Chapter 12: Tavern Rumors
Under the light of the morning light, the wharf of Xiliu City was as noisy as ever. (Book = - house * 0 small -} say -+ net)
Treant's dowry tavern.
The shouts of those men were incessant, even in the early morning, and they did not abate at all. Affected by the coastal unrest, more and more adventurers began to flock here, and as a famous tavern in the dock area, the business of Old One-Eye became more and more prosperous.
Rhodes said goodbye to Guth Town early in the morning and returned to Westflow City.
The wilderness at night is very dangerous, and Rhodes is reluctant to take advantage of the darkness of the night unless necessary, and in a city like Weststream City, which has a lot of people, it is common for Weststream City to impose a curfew outside the dock area when it is night.
Unofficial persons or soldiers caught wandering around the city at night would be caught and given 10 sticks and fined a certain amount, the second 20 sticks would be doubled, and the third would be hanged.
Only in the chaotic docklands, where many ships visit the docks at night, the entire docklands are generally open at night under the light of the lighthouse corner.
But because of this.
Many people will often find that some drunk and unlucky people will be stripped naked and thrown there in an alley the next morning, and even when the order is a little chaotic, there will often be people who find corpses in the stinky ditch the next day.
Don't think that the curfew is a stupid act to ban the night market.
In fact.
In this era of extreme force, curfews are a necessity for these large cities.
Taking Xiliu City as an example, due to the continuous war in the coastal area, a large number of people began to pour into the second-tier port, and many adventurers, thieves and robbers will also follow one after another.
What's more, in some places there have even been vicious incidents of attacks on patrol soldiers.
"Eh, man, have you heard, there seems to be a dragon near Grizzly Bear Hills, and the Herman family is recruiting powerful adventurers to explore Grizzly Bear Hills!"
A rumor caught Rhodes' attention.
At this time, Rhodes had just come out of the city mission hall and disposed of some of the trophies of the trip at the Dryad's Dowry Tavern, where he had chosen to order a glass of rum to hear the latest news.
"Cut! The appearance of dragons is not a big news now, this year, I heard that the Fishfield Federation and the Duchy of Alset on the Salt Coast have done it, and the rich bigwigs of the Fishland Federation have even hired the legendary mages of the Santarin Society to lose several strategic magic! A drunken man yelled.
A strong man on the other side also answered.
"The Duchy of Alset is not false! Others have signed a military pact with us Varesian, and the legendary mechanic they have feared the enemy off our shores is said to have returned the aid the other day. ”
"! Listen to Lao Tzu, do you know the female president of the Levi Asan Chamber of Commerce? Hehe, it's the red-haired female president with good legs and a butt, I heard that for the recent overseas development of the Carson Chamber of Commerce, I had a secret conversation with the president of the Carson Chamber of Commerce for most of the night yesterday! According to the grapevine, the woman left the back door and returned in a carriage with disheveled clothes and a ruddy complexion......"
A lewd man with a flushed face said triumphantly.
"No, it won't! I heard that the president of the Carson Chamber of Commerce is a big fat man of more than 200 pounds, hehe, can the female president of the Levi Asan Chamber of Commerce carry the thin skin and tender meat? Some of the sailors were smiling and passing on obscene peach scandals.
in the corner.
Rod's glass of rum had bottomed out.
Although there was a lot of information in the tavern and it was cluttered, Rhodes heard some of the more useful information.
Such as.
The shadow of a dragon has appeared near the Grizzly Hills, and it seems that the Herman family of the Emerald Collar is recruiting a large number of adventurers.
And also.
It also seems to be influenced by the Emerald Collar, and the wilderness monsters near Xiliu City have been infested with a bit of a lot recently, and Xiliu City has increased its hunting efforts for monsters, and the frequent issuance of hunting orders has also led to many adventurers deciding to stay in Xiliu City to make a profit.
Of course, there are some news that interests Rhodes a lot.
For example, a new Sunset mercenary group at the Lighthouse Corner has been making a lot of noise lately, they have exterminated five or six waves of monsters in a week, and its leader is a handsome half-elf little white face.
and some of the more violent combat groups, such as the more famous Iron Sword Mercenary Regiment on the Salt Coast, which seems to have recently settled in Weststream City......
Messages like that.
Rod did learn about some of the future celebrities.
From these scattered news, Rod at least knew that there seemed to be some unevenness on the side of Grizzly Hill, and as for Xiliu City, it seemed to be a little too quiet.
Rod didn't believe that the young Lord of Weststream would be indifferent to the news of his old rival.
It is estimated that some secret actions have begun to be arranged.
Rhodes knew very well that the shadow of the stormy city that had been carried out in the southwest coast of the Salt Coast many years ago was currently lurking in the city of Weststream.
The excellent assassin "Spider" cultivated by the Shadow Society seems to have some unclear relationship with the young nobleman.
But he could already have predicted it.
The new owner of Xiliu City was by no means a peaceful person, and since the news from the Jade Collar had already appeared in the tavern, that person must have already paid attention to it, and the current calm was just the calm before the storm.
I continued to listen for a while.
Rod walked slowly out of the tavern, his brow furrowed as if he was thinking about something, and he made a name for himself, and he muttered as he walked, "I don't think there are any famous dragons on the other side of Grizzly Hill...... If I'm not mistaken, in the early days, the place seemed to be famous because of a ruin...... It seems to be the result of the creation of some epic piece of equipment......"
He really couldn't remember what had happened here in Grizzly Hills.
When Titus completed the rise of Weststream, Rhodes was looking for treasure in a desert ruins in the east, but he vaguely remembered that this place seemed to have been famous for some epic piece of equipment.
Judging by the news in the tavern, the entire Salt Coast region has become more and more chaotic.
The legendary forces have frequently appeared to fight, and Rhodes also has a sense of urgency in his heart, according to the original time trajectory, there will be a small-scale phenomenon of the fall of the gods into the kingdom of God soon, and the chaos will be more serious at that time.
"Now that Xiliu City has issued a hunting order, it should be an opening order soon, so hurry up!" After thinking about it carefully, Rhodes already had a preliminary idea of what he would do in the coming period.
While thinking about things and hurrying, after a while, Rhodes arrived at his destination.
The City of Westflow is located in the area of the Temple Church in a corner of the Inner Sanctum City.
