Chapter 545: Old Wine Barrel
Slowly navigating the narrow, noisy and chaotic streets, Lu Li finally saw why the border fortress was also known as a paradise for adventurers and merchants. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Rare furs found in Kempera, rare eggs of young beasts, reptiles and birds, magical metals and plants dug up from nowhere, it's easy to make a fortune if you dare to risk your life in the forest.
In particular, the daring adventurers often cooperate with local hunters, the former of whom is responsible for fighting the beasts, and the latter is responsible for leading the way, which can be described as a fruitful harvest before the heavy snow falls.
Many of the people who had just completed the transaction were satisfied with their bulging leather pockets, and began to divide the money according to the previous agreement, and then went to the tavern inn to have a feast together, and then continued to hunt deep in the forest.
For adventurers, they can enjoy nature's bounty from before the first snow falls, and in terms of earning money, it is much faster than going to the first few floors of the dungeon to kill monsters and hunt for crystals.
But as soon as the snow falls in the sky, everyone will immediately flee back to the city as fast as possible, ready to participate in the terrible siege battle.
At that time, the entire border fortress will be under martial law, and the army, adventurers, and ordinary residents will all be ready to fight until the surging beasts are completely repulsed.
Obviously, the sky is still clear, so you don't have to worry about snow for three to five days.
Under the guidance of Uncle Botman, the convoy soon came to a large four-story mixed stone and wood building.
The main reason why it is said to be a mixture of stone and wood is that this building is simply so bizarre, the first and second floors are made of stone, but the third and fourth floors are indeed wooden buildings, and it feels like the original stone house deliberately made wood to fool people in order to complete the expansion in the most cost-effective way.
Of course, while the wooden buildings are far less beautiful and durable than the stone ones, the décor is quite chic, and there is a huge open-air restaurant that extends out to satisfy the out-of-town diners who like to dine while enjoying the view from the ground.
As for the signboard of the inn, it is also very down-to-earth, called old wine barrel......
"Well, it looks good on the outside, but I don't know what's going on inside. Lu Li touched his chin and commented.
Truth be told, he loved the fantasy of the inn, and he also loved sitting at the bar and listening to strangers tell him or hear anecdotes from other people, a feeling that a five-star hotel on Earth could never provide.
"Hahahaha! Believe me, it's ten times better inside than outside. Opened by a retired couple of adventurers, the inn is said to be inspired by some of the best inns in Kempera, and many adventurers who come to the border fortress like to live here, and over time it is basically a small guild branch, and some people even post quests here. Botman said, touching the M500 revolver hanging from the holster.
Ever since the employment agreement was reached, he had acquired the ownership of the high-powered pistol, and he always carried it with him whether he was eating or sleeping, and his affection was almost to the point of enchantment.
"Damn! So what are you waiting for? I can't wait to have a drink to celebrate the victory!" Engil, who had just done a fight, was in high spirits, and rushed in on his short legs.
Lu Li was afraid that the dwarves would cause trouble again, so he hurriedly threw a pocket of small gold coins to Diodorus and advised, "You take everyone in first, and I'll find a place to park the car first." ”
"Don't worry, Captain, I'll keep an eye on everyone. ”
Diodorus apparently understood what Lu Li meant, and turned around with his leather pocket to open the door and enter the hotel, even the Kundal Panther.
As a big cat that lives in the warm regions of the south all year round, it is obviously a little unadapted to the cold climate of the north, you must know that although it has not snowed yet, the temperature is close to minus ten degrees, and the biting cold wind is constantly blowing around, and it can take away the heat of the body in just a few minutes.
Seeing his teammates walk into the hotel, Lu Li glanced at several fully loaded cars and the narrow terrain around him, sighed slightly and laughed at himself: "Then is the time for me, the real driver, to show off his skills......"
With that, he untied the tow ropes one by one, carefully dumped the largest tanker truck into a side cul-de-sac, followed by two modified pickups full of weapons and ammunition, and then the Humvee, armed to the teeth.
After all four cars were crammed in, the entire alley was completely blocked, and the back door could not even be opened unless the front car was removed.
Silently gave a perfect score to his driving skills, Lu Li smiled and said to Uncle Botman: "It's done, let's go, let's go in and eat something." I've been eating fast food these days, and my stomach has protested, so I'm going to eat something good today anyway. ”
"Isn't the food good these days?" asked Botman, looking confused.
In his opinion, sitting in a comfortable and sealed vehicle, eating a variety of unique flavors of jerky, sausages, soft bread, sweet chocolate, fragrant and refreshing coffee, etc., is almost comparable to a small mobile hotel.
If this kind of travel is not good, then wouldn't your previous travel method be described with a big "miserable" word?
"No, not at all, you have to understand that from the perspective of nutritional balance, only eating fresh vegetables, meat and eggs is really a healthy diet. Forget it, you don't understand these estimates, you just need to know that the fresher the ingredients, the better. With that, Lu Li carried a stout double-barreled shotgun and NTW-20, stepped open the door and walked into the hotel.
"The fresher, the better?" Botman shrugged his shoulders in confusion.
As soon as he entered the hall, Lu Li immediately saw countless chairs padded with soft animal skins, and almost every guest was sitting, lying, or lying on his stomach in the way he thought was most comfortable, even if he chatted with each other, it was not as noisy as the taverns in other places.
In addition, there are many interesting things hanging on the walls, such as specimens made of the heads of beasts, paintings of warriors vs. dragons or giant beasts, and neatly arranged parchment scrolls on the shelves, which several young adventurers are standing by, probably not related to the terrain or the experience left by the previous adventurers.
On the wall to the left of the hall hung a large light-colored wooden plank, under which there were many charcoal bars of various lengths, and a guy dressed as a merchant wrote in crooked otherworldly scripts - Three Hundred Golden Pagoda for White-headed Bear Cubs.
You don't have to ask, this is the bulletin board you use to post tasks......
