Chapter 154: "The Slayer"

"Admiral of the Stars," Gardelia replied after a moment's thought:

"Tonight at 8 p.m., Pier Six. ”

Yes, without any delay...... Klein nodded slightly:

"Good. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the light in the crystal ball suddenly converged, and the figure in the black classical robe became darker and darker, more and more blurred, and soon disappeared.

With the crystal ball in hand, which had become very ordinary, Crane turned around, opened the door, and walked out.

Glancing at the boss who was leaning against the wall and drinking, he threw the crystal ball to the other party.

While the boss was scrambling to catch it, Crane walked down the stairs and left the warehouse unhurriedly.

Out of the "Whale Dance", he took out the gold-shelled pocket watch, snapped the switch, and glanced at the time.

It's almost noon and most of the bars are open...... Crane stopped a horse-drawn cab and told him in Fursak that he was going to the "Lordal" bar, which in the local language means "dawn" bar, which is a relatively high concentration of adventurers in the Gargas Islands.

For Klein, the collection of different information and the acquisition of various information are of considerable significance, which may help him to make the most accurate judgment at a critical moment, so as to avoid the loss of his life, so even if he does not like the bar too much, he has to go often, ask for a glass of malty-rich beer, sit quietly in the corner of the bar, and listen to the people around him exchange interesting and important things happening at sea.

In addition, he wanted to find out if Roy King, who was imprisoned in the Governor's Palace of Byam in the "City of Generosity", had been rescued - for more than two months, Will Unsetin, the "Serpent of Mercury", had not dreamed, and the "Destiny Councillor" Rejord had also failed to summon a messenger to provide clues to powerful magical items.

More than twenty minutes later, the carriage stopped, and a huge sign appeared in front of Klein's eyes.

He habitually took out 2 soles of paper bills and paid them to the coachman.

It wasn't until he saw the coachman's slightly rough face clearly that he suddenly remembered something:

This is abroad, this is the colony of Vrsac, which has its own common currency!

The smallest is the kopeck, followed by the silver, and the top is the Kinhorn, and they maintain a very user-friendly decimal system, making the conversion very easy.

I forgot to go to the bank to exchange the kopecks and verbunes...... The previous ones were used in hotels and restaurants...... Klein had just wanted to see where there were banks around, but the coachman happily took the two 1 Soles notes, checked them several times, and smiled so that the rough skin on his face was full of light:

"Thank you, thank you for your generosity!"

Well, the Gargas Islands are not too far from Tuscat and Olawe, and many items will be sold in these two places, and many Rune adventurers like to run to this "Moby Dick Sea", and the currency of the Kingdom of Rune is indeed normal to circulate locally...... Hehe, Rune's industrial and economic strength is stronger than that of the Vorsack Empire, and it can even be said that it is much stronger, and the gold pound is much stronger than that of King Horn...... Crane got out of the carriage and walked towards the "Lodal" bar, thinking about the coachman's surprised face just now.

Suddenly, he remembered that 1 gold pound could be exchanged for 5.5 gold horns.

That is, 2 shules are worth 5.5 vernitions.

In the "White City", the cost of renting a carriage for 1 hour is 4 silver, and less than 1 hour is counted as 1 hour.

No wonder the coachman was so happy!Klein looked back and saw that the carriage had gone.

Call...... With a slight exhale, Crane pressed his hat, pushed open the heavy wooden door, and entered the "Lodal" bar.

In this world, bars near the docks or factory areas often sell lunch and dinner, so the doors open around 11 o'clock, and many idle adventurers gather at the bar to ask for spirits, smoked fish, and greasy soups, and eat bread.

Drinking Lielanzi and Nepos at noon? Is this going to be drunk all day? This custom of Fersac is really unacceptable...... Crane muttered a few words, walked to the bar with a blank face, sat down in the corner, tapped the plank:

"Two slices of toast with red sausage, one smoked whale meat, one soup and a glass of Grasse beer. ”

Grasse beer is popular on the east coast of Vrsac, and it is not uncommon in Sunia and the Gargas Islands.

"New here?" the bartender glanced up at Klein, "a total of 4 silver and 6 kopecks." ”

If you don't drink spirits, you're new?Klein didn't pay attention to the other party's question, and just threw the 2 Sol bill over.

This is worth 5 vernitions and 5 kopecks.

Thinking that it was Gelman Sparrow now, Klein resisted the urge to ask the other party to find money, so he should give a tip.

Of course, in Beckland's bar, so much food is about 2 suckers.

The bartender, who had received the tip, didn't ask again, quickly poured a glass of Glass beer, and pushed it in front of Klein.

This beer is dark in color, thick in foam, burnt in the mouth, mellow and slightly punying, making Crane feel that the alcohol content is on the high side, and he wonders if he has mixed it with spirits.

While waiting for food, he took a sip of wine and quietly listened to the adventurers around him chatting.

And most of the conversation of that group of people focused on who made a fortune, who was killed by pirates, who killed the pirate captain without asking for a bounty and turned around to take over the other party's subordinates, who had an illegitimate child with a certain woman in Nas, and who did not behave well in the brothel, and became a laughing stock.

When the Galgas soup made with beets, onions, cabbage, carrots, fish, cream, etc., was brought to Klein, he finally heard something interesting.

An adventurer lowered his voice and said to his companions:

"Have you heard? To the east of Gargas, there is a Quaternary remnant. ”

"No!, who found out?" asked his companion, stunned and curious.

The adventurer glanced left and right, and said without paying much attention:

"Galleth discovered, you know, that he was a navigator who was good at diving.

"He was drunk, and he was blown off the deck by a storm and sank to the bottom of the sea, where he found the remains of some steel buildings, definitely human steel buildings!"

"And then?" asked his companion.

The adventurer chuckled:

"Gallus followed the wreckage and found an abandoned well of unknown depth, which had been filled with seawater, but it still gave him a very deep, very terrifying feeling, a storm above, which may lead to the center of the earth.

He said that something inside seemed to beckon him, and he did not dare to explore it, and surfaced in fear. ”

Deep Sea Well...... Strange sense of "attraction...... This is not necessarily a relic of the Quaternary Age, maybe it is the Third Age, the Second Age, the little "Sun" has said that in that dark age, the sea monsters submitted to the elven king Sunia Solem and helped him rule the seabed...... Sweet, salty and slightly sour...... Klein took a sip of the soup and forked the smoky beluga meat.

The adventurers didn't talk much about what happened to Gallus, because there were no exciting gold jewels, magical items, or extraordinary materials yet.

They soon talked about a few adventurers who had a bad relationship, and laughed at each other's fact that they were married to beautiful local girls, but after three or five years, they had all become strong and fat women, the kind whose strength was comparable to that of the low-level extraordinary.

Eventually, they concluded, it was perhaps the small amount of giant blood that flowed through the Fursacks at work.

They didn't say anything of value until Klein finished his lunch and was concentrating on drinking, but the crowd in the "Lodal" bar grew.

Suddenly, the heavy door opened and slammed into the wall.

A young man in a top hat with obvious rune blood rushed in and nervously shouted:

"Are there any Adventurers' Mutual Aid members?"

Yes, Bildt still owes me an item to make...... Klein saw the young man nervously looking back at him, instinctively believing that he was being chased by someone.

Before he could think about whether to help, three adventurers stood up in different corners, one of them was more than two meters tall, with broad shoulders, knotted muscles, pale yellow hair, and deep-set blue eyes, which was very eye-catching.

A sense of power is like substance...... This is an extraordinary person who is not low in sequence...... Crane withdrew his gaze and became a spectator again, looking at the door of the bar.

Soon, a man in a linen shirt and brown jacket appeared, of medium stature, with purple lips and brown eyes that could not be concealed with a fierce malice that could not be concealed.

He...... Klein immediately thought of a portrait on a wanted poster!

That belongs to the second mate of the "Immortal King" Agaritu, the "Slayer" Gilcias with a bounty of 9,500 pounds!

This is a notorious pirate...... Klein's spirit tensed suddenly, his eyes locked on the other party, his left hand naturally hung down, and his body was ready to pounce at any time.

Gilcias glanced at the two-meter-tall "giant", then looked at Klein, suddenly withdrew his gaze, and turned away from the door of the "Lodal" bar without the slightest pause.

Very decisive and alert...... Klein frowned slightly, believing that he hadn't revealed any killing intent just now, and even his gaze was well controlled.

Was he worried about the "giant", or was he really intuitive enough to be somehow keen? Like, like the "demon's" premonition of danger, Klein gulped off the rest of his Glass beer, and left the bar and out into the street without participating in the private conversations of the fellow adventurers.

Now he doesn't want to create new problems in addition to the matter of finding mermaids.

Looking around, Klein found that the "Slayer" Gilcias had long since disappeared, so he quietly returned to the hotel.

............

The Silver City, inside the Round Tower.

Derik Berg met again with Colin Iliad, the chief of the Council of Six.

He clearly remembers that nearly seventy days ago, he was told that in about two months, he would have a mission to explore, and he had to be prepared.
