Pioneering

Chapter 166 The First Stroke Chapter 64 The Fortune Teller and the Tribulation
After a "bang", the bearded Ugo came and went quickly.

Before the bearded man caught Chi Ling, a purple beam of light sprang out from the stairway, like a flexible boa constrictor, tied him tightly in an instant, led him to break open the door of the tavern, threw on the road.

"My guest, I'm really sorry, the poor hospitality of the shop has surprised you." A lazy voice came from the stairway.

A woman wearing a purple dress, covered with a half veil, with a good figure and full of mysterious charm walked down the stairs slowly, yelling while walking, and said:

"As an apology, all the customers' consumption in the store today is free of charge. I hope you can understand."

At this time, Zhong Ming also opened the curtain, stopped Chi Ling who wanted to kill the bearded man, and subconsciously used the "Eye of True Seeing" to look at her.

Strange, really strange.

Why would a powerful witch, half of her foot step into the third-order existence, open a tavern in this wild place?

"The store manager's kindness, then I am worthy of it, but..."

Zhong Ming turned his head to look outside the store, and stared at Lorena with interest, watching how she would deal with that bearded man who was harboring evil intentions.

Lorena stretched her waist gracefully, her pretty figure was extremely charming.

But except for Zhong Ming, none of the male adventurers who were still on a rush of hormones just now dared to face up to this beauty, staring down at the food in silence, as if they saw some scourge.

Seeing Zhong Ming's eyes, Lorena frowned slightly, and her clear voice spread throughout the tavern:
"Ugo, you accounted for 8 gold, 16 silver and 3 copper in my store, plus the 12 gold I exempted this customer from spending, and the 10 gold compensation for the mental damage you harassed my clerk, and the operating compensation for affecting my tavern business 20 gold, and you will get 50 gold if you wipe the change.

Send it to me tomorrow morning, one less, not to mention your brother is the head of the boa constrictor regiment, he is the noble lord, I will let your family feed the undead!
It doesn't matter who comes, this Fengjuan Town, I, Lorena has the final say! "

After finishing speaking, the purple energy rope was lightly tightened, and Ugo let out a scream, and his right hand was immediately twisted and deformed. Without good treatment, whether he could hold a knife in the future would be a problem.

"Go away!" Lorena withdrew her spell and scolded.

Ugo lowered his head, his resentful eyes didn't even dare to look at Lorena, turned around and ran away without saying a word.

Lorena immediately smiled, turned to look at Zhong Ming, and asked if she was satisfied with this way of handling it.

Zhong Ming grinned: "Madam, it's not kind of you to do this.

We waived the meal expenses, you didn't post a cent, and you made a lot of compensation, I don't see your sincerity. "

"Oh, what does the guest mean?"

Zhong Ming didn't say it directly, but pointed to the adventurers around him: "This is not a good place to talk, why don't we go to another place to talk in detail?"

"Alright, guest, please follow me."

Lorena turned around and was about to lead Zhong Ming and the others upstairs, but before she left, she turned her head and looked at Mary: "Clean up this place, and don't forget, [-]% tip, I'll keep an eye on you!"

Mary thought that her chances of hooking up with rich men were less, so she snorted coldly, turned around and went to look for cleaning tools.

Zhong Ming stepped up to follow, Chi Ling looked at the food on the table tangled, opened his mouth wide, swept the food quickly, and followed with two bottles of wine: "Master, wait for me."

However, Zhong Ming still didn't let her follow, but simply threw her into the back kitchen, told her to eat whatever she wanted, and came to pick her up after he finished talking.

On the third floor of the tavern, in a bedroom full of feminine atmosphere, Zhong Ming and Lorena looked at each other. At first glance, the atmosphere was a bit subtle.

Lorena didn't have a strong and confident image just now, and she was slumped in the soft duvet: "It is indeed the shop's fault to surprise the customers for no reason, what compensation do the customers want?

More money, better weapons, rarer potions, or, do you want me? "

As Lorena spoke, she winked at Zhong Ming, and slowly lifted her veil: "The guest is so handsome, so it's not that I can't think about it."

Zhong Ming's heart beat faster when he saw Lorena's posture.

I have to say that among the women I have seen, she is beautiful enough to be ranked in the top three, on a par with Le Qi and Chi Ling, and even inferior to Keshalian, Shana, and Princess Morisa.

"Ahem, witches are so open."

"No, the guest is really sad, he is very clean, but you are too handsome, the guest, he is tempted." Lorena said perfunctorily.

"Are you referring to being tempted by the smell of gold coins on my body? I've heard of the name of the Money Witch."

Zhong Ming listened to the chatter of the adventurers on the first floor, and also heard a little about the deeds of the witch in front of him:

The only son of Earl Condela and the sole heir of the Wilson family—Little Ibay, he was madly infatuated with Lorena when he went out for training and passed through the Great Forest of Morton.

Xiao Yibai sent flowers, gifts, and meals. He was cold and warm, and he could be called the dog king among dogs.

Lorena was also happy to have such a suitor who would fight wherever she wanted, and give him whatever she lacked, so she hung him like this, refused to let her touch her hands, and forcibly emptied his belongings.

In order to continue his high-intensity pursuit, little Yibai even secretly used his family's resources to give him magic items, wands, and extraordinary metals...

Lord Condra gradually understood this matter. Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with his son's choice of marriage, Lorena was well-known near Morton Forest. In his eyes, at least she was a powerful extraordinary person, and it would be good to strengthen the family's strength. , I pinched my nose and recognized it.

But as little Yibai became more and more vigorous in his spending, to the point where it greatly affected the family's finances, but there was still no progress at all, Kondra muttered and forbade his son's crazy behavior.

Later, Condela brought a group of people to Fengjuan Town to find trouble for Lorena in a threatening manner, and left in despair.

Lorena, who almost squeezed out a big noble family, has the title of "Money Witch".

Andre Oya also acquiesced that Fengjuan Town is her territory, and no noble has ever dared to seal it here.

It would be a good deal to spend a natural town with an extremely dangerous location to appease a powerful wizard so that he can be recruited later. It would be a good deal to change to any kingdom that does not reject wizards.

"Oh, the guests really misunderstood me. I didn't take the Wilson family's things for nothing. I gave them the extremely precious potion. At most, it was a small profit for them." Lorena stretched out her hand and gestured a " a little bit" action.

"Ha ha."

"Although I don't know why, I always feel that the word guest is very impolite."

"Stop tempting each other. I'm in a hurry. I know you can do divination. I want you to do divination for me."

"Oh? The guest knows a lot, but I have never shown that I can do divination." Lorena gave him a meaningful look.

Zhong Ming shrugged: "Let's make a deal, you help me divination the giant's position, I'll help you find advanced materials, if I'm not mistaken, you are about to advance to the fifth ring?"

"The guest really knows too much, so much that he wants to keep you by his side forever." Lorena's eyes revealed a little bit of sharpness.

"Then why don't you try it and see if you can do it." Zhong Ming looked at her calmly.

The air was suddenly quiet and seemed a little dignified.

"I'm just joking." Lorena smiled, and the atmosphere instantly came alive.

"However, I'm afraid I really can't help much. I can easily do such a small matter of divination.

Even if the leading giant is stronger than me, I can still find them at a little cost.

But since the appearance of Andreouya's reward, the fate of these giants has been involved with a large kingdom.

When I peek into their fate, I peek into the fate of the entire Andreoia, sorry for my inability. "

Her consciousness is very clear, the cost of divination is too high, and she dare not accept it.

Zhong Ming frowned slightly, vaguely feeling that she was indeed telling the truth, and immediately revealed his identity, inviting her to be a tutor at the Axia Academy of Wizardry.

When Lorena heard this, she was a little tempted. She hesitated, but she still refused. After all, to be able to practice alone to the present level, she focused on laziness and stability.

Yaxia's kingdom is not yet stable, and the reputation of the gods behind it is not very great. Joining now, although the benefits are high, the risks are also high.

She would rather add to the icing on the cake than give a helping hand.

Zhong Ming had no choice but to leave the tavern with Chi Ling, who was so comfortable to eat that he didn't want to move, and was going to find the location of those adventure groups first, to inquire about the news.

After twisting and turning, Zhong Ming walked to an inaccessible alleyway. Zhong Ming turned his head and said, "Come out, this place is suitable for killing people, do you still want me to invite you out?"

"Boy, you are very sensible. I will definitely give you a good time later." Several burly men appeared behind Zhong Ming in an instant, and the leader who spoke was Hugo who had a broken hand.

The lewd eyes of these people were locked on Chi Ling's body, making Chi Ling's hair stand on end and his fists clenched.

Zhong Ming stroked his chin and said, "For the sake of my knowledge, can you tell me why you came to trouble me? I don't seem to have provoked you."

"It's your fault that you are weak. How can there be so much nonsense, bring it to you!" A man with a scarred face was furious, and suddenly rushed towards Zhong Ming.

Zhong Ming clasped his hands horizontally and said, "Chi Ling, just keep your breath."

"Okay, master, please take care." Chi Ling excitedly waved his fist, and Dang even rushed forward.

……

"Grandma, stop beating, stop beating, if you beat again, you will lose your breath!"

"Beauty, sister, no, mother, please forgive me!"

"Ancestor, don't kick there!"

Chi Ling turned a deaf ear to it, and continued to punch and kick, beating these formal knight adventurers to their wits, staring at each other, foaming at the mouth...

Even if it is the red spirit that transforms into a human form, it is at the level of a three-to-four transformation into a sky knight. How can these scumbags compete.

"Okay, Chi Ling, you stop first." Zhong Ming put his hand on Chi Ling's shoulder.

"Hmm." Chi Ling stepped back obediently.

Zhong Ming straightened his sleeves: "Now, I ask, you answer. If you can't answer, you will die. If you answer slowly, you will die. Understand?"

Several people wailed and did not answer.

With a "poof", a robber's head flew up, and the gushing blood splashed the faces of the other three.

"Hey, it seems that you guys really have backbone..."

Before Zhong Ming could finish speaking, Big Beard and the remaining two robbers hurriedly said:
"Understood, understood, sir, you can ask whatever you want."

Zhong Ming asked: "Are you from the Boa Constrictor?"

The three replied in unison: "Yes, yes."

"Sorry, you're slow." Zhong Ming raised his hand a little, and a blood flower bloomed between the eyebrows of a robber, and fell to the ground.

"Where is the station?"

The remaining two were panicked and trembling with fright, but they still answered neatly:

"Drunkard's House, we all live in Drunkard's House." "Tavern House, behind the group of houses on the east side of town."

Zhong Ming nodded in satisfaction, without making a move: "Do you know where the Shuangma regiment and the Black Bear regiment are stationed?"

This time it was the bearded man who responded better: "I know, that brat from the Shuangma group brought a large group of old women into the Forest of Storms;

There were too many people in the Black Bear Group, and they camped near the brothel in the south of Fengjuan Town. "

Zhong Ming recalled the scene when he met Edgar. The two scaled horse-shaped monsters leading him really fit the name "Two Horses".

"Unfortunately, I can only invite you to visit the Underworld forever." Zhong Ming raised his hand, and a robber fell into a pool of blood.

"You are the only one left. Very good. Think about the last question and answer it. I promise not to kill you."

There was a foul smell from the lower body of the bearded man: "Yes, yes, sir, you can ask."

Zhong Ming took a half step back in disgust, and asked: "The current adventure team in the town, besides the three of you, name ten more who can be ranked, and where they are stationed."

In order to survive, the bearded man's head turned rapidly, and he felt that he had never been so enlightened in his life: "The Birds, the resident...; the Blue Lions, the resident...; the Thorn Society, the resident...:..."

After finishing the information about the ten adventure teams in one breath, the bearded man struggled and threw himself to the ground, begging for mercy despite being beaten to pieces by Chi Ling.

"Don't worry, I always keep my word. If I say 'I won't kill you', I will never kill you."

"Thank you sir, thank you sir."

Zhong Ming turned his head and gave Chi Ling a wink.

Under the master-servant contract, she immediately understood what he meant, rubbed her hands together, and a mass of crimson energy shot towards the bearded man, passing through her chest.

"You, you guys, don't keep promises." The bearded man glared at the two of them, struggling and saying bitterly.

"I didn't break the contract. I said I wouldn't kill you. Did I kill you?" Zhong Ming said confidently.

"You!" The bearded man was completely ignited in an instant, and quickly turned into a cloud of fly ash, disappearing from the world.

That night, the Boa Constrictor Group, the Black Bear Group and the other ten adventure teams were collectively robbed.

The boa constrictor group was completely wiped out, and the rest of the team was wounded. The captains kept secret what happened that night.

In addition, after this night, six locations where giants are most likely to appear were exposed by unknown persons.

All of a sudden, the adventurers in the town were gearing up and eager to try.
