Chapter 128: Tarakhan city at night
Because of the tiger thing, the panda is not in a good mood.
When he was in a bad mood, he couldn't sleep well. He simply got up and went out and wandered around Tara Khan City.
Because there is the "Legendary Paladin Scourge Demon" in front, and the adventurer team fights the demon army in the back, the atmosphere in Tarakhan City is quite tense now. Walking on the street, a team of patrolling soldiers will pass by from time to time. Many soldiers watch The gaze towards the panda is not friendly.
The panda's helmet has no face shield, and the bearman's face can be seen clearly. The patrolling soldiers don't pay attention to "if you don't make trouble, you'll be fine" like the city gate guards. On the contrary, they are very keen to make trouble. For them, making trouble means benefits, or money, or merit.
However, they only dared to look at the panda with provocative eyes.
Even among the orcs, the bearmen are a particularly brave group. If you anger the bear man, maybe everyone can kill him, but the person who caused the trouble will probably die.
Soldiers on patrol want to make a living, want to make a fortune, but definitely don't want to die.
If they don't want to die, they can only keep their mouths shut.
Of course, the panda could see the provocation in their eyes. He smiled coldly, and pretended to ignore it, and walked right past these patrolling soldiers without even the slightest response.
He had heard a great saying - the greatest contempt is ignorance. Although he did not understand the spirit of this sentence very well, it did not prevent him from pretending to be a coward according to this sentence.
It turns out that works well.
When he casually walked past the patrolling soldiers, he clearly heard the sound of gnashing teeth and even drawing a sword from behind.
But the patrolling soldiers were just drawing their swords after all.
Although they discriminate against orcs, they are not stupid. A person who has the confidence to look down on a team of patrolmen is either stupid and bold, or a real master. The possibilities of the two are roughly the same, but for them, encountering the latter is a group annihilation-although there are resurrection spells in this world, the restrictions are extremely costly and they cannot afford it.
Panda won the game so lightly, and walked leisurely into a tavern on the side of the road.
According to the rules of Jianghu, he came to the counter of the tavern and ordered a bottle of ordinary wine.
The wine was delivered quickly, and he was not in a hurry to drink, but asked the bartender if there was anything he could do.
The bartender looked at him with some embarrassment, was silent for a while, took back the bottle, and poured him a glass of wine.
"I invited you," said the tall and thin bartender. "I really don't have a job here for you."
"Tarahan City is so peaceful?" Panda asked in surprise. "I remember that even in the most peaceful place, there's always something to do—otherwise, everyone would come out and hang out, what would they eat?"
The bartender smiled bitterly, but a tall adventurer not far away laughed loudly: "Now the situation in Tarakhan City is so tense, you are an outsider, and you are an orc, how dare he give you the task Do?"
Only then did Panda understand, looked at the bartender again, and asked, "There's no such thing..." He made a gesture of wiping his neck with a knife, "It doesn't matter whether it is vertical or horizontal?"
"There's really no such thing." The bartender replied, "Since the 'Talahan's Brave' group of people were born, these more difficult and easily fatal tasks have been solved by them. Now I have the The tasks are not too difficult and focus more on credit.”
Panda was helpless, sighed, and still took out a silver coin: "Then give me something, I can't just run around in vain, and it's okay to have two drinks."
The big man came over with a smile: "That's right! How can things go smoothly in the world! When you are happy, you drink two glasses, and you will be happy; when you are unlucky, you will drink two glasses and get rid of your worries when you are drunk. This friend has a good face, no Do you know where it came from?"
He looks careless and rude, but Panda can clearly see that his footwork is very particular. If Panda turns his face and starts to move, he can retreat behind a nearby table as soon as possible.
Obviously, this is a person who hides a delicate heart with a rough appearance, which should not be underestimated.
"I came from the steppe," he said. "I have come a long way."
"The past few years on the grassland have been good and the weather has been good. What are you doing in the south?"
"I heard an old man say that life is about a trip once in a while." Panda replied, "The old man is old and can't walk anymore. He lamented that he didn't go out for a walk when he was young. Looking at the sky and grass in the grassland. So I thought, while I am young, I will walk around."
The tyrannical man was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that this burly bear man, like a big pillar, turned out to be an artistic romanticist, and for a while he didn't even know how to talk to him.
Fortunately, his companion, a tall and well-proportioned woman spoke up: "Some time ago, I heard a passing bard sing a very interesting song, in which there are two lines that said, 'Life is not only about life, but also poetry. And the distant fields'...if you meet him, you will have a very common language."
Panda was stunned for a moment and asked, "What does the bard look like?"
"He is taller than you, has bright red hair, wears a big nose ring, and carries a concertina that can be used as a weapon no matter how you look at it. The sound of the piano is low and melodious, and the tune is simple and lively, very pleasant."
Panda was silent for a while and asked, "The appearance you mentioned is a bit strange-is this really a bard?"
"I don't know either," said the bartender. "That night, around the same time, he walked in with a big smile. We thought he was looking for a job—he's so big and strong after all, but he said, 'Everyone has Are you free? Come and listen to my song when you are free'... Then take off that strange concertina and sing while playing."
"What songs did he sing?"
"There are four songs in total, one is this, one is 'There is a girl in the village named Xiaofang', one is 'That is the person I love and miss day and night', and the other is 'You ask my love How deep are you'... They're all songs that I haven't heard before, and they're very nice." The woman who looked at the costume should be a ranger said, "Unfortunately, he left with a smile after singing, and he didn't charge a single coin, nor did he Introduce yourself...he is really a very handsome person!"
Panda was silent.
He was already certain that this "very dashing bard" was probably his acquaintance.
"Speaking of which, before I met him, I really didn't know there were such excellent bards among your orcs." The tyrannical man said, "Looking at his appearance, I thought he was a tauren warrior."
"Is he a tauren?" Panda asked in mock surprise.
Several people laughed, obviously proud of teasing him a little.
"Yes, he's a tauren, a very special tauren," said the bartender.
Panda nodded secretly, that guy is indeed a very special tauren. Even though he was a shaman by profession, he often inserted a totem pole and began to sing on the battlefield. That guy was the only one.
The ID "Niu Tonin", alias "Xian Gaoling", is a member of the traversers, one of the members of the trouble-making group who came with him last time.
