"Is this Akureyri?"

Looking at the small city in front of him, the city walls were all broken, and as far as he could see with the naked eye, half of it had collapsed, and the remaining half could be turned over by trying to find a way.

Jia Yi took out a simple map and calculated the direction, this place is not far from the border, how can it seem that there is no tension at all, and it seems a little depressed.

Riding a bull, Jia Yi put on the mage badge or something, and when he entered the city, the guard at the city gate still wanted to collect the city fee, but he was pulled by another guard next to him.

After Jia Yi walked away, he heard one of the guards scolding another in a low voice: "Do you want to die? That's a wizard, do you see what he's wearing? And the badge on his chest, if you offend the other party, be careful that your soul is taken away by the wizard and tormented by the fire every day." ”

Jia Yi shook his head a little helplessly, the more remote the place, the more exaggerated the rumors about the mage, if it weren't for his good physical fitness and sensitive facial features, he wouldn't have been able to hear them.

However, it is also true that there are some mages or warlocks who like to do some inhumane experiments in remote places, and these people definitely contribute to the stereotype and evil of mages.

After entering the city, Jia Yi found the largest restaurant in the city, and after entering, he asked the hostess behind the counter, "Give me the best room, and besides, is this Akureyri?"

The waiter behind the counter is not very old, and he looked at Jiayi strangely, as if to say that you have arrived at the place and don't know where it is?

However, Kaichi's dress made him afraid to say a superfluous word: "Yes, this is Akureyri." ”

Jia Yi hurriedly asked, "Then is there an ancient relic here?"

"Huh?" the receptionist showed a blank expression, "I, I haven't heard of it, you can go to the tavern in the east of the city and ask, it is said that in the past, we had many adventurers here, and most of them would settle down in the tavern in the east of the city." ”

"Oh, thank you. ”

Kaichi got his house number and went upstairs to find his room.

Although this restaurant is the largest restaurant in the city, the business does not look good, and the inside of the restaurant looks like it has not been repaired for a long time, and the doors, windows and corners can be seen to be a little dilapidated.

Inside, the sheets looked neat and clean, but Kaichi still took out his down sleeping bag, unfolded the sleeping bag, and spread it on the bed as a sheet.

After tidying up the room a little and settling Xiaoqing, Jia Yi followed the guidance of the guy in the store to the tavern he said.

The tavern didn't look big, and it was just past noon, and it wasn't yet the best time for business, and it looked a little deserted inside.

Jia Yi came to the counter and sat down, and said to the boss who was sorting out the wine rack, "Boss, do you have any special dishes here?" ”

Jiayi hasn't had lunch yet, so he just came to try and see what special food there is.

The boss turned around and saw Jiayi's dress, and hurriedly bent down to salute.

"You, you're a wizard?"

"It's a mage, although the two seem similar to you, but they are actually quite different. Do you have anything special about this?"

The boss saluted again: "My lord, the most famous thing in our store is smoked meat, smoked pork chops and smoked grouse are very good, and we have pine nut wine in our store, which is also very popular." ”

"Give me a smoky pine**, you don't need wine, you can just have a piece of water." ”

The boss had something to say but didn't say it, maybe it was the first time I'd seen someone come to the tavern to drink water, but the sarcasm was unspeakable.

The only few guests in the tavern also came to see it, but they only dared to watch it secretly.

Although Kaichi felt that his face was quite kind.

After a while, the tavern keeper returned from the back kitchen with a wooden tray on top of a wooden plate with a whole boiled smoked grouse on top of it, which had not even been cut.

Kaichi directly tore the chicken apart, the smoked chicken was a little dry and hard, and it was also a little salty, but because of the boiling, the chicken breast was not so hard, and the saltiness was boiled off a lot, but even so, the chicken was not juicy.

However, the smoky flavor is very strong, and there is a faint pine aroma and dry aroma, but except for the part of the chicken breast, the rest of the place is a little too dry and hard, which can be said to be difficult to eat, especially the chicken feet and chicken wings, which cannot be chewed.

After tasting the chicken, Kaichi condensed a ball of warm water to wash his hands, and then suggested to the boss: "Boss, I suggest that you only sell smoked grouse chicken breasts next time, and you can't gnaw on it anywhere else." ”

The boss shrank a little, as if he was afraid that Jia Yi would not be satisfied, but he still said, "But if you only sell grouse breasts, what about other places?

Well, this Jiayi doesn't know, it's not like modern here, you can sell all parts of the chicken separately, you can sell the breast chicken feet or something separately, and the rest of the chicken racks can also be sold to the feed factory for feed.

Jia Yi asked the boss, "I heard that there is a ruin near you, do you know where it is?"

While asking, Jia Yi took out three silver coins and turned them between his fingers, and the silver coins flexibly flipped on the tips of Jia Yi's fingers, like a butterfly waiting to jump.

The boss stared at the silver coin twice, then turned his head to look at Jiayi: "Ruins... I seem to have heard about it when I was a child, but it's been a long time, and no one has paid attention to it for a long time, and I don't know very well, you can come later, maybe someone will know. ”

Kaichi wasn't satisfied with this answer: "As a tavern owner, haven't you heard someone here say anything about the ruins?

The tavern owner said slightly: "Originally, it was indeed like this, it is said that decades ago, 30 years ago or 40 years ago, or even longer, I can't remember, at that time we were still relatively prosperous here, there was a lot of game in the surrounding forests, and there were many medicinal herbs produced, in addition to the local medicine farmers, there were often some adventurers who came to buy medicinal herbs or went into the forest to collect medicinal herbs."

"It is said that a ruin was indeed discovered at that time, and many people came to visit, and it was at that time that one of the most luxurious inns in the city was built. But then it is said that something happened, a lot of people died, and the later adventurers didn't find anything, and slowly there were fewer people, and even the medicinal herb merchants and adventurers who used to come here often were much less. Maybe it's because the adventurers who are familiar with this place are almost dead, I don't know much about the specific situation, I was still young at that time, and no one has paid attention to any ruins now.

"My father would probably know better, he personally experienced the incident. ”

Jia Yi hurriedly asked, "What about your father, can you invite him over for a chat?"

"Ah," the tavernkeeper blinked, "he's been dead for more than ten years. You know, it's been a long time, and there aren't many people still alive from that era. ”

"Fart, what's the point, aren't I still there?" said a rough voice as a glass of wine slammed against the table.

Jia Yi turned his head to see that in the corner not far away, there was an old man with a white beard and hair who was drinking alone, and he was the one who had just spoken.

"Oh, it's old power, you survived that time, but do you know about the ruins? You said you went to the ruins, but do you know which direction the ruins are? You also said you found gold there. ”

The tavern owner bowed his head to Jiayi and reminded: "My lord, don't believe this old liar, he often boasts when he is drunk that he went to the ruins to adventure when he was young, but this ruins will move for a while, and he will be in the west, and he also said that he found gold but was robbed of it, and he didn't have a word of truth in his mouth, and he was full of nonsense after a little drink of two glasses, and he still owed me a lot of wine money that he didn't give." ”

Jia Yi looked over and said, "It's okay, since we met, let's listen to what he has to say." ”
