Jingle bell~

The brass worn-colored doorbell shook, the creaking wooden door of the tavern was pushed open, and the bitter cold wind howled to follow Li Si into the tavern.

Li Si, dressed as an ordinary mercenary, closed the door and looked at the slightly narrow tavern.

Perhaps because of the cold winters here, the tavern windows were small circular holes carved out of the thick brick walls, which had now been firmly sealed with thick planks and cotton cloth. A roaring fire burned in the dark fireplace on the side, bringing enough warmth to the tavern in the cold of winter.

While the fireplace and a few magic stone lamps alone couldn't completely dispel the darkness in the room, they didn't stop the mercenaries from shouting and shouting.

There is also a drunken bard playing and singing heroic poems by the wall.

This is the Mercenary Tavern in Snow Ridge Town, and like the Mercenary Tavern in other places, it is a favorite place for mercenaries to spend their free time.

A glass of mellow ale, a plate of cured ham, and a few friends who are willing to listen can kill the whole day, go home drunk and sleep, completely soothe the tense nerves when going out for many days to complete the commission, and relax.

However, Lees noticed the difference in this tavern here.

Many of the mercenaries were relatively stronger, with a high nose bridge and a pale complexion, all of which had some characteristics of the northern Dillon Kingdom, and Lees even saw several dwarves and two cat half-orcs among the mercenaries.

Looking at the half-orc's furry ears and happily swinging tail, Li Si was also a little emotional.

As Li Si gradually left the hinterland of the human kingdom, adventurers from other races began to gradually appear in the mercenary guild.

In the previous life, there were many players who frantically complained about the game company, and the blood and tears accused why they could only choose humans and not other races.

This is the town of Snow Ridge, and after separating from the Fez caravan, Lees sets out on his journey alone.

As the border between the Fez Kingdom and the Dillon Kingdom, the Luoxue Mountains have little control over the two kingdoms, while the Snow Ridge Town, as a town established by the Fez Kingdom next to the Luoxue Mountains, relies on the rich specialties and precious ores in the mountains, and its development is not bad.

Most of the mercenaries who came here were ready to go to the mountains to hunt magical beasts and obtain precious materials.

If Li Si went alone, it was much faster than the caravan, and even so, it took Li Si half a month to get here.

This is the destination of Leth's journey, and the remnants of the legendary Arcanist.

Although Li Si got a lot of useful information from his teacher, it was all scattered clues, and he had to continue to work hard to find the ruins.

The first is to gather intelligence!

Li Si walked straight to the tavern bar and sat down, and said to the tavern waiter:

"A big glass of cold ale, and a honey pickled fish."

Cold ale is made from a special cold wheat from the North, which is a new breed of wheat specially trained by the druids of the Oak Sage, which can survive the cold of the Northland, but the yield is lower than that of normal wheat.

The cold ale made from this wheat has a refreshing taste, especially the unique and long fragrance that many people will want to stop, and of course the price is much higher.

Honey-cured fish is a specialty here, and the small fish caught in the stream are smoked and marinated in honey to preserve them for a long time, making them a unique flavor during the long winter.

When Li Si came to the north in his previous life, he liked this snack quite a lot, and the sweet taste made people want to stop.

"Okay, please wait."

The waiter at this mercenary tavern is a mature and generous beauty.

She replied with a smile, her clothes simple and broad-minded.

While~

She gently placed the plate containing several small black and red fish in front of Lis, and then with some difficulty brought up the wooden beer glass filled with dark yellow ale.

The tavern was relatively clean, and although it didn't look great on the outside, the glasses and plates looked relatively clean, and the bar counter didn't have the usual black grease stains.

After seeing that everything was on the list, Li Si did not rush to taste it, but took out a Fez gold coin.

Duh. Duh.

The brand-new gold coin, bearing the Fez's royal sword badge and the Dawn Church's Morning Light emblem, was tucked between the fingers of his right hand by Liss and tapped gently against the dark gray wooden table at the bar.

"It's my first time in Snow Ridge Town, and there are some things I want to ask, but I don't know who to look for?"

The waitress did not stare at the gold coin in Li Si's hand, but threw a wink at Li Si and said with a smile:

"If it weren't for some secret information, I think I could."

"Okay."

Li Si said with a smile, anyway, he was just thinking about some basic information now.

With a flick of its fingers, the coin made a crisp sound, sliding through the air in a graceful arc and falling into the deep canyon in the waitress's chest.

The waitress chuckled, and unconcernedly took the gold coin from her clothes, kissed it lightly with her red lips, and put it away with satisfaction.

"My name is Yulia, is there anything you would like to ask?"

Yulia pulled a few strands of brown hair behind her ears, leaned lazily on the bar, and looked at Li Si with a smile in her eyes, not caring at all about the scenery on her chest.

Li Si didn't care about Yulia's charm at all, just kidding, use this to test me who has been through a hundred battles?

"I heard that there will be a purple fog here in Snowridge Town?"

"That's exactly what happens."

Yulia glanced at Li Si sequely, nodded and replied.

This is the first time she has met someone who asks this, could it be that this young man is here to watch the tour?

"That's the special weather in Snow Ridge Town, and every autumn and winter, this kind of purple fog will appear from time to time."

"At first, I thought it was pretty beautiful and dreamy, but after watching it for a long time, it was like that."

"Do you know the extent of each fog?"

Li Si picked up a piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth, felt the sweet taste, and then asked.

"I really don't know about this, it should be a small part of Snow Ridge Town and the nearby Falling Snow Mountains, I haven't heard of it in other places."

Yulia was silent for a moment and said, becoming even more curious about Li Si.

"Is that so?"

Li Si thought for a moment, picked up his wine glass and took a long sip of cold ale.

"Are there any ruins around Snowridge?"

Yulia didn't hesitate this time, she was familiar with this one after all her years of working in the Mercenary Tavern.

"No, I've never heard of a mercenary who has found ruins in the nearby Luoxue Mountains."

Li Si nodded, this was similar to the situation in his previous life, and he was also mentally prepared.

"By the way, are there any legends in Snow Ridge Town, I'm curious about this?"

Yulia thought for a moment and said with a smile:

"Yes, but that's the one related to Snow Ridge Town."

Ah~ Treasure I'm coming!
