Chapter 227 Snow Ridge Town
Ding Bell~
The old brass-colored doorbell rang, the creaking wooden door of the tavern was pushed open from the outside, and the biting cold wind howled as Li Si entered. In the tavern.
Li Si, dressed as an ordinary mercenary, closed the door and looked at the slightly narrow tavern.
Perhaps because the winter here is too cold, the windows of the tavern are small circular holes cut out of the thick brick walls, and are now firmly blocked with rough wooden boards and cotton cloth. A blazing fire burned in the dark fireplace nearby, bringing enough warmth to the tavern in the cold winter.
Although the fireplace and a few magic stone lamps alone could not completely dispel the darkness in the room, it could not stop the mercenaries from shouting and shouting enthusiastically.
Beside the wall, there was a drunken bard playing and singing heroic poems.
This is the mercenary tavern in Xueling Town. Like the mercenary taverns in other places, it is the favorite place for mercenaries to spend their free time.
With a glass of mellow ale, a plate of cured ham, and a few friends who are willing to listen, you can kill a whole day, go home drunk, take a nap, and completely relax after a long day out. Relax your tense nerves when completing a commission.
However, Li Si noticed the difference in this tavern here.
Many of the mercenaries were relatively muscular, with tall noses and white skin. They all had some characteristics of the ethnic groups of the northern Dillon Kingdom. Lis even saw several dwarves and two cat tribes among those mercenaries. The existence of orcs.
Looking at the half-orc's furry ears and tail that was raised and wagging happily, Li Si was also a little emotional.
As Li Si gradually left the hinterland of the human kingdom, adventurers from other races began to gradually appear in the mercenary guild.
In the past life, many players complained frantically to the game company, accusing them with blood and tears of why they could only choose humans and not open other races.
This is Xueling Town. After Li Si separated from the Feisi caravan, he embarked on a journey alone.
The Luoxue Mountains serve as the border between the Kingdom of Fes and the Kingdom of Dillon. Both kingdoms have little control over the area. As a town built by the Kingdom of Fes next to the Luoxue Mountains, Xueling Town relies on the rich mineral resources in the mountains. Specialty products and precious ores are developing well.
Most of the mercenaries who come here are preparing to go to the mountains to hunt monsters and obtain precious materials.
If Li Si moved forward alone, he would be much faster than the caravan. Even so, it took Li Si half a month to get here.
This is the destination of Li Si's journey, and it is also where the ruins left by the legendary arcanist are located.
Although Li Si got a lot of useful information from his teacher, they were all scattered clues. He had to keep working hard to find the location of the ruins.
The first thing is to collect intelligence!
Li Si walked straight to the tavern bar and sat down, and said to the tavern waiter:
“Have a large glass of cold ale and a piece of honey pickled fish.”
Cold ale is brewed from special cold wheat produced in the north. This wheat is a new type of wheat specially trained by the druids organized by the [Oak Sage]. It can survive the severe cold in the north. It’s just that the yield is lower compared to normal wheat.
The cold ale brewed from this wheat has a refreshing taste, especially the unique and long fragrance that makes many people want it. Of course, the price is also much higher.
Honey-pickled fish is a specialty food here. The small fish caught in the stream are smoked and then marinated in honey. It can be preserved for a long time and is a unique flavor in the long winter.
Li Si liked this snack very much when he came to the north in his previous life. The sweet taste makes people want to stop.
“Okay, please wait.”
The waiter in this mercenary tavern is a mature, generous and charming beauty.
She responded with a smile, wearing simple clothes and having a broad mind.
When~
She gently placed a plate with several small black and red fishes in front of Li Si, and then brought up a wooden beer glass filled with dark yellow ale with some difficulty.
This pub is relatively clean. Although it doesn't look like much from the outside, the wine glasses and plates seem to be clean, and there is no common black oil stain on the bar.
After seeing that everything he ordered was served, Li Si was not in a hurry to taste it, but took out a gold Fez coin. Duh. Duh.
This brand new gold coin, which was printed with the long sword emblem of the Fez royal family and the morning light holy emblem of the Church of Dawn, was held between the two fingers of Li Si's right hand and gently tapped the dark gray wood of the bar. table.
"It's my first time to come to Xueling Town. I want to ask about something. I don't know who should I contact?"
The waitress did not stare at the gold coins in Li Si's hand; He winked at Li Si, smiled and said:
"If it's not some secret news, I think I can do it."
"Okay."
Li Si said with a smile. Anyway, he was just thinking about some basic information now.
With a flick of the finger, the gold coin made a crisp sound, slid through a graceful arc in mid-air and fell into the deep canyon on the waitress's chest.
The waitress chuckled lightly, picked out the gold coin from her clothes without any care, kissed it lightly with her red lips, and then put it away with satisfaction.
“My name is Yulia, does the guest have anything to ask?”
Yulia tucked a few strands of brown hair behind her ears and leaned lazily against her On the bar, Li Si looked at Li Si with a smile and a coquettish look, not caring that the scenery on his chest could be seen at a glance.
Li Si didn't care about Yulia's charm at all. He was joking. Are you using this to test me who has experienced many battles?
"I heard that there will be thick purple fog here in Xueling Town?"
"This will indeed happen."
Yuliya looked at Li Si seductively He glanced at it, nodded and replied.
This is the first time she has encountered someone asking this question. Could it be that this young man is here for a tour?
"That can be regarded as a relatively special weather in Xueling Town. Every autumn and winter, this kind of purple thick fog will appear from time to time."
"At first I thought it was pretty dreamy, but after a long time, That’s it.”
“Do you know the scope of the thick fog?”
Li Si picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth, feeling the sweet taste, and then asked. .
“.I really don’t know about this. It should be Xueling Town and a small part of the nearby Luoxue Mountains. I haven’t heard of it appearing in other places.”
Yulia said after a moment of silence, becoming even more curious about Li Si.
“Is that so?”
Li Si thought for a while, picked up the wine glass and took a swig of cold ale.
"Are there any ruins around Snow Ridge Town?"
Yulia did not hesitate this time. She was very familiar with this as she had been working in the mercenary tavern.
"No, I have never heard of any mercenary discovering ruins in the nearby Luoxue Mountains."
Li Si nodded. This was similar to the situation in his previous life, and he was mentally prepared.
"By the way, are there any legends in Xueling Town? I'm very curious about this?"
Yuliya thought for a while and said with a smile:
"Yes, but it's the one related to Xueling Town."
Ah~here comes the treasure!
