Lord of War
56. Porter's Tavern
In the small tavern, the sound of laughter resounded like a stormy sea, wave after wave, without stopping.
The area of this tavern is not large, and it can only accommodate about eight or nine round tables. Based on the calculation of four guests per table, it can only accommodate thirty-six guests at most. However, if you count the bar counter and a few single or double seats on the left and right walls, it can still entertain nearly fifty guests. It's just this amount, compared to many other taverns in Wangdu, it is really a bit shabby and simple.
However, given that this tavern is opened in a slum, it is still very popular.
Almost every night, this tavern will be completely full, which makes many people who come late can only sigh.
Of course, since it is a tavern in a slum area, there must be some small chaos here.
For example relying on force, number of people, etc. to seize the table.
It's just that none of this has anything to do with Sean at this time.
A silver coin was thrown onto the bar counter.
It bounced a few times on the bar, and when it was about to roll off the edge of the bar, it was suddenly caught by a big hand. Immediately afterwards, the hand retracted at a lightning speed, and the silver coin on the bar disappeared.
"What do you want to drink?" A rough voice sounded at the same time as the silver coins disappeared.
"A glass of golden Roland." Standing on the other side of the bar, a black-haired young man pulled a bar chair a little away, and then sat on it calmly, "Add honey and ice, and sprinkle some crushed Mint leaf."
"It's the season now. Add mint, ice, and honey. Be careful of the cold." A middle-aged man who is the bartender at the bar and also serves as the bar owner raised his eyebrows slightly.
This is a person who is not very tall. He was probably less than 1.7 meters tall, and compared to the strong and powerful bosses of ordinary taverns, this boss looked very thin. But even for such a thin person, his voice still has a strong penetrating power in this noisy bar.
"I heard that the spicy meat here is very good." The black-haired young man laughed softly, "This way you won't be afraid of the cold."
"One silver coin is not enough for a cup of special golden Roland and one serving of spicy meat." The owner of the bar snorted.
The black-haired young man is naturally Sean.
At this moment, Sean took out another silver coin from his body.
But this time he didn't flick the silver coin onto the bar, but gently put it on it, and then pushed it over: "Is it enough?"
"Wait a minute." The bar owner exhaled. Put away the silver coin, then turn around and get busy.
Sean waited with a smile on his face.
He rested his elbows on the bar, crossed his hands, and rested his chin on the back of his hands. Start observing this bar.
This is the reward link for the mission he is currently doing.
The task is actually not difficult. It's just very troublesome, anyway, it's nothing more than running errands, fighting monsters and the like. It's just that at the beginning, Sean still ignored some details of the difference between the game and reality, so some small oolongs came out.
Just imagine, a duke who is now almost at the peak of power suddenly ran to a commoner's house, what kind of feeling is this?
So even at this moment, in the tavern in this slum area, Sean is a little easier to tolerate.
certainly. This disguise skill is really not that good.
At least those who are familiar and close to Sean can still easily spot the disguise on Sean. To this. Sean can only express his helplessness, after all, Eli Kate is not with him at this time, so that kind of miraculous disguise is naturally impossible, and the only one who knows some disguise skills by Xiao En's side at this time There was only Rui Na who was a mercenary. What else could Sean demand?
After reaching this step according to the task flow, you can buy a cup of golden Roland and a special spicy meat at the price of two silver coins in this tavern.
Just like the "sharp blade" and "fine wine" that Sean drank in Andrew's hotel, the two delicacies of golden Roland and special spicy meat can also bring players a proficiency point when they eat it for the first time , and compared to the expensive price of sharp blades and fine wine, two silver coins are still very easy to accept. The only problem is that the process of this task is rather cumbersome. It took Sean three days to complete it all. Fortunately, it is finally time to harvest.
Soon, the golden Roland and special spicy meat were served by the tavern owner.
Golden Roland is a kind of rum added with Roland flowers. The liquid presents a light amber color, and what it emits is not a strong aroma of wine but a fragrance of flowers and plants. After adding honey, the liquid of this wine will turn golden yellow, which looks like liquid gold, plus it exudes a sweet honey flavor and mint flavor, so it is also called Golden Roland.
As for the special spicy meat, it still has a very visual impact at a glance.
The sauce drizzled on a large piece of steak was crimson, but it had no other color at all. It's just that the smell emanating from the sauce is not very choking, but has a rich aroma that greatly increases appetite, and when the knife cuts it, it feels very tender, this tenderness It is almost like tofu, and its production method is far beyond the imagination of normal people.
However, when Sean took the first bite, he immediately experienced a taste stimulation that was completely different from that in the game.
At that moment, he only felt as if magma had been poured into his mouth.
...
This dinner took longer than Sean imagined to finally be resolved.
Of course, the final cost must not be as simple as two silver coins, but a whole gold coin.
The portion of the special spicy meat steak is very generous, at least five or six catties, and the charge is only one silver coin, which is very cost-effective in any way. But usually no one in this tavern would order this food. It is purely because if you want to enjoy this delicacy, you need to spend several times the expenditure on solving the spiciness - like Sean's solution, that is to have nine cups of golden Roland.
certainly. Even if Sean drank nine cups of Golden Roland, in fact, he can only get one proficiency point.
But after eating and drinking enough, Sean felt several malicious looks.
In the slums, the people here judge the strength by whether they are strong enough, or whether they are fierce enough.
Sean, no matter how you look at it, there is obviously a big gap between him and the people in the slums who judge whether they are strong enough. Therefore, it is very normal for those who think they have some strength to focus on Xiao En. After all, the standard of living here among the poor is only one or two gold coins a month, and Sean is obviously a big fat sheep no matter how he dresses or the consumption level tonight.
To say that no one is tempted. That was clearly a joke.
However, Sean didn't care about these ordinary people who weren't even considered "apprentices".
He tapped the bar lightly, and the sound of his fingers tapping on it was soft and heavy. There seems to be a unique pattern. Ordinary people sound like a simplified version of the melody of the piano score. But it clearly has a different meaning to the tavernkeeper.
"Boss, do you have any good job introductions?"
"I'm just the owner of a tavern, what job can I introduce to you." The tavern said without looking up while wiping the glass in his hand.
"Old Potter said that you not only have delicious food, but also good jobs." Sean said softly, and at the same time handed out a gold coin from his hand.
This is the last part of the tavern mission.
Sean spent three days doing this errand task, of course, not purely to gain two proficiency points.
His real purpose is to open the "Underground Missions at Potter's Tavern" system. For this reason, he had to complete the pre-quest "Old Potter's Errand" first. As for the task reward, in addition to getting two proficiency points. Another reward is to enable this underground mission system.
As one of the three dark kings who are as famous as the Marquis of Floris, Old Potter's underground mission is the easiest mission system to open, unlike other dark kings who need to go through a very cumbersome mission process before they can start. Although in terms of rewards, the underground mission rewards of the other two dark kings are very generous, but those rewards are basically equipment rewards, which don't mean much to people like Sean.
On the contrary, most of the old Potter's underground missions are rewards such as proficiency points and attribute points, which are more attractive to the current Sean.
And although the task of "Old Potter's Errand" has no time limit, in fact, if the task is completed in a shorter time, the evaluation from Old Potter will be higher. Potter Tavern's Underground Mission" system, the level of missions that can be accepted at the beginning will be higher. On the contrary, you must start from low-level tasks and gradually accumulate evaluations before you can accept higher-level tasks.
For example, Sean completed the task assigned by the old Potter within three days, and now he can directly accept the A-level task in this tavern, without having to start from the F-level task. This saved a lot of time for Xiao En, because there was less than half a month left before the martial arts festival, and he had to increase his personal strength as soon as possible within these ten days.
Because just the day before yesterday, the Marquis of Floris had already sent a list of information on the list of players in the silver group from various countries.
Among them, there are several opponents that Sean needs to deal with carefully.
After Sean picked an A-level contract mission from the tavern owner, he turned around and left this humble tavern in a slum.
At this time, a few strong men happened to get up as well.
"Alu, if I were you, I would never provoke that guy." Seeing that one of the strong men standing up was his regular customer, the tavern owner couldn't help reminding, "That's not something you can deal with." people."
"Little Potter, there's nothing wrong with that skinny monkey." Hearing what the tavern owner said, one of the burly men grinned indifferently, "Give us a few glasses of golden Roland, and we'll come back to taste it soon Yes...the last time I drank this stuff I almost forgot it was a few years ago."
"Oh." Seeing that these strong men did not intend to stop, the tavern owner looked at their backs and shook his head helplessly.
"Boss, do you want me to follow you out to have a look?" A maid with a coquettish makeup next to him asked in a low voice while she was going back to the bar to pack her things.
"No need." Little Potter shook his head, "People who can be directly approved by the father to accept the superior contract, don't need your help.... Be careful that you will be slaughtered by the other party as an enemy when you go."
"Isn't it?" The maid's eyes widened in surprise, "That little guy actually..."
"En." Little Pott nodded, "If I'm not mistaken, that person should be the Duke of the Void." Speaking of which, the tavern owner reminded again: "Remember to tell other people what happened tonight. People, just pretend you haven’t seen anything, you know? We can’t afford to provoke such a big shot.” (To be continued..)
