Chapter 11: Rumors of Howling Ghosts

As he stepped down the staircase path into the Shimmer Bar, Dick felt a completely different atmosphere than when he was on the street. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Waves of heat poured out from the door of the shimmering bar ahead, and it seemed to Dick that a huge beast was spewing a hot, fishy breath at him. This made Dick frown slightly, but the thought of the children in the safe house and the hard work of Mother Eletty, the frown gradually eased, and no longer hesitated, and stepped into the bar.

After all, if you want to make money, it seems that you can only try your luck at the Shimmer Bar based on your own situation.

The moment he pushed the door open, all kinds of noisy voices poured into Dick, which made Dick, who was already mentally prepared, frown again, he was not very accustomed to this kind of environment.

The first to greet me was not the bartender, but the girl who basically had only a thin cloth left on her body, and only covered the key parts. The profession of a ji-woman seems to be an indispensable job no matter where it is, and as long as the capital is a little passable, there will never be a shortage of men. In a social environment where productivity is relatively weak or the world pattern is relatively turbulent, women who are born in a weak position will invest in this industry if they are not careful, whether active or passive, in order to survive, people's bottom line can always be infinitely lowered.

Dick wasn't interested in them, of course, because he wasn't here for fun, and besides, he didn't have enough money in his pocket to make a fortune. Of course, his left hand naturally swept over the plump boobs of one of the bunny girls who were surrounding him in front of him, trying to sell his own, and his head fantasized about a faith-level hero in the league......

When the girls finally decided that Dick, the little bastard, was just a poor student who rubbed oil, they also lost interest in him, after all, they preferred the quantity of the silver wheel to the quality of the customer.

Dick was not annoyed by the lack of a person to rub the oil, and after scanning the bar around the bar, he walked straight to the area to the right of the bar, where bounty hunters and merchants of all kinds gathered.

"Two shots of the hunters' favorite prine." As he passed by the bar, he tossed the silver wheel in his pocket at the bartender, and Dick found an empty spot and sat down.

"Willy, I heard that you just came back from Bilgewater, hehe, to be honest, the day after you left Pittown, your father's employer went to collect his debts, and he thought that your father would not be able to pay his debts after you died."

"Hmph, that eyeless thing, it's not the first time that Lao Tzu has come back from the gold panning in Bilgewater alive, so he's so sure that Lao Tzu will die there?" The bald man named Willy burped and picked his teeth, "But Lao Tzu went to visit him when he came home this morning, hehe, and took his right leg by the way." ā€

"Haha, well done! But Willy, in fact, is no wonder old Duke, after all, when you first came back from Bilgewater, you only had one left hand left, and even I thought it was a mistake for you to go to Bilgewater again. ā€

"Cut, if I hadn't wanted to keep my left hand as a souvenir, I would have replaced it with a mechanical alien a long time ago, you know, relying on the powerful power of the mechanical alien, Lao Tzu can be regarded as gaining a firm foothold in Bilgewater! I'm going to renovate them for the new year, and I'm going to make a permanent stay in Bilgewater, and I've found it to be a paradise, and if you're brave enough, it's a treasure everywhere! ā€

……

His ears were constantly receiving all kinds of information, but most of them were useless boasting and information from all over the world, Dick was not in a hurry, and listened with great interest to the various experiences of this group of hunters who begged for a living on the knife edge, but gradually became more and more interested in this vast rune land.

"Hello guest, these are the two glasses of Prang you ordered, and besides, this guest next to me wants to get to know you." A bartender placed two glasses of pron on a tray on Dick's table, pointing to a small punk guy beside him.

Dick glanced at the little man next to the bartender, and he could tell everything about him from his appearance, which was the classic appearance of alchemunk bullies. There are their group of people in almost every city, and Dick doesn't want to deal with them, but I have to say that sometimes some money-making gossip, they know best.

"Hehe, students from the Academy of Technology and Magic rarely come to the Shimmer Bar, let alone the little ones who are still underage and are trying to find a job. As a friendly reminder, the sacrifice rate of those 'hunters' who came out to play in the academy is still high! ā€

The little punk sat down across from Dick, took one of the glasses of Prang and gestured to Dick, then poured it into his yellow-toothed mouth, smacking his lips with a sigh of relief.

Dick didn't mind, but after taking a shallow sip of the wine in the glass, he found that he didn't like the pungent taste, and put it on the table casually, and said, "Actually, in a few days I will be an adult." Also, I think that the identity of an official soldier of the Alliance should be enough to prove that I am not out for fun. ā€

Picking up the Prang wine that Dick hadn't finished drinking on the table, and pouring it into his mouth again, which resembled the lower waste water pool of Zu'an, the little punk burped in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Alliance soldiers, yes, the strength is enough." Actually, I have been determined to be an Alliance soldier since I was a child, but since my brother was 'sensible' and didn't resist killing his wife that night, my brothers and I have had to beg for a living on the streets. ā€

As for the experience of the little punk, Dick said that he had no interest in it.

"Forget it, boring student party." I didn't care about Dick's attitude, in fact, the little man didn't plan to cooperate with Dick in the first place, he came to talk, just to rub a glass of wine, "Just introduce yourself, anyway, there's no need for that." As a thank you for drinking two glasses of Prinz, little one, let me tell you a piece of news. ā€

Dick, of course, was not angry at the little punk's rudeness, but felt that he was a little too polite as a notorious alchemist-punk bully.

"It's not been peaceful in the back street of Zu'an these two days, if there's nothing going on, don't wander around there at night, if you're accidentally caught by the howling ghost and taken for supper, then you won't be able to draw it."

"Howling ghosts?"

"Well, that's right, several people have died near those gray alleys on the other side of the back street in the past few days, and some witnesses have said that they have seen a figure resembling a beast flashing by, and often heard some howls. No one can leave alive after seeing it with their own eyes, for a little guy like you, it's better to wash up and go back to sleep, haha! ā€

The little punk was about to leave after saying that, but Dick's voice sounded again.

"You're going to clean up the howlers?"
