Chapter 39 39. Movement in Arethusa
“Brother, give me a room, I have to stay here for a day.”
“Okay sir, an Oren , we also come with a dinner and a breakfast."
" Oren? Do you want to pay in Oren for a night's stay? "
In front of the counter of Yinlu Tavern. A man wearing a hood and cloak seemed to be choked, then tilted his head to confirm to the bartender that he heard correctly.
The bartender with a towel draped over his shoulders seemed to have seen a lot.
There was no wave in his tone.
“Sir, this is the Silver Heron Tavern. We are the best in Goss Velen, and there are even mages staying here on weekdays. You also know that no mages would put loose pieces in their wallets. The only coins I have are Oren.”
The bartender couldn’t see the upper half of the guest’s face, but the twitching at the corner of his mouth was obvious.
"Oh~" A meaningful drawl sounded in Lan En's mind, "We are hosting the Master. Sir, this asking price is really normal! How about we change to another hotel?"
< br>
Mentos has been dissatisfied with the profession of demon hunter for a long time, and whenever he has nothing to do, he always gets angry at Master, who is also from the extraordinary system.
To be honest, Lan En also wants to be a magician, otherwise the auxiliary function of the magic seal would not be developed so smoothly.
Who doesn’t want to face thousands of enemy troops, shoot fire and meteors at the flick of a finger, and clear the field without even a speck of mud on their clothes?
Walling in the mud is quite normal for melee professions.
But the problem isn’t that it can’t be done!
When Lan En pressed the golden Oren coin on the counter, the bartender saw that his knuckles were turning white from the force.
"Hey, look at you, we feel sorry for you, then we can find another company."
Mentos is still in a weird mood.
Lan En gritted his teeth.
I also want to change, but... do you think I am the kind of person who turns around and leaves after washing my hair at the barber shop when I hear that I am not satisfied with the price? !
Oh shit! My damn pride!
"Mentos, shut up!"
"Then you promise not to sing again on the road!!!"
The conversation ended abruptly here.
Lan En quickly took his dinner plate from the bartender's hand and walked to the table in the tavern hall without saying a word.
It's like nothing happened.
It’s just the strange yin and yang, you can bear it!
The dinner at Yinlu Tavern was indeed worthy of his reputation in Gos Willen.
A glass of beer, fresh fried sea fish, paired with seasoned mashed potatoes, oyster mushroom cream soup, and the staple food is a large piece of bread.
This city is the trade distribution center of the entire Willen and the largest consumer market.
It naturally brings together Willen’s various produce and recipes.
This is the best meal Lan En has had since he came to this world.
Finally, I experienced the local food culture.
While he chewed slowly, he listened to the entire conversation in the tavern with his ears.
It’s written like this in novels, isn’t the tavern well-informed?
But what Lan En didn't expect was that what was originally just a joke would actually yield some results.
On the table behind Lan En, two well-dressed businessmen were sitting opposite each other, each holding a glass of wine.
One voice was slightly shrill, and the other sounded like phlegm in the throat.
It was like playing cards in the middle, because Lan En heard the sound of many cardboard pieces being placed on the table.
A high-pitched voice: "Aha! As soon as I play this rain card, your pile of siege equipment will just fall down. There are only seven points left in total!"
A spitting voice: "Okay, okay, who knew you would put so many weather cards in your hand?"
As soon as the words were spoken, the sound of coins sliding on the solid wood table was heard.
Lan En, who was eating, suddenly took a hard bite of bread. Damn it, two big businessmen, the gambling capital of a game of cards is thirty oren? !
Xiao Qianqian’s voice penetrated deeply into Lan En’s bones!
But the next moment, the two businessmen chatted while the cards were being shuffled, which cheered up the young man again from the frustration of the gap between the rich and the poor.
A high-pitched voice: "How is your vegetable business? Aretusa is closed. I remember supplying them every day. I am the biggest player in your business."
expectoration Voice: "Yeah, yeah, those sorceresses can eat precious exotic fruits as snacks, don't you make money from them? But to be honest, the impact of the closure of Arethusa College on my business is not that terrible. Shouldn’t I still play cards with you here?”
The businessman with a shrill voice smiled and said nothing.
“Don’t believe it, even if those sorceresses are in a closed academy, don’t they still have to eat and poop? My vegetables and fruits are still sent in, but they can no longer bid based on market fluctuations like before. .”
The businessman who was coughing up phlegm took a sip of wine to soothe his throat and continued.
“But it’s not without its benefits. The prices of vegetables and fruits are highly volatile. I can’t sell the expensive things in the market at a high price now, but I can sell the cheap things at the same price as before. Generally speaking, it’s stable. Fluctuate."
"Then you know." The tone of the high-pitched voice was a little tentative. "That's why Aretuza closed the academy?"
Lan En heard this. , his arm seemed to have accidentally knocked over his own beer glass.
The yellow beer flowed all over the table.
He cursed quietly under his breath, then sat down on the table behind him with the dinner plate in hand.
The two businessmen glanced at him warily, but seeing that the seats were not close together, they probably couldn't hear anything, so they didn't say anything.
It’s just that their voices were deeper.
"I heard that someone was embarrassed in the academy."
"A person was embarrassed?" The high-pitched voice was slightly surprised, "Is this worthy of sealing off the academy? Because of a magic accident in their academy, There are many mages who have scrapped their own skills, right?”
"It's different this time!" The spitting businessman lowered his voice while dealing cards, but this measure was of no use to Lan En.
“You also know what kind of person the current principal of Aretusa is. She cares about her students, so she went out to find someone in person, but she didn’t even hear from the principal! The college suspected that someone was targeting the college, so they closed the college. Only to block his open mouth.
“That Ms. Margarita? That’s one of the most powerful warlocks in the world!”
“Who says it’s not the case? Otherwise Aretuza would have Such a big movement? ”
The expectant merchant also took a sip.
The conversation ends here.
Perhaps because of Lan En's table change, the two businessmen really focused on the card table.
All that is left is small talk.
Lan En is not dissatisfied that he can only hear this.
This matter really had little to do with him. It was just that the young man wanted to collect more information out of a lingering sense of crisis in his heart.
A businessman who relies on the college for a living is drinking and playing cards right now. He has nothing to do with the college, so why should he worry?
But the conversation was not fruitless.
Lan En knew that the Yinlu Tavern had purchased a new batch of wine, which was produced in the Soden area and was called Soden Mountain Triple Mead.
I heard that honey is added three times during the fermentation process before it leaves the wine cellar.
No matter whether it is real honey or white sugar. Anyway, Lan En took out an Oren without blinking this time.
I filled up my two water bottles, and I also had an extra cup ready to be taken to the guest room upstairs.
