Black Iron Crown

The street market in Mecaron City is bustling with people. Although it is not crowded like shoulder to shoulder, it is still full of people's voices.

Although some merchants from other places left due to the war and the business was slightly depressed, some factories supported by local merchants were still able to maintain the lives of the citizens.

And they have financial resources, so some other service industries will not go bankrupt because they have no business to do.

Reiner walked on the street unhurriedly, with only two people beside him, Sarang and Lumbare, wearing inconspicuous uniforms, looking at the worried and hurried pedestrians.

He found a large building in front of him, with a picture of a full glass of beer hanging on it, and then it was equipped with Red Caven's "wine".

Reiner couldn't help being a little curious, and walked towards the tavern, followed by Sarang and Lumbare.

In fact, it was the first time for Reiner to come to such an occasion. Although he used to have several taverns in the territory of Fort Moreland, he never went there due to his status.

Now that there are more people under him, and the situation is more complicated, he can't always learn about his territory from Logan's file, he also needs to understand from other levels what kind of territory he is ruling, what kind of group kind of person.

Pushing open the door and walking in, the two waiters at the door saluted Reiner and Sarang respectfully. People with swords are not easy to mess with.

Nodding casually, Reiner walked in with the two of them.

The whole tavern does not look small, at least three to four hundred square meters, and there are small private rooms on the second floor, I don't know what they are used for.

In addition to the external stone walls, most of the interior furnishings of the tavern are wooden structures, and dozens of tables and chairs are placed in the hall in such a disorderly manner.

The vulgar-looking hooligans were so drunk that they were lying on the chairs in a daze. Reiner clearly saw a person take a big sip from the wine glass, and then slapped the butt of the waitress next to him, attracting The other party exclaimed, and then showed an angry smile.

In addition to these people, there are all kinds of people.

People in ragged clothes, people with swollen faces, mercenaries in leather armor and spears, wandering knights in chain armor and long swords, and ordinary citizens who came out for a drink or two in their spare time.

In addition, Reiner also saw some pickpockets who were doing petty theft and fled away with smug smiles after they succeeded.

Suddenly, Reiner frowned and looked at his feet, a lump of greasy stuff was under his feet.

"Grass..." Reiner raised his foot in disgust.

"What's this?"

He really couldn't see what was under his feet, it looked very disgusting anyway.

Such a waste of a fine pair of moccasin boots.

Even so, Reiner still controlled his emotions and tried to put himself in a good mood.

Leiner took Lumbare and Sarang to find an empty seat and sat down, put the long sword on the table, and asked the waiter for three cans of dark beer.

"It's really..."

Reiner looked at the surrounding environment with a little disgust, sniffed, and began to breathe through his mouth helplessly. There was a strange smell in the air, and he couldn't tell what it was.

Not only that, because there were too many people here, the air was also cloudy and stuffy, and he felt short of breath in just a short while.

"Hey? Brother, do you hate this place? Haven't you been here before?" Lumbare reluctantly looked away from the chest of a waitress, smacking his lips and asked Reiner curiously.

Reiner's face was a little distorted when he heard the words: "There used to be, but I haven't been here for a long time. I'm not very used to this place!"

Regarding Reiner's words, Sarang next to him nodded approvingly. He is only twelve years old this year, and he had never known such a situation in the tavern under the education of Baron Azak since he was a child.

The rude gestures, the harsh insults, and the vulgar slang of the country all made him very uncomfortable.

"Oh, brother, you still don't know much! You have to find all the fun here! Otherwise, training all day would be boring!" Lumbare said, and then set his sights on another pretty waitress .

Reiner couldn't help shaking his head, and continued to observe the situation in the tavern.

The waiters acted very quickly, and within a few minutes, the dark beer ordered by Reiner was brought up.

It was only then that Reiner knew what dark beer was.

In the past, he never drank beer at all at banquets. All of them were wine or filtered fruit wine. This was the first time he drank beer in this world.

It looks cloudy when poured into the cup, and there seems to be something floating on the surface. The whole cup of liquid is dark brown, and it looks very unappetizing...

Enduring the nausea, he took a sip, and found that the taste was completely different from the beer he drank in his previous life. It didn't have that refreshing feeling, but it tasted sour and astringent like horse urine.

"Wait..." Reiner looked at the beer in the glass and murmured, "The beer of this era... seems to use no hops..."

He seemed to have found some business opportunity, but he didn't leave here, but continued to sip the dark beer in his glass.

He suddenly felt that he was enjoying this private visit in a micro-service.

And at this moment, he discovered that there were so many armed men in this tavern.

Reiner picked up the wine glass, walked to another table, and asked the "knight" wearing chain armor with a sword hanging from his waist, "Can I sit here?"

The knight froze for a moment, then nodded to indicate that it was okay.

Reiner looked at the knight, and saw that he looked about 30 years old, but considering that people in this era have a short life expectancy and premature aging, it is very likely that he is facing a knight in his twenties.

He was wearing a full-body leather armor and half-body chain armor. The chain armor was only on the upper body, but the leather armor hung down to his legs and had a very long hem.

Standing beside him was an immature young man wearing simple leather armor and holding a short sword. Reiner reckoned that it should be his follower.

"A can of dark beer, I'll treat you!" Reiner turned to a waiter and said.

"Oh! Thank you so much. Haven't asked for your name yet?"

"Uh...William...my name is William!" Reiner thought of a random name for himself.

"William? Thank you for your generosity today!" The knight looked at Reiner's excellent equipment and said, "My name is Peide. Did you also come to Mecaron City Training to find opportunities?"

"Opportunity?" Reiner frowned slightly, and said with a smile, "What opportunity? Why didn't I know?"

Reiner really didn't know what chance there was in Mecaron City. As a city that had just been conquered, it was time for all businesses to wither.

"Don't you know?" Peide said in surprise, but he quickly realized, and said with a clear look: "But that's right, you should be a knight with a fief, unlike us These wandering people!"

"Count Rainer unified such a large piece of land, everyone felt that his army should be expanded, and his knights were not enough, so we came here to try our luck and see if we could get Earl Rainer's Appreciate being a knight with fiefs!"
