Chapter 02 Arthur's Return
Nightingale Bar.
The aroma of barbecue, the mellow aroma of ale and the hustle of mercenaries filled the bar. Years have passed, but the bar has not changed in any way.
The bar owner Nightingale lay on the bar counter, squinting her eyes and drowsy. The bar service was taken care of by waiters and bar girls, and she didn't need Nightingale to take care of her. She was here every night because she liked the atmosphere here. Looking at the mercenaries who drank and bragged loudly, she felt that her youth was still there, and she was still the beautiful mercenary who attracted countless men to pursue.
"Aunt Nightingale!" A familiar voice rang in front of the bar.
Nightingale opened her sleepy eyes and stood in front of her a young man with dark hair and a smile on her face. She seemed to have never seen this person before.
"Auntie, don't you remember me?"
Nightingale rubbed her eyes hard, her black hair, a beautiful smile, and a heroic and hard face, and then suddenly grabbed the man's arms from behind the bar, "Are you little Arthur?"
Arthur nodded vigorously, and his eyes were moist without saying a word.
"Let the aunt see you well. Little Arthur has grown up so old and is already a big man!" Nightingale habitually pinched Arthur's cheek with one hand.
Arthur blushed a little, but still did not stop Aunt Nightingale from being intimate as if she was treating her children.
At this moment, a bad laugh came from behind Arthur.
Nightingale then realized that there were other people behind Arthur, and she felt embarrassed to take her hand off Arthur's face. The little boy back then was now an adult man.
"You've brought your friends here? Let your friends sit down and try the aunt's barbecue."
Of course, Arthur did not come back by himself. Behind him were Joan, Huey, Alia, Spence, the Ten Princess, the Elf Ellandi and the Dwarf Torun, and under Arthur's cloak there was still an ice fairy Gru who could not show up, except for Sino.
After the Battle of Wuling Mountain, with the destruction of the "God Condemnation", all clues were cut off. Arthur and his men who had nowhere to go for the time being returned to the dwarf kingdom.
Shino left the first time after living in the Dwarf Kingdom for a short time. After all, he was a family man, saying that he would go back and take a look at Gloria and the children, and then prepare to take a casual walk on the mainland. Because the senior officials of all races could feel that this matter would never end because of the destruction of the "God condemnation". There must be some conspiracy hidden behind this.
Headed by "Star and Moon Guardian", all races did not give up their follow-up investigation of this matter, and Xino himself was also interested in this matter. He was not for the sake of the human race, but simply regarded this matter as a way to hone himself over the peak of warriors.
Arthur originally planned to leave after breaking through the battle school in the Dwarf Kingdom, but after only half a year of practice, he encountered a bottleneck with Qiong.
Although the difficulty of crossing from the Warrior to the War School is not as difficult as that of the War General Tian Pass, it also blocks more than 90% of the warriors. What needs to pass this level is not only the improvement and control of the total amount of Dou Qi, but also the understanding of the warrior's realm and the transformation of Dou Qi.
The reason why Huey was the first to enter the battle school among several people was not only the effect of the two temple secret medicines at that time, but also the tempering of life and death battles again and again in the undead highlands. The tempering between life and death is the fastest way to cross the realm.
Arthur's own Dou Qi technique is incomplete, and it is even more difficult to try to cross the realm by simply accumulating Dou Qi. Therefore, he left the dwarf kingdom in advance regardless of the risks.
In addition to the reason why Arthur left the kingdom early, he also couldn't let go of his doubts and obsessions. The secret that the "God condemned" leader's body seemed to be the same person as the recipient of the Sauron Canyon back then. He didn't tell anyone that this was too incredible and he could not confirm it himself.
In addition, Arthur also has a clue, which is the small star wood box that was equipped with a pendant. Keynes gave it to a little girl from the Mercenary Union. If the box could be retrieved, he might be able to find the clues of the client.
It was this series of reasons that led to Arthur returning to Huaores City eight years later.
After Aunt Nightingale arranged seats and wine for Joan and Huey, she pulled Arthur to her side again to look carefully, sighing: "I really grew up and have made so many friends."
When Nightingale arranged for Qiong and the others, she naturally saw the clergyman, dwarf and elves in the team. Although she could not see the level, such a team was definitely not something that ordinary people could form.
"Aunt, are you doing well over the years? Is there any news that Tony or others are still alive later?" This is what Arthur is most concerned about.
Nightingale shook her head and sighed, "What a good boy, I still think of them. Since you left, the place has been completely abandoned. It was not until recently that it was bought by a merchant from a royal city. Even if you want to go back and see it, you can't see anything."
"It's okay, I'll restore it to the original place."
Nightingale looked at Arthur incredibly, "Did you buy that big mansion in South City?"
Arthur nodded with a smirk.
"Didn't you just take the way this time and come and see the aunt and leave?"
"No, I want to rebuild the Blue Ape Mercenary Group. I don't plan to leave when I come back this time."
Nightingale was stunned, then shook her head repeatedly, "No, child, don't think that things will pass after so long. Those killers have extraordinary origins and will not let you go. You can have a meal with your aunt and leave quickly with your friends."
Arthur smiled, "No need to let me go, I've solved them all."
"What did you say?"
"I said I've killed all those killers, and I've also killed them into their headquarters and destroyed their entire organization."
"Don't joke with the aunt." Nightingale was still disbelief.
"Auntie, please bring me a portion of the barbecue and golden rum in the store. I have been out for many years and I want to die of these things. I will tell you in detail while eating."
"I was just trying to greet others, but I forgot you." Nightingale smiled and went to get Arthur food.
Arthur swallowed a large piece of barbecue and wiped out half of it, and then he started telling Aunt Nightingale about her experiences over the years.
Even though Arthur had tried his best to pick up the most important thing, because his experience was too magical, Aunt Nightingale was heartbroken and cried and laughed. She not only sighed repeatedly: "You have suffered so much outside these years."
When Nightingale listened to Arthur's remarks, she didn't notice at all. Today there were particularly many mercenaries coming in from the bar and soon there was no seat.
When the nightingale looked up by chance, she suddenly found that the lobby was almost full of mercenaries, and said strangely: "Why are so many people running towards me today?"
Arthur wiped the oil from his mouth and laughed, "I'm not as easy to talk to Captain Keynes back then. Since my Blue Evil has been rebuilt, I will officially tell the rules of the future to other mercenaries in the city."
