88 Maple Leaf Street.

Raymond has been to the tavern a few times in the game, so he probably knows what's going on inside.

"Musket and Rose Tavern" is the most lively and luxurious tavern in Tianlan Wangdu, where you can drink and watch performances, there are bloody underground gladiatorial arenas and gambling stalls, this is the most famous gold cave in Tianlan. Wine pond meat forest, sound dogs and horses... As long as you have money, you can find everything you want to have fun here.

Different from other low-level taverns where a large number of adventurers and pirates are mixed together, the "Musket and Rose Tavern" is the favorite pastime of the upper class of Tianlan, and it gathers almost all the wealthy merchants and high-ranking nobles in the royal capital...

......

The steam locomotive stopped at the door of the tavern, and the scantily clad welcome ladies rushed up enthusiastically.

"Ouch, Master Matthew, you haven't been here for a long time~"

"Yelena wants to kill you, the slave family has to serve the eldest young master well tonight~"

"Oh, Brother Matthew, why haven't you been here lately to spoil the sisters..."

“...”

Raymond thought that those girls were so enthusiastic because of their good professional ethics. But when the girls of this group of warblers and swallows shouted Matthew's name in a loud voice... He finally understood why Matthew was reluctant to come to the tavern, let alone bring his sister Elijah with him.

It turns out that this product is a diamond VIP customer of this tavern, a proper old dart customer!

Where did Ilya see such a battle, and hurriedly took Raymond's hand, looking timidly and never seen the world.

Seeing her brother's ugliness, she was even more disgusted, and said in a quenching voice: "Good you Matthew!" I asked you to bring me to the tavern, but I didn't want to, and I said I didn't know it... It turns out that you are still a regular customer here! ”

"Don't make a fuss! Be serious! What a system of pulling and pulling! ”

"Eh... Don't touch the crowd! ”

Matthew frowned coldly, and the girls walked away.

Finally sent away those enthusiastic and excessive girls, Matthew smiled awkwardly at Raymond: "Ahem, cough, cough!" That one... The service in this tavern is also too enthusiastic, I don't know any of these Yelena and Shelena..."

Believe you ghost,

Raymond didn't smile, of course he knew that this fat man had such a strong desire to survive, and he was all for Ilya.

Even if he brought anyone to this kind of place, Matthew would not be so embarrassed, but he brought his own sister.

Ay... It's over, and the ugliness is revealed.

Sure enough, seeing that group of girls leaving, where would Elijah, the little poisonous tongue, let go of such a good opportunity, and said coquettishly to those women with a sharp voice, "Ouch, Brother Matthew... It's been a long time since you've been playing! There are so many good sisters in this tavern..."

"What... Ilya, not what you think! You listen to me..."

Matthew still wanted to die and struggle. How dare he say that the first time he came here to socialize, it was brought by his father. After all, he is the heir of the Thunderbird Chamber of Commerce, and business entertainment is indispensable.

"Humph! I don't care what you're like..."

Ilya snorted arrogantly and interrupted the fat man's words. Far from dissuading her interest in going to the tavern, the warbler Yanyan battle was full of energy, and she walked towards the tavern door by herself, fearing that Raymond and the others would regret not taking her there.

Raymond and Matthew looked at each other and walked in with a wry smile.

......

Matthew is a Diamond VIP customer, and as soon as he walks through the door, someone will guide him. The tavern was crowded with people, and more and more acquaintances were encountered. The fat man walked all the way, and someone greeted him all the way, which scared him into a cold sweat.

Raymond wasn't interested in such noisy places, and Matthew didn't dare to join in the crowd. The three of them sat down in a drawer-style private room on the second floor of the tavern. Half of the private room is a terrace, and you can see the performances on the dance floor on the first floor.

"Wow... You see, there's Catwoman dancing too! ”

Ilya was the first time to come to such a place, and everything she saw was new. She leaned on the railing of the terrace excitedly and watched the various programs on the dance floor below.

Finally entering the house, Matthew also breathed a sigh of relief.

He wasn't interested in going to see any shows, drinking and chatting with Raymond.

"Now that Salo I is critically ill, the entry and exit of the royal palace are very strict, and it is difficult for even the princes to see them enter the palace..."

"Isn't there any other way?"

"It's hard... But I have a way of getting people into the palace for the potion you mentioned. ”

“...”

Raymond and Matthew chatted without saying a word, and he also sensed that the people he was tracking just now had lurked in the tavern at the moment, and the gas machine was always locked on the private room where he was staying.

It was midnight, and the wine was over three rounds.

The atmosphere in the tavern has reached the extreme, and the noise is getting louder and louder.

"Wow... There's a bunny girl coming out..."

Ilya, who was lying on the railing, kept an eye on the entire noisy tavern, and had the slightest intention of entering the house to drink. At this time, I don't know if the following program was changed or what, her aura became a little weird. Even if Raymond didn't see her expression, it was strange to perceive her "Qi" fluctuations, like the kind of nervous, shy and excited fluctuations...

Raymond muttered with some curiosity: "What is that girl looking at again, so focused?" ”

"Uh... That one... There are some 'special' programs that are usually close to midnight..."

Matthew choked up and didn't know how to answer. He, an old fritter in the night market, knows very well what kind of fragrant show is being performed below, but his own sister is right in front of him, where does he dare to be presumptuous. The left and right were so embarrassed that he could only pretend to be dead and collapse on the sofa.

"Ahh Brother Nicholas, I seem to be a little drunk... I'll sleep for a while, and you guys will take your time. ”

"Okay, get drunk."

The clumsy acting skills looked at Raymond's cheeks, and he didn't understand why this fat man was pretending to be drunk for a while.

There was no one to talk to, and it was a little boring. Thinking that it was time to go according to plan, he walked over to greet Ilya.

"Hey... Why are you so fascinated? ”

"Huh?"

Ilya was startled, and her delicate body trembled slightly as if she were a thief. Even though she tried her best to pretend to be calm, Raymond could still see a hint of panic in the fluttering of her eyes.

Following this girl's gaze, Raymond saw the restricted program on the dance floor downstairs, and a different color appeared on his face.

Hehe, you're a girl, and you didn't blink when you looked at these bunny girls just now?

Ilya looked at Raymond's eyes a little straight, and in order to divert his embarrassment, he said quietly: "Hey, hey, uncle... Are you men all interested in such scenes? ”

"It's okay."

Only then did Raymond understand that it was no wonder that Matthew was pretending to be dead. On the dance floor downstairs, these bunny girls are dancing sultry one by one, their clothes are torn, and there are fewer and fewer of them... This scene is obviously a bit inappropriate for children.

He smacked his lips, looked at it a few more times without hesitation, and commented: "It's okay... Those 'sailors' dancers did a good job. ”

The zombies that have been cut down for two years have seen too many limbs, and they seem to be a little numb. In addition to making him feel a little fresh about the dancing of these girls, he didn't feel that the hormones were too restless. It's probably like a doctor dissecting a corpse a lot, and then seeing those sleek dancing girls, the reaction is not big, it's almost the same.

Raymond's words were frank, but there was no embarrassment in the atmosphere.

"Oh."

Ilya is the high priest of the Knicks, and naturally distinguishes between truth and falsehood. She turned her gun on Matthew, who was pretending to be asleep, and said disdainfully, "My stupid brother must be interested..."

This said,

The two of them really lay on the railing, commenting on the restrictive programs that were in full swing on the dance floor.

"Gee, why are their clothes so of such poor quality... Why does it keep cracking? ”

"Yo, look, that girl is very good-looking... There's even a fluffy tail..."

“...”

One is not ashamed, the other is not impatient, but he is also happy.

Not long after,

The show is almost watched, and Raymond is ready to act.

"The puppet will become my appearance, you help me cover up, I'll go down and find a chance to make trouble..."

"Hmm."

No one noticed that the three people in the private room were still three.

I don't know when, but there was an extra masked swordsman on the dance floor downstairs.

Raymond didn't see it, not long after he left, the little girl in the private room on the second floor had a pretty face as red as a red apple.

......

There are a lot of adventurers dressed up in the Tavern of Muskets and Roses.

Here is the forefront of the kingdom's trends... Since the image of Raymond with a ghost mask was on the wanted list, not only has that kind of look not become taboo, like a new trend in masquerade, but there are more people wearing various ghost masks in this tavern.

Therefore, Raymond's cloak and mask are not conspicuous.

"What kind of reason do I have to find to make those guys notice me..."

Raymond sat alone in the corner of the bar and asked for a drink, his fingers rhythmically tapping along with the music. He naturally realized that the private room where the Shenmu puppet was waiting was being watched at all times.

He had to find a suitable opportunity to show his face so that people could know that the "assassin" was not Nicholas.

"On the third floor, there are three Sequence 5 transcendents, and the guy they are guarding should be the major shareholder of the tavern that Matthew said, the eldest prince Reiner... Is it possible to kill another prince again? ”

Thinking of this, Raymond shook his head slightly.

Since the experience of the assassination of two princes, these princes have obviously been much more cautious when they go out, and they will not leave their hands for a moment.

"If the target is the eldest prince, you won't be able to kill it. And if the assassination is too perfunctory, the traces of the show are too obvious... If you work hard, the three sequence 5 masters may not be able to get out..."

Raymond was a little tangled, and before he knew it, the midnight bell had already struck.

......

"Ladies and gentlemen, tonight's most exciting show is about to begin..."

Just after midnight, the dance floor of hundreds of square meters clicked, like one of those ancient elevators, and the dance floor slowly rose, and after a few moments, it became a fighting octagon cage surrounded by steel wire.

There will be a women's gladiatorial match at midnight in the tavern, a bit like the women's sumo wrestling in his previous life, for the pastime and amusement of the tavern customers, and it is very competitive and spectatorial. However, this kind of gladiatorial fight is obviously bloodier. In the octagon, only one gladiator could come out alive.

On the radio, the host shouted hoarsely: "Tonight, our 8th and 19th will have the last life-and-death duel of the month, and the winner will become the champion of the month... Contestant Eight was a captured mercenary on the battlefield in the south... Slave Nineteen was once a high nobleman..."

"Okay, you can place your bets..."

The gambling market has been opened, and gamblers are enthusiastic about betting.

In a short time, two masked female slaves in fighting leather armor slowly rose from under the fighting ring to the ground. A female swordsman with a long sword, a Spartan with a spear and shield.

Both of them were wearing masks and could not see their faces clearly. In addition to the leather armor on their bodies to protect the key positions, the strong muscle lines look like a cheetah-like smoothness. And all kinds of hideous scars can be clearly seen on their large bare skin, and it is obvious that they have gone through too many vicious battles to survive until now.

"Huh... Could it be that you have seen her somewhere? ”

Raymond looked at it and didn't know why, looking at the figure of the female swordsman in the octagonal cage, he felt a little familiar inexplicably.

......

"Rednose" Downey is a professional broker in major taverns. He has a wide range of contacts in the Tianlan royal capital, and often likes to match some businessmen from other places and match transactions, so as to get some oil and water.

"Yo, friend, you're pretty cool in this mask... Are you the 'ghost'? ”

Obviously, this is the opening line of the pick-up.

When Donnie saw that Raymond was alone, he immediately came up and down with a smile on his face. It is not easy for anyone to enter this tavern, not to mention that he still drinks a bottle of the best golden rum of 3,000 quarks

"Well, I'm the 'ghost.'"

A surprised smile appeared in Raymond's eyes.

He knew this guy, the "Message Merchant" known in the game.

"Ghost" was the code name of the assassin who assassinated Prince Bantu last time, and now the royal capital has been plastered with wanted notices in this shape. In this tavern alone, there are no less than ten people who imitate this shape.

Sincere!

Raymond kowtowed his glass to the uninvited fellow, and said hello.

"Hehe, you're so humorous..."

Donnie apparently didn't take it seriously, and instead asked, "Are you going to bet two?" ”

He squinted and looked at Raymond's outfit quietly, and when he saw the [Sakura] hanging from his waist, his eyes flashed with a gleam. He may not be a news merchant like him, his strength may not be strong, but his vision is definitely not bad, so he naturally recognized at a glance that this was an expensive weapon at least the level of a famous sword. Probably, this is a rich man who likes to collect famous swords.

"That's what it means."

Raymond said lightly, his eyes always fell on the female swordsman in the octagonal cage, and asked, "Is there any information about them?" ”

As he spoke, he flicked up a gold coin.

"Absolutely!"

Seeing that the person who came understood the rules so well, Donnie immediately became interested and said: "That spear shield Sparta is the annual champion sent by Khufu, thirty-five games, seventeen games and one round to kill the opponent... If you buy her, you should be able to take out your opponent within three rounds. ”

After a pause, he looked at Raymond who seemed to be more interested in female swordsmen, and said, "The other swordsman who is fast sword flow, I heard that he used to be a high-ranking nobleman in Philip's order, and he was only trained from the giant whale slave group not long ago, and he only has eleven official battle records... The swordsman has restraint against Sparta, and the probability of winning is not high. ”

"The high nobles of Philip?"

Raymond's expression under the mask became slightly solemn, and he said seemingly casually: "Can that swordsman's information be more detailed?" ”

As he spoke, he threw out another gold coin.

"You're a man who understands!"

Donnie's eyes flickered, and a flash of cunning flashed. He deliberately moved closer and whispered, "Although that swordsman has fought very few battles, her opponent has not survived a round every time. If you want to buy her to win, you can fight the move... According to the inside information I obtained, Nineteen practiced a special move, and within three moves, she could either kill the opponent or be killed by the opponent..."

Raymond shook his head, "I mean... Do you know the identity of the swordsman? I'm more interested in the high aristocracy. ”

Donnie showed a look of embarrassment and said, "That... I don't know. After all, he is a down-and-out nobleman, no matter how brilliant he once was, no one cares..."

Raymond thought about it and didn't continue to ask, he instead asked directly, "You... Is there a way to enter the palace? ”

News brokers like "Rednose" Downey usually build bridges for those pirate assassins on the black market, and there are many snakes and rats. If you can really think of a crooked way to infiltrate the palace, it must be this Donnie.

As he spoke, he directly took out a heavy bag of gold coins.

"Into the palace?"

I'm afraid it's hard to take this money.

Donnie's face changed slightly when he listened, and he secretly glanced at Raymond again. Thinking of the recent news of the prince's assassination, he was a little frightened. This person can come up with such a generous reward to inquire about the news, obviously not joking.

Could this guy really be a "ghost"?

Are the current assassins so blatant, the wanted notice is still posted at the door of the tavern, and they dare to come to drink?

Definitely not!

Although he wears a mask, this guy is obviously not too high, how can he be a "ghost" who can assassinate His Royal Highness the Second Prince?

Probably, it's just a guy who pretends to be sophisticated.

Donnie instantly had an evaluation in his heart, and said with a sad face: "His Majesty the King has not been in a good situation recently, and it is difficult to enter the palace..."

Apparently there is not enough chips.

Hearing this, Raymond took out a bag of gold coins again.

"This..."

Donnie's eyelids jumped, he knew that if he couldn't come up with a good idea, the two bags of gold would fly away from his eyes.

"That's... It depends on what you're going to do at the palace... If it's a palace kitchen or something, I've got some way out..."

"I'm going to the palace hall."

"Huh? It was near His Majesty's bedchamber, heavily guarded, and outsiders could have approached it..."

"Oh."

"Don't... I have come up with a solution. ”

"How to get there?"

"The top three of the 'Tianlan Genius Potions Master Conference' that is being held will receive the title of personal handbook from His Majesty the King, and although His Majesty is too ill to attend in person this year, the ceremony will definitely still be held... This is also the only opportunity to enter the palace hall openly. If you want to go to the palace, you can think of a way to do it in the Potions Guild..."
