Civilization Guardian Front

Chapter 910 Seven? Broker

The small chaos caused by the reckless waitress breaking into the kitchen caused a slight delay in the progress of serving food in the tavern.

Fortunately, there was no impact on the supply of alcoholic beverages. After Chios bought everyone a glass of beer, the slight complaints disappeared.

so easy to deal with...

Chios held the base of the wine glass, gently shook the dark red wine in it, and watched the bustling scene in the store.

In the Shirley Tavern, official volunteers can buy a glass of beer for 3 copper coins. Even if the whole store is full, a treat is only a small matter of a few silver coins.

"Although contentment is a virtue..."

Tilt the wine glass to drink the wine that has not been fully awakened, the fruit aroma is restrained, the acidity is concentrated, and the wine has a green flavor.

"But there is not a single negative example, which is disturbing."

After speaking in a low voice, Chios handed the empty cup to the right.

Sharon picked up the wine bottle and poured wine for the young man.

"Are you trying to bully someone again?"

"If there is an opportunity, of course I will not let it go." Chios did not deny it.

"Stamping people down is the fastest and most effective way to establish prestige."

"Unfortunately, you still have to take your image into account, and you can't take the initiative to create trouble."

"You sure understand me..."

Chios glanced across the tables in the tavern hall.

People who met his gaze were either nervous or awkward, or raised their glasses in a friendly way.

Only no one dared to make a bad face.

"It seems that most of the people here are very sensible and know that they should not be rash and cause trouble. Although it is a pity, I will give up the idea of ​​​​finding a face to wipe my boots."

"Hehe, if they hear of your kindness, they will be very grateful."

Ding!

Sharon picked up the wine glass and touched Chios.

After taking a small sip, her pale cherry lips were stained with a layer of moist red by the wine, which looked very attractive under the light.

"What is Master Chios planning to do next? Do you want to talk to someone?"

"That's right..."

Chios mused.

By confirming with the director of the Chiyue Office when the latest volunteer soldiers joined, and comparing the relevant information studied before the mission, they have a basis for judging the composition and current situation of the Border Volunteer Corps.

The problem right now is that Chios and Sharon know many volunteer soldiers who have become famous or will become famous in the future, but the other party does not know them.

Even if the news of the competitive event spreads, the lack of intersection between the two sides will not change.

Intelligence is a tool to facilitate the deployment of plans, but in order to implement them, it is still necessary to create opportunities.

"A more natural way, one is to actively socialize in the tavern, build friendship with as many people as possible, and thus get closer to a specific target. The other is to help people on the battlefield and cooperate with each other to form A revolutionary sentiment of sharing weal and woe."

"The latter case requires a long-term plan..."

"Well, it's enough to focus on the former for now. Having said that, it would be embarrassing for us to come forward on our own, and it would be out of style, so we have to find a middleman who is all-round."

"Have you found a suitable broker yet?"

"yes."

Chios nodded.

His gaze was fixed on a tall, thin young man with a somewhat frivolous temperament holding a pottery beer can, wandering among different tables, chatting happily with many volunteer soldiers.

Chios knew this kind of person.

For them, they will never refuse the opportunity to make more friends and expand their network.

Who knows when friendship will come in handy?

So Chios waited patiently.

When the frivolous man turned his head and walked towards the center of the hall, and met his eyes, Chios raised his goblet and made a gesture of greeting, showing his kindness.

The other party was taken aback for a moment, but soon showed a cheerful smile, and quickened his pace to come to the table of the two.

"Yo!"

The frivolous man raised his hand in greeting.

He strode across the empty bench on the left of Chios, and made a short gesture to sit down, before adding a sentence belatedly:

"Can I sit here?"

Chios naturally would not refuse.

"No problem, please sit down."

"Yeah!" the frivolous man cheered.

Gulp gurgl...hoo ha!

He downed the whole jug of beer in one gulp, making a happy sound.

"I'll be able to brag to others in the future that I once drank at the same table with Silver Volunteers!"

"It shouldn't be a problem for you at all, right?"

"No, no, no!" The frivolous man waved his hands exaggeratedly.

"If you don't count our captain, this is really the first time drinking with a silver-ranked colleague, let alone two people..."

Having said that, he picked up the clay jug and poured wine into his mouth, only to find that only a few drops of beer fell on his tongue, and he quickly turned his head to add some to the tavern maid passing by:

"Give me another cold beer."

"If you don't mind, please accompany the young master to drink some red wine first."

Xue Lun got up and poured almost half a bottle of Syrpan red wine into the empty clay pot in the opponent's hand.

"Ah... thank you so much."

"Where." Chios raised his glass and touched the opponent's clay pot lightly.

Lifting his head and gulping down the wine, he put the empty glass on the table.

"Suddenly remembered that we haven't introduced ourselves yet. I'm Chios, and this one is Sharon..."

"Nice to meet you."

Sharon nodded with a smile.

"My name is Kikawa, nice to meet you." The frivolous man replied.

He took out three copper coins and handed them to the returning maid, and took a full glass of new beer.

"I've heard of your names! They are the two finalists in the Capital Competition, right?"

Since Kikawa did not lower his voice like Chios and Sharon, almost everyone in the entire tavern hall heard the words and turned their heads to look this way.

very good...

This is one of the purposes of Chios looking for the other party.

A character like this with a wide range of contacts and many sources of information will basically never miss any topical news.

It can be called a free publicity channel.

The sudden suddenness of everyone in the hall aroused the curiosity of the customers upstairs.

The mentality of joining in the fun made them gather around the guardrail one after another, asking what happened to the left and right.

After learning of the situation, all of them were shocked.

Like a domino effect, the noisy pub instantly became surprisingly quiet.

Everyone is waiting for Chios to speak.

And Chios also seized the timing and nodded to confirm Kikawa's words:

"Indeed, we participated in this year's Capital Competition and were lucky enough to win a relatively high ranking."

Wow! ! ! !

The atmosphere in the tavern suddenly boiled.

It turned out that these two silver-level volunteers who had never seen before were the champion and runner-up of this competition.

"Hahahaha! So not only did I drink with my silver-level colleagues, but I also clinked glasses with the champion of the competition. I am so lucky! Lucky!"

Kikawa put one hand on his hips, gestured proudly with the other hand, and shouted sentences that the locals could not understand.

Immediately, he couldn't help being curious, and asked Chios and Sharon:

"Hey! Why did you come all the way to Oludana City?"

Just waiting for you to ask...

Thinking this way in his heart, Chios pretended to be thinking on the surface.

"It doesn't hurt to say it..."

"Recently, we have established a battle group, intending to recruit more capable and potential volunteers to join, and the quality of the Oludana volunteers is top-notch in the entire Mediterranean, so we decided to come here to find like-minded volunteers. companion."

Chapter 910: Take the next step

Orudana West City, volunteer dormitory.

Ha...sneez!

Haruhiro, who came downstairs to the courtyard in thin clothes, couldn't help sneezing due to the cool wind blowing in his face.

He quickly bowed his body and crossed his arms, rubbing his skin with goose bumps.

It's summer, but it's actually cold...

Haruhiro thought with half complaint and half emotion.

In fact, he also understands that in a city sandwiched between two mountains, it is normal for the temperature difference between day and night to be large due to the humid and cold air converging into the valley at night.Moreover, although the temperature in Oludana City dropped at night in summer, it was far from cold enough to be called cold.

The main reason is that I wear too little...

If you add one more, or wear slightly thicker clothes, you will definitely not feel this way.

Such a small matter that can be solved easily becomes a big problem for Haruhiro.

After all, he has no money.

It's not that I'm so poor that I don't even have the money to buy cheap second-hand clothes, but my income can barely cover my expenses, and I have to spend less money on hand. Now, in order to save more living expenses, haha Ershilo really doesn't have the leeway to invest money in improving the quality of life.

Sitting curled up on the old bench in the simple yard, he turned his head sideways, and looked at the tower standing alone on the hill not far from the city with eyes that were said to look like he had not slept enough for a few days.

It has been three weeks since I woke up from that tower, came to this place, and became a trainee volunteer soldier.

During the same period, the other six people seemed to be doing well, and gradually became famous in the circle of volunteers...

On the other hand, on my own side, I still can only find enemies who are alone, and occasionally get escaped by monsters because of being in a hurry, and most of the time, I can't find a suitable target after a whole day, and finally return without success.

There is no fixed salary for the profession of volunteer soldier, and the source of income mainly comes from the spoils obtained from killing monsters and entrustment rewards.

It cannot be said that my team has gained nothing in the past 20 days, but after deducting the daily needs, the remaining income is still pitifully small.

Because I don't know whether I can still make money the next day, even if there is a harvest, I will try my best to save the money for a rainy day.

To live is to be able to live.

However, it is easy to feel exhausted if there is no end to the life of living a life that is barely enough to buy cheap clothes.

Is it really okay to go on like this?

In the dead of night, this question occasionally pops up in my mind.

So tonight, Haruhiro couldn't sleep.

"Ugh..."
