Fantasy journey to the heavens

Chapter 88 Father and Daughter
Drip drip
Little drops of rain fell on the ground, bringing a sense of moisture to the earth.

In a small city on the border, an old tavern is located here.

There were many people sitting inside the tavern, and the members among them were mixed.

There are both local residents and foreign mercenaries and businessmen.

They were sitting here, drinking the cheapest drinks and eating simple meals.

Although the food was simple, the atmosphere of conversation was lively.

For those present, being able to drink warm wine and eat steaming food in such bad weather is a blessing in itself.

Zira
Following a burst of footsteps and a sizzling sound, the old wooden door was pushed open.

Someone else came in.

In such bad weather, it is not surprising that someone would enter the tavern. Many passers-by came in to avoid the rain.

But the person who came in this time felt a little strange.

That was a young man who looked very handsome.

The young man was wearing a black robe and a rain hat on his head. Most of his body was covered by the robe, so he couldn't see clearly. Only the long sword on his waist was very conspicuous.

In a place like this, this kind of person is very noticeable.

When the boy walked into the tavern, someone looked up and noticed him.

Some people raised their heads and then lowered their heads, not caring about the young man's arrival, but there were still some keen people who smelled the danger.

The boy in front of him was heavily bloody.
"One piece of barbecue, one piece of bread, and a few cups of hot water, thank you."

After casually ordering something, the young man looked around.

Because it was raining outside, the business in the tavern was unexpectedly good at the moment, and most of the seats inside were full.

The young man looked around, then walked up to a father and daughter and asked softly: "Hello, can I sit like this?"

The father-daughter combination in front of me is very strange.

Their faces were pale and they looked very tired. Although they were very downcast, their temperament did not look like ordinary people, but rather like those decent lords.

The father seemed quite wary of the young man's arrival, while the girl looked as if she had just cried and had no reaction. She just forced a smile on her face and said, "Please sit down."

The young man just sat down.

After a while, the waiter on the side brought bread and barbecue.

The young man stretched out his hand and casually threw a silver coin over.

This action is eye-catching.

Because the wallet was very bulging, it sounded like it was full of gold coins.

This moment attracted the attention and peeps of many people present.

However, in the face of this, the young man seemed not to notice, didn't care about it, and started eating directly.

While he was eating, a quarrel continued across the street.

The girl cried in a low voice, while the father spoke in a low voice, constantly comforting her.

"As long as we leave here, everything will be fine. They definitely haven't noticed that we're fine."

The voices of the father and daughter were kept very low, but unfortunately, to the young man, they were as clear as whispers in his ears.

He didn't pay attention to this, he just ate quietly alone and then got up.

He did not leave immediately, but walked to the corner of the tavern and found the tavern owner.

Compared to the bustle in the tavern, the boss seemed a bit out of place. From the beginning to now, he has been standing aside and working silently without saying a word.

"I want to get some information from you."

The young man smiled and took out a gold coin.

The boss couldn't help but pause.

As a tavern owner, he is usually very well-informed, and many people usually buy information from him.

It's just that guys as generous as the young man in front of me are quite rare.

His expression finally changed slightly and he lowered his head: "What do you want to ask?"

"It's very simple. It's just the address of a place."

The young man asked several questions.

As he said, these questions are really simple, just asking for a few place names.

Compared with the gold coin he gave, these questions seemed too simple.

But as he asked, the tavern owner's face became more serious.

He put down what he was doing and his expression turned respectful in an instant: "Mr. Love has been waiting for you in Bay City for a long time."

"You just have to go to Bay City and meet Mr. Sam there."

Seeing the boss's change of attitude, everyone present was secretly shocked.

Although they don’t know it in detail, people who have been hanging out there for a long time know that the owner of this tavern is not ordinary.

The other party seems to have some connection behind it, so he has been opening a tavern in this inevitable place without any accidents.

In the past, even when the nobles came, they never had any respectful attitude, but now they have become like this.

This can't help but make people feel surprised.

At this time, many people realized that the young man in front of them was unusual.

At this moment, there was a noise coming from behind, attracting the attention of many people.

At some point, a group of mercenaries walked in and had a conflict with the father and daughter.

They seemed to want to catch this strange father and daughter, so conflicts arose.

"It's the Poison Dragon Mercenary Group!" Someone on the side recognized the identity of this group of people and exclaimed.

It seems that the origins of this group of mercenaries are unusual.

The noise continued, and finally reached the young man.

A mercenary stretched out his hand roughly, trying to push the young man away and grab his purse that seemed to be filled with gold coins.

A white arm stretched out and grabbed the mercenary's hand.

A burst of screams suddenly came out.

The young man sighed.

"Do you mind bleeding?"

He looked at the tavern owner in front of him and apologized: "I haven't killed anyone for a long time, and I want to feel something." The tavern owner glanced at the group of people, his face still respectful: "Please do as you please."

"It's just these few people, it's not really a problem."

It's just a mercenary group, nothing to the people behind the tavern owner.

Likewise, he also wanted to see what the person in front of him could do.

"I can rest assured that."

Katim nodded.

The next moment, the golden sword suddenly came out of its sheath.

puff
The heads of several mercenaries flew out instantly, with looks of shock and confusion on their faces.

They died so quickly that they were killed before they even reacted.

And this is just the beginning.

A horrifying scene began to happen.

In just a few breaths, heads continued to fall.

In the end, the entire mercenary group was wiped out.

Blood splattered everywhere, leaving no one alive and turning half of the tavern red.

In an instant, the entire tavern fell into silence.

Even the tavern owner was stunned.

The mercenary group in front of them was very famous in the local area. Several of the dozen or so people were even knight apprentices, but they were all killed in just a few breaths.

Being able to do all this requires at least the strength of a knight.

"excuse me."

After finishing all this, Katim put away his sword, dropped another gold coin as the cost of the aftermath, and then turned around to leave.

At this time, the entire tavern was still silent.

Everyone stared blankly at Katim's back, not daring to move for fear of being misunderstood as an enemy and then directly chopped down.

The knight in front of me was so murderous. He looked so gentle and polite on the outside, but in the end he killed people without blinking an eye.

However, looking at this scene, some people were still angry and had different thoughts.

For example, the father and daughter just now.

They looked at the corpses on the ground in the tavern, and then at the disappearing figure of Katim in front of them, then gritted their teeth and rushed over again.

"This Lord Knight!"

His father caught up with Katim and then knelt directly on the ground: "We also want to go to Bay City. Do you need a guide?"

"We are willing to pay you a reward that you will definitely be satisfied with."

"You do need to provide me with a reward."

Katim glanced at this person: "It seems that the group of people just went for you."

"That's right."

Father gritted his teeth: "So we should express our gratitude to you."

He no longer hesitated and took out something from his arms.

It was a green gem, about the size of an ordinary person's fingernail, and it looked very beautiful and pure.

He carefully handed the gem to Katim's hand.

Katim did not refuse, with a look of surprise on his face.

"The breath of life energy"

He felt the presence of the emerald and became somewhat interested.

Because this thing seems a little unusual.

Katim tried to infuse life energy into the gem, and soon the gem emitted a faint green radiance.

The material should look special.

The materials used for life rituals should be sufficient.

It just so happened that the materials on Katim also needed to be replenished.

The heart of the corpse beast obtained previously has been almost consumed during this period of time.

Katim is in desperate need of new sources of materials.

This just happened to happen.

"Get up."

He looked at the two people in front of him and said calmly: "Since you want to be my guide, then you can play a role."

"I also need a carriage and driver, I think it won't be a problem for you."

"Also, please tell me your name by the way."

"Yes, my name is James."

Listening to Katim's words, the man in front of him was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted, with a look of ecstasy on his face.

He knew that the safety of his trip this time was completely safe.

James moved quickly.

In just half a day, he got two carriages, as well as several skilled coachmen and guides.

The group of them set off again, heading towards Bay City.

James pulled his daughter into another carriage.

"Father, are we really okay with this?"

The girl looked at James cautiously.

"rest assured."

James said: "The Lord we are following is a true knight. Since he has promised us to follow him, he will definitely protect us."

"Even if those people knew our whereabouts, they would definitely not dare to pursue us again."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud shout of killing coming from outside.
