Leaving the Frost family's mansion and heading to the first destination bar the player chooses to explore, this requires traveling from the easternmost side through the town to the westernmost side.

The distance is not long or short, it is indeed a bit tiring to rely on walking, I knew that I should ask the old housekeeper if there was a bicycle or something that could be used for them, An Yizhi remembered that there were bicycles in this era.

They didn't come across a cab along the way, and even if they did, as long as the situation wasn't particularly urgent, it was better not to ride on it.

In this era, the rental carriage was quite expensive, and all the property in the wallets of several friends only added up to more than 300 pounds, and the full amount of their commission was only 2,000 pounds.

It may not sound like much, but in the 1890s Britain was still on the gold standard, and the first pound coins were pure gold!

For this era, 2,000 pounds is already a lot of money, but it takes more than ten pounds to make a carriage, and the price is really expensive.

Besides, there is no way to have a horse-drawn carriage rental service in this town.

Passing through a row of street trees in front of the Frost family's mansion, they entered the town when the pavement beneath their feet turned into a bumpy stone pavement.

Since Britain coincided with the booming industry in this era, it meant that pollution such as smog was very serious, which reminded An Yizhi of an old song.

- Welcome to Beijing.

The thick haze almost obscured the sky, even the sun became blurred, and the small stone buildings in a little farther away also became looming, like a monster swallowing clouds and spitting fog, and only by walking in could you barely see the whole picture.

There was a sour smell in the air, and it was very choking, which made everyone want to get a mask or something to wear on their faces.

Red took out a pocket watch from the inner pocket of his vest and looked at it:

"It's 10 a.m., so there's still plenty of time."

He was referring to the time it takes to complete the main quest, and since the system has sleep mode on, it means that they have at least two days to go to the target of the quest, Padridge.

"It can't be counted like that."

Ann pinched her chin with one finger and said as she walked:

"We don't have any clues to follow except for a few places that Padrick often goes to, and we are outsiders, we are not familiar with the place, and even the local police are helpless about it, so it is really not optimistic to find a person who is suspected of being kidnapped and missing in this time."

There are few pedestrians on the road, and this is still work time, and most of the town's residents work in factories outside the town, so they don't have to worry about being overheard when they talk about these topics in the street.

"And I reckon this copy is very dangerous, and I don't know what is waiting for us to discover."

"I want to get more guns."

Breeze Bazooka said:

"We only have a small revolver in each of us, the concealment is okay but the firepower is seriously insufficient, if you run into a human opponent, it's okay to say, but if you run into those things, ......"

This is also something to consider, but it is really hard to say whether this remote town is not a metropolis like London, and whether there is a gun shop or not.

"It shouldn't be that dangerous, Brother An."

Appletea looked at the map and led the way in front:

"I have also fought twice with Brother Qi in the temporary dungeon, and when it is most dangerous, I only shoot against a group of World War I-level soldiers."

It sounds like they're going to be a great game.

"No, human opponents are still minor problems, mainly because there are some human beings who cannot understand the existence is the big problem."

If it's just a simple human opponent, the danger is not particularly high, after all, human beings only need to take a bullet and it's over, but those supernatural things are really unsolvable, and many times they are unreasonable, plus if they don't get it right, they are likely to be killed by the plot of the system, so the danger is much higher than a simple puzzle-solving temporary copy.

"I think you're getting complicated."

Rhett Says:

"Ignore the type of this dungeon for the time being, from God's point of view, we have just accepted the main quest, this town doesn't seem to have any problems, and there is no element of what you said, so the beginning of this period is likely to be used by the system for players to collect intelligence, the probability of danger and death is very low, I estimate that with the amount of information we get and the advancement of the plot, the danger will increase step by step, and now we are particularly vigilant, but we will miss a lot of things that should be worth noting."

He pressed his temples, thought for a moment, and said:

"Padrick's disappearance is likely to be done by people in the town, and considering that even the local police have no clue, it means that the prisoner is very cautious and in the shadows, and to deal with such an enemy, he can be hooked with an upright plan, but it may also lead to a startling snake and make him hide deeper, so I recommend another way, since they are in the shadows, then let's hide in a darker place, anyway, the housekeeper asked us to try the identity of Bilbom's nephew and nephew. As long as you don't ask about Padrick's whereabouts too much, it shouldn't cause the other party to be ...... Why do you think of me like that? ”

"You're right?!"

"Hey, hey! Did you always think I was a fool with muscles in my head? I'm a graduate student! ”

Red was unexpectedly highly educated, and An Yizhi thought that this muscular demon would graduate from high school at most.

Apple Tea wondered:

"A graduate student in his thirties?"

"Lao Tzu is only 22!"

“……”

–‐‐——–‐‐——

I don't know if it's a problem of European and American races, Red looks at least 30 years old, but I really didn't expect him to be the same age as An Yizhi.

However, he was right, Ann Yizhi and Qingfeng Bazooka were a little too wary of the danger of this dungeon, so that their nerves were tense all the time, and they probably ignored the clues that they should have noticed.

is still the same sentence, life and death are not convinced, and it is useless to think too much.

- because such a copy is by no means life-saving by mere vigilance.

So on the way to the tavern, Ann tried to calm his nerves, focusing on his surroundings as he walked.

The age of this town does not seem to be too old, many of the buildings are newly built, and the oldest buildings they saw are only about a hundred years old, which is really a pattern compared to the ancient cities and towns of the Celestial Empire that are thousands of years old.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that in order to avoid some unnecessary dangers, they chose the main road, and in addition to the houses, you can also see some shops around.

Most of these shops are grocery stores for delicatessen and daily necessities, and occasionally you can see one or two tailor shops, and there are no hotels or bars in crowded places.

It's a bit of a strange place, the bar was a great place for the inhabitants of this era to relax, and alcohol played an indelible role in social stability in an era when entertainment was scarce.

The bar they're targeting is on the outskirts of town, and it's the only one in town, which is a bit odd.

We all know how important a good location is for business, and when they pass through the street near the center of town, they see a lot of empty houses that are not used as shops, so it stands to reason that it would be better to open a bar here. It's not that there is no place.

This was a bit confusing, but it was also possible that the bar owner had other plans, so it was only a minor problem.

As they chatted and looked around them, they came to the bar.

The town's only bar is located on the westernmost side of the town, right next to the sea, where there is a small marina.

Due to the depth of the water, it is not possible to dock large or medium-sized boats, only light fishing boats can be seen heading towards the shore.

There was a strong fishy smell everywhere on the docks, which didn't smell very good, as if salted fish had rotten.

So everyone pinched their noses and went into the bar.

An Yizhi thought that the bar should be very noisy, after all, as long as people drink too much, it is called a living being, such as his father-in-law Lin Chengyu, who is usually very serious and alone, and actually went up to the tree to dig out bird eggs after drinking too much......

But the bar is quite tidy, although the sound of the guests talking and chatting is not small, as if you can hear the 'buzzing' sound as soon as you open the door, but in general it is quite orderly, regardless of men and women, the sound of drinking and chatting is kept as much as possible to the extent that the other party can hear.

Victorian England was a very special era, not only in this era when Britain became a real empire on which the sun never set, but also in the formation of a culture that influenced the social norms of later generations.

The people of this era worshipped the aristocracy and liked to imitate the behavior of the aristocracy, and even the lowest workers and fishermen would try to make themselves humble and polite.

This is a good thing, and the improvement of the quality of the people also represents the progress of the country's overall strength.

However, despite the fact that everyone is still 'qualified', there are still remnants of such customs as xenophobia in remote towns, and when the guests in the tavern see a few fresh faces pushing the door in, the look of wariness mixed with distrust is very obvious, especially the relatively gorgeous skirt of Qingfeng Bazooka, who knows at a glance that she is a rich lady, and is far from the clothes of the common people.

But when they saw the buttons pinned to their chests, the distrust disappeared and they turned to their friends and continued to drink.

This made Ann and them deeply feel the xenophobia of the town and the huge influence of the Frost family here.

Most of the people drinking in the tavern were fishermen, and the bar was already full of people, and it was impossible for Ann to walk over and ask the bartender about Padrick, if the prisoner was really one of the townspeople, it would probably arouse the other party's vigilance, and once he or they hid deeper, it would not be a good thing for the completion of the mission.

So the four of them just found a fairly clean round table to sit down like other guests who came to drink, and after asking the service girl for a few glasses of wine, they planned to observe to see if there was any breakthrough.

It stands to reason that just sitting there and scanning the guests from time to time will hardly get any useful clues, but this is a game after all, and it is part of the plot.

Now that the system lets the player know that the bar was the last place Padrich appeared before he disappeared, it is easy to expect that the player will come to the bar to check it out.

Well, it's time to move the plot forward.
