Chapter 172: Echo's News

Coming out of this tavern, Lan Wu followed behind a small tail. Ovira didn't get to the bottom of it, but the look in Lan Wu's eyes was strange.

There's a precedent.

At first, the benefactor was followed by a fifteen or sixteen-year-old Flora, then a thirteen or fourteen-year-old Irene, and then a little more normal, and Claudia in her twenties. Now it seems that it has intensified, and even a ten-year-old girl cannot escape the clutches.

With such a snack item, Lan Wu didn't take it to heart. On this trip to the seaport of Curast, Kashya sent a large sum of gold coins to cover the travel expenses. The Rog Camp Mercenary Guild has grown rapidly, and points have long since replaced gold coins as the currency in circulation. As a result, Camp Rog's gold reserves reached a rather staggering figure.

Finding the largest hotel to live in, Lan Wu handed over the snack to Oviera. This uncle is obviously not the material to inquire about the news, and it is just right to stay and take care of this snack goods. Neither is the Lord who likes to talk.

Leaving the hotel, Ranwu plunged headlong into the taverns in the Kurast harbor. The seaport of Curast is quite bustling. Coupled with the proximity to the Twin Seas, pubs are popular places for consumption all over the streets. Among them, there is a clear difference between professionals and civilians.

Taverns, where professionals hang out, never accept civilians. It's full of the best wines, the finest food, and the dancing girls who come from Lugoin to pan for gold. I have to admit that Lu Gaoyin is very popular with professionals.

And the civilian tavern is much more mediocre. There are only civilians in such a place, and one or two destitute mercenaries may be seen, but no professional people will be seen. The food and drink are also very different. The most expensive is a pot of a few hundred gold coins, and the cheapest one is a large barrel of gold coins, which is enough for several people to drink wildly. Naturally, there are no popular Lu Gaoin dancing girls, and some are just anecdotes circulating in the streets and alleys. No matter who says the previous paragraph, it can attract the attention of many drinkers.

This is the kind of civilian tavern that Lan Wu is looking for. Only here is it easier to find out the whereabouts of the apothecary Echo. Everywhere he went, he spilled a lot of gold coins and immediately won the favor of these civilians. It's rare for a professional adult to be willing to stay with civilians like himself and talk nonsense. So all kinds of gossip and anecdotes rushed into Lan Wu's ears.

The result disappointed Lan Wu. I've heard a lot of interesting news, but not a word about Eco. Turning around one civilian tavern after another, a lot of gold coins were thrown, and in the end nothing was found.

Seeing the lights on, magic lights were lit on the side of the road. In order to enhance the attractiveness of the seaport of Curast, the Council of Kurast deliberately spent a lot of manpower and material resources to make the seaport of Kurast a city that never sleeps.

At the beginning of the day, the civilian tavern was already quiet. After all, civilians need to work and do not have time like professionals. In the evenings, few civilians stayed in the tavern, and they all went home to sleep and refresh themselves for the next day's work.

Unable to find a clue in the civilian tavern, Lan Wu had no choice but to set his sights on the professional tavern. Following the instructions of passers-by, he pushed the door and walked into the largest tavern in the city.

It was lively in the tavern. This is the time when this kind of high-end tavern business is at its most prosperous. The graceful Lu Gaoyin dancer shook her soft waist and released the woman's enthusiasm to the fullest. The professionals in the audience laughed loudly, occasionally jumping on the table to the rhythm and dancing a song.

It was a depraved night.

Lan Wu walked into the tavern called Wild Rose, and at a glance saw a drunken barbarian hugging him left and right, staggering upstairs. It was clear that the barbarian was planning to have a good night.

The arrival of strangers did not attract the attention of the professionals. Only a few professionals glanced at Lan Wu before retracting their gaze. This stranger, though very different, does not mean anything. There are more alternative ones.

"A glass of ale, thank you." Lan Wu sat down at the bar and tapped on the table.

The sturdy tavern owner glanced Lan Wu up and down, turned to pour the wine, and smiled without looking back, "I haven't seen you before." First time to Kurast Harbour? ”

"yes, I just came out of Camp Rog and want to come here to train." Lan Wu is as good as a stream, and successfully plays the role of a professional who has traveled far away.

"Welcome to the seaport of Curast." The tavern owner pushed a full glass of ale in front of Lan Wu, and smiled kindly: "This glass, I please." ”

"Thank you." Lan Wu picked up the wine glass, took a big sip, smacked his lips, and praised: "Good wine." ”

This good wine is obviously very popular with the tavern owner. He laughed and said confidently: "It's not that I boast, in the entire Kurast seaport, only I have the best wine here." Except, of course, for those members of parliament. ”

"To hell with those councillors." One of the druids next to him was obviously drunk and got carried away and shouted, "Hey, boss, have another drink." ”

The tavernkeeper glanced at him, ignoring him. Soon the druid was sent out of the tavern by two people, one left and one right, half-dragged and half-dragged away. The tavern owner smiled indifferently: "Everyone is welcome in my shop, but drunkards are not welcome." That would get me in trouble. And I don't like trouble. ”

"I don't like trouble, either." Lan Wu laughed, drank the glass of wine in one go, and then pushed the empty wine glass to the tavern owner: "Good wine, another glass." ”

The tavern owner smiled and poured Lan Wu another full glass. After a few words, the two became acquainted. Taking advantage of the good atmosphere, Lan Wu took the opportunity to inquire about Echo's news. Knowing that he was looking for Eco to make a special potion, the tavernkeeper shook his head and said, "I suggest you find another apothecary. Mistress Eco is mysterious. No one knows her whereabouts. ”

"But I've heard Lord Akara say that only Eco can make this special potion." Lan Wu intentionally or unintentionally reported Akara's name. In such a place, the name of Acala is obviously more convincing. The fame of the Eye of the Mind has long spread throughout the human world.

"You've got guidance from Lord Akara." The tavern owner looked surprised.

"I'm a professional from Camp Roger." Lan Wu laughed.

"Oh, I actually ignored that." The tavern owner was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Since it is Lord Akara's guidance, it must be right." However, I would suggest that it is better not to get your hopes up too much. Mistress Eco will only take the initiative to seek out you. You can't find her at all. ”

"There really can't be helped?" Lan Wu's expression was a little depressed, and he muttered half-truths.

"Uh......" The tavernkeeper hesitated for a moment, then said in embarrassment, "There are many rumors about Lord Eco. But no one was able to confirm it. ”

After a pause, he pointed with his chin to a barbarian who was twisting his ass on the table not far away, and added, "A few days ago this barbarian said that he saw those filthy and damn dwarfs in the vast wetlands and the natives had taken a woman. He also swore that it was definitely Lord Eco. ”

As he spoke, he smiled first, "Hehe, no one believes that Lord Eco will be captured by those dwarf natives. Of course I don't believe it either. He must have read it wrong. ”

"No one confirmed the woman's identity?" Lan Wu became serious. Here's a clue. Before it was confirmed, it was very likely that the woman who was taken away was really the pharmacist Eco. A huge wetland, not a place that ordinary civilian women could reach. If it were a professional, it would be impossible for the barbarian not to see it.

"Uh...... I haven't heard of a woman missing. The tavern keeper hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Do you think what he said is true?" ”

"It's possible." Lan Wu nodded and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Whether it's really Lord Eco or not, I have to go and see it." This potion is so important to me. ”

"Do you want me to call him over for you, and you can talk to him yourself? You know, it's going to come at a little bit of a cost. "The tavern owner was very helpful, obviously not the first time he had been a middleman.

"Okay, call him for me. I spoke to him personally. Lan Wu nodded happily as he took out a bag of gold coins and pushed it in front of the tavern owner. Being a middleman naturally wants to be paid. Be a little more bold and you'll definitely get extra benefits.

Sure enough, the tavernkeeper's face grew even stronger when he heard the heavy feeling of the bag of gold coins falling on the table. He took the gold coin, walked over himself, and dragged the barbarian down. Lan Wu saw him say a few words in the barbarian's ear, and raised his hand to point at himself again. The barbarian immediately walked in this direction.

"I'm Dracula the Barbarian." The barbarian walked up to Lan Wu, briefly introduced himself, and immediately asked impatiently, "Do you want me to take you to those dwarfs' territory?" ”

Lan Wu nodded, and did not hide it: "The woman who was captured by the dwarf may be Lord Echo. I need Mistress Eco to make a special potion for me. So the owner recommended you to me. Just take me there and I'll pay you to your satisfaction. ”

"You also think that woman is Eco?" Dracula the Barbarian was in high spirits. No one believed his speculation, and now someone did, and he immediately came to the interest.

"The reward is easy to say, just give some points, equipment, gold coins don't matter." Dracula squeezed away the pro in the seat next to him and excitedly shouted, "I'll team up with you." I'll take you to that place. Let's find the woman together. I'm going to let them know they're wrong. By the way, what is your profession? ”

"Mage." Lan Wu thought for a while, honestly reported the most powerful profession at the moment, and then added: "I also have a companion, a good paladin. ”

"Alright, let's team up. Where are your companions? Dracula happily pulled Lan Wu to conclude a team contract. The combination of tactics and standards, is too perfect.

"He's still at the hotel." Lan Wu couldn't laugh or cry. This barbarian is too enthusiastic.

"So what are you waiting for, let's go." Dracula pulled out a few gold coins, slapped them on the bar, and dragged Lan Wu out of the tavern.

Lan Wu was speechless. Well, this barbarian is not too enthusiastic, but too anxious. (To be continued.) )
