Every time I come to the city of Hylanza, I will have a new understanding of this mountain city built on the mountainside.

At dusk, a faint twilight envelops the whole city, and the sky and the mountain side are like a fire burning in the sky, and the sky is red for half a day.

Far from being lethargic at noon, the guards at the gates were discussing whether or not to go into a tavern for a drink or two, and after the harvest festival, the various festive ribbons and street lamps had not yet been removed, and the streets and alleys were full of festive colors, and the city looked small, but it was full of life.

Looking at the warm lights shining from the glass windows of those houses, Surdak wanted to sit in the restaurant and eat some roast goose and drink a glass of cold ale.

Surdak still lives in the hotel across the street from the Square Garden. The proprietress leaned on the front desk, watched Surdak push the door and walked in, her eyes subconsciously glanced behind him, and when she saw him walking in alone, a smile appeared on her face, and the hand on the counter secretly pulled the low-cut dress down, making the silk low-cut dress look like it couldn't hold her chest. The former giant.

With a confident smile on his face, he said to Surdak: "There is a room on the third floor facing the window, do you want to prepare a dinner for you?" ”

Surdak put his bags at the front desk and said to the proprietress at the counter: "I want the room, I don't need dinner, it's still early, I'm going to take a casual stroll around the city, dinner may be settled outside." ”

The proprietress withdrew her gaze with some disappointment, tossed Surdak a bunch of keys from the wall behind her, and ignored him.

……

This time in the city, Surdak plans to sell a batch of sulfur ore in the underground market, and buy a few more Water Gathering Magic Scrolls and Fire Gathering Scrolls.

The main purpose of selling these sulphur mines was to buy some thick-soled boots and raw cowhide felt tents for the sulphur mines, and it was best to buy some cheap fire resistance potions in the magic potion shop, according to the old village chief's idea, after selling these sulfur mines, he could use the money to pay the bricklayers and laborers who built the cistern, and the old village chief thought that the construction of the cistern was the welfare of the whole village.

If it was before, the village did not have such ability, then there was nothing to say, Surdak paid out of his own pocket, but now there are sulfur mines in the village, and with these sulfur mines, the village of Vol can easily build a reservoir, so the old village chief is so eager to sell a batch of sulfur mines.

No matter how well the sulphur mine sells, the boots will have to be bought, so Surdak came out of the hotel, went to the last leather shop, and asked the owner to buy fifty pairs of boots, not only for the boots, but also for the fire-resistant sole.

Originally thought that felt tents could only be bought at the grocery store, but I didn't expect that there were raw cowhide felt tents in this leather shop, Surdak bought five raw cowhide felt tents from this store, and the owner of the leather shop realized that Surdak was obviously a big customer, so he took out ten cowhide belts and gave them to Surdak for free, which were really useful for the stonemasons in the sulfur mines.

It's a pity that he walked back and forth twice on the most prosperous shopping street in the city of Highlandsa, but he couldn't find a magic potion shop, and finally saw a magic potion shop on the corner of the street, but unfortunately this magic potion shop is still closed, and there is a spider web hanging on the iron lock at the door, it seems that it has not been open for a long time, and he has not been able to buy a magic potion store, and naturally he has not bought a fire resistance potion, Surdak thinks that he should wait until tomorrow morning to try his luck at the underground market.

It was completely dark, the streets and alleys of the city were lit up with street lamps, Surdak stood in front of a tavern with a huge ale glass painted on the sign at the door, he wanted to drink a glass of ale, he was a little hesitant to drink in the tavern, or find a better restaurant, after thinking for a while, he felt that he should see the tavern in the city of Highlandsa, and it seemed that this tavern was very popular, Surdak only stood at the door for a short time, and then more than a dozen people walked into this tavern with a somewhat noisy sound one after another.

After a moment of fire, Surdak pushed open the door of the tavern and walked in, the whole tavern was very spacious, it was full of oak tables, a group of drinking guests shouted in the tavern, and wine girls with wooden trays on their heads shuttled through the crowd, they were dressed close-fitting and sexual. As long as they are willing to sell the ale wine in their hands, they don't mind the drinkers rubbing oil on their bodies, and more often they will laugh and scold a few words, or say a little ambiguous. Ambiguous words to tune. Feeling.

Surdak saw a drunken bearded man toss a silver coin into the neckline of the wine seller's heart before taking four large glasses of wine from the wooden tray above her head.

This is probably the first time Surdak has seen a half-elf with a pair of pointed ears, his face is definitely still a human face, but the eyes are a little too delicate, obviously a male elf, but that beautiful face is more bewitching than all the women in the tavern, his ears are translucent, the fluff on the back of the ears can be clearly seen through the light behind the bar, and his slender hands are flexibly wiping the wine glass in front of him.

There was also a high platform opposite the bar, on which stood a bard with a harp, who sang some of his experiences in songs, and the melody of the song was not fixed, it was purely improvised, but the sound of the harp was not drowned out by the noise of the tavern.

Surdak asked for a glass of ale with ice at the front desk, which only cost fifteen copper plates, which was cheaper than expected.

"Has anyone ever told you that it's rude to stare directly at a half-elf?" The half-elf bartender snorted angrily at Surdak, undisguised his displeasure.

Surdak shook his head.

"Now you know, right?" The half-elf bartender handed a round wooden tray to Surdak.

Surdak nodded hurriedly, and left the bar with the ale, and couldn't help but look at his chest twice, the chest was extraordinarily flat, and there was an obvious Adam's apple in the throat, it looked like it should be a male half-elf, Surdak was worried about angering the bartender, and he was about to slip away with his wine glass, and the bartender's voice came from behind him again:

"If you're just buying ale, try the ale girls, maybe you'll have some windfalls, and if you want to drink rum or golden cider, come back to me." The half-elf bartender said unceremoniously.

Surdak turned his back to him and raised his glass to signal that he had heard.

In addition to the beer girls, there were occasionally small vendors selling fruit and steamed buns who were allowed to walk around the tavern only once, and to go out at once, regardless of whether anyone bought them or not.

Surdak found a corner in the tavern and sat down......
