"Where are you going, Lord Soth?" Bernard stepped forward and asked.

Zuo Si replied bluntly: "I'm looking for a hotel, eat a delicious meal with local characteristics, and rest in the best room for a night." In addition, this guy needs to send a message to his men to raise a ransom. ”

"If that's all you have, you can leave it to me. My name is Epuk, and I'm the leader of a thieves' guild in Port Carlin. The bald fat man hurriedly took the opportunity to introduce himself.

Despite the considerable number of arcane spellcasters in Port Carlin, almost half of the royal guards were mages or warlocks.

But that's all under the control of the government and the royal family.

With a gangster-like underground organization like the Thieves' Guild, it is quite difficult to recruit a powerful spellcaster.

Generally speaking, only those mages who are not in the middle of the stream will choose to give up further learning and exploring esoteric magical knowledge and start serving the leaders of the thieves' guild.

With a mage under his command who can cast the Triple Ring Arcane, Epke knows all too well how incredible the power a high-level caster can unleash at a critical moment.

Among other things, the mere means of resurrecting hundreds of undead in one breath as Bernard just described was enough to directly change and reverse the outcome of a guild war.

So he wanted to take this opportunity to see if he could get closer and find a new ally for himself.

"Oh? May I? Not bothersome, right? ”

Zuo Si deliberately pretended not to know how to do it and blinked.

He was not a fool, so he naturally saw the intention of the bald fat man in front of him.

But it doesn't matter.

Anyway, Zuo Si didn't plan to stay in Port Carlin for a long time.

Once the ransom is paid, he will set off for the north.

Go to Amm to see if you can't help Bernard solve the trouble of inheriting the Chamber of Commerce, and then go to Candle Keep or Waterdeep to learn about magic.

"Nope! Of course not! It's a privilege to have the privilege of meeting such a powerful spellcaster as you. What's more, I'm an old friend of Captain Bloodhand. ”

As he spoke, Epuk set his gaze on Hallette, who had a decadent face and a sour smell.

The latter rolled his eyes angrily: "Don't be so affectionate." At best, we use each other, not friends at all. ”

"It makes me so sad to say that."

Epke clutched his chest and struck a heartbroken look.

But soon, he couldn't help laughing and teasing: "But you're really embarrassed now!" Hahahaha! ”

Faced with the taunts from his old acquaintances, Harlett was angry and cursed angrily: "Damn it! You bastard, just laugh to your heart's content! There are times when you cry.

Wait and see, I'll be able to make a comeback soon.

By the way, help me deliver a message.

Let Eric bring enough gold coins, plus all the books and scrolls in the collection, to ransom me in Puerto Carlin.

You should know how to contact him. ”

"Don't worry, I'll help you bring the message, and it's free."

Almost without hesitation, Epke agreed.

From this alone, it can be seen that the relationship between the two is much better than what they just showed.

At least the leader of the Thieves' Guild didn't fall into the trap, and he didn't have the intention of directly arresting people and sending them to Ammu for a bounty after the ransom was paid.

After paying the dock officials port fees, berthing fees, and a small bribe to completely ignore the contraband in the cargo, the group left the noisy and stinking dock and handed the ship over to a dozen thieves' guild thugs.

Passing through several bustling and heavily trafficked main thoroughfares, Epke soon stopped in front of an inn called Happy Hour.

Through the hidden door, you can vaguely hear the sound of music coming from inside, as well as the excited screams and shouts of the guests.

When he pushed open the door and walked in, the originally warm atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Zuo Si could even see that the women standing on the table dancing in tulle tensed all over their bodies in an instant, and the whole person froze in place and didn't dare to move.

And those guests who were still in a state of excitement one second, the next second they all closed their mouths and sat down to keep quiet.

Because everyone knows that the bald fat man who walked in and the thieves' guild under him are the real rulers of this street, holding the life and death and fate of everyone in their hands.

No doubt!

This is the deterrent effect of rights.

It is also something that more than a dozen thieves' guilds, large and small, in Port Carlin are deceitful and fighting each other, and they have to grab them no matter what.

Epke undoubtedly enjoyed the scene, and deliberately slowed down his pace, and it took him half a minute to walk up to the bar owner and give a straightforward order: "I am going to entertain a few important guests on the second floor now." Give you three minutes to clear out the entire second floor, then ask the chef to stop what he's doing and prepare the best dish for me. ”

"Ming...... Got it! Rest assured, I'll arrange it right away. ”

The boss, who looked to be in his fifties, was obviously frightened, and hurriedly trotted up to the second floor, and couldn't help but kick out the guests who were eating, and didn't even collect the money for the meal.

At the same time, the male employee in charge of serving the food also entered the kitchen and told the busy cooks to immediately give priority to the Guild Leader's request.

The whole process is full of efficiency that cannot be described in words.

In just about 15 minutes, the group sat around the window table on the second floor, tasting the restaurant's most distinctive food while enjoying the busy scene of the street outside.

Epke even called the dancers downstairs to feed Harlett, who couldn't eat on her own.

During the meal, whether it was Bernard, Epke, or Harlett, who had become a captive, they were all secretly observing Zuosi's eating movements, habits, and reactions to various different tastes and raw dishes.

From these details, they want to find out where this "necromancer", who always gives people an unfathomable appearance, comes from, whether he has received education in using rituals, what preferences or weaknesses he can exploit, and so on.

But unfortunately, Zuo Si's performance was almost impeccable.

In terms of dining etiquette, he was professionally trained when he was on earth, and he used knives, forks, and spoons to the eye.

The whole process did not touch the food with his fingers, nor did he leave the soup in the corners of his mouth.

He was also very careful to completely separate the common utensils from his own utensils, so as to prevent all possible direct contact.

And that's not all!

After eating, the waiter also uses boiling water to soak and disinfect the used utensils, bowls, plates, etc.

The elegant manners, movements, and hygienic habits that made the scalp tingle, even Hallett, who was from an aristocratic background, couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of himself.

In the eyes of the pirate captain, Zuo Si's etiquette would not be rude even if he went to the royal court to dine.

Other than that, no matter what the taste and ingredients of the dish he ate, his face remained normal at all times, and there was no trace of surprise, joy or other similar reactions.

Many dishes that are already delicious in the eyes of others are not touched a second time after he has only tasted them, obviously disgusted and unpalatable.

Even if these dishes are added with a lot of expensive spices and condiments.

You must know that in Feilun, spices are an out-and-out luxury.

A small bag of more expensive spices is worth the sum of all the income of ordinary people who do not eat or drink for half a month or even a month.

Those who can eat spices often belong to the aristocratic or wealthy class.

Summing up the above, the three people who observed secretly can basically conclude that Zuo Si not only has a very privileged background.

And the requirements for food quality are very high, almost to the point of harshness.

They didn't know that the dishes that Zuo Si didn't eat were completely indiscriminate with spices, which made the whole dish taste very weird, and it didn't meet the taste of modern earthlings at all.
