Chapter 11: The Old "Acquaintance" Who Became Interested in Wealth
"Oh, a few adults, please, I'll prepare a sumptuous snack and a good room for you right away!"
Old Forts looked at the pouch in his hand that emitted a pleasant sound of coins colliding, and the old face suddenly smiled, and he rushed into the back kitchen of the tavern like a young man in his twenties, and jingled to work.
Yacoste almost burst out laughing when he saw the other party like this.
The other party doesn't know if he has been oppressed for too long and is now a little crazy or has always been so naïve, if old Forts is the latter, then it is difficult for Acoste to imagine how he survived in the Feron Continent in the past few decades......
Can he feel at ease with this money?
Now the three of them are sitting here, and when they are gone, those vicious adventurers will probably not even have a bone left for him.
In the slums of Askatra, even if you give a five-year-old child a gold coin, he won't accept it, because he knows full well that if he does, he won't survive that night.
This kind of thing is very common on the continent of Faerun, but many people don't know such a simple and crude truth, especially those holy warriors and Templars, they don't know how many things they think are good things they do every day, but after they leave, they don't know how many innocent poor people pay for them.
Acoste didn't remind Salina of these things, anyway, the old man didn't know him, damn it's all fate, I still don't want to help him change his life......
A few simple dishes were quickly delivered, including stir-fried beef brisket with potatoes and potato soup. The stew in a stone pot prepared half a head of fresh pork for Tyson, who didn't know how long it had been stored. No way, you don't want to taste fresh vegetables and seafood at all in this kind of place. Those ingredients that do not have a long shelf life are not dared to be eaten by every tavern owner.
The person in charge of serving the food was a young boy, it was obvious that he was the grandson of old Fortes, he looked at the three of Acoster timidly, obviously the little boy saw the bloody scene that happened outside the tavern earlier, but the other party was also a little man, he shook his arms to put the dishes together, and then left the tavern lobby without looking back.
The Acoste didn't care, and just ate together, until a group of people who looked like mercenaries walked into the tavern.
"Acoste?!"
A male voice asked in a tone of surprise. Hearing this, the Half-Elf Sword Saint raised his head and found a guy with a distinctly hooked nose staring at him.
The more Acoste looked at the other man, the more familiar he became, especially since there were several equally weathered companions behind him.
Aren't these people the same members of their original Tuck Town militia, Mad Dog Livingston?
Since that time in Belgost because of the appearance of demons, they have each embarked on different journeys.
The Half-Elven Swordmaster and the Little Girl follow the Legion of the Priesthood back to their town to fight the demons, while Livingston and the others choose to move on, looking for a place where they can live again.
Acoste didn't hold a grudge against them, after all, Tuk Town was not their parent, and they had no reason to risk their lives to fight.
I didn't expect them to come back here to beg for a living......
"What a coincidence. I didn't expect you to be there. The corners of the half-elf sword master's mouth curled slightly, it seemed that they were very poorly mixed, and the group was still low-level professionals, and this strength could only go to the town to apply for the patrol.
"yes. I didn't expect to meet you either. Mad Dog sat across from Acoste, an act that made Mavi and Salina frown, but Acoste, who was sitting in the middle, didn't say anything.
"Big brother. You've been mixing well lately, and this meal will cost at least 2 gold coins to eat here at Old Forts. We usually eat some brown bread and expired pork to fill our stomachs. ”
In Livingston, Wharton Jr.'s "old acquaintances" saw a few plates of hearty food on the table. Immediately, like a wolf, he grabbed it directly with his hands, and several other half-elf sword saints who were not masked saw that the mad dog was taking the lead, and they also scrambled with their hands to grab it.
Acoste smiled, he hooked his hand to call old Forts, and threw him another bag of gold coins from his space bag, which made the old man in the tavern happy, and he immediately understood what the other party meant, and ran to the back kitchen to take out all the remaining food in the tavern.
Today I met a local tyrant, this bag of gold coins is several times more than all the money he has earned by opening a tavern so far, with this money, he can take his little grandson to leave the land of death, this ghost place, I heard that there is a new territory called Starry Night Territory in West Hartland in the south, which is good, civilized and orderly, and the residents are rich, he can take the little boy to live there.
"Wow...... have you made a fortune Acoste?" Livingston naturally saw the other party's generous side, joking, it's not that he hasn't seen so much money since he was 15 years old, but he has never seen someone take out this money so easily......
"Hehe, it's okay, I just took a few small bucks because of a few adventures." The Half-Elf Sword Saint said lightly, his eyes flashing with a cold light when others weren't paying attention to him.
Those mercenaries were whispering after seeing themselves take out the gold coins, and they kept making eye contact, do you really think I am blind or deaf?
But the half-elf sword master was still unmoved, he was looking forward to what kind of move the other party would make.
Sure enough, after someone pulled the sleeve of the mad dog Livingston, the guy followed the half-elf with an unnatural expression.
"Did you know that there is a treasure buried deep in the Land of the Dead, which is said to have been made from the condensed hedron in its skull by a mid-level legendary professional who killed a Tyrannosaurus with the rank of a legendary creature?"
"And we just found out the location of this place from a group of people, you, you see if you want to come, we just happened to go on an adventure together!"
As soon as Livingston finished speaking, Acoste couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Just kidding, burying it in the depths of the desert is obviously a jewel, a shadow orb from the shadow plane that can turn mortals into the legendary shadow physique, like several princes and city lords living in the city of the underworld, with thousands of years of lifespan, the affinity of black magic, and first-class escape kung fu.
Now that you're telling me that it's a jade made of tyrannosaurus spar, Acoste really wants to ask Livingston if he's read too many novels...... (To be continued.) )
