The sun sets, and the sunset melts gold.

Chen Cheng stepped on land again after half a month, and couldn't help cheering, showing some excitement. The people around me were not surprised by this performance. They were a large trading post, and they were used to the excitement of seeing sailors go ashore.

He looked around excitedly, it was already evening, the wharf was crowded with people, the hawkers were shouting and selling, and the merchant ships were coming in and out.

All the way out of the dock and into the street, two rows of bright street lamps caught his attention, and for a moment he seemed to be back in time, familiar with that world.

Putting unrealistic ideas out of his mind, he still sighed, "It's so prosperous" This is the first time he has seen a wide range of lighting equipment in nine years.

Signboard lights are also lit up early on both sides of the street to attract merchants.

Walking along the streets with the flow of people, the red maples on both sides of the road slowly fall, adding a bit of romance to this prosperous city.

A flickering light came, and when I turned my head, I saw a group of girls in cool clothes, standing under the neon signs, chirping, and two coquettish laughter came from time to time.

"Well, you can't look at it more, or you won't be sanctioned." Quickly turning his head back, he began to look around, the hotel tavern.

As it gets dark, it's imperative to find a hotel to stay in and fill your stomach. Maybe it's because it's so bustling that most of the hotels on the lowest floor are full.

I had no choice but to go to the second floor, the tall city wall firmly enclosed the second floor, leaving only four gates to be handled by the guards, which needed to be verified before entering.

The already short line passed quickly, and soon it was Chen Yan's turn.

"Please show your ID," the soldier sitting at the gate of the city wall did not look up, and said flatly.

"Ga" briquettes screamed softly, attracting the attention of the soldiers, who looked up at Chen Cheng.

"Pets and weapons are not allowed in the inner city, please take care of it and come back." The soldier's tone remained flat, without a hint of fluctuation. I don't know how many times I have to encounter such a situation in a day, and I have long been numb.

Chen Cheng was rummaging through his waist with his hands at this time.

"Sir, please leave." Seeing that he had not left, the soldier repeated the side, but this time with a hint of impatience in his tone.

"Found it" pulled out the brass-colored badge hidden at his waist, and the two crossed blades were clearly visible. Chen Cheng handed the badge to the guards.

"It can prove my identity."

"It's not a badge that can prove your identity, you have to go to the port to handle ......it," he glanced at the soldier who handed over the badge and said casually, until he saw the two shining blades, and the words stopped.

Raising his head and looking at Chen Cheng in a daze, he stretched out his hand and turned the badge over, and a string of detailed characters appeared in front of him.

"Thank you for coming to the Land of Red Maple." The soldier's attitude turned 180 degrees, and even his tone became flattering.

"I can bring my crow and knife in."

"Of course, if you need help, contact us." The soldier quickly copied the code and respectfully handed him back the badge.

After receiving the medal and officially entering the second layer, Chen Cheng kept rubbing his fingers against the hunter badge, and he didn't expect that just a registered hunter could get such preferential treatment.

Unlike the first floor, it is much quieter, and the pedestrians on the street are dressed in more elaborate jewelry than the first floor.

Glancing around, he soon found a luxuriously decorated five-story hotel. Pushing the door in, the rich aroma of wine and food fills the tip of the nose, and the first floor is used as a canteen and tavern, unlike the quiet you might expect.

"Guest, whether you are here to stay or eat." The hotel staff hurriedly came to receive him, and at the same time, seeing his age, silently crossed the wine.

"Yes, open the room first, I'll put the things away." He pointed to the big bag behind him and followed him to the counter.

"Three-one-one, you take it."

"Refund more and make up less."

After taking the key, Chen Cheng took out a 10,000-denomination krona and pressed it at the front desk.

Follow the front desk up to the third floor, open the door of 311, and you will see a small bedroom. Hurriedly put down his bag and returned to the first floor to order, he was already hungry.

"A few plates of red maple specialties and a plate of nuts."

In a short time, four plates of red maple specialties were served.

The thumb-sized river fish is fried to golden, exuding a burnt aroma, and when you bite into it, even the fish bones are crispy, and you don't feel a trace of greasy with a special sauce.

A plate of six muffins is piled on top of each other, drizzled with the unique maple sugar of red maple, which is sweet in the mouth, followed by the softness of the muffin.

As for the most special thing, the black bugs, when he first came up, Chen Cheng thought that it was a briquette by mistake. After asking, I found out that this insect only appears on maple trees, and is called the maple leaf insect by their locals. Only the size of a little finger, the whole body is dark brown, and it is fried over high heat to make it extremely crispy.

Seeing that the briquettes seemed to be interested in this plate of bugs, he picked one up with chopsticks and swallowed it in three or two bites, and it didn't seem to taste good.

One person and one crow, quickly solved the food in front of him, and slumped in the chair to rest.

"Whew, it's been a long time since I've eaten such a delicious meal."

"Quack, quack."

"You explain to me clearly why the bounty task is completed and you don't give me a bounty." An angry roar attracted Chen Cheng's attention.

Turning his head to look, he saw a strong man dressed in animal skin, his face flushed and excitedly patting the bar counter, questioning the bartender standing in the bar.

"What you give does not meet the employer's requirements, naturally there will be no bounty." The bartender is tall and tall, with a waistcoat without a hint of wrinkles. At this moment, facing the fierce strong man, his expression was cold.

"Then you give me back the materials I handed in."

"No, your employer lost what you handed in."

The green muscles burst out, and the suppressed anger erupted violently on the beast-skin man, and a punch suddenly burst out, and the bar was shattered in response. The sputtered sawdust spreads in all directions.

Chen Cheng shook his head and flashed the flying debris, and saw the strong man turn around and walk out of the hotel.

"Huh? He didn't seem to dare to make a move on the bartender. The whisper was heard by the uncle at the next table.

"Of course, unless that man wants to die, how can he do anything to the bartender, it's the Night Raven Tavern." Uncle spoke proudly of the Night Raven Tavern, as if it was something terrible.

"The kid sees that you are a foreigner, the Night Raven Tavern is our bounty union here, as long as there is money, all the big and small things on the island can be handed over to them to settle down." Without waiting for Chen Cheng to continue asking, the uncle continued to speak.

"And this is the Raven Tavern?"

"No, only that bartender is. Night Ravens can be found in every tavern in the Land of Red Maple. ”

After listening to the uncle's explanation, he can be regarded as having a general understanding of the power of the night crow.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the farce just now has disturbed everyone. Sorry, a cup of red maple per person is considered an apology for everyone. ”

The orange-red wine glass was quickly delivered to each guest, and the waiter hesitated a little when it was handed to Chen Cheng.

"I'm an adult" took the glass and drank it all.

The wine is cold, with a hint of maple sugar sweetness in the mouth, and after swallowing, a coolness begins to spread from the stomach upwards, and with the feeling of coolness in the breath, it goes straight to the heavenly spirit cover.
