Chapter 5: Old Jack

In a bustling city, the red light district is essential, but these things cannot be put on the table and have their own camouflage.

Old Jack's Bar, bars with such a name are very common in the Kingdom of Lune, almost all over the major cities in the country, and even there are several in the same city, these bars are different in style and style, and everyone will think that this is just because the name Jack is too popular to associate these places together. But a small number of people know that these seemingly completely unrelated bars actually have the same owner.

Starmark arrives at Old Jack's Bar in the Red Light District, and the bar in this place is just as it is, except for the shiny sign, the interior is chaotic. The strong smell of alcohol and cigarettes, pungent perfumes, and the indulgent laughter of men and the screams of women are the colors in the bar.

As soon as Starmark entered, two seductive women dressed in sexy clothes pasted up.

"Where did you come from, handsome guy, sister, can you have a drink?" The woman laughed.

Hearing this, Xingji stretched out his hand to the waist of the woman, and said with a faint smile: "If I don't settle the bill in the end, I'm willing to accompany you." ”

The woman was stunned, then laughed coquettishly, and pushed her palm in front of Starmark's chest, and the whole person was like a slippery loach, out of Starmark's arm.

"The little brother is really good at laughing, naturally my sister is treating, let's go. After the woman finished speaking, she squeezed into the crowd, but she did not mean to wait for the star mark.

Naturally, Starmark wouldn't believe the other party's words, and he walked through the crowd alone to a corner not far from the bar. There was a table with a sign indicating that the table had been booked.

This is a two-person table, after Starmark sat down, he "snapped" and overturned the sign on the table, the sound was not loud, in this messy bar, it would not attract the attention of outsiders, of course, but outsiders would not notice.

Soon, a man dressed in a waiter's costume arrived at the table where Starmark was.

"Dear sir, I'm sorry, this place has already been booked, please change places. ”

Starmark glanced at the waiter and pulled out a silver coin from his pocket, it wasn't the one with an eagle in the middle of the Rune Kingdom hairstyle, it had a skull carved into it.

Seeing the silver coin that Starmark took out, the waiter's eyes lit up, and he immediately changed his words: "Distinguished guest, do you have any instructions?"

Starmark looked up and smiled, "Is Old Jack there?" ”

"The boss is inside, please come with me. The waiter smiled, and at the same time made a gesture of please, only to see a faint circle of light appear on the ground at his feet, if placed outside, it may be more conspicuous, but in this bright place, it is difficult to be noticed.

It's not the first time I've been here, so it's a familiar thing. Stepping on the teleportation array, a soft light flashed, and the scene in front of Starmark had changed, the originally chaotic room disappeared, and a dim passage appeared in front of Starmark.

"Distinguished guest, please come with me. The waiter from before followed Starmark and led Starmark deeper into the passage.

At the end of the passage, there is a small wooden door, and the wooden door has a quaint atmosphere, which can be inferred that it has been here for a certain number of years.

The waiter bowed slightly to the starmark, "Sir, please wait. After speaking, he knocked lightly on the door three times, and said respectfully: "Boss, there is business." ”

"Let him in. As the voice came, the wooden door slowly opened. Unlike the quaint wooden doors, an extremely luxurious house appeared in front of Starmark, and the whole room was like a huge treasure trove, both used and decorated with walls, all of which were made of gold and precious stones. Even though it wasn't the first time he had arrived, Starmark's heartbeat was still beating faster than usual. Everything here greatly stimulated this man who had a special affection for gold coins.

"Boy, don't beat me up here, or don't blame me for blacklisting you!" The voice came from a man sitting in a golden chair, he looked to be in his fifties, his temples were slightly pale, but he did not look old, but like a fierce tiger, exuding the majesty of a hegemon.

"Hey, old Jack, it's been a long time, did you miss me?" Starmark looked casual, waving to Old Jack.

In response to Starmark's greeting, Old Jack teased, "I wish I never saw you, and every time I see you, I have to lose something in my house." ”

Starmark walked to the only sofa in the room, leaned back on the sofa very relaxed, and smiled: "Then you will wronged me, I still have to count on you to live, if you are angered, there will be no thief star in this world." ”

Old Jack snorted lightly, picked up the cigar in front of him, took a hard breath, spit out a smoke ring, and said unhurriedly: "It's good that you know, let's say, what are you doing here today, do you want to sell the falling star here with me?"

For Old Jack to know that the falling star is in his hands, the star mark is not strange at all, after all, the man in front of him is a person known as the information hub, and all the news of the Lune Kingdom will be transmitted to him as soon as possible, if the other party does not know that the falling star finally fell into his hands, it is really strange.

"Forget it, although the price at which you sell the news is fair, the price of the receipt is really a bit I sell it here from you, I'm afraid I can't even sell it for half the price. ”

Old Jack didn't have any dissatisfaction with Starmark's refusal, he didn't actually care much about Falling Star, at most he sold it backwards, and there was one thing he and Starmark had in common, gold coins were the most beautiful thing in the world.

Old Jack spread his hands and said, "Whatever you want, then what are you kid here for? Don't worry about the things in my house." ”

Hearing Old Jack's question, Starmark also withdrew his gaze from looking around, "I want to know, what is there that can prolong a person's life." ”

"Extend the life of a man? Abner, that old fellow is dying?" Old Jack took another puff on his cigar and said, "That old fellow Abner is indeed a great man, but with his position, if the time is near, the royal family should also provide him with things to prolong his life, and you don't need to worry about that." ”

Xingji sneered and said: "Don't pretend to be confused, the teacher's great achievements are known to the world, and those wastes have long suspected the teacher's high merit, that is, the teacher is old, and the limit is approaching, so they didn't treat the teacher well, how could they come to help the teacher prolong his life." ”

Old Jack shook his head with a slight smile, picked up the wine glass on the table, took a sip and said, "Since you think so, then there is one thing that should help you." ”

"What's that?" Starmark's eyes lit up when he heard this, although he had always believed that Old Jack would have information about this kind of thing, but after really hearing it, he was still extremely excited.

"Heaven and Earth Tree Fruit. Old Jack said word for word.

"Heaven and Earth Tree Fruit?" Starmark was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Are you talking about the fruit of the legendary Heaven and Earth Tree? Isn't that a legend? Is it true?"

Old Jack nodded and said, "Of course, if it weren't for the real existence of the Heaven and Earth Tree Fruit, wouldn't it be groundless, of course, there are very few of them that can be obtained." After a pause, Old Jack continued: "I have only seen this fruit once, and as for its effect, it is said that the seriously injured can be cured immediately, and the unsick can also extend their life by one or two decades." ”

"Where is it!?" Starmark asked eagerly.

Old Jack stretched out his hand unhurriedly towards the star mark and said, "Five hundred gold coins." ”

"You're a robbery!" Hearing this, the excitement before the star mark was swept away, if he didn't still have a little rationality, he would have to scold, five hundred gold coins, this is simply his life.

"Usually a piece of news is only one hundred gold coins, but this time you actually want five hundred, don't think that I am in a hurry to get news, you can slander me!" Starmark said angrily.

Old Jack shrugged his shoulders and said: "Of course it's different, this involves the fruit of the Heaven and Earth Tree, which is known as a miracle medicine, if you get it, I dare to guarantee that someone will rush to buy it if you sell it for 100,000 gold coins." If it weren't for the fact that you went to find the fruit of the Heaven and Earth Tree for Abner, I wouldn't have sold you this news for five thousand gold coins, and it was up to you whether I gave it or not. ”

"Hmph. Starmark snorted, and although he said it was too expensive, he took out a cloth bag and threw it at Old Jack. He wouldn't believe that this news would be worth five thousand gold coins, and he wouldn't believe that Old Jack would give him a price reduction because of Abner's relationship, but for Abner, even if he was slaughtered, he could only admit it.

Contrary to Starmark's eagerness, Old Jack unhurriedly opened the cloth bag, poured out the gold coins, and began to count them carefully.

"Don't count, it's not bad for your money!" The star mark who couldn't wait to know the news for a long time almost shouted out this sentence, the other party was too angry, with his and Old Jack's sensitivity to gold coins, as long as he felt the weight, he could determine the number of gold coins in the bag, where to pour out the numbers one by one, Old Jack clearly knew that he was in a hurry, so he deliberately hung his appetite.

Old Jack laughed when he heard this, and at the same time stretched out his hand and swept it, and the gold coins on the table suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"It's been a great day to see your kid angry. ”

Looking at Starmark's face, Old Jack finally got to the point: "For the sake of you asking for medicine for Abner, I'll tell you." The Heaven and Earth Tree is in the Yutan tribe, Wenbala. ”

"Where's that?" Starmark immediately asked.

"Outside of the western border of Lune, you need to pass through Kemo Island to get there, and as you are now, I am afraid that there is no return. ”

Hearing this, Starmark frowned, although he had not heard of Umbala, but he knew that Kemo Island was no longer part of the territory of Luen. Leaving the border means that it is no longer the scope of human domination, but the territory of Warcraft, and it is indeed very dangerous to pass through it.

Seeing Starmark's worried look, Old Jack suddenly laughed out loud again, "Haha, little guy, I like to see your expression the most." ”

Starmark glanced at him, but did not answer, but continued to think about how to get to Umbala, he was not a reckless person, and he would not easily do things that he was not sure of.

"Okay, don't worry, I only said where the Heaven and Earth Tree is, and I didn't say that the Heaven and Earth Tree fruit is also there, this news is a gift, if you have the strength in the future, you can go to the whole two, I am willing to buy."

Without waiting for Starmark to get angry, Old Jack continued, "This time I'm going to tell you that the Heaven and Earth Tree Fruit is in Albeta!"

"Alberta?" Starmark's eyes narrowed as she looked at Old Jack.
