Chapter Twenty-Eight: Sunset Twilight Hotel
Lei Zhen originally wanted to see if he could find some clues on his own in Binglin City, but now it seems that he can't, the consumption level here is not the same level as Cold Ice City at all.
Lei Zhen, who used to be in the hotel of 5 gold coins a night in Ice City, thought that it was expensive enough, but he didn't expect that the hotel in Ice City would cost 60 gold coins a night, even if the decoration was good, it was beyond his ability to bear. Now Lei Zhen just wants to complete the mission as soon as possible and run back to Ice City.
"Looks like I'm going to have to ask Ral tomorrow and find the guy named 'Lazy Hard' that the teacher said as soon as possible." Lei Zhen muttered to himself.
The next morning, Lei Zhen checked out and walked out of the Sleeping Rose Hotel with Lal, who was waiting downstairs in advance. "Ral, have you ever heard of a man named Harder?" Lei Zhen asked Ral as he pretended to browse Binglin City.
"Harder? Mr. Lei, I'm very sorry. Although Binglin City is a small city, it has a population of tens of thousands, and there are too many people named Hader, do you have any other clues? Ral looked down and thought about it, saying he really didn't know.
"Oh, I haven't met this guy either, I've only heard my teacher mention it. He seemed to have seen this man before at a hotel called Sunset Twilight. After speaking, Lei Zhen secretly glanced at Ral.
"Sunset dusk! I think I know who you're talking about, Mr. Lei. ”
Ral summed up the language for a moment, then said. "Sunset is a tavern on the east side of the business district, which also operates lodging services, but is generally only open to the poor. Although the environment is a little worse, because of the cheap ale, it is a frequent pastime for civilians like us. If I'm not mistaken, the winemaker there is called Harder, but because he always looks listless and doesn't wake up, we usually call him 'Lazy Harder'. ”
"That's right!" As soon as Lei Zhen heard the name "Lazy Hard", he couldn't help but nod in his heart. Then he changed the subject, which drew Ral's attention.
At the time of separation from Ral. Lei Zhen said that he should leave Ice City tomorrow and go to the next travel location, and gave Lal 1 gold as a reward for his guide.
"Mr. Lei, your generosity and the glory of the angels make me feel incomparably warm. May God bless you on your next journey! Excited, Lal gave Lei Zhen a sacred religious ceremony, and then carefully put away the gold coins. You must know that if the business is relatively bleak, sometimes, it will take a whole month for Lal to earn 1 gold coin.
"Oh, by the way, Ral, I heard that Lord Darcy, the leader of the Scarlet Crusaders, was also ordered to come to Ice Landing City, right?" Lei Zhen pretended to be casual in parting.
"Oh, Mr. Ray, your message may not be accurate. Lord Darcy has stepped down from his position as the leader of the Scarlet Crusaders, Binglin City is his old man's hometown, and he has been returning home for more than ten days! Ral didn't notice anything unusual about Thunder Shock, and proudly told Darcy about Thunder Shock. After all, as a fellow of the previous generation of Scarlet Crusader commanders, Ral is still very proud.
After getting the news he wanted, Lei Zhen sent the excited Ral away, walked around the Ice City alone for a few laps, and then walked towards the Sunset Twilight Tavern on the east side of the business district, where he had already asked for the specific route from Lal's mouth.
Pushing open the gate of the setting sunset, Lei Zhen only felt a strange smell of sweat mixed with alcohol coming to his nose, which made him want to gause, but he also belonged to the cemetery camp that had been dealing with corpses for a long time, and he got used to it after a while.
Looking up, Lei Zhen found that although the tavern was a little dim and cluttered, there were really a lot of people, and there were basically no empty tables. However, most of the guests here are dressed in shabby clothes, and they don't look like people of wealth and status. I saw that these people were talking in groups of three or five, and some of them even stepped on the stool, and from time to time there would be a burst of piercing laughter.
"Young man, have a glass of special ale at sunset, only 2 copper coins!" At this time, an uncle with a long beard behind the counter said to Lei Zhen, who guessed that this should be the owner of the tavern.
"Let's have a drink, then!" Lei Zhen took the opportunity to find a spare seat on the edge of the counter and sat down. Lei Zhen thought to himself, he had only drunk liquor and beer when he was so old, and he had only heard the name of ale, and he heard that it was quite popular in Europe before, and now he can try it in the game, which is not bad.
This has to mention the wonder of the game Legend of Heroes, the feeling of eating and drinking Lazar here is exactly the same as in reality, many things that cannot be tried outside the game, can be experienced in the game, and it is nothing more than attracting so many people into the game. Especially for many elderly rich people, they don't enter the game to upgrade, PK, fight for territory or anything, just to taste a lot of food and wine that has disappeared in reality in the game.
After a while, a large glass of bubbling ale was served, and Lei Zhen saw through the transparent glass that the liquor inside was brown and transparent, a little darker than the beer he had drunk in reality. Lei Zhen took a big sip, feeling that the taste was similar to beer, but there was a rich smell of wheat teeth filling his mouth, which was endlessly memorable.
"It's so exciting!" After drinking a large glass of ale, Lei Zhen couldn't help but say a word. "Boss, who made this wine?"
"Over there, the one lying in the doorway!" The tavern owner pointed to the location of the door and said. "Little brother, do you want another drink? Our malt wine is brewed using the ancient method, and all the raw materials are only malt, which is basically non-alcoholic, and it is not intoxicating. ”
Nodding and asking for another glass of ale, Lei Zhen looked in the direction pointed by the boss. I saw a middle-aged man dressed in sloppy clothes, sleeping on the bench by the door, and his harazi had already flowed to the ground.
"Ignore him, young man, lazy Harder is like this the rest of the time except when he was making wine." The boss looked at Lei Zhen's eyes and was attracted by the lazy Hard, and said in passing.
"It's okay, boss, can you stay here?" Lei Zhen turned his head and said to the tavern owner.
"The accommodation is able to stay, but there is no separate room here, there is a large shop on the second floor, and the accommodation is also a little bitter haha. Not quite in line with who you are. The boss looked at Lei Zhen and shook his head and said.
"Hehe, it's okay boss, I've slept in the mountains and fields, and I'm content to have a shelter from the wind and rain!" Lei Zhen didn't sleep in a chase shop in reality, he secretly went out to work to earn money when he went to school, and many times he could sleep all night in a nest in a corner.
"Well, there aren't many people these days, there are still a few beds left, 2 silver coins a night." The boss saw that what Lei Zhen said was not a lie, so he agreed.
