Chapter 8: The Assassin's Tavern
The Assassin's Tavern in the Cape District of Cosmos is located on Lighthouse Street on the south side of Botu Square.
Lighthouse Street is a well-known street that never sleeps, and most of the customers who come here are sailors resting on the shore. These sailors, who have been adrift in the sea for months, will let off their breath once they get ashore.
They'll be at the table, the women, the wine...... Spend the last Reichsmark on yourself.
When you are penniless, return to the ship and wait for the next voyage.
Luke, in order to avoid getting himself in trouble with his clear appearance, avoided crowded places and moved as fast as he could on the rooftop.
It took some time and vision to find this extremely secluded tavern.
There is no sign on the outside of the tavern, except for a closed door hidden in a thicket.
Luke knocked on the door.
A small window in the door opened, and a large yellow eye appeared behind the small window in the darkness.
"Strange elf, this is not the place you should be."
Luke uttered the codeword: "I heard a call from the shadows, which told me that the color of blood could only be seen with my eyes closed, and that the dagger would let out a death wail when washed with wine. ”
The man inside said, "I don't know where you heard this codeword, but this is not the place you should be.
Go back, and don't let the darkness consume you. ”
"I said the code word, according to the rules, you should open the door and let me in. Evil Eye Theis ......"
Tes, who was called by his name, opened the door to the tavern.
The Evil Eye is an underground creature resembling an octopus, with a large yellow eye on a bulbous head that takes up half of its face.
"It's me who is nosy. Come in, elf...... May you come out alive. I can tell that you're worth more than most of the guys on the bounty list. ”
Luke walked past Tyse.
"Tes, you're still talking a lot of nonsense as always."
Behind the door, a dim lamp illuminates a flight of steps downward. At the corner at the end of the stairs, two men were talking. When they heard the door open, they looked up together and saw the elf coming down the steps.
As Luke walked down, one of the men stopped her.
"Strange elf, are you here to post a bounty mission? Your tasks can be delegated directly to us, with no additional commissions and deposits required. ”
At this time, Tess shouted from above, "Hey, don't break the rules here. If you want to do anything to the elves...... Wait for her to leave from here. ”
The man had no choice but to get out of the way and let Luke pass.
Just around the corner is an underground tavern. Due to the peculiarity of the tavern, all the guests drink and eat quietly. Even when talking, I try my best to lower the volume, and I say all kinds of agreed secret words.
The arrival of a beautiful elf naturally attracted the attention of the entire tavern.
Everyone looked at the elves and calculated in their hearts...... What kind of price can she sell it for.
Luke glanced at the guests in the tavern.
Compare the introduction of the Assassin Tavern in the Cape District in the Raiders, and several of them can be matched with the common heroes in the Tavern.
It's all three-star heroes.
Luke approached the bar as he watched.
The bartender, a lizardman, pours a glass of wine and places it in front of Luke.
"As a rule, first-time guests get a free glass of wine. Beautiful Miss Elf, is there anything I can serve you? ”
Luke picked up the glass, drank half of it, and placed it on the table.
Drinking half means that you are an assassin who has come to take on the mission, and drinking all of them means that you are a customer who has come to issue a mission.
"I'd like to see the bounty commission for the Horned Demon Giant Tree of the Axe Party."
The lizardman bartender looked at the half glass of wine on the table, and then at the female elf in front of him.
"It's hard for me to associate such a beautiful elf as you with an assassin, you should enjoy the food and servant service in the mansion of the superior people, any scar on you is a blasphemy against beauty......"
At this time, a person next to him said: "It will also make your price greatly discounted." Elves, rather than die at the hands of the Axe Party for a reward, it is better to sell themselves for a good price.
I can help you introduce you to quality customers. ”
Luke knew that the appearance of the clear sky would definitely cause her a lot of trouble, so she ignored the person next to her and said to the lizardman bartender, "Let's see what you don't have to lose." ”
"Of course not."
Lizardfolk know how to survive, first of all, don't argue with guests.
The Lizardmen found a bounty on the Axe's Horned Giant Tree from under the counter.
After putting the information in front of Luke, he said, "This is the information you can see. If you want to know more information to increase the success rate of assassination, you need to pay a certain intelligence consultation fee. ”
Luke came to the Assassin's Tavern to make sure that the bounty existed, after all, this world is still a little different from the Anno game.
Fortunately, the bounty for the Horned Demon Giant Tree is still there.
The price is also 5000 gold coupons.
"I took this task."
The lizardman bartender dutifully said, "Beautiful elf lady." I think it's better for you to buy some information about Giant Wood from us, as you can increase your chances of getting 5,000 Gold Tickets with just one Gold Ticket. ”
A golden ticket!
It's so dark.
And I am afraid that I have more information in my hands than you do.
"No, I'll bring the head of the giant tree as soon as possible and get the money ready."
Luke drank the rest of the wine in one gulp and left the bar to walk outside.
The lizardman bartender asked in a loud voice, "Miss Elf, I need your name for a record." ”
"Clear sky...... Clear skies. ”
Came to the back of the tavern door.
Tyce, the evil eye guarding here, opened the door.
"The Chick brothers should be out there...... Poor elves. I said you shouldn't come in. ”
"Thanks for the reminder, Tess."
Luke walked out of the tavern with the sound of the door closing.
The small window on the door opened, and Tess pressed his eyes to the back of the small window.
"You shouldn't go out."
"Tes, this elf chick is right, you talk a lot of nonsense."
After the tavern door closed, the Check brothers walked out of their hiding place.
Luke finds the Chick brothers' profile on his phone.
They belong to the heroes who frequented the Assassin Tavern in Cape City.
The ability is a werewolf bloodline obtained through secret arts, which can be transformed into a werewolf to fight, and has the ability to increase at night. If it's a full moon night, the ability will increase dramatically.
Evaluation: Three stars (the combat effectiveness of the full moon night will have a supermodel performance, reaching the level of three and a half stars)
Luke looked at the sky, and a full moon was rising just above his head.
"I have never seen such a beautiful elf, it is simply a gift from God to the world. Brother, be a little lighter on Miss Elf for a while, if she spends it on her face, it will be worthless! ”
"Got it, brother. I really envy those rich people...... If we had the money, we wouldn't need to sell her. ”
