Chapter 111: Vignette
Seeing that the other party was so upright, Lu Kuan nodded with satisfaction, lowered his voice and said, "I want to know more about Menggo's news." ”
"Even if you ask, I must know everything, and I will say everything~" The black fox came to his senses and said busily.
Lu Kuan raised his head, looked at the figure that was faintly shaking in the depths of the alley, and then turned back and smiled at the black fox: "Let's talk in another place." ”
……
Ten minutes later, on the second floor of the "Golden Wheel" tavern, which is the tightest on the black market.
On the table in front of Lu Kuan, there was a bottle of white rum, a few plates of side dishes, and a roast leg of lamb, and the black fox sitting opposite poured a large glass of wine with his head up, and hiccuped comfortably.
"Sir, you don't know yet, in fact, during the day today, at least six or seven waves of guards came to the black market to investigate, just to find Menggo, haha~ These idiots, there are no half of them in the black market in broad daylight, where do they look for them?"
"Mongo has something good every time...... You understand people at a glance, and I'll tell you the truth, most of the things we do are hard-to-sell things that we buy from thieves."
"I heard that Mongo offended a big nobleman in Riptide Harbor because of this, hiccup......"
Hearing this, Lu Kuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What nobleman, do you know his name?" ”
The black fox shook his head and said, "I really don't know about this, but I can be sure that that person's status must be very high in Riptide Harbor, otherwise how could he force Mongo to leave Rapidwater Harbor and run to Lava Castle?" ”
Lu Kuan frowned slightly, and fell into thought, in the memory of the previous life, there seemed to be no clues related to this...... What did this little guy take to make these people so excited?
The black fox on the opposite side saw that Lu Kuan didn't speak, so he continued to speak.
“…… I've heard a legend, it's just a legend...... The small village where Mungo was born was directly wiped out by an unknown force, and she was the only survivor...... The location should be a little further south of Rapidsport. ”
"Mungo is so famous in our black market that many regular customers will pay a lot of money to order his things in advance."
……
The black fox chattered a lot and talked a lot of nonsense, but Lu Kuan listened carefully and got a lot of useful information.
As it got late, there were more people in the tavern, and Lu Kuan was worried about attracting the attention of other players, so he ended the conversation.
A few minutes later.
The black fox leisurely walked out of the gate of the "Golden Wheel", looked left and right vigilantly, and then walked away quickly, and the figure quickly disappeared into the night.
At this time, Lu Kuan in the tavern lowered his head slightly, and on his player log, a page of text was densely written, all of which were about Mongo.
Let's not talk about the truth or falsity of this information, at least there are clues, one of the jobs of professional players is to sift out valuable information from these information that is both true and false, and Lu Kuan is no stranger to this kind of work.
"I hope I'll see you again in Rapidwater Harbor in the future." Lu Kuan muttered to himself, a mysterious smile on his face.
Leaving the tavern, it was already moontop outside, and Mongo's affairs were finally over.
"Tomorrow, it will definitely be another extremely busy and thrilling day~"
Lu Kuan couldn't help but sigh, but no matter how much things happen, it's tomorrow, and now that the night has come, it's time to relax.
In the game, in addition to the wild waters, there are also fishing spots in the lava castle, mainly the moat banks, and small living lakes formed by the moat flowing into the city.
The water source of the moat comes from the Nushui River, so there are many fish and shrimp in the water, and it is a semi-independent ecosystem, especially in the living water lake, because there is no natural predator invade, the fish are all raised big and fat, and it is a paradise for anglers.
Lu Kuan took all the fishing-related equipment, bought a large deck chair in the grocery store, and walked to the vicinity of the Living Water Lake, where he found a place to start fishing.
There have been too many things in the past few days, Lu Kuan's spirit has been tense, and even in reality, because of his encounter with Liu Xueliang, Lu Kuan's spirit has never had a chance to relax.
It is rare to have such a leisure time, Lu Kuan deliberately wanted to relax, and he was not in a hurry to catch many fish, so he patiently lay on the recliner, taking advantage of the soft light of the magic chandeliers around him, while enjoying the night view, while leisurely waiting for the fish to be hooked.
In Echoes of the Gods, the process of fishing, except for equipping fishing gear and matching bait, has been simplified, and the other steps are almost 100% realistic.
Including estimating the water depth to adjust the float, the subtle shaking of the float when the fish bites the hook, and the control of the force when starting the rod, etc.
At first, you may not be able to feel the small fish, but when you can catch more and more types of fish and shrimp, and even large and rare fish appear, it will be a great test of the angler's skills.
There are many people around who have the same intention as Lu Kuan, and everyone wants to take advantage of the charming night to relax and adjust in addition to the exciting game life.
Not far to the left of Lu Kuan, a couple of players are fishing together.
The two of them should have been here for a while, and the fish basket at their feet was full, among which the girl was wearing a neat ponytail, and she was very delicate, so Lu Kuan looked at it twice.
After a while, the two began to pack their things, and listening to their conversation, it seemed that they wanted to find a tavern and practice their cooking skills with the fish they had just made, and left after a while.
"Huh?"
Lu Kuan was lingering on the back of the girl with a ponytail, and suddenly felt that the fishing rod in his hand sank, and another fish was hooked!
"Wow~"
Lu Kuan screamed with his right hand, tried to retract the rod, and found that the things in the water were dead and sinking, not like living things.
"It's not going to be bad shoes and broken jars or something......"
Lu Kuan was disappointed in his heart, and with a flick of one hand, a gray thing was fished up from under the water, Lu Kuan skillfully threw the hook in front of him, took a closer look, and laughed happily.
"Haha~ Not bad, good luck today~"
In Lu Kuan's hand was a booklet sewn from animal skin, the surface was full of silt, and he could vaguely see that there were a lot of words written in it.
"Old fishing manual (finesse)"

The odds of this thing appearing are not high, and the average price in the auction house is around 5 gold.
Lu Kuan slapped it directly with one hand, the brilliance on his body flashed, and there was already a new skill icon in the skill bar that looked like a school of fish, and after clicking to open, four or five yellow circles one meter square appeared on the waters within the visible range of the map.
