Chapter 159 Alter's Allegiance
The early morning fog filled the entire forest, and the fog in the east was dyed golden yellow by the newborn sun, and more forests still seemed to be in a deep sleep, still white.
Three people in black came out of the white mist that filled the sky, and the endless mist rolled around them, and seemed to be conscious, and slowly retreated when they were about to arrive.
Ace took Bill and Alt into the tavern. It is not accurate to say that it is a tavern, because it is just a shed built of straw. There are a few rough wooden tables and benches in the shed. Whether it is brewing or serving wine, Still wiping the tables and chairs, ordering and checking out are all done by the tavern owner alone.When Ace and the others arrived, the tavern was empty except for one table that was full of people.
Ace asked the tavern owner for three bowls of ale.
At this time, they were already on Mount Mom, one of the eleven great mountains in the Territory of Chaos.Since Ace wants to conquer the Territory of Chaos, he must understand this.
The ale in the Territory of Chaos is very spicy, and in the words of the people on the mountain, it is delicious. In their opinion, the famous wines of the two empires are too soft, and they are wines that only women can drink.
Of course, the women on the mountain would not agree with this statement.
In the Territory of Chaos, only the leaders of the big forces will raise two women as vases. Most of these leaders escaped from the two empires. People who have lived in the Territory of Chaos for generations will only admire and marry powerful women. A woman is a wife.
The Territory of Chaos is a place where toughness is the beauty.
Alter took the bowl with his hand and stuffed the bowl of ale like drinking water.
Ace tasted it, only to feel that his throat was burning, and the ale was poured directly into his stomach, causing waves of heat.
The ale here is too bad.Ace put the bowl down and didn't drink any more.
Bill didn't even touch the bowl on the table.
After becoming a high-level mage, Bill never tires of food and food, and never treats himself badly.Being captured by Ace and going to Eternal Night City, General Arnold will not treat Bill harshly in life. At the same time, Bill's strength has gone a step further, and the most luxurious things in the world are easily available to him.Despite losing his freedom, Bill has a better life.He was even less interested in the ale here.
Alter is talking to Ace about Mount Momb. Mount Momb is the mountain where Ace and the others are now. The mountain where Alter used to be has cooperated with Mount Momb, so he knows it better.
Ace and the others plan to use Momb Mountain as a breakthrough to encroach on the territory of the Territory of Chaos.
Ace listened to Alter talking on one side, and greeted the owner of the tavern on the other side, wanting to pay the bill.When the dark-skinned, skinny-looking little man waved his hands repeatedly and rejected Ace's gold coins from the Pansy Empire and the Gold Coins from the Finger Empire, Ace asked in surprise, "Then what do you accept here?"
Usually when Ace goes out, Bill pays for it, but it is rare for Ace to pay out of his own pocket, but he is rejected.Ace was naturally surprised.
Alter and Bill sat next to Ace without speaking.Ace wanted to communicate with ordinary people in the Territory of Chaos and understand their thoughts, so Alt and Bill naturally wouldn't talk too much.
Before the tavern owner could speak, a drake-like voice sounded from the table next to Ace and the others, "Anyone who doesn't understand anything should not come to a place where he shouldn't be, lest one day something goes wrong and you have to troublesome people to collect the body."
This was said coldly and without kindness.
Ace knew who was speaking without turning his head. There were four people sitting next to them, two young fourth-level swordsmen, and an older seventh-level knight. The teenager is the leader.There was ale on their table, and there were a lot of freshly baked bread, which seemed to be eating breakfast.
Ace just glanced at them at the time and didn't take them seriously.I didn't expect someone to take the initiative to hit the gun.
With the seventh-level knights as guards, Ace knew that this boy could not be from an unknown family. If the scope was limited to the Territory of Chaos, it would be even smaller.Ace looked at him with a half-smile, and said deliberately: "Do you know?"
The young man was in the period of changing his voice and his personality was also sensitive and proud. He knew that Ace was aggressive, but he couldn't help jumping off the pit. He put a level 1 magic crystal on the table and said, "Check out!"
At the same time, the boy looked up at Ace, as if mocking him.Do you understand?
Although the owner of the tavern didn't know what the two sides were arguing about, he got this level 3 magic crystal for nothing.
You know, when people usually come to the tavern to drink ale, each person only pays one level 1 magic crystal, even if there are 1 people plus bread, four level 4 magic crystals are enough.The level 4 magic crystal paid by Master Andy is enough to exchange for 1 level 3 magic crystals. Isn't this a windfall?
"It's not very troublesome to use magic crystals directly to make transactions." Ace raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the Territory of Chaos was so backward that it didn't even have a mature currency system.
Master Andy laughed and said: "We don't think much of gold coins used by country bumpkins."
The most rustic part of the continent laughs at other people as rednecks...
Master Andy wanted to choke again, but Alter took the initiative and said: "In the past, the Pansy Empire and the Finger Empire's gold coins were accepted by the Chaos Leader, and they even recognized the silver frost shells from the Millais Library, as well as other forces' gold coins. common currency.
However, in the past hundred years, the Pansy Empire has implemented a policy of clearing the wilderness, strictly investigating all funds of unknown origin, and it is difficult for the money from the Lord of Chaos to enter the market of the Pansy Empire.The "reef" hidden between the two empires has been destroyed a lot. The merchants and forces of the Territory of Chaos investing in other "countries" have suffered a lot of losses. Gradually, the Territory of Chaos generally only recognizes the Finger Empire. gold coins. "
Ace continued, "The Finger Empire does not manage the capital flow of the empire, except that the merchants of the empire have too much influence, which will easily offend the interests of many people, and they also mean to treat the Territory of Chaos as leeks? What about the Finger family? When they ran out of money, they placed the Territory of Chaos in the money-laundering forces of the Finger Empire to clean up, and cut a few waves of leeks every now and then to save the emergency. It would be good to think about it. Even if they were found out, they would not be able to find the people in the Finger Empire In the imperial capital, you can only curse in the mountains. Muse Finger is right, the Territory of Chaos is also the territory of the Finger Empire."
"Yes, the Territory of Chaos now also accepts the gold coins of the Finger Empire, but some mountain owners have noticed the meaning of the Finger Empire and no longer allow the gold coins of the Finger Empire to circulate in the mountains." Alter glanced across the tavern The boss, and the guests at the other table, said: "They just don't openly break the rules in front of Shanzhu and the people in Shanzhu's mansion."
A group of outlaws will not become well-behaved when they reach the Territory of Chaos, but most of them still know how to advance and retreat. Offending the most powerful person on this mountain will not do them any good.
It's not that the people of insight in the Territory of Chaos have never thought about establishing a currency system that belongs here alone. Most people don't understand it, and they don't bother to do it. A small number of people hope to gain power and make a fortune through these things.The Mountain Lord of the Territory of Chaos changed too quickly. After the new Mountain Lord was replaced, who would recognize the currency issued by the old Mountain Lord's Mansion?
No one wants to save a large amount of money to become useless. Is money that no one loves still money?
"You?" The young master was naturally unhappy that his home was designated as the territory of another empire, but what's interesting is that Alter didn't say anything good about the Territory of Chaos, but he just stared at Ace.The young master was about to tear Ace apart when he was stopped by an older knight beside him.
The middle-aged man next to the young master is ordinary in stature and looks ordinary on the outside, but his eyes are bright, and his radiance will show from time to time.Although the adults in his family felt that there would be no accidents with Andy in the Territory of Chaos, especially on Mount Mom, they still asked the middle-aged man to follow Andy just for this moment.
In order to prevent Eddie from offending people who shouldn't be offended when he doesn't know it.
The middle-aged man had already been watching Ace and the others when they came to the tavern.
Of the three of them, except for Ace, who just broke through to the fourth-level swordsman, he couldn't see the depth of the others. At first, the middle-aged man thought that they used magic props to cover up their breath, until he tried to test them with fighting spirit , His grudge had just left his body, and he was still far away from the people at the table. The young man with curly brown hair who looked like an artist gave him a "friendly" smile.
Neither sooner nor later, just at that moment, Bill smiled gently and penetrated people for no reason.
The middle-aged man barely concealed the turmoil in his heart, and he didn't dare to look over there.
Seeing the strong man with brown curly hair naturally set the wine bowl for the black-haired young man, the middle-aged man decided to report to the mountain owner immediately after returning, that a mysterious strong man appeared on the mountain.
If it weren't for the fact that Master Andy was there, leaving in a hurry would easily arouse suspicion, and the middle-aged man would not be here long ago.
The middle-aged man stood in front of the young master and explained to Ace and the others, "The young master grew up in Momb Mountain, and he has a deep affection for this place." There is no lack of strength in the words, "In the Pansy Empire, the Finger Empire From the perspective of most people, the Territory of Chaos lacks order and law, but everyone here is equal and free. So in order to defend our lives and our freedom, we are also the strongest."
The tavern owner stood by, watching the scene with interest.
If ordinary people saw this scene, they would probably want to avoid it.But the owner of the tavern in Mount Mom looked inconspicuous, but he was a third-level swordsman. He could not open the tavern safely in the realm of chaos.Even if someone really did something here, as long as they didn't hit him, it wouldn't be difficult for him to save his life.
As for the straw huts, tables, and chairs in the tavern, let alone a real fight, Ace and the others may lose money. Looking at Ace's appearance, the tavern owner guessed that he was a nobleman from two empires. These people like others to praise them the most. "Merciful" too.It’s just that no one lost money. It took two days to build the tavern. How could it be more interesting to watch Mom’s house lively?
Ace really didn't expect someone in the Territory of Chaos to shout the slogan "equality". This is not ancient Greece, but this is the place where the law of the jungle and the law of the jungle are most sought after. A long time ago, Ace heard the ballads of bards, The mountains of the Territory of Chaos are piled up with the bones of the dead.This is of course an exaggeration, but here, it is indeed not uncommon for everyone to die.
It may be that Ace obviously didn't take the middle-aged man's words to heart, or it may be that Ace's expression is so interesting, the middle-aged man said again: "I am Alfonso, the chief knight of the Morme family. who?"
Art told Ace: "Conan Mom, the head of the Mom family, is the current owner of Mount Mom. Their family's overall strength in the Territory of Chaos is not strong, but Conan Mom's own strength is not weak."
"Master Art?! You, how can you say that?" When the young boy heard what Art said, his eyes turned red instantly.
Alter was only speaking at a normal volume, but the distance between the two of them was too close, and the young boy from Mom's family could easily hear Alter's words.Ace looked at him curiously, and asked, "Alter, do you know each other?"
"I've been to Momb Mountain twice, but I haven't seen him." Alter said matter-of-factly: "But it's not necessarily true. I'm a little face blind, and swordsmen below the fourth level don't remember it on purpose."
What Alter meant was that the boy was not even qualified to be remembered by him.
Ace looked at the young man's eyes that were red with resentment, a bit like a fierce little rabbit, and laughed in his heart, and said, "I just heard you say that the Mom family is turning [-] this year, but there is only one only child."
"Yes." Alter said.
A family with a weak comprehensive strength has seventh-level knights as guards. The answer is obvious. Ace said to the boy: "Are you Andy Mom?"
Andy Momme - Conan Momme's only son.
When Ace said the boy's name, the boy on the opposite side snorted twice angrily, but didn't say anything to refute.
Alfonso's heart tightened. He didn't know that this young man was Arte, the most popular young man in the leader of chaos in the past two years.
A few months ago, Alter had been to Mount Mombe. Alfonso had a mission at the time and was not in Mount Mombe.Later, Lord Conan Momu said to Alfonso, "Alter, he is the most talented young man I have ever seen. There is no famous teacher to teach, no clan cultivation, but he can reach this point at this age. Ah Fonso, if Arte was born 20 years earlier, he is the one who may compete for the leader of chaos."
"It's just now that he has broken through level eight, but I don't think level nine will become his checkpoint. Give him enough time, and he may even become a saint." Conan Mom's words are still in Alfonso's ears Resounding, he was so caught off guard that he saw the young man who was highly respected by the mountain lord.
sanctified.
This is the dream most longed for by all swordsmen.
Alfonso will not question the evaluation of Conan Mom Mountain Lord, since the Mountain Lord said that Alter may become a saint, he has this potential.But who would such a promising young man be able to serve the Lord?
