519 Grey Mouse

Scream~

The wooden door of the tavern was pushed open suddenly. The drinkers in the tavern couldn't help but look up at the door. Before they could see a figure, the voice blew in with the cold wind: "Boss, lady! Come with three glasses of ale!"

"Here you come!"

The owner of the tavern was a young girl. She replied in a clear voice and greeted her with a tray: "A few guests are here, do you want to order anything else?"

"Another portion of rhinoceros meat, three pieces of dough cake!"

The guest responded loudly, followed the boss's footsteps to a table and sat down. Only then did the people in the tavern see the appearance of the three of them clearly.

The leader was wearing gray steel armor, with a gray giant sword behind him, and a gray package outside the scabbard. Even a gray scarf was worn on his face. He was tall and had no sound at all when walking. The two people following him were wearing gray leather armor of similar styles. One was carrying a bow and arrow behind him, while the other had four daggers on his waist and thighs.

The only strange thing is that none of the three people wear any badges on their chests.

"There are three more gray mice."

In the corner, I don’t know who made a disdainful voice.

The three of them were not annoyed, but just sat around the table and waited silently. After the boss's wife brought the meat and bread, she did not pay, but just handed the long sword to the boss's wife.

The boss's wife seemed to be used to this, took the long sword and looked at it a few times, and said calmly: "Add another one."

“It was enough before!”

The man with the bow and arrow on his back seemed like a woman. He looked a little angry and stood up and wanted to argue with the boss lady. However, the leading man pressed her shoulder, shook his head, took out a dagger and handed it to the boss lady.

The boss lady held the dagger in her hand and played with it for a few times, nodding with satisfaction: "This is not bad, I'll give you a free information. Recently, a knight came here. It's best to be careful when you're taking action recently."

"Just a knight."

The leading man didn't care. He waved his hand to the boss's wife, grabbed a piece of rhinoceros meat and ate it in big mouthfuls. However, the other two looked at each other and showed an unpredictable smile, obviously they were making some ideas.

The boss's wife didn't care, so she returned to the kitchen with a tray, and the usual noisy in the tavern was restored.

However, the positions around the three people were cleared out in a tacit understanding by the others.

More than ten minutes later, the three of them had enough food and drink, got up and wanted to leave the pub, but the pubs were pushed away again.

"Boss, let's have a glass of ale to warm up your body!"

The cold wind blew into the tavern with an unhappy voice, and the proprietress immediately laughed: "Here you come!"

The three of them happened to walk to the door of the tavern and met the person who opened the door. The leader nodded. The visitor was slightly stunned and nodded with a smile. He just felt a little strange in his heart. He always felt that the three of them had a little wrong eyes. It seemed that when he was saying hello, his eyes were focused on him...

Then, the four people passed by, and the visitor didn't think much about it. He took two steps, took the wine glass from the boss's wife, raised his head and poured it down, and after swallowing it a few times, he finished drinking the whole glass of ale: "Huh--! It's much more comfortable! Two portions of rhinoceros meat, and two more noodles!"

"Okay, you're here to sit."

The proprietress smiled and greeted the visitor, led him to the table where the three of them had just sat, and then added a glass of ale to Sawyer, and took away the cups and plates left by the three of them.

"This ghost weather! It's so cold!"

The visitor complained again, pulled off the goggles and placed them next to the table, but it was Sawy who arrived here three days ago.

More than 20 days ago, after staying in Qingyan for one night, Saoya bid farewell to Carlot and Greta and rushed to an intermittent stronghold between Sapphire Ring and Ember Ring. However, even with Saoya's degree, it took him half a month to finally get here.

Of course, part of the reason is that Sawyer was not prepared enough, so he ate the supplies halfway and had to return to trade with the caravan I had encountered before, which took two or three days.

Three days ago

Before, Sawyer finally arrived at this intermittent stronghold before the supplies were exhausted again, and after taking a break and replenishing the supplies, he went into the unstable area and searched for the legendary space-time cracks.

However, in the past three days, no traces of the time and space cracks were found. Instead, there were many space cracks, and even encountered a black beast that awakened the mystery of space. It took Sawyer most of the day to ask the monster to track it.

Even though he had returned to the intermittent stronghold, when he thought of the black beast of the rank, Soya was still scared. It was comparable to the fourth-ring knight's title, not to mention awakening the mystery of space. In the unstable zone, this monster could even actively manipulate the space cracks to attack Soya. If Soya hadn't slipped fast, he might have died under the hands of this monster.

Thinking of this, Sawyer couldn't help but take a big sip of ale and suppressed his shock, but felt uneasy. He looked around with the cover of the wine glass for a while, but most of the people in the tavern were staring at him, and many people even showed gloating expressions without any hesitation.

"What's the situation? Could it be that the incident of my being hunted by the black beast has spread here?"

Sawyer's eyelids twitched, but he still felt something was wrong. The group of people looked at him not as if they were looking at a embarrassed escapee, but rather like...

"King, you have all your stuff~!"

Just then, the boss lady came over with a tray, put three plates in front of Sawyer, and then stood aside with a smile and stopped talking.

"Here."

Saoya curled her lips and threw a crystal coin over, which immediately made the boss's wife smile on her face, and she threw herself on Saoya's back: "King Master is really generous!"

But he heard Sawyer say slowly: "This is the room and before meals for the next half month."

The smile on the boss's face froze immediately. He snorted and turned around, twisted his waist and returned to the back of the bar. He looked up at Sawyer and couldn't help laughing again.

Just with this crystal coin, let alone half a month, she would not lose even if Sawyer had eaten and lived here for a month!

This crystal currency is not like the ordinary currency of major city-ring stores. It can only circulate in the radiation area of ​​a single city-ring. It is an energy currency, similar to the spirit stones in the novel. It can not only be used as currency, but also condenses a massive amount of pure energy. If used for cultivation, the efficiency can be increased several times or even dozens of times!

Moreover, this kind of crystal currency can be used in any entire city, and its purchasing power is scary. Normally, let alone a knight, even a big knight rarely uses crystal coins to pay the bill.

Take the Sapphire Ring City that Soya came before as an example. The base currency of Blue City is considered to have strong purchasing power. On weekdays, you have to serve two side dishes and a glass of ale to go to the tavern, but the price of four or five black coins is only the price of ten black coins every day. The exchange ratio of crystal coins and black coins is between 1 to 10,000 and 1 to 10,000 and 1 to 10,000!

If it is the Xist Ring City or Aoki Ring City with low purchasing power of currency, the exchange ratio between crystal coins and base currency can even be as high as 100,000!

Generally speaking, crystal coins are not visible in daily purchases. Even some stores specializing in luxury goods rarely receive crystal coins. Only at some large auctions, when it is the finale's turn to start auctioning, crystal coins will appear as circulating currency. Even in areas outside the Fifth Ring Road of major cities, many people don't even know what crystal coins are!

Even at the intermittent stronghold, there will be many additional fees after the materials are transported, resulting in the price here three to five times that of the city. If you use crystal coins to settle the bill, it will definitely be more than enough to live in this crystal coin for the first half of the month.

You should know that although the prices in the intermittent stronghold are three to five times that of the city, due to the limitation of supplies, there are actually not many places to spend money here, and there are not so many delicacies. If you just eat and live, even if you live in the best room and eat the best dishes, you will only have more than 300 black coins a day. Even if Sawyer can eat, you will definitely not be able to eat 500 black coins, and a crystal coin?

It is probably enough for the boss to serve Sawyer in person every day.

No wonder the boss lady smiled so happily. She let Sawyer eat and live here for half a month, even if she used an external quote.

It is just a business of four or five thousand black coins. In terms of cost, it is less than two thousand black coins. But this time you can earn a crystal coin, which is more than five times the profit. This is not a Knight, it is simply a golden lump that fell from the sky!

For a qualified businessman, one hundred percent profit can make them take risks, and three hundred percent profit can make them trample on all laws, not to mention that it is now more than five hundred percent profit!

So the boss lady thought about it and picked up the wine pot and walked towards Sawyer. Her face was so gentle and her graceful figure were so beautiful that the guests in the entire tavern widened their eyes.

And Sawy?

What else can he do except smile bitterly and continue eating?

Suoya naturally knew the market here, but he was helpless. Although he had worked with Gregory for more than two months, the little money he saved was spent as soon as he arrived at the intermittent stronghold. Only one bag of crystal coins left by Royna was left on him. He couldn't throw out a crystal coins and let others find thousands of black coins, right?

Besides, he didn't think the boss's wife would "make change" for him. At most, it was to provide more services to earn the difference.

For example now.

Seeing the boss's wife sitting next to her like the most professional accompanying staff, adding wine and food to her with a gentle face, if she said she was uncomfortable, she would definitely be lying to her wife. However, when Sawyer saw the boss's wife's face, he remembered the half of the crystal coin he wasted, and his heart was thrust, and the degree of enjoyment was immediately reduced.

So Suoya didn't go to see the boss's lady's gentle pretty face that could drip out of water. She just swallowed her own voraciously. In just a few minutes, she got up and walked towards the room upstairs.

However, after just two steps, Saoya stopped in surprise. The drinkers in the tavern stared at Saoya like dementia.

"What are you here for?"

Sawyer looked at the boss lady who was following behind him like a young wife, and felt a headache. He didn't believe that just one crystal coin could make the boss lady in the intermittent camp take the initiative to sacrifice herself.

When he first came to the intermittent place, he heard the legend of this boss lady. It is said that he inherited his father's hotel at the age of thirteen and worked here for seven years. In these seven years, he has been beautiful and cute when he was a child, and the more beautiful the older he grew up, there are people who want to make trouble and tease her tofu, and the more pursuers are like crucian carp trees. However, no one has ever gained any advantage from the boss lady.

It is said that last year, a passing knight fell in love with the boss's wife. After spending two crystal coins, the boss's wife refused. She was so angry that she was as if she was using force, and then...

Sawyer turned his head and looked at the corner of the tavern. The guy holding a broom to clean up the garbage, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"Help you clean up the room," the proprietress said for granted, "Don't worry, this is an additional service and there will be no additional charge!"

What I worry about is never the extra charge, okay!

Sawy's forehead thrusts and thrusts back, but finally swallows the sentence back, gritting his teeth and turning around and leaving, just pretending that he didn't see the boss lady behind him.

He came all the way to the "high-end room" on the top floor. After the boss's wife cleaned up the room with dazzling qualities, Sawy's brain became sore again.

"So, why are you still standing here?"

Sawyer rubbed his forehead, but he didn't believe that the boss lady would provide any special services.

Sure enough, the boss's face turned a little more serious, and he looked up and down with interest: "Of course we will continue to provide additional services. For the sake of Jingcoin, I will provide you with the information you need. You know, I am a businessman, and of course I am honest in doing business, you get what you pay for!"

Integrity is the basis? You get what you pay for?

I believe you, why do I only hear that you charge randomly in a tavern, and you will raise the price if you are in a bad mood, and continue to raise the price if you are in a good mood?

Sawyer began to rub his forehead with both hands: "You don't know what I'm here for, and what information can you provide me?"

"Hey," the boss's wife patted her head, as if she was just thinking about it

Asked this question, but he still smiled and said, "I naturally don't have the information you want yet, but there is an information related to you, specifically, it is information related to your life. Can this impress you?"

"Hmm?" Now, Sawy also became serious, "Let's hear it."
