Fel doesn't lie to you

Chapter 6 Reality
"Have you heard? Everyone in the town west of Stratholme is dead! The mage who investigated said that it might be the remaining cultists and bandits..."

"I heard, I heard that even the lord is dead, and lost his head together with his son."

"Didn't you say that those cultists have been wiped out?"

"Hey, it's not like you don't know, those noble gentlemen from Lordaeron..."

"Talking is talking! What are you talking about!"

A red-haired, well-built tavern waitress suddenly rushed over, put the beer in her hand heavily on the table, and interrupted the behavior of the drunkards who wanted to point out state affairs.

The splash of beer splashed the faces of these people, but they could only laugh at the barmaid, wiping their faces with the rag she slapped on the table.

"Sorry, Jennifer, but you can't waste wine either!"

One of the drunkards regretted seeing that there was only half of the wine left, and opened his mouth somewhat regretfully.

"Ha, take this cup as if I'm asking you to shut up!"

Jennifer glared at him indifferently.

"In short, what should be said and what should not be said, you'd better be clear in your heart! Otherwise, get out of here!"

She is obviously a 16-year-old girl, but the red-haired Jennifer has been working in this tavern for nearly 12 years. She clearly knows that she can't be polite with these alcoholics, and she should be fierce when she should be fierce.

"I know, I know."

Naturally, those who got cheap alcohol would not be rude to the girls they grew up with, and what Jennifer said was right, in this sensitive period, it's better not to talk about these things too much.

Moreover, their town is a meeting place and trade place for several nearby towns, and it is also a supply station on the trade route between Stratholme and King City of Lordaeron. A large number of merchants and soldiers will rest here, so it is really popular If people who shouldn't hear it hear it, it's their own bad luck.

Their lords don't plead with other lords for their debts.

"You better know!"

Jennifer snorted coldly, and after all the drunkards took away the beer, she picked up the tray in disgust, and poured the drink at the door under the pityful eyes of the other drunkards.

But at this moment, a haggard figure just walked in, and was splashed by the residual wine, the already haggard figure became more and more embarrassing.

There was a burst of laughter in the tavern. Jennifer rarely made mistakes.

"Haha! Jennifer! You got into trouble!"

The strong drinkers immediately stopped their conversations, and all smiled and looked at Jennifer, who was watching them grow up. Jennifer's fair cheeks instantly turned red, and she immediately removed a piece from her waist. A clean towel greeted the guests who had been splashed all over by her.

If it's an acquaintance, it's fine to apologize and have some wine to accompany, but the person in front of him is an unfamiliar face.

"I'm sorry, sir! I've been so reckless!"

Jennifer wanted to wipe the guest's body, but was grabbed by the wrist by the guest, and a haggard and weak voice that could be heard also appeared in her ears.

"It's okay, just give me the towel. Also, prepare some food and water for me."

Li Ke looked at this plump girl with a pretty face, but there were not many waves in her heart.Although this girl is very beautiful, unfortunately, she is not as charming as the broth that is being cooked in the other shop.

He's been walking all day, all day, without a moment's rest.Keeping away from that town, that demon, now finally arrived at a town, he just wants to eat something, and then take a quick rest.

His pale and weak face startled Jennifer, and she glanced at Li Ke with some fear, because Li Ke's current state was really scary.

Dry lips, bloodshot eyes, everything shows that this person is in a state of extreme depression.

"Yes, yes! Sir! I'll go!"

She immediately turned around to prepare, and the drinkers who watched her grow up, seeing that Li Ke didn't intend to find fault, laughed and continued to joke.

"Haha! Jennifer, you should give her some discounts!"

"Good job! Boy! Men should be more open-minded! I offer you a toast! Ah, Jennifer! Can this be free for me!"

Jennifer's face became even redder. She quickly poured a bowl of thick broth from the large pot on one side, took a piece of bread, and cursed back while receiving the water.

"You are dreaming!"

She quickly brought the things in front of Li Ke, and Li Ke also sat down on his seat trembling, and took a sip of water without saying a word.

The sweet water moistened his throat and made him feel alive again. The delicious stewed meat and warm baked bread made him forget the rice and steamed buns in his hometown, and he ate them without saying a word.

The sweetness, the smell of meat, the taste of delicious fat, and the feeling that the body is gradually being filled made Li Ke's eyes gradually blurred.

Until now, he was able to determine one thing.

I really survived.

Mechanically and awkwardly eating the food in front of him, his hasty appearance obviously scared the waitress at the side. The red-haired girl looked at him devouring him, and subconsciously hugged the tray to her chest, a little scared He looked at the handsome young man with black hair in front of him.

"I was taken aback just now...it looks pretty good now."

This idea appeared in her mind, but she was immediately called aside by the drinker's greeting, and continued her work without looking at Li Ke again.

Li Ke quickly finished the meal. He licked the remaining juice at the corner of his mouth, sighed with satisfaction, and then touched his pocket, ready to pay the bill.

However, his hands didn't touch the wages he earned in the blacksmith shop. He frowned, and immediately thought that when he was arrested, all the money on him would be taken away.

After hesitating for a moment, his hand reached into the pocket on his back.

But the next moment, his hand was withdrawn like an electric shock, making him look at the pocket in front of him with a livid face.

Because he touched a string of necklaces, a string of necklaces belonging to the bakery proprietress.

He felt that his hand was burned, but the fact was that there was no scar on his hand, it was just his psychology.

"..."

Li Ke sighed deeply, and didn't touch the package again. Instead, when Jennifer passed by him with a plate, he grabbed the waitress' arm and spoke under the suspicious eyes of the other party.

"how much is it?"
