Chapter 13: The Adventurer's Tavern
After about fifteen minutes, the whole team finally passed the inspection of the "city gate chief" and entered the city.
At the fat and short back, the merchant Viru took a heavy sip, then turned to the two Adams and smiled and said, "Newcomer, do you need a guide? ”
At this time, Adams was still distressed about the silver cosu, in fact, he didn't want to pay this money to be a big wrongdoer, but before he was ready to turn around and leave, Jim directly took out two silver cosu from the money bag and handed them to the hateful fat man.
In the economic system of the Kingdom of Suan and its allied federations, one hundred copper wrights can be exchanged for one silver cosu, and twenty silver coss are equivalent to one gold lonnie. One silver cosu is worth enough to buy a sturdy ox and a bachelor for a month.
In other words, in just a moment, a month of happy life has waved goodbye to the two.
Maybe it's because he once lived a good life that he knows that money is not easy to come by, or maybe the nouveau riche always has no concept of reasonable consumption, Jim doesn't seem to feel much distressed about the lost silver coin, but instead hugs the merchant's shoulder, squeezes his eyebrows at him and says, "Dude, do you charge?"
The merchant was stunned, and then smiled heartily: "Originally, there was a charge, but I looked at you pleasing to the eye, so I will break this example, go, go back to my warehouse to put the goods first." ”
......
After about an hour and a half of work, the merchant finally finished unloading all the goods, and he gasped and gave a thumbs up to Jim and Adams, who were also tired from helping out, and grinned.
"Where are you going?" asked the merchant Viru.
"Let's go to the Adventurer's Tavern first, I heard that someone there is collecting some loot from monsters" Adams glanced at Jim, who had no idea on the side, and had to plan his destination first.
Viru seemed to have expected this, after all, although there was no clue from Adams, Jim's equipment was enough to show that he was an adventurer.
Viru stepped into the carriage and beckoned the two to come up as well, and then he gave something to the private coachman, and the carriage moved slowly. After about thirty minutes of driving, the carriage stopped and seemed to reach its destination, and the voice of the coachman came from outside the carriage door: "Boss, the adventurer's hotel has arrived." ”
After getting out of the car, Adams looked curiously at the tavern in front of him, unlike many country taverns, this three-story tavern was extraordinarily huge, a gold-lettered sign shining in the sun, and the walls were spray-painted, describing the heroic story of Dragon Quest, and there was an endless stream of adventurers coming and going, which seemed to be very lively.
"I love it here," Jim enthuses.
With the mentality of Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, the two entered the door of the tavern with exaggerated expressions under the leadership of Wei Lu.
The tavern was full of drunken people, and from time to time there was the sound of adventurers' gossip, laughter, and the clashing of wine glasses from the surrounding seats.
Weaving his way through the crowd, Viru led the two of them straight to the bar on the first floor of the tavern.
There was a lazy man lying on the bar, holding an empty wine glass in his right hand, and his left hand was cushioned under the bar as a sleeping pillow, his face was red and fluttering with a smell of wine, as if he was not lightly drunk.
He rolled his eyes at the three of them weakly, "You guys want something, oh, it's a green apple beer or a warm and touching black rye, my brother, those are really two charming stunners that you can't choose." ”
Viru laughed dryly at Adams and Jim, as if embarrassed by the bartender's gaffe, he cleared his throat and said loudly to the bartender, "Jill, your boss has found that the charming girls have drunk it all for you, and besides, our adventurers have brought a little bit of licensed goods." ”
Hearing this exactly the same name as Uncle Blacksmith, Adams and Jim's faces couldn't help but twitch slightly, in fact, it is not uncommon to have a duplicate name in this land, and there are actually quite a few people with the name Jim.
The bartender was obviously frightened by the previous sentence, he muttered and got up, and said drunkly: "Boss, don't listen to his nonsense, I'm not, I don't", and then he shook the bell in his hand and shouted to the waiter who heard the sound: "Take them to the box on the second floor, the youngest son and his sister of the Camster family are spending money to collect these things." ”
After saying this, the bartender opened his slightly narrowed eyes, glared at Adams and Jim fiercely, and said vaguely, "Put away your rough adventurer temper, be careful when you speak, don't, don't annoy those noble young masters and young ladies, remember?" and then lowered his body again and fell asleep.
Led by the waiter, the group descended the spiral staircase to the second floor of the tavern.
Unlike the wild and rough decoration style of the first floor, the second floor is very elegant, this floor does not have open tables, chairs and bars, but instead rooms painted with flowers and pines, and each room has a waiter standing at the door to listen to the call from the box.
The waiter led them to the door of a room with a sign that read "It has been ordered", and solemnly instructed them again: "Gil may not know what he is drinking, but there is really nothing wrong with what he says, and I warn you, if you anger the nobles, your head may no longer belong to you tomorrow." ”
Adams and Jim looked at each other a little, but nodded sincerely, indicating that they would be mindful of their words and actions.
There was a knock on the door, and the waiter shouted inside, "Master Camster and Miss Camster, there are two adventurers who may have what you need." ”
"Let them in. From behind the door came the crisp voice of a young man.
The waiter at the door opened the door and motioned for a few people to enter, and Viru whispered in Adams' ear, "I'll wait for you down there, I haven't had a drink in a few days," and then respectfully closed the door and left with the waiter who belonged to the first floor.
The furnishings in the room are simple and luxurious, with several leather sofas in a circle, a clean marble table in the middle, filled with tempting fruits and drinks, and a portrait of William I, the founding monarch of the Suan Kingdom, on the wall.
Two teenagers and teens in fancy clothes were sitting on one of the couches, looking Adams and Jim up and down.
"Please take a seat", the young man said coldly, his face didn't seem to be very good, with a hint of nervousness, and the pretty face of the girl next to him also showed a little sadness.
Jim threw a bright smile at the girl, like a beautiful flower with a quiet fragrance, and the latter smiled quietly.
Adams was taken aback by his friend's sudden behavior, and his old friend had just heard what he had said outside, so he quickly pulled his good friend's sleeve and sat on the sofa opposite the nobles, looking at each other with some apprehension.
The boy's expression was a little displeased, he looked at his sister with some annoyance, then cleared his throat and said the second sentence after the two entered the door.
"I heard you brought some licensed goods?"
