Chapter 388: Lot
Duchy of Varyna.
Named after the moat outside the castle, it is said that when it was first built, the Grand Duke of Varenna led his soldiers and intruders to kill the castle in the dark, and the blood that flowed stained the moat red.
Bustling crowds of people walk endlessly on the streets, looking for goods they are satisfied with, and the cries of vendors are endless.
A young man with black hair and black eyes walked down the street, and it was amazing that anyone who came within Chinese New Year's Eve centimeters would unconsciously change their movements and move to the sides, thus making the boy unimpeded.
The black-haired boy was Aryan who had said goodbye to Ron, and it took him only two hours to arrive in the Duchy of Varenna on the Flaming Eagle.
The Duchy of Valenna is said to be a country, but in fact it is just a Chishui City and some towns and villages around Chishui City, and the combined area is not half the size of a city in the previous life, let alone the population, only tens of thousands of people.
This population is not as large as the population of Cocka City, where Ulysses College is located, which is just a small city in the middle of nowhere.
However, Yalian also knows this very well, after all, this is not a human-dominated world, and all the human beings in the whole world together do not know whether there are 10 million, and they are distributed all over the world, and it is simply delusional to want to build a strong country, not to mention that there are foreign enemies eyeing each other, and careerists are unwilling to be subordinate.
"But it's prosperous. ”
Aaron did not deny the merits of the Grand Duke of Valena because of this, the size and population of the principality are determined by objective conditions, and the Grand Duke is not to blame, but the Duchy of Valenna is so prosperous, it is definitely the Archduke of Valenna who governs it properly.
"But it's not enough. ”
After walking around Chishui City, Aaron met seven pickpockets, six child abductors and eight or nine robbers, of course, these short-sighted ones were already wailing in hell at this time.
After having a general understanding of the layout of the entire city, Aaron planned to inquire about the news, and as for the place to listen to the news, of course, it was the gathering point of all the information that every city must have....... Tavern.

The tables and chairs in the tavern were in disrepair, and when people sat on them, they would make a squeaking sound from time to time, and they could fall at any time, and some guests had suggested replacing them, but the idea of spending money was not born in the mind of the tavern owner at all.
Want him to spend money?
How can it be?
As the only tavern in the entire Chishui City, Kaput is confident that even if there are no tables and chairs, there are still a lot of drunkards who come here to drink.
The owner of the tavern, Kaput, was a big fat man himself, and it is said that he was an adventurer in his early years, who once left the city and went into the mountains to hunt those fierce beasts, and then when he was old and his leg was seriously injured, he was no longer as agile as before, so he opened this tavern to live out his old age.
As for why he was able to open the only tavern in Chishui City, it was not something that a waiter in Lot could know.
As always, Lott continued to walk with his plate, eavesdropping on the adventurers' chatter and laughter, and as he went, one or two people greeted him from time to time and ordered their favorite food.
After all, the teenager has been working here for a long time, and he has also met some regular customers, the number of people is not large, and the relationship is not very deep, but it is still okay to chat a few words.
He was familiar with the work here, and loved to hear unheard anecdotes from adventurers, especially about warlocks.
Warlocks are said to be terrifying beings from other worlds, powerful, mysterious, extremely wealthy, standing above all levels of biological order, controlling the forces of nature such as fire, frost, and storms, and are the true rulers of this world.
Everyone wants to be a warlock and this kind of existence beyond mortals, but this kind of person is very rare, talent and opportunity are indispensable, at least he has never seen a warlock until now.
I just heard that His Royal Highness Prince Ron has been valued by a warlock and has the opportunity to become a mysterious and powerful warlock.
"I want to be a warlock too. ”
Lot's heart welled up with fervent hope, and he couldn't help but think of himself becoming a warlock.
It was at this moment that a call woke him up from his wonderful fantasies.
"Lot, come here. ”
It was the voice of the tavern keeper Kaput.
Lott didn't dare to slack off, and immediately bowed down and walked over, "Mr. Kaput, what are your orders?"
The boss curled the corners of his mouth, holding a bulging belly, and his behemoth body of more than 200 pounds did not look like an adventurer at all, but a little like a rich kid who was eating and waiting to die, and smiled at him.
So, every tooth was exposed, gray and yellow, but he could show it unabashedly, just like the big belly that was also uncovered.
"I have an old friend who is sick and needs to be visited, so you should take care of the tavern now, remember, the barrel needs to be filled with water. ”
In the last sentence, Kaput also winked at Lott playfully.
"Yes, sir. ”
Resisting the urge to punch him, the young man agreed in a low voice, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at the other party's eyes as if he were not in sight.
As for mixing water, as the only tavern in Chishui City, if you don't like the wine here, you can choose not to come, anyway, the tavern is not afraid that no one wants to come.
Looking at the back of the boss leaving, Lott continued to wipe the wine glass with his head down, saying that he was taking care of the tavern, but it was actually no different from usual, usually the boss was just chatting and bragging with the guests here, and he was working on most of the things in the tavern.
Lott has no complaints about this, as a homeless orphan, in this chaotic world, even if he dies, no one will care, it was Kaput who rescued him from the death line and gave him a job and a place to live, although the salary is much less than others, but as an orphan, he does not spend much money.
Business was as good as ever, and the guests who had complained so many times that they would not come back reappeared in the tavern, slapping the tables vigorously and skillfully ordering the drinks they had said they would never drink again countless times.
The boy put a fragrant sardine on the table, smiled and asked, "Hey, friends, I haven't seen you for a long time, have you gone hunting in the mountains?"
One of them took a sip of beer and said nonchalantly, "You said Siya, this guy died, we met a snake den in the mountains, Siya this guy was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake and died on the spot." ”
"I see. Lot's face froze, and he smiled reluctantly: "Thank you." ”
It was an adventurer who had a good relationship with him, and every time he came back from an adventure before, he would tell him the story of the adventure, although most of them boasted about how powerful he was, but he was a good person, and he didn't expect to die so easily.
Glancing at the adventure team that did not feel a trace of sadness for the death of his teammates, Lott shook his head, extinguished the idea of being unwilling to be mediocre, and decided that unless he was 100% sure, he would never go out to find death, even if it was a mediocre life, it was better than this kind of meaningless death, at least his children could grow up with their fathers.
After a few more moments, the door of the tavern suddenly rang.
