Chapter Seventy-Two: Hamm's Tavern
"Gollum! What do you two eat? My horse bran bread here is very popular and you get a glass of water with each horse meat chaff cake. Grunt! ”
A lean goblin came running over with a flattering smile on his wrinkled face, enthusiastically recommending the specialties of his tavern.
But before the two women could reply, a young man sat down and said mockingly, "Two ladies, listen to my persuasion, and don't order the horse chaff cake here." Although I have to admit that the taste of horse meat chaff is not bad, I need to drink a lot of water to swallow it, and I will quickly feel thirsty and need to drink a lot of water.
You know what kind of place this is, water is a very precious thing. ”
The young man had a part of orc blood, had a bluish complexion, and could see four slightly longer beast teeth when he spoke. His body was strong, and his exposed arms were full of strong muscles.
He was wearing a torn leather armor full of patches, and the inner lining was also sewn from various pieces of cloth. What catches the eye is a broad-edged broadsword on his back, just by looking at the exaggerated appearance, you can know that it is not something that ordinary people can control. The broad-bladed broadsword is carefully wound with a tarpaulin, which shows the owner's love for it.
When the goblin saw that the young man had ruined his business, he immediately yelled: "Gollum! You half-orc, rotten-mouthed greenskin! Just now, Boss Hamm was kind enough to allow you to postpone the repayment of the money, and gave you a bag of water.
How dare you slander the reputation of our Hamm Tavern, and especially the reputation of the Horse Bran.
Horse bran cake is the best thing to eat, don't you say? Grunt! ”
In order to salvage the reputation of his horse meat chaff cake, the goblin asks the other customers in the store loudly.
However, one customer complained, "Yes, among all the unpalatable foods here, horse meat chaff cakes are delicious." But you use too much salt, and last time I ate a piece of horse bran cake and drank a whole bag of water. ”
"Gollum! The salt was put in so it could be stored longer, and we gave away water, Gollum! ”
"But the water you gave me was only enough to moisten my throat." The young orc broke through the profiteer's trick and turned to the woman and said, "Two ladies, I can see that you have come from afar, probably for the first time in Harmutu.
I remind you that this is still a long way from the nearest oasis. And because of the harvest festival, many sand thieves are ready to make a lot of money during this time.
You'll need a guide who knows Halmutu well, preferably as a bodyguard.
My name is Kairhain, and I have a fine Terran and Orc blood. Hire me and you will have a safe and comfortable trip. ”
The orc Kail Hain sells himself very hard, he arrives at the scorched wood camp and is penniless, and needs a sum of money to pay off his arrears before supporting himself.
He could tell that the two women who came in were rich people, and the fabric of the clothes on them was not something that ordinary people could afford.
At this time, the two women lifted their hoods together to reveal their appearances, and looked at everyone in the tavern for a while.
Female elves and female humans, both of whom have beautiful faces and delicate skin, and whose eyes are full of intellect are incompatible with the tavern in the dust.
Especially the female elf, people can't take their eyes off.
"Hello, Orc Kyle Harin, I'm Elf Sky, and this is my retinue Jenverny, thank you for your kind reminder." Clear Sky turned to the goblin and said, "Two horse meat chaff cakes, the cup of water should be bigger." ”
The beauty of the clear sky is very contagious, and it can resonate with the aesthetics of all races. Even the goblins seem to have seen a beautiful oasis after crossing the desert.
Not to mention the fact that two pieces of horse meat bran cake were sold.
"Gollum! Beautiful Miss Elf, and beautiful Miss Human, two of the most delicious horse meat chaff in Hamm's Tavern will be delivered to you at once...... There is also sweet water as a gift. Grunt! ”
The goblin rushed to the back kitchen with small steps.
The rest of the people in the tavern were still focused on Clear Sky and Jefferney.
Kaelhain was also attracted by the beauty of the clear sky, and couldn't help but praise: "I have seen many elves on my travels, but you are the most special. You must be a noble magician or scholar, I can't be mistaken. ”
Instead of responding to Kairhain's speculation, Clear Sky said, "We do need a guide, and the destination is the Ancestral Steppe on the western side of the Halmutu Basin.
Because we have to travel day and night in a hurry, and we need to take the most convenient road, can you do it? ”
Hearing that the two ladies were going to the Ancestral Grassland, Kai Hayin did not immediately agree, but said: "The Ancestral Grassland is a blessed place formed by the death and collapse of the World Tree, and the source of many rivers in the West comes from the Ancestral Grassland. The elves and orcs there have been mixed up for a long time, and they are very aggressive, and they will not get close to you because you are also an elf.
If you are interested in the World Tree Ruins, I advise you to dispel this idea. All the World Tree relics, even the dead branches of the World Tree, have steppe elf tribes nearby. Once they see it as an invasion, there is only one way out. ”
When Kellhain introduced the dangers of the ancestors in the grassland, the goblin brought two plates of horse meat chaff cakes and two large ale glasses.
Clear Sky looked at the horse meat chaff cake in front of him, and he didn't have a bit of an appetite.
This stuff is first broken up with horse meat, then mixed with bran skin marinated and dried, and finally smoked and stored. You can eat it straight when it's time to eat it, but it's best to heat it up, otherwise it's like gnawing on a rock.
The two pieces of horse meat bran cake are black and large, full of portions, and the aroma is also tempting. The smell of the scent made Kyl Hain swallow a little bit, although he had just tried to belittle the horse meat chaff, it was also something he couldn't afford.
As for the water that was given away.
The cup is very large, but the water only covers the bottom of the cup, and it really only moistens the throat.
Clear Sky picked up the water cup and sprinkled it out, and the little bit of water fell to the dry ground, and was instantly sucked dry by the soil.
Kail Hain couldn't help but let out an exclamation, looked at the little trace of water left on the ground, and said regretfully, "Miss Elf, you don't like dirty water, you can give it to me." ”
Jefferney then poured the water out of her cup.
Kairhain exclaimed, "No, you can get here, don't you know how precious water is?" ”
Ignoring Kyle Harin, Clear Sky pulled out a glass bottle filled with a pure blue liquid that she could hold in one hand. In the shaking liquid, there are halos of light.
Kyle Hain is a real thing, and knows that this is definitely a very valuable magic item, but he doesn't know what it does.
He stared at the bottle in Clear Sky's hand and watched as a drop of blue liquid was poured into the water glass. Then a blue halo gushes up from the bottom of the cup like a spring, and then spills out a blue mist along the edge of the cup.
Clear Sky complained, "I asked the goblin to take the big cup, but it's still so small!" ”
As soon as the words of the clear sky fell, the blue mist suddenly turned into water and surged upwards from the inside of the cup. Clear Sky unleashed a spell in his hand, and the overflowing water turned into a stream of water that flowed into Jenverny's cup.
It wasn't until Jenfni's cup was filled that the water stopped generating.
Many people in the tavern stood up when they saw this, their eyes full of greedy gaze. Just one drop of that liquid can conjure up so much water, and that full bottle of liquid is a supreme treasure in the desert.
Clear Sky casually put the bottle on the table: "This contains the essence of the water element. As long as you are willing to take us to the ancestral grassland, it will be yours. ”
Clear Sky took a sip of the water glass, proving that the water was harmless.
Clear Sky knows where the ancestral grassland is, but in the game, it is "flying" all the way through teleportation, and it is easy to take a fork in the road if you walk on two legs. Therefore, it is necessary to hire a guide to save a lot of time and unnecessary trouble.
Kail Ha was afraid that the clear sky would regret it, so he grabbed the water element essence bottle: "I took this business!" My hometown is the grassland of the ancestors, and I promise to send you safely. ”
"Very well, eat these, we're ready to go." Clear Sky shoved two pieces of horse chaff in front of Kyle Hain.
Kyle Hain was surprised and asked, "I, I ate, what do you eat?" ”
"We brought food."
"Thank you!" Kyle Hain picked up a horse bran cake and took a big bite, calling out to the goblin for him to fetch a large glass of wine.
Only a mouthful of horsemeat chaff was sent down by a very light wine, and the comfort and enjoyment made Kellhain look satisfied, he had not eaten so happily in a long time.
Once this task is completed, find another place to sell a full bottle of Water Elemental Essence. Not only can you pay off the arrears, but you can also live a good life comfortably for a long time.
No, you can't sell out the water elemental essence all at once......
Kellhain gulped down and planned his future before seeing Jenverny take out several cylindrical tin cans and place them on the table, then take out a dagger and cut them along the edges.
Then all kinds of aromas diffuse from the cracks of the tin can.
Kellhain inhaled the smell deeply, and immediately felt that the horse chaff cake in his hand was not fragrant.
"What is this?"
Sunny Sky replied: "Canned, you can seal the food." ”
Jenvernie opened a few cans, and the variety exploded Kyle Harin's eyeballs.
Stewed meat soaked in a thick soup, succulent vegetables, and precious fruit salad......
There's even a jar of sea fish.
With a meow, a black cat jumped out of nowhere and jumped onto the table. He squatted down very coldly, and said dissatisfiedly: "I smell the smell of fish, shouldn't I start eating, I'm hungry!" ”
Then Jenvernie placed a box of canned fish in front of the black cat under the gaze of Kyl Hain.
The black cat dared to eat such a precious sea fish, and Kellhain just wanted to pull out the knife and cut off his cat's head with one sword.
When Jenverni uses fire magic to heat up the cans that need to be heated, the aroma is even stronger, causing everyone in the tavern to get excited.
But elves and human women are clearly magicians, and if they want to move, they must first weigh their own weight.
And the tavern's owner, Hamm, had come from the back kitchen to the front desk, and the fact that this strong orc was able to open the tavern here had nothing to do with his proud culinary skills.
Hamm walked over to the Clear Sky table after listening to the goblins tell him what had happened here.
Hamm has grass-green skin and is two meters tall. His head was combed with barbarian-style pigtails, earrings, nose rings, and two fangs protruding from the corners of his mouth. He wore an apron covered in greasy and charcoal black, and his bare upper body was full of muscular mass, with totem and rune tattoos on it.
Hamm looked down at Clear Sky, Jenverny, and the Black Cat, and said in a bell-like voice, "Carrying water and fresh food with you, Hamm's Tavern has not received such a big man for a long time.
There is news that there will be a lot of bad things happening at this year's harvest festival, and it looks like the news is likely to be true.
Two ladies, you are going to the ancestral grassland, can I know the purpose of your trip? ”
Kyle Hain stood up and confronted Hamm: "Mr. Hamm, these two ladies are my employer. They don't pick things and pay for food and chairs to rest in.
Please don't disturb the ladies for dinner, we'll leave when we're done. ”
Hamm glanced at Kyle Harin: "Boy, if you are overpaid, you will die if you take on an unknown task." You know that the elves of the Ancestral Steppe don't like alien elves, especially those fierce war songs, and will kill anything they think will destroy the remains of the World Tree. ”
Then Hamm said to Clear Sky, "I don't know what you big men have come to Halmutu for, please don't involve us inferior people who are eating from the sand."
I'll ask Kyle Hain to give you back your things, and I'll exempt you from spending money here, and leave when you're done. ”
Clear Sky didn't look at Hamm, she took a fork and ate the canned food, and at the same time responded: "Yes, the choice of commission is a two-way street, and I will not force anyone to take us to the ancestral grassland." I'm sure there will be someone in this room who will be willing to accept this task for a bottle of water elemental essence. ”
Hamm said to Kyle Hain, "Give it back to Miss Elf." ”
"No!" Kyle Hain decisively refused: "Hamm, Miss Elf is right, as long as I give up, the people in this room will rush to take this task." But no one here knows the grasslands better than I do, and I know how to get them safely where they want to go. ”
By this time the sheriff had finished eating a box full of canned fish, and he licked his paws and washed his face, and said in a contemptuous tone, "Foolish orcs, I don't know that the orcs are favored by Lady Luck today.
Being recruited by the great Miss Clear Sky as an entourage was a turning point in his life. From today onwards, the ordinary and the poor will be far away, and strength and honor will follow.
Get down on your knees and offer your loyalty to Miss Sunny Sky! ”
Kyle Hain corrected, "It's a hire!" I'm not Miss Weathersky's entourage, and when I get to my destination, the employment relationship ends. ”
The sheriff said regretfully: "That's a pity, you originally had a chance to change your fate." Of course, you can swear allegiance at any time during the employment relationship and become Miss Clearsky's entourage. ”
Kyle Hain wanted to cut off the cat's head and kick it out again.
