Chapter 016. A system that hasn't been seen for a long time
The Sea Lance Tavern is now a trusted place in the outer harbor of Grey Mist, and the most basic security work is of course a must. Of course, for the group of ocean-going merchants who are not bad for money, they will not wake up the next day and find that the crazy girl from last night has swept away all their money, which is also a thing that is strictly forbidden in the Sea Lance Tavern.www.biquge.info The extra basic services, such as hot water, a tasty breakfast, and an on-call attendant, are also one of the important reasons why the Sea Lance Tavern is so well-known in the Outer Harbor of the Grey Mist.
When he came to his usual room, Levi sat down on the bed that had been tidied up, and casually took off the half-new trench coat that he was wearing outside and threw it on the hanger on the side, and the cowhide belt with four flintlock pistols was also thrown by him at the head of the bed, but it was also within reach. Despite the Sea Lance Tavern's reputation for safety and security, the elder Morton was a trustworthy owner, but it didn't hurt to be on your toes.
This is also the Sea Lance Tavern in Grey Mist City, if he stays in an unfamiliar tavern or place, let alone the four flintlock pistols on his waist, even if it is his usual scimitar, he must always carry it with him. This world is not the modern society with excellent security on the earth, but a combination of the Middle Ages and the Age of Discovery, as well as a fantasy setting of this world, danger will appear almost anytime and anywhere, which is also an important conclusion that Levi has come to this world for three years, never lose his vigilance, and never trust anyone, even old friends who have struggled for more than ten years.
It's not that Levi lives the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, even if there were friends and relatives on the earth who turned against each other for the sake of interests in his previous life, in this semi-free society without social pressure and the interference of powerful institutions such as the state and the government, how can he stop the shady phenomenon of stabbing in the back for some interests? If there are enough interests, I am afraid that even brothers who fight side by side can become the deepest enemies in an instant.
The black-gray half-worn trench coat was retrieved by Levi on the bed, and the velvet money bag in his pocket was held in the palm of his hand along with his fingers. It was the spoils of war left over from the defeat of the Koutao Fishmen, but for Levi, it was the culprit that could put him in a state of no return. He didn't even dare to show Old Moulton, the most trusted old man in the world, out of the vigilance of the traverser, or the fear of his own safety.
"Dangdangdang."
The velvet money bag in his hand was still pondering, and the sound of a soft knock on the door was heard in his ears. Levi immediately came to his senses, and backhanded the velvet money bag into the sheets, although it was still a bulging mass, but he couldn't tell what it was. At the same time, the respectful voice of the previous thug came from outside the door: "Mr. Levi, the bath water you need has been delivered, I wonder if it can be delivered into the room now?" ”
"Of course, please come in." Levi immediately nodded in response, and as the door opened, the thug who was guarding the staircase on the third floor walked in first, lowered his head and didn't cut around, just waved his hand behind him, and the two sturdy middle-aged women also lowered their heads and carefully supported a flat pole, and sent a large wooden barrel tied in the middle into the room slowly, slowly settled along the corner of the wall, and did not say much or look more, and immediately left silently with their heads down.
"If you have any orders, just call us at the top of the stairs."
The thug smiled and nodded, and took the initiative to remove the lid of the large wooden barrel, which was nearly a man high, and gently retreated with the rising heat. Although his task was to take care of the basic security of the third floor, he also had to offer his kindness to the wealthy and powerful merchants, although he did not need to show such a compliment, but he could not stand the young man in front of him, but the owner of this tavern, the fellow that old Morton admired the most.
Moreover, Li Wei's humble attitude had already been famous in the Sea Spear Tavern, unlike those high-ranking merchants, who did not hesitate to call them around, as if they were treated equally, and even reaped the gratitude that only the superior people in their eyes had, which was enough to make them willing to serve Li Wei. But thinking of old Moulton's kind and kind appearance to this young man, these thugs who had been with him for more than ten years couldn't help but tremble in their hearts, this was not like the old guy who had once crossed the Roaring Sea, but really like an old man who opened a tavern, and this attitude also made them more and more frightened.
The group of high-ranking nobles in Grey Mist City, who didn't know how murderous this cunning old guy in the outer harbor was when he was young? And this group of thugs who have been following old Morton to Gray Mist City since Crash Bay, as long as they think of what this old guy did at the beginning, their legs can't help but tremble, and the once vicious reputation makes their hearts tremble even now, and for Levi, who is optimistic about old Morton, they are more willing to make themselves appear more and more respectful.
"It's so comfortable, it's completely different from the cold sea."
However, in the room, Levi had already pulled the curtain for shading, and his body that had been stripped of his clothes was gently submerged into the big wooden barrel, and with the warm bath water wrapping his whole body, Levi, who was sitting cross-legged, couldn't help but lean on the back of the big wooden barrel, exhaled deeply, and lifted the warm bath water to his hair with his hand and let it slip down, and sighed very comfortably: "I really want to lie here quietly for the rest of my life." ”
It has been nearly three years since I came to this world, and the panic and excitement of crossing at the beginning have turned into the dullness and exhaustion of life today. No matter where you are, it is a society, and if you want to integrate into this world and society, you need to make unremitting efforts on your own. And the hard work of nearly three years couldn't help but make Li Wei show a wry smile, leaning on the thick wooden barrel wall with the back of his head, slowly shaking his head and saying with a wry smile: "But Goldfinger, compared to other traversers, why is it so troublesome?" ”
As a time-traveler, Levi naturally has his own golden finger, from one of the hottest strategy and tactics games on the planet - "Empire: Total War" system. But the game he carried, except for the merchant ship that gave him when he first came to this world, that is, the Arab Devo merchant ship that he now relied on for survival, was like running out of energy, and there was no sound at all, if it weren't for a few unclear prompts like ghosts from time to time, almost this golden finger would be as if it had failed, and in fact, in the past three years, there was no difference from invalidation.
Stretched out his hand and rubbed his head, the warm bath water made Levi's spirit also very relaxed, but his eyes still swept the space around him that had been covered by the curtain, and after making sure that he didn't find anything unusual, he took out a light blue velvet money bag from the bath water in the wooden barrel, and Levi gently reached out to hold the money bag, and the heavy weight also showed that the things contained in it were not light and thin.
"So, what is it that can get the attention of the game system?"
Levi squinted lightly at the velvet money bag in his hand, and his fingers deftly pulled the rope that was also woven of velvet, and a trace of golden yellow was already rippling in the large wooden barrel with the waves of water. And Levi's heart couldn't help beating slightly, he already knew that it was a gold coin that he had never seen or heard in this world, but the soft female voice that appeared inexplicably in his ears made his spirit tense instantly, and he gasped deeply and said silently: "The prompt sound of the game system!" ”
Because when Levi's fingers touched the yellow glowing gold coin in the money bag, the system prompt that had almost forgotten had already appeared quite abruptly in his ears. Levi turned the velvet money bag upside down with his backhand, and five gold coins that shimmered with golden halos in the waves and sunlight had appeared in the palm of his hand, and a series of mysterious carvings were also engraved on them, which also made the soft female voice in Levi's mind appear repeatedly.
"Ding... Does the discovery of energy sources allow the system to be transformed? ”
