Chapter 0540: Black Cat Hotel
Canters City, Black Cat Inn.
As the closest city to the Tirisfal Woodlands, Canters City is undoubtedly the most convenient in terms of location. Therefore, the flow of people who are sent every day is mainly merchants, rich armor, and powerful people, and the mercenaries, adventurers, and wanderers who appear with them are correspondingly much more.
Similar to the high-end and quiet restaurants and aristocratic salons that the upper class likes to go to, the Black Cat Hotel is a perennial place for the three religions and nine streams. In addition to operating taverns and inns, it is also a favorite gathering place for dark elements such as the branch of the thieves' guild and the stolen goods sales center.
Due to the sudden "Moonlight Lake Murder Incident" a few days ago, a large number of wizards have arrived here, and the road to the Tirisfal Glade has been blocked. Therefore, a large number of nobles and wealthy merchants who came out for a holiday were blocked here, and their retinue and escorts could only spend time in the tavern.
As soon as it got dark, the tavern was already overcrowded.
Open the tavern's dilapidated double row of doors and be greeted by the hustle and bustle that can scare the unsuspected. If you are an adventurer and a homeless person who has been here all year round, you will be familiar with such disturbances, the hot smell that comes to your face, the pungent and cheap aroma of fat powder that comes with the heat, the smell of sweat, and the unique fragrance of oat wine, and you will be able to fully immerse yourself in the noise of this tired dead man in an instant.
But at this moment, the tall and graceful beauty standing proudly at the door obviously had no such intentions.
The tavern fell silent.
At this moment, all the drunken men; scantily dressed, holding a tray full of food in one hand, and nimbly knocking out the big obscene hand that sticks out from all corners with the other; The cloaked man who hid in the darkest corner and talked secretly couldn't help but look at the pretty girl standing proudly at the door.
This "outsider", who obviously does not belong to this world, is incompatible with this place in terms of dress and demeanor.
A pure black hollow close-fitting leather armor makes her full and upright figure unmistakable, and the white skin and the black leather suit form the most stark contrast, which makes people dizzy. This kind of black super style tight-fitting leather armor set by Li Xun himself, as well as the just right hollow design, more and more highlight the cold and arrogant temperament of the ghost.
As the graceful woman walked into the tavern, the sound of the crisp crystal heels hitting the wooden floor attracted people's attention to her slender and straight long legs, if it weren't for the cold gaze on her delicate fair face, I am afraid that someone on the scene would have been unable to hold back and stretch out the groping pig hand.
Purple hair, white skin, black nails, and a free and cool tough style make the ghost girl look so different. As she advanced, the powerful queen's aura made the drinkers standing in her way panic and give way.
It's just that there are bastards in every world who are not afraid of death. With the strength of the wine, a big hand with thick joints and wine stains in the crowd quietly touched the swaying Feng Tun of the ghost girl.
Perhaps with a little more effort, the drunkard's fingers could sweep the nostalgic abundance, but a dagger that appeared at some point stood in its path and pierced into it without hesitation.
"Ahh
With a terrible scream, a strong, rough-looking, wide-clothed man stumbled out of the crowd, holding a strange black dagger in the palm of his left hand.
"Damn woman, you're looking for ...... death"
After being injured, the strong man had obviously lost his mind, and roared and rushed towards the cold girl.
His irrational actions made several veteran mercenaries present frown, and a sneer of disdain was heard in the corner. The garbage who was drunk and dizzy, and he couldn't see the difference in strength between himself and the other party at all, so he dared to hand over his claws abruptly, I'm afraid......
Sure enough, before they could think about it, a fleeting black light hit the wounded man's forehead, and then he fell down like a rotten log, never to say anything more.
There was a sudden silence in the corner. Several of the cloaked men who had curled up in the shadows squirmed uneasily, no longer daring to cast their unbridled gaze on the woman as before.
The wounded strong man did not die, as shown by his chest swinging, but his current life and death were completely controlled by others. The black substance that had stunned him was turning into wisps of smoke and drifting into his nose and ears, without the slightest leakage. It is conceivable that once this kind of strange thing controlled by others explodes in the head, I am afraid that few people present at the beautiful and dazzling scene can appreciate and bear it without changing their faces.
Despite his ugly complexion, the fat tavern owner could only cry out in a loud voice, "Beautiful lady, please come here." We've got the best oat wine and fried steak here, do you want to order something? Come on, hurry up and throw this unruly! â
It's good that there are no dead people, anyway, in this lawless black den, a small injury is commonplace, and it will never attract those nasty city law enforcers.
While the girl sat quietly at the bar and enjoyed the delicious fried steak, two bear-like thugs squeezed through the crowd and walked out of the tavern with a humming hum.
The Black Cat Tavern is a mixed intelligence den and a stolen goods center, and it is not strange for all kinds of strange-shaped visitors. As long as they don't provoke them, indulgence in drinking and reckless fun is all they have.
Soon, the tavern was filled with the hustle and bustle of the past, and from time to time it was mixed with the coquettishness and laughter of scantily clad maids.
At a wooden table in the dark corner of the tavern that was not lit, three equally secretive cloaked men were whispering to each other, exchanging information with each other.
Although they also saw the scene just now, but what is it? The corner where they are is their world, and as long as they don't break through the door, their daggers in the dark will only bloom for gold.
But to be honest, that woman played with a dagger really well.
Teucer withdrew his gaze from the woman, pulled his hood again, and hid his face a little deeper, before turning to ask his companion.
"Haven't the roads to the north been opened yet? How long are those wizards going to be locked down? Did you hear anything? If this continues, the news from the north will be cut off! â
A companion with an equally vague face replied vaguely: "There is no way, the wizards are too tightly blocked, and the goods from the north really can't be transported." The wizards we have on are too low-level to get information from the top at all, only who they are searching for, but it is not very clear who they are. It seems that those who know the specific information are some great wizards and the like! â
"Great Wizard!" Teucer had a toothache, a name he didn't even dare to reach.
"Could it be another demon or devil made by those cultists?" The other leader of the thieves apparently remembered something.
"As far as I know, it seems to be stricter than that. At least this time, even high-level wizards have been dispatched in large numbers, and ordinary demon invasions can't use such a big battle! â
The information of the companion made the two colleagues gasp, and their bodies squirmed uneasily on the cold hard wooden chairs.
"In the past few days, a lot of people have come from the west and north, do you think we need to get involved?" As the leader of the local thieves' chapter, Teucer is obviously more concerned about local issues.
The liaison officer sent by the North Headquarters had obviously been explained in advance, and said faintly: "You can participate if you want to, but if something happens, no one will help you." I can tell you the truth, at the moment "Grand Wizard of Sarain is in the Tirisfal Glades!" â
The two local leaders of the Thieves' Guild were silent.
Recently, they have come into contact with a lot of cultists, dark wizards, and cold-blooded killers, and the huge bounties promised are coveted, but once a great wizard is involved, no amount of gold can buy back their lives.
"It seems that those ways are going to be rejected one by one. However, the information that a single great wizard is in the Tirisfal Glade may be able to exchange himself for a lot of golden cuties. Teucer and the other leader looked at each other, nodded at each other, and stopped continuing the conversation with the recent changes in prices on the black market.
How did the three little thieves who were not even at the 5th level know that just when they thought they were talking freely about their hidden and safe intentions, in the deeper shadows behind them, a slowly flowing black light had already transmitted all of them to the ears of the ghost girl in front of the bar. There are more than a dozen of them in the tavern, and almost every corner that thinks they are hidden is monitored in real time.
Even some shadows seeped into the backstage of the tavern, slowly extending towards the guest rooms, kitchens, storage rooms, etc.
"Grand Wizard?"
The girl quietly tasted the fragrant flavor of the tender calloin exploding in her mouth, while silently savoring this familiar and unfamiliar word.
The Great Wizard of the Wizarding World refers to a wizard who can perform witchcraft of the 8th rank or higher! Converted to the rank of the Klein Continent, it refers to the storage zĂ i above level 16. Such a character may need to be careful when he encounters himself, but he is only careful, and he is far from being a strong opponent. After all, even the ghost girl who has been cut by the great demon is not interested in this kind of caster who is weak and only relies on one or two tricky witchcraft to fight the world. As long as you don't give them plenty of time to cast spells, cutting them up is no more troublesome than pinching an ant to death.
It was only by accident that from another part of the crowd, the Phantom heard the disturbing word legendary wizard.
Legendary wizards?
Isn't this world the highest level to accommodate level 20, how can there be a legend?
The ghost's face, which had always been calm, finally moved, and after thinking for a moment, she had already made up her mind to touch the great wizard. After all, the specific information of legendary wizards can only be accessed by high-level wizards like them, and the vague descriptions of outsiders are far less accurate than their own evaluations.
It is necessary to find out what the high-end forces of the wizarding world can achieve in the shortest possible time, otherwise it will be difficult for the follow-up plan to be carried out safely.
Without saying a word, she threw down a few gold coins as food money, turned around and quietly left the tavern.
