Chapter 318: Five Good Fish Hotel
The reason why Tang Lie and Zhao Xiaodao wanted to go with him was naturally not for no reason, from the mouth of the black-robed man, they learned a lot about the organization behind the other party.
Although the truth is unknown, there are clues that can be traced, one of which is the 'Black Water' located in Bow Valley.
Blackwater is ostensibly a caravan active in Middle-earth, but anyone who has come into contact with the underground forces knows that this caravan has unclean hands and feet, and smuggling, abducting and using slaves is the real reason for its wealth, and for this reason, they even collude with some cities in the Moon Sea and even Santarin.
Such a notorious organization, coupled with Chab's accusations, is indeed highly likely to be involved in the study of training druid slaves.
So after leaving Susar, Sherlock decided to take Agobui to Bow Valley to find out, and Tang Lie, who was also interested in it, followed him very scoundrelly after learning about their plan.
The Valley of the Bow is one of the eleven valleys that refers to the fertile land between Middle-earth and the forests of Comanso.
The Valley is one of the most famous in the history of Ferron, when the humans who migrated here signed a landmark agreement with the Elven Court of Comanso at the height of their power, at the urging of Ilminster.
Since then, the peaceful coexistence of humans and elves has ushered in a turning point in history, and the most common valley reclamation era (DR) on the continent was created to commemorate this moment.
Of course, this is history, and the most famous of today's valleys is of course the Valley of the Shadows, inhabited by Ilminster, which is also the largest gathering place of the Harperists' League.
Sherlock and the others are now going to Bow Valley, a valley closest to Middle-earth, just north of the border between Cormir and Sambia, separated from Arabel by only one Hurek Forest and a Thundering Peak.
This time, Sherlock also had another purpose, which was to explore the temple of Sandakor on the top of Thundering Peak, the route from Hurek Forest last time was not working, and it should be much easier to start from Bow Valley.
It would be a bit of a stretch to get from Susar to Bow Valley without a carriage, especially to bypass the dangerous Hiroze, and with the all-Pro challenge approaching, they had to make repairs in Shenhai Town, the last town before leaving Cormier.
Shenhai Town is the hometown of the two aristocratic families of Cormier Longtai and Thunder Sword, and it is also the end of the trade route, so this small settlement is also quite lively.
However, the most famous thing here is the huge open-air altar of Suren and the Five Good Fish Inn.
The Altar of Suren, the goddess of the moon, doesn't have much appeal to Sherlock, who believes in Mericay and intends to become a Voter of Shandacore, compared to the Five Good Fish Inn, which is where every player must go.
This is because the inn has a famous ale wine, starfish wine, which is said to be made from a type of wheat that grows in saline soil, and has a very unique taste, and because of the scarcity of this wheat, the quantity of this wine is not much every year.
On a stormy and rainy night, Sherlock and his party finally arrived in Shenhai Town.
The Midwinter Festival has passed for so long, and winter is really coming, Shenhai Town is in Middle-earth, the temperature is not low, and even snow will not fall in winter, but under the influence of Longhu, the Mediterranean climate here is very obvious, and in winter, the water vapor from the Falling Star Sea will continue to blow over with the east wind, which will form this rainy weather.
Squeak –
As the wooden door of the inn was pushed open, a group of five people broke in.
"Boss, open three rooms, and then come to six starfish wine, I'll go, I'm about to freeze to death, I knew that I would go offline and wait for the morning to be on the way." As soon as Tang Lie entered the hotel, he ran directly to the stove in the hall and started a fire.
"I don't know who said first that we couldn't wait to drink starfish wine before letting us run all the way in the rain." Zhao Xiaodao's complaint is always so timely.
Immediately after, Sherlock, Buy, and Ai Gao also entered the hotel, and the warm fire instantly dispelled the cold in their bodies.
It's already 10 p.m., and it's almost time for non-functional NPCs to rest at this time in the game, so it's just their group in the hall.
"Hello, I'm the night guard here, you can call me Jalif." A middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle put down six glasses of wine and continued: "We're sorry, our rooms are full, but you can sleep in the hall if you want, I won't charge you for your room." ”
In this kind of ghost weather, no one wants to go out and find other places to live, and it would be nice to have a place to rest, so what else does it matter.
The lobby of the inn is not large, and with a burning fireplace, a background of scarlet and gold, and a few soft armchairs, it gives it a very warm feeling.
Probably the best time to watch a movie, read a book, or play an exciting killing game.
It's just four people, and no matter what, the number is not enough to start the game.
Just as they pondered how to spend the boring night, the door of the inn opened again.
Three figures walked in, and after arguing with Jaliv for a while about the room, they finally chose to stay.
When they took off their heavy cloaks, three equally pale and weak faces appeared before everyone, especially the two children, a man and a woman, as if they had not eaten or slept for a long time.
The three of them took the quilt and snuggled up in a corner of the hall, their eyes full of vigilance and fear as they looked at Sherlock and his group.
"Sherlock, I bet these three aren't normal people." Tang Lie said softly with a little head.
"It's not normal." Others may not have used skills such as reconnaissance because they were afraid of being discovered by the other party, but Sherlock's Truth Horizon had been tested before, and its degree of secrecy was quite high, so he had already seen their attributes as soon as the other party entered the door.
These three people turned out to be all bestial werewolves, and the strange thing was that they were the same as Lupin they had met before, except for the fact that their faces were a little bad, they didn't show any werewolf characteristics at all.
Also, beasts rarely go out of the tribe in general, and it is even rarer to see people like Lupin, and now there are three at once, so it's a bit problematic to think about it.
"Forget it, don't be nosy, it's the all-professional challenge the day after tomorrow." After thinking about it for a while and getting no results, Sherlock gave up on the matter.
