Chapter 145: News
Hathaway didn't walk in immediately, the door of the bar was exquisitely crafted, modeled after the art style of the elves, and a melodious sound came from inside...... Although she doesn't know much about the music and art of this world, she knows whether it is beautiful and ugly and whether it sounds good or not. The melody of this piece is relaxed and lively, full of pastoral style, but also faintly elegant, and the composer's musical attainments are still very deep.
Gently pushing the door open, there was a slight look of surprise on the face of the bar guy standing in front of the door, obviously because Hathaway was too young...... Except for a few spellcasters who had special talents in magic or came from a famous family, few of them became full-fledged magicians at her current age.
I don't know what kind of expression he would have if he knew that he was a third-level magician. The corners of Hathaway's mouth curled slightly, and she walked in.
It's a very tasteful, high-end bar that ordinary adventurers or mercenaries wouldn't come to...... It's not that they're not classy, but the consumption here is amazing. However, behind the expensive consumption is delicious food, attentive service and a warm environment, so as long as there is no shortage of money, there are still people who are willing to come here to be elegant.
Hathaway is not particularly particular about food, but she is not like ordinary civilians, who can eat anything...... At least the feeling of drinking broth and munching on hard bread during the trip was something she didn't like very much.
When she came to the fellow, Hathaway raised her hand, and a gold carat appeared between her two fingers, and then her fingers flicked lightly. The coin made a perfect arc and landed on the counter in front of the guy.
The coin landed on the smooth counter surface, dripping and turning...... This hand is not a trick, when she was in elementary school, she saw a few boys tired coins and played very handsomely, so she secretly practiced playing, and later practiced the flying knife technique, whether it is finger strength or wrist strength, have been trained, and the fingers are more dexterous. Playing this kind of mini-game is even more handy.
"What's so good to eat?" Hathaway asked faintly.
Being a magician is what sets her apart. Not to mention a small bar guy, even in front of the big nobles, she can still talk to them with an indifferent attitude.
"Do you prefer fish or meat? The cod steak and tempeh salmon here are very famous, as for the meat. Many people like the willow here. Fried with cream. Other than that, the steaks here are good too. The guy hurriedly said that the other party was a magician. No matter what his attitude was, he didn't dare to care.
Hathaway groaned for a moment and said, "Well, according to what you said, I want to try both kinds of fish, I don't really like chicken tenders, but the steak is good." ”
Turning his head and glancing into the distance, Hathaway continued: "That roast looks pretty good, and besides, there's a thick pot of fresh soup, the main ingredient of the soup can be tadpoles, or calf kidneys, and as for vegetables, I like lettuce and lettuce, and you can do it for dessert." ”
Hathaway ordered a lot of things in one go, and the guy was a little stunned, and even the people next to him looked at her dumbfounded.
"Hey, did you write it down?" Hathaway looked at the fellow with some strange surprise.
"Your Excellency the Magician, these are you...... Ordered by one person? The guy asked, snorting.
"What? What else do you offer? Or are you afraid that I won't give money? Hathaway asked coldly.
Although she is not a lady, she is still very unhappy to be noticed in terms of food. However, every time I practice the Yuanyang Imperial Sword Technique...... Especially for sword raising, the physical exertion is particularly large, and after each cultivation, you have to prepare some high-calorie food.
"You misunderstood!"
The guy apologized, and hurriedly ordered a young man next to him word for word, and then asked Hathaway respectfully, "Do you need anything else?" ”
"Let's do it first." Hathaway sat down at an empty table. Not far from her, a young man dressed like a playboy sat there, and when he saw her, he nodded slightly, showing a very friendly smile, and Hathaway returned a very sharp look, conveying a message of 'no one should come near'.
In Hathaway's opinion, that guy just now was a little sluggish, and he didn't know why this bar would use this kind of person. However, they were still relatively efficient, and it didn't take long for the well-cooked dinner to be served, and it seemed that it was much better than the food provided in the inn where they were staying.
"I heard that thieves have been rampant in this neighborhood lately?" Hathaway asked tentatively.
"Yes, I did hear about it, and this incident made the residents here a little nervous." The guy said lightly.
Hathaway looked at the guy with some surprise, she really couldn't see that this guy was nervous.
"It doesn't seem like you're nervous to me." Hathaway looked at him inquiringly.
"Oh, maybe so. You don't know, those thieves are just a rabble, and they can't storm the fortress," the man said calmly.
Hathaway smiled dumbly...... Isn't it? Even if those thieves are numerous, they will never dare to attack the heavily guarded fortress, although there are not many complete armies here, but the defense system is very sound, and there are magicians in the fortress, so although those thieves operate near the fortress, they will never be arrogant to capture the fortress.
But admittedly, the guy was right, the locals don't have to worry about it, they don't need to leave the fort to make a living. Most of the nervous-looking people around them were outsiders, who wanted to make their way to the Cordillera Plateau, but were haunted by a group of thieves and trapped in the fortress.
"Aren't you worried about being attacked by thieves?" Hathaway asked with a smile when she saw that she was so calm.
"If those thieves do attack, they'll find out that it's a bad decision."
It was probably the first time that the guy had met a magician who was interested in talking to him, and he was a little proud and excited, "Actually, the purpose of those thieves is only for food, and most of them rob just to eat their stomachs, not to rebel, so they will never attack the fortress." There were not many garrisons in the fortress, and as long as the thieves did not try to storm the fortress and the rear of the fortress, they did not bother to attack, after all, it was not their duty to suppress the bandits. ”
"You're going to excuse them. However, you say that those thieves are just for food and clothing, but how can there be so much food to rob? Where did all the goods they robbed go? Hathaway's mind moved slightly.
"Ugh."
The guy was stunned for a moment, he didn't want to answer, but when he saw a strange smile on Hathaway's face, he shivered slightly, lowered his voice and said: "Your Excellency the Venerable Magician, you are a knowledgeable person, there are those who dare to rob in this world, and there are those who dare to sell stolen goods." ”
His gaze quickly swept around: "At this moment, there are several businessmen in this bar who specialize in this......
The man was very discerning, and although the magician who was talking to him in front of him was young, he was not a person who would be idle enough to chat with one of his buddies, and pointed out the merchants at the moment, and even told them their names one by one.
"I want to go to Mangadishu and need someone who is familiar with the Cordillera Plateau, do you have anything to introduce?" Hathaway was very happy with the guy in front of her. Because the Gettysburg fortress is more sensitive, the Sith. Carl hasn't set up a foothold here yet, so a place like a pub is the best way to get information, and this guy in front of him is undoubtedly a good 'tongue'.
"Spia. Rodtrim, the leader of a small mercenary group, has been walking the Cordillera Plateau all year round, and this man has always had a good reputation. The man replied.
"I'm very happy with your answer."
Hathaway took out a very good quality gem and threw it to the fellow: "Help me find him." ”
"It's an honor for the villain to be able to serve you!" The fellow had great discernment, and when he took the precious jewel, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered a young man next to him to find someone, while he stood respectfully beside Hathaway.
I don't know if it's because of the fatigue of the journey, or because the chef's cooking skills are really good, after a while, most of the food on the table has been wiped out by her...... The guy waiting next to him was a little puzzled: they all said that the magician was weak, but this one was still a girl, but her appetite was a little stronger than that of ordinary martial artists, which was an eye-opener.
At this moment, the door opened, and the guy who paid attention to the movements of the fellow from time to time whispered, "It's here." ”
Hathaway also looked at the door when she heard the sound, and when she saw the person coming clearly, she was also slightly stunned, because the clothes of the person who came were easy to misunderstand...... He was dressed in a very aristocratic manner, with a rose made of red silk pinned to his snow-white shirt, and a very beautiful boat-shaped courtesy on his head, with a fluffy feather on it. He was not very old, in his thirties, with two well-trimmed mustaches on his face, very delicate, and a thin sword at his waist, which looked like a noble child.
The young man next to him whispered a few words, and the man's eyes immediately looked at Hathaway, and then he walked over, sat down on the chair next to him, and asked, "Are you looking for me?" ”
"I heard you're familiar with the Cordillera Plateau?" Hathaway asked.
"Oh, what do you want to know?" Spia. Rodtrim.
"I'm going to Mandy Gaza." Hathaway looked at him for a moment and said slowly.
"I know all the way to Mandi Gaza." Spia. Rodtrim replied without hesitation. (To be continued......)
