Lord of the Star Ocean

In the north of Haoyuan City, Yanxing Street.

Both sides of the long street are full of taverns and inns. There are traveling merchants traveling from north to south, as well as heavily armed hunters and treasure hunters. Although the environment is dirty and messy, it is very lively.

Peng Yi and his group brought Nie Feng to a "Bison Tavern". Just after entering, he first greeted the plump proprietress sitting at the counter.

The proprietress was very ordinary in appearance, but when she saw Peng Yi bringing someone over, she immediately showed a happy smile, and there was a hint of charm in her big watery eyes, which was also somewhat attractive.

It was still very early and it was broad daylight, so there were no customers in the tavern. The proprietress came out to receive Peng Yi, Nie Feng and the others in person, appearing extremely enthusiastic.

Nie Feng noticed that the proprietress' eyes were always looking at Peng Yi, so he couldn't help smiling.

Peng Yi probably noticed it, and said to Nie Feng while the proprietress was going to get the wine: "Don't be fooled, this proprietress is the widow of a colleague in our army. Her husband died in a mission. Before he died, let me take care of her."

He sighed: "It's a pity that I'm just a poor soldier, and I really can't help much, so I just bring people over for a few drinks every now and then, just to take care of her business."

Nie Feng immediately suppressed his smile, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Peng, Gao Yi!"

He thought that Peng Yi had an affair with the proprietress, but he didn't expect such a reason, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, so he said, "Let me treat you today, proprietress!"

Nie Feng shouted at the proprietress who was getting wine from the counter: "Bring all the best wine in your store!"

"Don't!"

Peng Yi was taken aback immediately, and quickly stopped him: "The best wine here is very expensive, and a jar costs me a month's military salary. It's usually just for display, and we don't know how to drink it."

He saw that Nie Feng's attire did not look like a rich man, and he was from the remote Nanyuan City. He thought that the latter didn't know the price of Haoyuan City, so he didn't want Nie Feng to waste money.

"Don't waste your money, there will be a lot of places where you need to spend money when you enter the Martial Pavilion to practice in the future!"

The cultivation of star warriors requires resource support, otherwise there would not be so many impoverished star warriors running to be hunters and treasure hunters, risking their lives to make money.

The warriors who often come to Yanxing Street, except for big soldiers like them, are also those down-and-out hunters and treasure hunters.

And although Nie Feng didn't know how much the salary of a low-level officer like Peng Yi was, he thought it couldn't be very high, and he really didn't take this little money to heart.

Nie Feng laughed and said, "It doesn't cost any money. I'm afraid I have to ask Brother Peng for some advice to participate in the Ministry of Fire assessment, so I must serve the best wine!"

After a pause, he explained: "On the way to Haoyuan City, I once wiped out a group of horse thieves with a caravan, and got a lot of money, so I can still afford it."

"Okay!"

Here, the proprietress put the freshly taken wine back into the cabinet, and asked the man to go to the wine cellar to fetch the best and most expensive wine with a smile on her face.

Peng Yi's attention was distracted by Nie Feng's words, and he asked curiously, "What kind of horse thief is that?"

Peng Yi belongs to the Flying Bear Legion, one of the three pioneering legions, and as the core force of the empire stationed on Haoyuanxing, the Flying Bear Legion has no obligation to eliminate horse thieves and bandits, because that is what the local garrison should do.

However, Peng Yi also knew that the local garrison had no way to catch those horse thieves galloping in the wilderness and wandering around. They could only arrest them by offering reward notices.

Those merchants who traded between different cities were deeply affected, and often brought back various news and rumors.

It was normal for Peng Yi to be curious, and several of his subordinates also pricked up their ears.

Nie Feng replied casually: "It seems to be called Demon Wolf Thief."

Slap!

The teacup in the hands of the young sergeant sitting across from Nie Feng fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

He didn't care, opened his eyes wide and asked in an unbelievable tone: "The devil wolf thief? Couldn't it be the horse thief team that can drive wolves?"

Nie Feng smiled and said: "Probably yes, unless there is another group of horse thieves that can also drive wolves."

"The devil wolf thief has been exterminated?"

The young sergeant still couldn't believe it, and murmured, "Is it true?"

He was really surprised, so he behaved quite out of composure, and he didn't wake up until Peng Yi kicked him in the dark, and quickly said to Nie Feng apologetically, "I'm really sorry, I didn't doubt you, my uncle was attacked by demon wolf robbers while escorting the caravan, and it turned out..."

The expression of the young sergeant became gloomy, and even the circles of his eyes were red.

The atmosphere in front of the wine table became heavy and depressing. Although Haoyuan Star was not considered a chaotic world, natural disasters and man-made disasters occurred from time to time, and many ordinary people lived a precarious life.

As star warriors who were born as civilians, they are considered to be out of the bottom category of society, but they are still cannon fodder in the army. If they want to become a superior person and no longer be bullied and coerced by others, they need to pay twice as much effort and a little bit of luck.

Like the uncle of a young sergeant, who worked as a caravan guard for a living, and died when he encountered a fierce horse thief, which is precisely the sorrow of a small person.

Peng Yi stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder, and said, "Xiao Zheng, don't be sad. Now that the Demon Wolf Bandit has been wiped out, your uncle's revenge has been avenged. You have to respect Brother Nie Feng!"

Peng Yi didn't doubt Nie Feng's words, and he didn't think Nie Feng would tell such a lie, because the Demon Wolf Bandit was very famous in Haoyuan Star, and basically all the caravans and merchants knew it.

The caravan that wiped out the Demon Wolf Thief will definitely publicize this victory. I believe that the news will be heard soon, and the truth will naturally become clear.

"Yeah!"

The young sergeant quickly wiped away the tears from his eyes, and said to Nie Feng, "Nie Zhuangyuan, I have to toast you!"

Nie Feng smiled and said: "You're welcome, I just happened to meet the occasion, but I'll drink your glass of wine!"

He didn't say that he was responsible for most of the elimination of the Demon Wolf Thief, and Peng Yi and others thought that he just participated in the battle against the Demon Wolf Thief and made credit.

No one would have thought that in the process of destroying the Demon Wolf Thief, Nie Feng would be the first and the first.

He drove the Demon Wolf Bandit into the abyss almost by himself!

However, this did not prevent them from admiring and getting close to Nie Feng, and the strangers quickly became familiar with each other.

At this time, the proprietress also brought up the best wine in the store, and everyone drank and laughed happily, making the atmosphere between the wine tables more lively.
