Chapter Eighty-Four: The Moonlight Tavern
After living in the forest for more than a month, especially the gray trees, Yunli was very uncomfortable, and now, returning to the city of freedom, there is an indescribable excitement.
Send people to the edge of the forest, and the immortal bird will take off again and disappear into the sky.
"Goodbye. Yun Li said silently in her heart, although she didn't know why the immortal bird wanted to help her, and she didn't know why it was not disturbed by the merman's sound waves, but these inconsequential and unquestionable things, Yun Li simply chose not to ask.
The task of Team 33 was successfully completed, and when Chiyo solemnly handed over the very delicately drawn map to the principal Chai Chun, the old principal patted him on the head meaningfully: "Child, it's hard work. ”
With so many trainees sent, only one team successfully completed the mission, and although the space scroll was used, the results spoke for themselves. These are not Yunli's concerns, she received the prize and badge and left.
After a day and a night's rest, Yunli walked out of the school gate.
Walking through the bustling shopping street, Yunli found that Liberty City seemed to be more prosperous than before, and even the small square was surrounded by stalls selling medicinal herbs and ores from other places.
It's a pity that her father is still outside the city gate to defend against the siege of the demonic beasts, and she doesn't know how long the status quo will last.
Tasan City, Moonlight Tavern.
Yunli gently pushed open the grid door made of copper bars, and looked at the words on the wooden sign, yes, this is it. As soon as she entered, she felt a warm breath, completely different from the last time she came. No matter how the outside world changes, the temperature of the Moonshine Tavern has never changed.
Winter. It seems like it's really coming soon.
There was a loud noise, it was the mercenaries who were gambling, they were waving their fists, their heads tilted and shouting as they poured wine. Yunli went up to the second floor, found a relatively quiet corner, and sat down.
As soon as she looked up, she spotted the charismatic proprietress .
"Excuse me, Miss, what do you want?"
Red lips, red nails, red dress. She's not kitsch at all. Walking step by step in red high heels. She sat down across from Yunli and asked her lightly.
"I don't drink, please take snow orange juice. Yunli was a little puzzled, there were also waiters here. Why did the proprietress Sothia greet her? A twelve-year-old girl enters the tavern alone. It's a little weird indeed.
However, Colorless asked her to meet here.
"Boss, don't bother with that noble lady. She won't drink the wine here!" a large, half-drunk mercenary suddenly roared.
Yun Li frowned, she was wearing an ordinary mage robe, which eye of this mercenary could tell that she was a nobleman? However, among the all-short-shirted mercenaries, she did look very incongruous.
Then again, cultivating a magician requires very strong financial support, and Yunli, who has never taken money seriously, certainly wouldn't have thought of this.
Entering the Ka Ye Academy to test their talents, everyone is eligible, but they all have to pay an entry fee of five gold coins, and the Ka Ye Academy is not bad for money, but this hurdle alone makes many people have never even tested their magical talents! But this tradition has been maintained for many years, and it has never been changed for anyone.
After all, there are not many people with talent, and even if they have talent, they will struggle without financial resources, and many people are not even willing to gamble. Even, there is a saying in the city of freedom, instead of taking those five gold coins to test the magic talent, it is better to go to the casino to get a handful, and maybe you can also make a capital to open a medicine shop!
Sothia smiled back, holding up the red goblet, her lips delicate with white teeth.
"Here, everyone is my guest, and we should give everyone the respect they deserve. Sothia's voice was very soft, and after speaking, she turned her head to Yunli again and said, "Miss, he's drunk, don't take it to heart." ”
After a while, a large glass of golden snow orange juice was placed in front of Yunli.
Yunli took out a gold coin and smiled softly at Sothia.
Looking at the gold coin printed with the portrait of the Queen of Dark Incense, Soxia also smiled: "Miss, such a glass of snow orange juice only needs 1 silver coin." ”
Giving change for 99 silver coins is really a bit of a hassle. Yun Li suddenly realized, she nodded awkwardly: "But I only have gold coins, so I don't need to look for them." ”
"Yo! Miss Noble!" The big mercenary interjected again, staring at Sothia with both eyes, as if that would catch her eye.
Sothia seemed accustomed to this, and she turned back to the people at her table and said, "He's drunk, please help him." ”
"Don't move Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is not drunk!" the big man suddenly broke free from the two people holding him, "The nobles are like this! A slave is worth five gold coins in their eyes! But her magic robe costs at least a hundred gold coins! This is the city of freedom, where the poorest and richest are all here, but it is really ...... It's so liberating!"
Of course, Yun Li knew that this big man was not drunk, how could a drunk person still be able to speak so clearly. But...... A hundred gold coins, is it very expensive? A good magic herb is more than that.
The people here are very mixed, and the reason why Yunli chose this place is just because of one point. She discovered that the Holy Land's Imperial Capital also had a tavern with the exact same layout as this tavern, mainly serving low-level mercenaries. She even suspected that not only the Saint Lan Imperial Capital, but also the capital of every great empire, had a moonlight tavern that looked inconspicuous! At least, she had seen it in the Biermark Empire!
Many times, the more inconspicuous the thing, the more important the clue. She used to think it was just a coincidence, but too many coincidences are strung together, and it is not just a coincidence!
Sosiya ignored the mercenary's words, she put the gold coin in Yunli's palm, and whispered, "It doesn't matter if you don't have a silver coin, you go and register, and give it back when you have it." ”
"Aren't you afraid that I'll never come again?" Yun Li asked rhetorically, she was really a little curious, the Moonlight Tavern shouldn't even be able to take out 99 silver coins, right?
"Don't be afraid, we can pay on credit here, no matter what. ”
Yun Li twitched the corners of her mouth, looking at the crooked mercenaries downstairs, she smiled: "In this way, your tavern will not be able to open sooner or later." ”
Of course, it was just a joke, and this tavern was not only open, but also for a long time.
"You think everyone is as hypocritical and shameless as you nobles!"
As soon as the words fell, the strong man was knocked unconscious by a punch from the person next to him.
"I'm really sorry, this young lady, the eldest brother is really drunk, our mercenary group is having a casual meal today, he is bitter, I hope you can live ...... adults regardless of villains"
His voice was very cautious, although the city of freedom was in turmoil, but the commoners definitely did not dare to do anything with the nobles, let alone the blessed magicians! (To be continued......
