i have a shelter.

All the time the Duke went to Clear Water City, it was still under strict control.Until the noble allied forces came here and fought a big victory.Afterwards, amidst the political dirty tricks, the lord of Fallen Leaf City changed.

And with the success of the front line, the main job of Fallen Leaf City is no longer to serve as a retreat, but to support the front line supplies.This makes people come and go here, and it seems that the management is very chaotic.It doesn't look like a fortress at all.

However, in the eyes of the nobles, the vicinity of Clearwater City is indeed not a front line. With the eastward advance of the coalition forces, this place has already retreated to the second line.

And in the eyes of many people, this material gathering place is also full of gold.

The knocking sound of the surrounding sheds brought George back to his thoughts, the place was filled with heat and mist.Many wandering knights and mercenaries were bargaining with the blacksmiths, and it was very lively.

Rona was chatting with Aji, and seemed very curious about the gesture he made when scaring away the hooligans just now.

"During the vacation, Frank and I joined the 'Brotherhood of Night Dire', which is a well-known organization of throat-cutters, and that hand gesture is the symbol of the Brotherhood." Aggie said.

In front of the tavern, the kid still wanted to ask for a drink, but Aji grabbed his ear and drove him away.

There are actually a lot of taverns in Fallen Leaf City, but the one in the blacksmith workshop area is indeed the largest because it is close to the water.

Although the tavern in the shelter has become very large due to the concentration of the population in the entire valley.But compared with this 'Pot of Senas', there is still some gap in scale.

Pot has three meanings.One refers to fine wine, one refers to the fact that the traffic of people coming and going can be accommodated, and the other is related to prostitutes-in fact, it is an annex to the largest brothel in the city.

After George walked in, he saw a passage on the side of the spacious hall-this passage was looking into an area of ​​the brothel next door.

It is already high in the sun, but in fact the wandering warblers have just woken up.He couldn't help but look over there, and the scene inside suddenly gave him a strange feeling in his heart.

The decoration over there is much more luxurious than here, it looks like a living room in a manor house.There are various sofas, many oil paintings hanging on the walls, and some interesting antiques.It doesn't look like a place to receive guests, but rather a salon for nobles to rest and chat.Or an aristocratic club.

The wandering warblers who just woke up and finished dressing up are lazy and do everything.There were a few nobles who got up early, their chests were not buttoned up, and they were leaning on the sofa and teasing with the girls.

George blinked, suddenly realizing what that strange feeling was—going home.

'I used to study abroad, wouldn't I live in this kind of place most of the time? ! '

Indeed, he is very familiar with this kind of place, knowing that there is no "live broadcast" on this floor, and the really interesting place is upstairs

"Boss, boss" Aji shouted in embarrassment.

George turned his head and saw that Lorna and the others were already sitting in their seats, looking at him with weird faces.

He coughed in embarrassment, sat down and said, "Don't you guys think this architectural pattern is very advanced?"

Aji and Lorna rolled their eyes fiercely.

This tavern is very spacious and divided into several areas.There is even a passage leading to the brothel next door.George sat on his seat, looked over there, and saw the crowd of gorgeous flowers over there.

There are many aristocrats who come here to consume. If these rich gentlemen don't spend the night at the place arranged by the Earl of Leiden, they will live in a brothel.

In addition, many blacksmiths are also frequent customers of the brothel and this tavern.And they are also the most popular people besides the nobles.After all, the blacksmith's status is not only extremely high, but also very rich, he is a real upper class person.

There remains a class of people whose pockets are now full and now clean.Most of them are wandering knights and mercenaries.Most of them will live in taverns, and occasionally go to brothels for consumption.

There are usually a lot of people in these two places, but now it may be because of the price, the rich go to the brothel, and the poor don't want to live in the tavern.Find a place to stay overnight.So the tavern at noon was a little deserted.

After rejecting a few wandering warblers who came for a stroll, George and the others had their first warm meal here.

0243 Four-winged eagle (two in one)

To be honest, these days have been running around day after day, and the road is tiring and bitter.They can have a mouthful of hot food, no matter how high the price is, they will accept it—even if the bartender asks for eight silver foxes!

But when the cod, cheese, beef, sausage, etc. were served one by one, the four of them could not help but slowly widen their eyes.

It turned out to be fresh, not bacon!And there are spices like pepper!

Aji looked at the last two roasted chickens and a small bucket of ale, tore apart a piece of roasted chicken leg, leaned to George's side and said, "Boss, didn't we send so much food last time?"

Everyone knows the past situation of this clear water city. How many people died for that little food?

But it's only been a few months now, even the private taverns have so much food!

You know, in many places in the western region, people are still eating people!

"It's been a long time. Aggie." Looking at the peppercorns in the sweet soup in front of him, George knew that these things must have been shipped from the south.

The nobles in the south are gathering here like flies. Wherever the nobles go, the merchants and materials in the south will also go there.The wind direction of the nobles also represented the political wind direction. The battle of the Thorn Bird was received two months ago in the western valley, but in fact the battle was fought in winter.Later, because the battle situation gradually stabilized and resources near Clear Water City became more and more, few refugees escaped from Clear Water City.So for more than half a year, the latest news that Gudi received was that the Templars defeated the Kuroshio and lifted the siege of Clearwater City.

He said: "For such a long time, many things will happen. So it's not surprising that the supplies here are complete."

"But even though I said so, the appearance of this horse cheese is similar to the military rations made for Wing Feng City in Mufeng Manor." Aji looked strange, and looked at the few tables not far away with envy : "Is it possible that these sergeants are treated so well? The place designated for meals is a tavern? And if you win a battle, you can go whoring for nothing?!"

George ignored the crazy hint from his subordinates, followed Aji's gaze with an extremely strange expression, and looked at a few seats not far away.

That table is a group of new guests, the standard on them is like a patrol.

There are also quite a few sergeants at the bar, laughing and hugging a few wandering warblers who just came out.

If it is said that this is a normal rest, it is nothing to come to the tavern for a drink, but this is wartime!He didn't stay in the barracks, but came here to drink. It's a lax military discipline.

What's even more outrageous is that the patrol team even came here for a drink at noon.

"Boss, shouldn't our salaries be raised? The price of alcohol here is so high, and there are still people who come here every day." Aji has already begun to make it clear.

"It's not their salary." George took a sip of ale and sighed inwardly.Seeing this, he basically understood in his heart.

"There are extra money?! Boss, you are not encouraging me to change jobs, are you?"

George gave him a slap in the face.

At this time, another man with the appearance of a noble knight led a few soldiers into the tavern. Seeing the enthusiasm of the warblers, they seemed to be regular customers—George and others could tell that this knight seemed to be the Earl of Leighton retainer.

"My lord, look, the messenger is here." Roosegaard, who had been eating silently, said suddenly.

As if he had eyes behind him, he reached out and grabbed the sleeve of the passing knight.

Seeing the old homeless man suddenly pull him back, the flesh on that guy's face immediately turned horizontal.

Roosegerd suddenly nodded and said with a smile: "Don't you remember me, old friend? It's really not easy to meet here."

The knight obviously didn't know the old guy, but after seeing his eyes, he suddenly froze.He patted his head, and suddenly smiled at Roosegaard in a daze, as if he saw an acquaintance.

He sent away the wandering warblers and entourage around him, sat down directly, and chatted cordially with Rosgerd.But if you pay attention to his eyes, you will find that his eyes are very dull, as if he has lost his soul.

As George had suspected, the quartermaster had been reselling supplies.And the soldiers followed suit, and sold them secretly in exchange for wine.

What's even more outrageous is that not all the supplies shipped out of the city went to the front line.Many things were transported by moths to other territories - the lords of the western region tried to dump food into the territory, and the lords of the south tried to transport the Rodenk properties looted from the eastern front back to the territory.

Everyone takes what they need, and it seems that some kind of unspoken rule has been reached.

After listening, Aji's eyes widened: "Isn't the city lord guarding here the biggest moth?!"
