The dinner at this restaurant at the Hollien Hotel was not bad, I ordered a flavored sausage and a grilled lizardtail, as for dessert it was a local seasonal fruit platter, the northerners of the empire are probably not used to the taste of this sweet and spicy flavored sausage, but that large plate of grilled lizard tail is really a little amazing, not only the meat is tender and juicy, but the tailbone is actually full of crispy bones, crunchy in the mouth, dipped in the secret sauce provided by the restaurant, which makes people appetize.Anne also recommended to us the more famous pancakes in Strange Rock City, which are eaten with roasted lizardtails.However, as a vegetarian Minotaur Ruka, he can only hold a pot of crispy pancakes and a large fruit platter and eat it violently, now the imperial capital is in winter, except for some winter stored apples and pears and other fruits, other kinds of fruits are difficult to eat, there are many kinds of fruits here in Qiyan City, Ruka burped, just like the swamp mire constantly coming out of the swamp mud, the sound is dull, with the sound of the bursting of blisters.After we had dinner in the dining room, the waiter came up with a tray and handed me a parchment note, which I thought was the bill for the meal, but the waiter bent down and whispered to me, "Dear Magician, there is a gentleman at the door of the restaurant who has left you a note. ”I took the parchment and took a casual look at it, and found that it was really a note, and this custard note had a line of imperial characters on it, which read: Dear guest, do you need a guide?
If you're looking to venture into the treacherous jungle outside of Rock Castle, be sure to find a qualified guide, and if you're willing to hire me, I'm sure you'll get something you didn't expect.Sharuk.Ying Li and the others were curious to come over and take a look at the contents, but they were very reserved and wanted to maintain their ladylike image in public, so they could only pass their eyes to me frequently, and I handed the parchment note to Ying Li and explained to everyone: "There is a gentleman who wants to recommend himself to be our guide. ”"In Strange Rock City, being a guide is a very common profession, and many people here make a living from it."
Anne said as she sat next to Sue, having just finished the crispy pancakes on her plate with a ballet in her hand.The girls all looked at me, we went to the slave market in Haiyin Silk City to meet the biggest lizard slave owner there, Jonah.
Adams, ask him to recommend us a few experienced and well-known guides in Strange Rock City, because I am worried that those well-known guides will be full, Jonah Adams recommended a total of five guides to us, so for the time being, I want to meet these well-known guides in Strange Rock City in the list, and the five names in the list in my memory are not named Sharukshi.So I had to think of a reason to refuse, and I said, "I'll talk to him." ”After I had paid the waiter eleven silver hammers for his meal, and tipped him with a silver hammer, the attendant said quietly, "This man has come here a lot, Mr.
Magician, and it is best to be careful what you do with him. ”That was probably the charm of the silver tip, and I did not say anything to him, for the slightest hint would be an unnecessary trouble for the waiter to be noticed by the man at the door, Sharukh.The waiter and I walked through the restaurant aisle, and he walked towards the back kitchen, while I went straight to the door."
I don't know you."
I spoke to the young man waiting at the door, my tone a little stiff.The young man took off his hat and saluted me, and said in a rich tone, "But I know you need a guide like me. ”His eyes were very flexible, his smile had a hint of ruffianism, his eyes first looked for my magic badge, and then secretly looked at my magic belt, my magic perception felt the smell of a eater in him, but he was just an ordinary person, I couldn't guess where he got this confidence."
I'm sorry, I think I'm going to disappoint you, I don't need a guide."
I said to the young man.He shrugged his shoulders indifferently, he waved his hand at me and said, "If you change your mind at any time, please come to me at this address, I look forward to working with you." ”He left the restaurant.After dinner, Sue and Helena clamored to go outside, and Erica-senpai was not in the mood and stayed alone in the hotel.We walked out of the Hollien Lodge and across a wide street in front of the Hollien Inn, opposite the Civic Center Plaza, surrounded by tall coconut trees and a neatly manicured green belt.When a group of young people saw us in the square, they approached us and asked, "Do you need a guide?"
If you want to venture into the jungle, you can hire us, we are familiar with the jungle around Strange Rock City" Facing the group of young guides, the Minotaur Ruka stood up to them and said, "We don't need guides for the time being. ”His voice was like thunder, and he stood in front of these young people like a small mountain, and frightened them into retreating, not daring to come any closer.Leaving the Civic Center Square, we walked along the street in front of the Civic Center, and met several guides who came up to introduce themselves.As night covered Rock City, we found a magic caravan on the street, told the coachman to go to our Clover Tavern, and Anne negotiated the price with the coachman, and the magic caravan drove us all the way.Clover Tavern is a thief association in Strange Rock City, the thieves association is the largest intelligence platform in the Grimm Empire, specializing in providing customers with all kinds of information, and will also accept various investigation tasks, the name of the thieves guild does not sound very good, in fact, they are more like an organization established by a group of private detectives.The Clover Tavern is where they trade information and where they commission missions, and Justus is very familiar with them, and he has been running a tavern of this nature on Dunai Island in the first place, specializing in selling all kinds of information and accepting commissions.The night in Qiyan City is also a bit sultry, there is no wind, and it feels like the air can pinch out water, and it is wet everywhere, which is very friendly to water magicians.Justes and I sat on the side seats on either side of the doorway, Win Li, Helena, and Becky sat opposite Anne and Sue, and Ruka the Minotaur sat on the salute rack behind the magic caravan, which was fortunate to be able to withstand so many people, and it didn't seem too hard for the two Gubora horses to pull us all.The streets in Qiyan Castle are very smooth, the main road is paved with bluestone slabs, and the drainage facilities are very complete, and you can see the drainage ditches covered with stone slabs on both sides of the road.The caravan walked down the main street of Strange Rock City, which was lined with a variety of shops that were lit up at night, and many of the goods sold here had a jungle feel.As Anne explains, Strange Rock City is a city with a high proportion of foreign population, and it is home to explorers from all over the world, who walk the streets wearing leather armor and carrying weapons on their backs, and they are instantly recognizable, such as us young adventurers from the imperial capital.Along the way, I saw some young people boldly approaching these adventuring groups and trying to communicate with them.Ying Li's eyes retracted from the window, and he couldn't help but say to us, "There are really many guides in this city. ”Anne said to us, "This was not the case when I left Strange Rock City with the Legion, and now Strange Rock City has become a strange place for me. ”As we walked into Rock City, Anne seemed to have stepped into her own role.In her opinion, I invited her and Su to join our adventure party, in addition to friendship, and more importantly, I took a fancy to Su's excellent ability, which is almost impossible to find a priest with healing ability in the imperial capital now.In addition, she took a fancy to her life experience in Qiyan City in the past few years, so she needed to let us know the city faster.I know that's what Anne thinks in her heart, in fact, I've always wanted to find a suitable opportunity to tell them the truth of the matter, but unfortunately I haven't found the right opportunity, and I haven't untied the veil until now."
Have you lived in this city all these years?
Take me tomorrow to visit the places where you lived. ”Sue said to Anne.She took Anne's arm and looked out the window from time to time.Anne and Su have been getting together less and leaving more for several years, and this time the service period has expired, and they haven't thought about whether to continue to stay in the South Wind Legion for the time being, and probably want to take the opportunity to accompany Su more.The way Anne laughed made me dazed and I seemed to be beautiful from her.
I saw the shadow of Sister Guoguo in her beautiful face, and then my heart seemed to beat out of my heart at that moment.She smiled and said to Su: "Okay, I basically live in the barracks, and now except for the garrison, all the Constructed Knights over there have followed the Captain of the Aix Legion to the imperial capital, and there are almost no people I know here." ”Strange Rock City is not very large, and although it is the capital of Strange Rock Province, the rainforest here restricts the development of Strange Rock City.The magic caravan soon drove to the door of the Clover Tavern, but it was very lively, we walked down from the magic caravan, and looked up to see the magic lamp plaque dozens of meters long in front, on which the magic lanterns formed a jungle pattern, in which there was a group of very conspicuous words clover.The tavern is shaded by a dense palm tree, it looks more like a pergola built in the woods, from which bright lights shine, there are many drinkers gathered inside, we walk into a somewhat chaotic tavern, it is filled with all kinds of people, some are foreign adventurers, some are real drinkers, some are tavern staff and escort girls, and some locals are staring at all kinds of fruits and special food in the tavern back and forth, Unexpectedly, one of the largest intelligence places in Qiyan City looked like a bustling vegetable market."
Look at the way the owner runs the tavern, and look at the days you spent on Dunai," I couldn't help but spit at Justes.Justes smiled and said to me, "If it weren't for the damn plane war, if it wasn't for the stupid Boris.
Mensa, in fact, my tavern is doing very good business. ”Ruka the Minotaur walked in the front, and almost everyone who walked across the street would make way for the burly Minotaur, and we didn't have much trouble walking through the cluttered tavern hall and went straight to the bar inside the tavern, which was crowded with people, and Ruka and Justus used their eyes to dissuade some of the drinkers, and we sat down in front of the bar, and the bartender in the tavern bar rolled his eyes, glared at the Minotaur Ruka and said, "What do you want to drink, Yankee."
I advise you that it is better not to make trouble here. ”I stepped out from behind the minotaur, sat down in front of the bartender, placed a gold coin on the bar, pushed it in front of him, and said, "Give each of us a glass of coconut wine, and I want to meet your boss." ”The bartender looked at me with some wariness and asked, "Magician?"
What do you have to do with our boss?
”As he spoke, he quickly put the gold coins in his pocket, and set out a row of wine glasses on the bar, pouring milky white juice from a green coconut shell.I propped my chin in one hand and looked at him calmly: "I want to buy some information from him." ”"You wait" the bartender raised his arms high and shouted to a young man who was drinking with someone at a wine table, "Willow, come here, there are a group of northerners looking for our boss and want to buy some messages." ”The atmosphere in the tavern was noisy, and it seemed like no one cared about us, but I could clearly feel that someone was staring at us.The young man jumped up agilely, his body was nimble like a monkey, he came up to me, looked at me carefully, and said to me, "You come with me" Luka the Minotaur and Justus followed me, but were stopped by the young man, he glanced at Ruka the Minotaur warily, "You stay here, only two people can come up with me." ”Hearing him say this, I waved at everyone, and the minotaur Ruka and Justus sat back in their chairs, and Caterina followed me, and the young man looked at Caterina in surprise, and without saying anything, he led us straight to the room at the back of the tavern, and we walked through the kitchen at the back of the tavern, and into a room without secrets, which was arranged like a magical grocery store, with bundles of scrolls on the shelves, and a bald middle-aged uncle with a shy stomach, sorting through the information on the counter.When he saw someone walk in, he pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked up at us, a stiff smile on his face."
Welcome to the beautiful Strange Rock City, I don't know if there's anything that can help you, Your Excellency the Magician?""
I'd like to buy some news from the thieves' guild in Strange Rock City."
I sat across from him and said.The balding middle-aged uncle motioned to the young man guarding the door to close the door, and said to me with a dry laugh, "I'm the manager of the Thieves' Guild in Strange Rock City, tell me what you want to know?"
