Chapter 12: The Half-Elf and the Owl Coins
"噯~噯噯~噯嗳~~~"
When Rob saw that he had arrived in Dalion, he was sitting in the far corner of the tavern and sighing, as if he had nothing to love when he was drinking to kill his sorrows.
His Excellency the future Ultra Magister frowned as he walked over, "Is this place safe?"
"It's not safe, the owner of this tavern is a friend of mine, and I saved his life in the early years, but as long as the price is right, this bastard will still sell me, so I asked you to wear a cloak when you come over, well, wait a minute, after drinking this cup, I will settle the account with him and we will talk in another place." ”
D'Ardarion sighed and drank the wheat wine in his hand, adding this glass, and there were already eight empty wine glasses in front of him.
Rob looked at the half-elf named Golden behind the bar, who was also the owner of this tavern, like all elves, half-elves also had a handsome appearance, and pointed ears that were different from humans, but their appearance also contained more human features, Golden was wiping the glass at the moment, sensing the gaze that fell on him, and looked up at the magister and smiled, " One of the most important things I learned during my travels in the Dwarven Kingdom in the early years was not to quarrel with an alcoholic, especially if he was still bothering about women's affairs. ”
D'Addarion said with a straight face, "Interesting, really interesting, you even learned to read minds without seeing Golden for a long time." ”
The half-elf shrugged his shoulders and stacked the polished glass in his hand on top of the others.
The man snorted coldly, "We still have a lot of accounts, who fished you out last time you were caught by the guards as a smuggler, and how did you, a white-eyed wolf, repay me, and actually helped a group of strangers trick the vice president of our association into a dangerous place." ”
Golden turned around and took out a bottle of wine from the cabinet behind him, uncorked it, poured it into the empty wine glass in front of D'Ardarion, and said with a wry smile, "Boss, then what do you say I can do, I just eat this mouthful, this tavern is opened here to help Gudeis's various forces pass on the news, to find people, I can also earn some hard-earned money from the middle to support my family, since the other side paid me real money, I can't work without help, otherwise wouldn't I smash my own signboard?" Besides, at that time, President Lilith was so well disguised, just like your friend now, how could I recognize it. ”
As soon as D'Artagion looked up, the glass of wine was gone.
The half-elf sighed, "Boss D'Ardarion, if you don't believe me, I can't help it, when I realized that Your Excellency the Venerable Magician is likely to be in danger next, I contacted you as soon as possible, to be reasonable, I have actually violated the rules of our industry by doing this, if this matter is known by the brothers on the road, who will dare to come to the green cat's eye to find me Golden in the future?"
"Hmph, wouldn't it be much better if Gudris's security in this little tavern went out of business, so that you could be considered to have contributed to the city, and maybe you could go to the garrison to apply for an honorary citizen or something. D'Ardarion tapped the glass with his index finger, and then Golden obediently helped him fill the glass again.
D'Ardarion drank it again, then put his glass on the bar and staggered from his seat, "We're not done, I'll get down to business first, and I'll come back to you." ”
The half-elf couldn't help but jump his eyelids when he heard this, "Don't do it, no one dares to come to me to do business here these days, and I will starve to death in two days, President D'Ardarion, don't you just want to drink without spending money, I'll send a barrel, oh no, three barrels of my treasured red wine to your office, do you think?"
The man shook his head like a rattle, "Don't send the office, the office is terrible, I won't go back, don't go back, Golden, if you still have a free basement, lend me to sleep for a while." ”
The half-elf took out another empty cup, poured a glass of wine for Rob beside him, and sighed, "Man, what a strange animal, I don't want to go home when I don't have a woman, I still don't want to go home when I have a woman, if I have a beautiful wife waiting for me at home, I won't sleep in someone else's basement anyway." ”
Rob took the glass and thanked him, then asked the guy in front of him, "What did I miss, how did you become married after not seeing you for a few days?"
"This ...... It's a long story, but let's deal with the matter at hand. D'Ardarion sighed, "Golden, is the room I booked ready?" ”
"Of course. The half-elf pulled out a coin engraved with an owl from his waist, "You know, follow the right-hand hand side all the way to the head, and give this coin to the maroon-haired lady by the wall who drinks alone, and she will give you the address and key, and you can always order if you need it." ”
"Welcome to the black world of Guderis. "D'Artagion handed the coin to Rob," Owl coins, issued by the bosses of the green cat's eye, are of course not legal, but they are very useful in the black world, the exchange rate has been fluctuating, and the amount of underground activities during this period of time is linked, in short, if the smuggling in Gudries City has been rampant in recent times, the gang is serious, the theft is frequent, and the killers are ready to move, the owl coin will follow the rising tide, because it means that the number of people who need services is increasing, but if the world is peaceful and everyone is safe, then the green cat's eye has no business, and this thing is naturally worthless, generally speaking, the exchange rate between owl coins and gold coins is about ten to sixteenAt the craziest time, someone on the black market even offered a sky-high price of fifty gold coins to buy an owl coin. ”
"Well, you're talking about the bosses?" rob grasped the point of Dardarion's words.
"Yes, in the eyes of outsiders, the green cat's eye is Golden's, but in fact, there is more than one owner behind this tavern, Golden is just one of them, and he is also the smallest boss, he is mainly responsible for finding someone to match things like that, I asked you to meet here today is also to introduce you to each other, and you can come directly to him if you need this in the future, but remember, this guy is not reliable, you can ask him for help but never treat him as your friend, otherwise he will sell you if he changes hands." ”
The half-elf sighed and reached out to shake Rob's hand, "Boss D'Addarion seems to have some kind of stubborn prejudice against me, but anyway, it's a pleasure to meet you today, and I hope to have the opportunity to serve you in the future." ”
