CHAPTER XXXIX
Noticing that the building in front of him was a place of consumption, Shi Junjun hesitated for a moment, but still walked into the house at the invitation of the townspeople of Santan Town in front of him, and sat at the table by the window facing the street.
Before leaving, the girl brought the otherworldly currency that the goblin village had accumulated when trading with the human caravan in the past, three gold coins, seventeen silver coins, and a large pile of copper coins, and the three silver coins that had been bribed by the soldiers before entering the town, and the remaining heavy head was still in the money bag she carried with her, and the crisp sound of the coins clinking when she walked made her feel confident when she walked into the tavern.
According to broccoli, this money is enough for an average human rural family to cover a year's expenses, which should be more than enough to cope with the current situation.
As the only tavern in Santan, the interior furnishings are actually quite rudimentary, with only a few rough wooden tables and two dozen low and high stools, except for the wooden cabinets and bar counters for wine.
"What do guests want to drink? Why don't you try the wines of our town of Santan, three years? Five years? Or do you want to have a 10-year-old cuvée that you treasure? ”
"I'm sorry I don't drink......"
"Don't be kidding, how can there be adventurers in this world who don't drink?"
The tavernkeeper Fernando's face was full of disbelief at first, but after a little thought, he was overjoyed:
"Do you dislike the wine of our town of Santan? It doesn't matter, there is also a stock of wine from the northern estate of South Lysyphus a few years ago, and the quality is absolutely superb......"
"I'm sorry, but I really don't drink." The girl repeated her previous words, "If it's convenient for you, please prepare some food for me, and then I have a few questions for you." ”
The tavern owner, who repeatedly confirmed that Shi Junjun didn't need any alcoholic beverages, turned around and walked to the back kitchen in frustration, and after a few minutes of jingling noise, he angrily brought out a plate of food and threw it in front of Shi Junjun.
The smell of fascination seemed to be a paste made of potatoes and beans, and next to it was half a loaf of bread as black as coal.
The girl was stunned for a long time in the face of the paste, but she still picked up the black bread next to her and took a small bite......
After three seconds, she silently took the intact black bread out of her mouth, leaving only a shallow tooth mark, and covered the sore half of her cheeks.
Are you sure you brought me bread and not a stone disguised as bread?
"Looks like you can't get used to black bread." The tavern keeper, who saw the girl's embarrassment, suggested again, "Why don't I bring you a piece of fluffy and fragrant white bread that has just been baked?" ”
Shi Junjun rejected his proposal again, the purpose of this trip is just to collect intelligence, there is no way to obtain the currency of the other world now, and it can save a copper coin is a copper coin.
However, these food points are ordered, and it is not good to waste them all, so eat a little more.
With this in mind, the girl put down the black bread, picked up the wooden spoon, scooped a large spoonful of paste and beans into her mouth, chewed it, twice, three times.
......
Why don't you have a piece of white bread?
The girl silently put the wooden spoon back on the plate, looked up at the tavern owner who was in a bad mood because he had made a lot of money, and said after considering the words:
"I'm an adventurer from a far away province in the north of the kingdom, and I'm not familiar with the situation in your southern Siphus, can you introduce me to one or two?"
Thiago Fernando glanced at her, then turned his head as if he had turned a deaf ear and whistled.
Shi Junjun thought for a moment, took out a silver coin from the money bag and put it on the table, and pushed it in the direction where the tavern owner was.
"Oh my God, you're the right question."
Almost teleporting over without a trace, Thiago Fernando sat down in front of the girl with a flattering smile and began to explain to her the information about South Risifus, such as the population, geographical location, distribution of towns, customs, and the history of the land......
Halfway through speaking, the tavern owner seemed to remember something, and suddenly changed the subject:
"IMHO, if you want to take on the commission, you'll have to head to Reberion in South Lysyphus, the most prosperous place in the center of South Rissyphus, where the only adventurer's guild and lord's castle in the region are located."
"Delegate a task?"
"Aren't you an adventurer?" Fernando, the tavern owner, replied suspiciously, "In a small town like ours, there are usually no commissions, and even if there is, it will usually be released in the Adventurers' Guild in Reberion." ”
Only then did he remember that he was now an adventurer, and Junjun came back to his senses and nodded to acquiesce to his statement.
"When I was younger, I also wanted to be an adventurer, until I was hit by an arrow in the knee......"
The tavernkeeper, who couldn't see any signs of exercise on his body at all, sighed and continued:
"Sorry for the off-topic...... However, the fact that there is no commission in the village does not mean that there is no now, because it is said that the monsters in the forest are about to attack our town in droves, but after a few days, there is no sign of it, so the adventurer's guild has issued a notice to each town, calling on adventurers and brave young people in the area to go to the forest to check the movement of monsters. ”
Monsters are about to attack human towns? The girl who heard the news frowned, why hadn't she and the goblins found any clues these days?
"But everyone knows that there are many dangers in the forest, not to mention that when the monsters are about to attack, it is easy to lose your life if you rush forward, so there are no young people in the town during this time......"
After saying this, the tavern keeper sneered and said:
"But this time, the attitude of the Adventurer's Guild seems to be extremely resolute, and if no one answers the call in the town in two days, it will randomly select people from among the civilians to form a reconnaissance team......"
Unfortunately, due to his previous debts, the captain of the soldiers of the Santan Town garrison who was in charge of this lottery had a very bad impression of himself, and that cautious bastard would definitely choose him 100% during the lottery process.
Thiago Fernando knew that with his current stature, he could lose half his life if he went around the forest, not to mention that he had to enter the dangerous forest to investigate the movements of monsters, and this body would have to be explained there.
"So if you can take the initiative to go to the forest to find out the current movements of the monster, I will be grateful to you."
The tavern owner glanced at the cute silver coin in his hand that was not yet hot, and finally was reluctant to return it to the original owner, Shi Junjun:
"In return, this meal is what I invited you, and all your consumption at Fernando's Tavern in the future will be free...... Oh no, half price. ”
