The carriage stopped in front of a tavern.

"This is sure to be what you're looking for."

Annan listened to the coachman's words and looked at the façade of the tavern with the traces of time.

Paying the fare, Klein pushed the door open. Blocked all the eyes of the tavern.

Elites are very difficult to mess with, and a heavily armored knight is even unwilling to provoke a mage. Especially when it is followed by a mage and the eternal water elemental.

Only the women glued their eyes to the boy who walked to the counter, hot and longing. The girl even thought that she could give him money if he wanted to.

Annan was about to book two rooms, but Klein decided that a wall would hinder perception, so he asked for the largest room.

"Another bucket of hot water."

"No, you don't."

When Annan was worried about how Klein would clean, the brilliance of the cleansing technique flashed on the armor.

Well, whether or not to take a bath is just a psychological problem for Klein.

"Prepare two more portions of Eastrat's specialty."

Annan said, telling Lemon to find a seat, and he and Klein went upstairs to confirm the room.

The largest rooms are indeed spacious, and more than enough to fit a few more heavy armor Klein.

They go downstairs and suddenly find that Lemon has forcibly taken control of a guest.

"Sorry...... My water element is not very smart. ”

Annan, who realized that Lemon had caused trouble, hurriedly went over to apologize.

An elite spellcaster was so sincere that the guest had to smile bitterly and say that it was okay. After a while, his friend came over, and the guest seemed to tell a legendary story, rendering what had just happened with a legendary color.

Annan and Klein sat in the corner with lemons, and the waiter brought the food

A pie-like flower cake, a honey roast, and a glass of petal juice.

Pick up a piece of flower cake and gently break it, and the sticky syrup comes out of the filling.

They are all sweet and greasy.

Annan asked the waitress who was deliberately rubbing beside her and refused to leave: "Huadu people don't often eat these, right?" ”

Otherwise, the streets should be full of Aunt Susan by now

"These aren't cheap, sir."

2 silver coins and 13 copper coins, even in the commercially developed south, is equivalent to a day's and a half salary for an ordinary worker.

"Thank you."

The waitress reluctantly left at the tavernkeeper's greeting. Annan looked at the same food in front of Klein: "How do you eat?" ”

Klein lifted the visor of the helmet and plunged into the shadow created by the helmet.

Annan stopped raising the oil lamp to see clearly, and tasted the flower cake, the soft and sweet taste made him feel that the elf should be able to accept it. But when he tasted the syrup, the sweetness gushing out made him miss the flower cake and fell to the ground.

Before he could pick it up three seconds ago, a withered claw suddenly reached out from a gap in the corner of the wall and grabbed the flower cake.

Annan looked up, Klein chewed quietly, and the other guests whispered about their business.

Don't be surprised and pretend that the locals don't care......

Annan looked down on business: "We're too early, there's still a month before the celebration, but we can get on good terms with the local nobles first." ”

"What do you want to do? I'll do it. ”

Annan said while breaking the part of the flower cake that was not syrupy on the edge, "No, I already have an idea. ”

Bowing his head and placing the syrup-filled flower cake next to the "rat hole", Annan stood up and looked around the tavern: "Is there a merchant who sells information here?" ”

The tavern was silent with the sound of conversation, and then a middle-aged man dressed as a mercenary in shabby leather armor got up and walked this way.

Annan sat back and looked down at the "rat hole", and there was not even any residue left.

Retracting his gaze, the middle-aged man sat unceremoniously in the empty seat: "You are the heir of a great noble family?" Don't shout like that, those who want to sell intelligence will be too scared to come. ”

"What about you?"

"I really want to sell it." The middle-aged man stretched out his finger and poked it into the hole in his leather armor, "As you can see, I'm already going to sleep on the street." ”

"What information do you want to buy?"

"Are there any banquets for nobles to gather in these two days?"

The best way to integrate into the local aristocratic circle is to attend banquets, and the best way for Annam to integrate into the local aristocratic circles is to attend women's banquets.

The intelligence merchant showed a look of "worthy of being a nobleman": "No one cares about this, I need some time to inquire." ”

"Delivered to my room tonight."

"No problem."

According to the transaction of the intelligence merchant, Annan was paid half of the first amount, 5 silver coins.

It's not that hard, it's even easy, otherwise the other eavesdropping tipsters wouldn't have looked annoyed.

"By the way, why are the houses here so old?"

Even Annan, who is accustomed to gorgeous flowers, is a little uncomfortable.

The intelligence merchant said: "This is the old town of Huadu, the place with the longest history, and Istriat was not called Huadu at that time. ”

It's no wonder that the sight of flowers everywhere in other places is full of gardens and disappears after it comes, and at most there are potted plants on the windowsill.

Klein ate her share, and she seemed to like it. Annan still has honey roast and petal juice left. The former secretly gave the presence in the rat hole, and the latter gave lemon.

As night fell, Annan could see the starry lights in the distance from the back of the street, and the surrounding old town would look squash.

Knock Knock Knock –

There was a knock on the door, and Annan glanced at Klein, who opened the door.

Tipsters in shabby leather armor stood outside.

He brought the news that Annam needed: it happened that tomorrow there would be a banquet in the garden of the south of the city, with most ladies and ladies, and it was said that the princess would also attend.

"Are you with me?"

"Is armor allowed at banquets?"

"I'm afraid not."

"Then I'll wait outside."

Klein preferred not to follow Annan and not go far to take off her armor.

"No, let's go our separate ways."

Klein went to sell maple syrup, and Annan went to charm the noblewoman of Huadu.

Annan tossed the magic ring containing his full worth to Klein, hesitated a little, asked for it again, and put the black gemstone earrings that he had only worn once in his pocket.

In the dead of night, Annan began to meditate, and Klein stood motionless by the door like an armor stand.

All that was left in the room was the flowing lemons and the next room......

A new day arrived, and Annan set off for the south of the city, coming to the garden street where the convoy was lined up.

The magical creatures couldn't enter, and Annan told Lemon to go back to Klein.

Annan couldn't enter because he didn't have an invitation, so he had to imitate Olmedo and put on a comfortable smile: "I forgot to bring ...... Will anyone doubt that I am not a nobleman? ”

The guard was stunned, looked at Annan a few times, and waved his hand: "Okay, let's go in, let's go in......"

"Thank you."

It's easier than you think, it seems that you don't have to disguise yourself as a waiter to sneak into the banquet anymore, thinking about Annan walked into the garden.

"It's really self-defeating......"

"What?"

Annan, who vaguely heard something, turned around, but the doorman was no longer visible in the lively street.
