The warm winter sun slowly rose, and Ron's head shook and dozed off as the broken teeth moved forward.

Since the last time his consciousness was attached to the statue next to the moon well in Moonlight Rat Town, Ron's Heart Lake Island has added another portal in addition to the portal to the unknown dark jungle - as long as he crosses this portal, Ron can attach his consciousness to the statue and quietly observe the development of Moonlight Rat Town.

This made Ron very happy, and he frequently attached his consciousness to the statue to observe the progress of the moonlight rat swarm - the result was that Ron's spirit was a little sluggish, after all, letting consciousness out of his body is an ability that only archmages who have passed the path of legend, and it is quite exhausting.

"Hey!"

"See?"

"That's Ximen City, we're here!"

After re-signing the agreement in the green fields, Arias wasted no time in stopping at Iliaba and, after replenishing the necessary supplies for survival, set out on the journey again with twelve bantam wagons.

After two weeks of running wildly in the wilderness, they finally saw the walls of a magnificent city appear at the junction of the plain and the sea in the distance.

"Hey, I'm in town, I'm going to find a tavern to have a good drink first!"

"My wine bag has been empty for three days!"

Such excitement is naturally Miro, for alcoholic halflings, a day without alcohol is hell, and in Miro's eyes at this moment, the city of Simon in front of him is heaven.

"I need to add some herbs!"

"If you can, some Earthwalking Dragon scales!"

Kane the Minotaur is the only one who is so obsessed with herbs, but none of the members of the party have been injured, and Kane's herbalism has not yet opened.

"Kalalala~"

At Kane's side, Hogg stretched out with a series of bones grinding against him, he didn't speak, but his body movements were clearly indicative of what he needed.

............

The light of gold shines on all human city-states.

Although Am's currency could not be used in Cormyr, it could be exchanged for the equivalent value of Cormier coins, so by stuffing a few [Dan Towers] into the hands of the gate guards, Arias's caravan entered the West Gate City without any problems.

Unlike Askatra, the city of Simon has a public and chaotic belief in the gods, and here you can see a variety of temples mixed together, perhaps the opposite door of the Temple of Tyre is the Temple of Bane, where the holy warriors of the two gods compete with each other every day.

Moreover, the city had a large number of nobles, who ruled the city through a committee of ten and fought with each other for the management of the city for the interests of their respective families.

"Wine!"

"I'm coming!"

Entering the city and getting permission from Arias, Miró immediately rushed to look for wine with the members of the Beast Adventure Party, only to see Miró at the front of the group with his nose fluttering, followed far behind by Hogg the Gnoll, Kane the Minotaur, and the huge Kobold Golden Fang - because of the increase in size, Kane no longer allowed the Golden Fang to sit on his shoulder. At this moment, it was Ron who was squatting on Kane's shoulder, and the orange cat was lying on Kane's other shoulder.

"Hey, boss, five of your specialty wines!"

Apparently hungry and thirsty from the wine worm in Miró's belly, he walked straight into a tavern with mermaids and fishermen painted on the walls, and ordered five glasses of wine aloud.

However, before he could sit down on the wooden table beside him, a strong human man in leather armor with a visible scar on his face walked up to Miro's side.

"Little man, you're coming to Simon for the first time, right?"

The bartender's skills were very fast, but after a while, five glasses of the tavern's special wine [Fishman Tears] had been delivered to the table, so the strong man picked up a glass of wine by himself, took a sip of it fiercely, and then made a gesture of rubbing his fingers.

"This tavern is the territory of our Night Mask, and if you want to drink here, you need to pay for this!"

"Of course, we won't ask you for nothing, as long as you are in Ximen City for a day, we will provide all-round protection!"

"Huh?!"

"Protection money?!"

Raising his head, Miro's eyes widened in surprise, his eyebrows raised high, and at the same time he looked behind him over the strong man - the wooden table that Miro had chosen was a little back, and he was sitting in the position facing the door of the bar, behind the strong man, Hogg the Gnoll had just pushed open the door of the tavern with a three-headed flail.

"Yes, protection money!"

"See, as long as you pay enough protection money, even if it's such a monster, we can protect you!"

Thinking that Miro didn't believe him, the scar-faced strong man followed Miro's eyes and immediately saw Kane and the others who pushed the door in, so he waved his arm, showing his strong muscles, and said loudly at the same time.

"I can give it to you. ”

Miro's flexible big eyes slid around, revealing a slight smile, he took out a money bag from his arms, carefully opened the mouth of the bag, and immediately the golden and cute luster was revealed, making the corners of the scar-faced strong man's mouth show a coveted smile, and he couldn't help but want to put his hand into the money bag opened by Miro.

"But, you see they're coming!"

Naturally, Miro would not let Scarface get his way, and before Scarface's palm touched the gold coin, he had already closed his pocket and stuffed it back into his arms.

This made the scar-faced man's face immediately difficult to look at - anyone who saw what he was about to get in his hands was taken back, his mood would be bad, and in his anger, he naturally didn't hear Miro's words clearly.

"Little dwarf, you'd better give me the gold coins, otherwise I won't dare to guarantee your safety!"

With Scarface's low roar, strong figures stood up one after another on the wooden tables around him, these were obviously Scarface's accomplices, but Miro didn't care at all - because his companion had already come behind Scarface.

"Dude, you seem to be in the wrong place!"

A low and hoarse voice like a coyote howl sounded behind the scar-faced strong man, and a pair of interlaced fangs with a bloody breath impacted the scar-faced strong man's sense of smell, making him feel as if he was on a killing battlefield, and his legs trembled involuntarily!

After fighting the dragon together, the gnoll Hogg finally let go of his control and fully displayed his true strength - I don't know how many lives Hogg has killed in the past, but within half a meter of his body, there is always a bloody aura, which makes people extremely uncomfortable.

And this kind of smell is naturally not something that these slum thugs can bear in the tavern - so yellow marks flow from between the legs of the scar-faced man, leaving a foul of water on the ground. [.]
