SWNOVELXO Chapter 142: Chapter 30
"Okay, we're here. This is our destination this time." Maria took Bianka for a walk, turned left and right, and came to a tavern, then stopped and introduced it with a smile.
"Yeah." Bianka nodded gently. Although she had never been to the tavern in person, she was very clear about the situation in the tavern. After all, it had the dual blessing of the plot and Sakura's intelligence.
"Bianka's reaction was so cold. Aren't you curious why I brought you to the tavern to meet people? I remember you don't seem to be an adult yet." Looking at Bianka with a calm face, Maria puffed her cheeks lightly and said coquettishly.
"Curious, but I believe Maria will not lie to me or hurt me." After listening to Maria's words, Bianka smiled lightly, then patted her shoulder and replied.
Let's not talk about whether there is anything in this city that can threaten her, and she is not the kind of person who is unwilling to give trust to friends. Since Durandal has chosen to be friends with Maria, she will choose to trust her regardless of whether she knows the plot or not.
"Um... cough, stop standing at the door, let's go in."
After hearing Bianka's words of trust, Maria's face turned red again. After coughing twice, she quickly turned around and led the way stiffly.
"..."
Looking at Maria's stiff figure in front of her, a trace of doubt flashed quickly in Bianka's blue eyes.
Obviously, she couldn't quite understand her friend's current state at this moment... Why was she suddenly shy again? What did she just say?
However, no matter how confused Durandal was, no one could answer her at this moment.
After staying there for a few seconds, Bianka quickly gave up thinking about this problem and took a step to chase the Kuranta quickly.
...
In the tavern——
"Hey, a rare guest recently."
Marcin standing in front of the bar couldn't help but sigh when he saw Maria who pushed the door and entered the tavern first.
You know, it has been many days since he last saw this little girl in the tavern.
"Uncle Marcin, long time no see!"
After hearing the sigh of Marcin, Maria smiled guiltily at first, and then stretched out her hand to say hello.
"Huh? Maria, you little girl only say hello to old Marcin?" After noticing the interaction between the two, Vogelweide sitting at the wine table not far away was not happy.
"Hey, no, no, it's not too late. Hello, Uncle Vog and Master Koval!" After hearing the words of Vogelweide, Maria quickly turned her head to look, and then smiled and greeted them. "Oh, by the way... I brought a friend here today."
"Squeak--"
As Maria finished speaking, the door of the tavern was pushed open, and Bianka, who had just fallen behind, also came into the tavern.
After seeing the person clearly, Bald Marcin was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and said with a smile:
"Welcome, welcome. This guest has become quite famous recently. Would you like to drink something? Since you are Maria's friend, I can give you a discount."
"Huh? You are treating old Marcin differently. I have been drinking here for such a long time, and you have never given me a discount."
Before Bianka could say anything, Vogelweide snorted and said unconvincedly.
"Can it be the same?"
After listening to Vogelweide's words, Bald Marcin responded indifferently.
"Okay, okay, Uncle Marcin and Uncle Fu, stop arguing. Bianka can't drink yet, I just brought her here for you to get to know her."
Looking at the two people bickering, Maria's golden eyes flashed with helplessness. To be honest, she was used to their daily bickering.
Although the three guys in front of them usually didn't give in to each other, their relationship was actually very good and deep.
"You can't drink yet?"
This time, the key point was grasped by the old blacksmith Koval who sat aside and didn't join the bickering.
After noticing the surprise on her master's face, Maria's golden eyes flashed with a smile, and then she explained slowly:
"Master Koval, are you shocked? I was the same when I first met Bianka. I thought she was the same age as her sister, but who knew she was only 16 years old this year."
As soon as Maria said this, the three old men in the huge tavern fell into silence.
"Okay, Bianka, don't stand there. Let me introduce you." Maria didn't look at the people who were shocked by her words. Instead, she turned around and took Bianka's hand.
After pulling her forward a few steps, she introduced: "This is Master Koval. You have met him before, Bianka. And this Uncle Marcin is the owner of this tavern. Although I haven't drunk it, I heard from others that the drinks he mixes are delicious."
"And the last one is Uncle Vogelweide . He used to be a very powerful knight."
"Nice to meet you. I am Maria's friend. You can call me Bianka." Hearing this, Bianka nodded gently, then looked at the three people introduced by Maria in front of her and said politely. "Hello, Maria has been bothering you recently."
"Yes, yes, hello, young people nowadays are getting more and more powerful."
...
After a brief exchange of acquaintances, Maria took Bianka to order two non-alcoholic drinks, and then sat down.
After sitting down, the Kuranta quickly leaned over to the goose's ear and whispered in it.
"If you need anything in the future, you can come to them for help. Although they seem to have a bad temper, they are actually very good people."
"Yeah."
After hearing Maria's whispered words, Bianka's blue eyes flashed with a trace of helplessness, and then nodded gently.
Maria's meaning was naturally clear to the goose. Although she might not use these "connections" at all, she still appreciated the kindness.
No, it may not be completely useless... Bianka's eyes flashed slightly when she suddenly remembered something.
She planned to ask the old blacksmith Koval later if he would still accept the work of forging armor. She was so obsessed with training these days that she almost forgot about it.
Although Margaret's armor was still suitable, now that she had time and money, there was no need to "occupy" her sister's armor all the time.
