Galapagos City looks like a city that is slowly decaying.

The night is like a beast screezing through the darkness, swallowing up the light little by little, and only in some houses built on high places can bright lights shine through the glass windows, and there is no light in the low houses built on low-lying valleys and hard-to-climb reefs.

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

The ingredients in this restaurant are fresh, perhaps because some of the seafood comes straight to the docks.

Although this restaurant is not quite a catchy restaurant in Galapagos City, the seafood is really delicious.

"Where do you want to go after dinner?" asked Joan as she put down the silver spoon in her hand and asked Noah and me.

The seafood risotto on her plate was eaten cleanly by her, and it was obvious that she enjoyed eating 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, one look at me.

Noah and I had agreed in advance, and we wanted to ask more about the Kraken while we were in Galapagos City.

However, it was clear that Joan had misunderstood us.

"The kind that you want to drink purely, or the kind that you want to have fun?" asked Joan, smiling at us.

Before Noah could answer, she twisted her head to the side, as if to say something intimate to Jacques.

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

Jacques was speechless when he heard Joan say this.

"Traveling on the Vasquire plane with those beautiful ladies, and making a special trip to the tavern for fun?" Joan said to Jacques quickly, confident that her whispers to Jacques would not be heard.

Jacques gestured to show her that he wasn't that kind of person, and he was so worried that we would see the signs that he didn't dare to make too big a move.

"What are you two whispering?" Noah asked, curious, as he sat on the sidelines.

Then, he said a very casual joke: "It can't be a bad word for us, right?"

Joan had just discussed with me that the tavern in Galapagos City was the most local. Jacques smiled awkwardly.

Joan looked very calm at the moment, and showed a sweet smile at Noah.

I gave Joan a faint look 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 uttered the name of a bar.

Then she moved her chair forward, leaned forward slightly, and added in a whisper, "The price there is the fairest, and almost all the adventuring parties like to go there to ask for news." ”

If it weren't for her incomparable familiarity with the city, I would have asked Noah to send her away.

But it seems that Jacques, who patted his chest and said that he was extremely familiar with Galapagos City, was obviously a half-ass.

I always felt that being able to talk freely in front of the magician nobles, and to be able to tease us quietly with Jacques around us, the identity of this delicate girl with dark skin must not be as simple as Jacques introduced, a girl from a civilian family, no matter what.

......

When I walked out of the restaurant, a dark fog had shrouded the city of Galapagos.

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

Only beyond the city walls, the sound of waves washing over the reef could be heard from time to time, and countless waves crashed against the black reef, and then flowed down the cracks between the reefs into the sea, and so on, the reefs had gradually become anthenological, and covered with a thick layer of prickly oyster shells.

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

The night in the Galapagos was eerily quiet, and the street lamps lining the streets were nothing more than decorations, and there was no night watchman with torches to light it.

Some of the streets are built along the reef, and the ground is slightly uneven, so it is inevitable that you will walk a foot deep and a foot shallow.

A ball of fire rose from Noah's palm and slowly drifted over the team, and the road surface beneath his feet became clear, leaving only a row of shadows on the stone pavement.

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

"Recently, the security in the city has been very poor, and there are always people who disappear in the city for no reason, and after nightfall, everyone does not dare to come out of their homes at will. Joan said to all of us, and then said to herself, "Those people will not come to us so blindly." ”

"I'd like to meet them, and I'll be able to solve the long-standing security problem in Galapagos City!" Noah laughed.

I followed behind Noah, taking care of Ying Li behind me, and asked Joan, "Those knight lords in the guard camp, haven't you thought of a way?"

Joan snorted softly in her nose before she said, "They have thought about it, but after the death of the three knights in an unknown way, they have not dared to go out alone at night recently." ”

Joan's tone was full of disdain for the knights of the Guard Battalion Knights.

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

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

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

Before I could push the door in, I heard a noise and the smell of ale from inside.

There were not many guests in the tavern, and they chatted casually in twos and threes, and the atmosphere seemed very relaxed.

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

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

His gaze fell on the Rand knight at the back of the line, with deep wariness in his eyes.

The appearance of seven heavily armed knights in the tavern at once was enough to make the tavern quiet, and the drunkards who were a little drunk also shook their heads vigorously to expel the illusion in their eyes.

I stood at the front of the bar with Noah, Winley, Shirley Newman, Jacques, Joan, Katerina, Helena, and Becky, and the customers in front of the bar immediately moved out of the way and squeezed into the crowd with their glasses of wine.

We sat on the high chairs at the bar, and the rest of us found two tables and sat down.

"Why don't you bring us some ale?" Noah said to the tavernkeeper.

"Ha, my wine here is just the most ordinary ale wine, I'm afraid you won't get used to it. The tavernkeeper raised his hand to remove a wine glass, poured the ale into it, and carefully pushed it in front of Noah.

Seeing the tavern's actions, the waitresses in the bar returned to the back of the bar, and brought out the ale one by one and placed it at each of our tables, as if every waitress in the bar had slender thighs and towering breasts, with a sweet smile on her face, even if she was taken advantage of by those hairy drinkers, she also passed a glass of wine.

"A cup of ale ten copper plates. The tavern keeper said.

Noah took out two silver bells from his arms and pushed them in front of the tavernkeeper, who quietly put them into the bar.

"And what about the news?" Noah asked lightly to the tavernkeeper.

When the tavern owner heard Noah ask, his face relaxed, and he said, "Ordinary news, a gold coin." Some news is to be sold at a price tag. ”

Then he added: "However, you can talk to the people here more casually before you buy news from me, and if you are willing to invite them for a drink, these drunkards will even tell you the size of their mother-in-law's bust at home." ”

The tavernkeeper made it very clear that there was a lot of worthless news that could be inquired about in the tavern.

"We'd like to know a little bit about the Kraken. I said to the tavernkeeper.

Noah sat down next to me and said, "Anyone who has seen them on the Vaschi plane, or knows of a sea monster in the sea, can tell us." ”

With that, he placed a gold coin on the bar, slowly pushed it to the tavernkeeper, and then said, "We don't mind treating them for a drink if anyone knows!"

The tavern owner pondered for a moment, frowned slightly, and shook his head for a long time: "It's been a long time since anyone talked about the Kraken, but I heard that a few decades ago, there was an alien adventure group that encountered the Kraken, but I haven't heard anyone talk about it in all these years. ”

"Do you need to keep this question a secret?" the tavernkeeper asked us after a moment's thought.

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 at the people in the bar, "Has anyone survived the news of the Kraken?"

The eyes of the people in the tavern were all attracted to the tavernkeeper, and at this time, the tavern was quiet.

It's just that for a while, no one will answer.

Unexpectedly, the adventurers in Galapagos City didn't know anything about the Kraken.

There was silence in the tavern for a while, and then the atmosphere was restored, and the drinkers were all adventurers who came here from all over the world, many of them lived by hunting monsters, they had been adrift at sea for a long time, and they would return to the island every once in a while to resupply, and many would take the opportunity to run to the tavern for a drink.

However, at this time, a somewhat obscene-looking, leaning man appeared next to the bar, his eyes wandered off the gold coin in the tavernkeeper's hand, kept rubbing his hands, and said with some uncertainty: "I know some news about the Kraken." ”

Hearing him say this, the eyes of our group fell on him.

His body trembled slightly, but he had the courage to grab a glass of ale on the bar, drank it all in one go, and then slammed the glass on the bar, his face flushed slightly.

"I've heard that there is a ...... lurking at the bottom of the ocean in that part of the abyss."

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

“......”

The man's neckline was grabbed by the barkeeper's pincer-like hand, and he slammed the barkeeper's hand with both hands, but the hand didn't move.

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

The man fell to the ground and was smashed, his face was purple, and he got up from the ground in embarrassment, and even thought about rushing up to reason with the bar owner, but before he could rush to the bar, he was tripped by a foot sticking out of the oblique bottom, and suddenly fell out of a dog eating.

Before he could recover from his dizziness, a longsword glowing with a deep cold light was already resting on his neck, and a knight in costume pointed it at his neck and stomped on his chest.

The Rand Knight brought a chair with a calm face, sat beside him, and said in a flat tone: "If this boss hadn't thrown you out just now, I would have stabbed you in the back of the heart with a sword, and you are already a corpse now." ”

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

The Rand Knight said, "Do you really think that we don't even know where the Great Abyss is?"

The sharp sword just swung back and forth on the man's neck, and the man was completely stunned.

The so-called Great Abyss of the Vaschi Plane, Noah and I have also heard some things.

I heard that there was a spatial rift there, and that the Legion of the Faceless Ones of the dark forces was stationed there.

After such a small episode, the drinkers in the tavern who had become a little eager to try because of their bad intentions suddenly became silent.

We ended up having only one drink at the Adventurer's Bar, and with nothing to hear about the Kraken, we walked out of the tavern.

Walking out of the 'Adventurer's Bar', Joan asked us again, "Where else would you like to go?" Would you like to go back to the hotel to rest?

Dinoah said to Joan, "We want to go to Dunai, is there a way to rent a boat and find a more reliable captain?"
