Infinite Bloodcore
Section 15: Mermaid Tavern
Latest website: Crescent Harbor is owned by Crescent Town. It faces Feiyu Strait and is backed by Honeymoon Forest.
Honeymoon Forest is the largest Elf autonomous territory in the Shengming Empire. The Elf King surrendered to Emperor Shengming very early. Emperor Shengming divided it into imperial marquises.
Honeymoon Forest is rich in products, the most famous of which is Moon Spring Water. Drinking this spring water can quickly replenish the magic power in the body. If you drink it for a long time, it can also increase the upper limit of your own magic power reserve.
The elves living in the forest have maintained a large-scale trade with the Shengming Empire all year round. However, Crescent Town does not assume the role of a trade hub, even though it is located next to this vast forest.
The trade hub is Caishan Town, a town located high on a mountain that the empire invested heavily in building. The specific location is right across the Honeymoon Forest from Crescent Town.
Caishan Town has the famous imperial airport. Airships, hot air balloons, griffins, and sky whales come and go all year round. Especially in March and September every year, various flying mounts and tools, such as flocks of birds, hover, take off and land in the sky of Caishan Town.
Compared with more convenient and better-developed air routes, the competitiveness of Crescent Town's sea routes is too weak.
Crescent Town itself has no specialties, but its development also relies on Honeymoon Forest.
But unlike Caishan Town, Crescent Town relies not on trade, but on the annual beast tide in Honeymoon Forest.
Beast tides are both a crisis and an opportunity.
The mercenary union and thieves union have established branches here, the super mercenary group has also set up offices here, and the hunting group is a frequent visitor here. Sometimes you can also see magicians and scholars. The period before and after the beast tide occurs is the busiest time in Crescent Town.
The Mermaid Tavern is the largest and oldest tavern in Crescent Town.
The reason why it is the largest and oldest is that it is the only tavern in the whole town.
The tavern was noisy and brightly lit.
The bartender was wiping glasses behind the bar.
A male bard sings a song on stage. The song has a lively rhythm and is filled with a rich tropical style.
At this time, the door of the bar was suddenly pushed open.
Four people rushed in, attracting the attention of many people.
The leader was a human man with a strong build, yellow hair, and a strong and deep bronze aura.
Next up was a goblin, covering his face with a black cloth and carrying a long sword behind his back.
Then there was an old man with a wrinkled face, a fat figure, and a pair of huge glasses. The black and white beard is well groomed.
Finally there was a young man with an ordinary appearance who looked a little nervous.
The four of them passed through the wine tables and went straight to the bar.
The one who spoke was the old man among them. His voice was hoarse, and he first complained: "This damn mountain road."
Then he sat down on the high wooden chair, knocked on the bar table, and asked: "What good wine do you have here?"
The bartender put down the wine glass he was wiping: "Guest, our signature here is bronze cider. The material for making wine is taken from a bronze apple tree in the city in the center of the Honeymoon Forest. Guests should know about copper apples, iron apples, silver apples and even From golden apples, right?”
The old man raised his brows slightly, showing a hint of surprise.
These apples are not ordinary, they are magic plants and contain wonderful magic power. Long-term consumption can allow extraordinary people of corresponding levels to increase their foundation and promote rapid growth in their own strength. And the more critical role is when a transcendent is at the peak level of life, but temporarily falls into a bottleneck and cannot break through. Then this transcendent person can choose to eat higher-grade apples to help him break through smoothly.
These magic apples are the most precious foreign trade items in Honeymoon Forest. As for the moon spring water, it is a sacred item of the elves and is never sold to the public.
The old man smiled: "Then bring me a cup of bronze cider. Everyone else, some beer."
"A cup of bronze cider costs one gold coin. Other beers cost a total of eighteen copper coins." The bartender smiled. He sensed the life breath of ordinary people from the old man's body, and advised, "The old man should try not to drink too much."
The old man directly took out two gold coins from his arms, placed them on the bar, pressed the surface of the gold coins with two fingers, and then slowly pushed them to the bartender: "Tell me something new."
As a result, the bartender understood that the extra money was the information fee paid by the old man.
"If you want to ask about the beast tide, then I have to tell you that you are here early."
"No, no, no." The old man shook his head, "Tell me about the boat."
He lowered his voice slightly and added: "The ship I am referring to is not a merchant ship or a warship."
The bartender's eyes flashed, and he also lowered his voice: "Then you came at a good time. In the past few days, there will be a good opportunity. At least two ships will dock at the dock for a large amount of supplies. But whether these two ships will accept people, I don’t know.”
"Two ships? What are they like?" the old man asked.
"They are a group. I don't know the specific situation, but they are very strong. The captains of the two ships are both silver-level masters. And it is said that there are more than two silver-level extraordinary beings in this pirate group!"
The old man was confused: "Who is it? Two captains? Is it a small alliance?"
The bartender shook his head: "I'm not sure about that."
The old man took out another gold coin.
But the bartender refused.
This made the old man understand that it was not that the bartender did not want to charge the money, but that this was all he knew.
But the old man still pushed the gold coin directly to the bartender: "I want to get on the boat, is there any way?"
The bartender sighed and shook his head: "There is no way. This is their first stop. But I think you have a good chance. This group of people has experienced a big battle. Although they lost, their opponent was a golden fighter. It is said that they lost a lot of money." For one ship, the loss of lives can be imagined.”
The old man glanced at his three companions, and he immediately understood: the pirate gang the bartender was referring to was the fleet of Knight Boy, Zong Ge and Yi Yiyi.
The old man is none other than Cang Xu.
The other three are Blue Algae, Sandao, and Bai Ya. Good Chinese
Although the knight boy captured Cheng Cooperation and obtained the magic contract. But this time, they went to the empire's seaport for supplies.
Of course, the young knight would not go directly like this. What if the truth about the Mysterious Island was exposed? What if the empire wants to trap and kill pirates?
Therefore, the young knight ordered Cang Xu and others to land first to investigate the situation. He himself led the fleet and took the initiative to dock at the unknown island for supplies, giving Cang Xu and others time to conduct investigations.
Cang Xu and others took the Deep Sea Monster Fish and arrived at Crescent Port first. They used some means to slightly change their appearance and went to the Mermaid Tavern to inquire about the news.
There is a well-known proverb in the Empire - Wine cannot invent anything, but wine can reveal secrets.
Therefore, taverns have always been a good place to gather information.
After hearing the news that his gang was coming for supplies, most of Cang Xu's worries disappeared.
The news has spread, and the probability of the empire setting up a trap to ensnare them immediately becomes much smaller.
Because the empire's reputation is more important than trapping and killing a few silver-level pirates.
It is clear from Cang Xu that the Shengming Empire has big plans for the Pirate Throne.
Therefore, the empire will not give up such a big plan just for a few silver pirates.
As for why the news spread?
It's actually very simple.
If the empire wants to provide supplies, it will inevitably involve the mobilization of personnel and materials. Among the supplies requested by the young knight, there were particularly huge artifacts.
These things cannot be hidden.
As long as there are people involved, relevant information will naturally spread.
Of course, just gathering information is not enough. In the next plan, Cang Xu and the others will also visit the dock at night.
But it's not yet late at night.
Cang Xu and others still stayed in the tavern, searching for other information while waiting for the time to come.
The business of the tavern is very good, and customers are constantly coming in.
The Mermaid Tavern is not big, and soon it becomes noisier and more crowded.
Cang Xu and others had already left the bar and were sitting at a table in the corner.
A tall, thin man with black hair bumped into Cang Xu.
"Feel sorry!"
He raised his hand to signal, turned around and left.
But San Dao suddenly took action, grabbed him at once, and knocked him to the ground with a fierce blow.
The man held his stomach and groaned in pain.
San Dao took out the money bag from his arms and put it in front of Cang Xu's table.
Seeing his money bag, Cang Xu showed a look of astonishment.
"Thief!" Bai Ya shouted.
"I'll do it." Lan Zao stood up, grabbed the man's collar, dragged him all the way to the door of the bar, then opened the door and threw the thief out.
Because of this change, the noise in the tavern became quieter, but it soon returned to the same level as before.
Cang Xu listened quietly in the corner.
The words of these drinkers often reveal a lot of information.
He got what he wanted and heard the information about his people. After the Pig Kiss disappeared mysteriously, the Knights Templar, the Shengming Sect, and the Hundred Needles Family all sent people to search for it for a while. After the search was fruitless, the search and rescue team was called off. Missing lists for Zhen Jin, Zhu Sha and others have been posted in cities along the coast.
Their portraits were on the list, and a generous bounty was also marked.
Cang Xu was not worried.
This situation had been expected by him. At the same time, Zhenjin and Zhusha had come into contact with Yiyihui and others very early on. However, their appearance has also undergone a certain degree of disguise, which is quite different from their original appearance.
The most important thing is the knight boy's Baihe fighting spirit. This kind of fighting spirit is very common, and it is not the fighting spirit of hundreds of needles. Therefore it is difficult for people to associate the two together.
"What a wonderful story!" Bai Ya suddenly sighed.
Cang Xu was stunned for a moment.
Bai Ya pointed at the bard on the tavern stage: "Don't you think the story he recited is wonderful?"
Cang Xu was stunned for a moment. His attention had been focused on the conversations of other drinkers, but he had ignored the music that had been there all along.
The bard on the stage played the lyre, and his companion played the recorder.
The poems he recited were in the format of a typical heroic epic. It tells the story of a few warriors who discover cultists, bring them to justice, and protect the townspeople.
Cangxu didn't take it seriously at first, but at the end of the poem, the bard revealed the names of these warriors in a tone of praise. They are the mayor, captain of the guard, pastor of the church, and even the owner of the Mermaid Tavern in this small town.
"It turns out this is what really happened." Bai Ya exclaimed.
The surrounding drinkers were not surprised. They have listened to this music many times and have become accustomed to it.
Cang Xu quickly lowered his head to hide his emotion. He hears more information about the cultists, and at the end of the music his evil faith is revealed - the Blue God!
