It seems that I have to find a place to live as soon as possible.

He grabbed Aliana with both hands and put her behind him: "Qian, let's go into the city and take a look."

Reiner brought a few people into Cannon.

Since it was winter, there were almost no people on the streets. Reiner wandered around the city for a while before he found a place that looked like a tavern.

There were many bearded diners sitting around the table eating stew, and there was a faint smell of alcohol around.

After the group entered the tavern, their eyes naturally fell on the women behind Reiner.

Aliana felt uncomfortable being stared at, so she put on her hood, lowered her head and followed Reiner closely.

"Reiner, what is this place? I hate this place," she muttered under her breath.

"A tavern is a place to gather intelligence. If you arrive in an unfamiliar town, the first thing you should do is go to a tavern to inquire about the local intelligence. Tavern owners are well-informed and have many connections.

I want to rent a spacious house to rest for a while, and I may live here temporarily for a while."

Aliana nodded: "It feels... quite interesting."

Reiner caught a glimpse of some unusual travelers gathered in the corner of the tavern.

Seeing the middle-aged man sitting at the counter and the densely packed notice board, Reiner probably understood.

He turned back to Junice and said, "That looks like a local adventurer's association."

After observing for a while, Junice nodded and said, "Indeed, Reiner, you go ahead and ask. I'll go over and take a look."

Reiner struck up a conversation with the tavern owner and found out about a two-story cottage on the edge of town with a total of five small bedrooms, which was exactly what they needed.

Reiner's family of four only needs two bedrooms, while Junice and Ariana can each have one, leaving a small room next to the backyard that can be converted into a bathroom.

The purchasing power of Barnett gold coins seems to be pretty good. It only costs one gold coin to rent such a big house for a year.

"Can I rent it for half a year first?"

Reiner wasn't sure how long he would stay here.

"Alright, half a gold coin then."

Reiner pulled out his purse and handed a gold coin to him. "Can I use another country's currency?"

The tavern owner picked up the gold coin and looked at it. "Diast gold coins? The purity of the gold inside is shockingly low. We don't accept them. You can go to the counter next to it and exchange money with the old bald man. He's a currency merchant."

"Oh, I also have Barnett gold coins. You can just exchange the rest of the money into silver coins for me." Reiner handed over the gold coin with the ancient tree printed on it.

"No need to go through so much trouble." The tavern owner took the gold coin, then used the small chopping board beside him to split it in half and handed the other half to Reiner.

???

No, buddy.

"You're from out of town, right? Don't be surprised. It's like this here. Gold and silver coins are easy to find, but only copper coins are intact."

Reiner breathed a sigh of relief and just followed the local customs.

The tavern owner turned around and searched among the junk, then handed over a bunch of rusty iron keys. "I'll have the handyman take you across the hall later."

Just then Junice came over.

She was holding a purse in her hand and looked in a good mood...
