The Emir Empire, a tavern outside Farah forest.

The Bard with silver hair is playing an old tune on the stage. On the bar, a tall man is sitting naked with a glass in his hand. He is glaring at the red haired widow's landlady who is wearing a black tight leather suit behind the bar. The waiter holding a large plate of beer is delivering wine from table to table.

"The most powerful devil in the legend, his treasure is piled up with ten castles,

through the deepest lake of death,

across the most dangerous dark forest,

on the sunset cliff,

is the devil's palace,

the brave wield their swords,

cut off the evil magic thorns,

sapphire Scepter for hope,

the kingdom is the most powerful one Beautiful princess,

crown the winner himself,

he will become a new king. "

The melodious sound of the piano mingles with the noise of the tavern. The guests don't take this long-standing ballad to heart. They drink a lot and eat large pieces of meat. They talk about Warcraft, wine and women. They laugh from time to time, and their voices can be heard in the tavern.

This is an ordinary tavern on the border of the Empire. Because it is close to Farah forest, many mercenaries come here to have a rest, so the business is always very good.

In front of the wooden table in the corner of the tavern, a thin figure was sitting quietly, with a wine glass in front of him. The figure was wearing dark brown trousers and a coat. His boots tightly wrapped his long legs. The leather hat on his head covered most of his face, revealing only half of his white chin and a touch of brilliant gold around his ears.

The figure held a long sword tightly in both hands, and his waist was very straight. He seemed to be thinking about something, but in fact he had been paying attention to the movement in the tavern.

"As you say, will not princess Sophie marry the man who has the scepter of hope?" At the table next to him, several mercenaries in leather clothes were talking about the latest gossip, especially the news coming from the imperial city recently.

"Yes, who let the king have only such a daughter?" Another gray haired mercenary shrugged and said.

"Well, I don't know who will marry the most beautiful princess Sophie, the Pearl of the kingdom?" A short mercenary with vision: "I heard that Princess Sophie's long hair is more dazzling than the sun's gold, her skin is whiter than snow, her blue eyes are more beautiful than the sky, her red lips are more delicate than the first rose blooming in the morning..."

Listening to each other's words, the figure's hand holding the sword became tighter. He restrained his emotions and slowly released his long fingers on the hilt.

A bearded mercenary sighed with regret: "if only I could get the scepter!"

"Don't dream. Do you know how dangerous the dark forest is?" The gray haired mercenary, who was the first to speak, cried, "it's said that the Warcraft inside is more and more ferocious. No one who walks in can come out! Moreover, the sunset cliff is surrounded by numerous poisonous black thorns. As long as it touches a thorn, it will fester into a pool of black water! "

"That's what I said..." He stopped his mouth bitterly. Of course, he knew how dangerous it was to get the scepter, not to mention the most ferocious and powerful magic king in the legend: "and the one who got the scepter can inherit the throne, and I don't know who will be so lucky!"

"Don't think about it." The short mercenary also said, "it has nothing to do with us anyway. Why don't you think about hunting more squeaky beasts and selling their fur to the merchants in the city for a little more money to drink more wine?"

"So it is." The bearded mercenary took the wooden wine cup in front of him and drank all the golden beer in it: "come on! After this drink, let's go! "

"Good!" The other mercenaries raised their glasses one after another and finished the wine in one breath. The gray mercenary patted the table: "come on! Check out

The lady in black leather came out from behind the bar and looked at the wine glass on the table. Her lips turned red: "ten copper coins in all."

The gray mercenary took out a money bag from his arms, counted ten old copper coins and put them on the table. Then he and his companions picked up the weapons on the ground and swaggered away.

The figure sitting in the corner saw this and hung his sword on his waist. She was about to get up and follow him. As soon as the landlady looked at the wine glass on his desk, she quickly reached out to stop him! Want to run without paying? "

Figure one hand holding the hat to cover his face, one hand from the clothes out of a coin, impatiently throw to the landlady, and then whisk her hand, hurry to follow up.

The landlady subconsciously catches the coin. She just wants to say that it's not enough. A glass of beer is two copper coins. However, the coin in her hand flashes in the dark tavern, and the silver light suddenly falls into her eyes. When she takes a close look, what she holds in her hand is a brand-new silver coin!

She was incredulous. She looked at the silver coin in her hand, then looked back and forth, put it in her mouth and bit it. Then she opened her eyes excitedly.

"My God It's real silver

The mercenaries who saw all this were also shocked to know that a silver coin could be exchanged for a thousand copper coins. For those mercenaries who lived at the bottom, they could only earn dozens of copper coins at a time. This silver coin was enough for them to work hard for more than half a year.www.novelhall.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
