Chapter 59: Intelligence Brokers
Alfalfa Flower Tavern is located in the central area of Blackwater Town, and although it is surrounded by competitors, there is always a steady stream of customers who come in to eat, and Lu Bin probably has it because of word of mouth. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
He only waited for about two minutes, and the lunch he had just asked for was brought to him by a halfling waiter, and then Haflin, whose chin was just over the table, asked "Lord Wandering Mage Rez" if he could share a table if there was a place for a guest to sit.
Lu Bin said that there was no problem, he didn't mind this little thing, and then he saw the halfling waiter holding the dinner plate, running to the counter and pointing out the direction for a young man dressed in hunting costume.
In the front hall of the popular tavern, Lu Bin's sense of smell had long been completely invalid, but when he saw the guests approaching the table dining, he found that his body was too slender, even if he was still young, his body had not completely grown and could not be explained.
His eyes were like radar searchlights, and he immediately turned to the chest of the young man in hunting costume, flat and without any scenery to speak of, and at the moment he secretly laughed at his suspiciousness, casually using the sliced bread, listening intently to the conversation of several adventurers at the adjacent table behind him.
Once in Blackwater, the remnants of the adventurers dispersed on their own, with the exception of the Golden Hourglass Lesling Meyer and Iron Lion Denton, where they met a friend of acquaintance and the three of them dined together at the Alfalfa Tavern.
Lesling Meyer asked for a large glass of frothy ale, and three thumb-thick sausages on the plate were charred and fragrant, and he picked them up with his hands and stuffed them into his mouth, making a creaking and crunchy sound as soon as he bit into them.
Veteran Ranger Denton concentrates on the roast pork knuckle in front of him, seemingly venting his anger on the tavern's signature dish with a high bite, hiding all his annoying thoughts under the mask of gobbling up.
"What's the matter? These are just ordinary dishes, even if it's your first time, you don't need to be so exaggerated and make people laugh. ”
The "golden hourglass" seemed to be choked by the fried sausage that had not been chewed through, and hurriedly grabbed the wine glass, raised his head and let the pine yellow ale wine pour into his mouth.
Lu Bin heard a very loud grunt behind him, followed by a long sigh of satisfaction, and immediately understood what had happened at the adjacent table just now.
"It's also a character with a head and a face, don't you die on the battlefield, but you choked to death by a piece of fried sausage, it's too embarrassing, it's not worth dying. ”
Leslyn Meyer put down his glass heavily, glanced at the Iron Lion Denton, who was full of concern, and turned to look at his friend who had known him for many years: "Kraken, is there any latest news about Elondale?"
The senior ranger also reacted, looking at the famous intelligence broker in the north and the partner of the Alfalfa Tavern, he couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Wesler, don't worry about the cost, the funds for the Night Mask are a little tight, and the money to buy intelligence is still available." ”
The sea monster Wessler turned the wine glass with both hands, muttered for a moment, and quickly weighed the pros and cons in his heart before nodding slightly, "It's a pity that your efforts have been thrown into the water." ”
He took a sip of the lackluster ale, "According to reliable sources, the only moon well in the ruins of Elundelle in the elven kingdom has been completely destroyed, and there is not a drop left of the source of youth that the bigwigs have spent to add to delay aging and get rid of dark diseases." ”
Iron Lion Denton's face suddenly dripped, and his left hand, which was holding the pork knuckle, pinched it angrily, crushing the tough joints.
"Damn, all the blood shed by our Night Mask for this is wasted, and this account will be a loss no matter how you calculate it. ”
The golden hourglass Lesling Meyer's expression was also very ugly, and he looked at the intelligence broker: "The sky-high purchase orders smashed by the bigwigs should not be cancelled, right?"
The sea monster Wesler looked at "Hourglass Eye" in surprise: "Yes, Your Excellency Meyer, it seems that there are a few big people who don't have the heart to die. After all, no one knows if the adventurers who entered Elondale had some of the moon well water. ”
Leslin Meyer shook her head: "No, not one. I can guarantee that none of the fourteen adventuring teams that entered the Elven Kingdom had entered the core area and touched the Moon Well. ”
When Lu Bin heard this, he couldn't help but smile, and he was very proud of his choice to reconcile with the Guardian, relying on Elondale's geographical advantages, and a series of adventurous behaviors to attack the invaders.
Unexpectedly, his inadvertent smile immediately attracted the attention of the young man in hunting clothes sitting opposite, but this person was just curious and did not continue to investigate.
Peering into the mind of a spellcaster is a very dangerous act, and a person who understands what is at stake will never act rashly. Among them was the young man in hunting clothes who shared a table with Lu Bin, his hearing was good, and he also learned a lot of valuable information in the noisy tavern.
The intelligence broker lowered his voice and continued to peddle his goods: "Enter Elondale's adventure team, there are the eyes planted by the bigwigs, they get the relevant information inside the elven kingdom for the first time, and without the moon well, the only valuable inducement, there is nothing worth mentioning in this ruin. ”
Iron Lion Denton sat up straight and immediately retorted, "Mr. Wesler, I don't agree with you. That's right, it's not surprising that there is eyeliner in the adventurous party. It's just that I'm worried about the nail of the intelligence that came out in the first place, and I didn't write the real situation of Elondale into it. ”
"Sea Monster" Wessler turned his head to look at Lesling Meyer, and when he saw that he was also nodding, he asked suspiciously: "You have been defeated head-on by the elven remnants of Elondale, even if you join forces, it will be useless, after all, the other party has a geographical advantage, is there any information I don't know?"
The "Golden Hourglass" was speechless, tantamount to acquiescing to this fact: "We encountered a near-complete Lost Lock Enchantment, were brutalized by the beast waves of the Reindeer River, lost a quarter of our combat strength, and lost some of our manpower in the misty illusion, before we came to the Celestial Trench-level Tree and Vine City Wall. As a result, seven awakened fortress-level treants ravaged us to death. All of this is inseparable from the elven remnants. ”
"Next, the legions of undead creatures blocking our retreat, as well as small water elementals, appeared one after another, and it was another group of people who did it. I suspect they're allies of the elves, master-level spellcasters, especially the ones behind the undead legions, and they're outrageously powerful. ”
Lu Bin's heart was already secretly injured internally, and he didn't expect that his meager ability would be praised by his opponent to the sky, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong.
"How can these defeated snakes hide their incompetence and failure if they don't exaggerate the strength of their enemies? ”
Lu Bin quickly put himself in the right position, did not fall into the tout of the "enemy" who knew him best, and once again grasped the direction of progress.
The sea monster Wesler remembered the information with his heart, "That is, Elondale has lost its only desirable value and has become a very dangerous place...... Tsk, just one elven remnant who controls the Lost Lock Enchantment, plus a few master spellcasters, can take out fourteen adventuring teams. In this way, the abandoned elven kingdom must be re-evaluated. ”
The intelligence broker seemed to sense the burning gaze of Lesling Meyer and Iron Lion Constantin, and immediately changed his tune: "This piece of information is worth a lot of money, and it is offset by the information I just provided...... First-hand and up-to-date information is always very valuable. Well, for the sake of our many years of cooperation, plus the tavern in which I have a stake, you often take care of the business and send a piece of grapevine for free. ”
He lowered his voice and continued to ship: "According to unreliable sources, the dark wizard Schindlin Astrology is a half-elf with at least a quarter of the elven blood in his body to obtain moon well water from Elondale. Of course, according to him, it was a generous gift from the remnants of the elven kingdom...... Tsk, I didn't expel him on the spot, the dark wizards are all villains chasing forbidden knowledge, and they exude an ominous evil aura from their bodies, and they can even step into Elondale?"
Leslyn Meyer's face turned ugly again, and she slapped the table angrily: "I knew there must be a dirty deal behind it!"
Iron Lion Denton was silent when he heard this, he thought of the giant fist Eugen who was killed by the undead, "After the great retreat, the power of the elven kingdom in the north is very empty, and the last guardian for his own duty, not only allows the dark wizard to enter and exit, but even the necromantic master who manipulates the undead can tolerate it, isn't that so?"
When Lu Bin heard this, he somewhat understood why he was able to reconcile with His Royal Highness Tellant, and the biggest reason was really his own strength, and his self-defense may just be an inducement.
The intelligence broker also suddenly understood, and in order to express his gratitude, he had to say: "You two, I have another good news here. ”
The sea monster Wesler managed to attract the attention of Lesling Meyer and the Denton Ranger, "The lord of Blackwater has succeeded in developing and promising to distribute the land to his subordinates, not only securing his basic territory, but also discovering a considerable amount of iron ore in the territory of the horse race. ”
"What? Iron Ore!"
