Otome's Law of Ascension

Chapter 140 140. The Tavern Owner
"Wait, there is one more thing, don't you wonder who is trying to catch the clown?" Raphael put a hat on himself, then picked up the dirty hemp rope bag on the ground, and disappeared in the room.

"Ropei?" Lizia murmured, "Isn't he in Barbarici, isn't he an ascetic?"

Licia came out of the room, and the clown Pudding Kit shrugged and walked all the way. At this time, there were already many people in the Ladybug Tavern, which was very lively, and no one cared about their side.

"The dwarf was killed, not me," said Lycia. "Are you sure the Ladybug Tavern is a safe place?"

Budding Kit shook his head, and the few greasy lumps of hair on the top of his head also moved twice: "I'm not sure, but our station is here, and this is the tavern designated by Flindona."

"Are you the boss here?" Licia walked to the bar and sat in front of the people who were still wiping the glasses.

"Of course." The tavern owner in a brown checkered vest had no emotion on his face, "At least thirty people ask me this question every day."

"Do you know Luo Pei?" Licia asked.

The boss shook his head, then nodded again, "I know you."

"Do you want to chat?" The boss put down the rag, put the glass in front of Licia, and pulled a bottle of wine from the counter behind. "You pay a gold coin, a glass of wine, and 15 minutes of chatting."

Licia glanced at the clown: "Aren't you working here? Don't you have an employee discount?"

"It's not a part-time job!" The clown squawked.

"They paid the annual rent just to send people to stay here all year round. Part-time job? Miss, do you think I need a waiter here?" The boss gave Licia a quarter cup Measure and place the bottle on the table.

Amber wine swirls in the glass.

"Ahem, Ashe, can you lend me another gold coin?" Licia begged her sister who didn't look at her in embarrassment.

"Now you owe me two gold coins." Ashe pursed her lips, and readily took out a gold coin from her pocket.

"Very well, people who come here usually only pay the entrance fee, and there are very few people drinking." The boss picked up the glass and continued to pour the wine.

Licia picked up the glass and tasted it slightly, it was a very ordinary taste of wine.

"So why did they choose the Ladybug Tavern?" Licia asked.

"Our facilities are complete, as you have seen, there are rooms where the contract can be enforced, and, most importantly, safety." The tavern owner glanced somewhere, but Licia didn't catch it.

"Safe? He was almost captured," Lycia said.

"No human being will die here, never." The boss put the wine back and continued the meeting to wipe the glasses.

"Just humans? Don't care about the rest?" Lycia asked, because the dwarf had just died.

"Yes, only human beings," said the boss.

"Is the security of the message not guaranteed?" Licia continued to ask.

"The annual rental package they set includes message security, but not personal security." The boss replied, "Don't question me, I will do it after paying the money."

"Are you also a heraldic ability user?" Licia continued to ask, she didn't want to waste a gold coin.

"Although it seems that this world is ruled by people with heraldic abilities, it doesn't mean that all the abilities in this world come from heraldic powers." The boss said in a mysterious way.

If Licia was still the noble girl she used to be, she might find him unfathomable.

"The farther away you are from Lantcos City, the more strange people there are. I understand that." Licia said, "How long has your tavern been open?"

"13 years?" The boss moved his shoulders, "Did you just ask these questions during the precious 15 minutes?"

"After all, you won't tell me any valuable information." Licia sighed.
