"Let me see, is there a menu?"

The girl took a quick look around the bar, wanting to see what everyone was drinking.

Most people have ordinary bread, vegetable soup, and a few slices of smoked sausage, which is their dinner for tonight.

Compared to what she had seen in Hopeland, the food here was cheaper, with an ordinary dinner costing about 20 copper coins.

Although the taste is ordinary and there is no seasoning, these people who have worked hard don’t care much about it. When you are hungry, everything tastes good.

The cool outdoors can be said to be a natural refrigerator. After the beer has been cooled for half a day, it is moved back indoors and it is just like when it was chilled.

As the bartender turned on the faucet, a sound of clear liquid flowing was heard. The transparent liquid, accompanied by a slight aroma of wine, rushed into the wooden cup, then was placed on a tray and brought to each table.

This ice-cold thick beer is the biggest entertainment for many people tonight. The refreshing feeling after drinking it makes the hard work of the day seem worthwhile.

"Give me one too." Looking at the items on the menu, the girl did not order those luxurious ingredients, but instead ordered an ordinary dinner like everyone else. She came here this time to see the current situation in various parts of Clancia, so naturally she wanted to try for herself how the meals of ordinary local people are.

"Okay, wait a moment."

Although he was curious about why the young lady ordered such a simple thing, the bartender did not ask any more questions and turned away.

While sitting and waiting, Lecia, also known as Loran Hill, also listened to what people in the bar were talking about.

"Have you heard? They're going to issue a conscription notice soon. They say we need to prepare for war."

"I know about that. It seems to be a conflict between the South and Frost Rose."

"I really want to go. After all, Clancy isn't like the noble lords of the past who withheld military pay. The treatment and food have always been very good."

"Haha, that's true. My nephew is like that. He seemed to have gained a lot of weight after he came back from the army. Actually, he was just too thin before."

"Unfortunately, there are age requirements for this conscription. I don't think I'll be selected. Now the best I can do is help out in the rear."

"All in all, I'm still quite hopeful now, unlike before when I was worried about all kinds of things."

"Yeah, in the past, whenever I gave out money, I had to be extremely careful and hide it in a corner of my house, for fear that some thugs would sneak in. Even if I ran a small business, I still had to pay various protection fees. How could I continue to do this?"

"With better public security, I feel more at ease doing anything and can sleep well every day. Oh, it's not easy. No wonder those people wanted to revolt back then. If they had known this would happen, who would have been willing to follow Xifeng?"

"Haha, I feel like if Clancy can maintain this for a few more years, those nobles in West Wind won't be able to regain power even if they want to."

"Come to think of it, I've forgotten the name of the previous city lord. It's only been two years, and I used to hear people scolding him every day."

"Now that you mention it, I can't remember it for the moment." Several middle-aged men sat together and laughed.

"Here's what you ordered." The bartender placed two plates of food in front of Lesia and Mira.

"Thanks."

Lecia looked at the rectangular bread, hesitated for a moment, turned to look at the person next to her, and then reached out and grabbed a small piece.

It turns out there are no knives and forks here, she sighed inwardly, and everyone just eats with their hands.

The bread was not soft, but rather hard. Fortunately, it was not that difficult to swallow when mixed with the vegetable soup. However, it had basically no taste.

Just as Lecia was slowly eating her dinner, four people who looked tired walked in. There were both men and women among them. Seeing that there were no empty seats in the bar, they found a place to sit down separately.

"Hello, is anyone here?" a woman asked casually, but her calm demeanor made it difficult to get angry.

"No." Lecia shook her head, then looked at the greatsword on her back, which was wrapped with anti-slip cloth.

After sitting down, the woman took off the sword on her back and placed it next to the table, allowing Leixia and Mira to look at it for a while.

The sword body looked like it was made of fine steel and was quite heavy. There were tiny serrated notches on it, but the edges were sharpened, showing that it was frequently used.

After ordering, the female adventurer looked at Resia and said with a smile, "Haha, is this your first time meeting this young lady?"

"Yes."

Lecia nodded. Hopeland used to be a commercial center with a dense population around it. There were no traces of magical beasts, and naturally there were fewer adventurers. Compared with these unscrupulous guards, the big chambers of commerce trusted their own people who had been trained since childhood more.

"It seems that you don't go out much." The adventurer, who is about 30 years old, is in the prime of life. Although she is a woman, she has a lot of muscles on her arms and looks like a veteran.

"Can you tell me about your daily adventures?" Lecia was a little curious. Although she was quite capable, she had not traveled to many places.

"That's fine, but you have to pay for my dinner tonight, otherwise I won't have the energy to talk so much."

"Sure." Lecia certainly doesn't lack this little money now.

"Haha, thank you, young lady." She said generously.

"Actually, we in this industry also travel around looking for work. After all, Warcraft isn't everywhere, and not everyone has the money to hire us."

Then she began to talk about her own experience.

This female adventurer was called Pauline. She had a bit of talent as a child, and had learned swordsmanship from a local supernatural school. Later, she gradually became involved in subjugating some monsters. Generally speaking, local supernatural factions would allow newcomers from their faction to practice, and that was how she gradually got to know and befriended a group of people.

After getting married, she was not satisfied with the tedious life after marriage and had no children, so she ran away to become an adventurer. In her own words, that is living a free and happy life.

Although they are only at the level of Sequence 3 now, with their rich experience and cooperation with their companions, they can occasionally hunt some weaker Sequence 4 monsters. When completing local commissions, they can also cut materials from the monsters and sell them for money.

"Generally speaking, the group of mages in the east buy more. We usually ask friends we know to transport them to Lurna and sell them."

In this way, if you do something big and kill a sequence 4 monster, you can rest for half a year without worrying about food and drink. If you are lucky, you can even exchange it for some equipment.

Leixia nodded, then looked at the two-handed sword on the table. According to her own carrying system analysis, this sword should be excellent bronze grade, which is quite good for an average transcendent.

"Where are you going recently?"

"Recently. I heard that several rock-drilling worms appeared in Northern Nied County, collapsing several mines. Now, the Clansian authorities have not only organized their own forces, but are also recruiting some adventurers to go there."

"Because this kind of monster roams underground and its whereabouts are unpredictable, it is very difficult to deal with, so the rewards are relatively generous."

"I see." Lecia nodded, thinking about her caravan's travel route. It happened that Ned County was on it, so she decided to go and take a look when the time comes.
