Chapter 20: Relationships are really useful.
Hardy vomited in the corner for at least half an hour, and then staggered away.
Although Virginia and the dozen nobles laughed loudly, they were not malicious, just full of ridicule.
Because they really believe that eating mummies is good for the body, and they can replenish whatever they eat.
Especially the mummies of Pharaohs are more effective.
This is a traditional and precious delicacy of Aolo, which even poor people cannot afford.
Originally, Hardy felt much better after vomiting for more than ten minutes.
As a result, Virginia very thoughtfully brought two mummy 'lychees' on a plate.
Looking at the two dark dried flat beans on the plate and thinking of the origin of these things, he suddenly vomited even more fiercely.
Afterwards, Virginia laughed and arranged for Hardy to be sent out of the castle.
He was helped onto the carriage by Link again and set off home.
The carriage swayed, and although Hardy wanted to vomit even more, his expression also turned cold.
Just now, while Virginia was giving him lychees, she whispered in his ear: "When I met the king in the royal city a while ago, an 'anonymous' person told me that he wanted to buy your life, but I didn't Agree. Moreover, a group of outsiders have recently come to our Hexi County. It’s hard for me to investigate, so you should be careful."
Is it really the royal family?
Hardy chuckled inwardly.
Although Virginia said it was difficult for him to investigate, she actually told Hardy everything.
Sure enough, the art of speaking among smart people is different.
Next, Hardy only needs to investigate the team that entered River City from the outside in the past two or three days, and he can easily find 'that group of people'.
Back home, Hardy lay on the bed for a long time before he recovered.
Lilian tenderly served him to take a bath, change clothes, and then warm the bed to sleep.
Now he is a baron. Although he is the lowest noble, he is still a noble.
He wanted to find someone to share this happy event with, but the thought came and went and he could only sigh.
My two "little boys" have already gone out to practice.
His own woman, Sophie, ran away to the devil world again.
It's hard to find someone to talk to and relieve your boredom.
After letting out a long sigh, he closed his eyes and rested.
The next day, he did not practice swordsmanship. Instead, he went to the city alone, found a tavern, and opened the door.
Because it was morning, there were no customers in the tavern, and there was only a bartender cleaning the place.
The air in the tavern was filled with a strong smell of alcohol.
Seeing Hardy, the young bartender was a little surprised: "Oh, let me see, who is this? Crybaby~~ Hardy!"
Hardy approached with a smile, gave the other party a hug, and said: "Long time no see, braggadocious Tumpson."
This action confused the other party. After a while, Tumpson exclaimed: "It's only been half a year since I last saw you, and you have changed so much. If I had said this in the past , You have looked at me with evil eyes for a long time."
Hardy moved a chair over, sat down and said with a smile: "I didn't know much before, but now many things suddenly become clear to me."
Tump Sen looked very ordinary. He looked at Hardy quietly for a while, took a wine glass from the side, filled the glass, and put it in front of Hardy: "I'm sorry, I did something wrong before."
Hardy drank the wine in one sip and returned it. He raised his head and signaled: "It's all gone."
The two were silent for a while, and then laughed at the same time.
Thompson wiped the tears from his eyes and said, "If you had this kind of character before, we would have been good friends long ago." "
It's not too late now."
"That's right." Thompson patted Hardy hard twice. He put his shoulder on his shoulder and said, "It must have been very hard recently. Not only do you have to deal with your father's affairs, but you also have to be wary of enemies from unknown sources."
"You know?" Hardy was a little curious.
"Don't even think about what we do." Hardy smiled. He certainly knew what the main business direction of this pub was.
People who work in intelligence occasionally take on assassination jobs.
The reason why he was able to establish a good relationship with the people in this tavern was mainly due to his father.
Old Hardy had a good relationship with the owner of this tavern, who was Dompson's father, so he asked the ten-year-old Hardy to come here and accept Old Dompson as a teacher, and paid a high fee to learn writing!
That's right, learning words from a tipster.
Old Hardy's reason was simple. In this way, he could have a close relationship with an intelligence expert, so why not do it.
Then Hardy became involved with the Tompsons.
It's just that Hardy was not very sensible at the time. Although he learned how to write, his relationship with the Tompson family was not close.
Especially with little Tompson, the relationship is very bad.
As soon as the two sides met, they started to ridicule each other.
Hardy looked outside the tavern. No one came in yet, so he asked: "So, do you know who my enemy is?" "I'm
not sure exactly." Little Tompson crossed his arms and said, "But It should be someone from the Royal City. Of course, this is just my father's speculation. So, you came here this time to investigate this matter?"
Hardy took a bag from his waist and put it on the table: "I know Teacher According to the rules, this is the full price."
Little Tompson picked up the bag, weighed it, and listened to the sound of metal banging inside, and smiled: "The portion is very large, what do you want to check?" "
In the past three days, from Among the groups coming to Hexi County from outside, which one will be detrimental to me!"
Little Tompson closed his eyes slightly, and then said: "We will take this matter."
"Thank you."
"You are welcome." Little Tompson did not He patted Hardy's shoulder twice angrily: "You've given me so much money. If it weren't for the rules in our industry, I would actually give you a free bill." "
That's not necessary..."
The two chatted. After a while, Hardy left.
He still had a lot to do, and now every minute had to count.
Because as long as he exercises, he is getting stronger every minute and every second.
The talent of this body is very good, far beyond what the previous 'game character' can match.
He returned to the manor and began to practice swordsmanship again. In the afternoon, he learned magic. Then in the evening, a guest came to the house.
The other party said he was delivering a gift for someone else, handed over a box and left.
Hardy opened the box and inside was a piece of paper with the names of nine people and their current addresses written on it.
"The tavern's work efficiency is really high." Hardy snapped his fingers, and the magic flame instantly burned and engulfed the paper. Then he said to Lillian next to him: "Have someone prepare hot water. I want to take a bath."
Lillian nodded . out.
In the bathroom, Lilian helped Hardy scrub his body. There was a hint of spring in her eyes: "Master's body is getting stronger and stronger." Her
slender fingers brushed over Hardy's muscles.
She remembered that the owner from more than a month ago did not have such an angular physique.
Hardy smiled and said, "You can't train in vain."
"Master, are you going to kill someone?" Lilian's brown eyes were full of expectation and curiosity.
"You can actually see it!"
Lilian laughed: "After all, I have served you for several years."
"You are so smart, I have to reward you." Hardy pinched her cheek: "On the bed, wait I'll come back."
"As you wish, my master."
Lilian's eyes were as bright as the sun.
