American TV series: Start with the little Sheldon's wool

Chapter 593 Identity Exchange
The warm yellow oil lamps illuminated the mottled wooden wall panels. Mike watched the half-elf woman walk through the noisy crowd and go to the corner on the other side of the tavern.

"Did I guess wrong?"

Mike clearly sensed malice from the half-elf woman, but the reminder she gave before she left didn't seem like she was a bad person. "Forget it, who cares. Whether she's good or bad, it doesn't affect me anyway."

People's minds are complicated, and it doesn't feel good to keep spying on other people's minds. Therefore, Mike will not actively use [Mind Reading] on other people unless necessary.

After shaking his head slightly, Mike retracted his gaze and focused on the map he had just obtained.

The map is very crude, but most areas are marked, so it is barely usable.

"I didn't expect that half-elf is really capable." After getting what he wanted, Mike was not interested in staying in the hall to listen to the drunkards bragging, so he asked the bartender for a room and went to the second floor.

On the other side, Sophia also went to find her companions, two tall rangers.

"How was it? What did you get?" asked David, an older ranger with long hair.

Sophia returned with open palms, threw eight golden coins onto the table, and then carefully put all the coins into the pouch around her waist.

One gold coin is enough for a normal family of three to spend for a month, so eight gold coins for a simple map is already a lot.

"It has been confirmed that the other party is not only a big fat sheep, but also a rookie. He actually wants to cross the entire continent and go to Lonely Mountain..." Sophia, who put away the gold coins, said: "So, this time we 'rob the rich and help the poor', maybe it can be regarded as saving his life."

Ordinary rangers don't have an easy life, as they usually can't deal with those strong orcs and ogres.

They can also bully the weak goblins in the forest.

Therefore, in order to survive, most rangers have their own side jobs, such as part-time hunting or collecting herbs in the forest.

There are also some rangers who occasionally do some shameful side jobs.

For example, Sophia's ranger team sometimes does some "rob the rich and help the poor" business.

"I think it's a bad idea for us to do this..." Just as Sophia was about to make a plan, the younger ranger Sam said hesitantly, "With our abilities, why don't we go to Mirkwood and take on some missions to kill orcs and giant spiders? We can also make money there."

It is obvious that this young ranger has a relatively high moral level.

“Don’t be silly. Fighting with dangerous dark creatures is not as easy as robbing rich people. At worst, we can be gentler this time and leave some money for that “fat sheep” to go home. Seeing his delicate skin and tender flesh, it’s better for him to go home early…” Sophia, who looks younger than Sam but has lived for hundreds of years, is the boss of this team because she is the strongest.

Due to her special half-elf identity, Sophia has seen too much darkness, so her character is no longer naive.

"Let's do it in the Green Dragon Tavern. There shouldn't be any problem with boss Abra, right?" As an old ranger, David also didn't think there was anything wrong with robbing a "fat sheep".

But before taking action, he still had some concerns.

"I know Abra's character. As long as we don't kill anyone, he generally won't care..." Then, Sophia ignored Sam's opinion and worked with David to make a plan to rob the "fat sheep".

……

"Stop, you liar, I will make you pay today!!!"

After following Mike to the accommodation area on the second floor, Sophia and the other two staged a chase scene.

David and Sam acted ferociously and pushed Sophia towards Mike.

"Help me~" After approaching the target, Sophia showed a weak expression and hid behind Mike.

"Kid, this is none of your business, get out of the way~" David raised his weapon and threatened: "Otherwise you can pay us a hundred gold coins as compensation for her, and this matter will be over..."

"How about it? It only takes some gold coins and you can be a hero and save the damsel in distress."

It has to be said that the performance of these three people has captured the psychology of men who love to show off their power.

A hero saves a beautiful girl, what a good script. However, Mike was not a young and arrogant boy. He watched the performance of the three people in front of him with great interest, and he was sure that the half-elf woman was not a good person.

"What are you daydreaming about? If you don't give me money, don't blame me for being rude to you." Seeing that Mike was indifferent, David started his performance again.

He is tall and has a ferocious expression, which does give him an oppressive look.

"Isn't it just money? There are more than a hundred gold coins in here. The extra ones can be considered as tips for you." Mike suddenly had a purse in his hand. After weighing it twice, he threw it directly to David opposite him.

"This..." David looked at the pink purse in his hand and felt that it looked familiar.

At this moment, Sophia, who was hiding behind Mike, suddenly reached for her waist and said in surprise: "That's my purse~"

"Yeah, losing money to avoid disaster, what's wrong with that?" Mike said seriously.

It was at this moment that Sophia, who didn't know when her purse was taken away, and David, who was holding a purse on the opposite side, realized at the same time that they had met a tough opponent.

But at this point, even if her plan was discovered by the other party, Sophia would accept it.

So she gave David a veiled look.

"You are indeed very rich. Now I have changed my mind..." David understood what he meant and stepped forward again to threaten, "Boy, hand over all the money you have."

At the same time, Sophia behind Mike also acted scared and quietly hugged Mike's arm.

"You're trying to scam me out of my money, so you're trying to rob me." Feeling the pressure on his arm, Mike showed a half-smile.

Then, before Sophia could react, Mike dragged her forward and chopped David and Sam to the ground with two knife strikes.

"How about it? Are you satisfied with this way of being a hero saving the beauty?" Mike asked with a smile, holding the pink purse he got back in one hand and the half-elf woman's waist with the other.

After playing this game with the other party for so long, it's time to collect some interest.

"What do you want to do?" Sophia was a little panicked. She found that the "fat sheep" in front of her was more powerful than she thought.

She couldn't get rid of the hands on her waist. This was incredible for a half-elf warrior.

As the favorites of the creator god Ilúvatar, the elves are born with stronger physique and strength than humans, as well as eternal life.

As a half-elf, Sofia naturally inherited some abilities of the elves. At least her strength is much greater than that of ordinary humans.

But now that she was being held hostage, she couldn't use any strength even if she had it.

"Don't you know what you want to do?" Mike used his arms to force the half-elf woman to stick completely to him, then walked towards his room with a smile.

This trick is called: Evil will be punished by evil.

"Hey~ Friend, can you give me a favor and spare Sophia and the others this time?" Just then, a muscular, bearded, mature man walked out from the corner of the second floor.

"So your name is Sophia, what a nice name." Mike teased the woman in his arms, then turned to look at the newcomer and said, "You must be the owner of this tavern. Since you pretended to be dumb and blind before, you don't have much face in front of me now."

Mike had sensed this person before and had been watching the show from the corner for a long time.

"It seems that I was presumptuous." Seeing Mike's tough attitude, Abra smiled apologetically and turned away.

Just as Sophia said, he was not the kind of person who liked to meddle in other people's affairs.

"Next, it's time to settle our accounts." Without anyone getting in the way, Mike simply picked up Sophia and walked into the room.

It’s true that half-elf women also have their own advantages. They are beautiful in appearance but not as thin as elven women.
