Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 930: The Earl Goes South (3)

Lick was silent.

Reggie took a sip of ale and spat it out of his mouth, "You'd better let me talk, Farez, or this idiot won't get it." Reggie glared at Lick and said, "It's because of you, you drunkard." We all told you to give up this undesirable hobby, even if you can't give up and restrain yourself. It's good that you didn't drink too much and crippled the son of the deputy commander of the Underworld King Mercenary Corps. Don't you know that the Underworld King is one of the three great mercenary groups in Sardinia, and we, Bing Yue, can afford to offend him? "

'"In order to settle this matter for you, Fares used up all the love he had accumulated over the years, and even lost a lot of money to let others not pursue him. As for you, you were still asleep when Fares ran for you!"

Fares waved his hand, signaling Reggie to stop talking. He said to Lick, "Anyway, the three of us built the Frozen Moon one hand and one leg at a time." You are all my best brothers. Not to mention just using some affection and money, even if I compensate the entire mercenary corps, I will not let any of you get into trouble. However, after that incident, we won't be able to survive in Sardinia. The Underworld King said on the surface that he would not pursue this matter, but he offended them. How could business fall on us? But the tree is moved to death, and the man is moved to life. Sardinia can't survive. Let's just go somewhere else. "

The Guild Leader smiled and said, "And this is an opportunity. The son of Hoey of Iron Spear Ridge is getting married." We were lucky enough to hunt in the darkness that it was not ice fangs that did not appear in late winter. It was half-sold and half-delivered to Marquis Hoey as a gift for his son's wedding. "We should also take this opportunity to establish a good relationship with this marquis, so that we can take root and develop in Iron Spear Ridge."

Fares patted his chest and said, "I don't dare say anything else. There really aren't many mercenary groups in Iron Spear Ridge that can compare to our Frozen Moon. Brothers, this is how life goes. It doesn't matter if we fall, the most important thing is to have the courage to get up again. With the two of you here, our Frozen Moon Mercenary Group will have a chance to rise again."

Lick suddenly roared and drank the rest of the wine. His eyes were red as he said, "I'll touch another drop of wine in the future. Farez, you'll cut off my head. Reggie is the witness."

Reggie narrowed his eyes and said, "Very well, if Fares doesn't want to do it, I'll be happy to do it for him."

Lick laughed and pointed at him, "I'm waiting for you, but I'm afraid you won't have the chance."

Fares smiled and shook his head. He knew that Reggie was cold outside and hot inside. His mouth was a little poisonous, but his kindness towards Lick wasn't any less than his own. However, with today's conversation, it was a good thing for Lick and the mercenary group. His heart relaxed, and he drank too much wine. After a few cups, Fares' eyes were already drifting. 'Take him back to his room,' said Raj, putting down the wine. 'I'll go to the yard and take a look.'

Lick obeyed and walked towards the gate with Fares on his back. At this moment, the door opened and a chill poured in, causing the temperature in the bar to drop by a few degrees. Outside the door came a man wearing a snow-covered robe. He took off a felt hat stained with snow, revealing his skinny and experienced face. It turned out to be an old man, but he didn't give off the feeling of being old. Even though he was old, his waist was still straight and his popularity exploded like a sharp spear.

Lick took two steps back to make way for the old man. It wasn't until the old man walked past with a chill in his body that the burly man regained his senses and couldn't figure out why he had taken the initiative to make way for an old man. At this time, Rui Jie patted him and whispered, "Unlike ordinary people, don't pay too much attention. Leave this place first."

After the three of them left, the old man walked straight to the bar and smiled at the bartender, "Give me a glass of strong wine to warm up."

The bartender, on the other hand, was a snob. Seeing that the old man's overcoat was just an ordinary material, he didn't even have a fur collar on his entire body in such a cold day. "Old man," he said coldly, "the wine here is not cheap. Especially if you want strong wine, the worst fire will cost you a silver coin."

The old man chuckled. He reached under his clothes and took out an inconspicuous money bag. He carefully poured out a silver coin and handed it over. The bartender snorted and was about to reach out to pick it up when someone shouted, "Give this gentleman the best wine. I'll pay for it."

However, it was the red-clothed man sitting in the corner. He raised his glass to the old man and said, "Since you've come, let's sit down and have a drink together."

The old man was not polite either. He withdrew the silver coins he was about to hand over and walked towards the table. "How dare you? It's a guest from afar. It was originally my treat."

"It doesn't matter. It's just a glass of wine. I can afford it." The red-clothed man said indifferently. He patted his female companion's hand. The woman hesitated for a moment. The man smiled and said, "If this gentleman wants to do something to me, even ten You Lotuses won't be able to stop him. Go find the steel cannon. You two stay in the hotel for me."

The woman nodded.

The old man picked up his chair and sat down. The bartender brought him a glass of strong liquor. The old man took a sip and said, "The weather is the coldest at the end of winter. Walking outside is like freezing blood."

"If that's the case, why don't you stay at home and have a good time?"

"I also want to, but sometimes I can't help but feel like it." The old man laughed.

The red-clothed man shook his head and did not say anything.

The old man took another sip and put down his glass. "For the sake of buying me a drink, you can go. It's not hard for you to go south by road from Tiger Shark Harbor on a cold day."

"In order to avenge your son, what's so hard about it? I heard that your son is getting married, so there's no need to rush here. I'm not going to Iron Spear Ridge."

The old man shook his head and pointed at the man with a smile, "Alright, Eric, you are the famous Bloody Earl. There is no reason for me to watch you wander around the South without moving." I know what you're going to do. You're going to kill someone in the Bauhinia collar. "That won't do, especially since that person will escort Miss Jorah to my Iron Spear Ridge. He will be an important guest of mine, and I can't let you attack him no matter what."

"Oh?" The man said indifferently, "That means that your iron spear, Hoey, is going to stop me here? Eh, why didn't you bring your iron spear with you?"

The old man shrugged his shoulders. "At my age, it's too ugly to carry a gun and a knife. Besides, it doesn't matter to me whether I have a gun or not. What, do you think I can't stop you without a gun?"

"Eric, do you want to try it now?"

The man's eyes narrowed, and a misty aura of blood surged out from the corner of his eyes. Even the air around the two of them suddenly had a strange smell. "It's none of your business," he said calmly. "Why should you interfere?"

"I've heard about your son, Eric, don't think I don't know what you've done in the South. To kidnap the princess of the Naga Clan, he was quite bold. Even with the support of the Sword Lord, did Mason really think that he could cover the sky with one hand? There were four dukes in the empire, and he was not the only Grand Duke. This matter has already alerted the imperial capital, I believe you also know. However, the imperial capital didn't want to make a big deal out of this, and it took all of its effort to appease the Naga Clan's Highness. "If you insist on avenging Carlo now, if you provoke His Highness, I'm afraid the Lord Sword Lord behind you will not wipe your butt for you."

The man narrowed his eyes and said, "So what you mean, Hoey, is that you won't get revenge for killing your son? If your Orlando was killed, you, Hoey, would be able to swallow it?"

"Even if I can't swallow it, I have to swallow it." The old man flicked the table and said, "It's fine if you say you're tyrannical. Anyway, since I hit you, you have to obediently return to Tiger Shark Harbor."

The man smiled instead of being angry, "If this isn't tyrannical, what should we do? Hoey, Hoey, that brat really has to thank you. Alright, I'll go back now. But in the future, it's best that your Iron Spear Ridge merchant ship doesn't pass through Tiger Shark Harbor. If anything happens, don't say that I didn't inform you in advance."

After bidding for the wine, the man stood up and left the bar gracefully.

The old man wasn't in a hurry to leave either. He leisurely drank all the wine in his glass before spitting out a breath of wine, "The kid's breath isn't small now. Hmm, maybe I'm really old?"

He put down his glass and put on the felt hat again before walking out of the bar.

When Fares woke up, Reggie told him that Ed and the others had left. He didn't explain the reason, but he didn't ask Bing Yue to return the commission and left in a hurry. Fares thought it was strange and casually said, "Strange." Reggie thought for a moment and said, "There was an old man who chatted with them at the bar. Not long after, Ed and the others did not leave. I also saw the old man riding his horse behind their carriage and leaving town together."

"Old man? What old man?"

Raj shook his head, "I don't know him, but I feel that he's not ordinary." Then, he gave a general description of the old man's appearance.

Fares widened his eyes and jumped up, "That's Hoey, Hoey the Iron Spear!"

"Really? Why did the old marquis come to Jing Tie Town alone? Just to see Ed?"

Fares shook his head and said, "I don't know, but judging from your description, it should be Hoey." Although I have never seen him in person, I have seen his portrait once. It is about seventy to eighty percent similar to the appearance and temperament you described. There shouldn't be anything wrong with it. Well, you should remind me that we missed out on the old marquis just like that. "That's why it's said that drinking is a mistake. Otherwise, if we're all on friendly terms with the Marquis now, then Bing Yue won't have to worry about developing in the Iron Spear Ridge."

"There's always a chance," Raj comforted.

"I hope so." Fares smiled bitterly.

On this day, Eric, who was secretly heading south, was almost forcibly sent back by Hoey. On the same evening, Alan arrived at Dawn Castle. He didn't know that Huo Yi had quietly resolved a big problem for him.

Although only temporarily.
