Chapter 913 15. Adventurer Tavern

Galapagos City looks like a city that is slowly decaying.

The night is like a giant beast sneaking from the darkness, swallowing up the light bit by bit. Only in some houses built on high places can there be bright lights through the glass windows, those in the low-lying valleys There is no light in the low houses built on the rocks that are difficult to climb.

At this time, a waiter walked in, and he silently lit the chandelier hanging on the ceiling, and the room became much brighter.

The ingredients in this restaurant are very fresh, perhaps because some of the seafood comes directly from the pier.

Although this restaurant is not considered a high-end restaurant in Galapagos City, the seafood is indeed cooked very deliciously.

"After dinner, where do you want to go?" Joan put down the silver spoon in her hand and asked Noah and me.

The seafood risotto on the plate was eaten clean by her, and it was obvious that she liked it.

It can be seen that Joan is a well-educated girl.

When she eats, she doesn't make any noise, she doesn't show her teeth, and she doesn't talk to us.

"We're looking for a tavern!" Noah said to Joan, glancing at me.

This is what Noah and I discussed in advance. We want to inquire more about the sea monster when we are in Galapagos City.

Still, it was clear that Joan had misunderstood us.

"The one who wants to just drink, or the one who just wants to have fun?" Joan asked after giving us a small smile.

Before Noah could give an answer, she turned her head aside, as if she wanted to say something intimate to Jacques.

When I turned my head, I clearly rolled my eyes in front of Jacques with those big black and white eyes, and whispered to Jacques: "Your noble young masters are all like this?"

Jacques was too stunned to speak when he heard Joan say this.

"Traveling in the Vashj plane with those beautiful ladies, is it necessary to make a special trip to the tavern to have fun?" Joan quickly said to Jacques, she was very sure that she and Jacques would not be able to whisper be heard.

Jacques used gestures to show her that he was not that kind of person, and he was very worried about being seen by us, so he didn't dare to make too much movement.

"What are you two whispering?" Noah sat aside and asked Jacques very curiously.

Then, he casually said a joke: "Could it be that you are speaking ill of us?"

"How is it possible! Joan just discussed with me that the tavern in Galapagos City has the most local characteristics." Jacques smiled awkwardly.

Joan looked very calm at the moment, showing a sweet smile to Noah.

I glanced at Joan lightly, and said to her: "We want to go to the kind of tavern where we can buy news!"

"Then go to the Adventurer's Bar?" Joan immediately said the name of a bar.

Then she moved the chair forward, leaned slightly forward, and added in a low voice: "The price there is the most reasonable, and almost all adventure groups like to go there to inquire about news."

If she wasn't very familiar with this city, I would have asked Noah to send her away.

But it seems that Jacques, who patted his chest and said that he is very familiar with Galapagos City, is obviously a half-assed.

I always feel that if she can talk calmly in front of the magician nobles and tease us calmly with Jacques next to her, the identity of this pretty dark-skinned girl will definitely not be as simple as Jacques introduced , a girl from a civilian family can't do this no matter what.

……

By the time they walked out of the restaurant, a dark fog had shrouded Galapagos City.

There were hardly any pedestrians on the street, and even the homeless people lying in the shade during the day were nowhere to be seen on the deserted street.

Only outside the city wall, the sound of waves crashing against the reefs could be heard from time to time. Countless waves smashed into pieces on the black reefs, and then flowed into the sea along the gaps between the reefs. Just like this, the reefs had gradually become smaller. No edges, covered in a thick layer of prickly oyster shells.

"Do people here go to bed so early?" I asked Joan curiously.

The night in Galapagos was eerily quiet. The street lamps on both sides of the street were simply decorations. There was no night watchman holding a torch to light them.

Some streets are built along the reef, and the ground is slightly uneven. It is inevitable that one foot will be deep and one foot will be shallow when walking.

A ball of fire rose from Noah's palm and slowly floated over the team, the road under his feet became clear, leaving a row of shadowy shadows on the stone road.

Four stone drum totems of different colors rotate slowly around my body, illuminating the path under my feet.

"The law and order in the city is very poor recently. People always disappear in the city for no reason. After nightfall, no one dares to come out of the house casually." Joan said to all of us, and then said with a self-mockery: "Those people must be They won't come to us so unkindly."

"I hope to meet them, and it can be considered as a solution to the long-standing public security problem in Galapagos City!" Noah laughed.

I followed Noah, and while taking care of Yingli behind me, I asked Joan: "The knights in the guard camp, don't you think of a way?"

Joan snorted softly before saying, "They have thought about it too, but after the three knights died for no apparent reason, they haven't dared to come out alone at night recently."

Joan's tone was full of contempt for the knights of the guard battalion knights.

The stone slabs on the street became a little wet under the mist, as if a layer of slippery moss had grown on them.

In the mist, a ray of light finally came through.

It was a tavern built at the end of the street. There was no writing on the door, only a big wine glass was painted on the signboard. On the shelves outside the tavern were worn-out bags and pairs of old shoes. It was only when I got closer that I saw a few words 'Adventurer's Bar' carved with a knife on the door frame.

Before I opened the door and went in, I heard the noise from inside and the smell of beer.

There were quite a few guests in the tavern, chatting casually in twos and threes, the atmosphere seemed very relaxed.

But when Joan led us in, the chatter in the tavern stopped abruptly.

The bar owner standing at the bar also looked at us with a serious face, and when he saw Noah walking in front, he said to Noah respectfully: "Dear Mage, what can I do for you? "

His eyes fell on the Rand knight behind the team, with deep guard in his eyes.

All of a sudden, seven armored knights appeared in the tavern, which was enough to make the tavern quiet. The drunkards who were a little bit drunk also shook their heads vigorously to expel the illusion in their eyes.

I stood in front of the bar with Noah, Yingli, Shirley Newman, Jacques, Joan, Katerina, Helena, and Becky. Get in the crowd.

We sat on the high chairs at the bar, and the rest of the group found a couple of tables to do the same.

"Why don't you give us some ale?" Noah said to the tavern owner.

"Ha, the wine here is just the most common ale, I'm afraid you won't be used to it." The tavern owner raised his hand to take down a wine glass, poured the beer into the glass, and carefully pushed it in front of Noah.

Seeing the behavior of the tavern owner, the waitresses in the bar returned to the back of the bar one after another, brought out the ale one cup after another, and placed them in front of each of our tables. It seemed that every waitress in the bar had slender thighs And towering chest, with a sweet smile on his face, even if he was taken advantage of by those sloppy drinkers, he still handed him a glass of wine.

"Ten coppers for a glass of ale," said the tavernkeeper.

Noah took out two silver coins from his pocket and pushed them in front of the tavern owner, who quietly put the silver coins into the bar.

"What about the news?" Noah asked the tavern owner indifferently.

When the tavern owner heard Noah's question, his face relaxed, and he said, "General news, one gold coin a piece. Some news are up for sale."

Then he added: "However, before you buy news from me, you can chat with the people here more casually. If you are willing to buy them a drink, these drunkards will even compare the size of their mother-in-law's bust. Tell you."

The meaning of the tavern owner is very clear. There are a lot of worthless news that can be found out in the tavern.

"We want to know some news about the siren." I said to the tavern owner.

Noah sat beside me and said, "Anyone who has seen them in the Vashj plane, or knows which sea area hides the sea monsters, can tell us."

After finishing speaking, he put a gold coin on the bar counter, slowly pushed it to the tavern owner, and then said: "If anyone knows, we don't mind buying them a glass of wine!"

The owner of the tavern pondered for a moment, frowned slightly, and shook his head after a long time: "It's been a long time since anyone talked about the sea monster, but I heard that a foreign adventure group encountered the sea monster decades ago, but they haven't seen it again in recent years." I've heard people talk about it."

"Do you need to keep this question secret?" The tavern owner thought for a while and asked us again.

Noah and I looked at each other, then shook our heads at the same time.

"That's good..." The tavern owner decisively grabbed the gold coin on the table, raised his hand high, and asked loudly to the people in the bar: "Is there any news about anyone who survived the sea monster?"

All the eyes of the people in the tavern were attracted by the tavern owner, and at this moment, the tavern became quiet.

It was only for a while, but no one was willing to answer.

Unexpectedly, the adventurers in Galapagos City knew nothing about the sea monster.

There was silence in the tavern for a while, and then the original atmosphere was restored. Most of the drinkers were adventurers who came here from all over the world. Many adventure groups lived by hunting monsters. They drifted on the sea for a long time. Every once in a while, they will return to the island for supplies, and many people will take the opportunity to go to the tavern for a drink.

However, at this time, a man with a somewhat wretched appearance and a stooped body appeared next to the bar. His eyes wandered on the gold coin in the hands of the tavern owner, he kept rubbing his hands, and said with some uncertainty: "I know some News about the Kraken."

Hearing what he said, all our eyes fell on him.

His body trembled slightly, but he boldly grabbed a glass of beer on the bar, drank it in one gulp, and then threw the glass heavily on the bar, his face flushed slightly.

"I heard that there are hidden under the seabed of the Great Abyss..."

Before the man finished speaking, the bar owner in the bar had already leaned out, grabbed his neck in his hand, held him up in the air with one hand across the bar, and said sternly: "Do you want to live?" If you dare to buy this kind of fake news here, you can't fucking keep your eyes open to see what these nobles are wearing!"

"..."

The man's collar was firmly grasped by the bar owner's pliers-like hands. He tried to break the bar owner's hand with both hands, but the hand remained motionless.

It wasn't until the man was almost suffocated that the bar owner threw him out viciously.

The man fell to the ground and was thrown to the ground, his face was purple, and he got up from the ground in embarrassment. He even wanted to rush up to argue with the bar owner, but before he rushed to the bar, he was stretched out from the side. He tripped over one of his feet and fell out of a dog eating shit.

Before he recovered from the dizziness, a long sword with a deep cold light was placed on his neck. A knight in costume pointed the long sword at his neck and stepped on it. on his chest.

Lante Knight moved a chair with a calm face, sat beside him, and said in a flat tone: "If the boss hadn't thrown you out just now, I would have stabbed you in the back with a sword, you It's a corpse now."

Then he said to the man, "You are cheating a nobleman! Do you know how much it costs to cheat a nobleman?"

"Do you really think we don't even know where the Great Abyss is?" said the Knight of Lant.

The sharp long sword just swung back and forth on the man's neck, completely frightening the man into unconsciousness.

Noah and I have also heard about the so-called great abyss in the Vashj plane.

I heard that there is a space rift there, and the Faceless Legion of the dark forces is said to be stationed there.

After such a small episode, those drinkers in the tavern who had become a little eager to try because of their evil intentions suddenly died down.

In the end, we only drank a glass of wine in the adventurer's bar, but got nothing about the sea monster, so we walked out of this tavern.

Coming out of the 'Adventurer Bar', Joan asked us again: Do you want to go shopping?Do you want to go back to the hotel and rest?
Noah beside him said to Joan: "We want to go to Dunai Island, is there a way to rent a boat and find a more reliable captain?"
