Chapter IX News

Because of the relationship between using the token to enter the world of Torrell, Qin Lun and the three of them lost the mission guidance of the shattered starry sky.

However, these three guys have grown up rapidly and have received gold-level mission evaluations many times, so Shattered Star still gives a little plot clue at their drop-off location.

It's like Qin Lun's drop-off place, that underground sewer network. This network of waterways connects many underground dens of the Baldur's Gate Black Order, and there are many side plots that can be cut into.

However, they were a little less lucky, and only found the secret temple of the Ambori Church. Because the Spicy Queen was too cold and unscrupulous, they really didn't want to face it head-on at the beginning, so the three of them deliberately didn't touch the moldy head of Ambory's church.

Otherwise, if they dig deeper, they may be able to find out why the Ambori Church has set up an underground temple in the city, which is obviously an important clue about the situation of Baldur's Gate, a large port metropolis.

As for the place where Rand and Hill put them - the Oak Barrel Tavern, there is naturally such a plot thread. If the three of them only had a faint feeling before, then now Qin Lun is very sure that this clue is on the drunken drunkard in front of him.

Of course, the hint of the shattered starry sky is subtle enough, and if the trio don't choose to return to the barrel tavern, then this plot line will not be able to unfold.

"How many guests, do you know this guy?" A hint of surprise flashed in the waitress's eyes, and at the same time she was a little delighted, and she had a good eyesight to beg for a living in a place like the Oak Barrel Tavern all year round.

Although the three in front of her were dressed in ordinary clothes, they were generous in tipping, and they were so familiar with the complex environment of the barrel tavern that she could guess that even if their faces were relatively unfamiliar, they should be mercenaries or adventurers.

Such people are usually not too stingy when they have a lot of money. The drunkard owes the tavern many days of food and travel, and if she can help the tavern owner get it back, she will also get a commission.

Qin Lun didn't answer the waitress immediately, but squatted down to help the drunkard sort out his appearance.

Although the drunkard described him as sloppy, his eyes were closed in a drowsy manner, and the beard on his chin had not been taken care of for many days, and he looked like a mess of grass. But on closer inspection, this person is actually not very old, it is estimated that he is about thirty years old at most, or even less than thirty years old.

His clothes, though stained and torn in many places, were a delicately crafted waistcoat with a flare-laced silk shirt, bloomers, and dirty riding boots.

If you add a cashmere coat and a pocket watch on a chain, you'll be a standard gentleman. Perhaps he owed so much wine in the barrel tavern, and it was the boss who looked at his aristocratic dress.

However, if he fails to repay his debts many times, no matter how good his skin is, he will not be able to help him anymore. At least now the owner and waiter of the tavern have apparently lost their patience. If Qin Lun and the others hadn't come over, this guy would have been stripped naked and drowned in a dark sewage ditch somewhere.

"Help us prepare two suites, take this guy to clean it by the way, and come to sue us when he wakes up." Qin Lun commanded the two male waiters with big shoulders and round waists.

The two waitresses gave each other a look, and deliberately looked at the waitress with a look of embarrassment. The little people have the wisdom of the little people, and of course they know what to do in such a situation.

"Guests, you're sorry for us, this kid already owes the tavern......" The waitress said with a frown.

"We'll pay off the credit for him, he's one of our former employers. Since we met here, we can't ignore him. Qin Lun smiled and interrupted the waitress's words.

Rand and Hill glanced at each other, and the fireworks duly took out two silver coins from their pockets and handed them to the two male attendants with drunkards. Ciel, on the other hand, smiled and patted the wooden stool, motioned for the maid to sit beside him, and secretly slipped a gold coin of the goddess into her palm.

"Tell us about his recent situation and what happened to him that made him what he is now."

The waitress glanced down at the golden light revealed between her fingers, and suddenly said with a smile: "That rotten ...... Your friend came to the tavern a month ago, and he had a pretty good caravan. Baldur's Gate takes good care of such caravans from afar, and I have heard that his goods are selling well......"

The maid paused as she spoke, clutching the gold coin in her hand and looking at the three of them expectantly.

"Beautiful young lady, greed is not a good habit." Qin Lun and the three of them looked at each other and smiled, and Hill took out another gold coin and shook it, but he didn't give it to her immediately, "Let's be specific, this is the last." ”

"After he finished the sale, the caravan was going to leave. Later, however, he seemed to hear a certain news, and stayed in the tavern again, and after a few days, he found a few mercenaries and went out of the city again. I don't know what they ran into in the wilderness, and when they came back, he was the only one left, and then he ...... I kept drinking and became like this. The waitress smirked.

"Any idea what he's been talking about?" Rand asked cautiously.

"I don't know, he didn't tell anyone in the tavern." The waitress pursed her lips and spread her hands, "He doesn't care, but the old butler beside him is very cautious, and often reminds him of his manners, words and deeds. If the old man was still here, I don't think he would be what he is now. ”

"Do you still recognize the mercenaries who went out with him, what do they look like?" Hill asked with a frown.

"It's not very common for them to come to the tavern, it seems like they're newcomers who haven't been at Baldur's Gate for a few months." The waitress tilted her head and recalled, "However, some of the old mercenaries in the tavern used to make small talk, and the strength of those mercenaries seemed to be very strong, especially a silver-haired female elf and a red-haired female knight who always carried a large cloth bag. ”

"Elistine......" Qin Lun's palm tightened, and he asked with a frown, "Give me a detailed description of the appearance of that female elf." ”

"I can't tell." The waitress had a wry smile on her face, "She always has some colorful oil paint on her face, as if she doesn't want people to see her face clearly." However, some lewd guys said that she must be a big beauty, and the oil paint on her face was related to the battle position or something, and I didn't care too much. ”

"You can't be wrong...... It should be Elistin, then the other red-haired female knight is a disciple of Lady Lauvita - Idria! Why didn't they go north with Milleras? Qin Lun lowered his head and whispered to himself, no longer paying attention to what the maid said next.

Hill glanced at Qin Lun, who was deep in thought, and turned his head to continue to inquire about the waitress. However, the maid could not give much useful information at this point, and finally took the gold coins and was sent away by him.

"That...... The elf named Elistine was your friend from your last adventure? Ciel and Rand waited for Qin Lun to come back from his contemplation, then looked at him with a smile on their faces and blinked.

The so-called friend's statement, Hill is already very subtle. The five killers often tease and joke with each other, but there are two things they always enjoy. The first is to guess the shepherd's usual three meal rations, and the second is the many romantic debts that Qin Lun owes in the mission world.

Hill is older and a self-proclaimed Catholic, and he has no interest in women. Rand died of his wife and daughter in his early years, and he never got out of the trauma. From time to time, Disciple Hansen would have some fun in the entertainment area of the Devil's Horn, but that was only for physical purposes.

As for Grant the Clown, I don't want to mention it, that guy doesn't seem to have emotional intelligence at all. When he sees a beautiful creature, the general thought is to make a mask fragment, lust or something, and to him it is a floating cloud.

Only Qin Lun is different, several other killers have heard him contact with the plot beauties or beautiful apostles of a certain mission world more than once, and the strength of these beauties is still very strong.

Hill once joked that even if Qin Lun didn't find a few of them to form a group, as long as he gathered all the big beauties who had an ambiguous relationship with him, he would be able to form a team of apostles that was both eye-catching and powerful.

"Elistin is the elven druid I mentioned to you before, after entering this world, I originally thought that after such a long time, she either went to Yongju Island with the Sun Elf envoys, or she had already returned to the Anker Elven Court, but I didn't expect that she was still at Baldur's Gate a month ago." Qin Lun said calmly.

"Could it be related to you?" Hill and Rand looked at each other and asked meaningfully.

"No......" Qin Lun shook his head, but he was a little hesitant in his heart.

The last time Qin Lun withdrew from the world of Torrell at Baldur's Gate, it was roughly the beginning of summer, and it was already the autumn of 1355 in the valley calendar, with an interval of more than three months.

If Elistin and Idria had appeared here a month ago, then it was possible that they had stayed at Baldur's Gate for more than two months after Qin Lun and the other apostles had withdrawn from the mission world.

The Sun Elf Prince Milleras had a heavy responsibility and could never have stayed here for so long. Emily Silverhand, a descendant of Queen Silvermoon, and her magic teacher Angelo, as well as the dwarven prince Lorraine, also have their own missions and will certainly not stay.

Although Illistin is strong, he has little contact with the human world, and even with Idria, it is difficult to tolerate the lifestyle of a human city. Qin Lun didn't think that she had the ability to live in Baldur's Gate for more than two months, but there was always a thought that popped up in her heart and told him that it was possible.

"Anyway, when that guy wakes up in the evening, we'll know the general situation." Qin Lun said with some uncertainty.

"By the way, we don't know what that drunkard has to do with you?" Rand asked in surprise, "You didn't seem to have mentioned to us that there was such a guy before you entered Torreel, and it seems that he doesn't look like a beautiful woman dressed as a man......"

"Poof! Ahem...... Qin Lun squirted out all the wine he had just drunk into his mouth, and couldn't help but be annoyed, "That guy's name is Seaver Hulan, he is a noble young master, and we used to accept his employment from the Chamber of Commerce in order to hide our identity...... Who do you think of me? ”

Hill and Rand looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.
