Chapter 340: The Familiar Tavern
This bright light flashed violently, shaking Luga's eyes, so strong that Luga had to open his eyes.
It turns out that this strong light is sunlight! The light shone through the dilapidated wooden window on Luga's face, which made Lujia unable to open his eyes.
"Even you're laughing at me? Or are you urging me? It was really lonely, Luga smiled self-deprecatingly, and slowly got up in the sun.
Looking up and down, Luga was right, because of the little bribe of the loaf, the rats devoured the bread, and his boots and clothes were intact.
Looking at the bread in the corner, and the rats gnawing on it, it was a rare delicacy, and I finally had hope for the days when I could only rummage through the stinky garbage heaps for food and eat wood. With good bread, naturally no rat wants to gnaw on that hard leather.
"Then today, wish me good luck!" Luga encouraged herself, straightened her clothes, fetched water from the pool outside, washed up briefly, put on her cloak again, and walked out of the dilapidated little house.
"Where can I find it today?" Luga found that it was the stupidest decision to come in alone, if he hadn't thought too much about it at the beginning, after all, this was Aetius's territory, and his own soldiers had let Aetius's people discover it in this city, then naturally they would not have been able to get rid of the provocation.
Ben had already taken a very huge risk, and Luga was the only one wandering aimlessly through the streets, and he had no clue at all, and he forgot where to find it in such a large city while he was so bent on finding it.
The rich quarter, where private guards are everywhere, looks too conspicuous here for someone like Luga who deliberately hides himself. He remembered the one who had found Levi in the tavern before, so this time, he was going to bang his luck and go to the tavern one more time to see if this damn guy would be here again!
With this in mind, Luga reopened after a gap of three years at the largest tavern in Ludinand.
"I believe that here, there is still the same good luck as before!" Good luck, Luga actually called this good luck, after all, he is no longer Lujia in the aspect, he was just to avoid Levi and find Anai, and now he is able to find Anai by finding Levi!
It's more like a big gamble, and Luga doesn't think about all the possible consequences all the time. Of course, he wouldn't be afraid of that, because he felt confident enough to kill Levi.
Pushing open the door, the tavern was still full, and in the crowd, Luga finally found a place where he could accommodate himself.
"What would you like to drink, sir?" As soon as he sat down, the waiter had already come to Luga, a young fellow with a lively smile on his immature face, and it seemed that such a life was satisfactory for him.
"Do you have any signature liquor in your tavern?" Luga asked the young waiter with a smile.
"Of course!" The young waiter confidently said: "We have wine made from the water of the Loire, and many of our guests love it!" ”
"The Loire."
Hearing this, Luga shook his head with a smile and refused: "No, just give me an ordinary wine." ”
"But sir!" The waiter was a little anxious, but he still wanted to persuade Luga: "Everyone likes to drink this wine, but it is made of genuine Loire water, and it is sweet!" ”
"Ha, no, no!" It was such an unforgiving and even pleading tone, which still did not move Luga in the slightest, Luga smiled and waved his hand at the waiter, and explained: "I can drink a stream of blood from the river of Loire, so bring me some wine, remember that it is from other places." ”
"Blood, smell?" Luga's words stunned the young waiter, and he looked puzzled, not knowing how to answer. Luga's words made the waiter stop insisting, and he turned around and slowly left with a puzzled expression.
Luga craned her neck to look around, and the drinkers around her were talking and laughing to themselves, but all of them had unfamiliar faces.
"He doesn't seem to be here." Lu Jia cheered around, secretly saying to himself in his heart, inevitably with a trace of loss in his heart. "Looks like I might have run for nothing today." Luga sighed inwardly, and the young waiter carefully placed it in front of Luga with a jug of wine and a few slices of toasted bread.
"Your wine, sir."
Luga nodded at him, and gave the two denares to the waiter, saying, "Take it, and the rest will be a tip, which is my gift to you!" ”
"Oh, thank you, thank you, kind sir."
It seems that such a tip is still very sufficient, far more than the one or two copper coins that those stingy drinkers withhold and search give! The young waiter was overjoyed with the two denaris in his hands, thanking Luga again and again for his kindness.
"Alas, alas!"
Just as the young waiter was about to turn to leave, Luga stopped him behind him. The young waiter looked back at Luga with a puzzled expression.
"Why, I gave you so much, you should also give something worth the price in exchange!" Luga said to him, and before the young waiter could open his mouth to speak, Luga asked, "How long have you been in this tavern?" ”
"It's been more than two years, sir!" The young waiter replied with his hands on the Dinaris.
"So!" Luga said, taking advantage of the situation to take out a new Dinaris from his pocket and play with it in front of the waiter, and then asked, "So, can you remember who the regulars of this hotel are?" ”
"Hah, this!" The young waiter straightened his chest, looking like a young rooster who had always been young, "As long as the gentleman can describe the appearance and behavior of that regular, I can say his name." ”
"Really?" Luga felt a little incredible.
"Really!" The young waiter nodded his head twice, and it seemed that he was confident!
"That's the best, of course!" Luga said with a smile, and then said in great detail about Levi in his memory.
"That's a gentleman named Levi, you said!" After listening very carefully, the young waiter immediately said who Luga wanted.
"Yes, yes, that's him." Seeing that the young waiter knew about Levi, Luga was so happy that he hurriedly took the waiter to his side and asked, "Do you know how often he comes to this tavern?" Also, tell me the exact time, tell me quickly! ”
"Yes, yes, sir!" The waiter was about to be stunned by him, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Levi has often come to the tavern during this time, almost every day, as long as he is in this city, he often comes here to drink, I heard that ......" The waiter said this, and hurriedly looked around, and then lowered his voice and said to Luga: "I heard that the mother-in-law of the family already has a heart, so this infatuated guy can only come here to borrow wine to kill his sorrows, alas, it's really pitiful!" ”
Speaking of which, I saw that the door of the tavern was "slammed!" With a kick of the way, everyone's eyes were drawn to see a languishing man striding in.
"Sir," whispered the waiter, "he is here!" ”
Luga nodded, only to hear the waiter remind, "Sir, he is a ruthless character, the famous Marshal Aetius in the background, and, I heard that he is the commander of the Praetorian Guard of Ravenna, sir, he is very dangerous!" ”
"I know, I'll take care of the rest!" Luga said, placing Nadinaris in the hand of the attendant.
"Hey! Boss! Li Wei ran to the counter in two steps, and the boss naturally knew about this ruthless character, so he didn't dare to slack off, and handed over a wooden glass full of wine before Li Wei opened his mouth.
Levi closed his mouth when he saw the wine, he picked up the wine glass in a daze, raised his head and drank it all.
"Sure enough, it's him!"
Luga muttered silently, pushed away the waiter who wanted to stop him, and walked slowly towards Levi.
