"Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya thought for a moment and replied:
"Tonight at 8 o'clock, Pier 6."
Not bad, no delay at all... Klein nodded slightly and said:
"good."
As soon as he finished speaking, the light in the crystal ball suddenly dimmed, and the figure in the black classical robe became darker and blurrier, and soon disappeared.
Holding the crystal ball that had become very ordinary, Klein turned around, opened the door, and walked out.
After looking at the boss who was leaning against the wall and drinking, he threw the crystal ball to him.
While the boss was frantically catching it, Klein walked down the stairs at a leisurely pace and left the warehouse.
After the "Whale Dance" was played, he took out his gold-cased pocket watch, clicked the switch, and checked the time.
It was almost noon, and most bars were open... Klein stopped a rented carriage and told the other party in Feysac that he was going to the "Lodar" bar - which means "Dawn" bar in the local language, a place where adventurers from the Gargas Islands are relatively concentrated.
For Klein, the collection of different intelligence and the acquisition of various news are of great significance. This may help him make the most accurate judgment at a critical moment and escape the misfortune of losing his life. Therefore, even if he doesn't like bars very much, he has to go there often, order a glass of beer with a strong malt aroma, sit quietly in the corner of the bar, and listen to the people around him talk about the interesting and important things that happened at sea.
In addition, he also wanted to find out whether Roy King, who was imprisoned in Governor Bayam's Mansion in the "City of Generosity", had been rescued. In the past two months, "Mercury Snake" Will Auceptin had not appeared in his dreams again, and "Member of Fate" Rejord had not summoned a messenger to provide clues about powerful magical items.
More than twenty minutes later, the carriage stopped and the "Lodar" bar with a huge sign appeared in front of Klein.
He habitually took out a 2-sule note and paid the driver.
It was not until he saw the driver's rough face clearly that he suddenly remembered something:
This is a foreign country, this is Feysac's colony, and it has its own universal currency!
The smallest is the Gobi, followed by the Firth, and then the Goldhorn. They maintain a very human decimal system, making conversion very easy.
I forgot to go to the bank to exchange kopecks and silver... I spent all the money I had before at the hotel and restaurant... Just as Klein was about to look for a bank nearby, the driver happily took the two 1-sol notes, checked them over and over again, and smiled so hard that his rough skin was full of radiance:
“Thank you, thank you for your generosity!”
Gold pounds, soles, and pennies are also hard currencies here? Well, the Gargas Islands are not too far from Toscat and Oravi, and many items are sold to these two places. In addition, many Loen adventurers like to go to this "White Whale Sea", so it is normal for the currency of the Loen Kingdom to circulate privately locally... Hehe, Loen's industrial and economic strength are stronger than that of the Feysac Empire, and it can even be said that it is much stronger. The gold pound is much stronger than that of the Kinghorn... Wait! Klein got off the carriage and walked towards the "Lodar" bar, recalling the surprised face of the coachman just now.
Suddenly, he remembered one thing, that is, 1 gold pound can be exchanged for 5.5 gold horns.
That is to say, 2 Soles are worth 5.5 silver.
In the "White City", the cost of renting a carriage for one hour is 4 silver. If it is less than one hour, it will be counted as one hour.
No wonder the driver was so happy! Klein looked back and saw that the carriage had disappeared.
Huh... Klein let out a light breath, lowered his hat, pushed open the heavy wooden door, and entered the "Lodar" bar.
In this world, bars near docks or factory areas often sell lunch and dinner, so they open around 11 o'clock. At this time, many idle adventurers gather in front of the bar, ordering liquor, smoked fish, and greasy soups and vegetables, and eat them with bread, enjoying it very much.
Drinking Lelanzi and Nepos at noon? Are you planning to get drunk all day? This custom of Feysac is really hard to accept... Klein muttered a few words, walked to the bar with an expressionless face, sat in the corner, and tapped the wooden board:
"Two slices of toasted sausage, one portion of smoked whale meat, one portion of vegetable soup, and a glass of Glasgow beer."
Glass beer is more popular on the east coast of Feysac, and is also common in places such as Sonia Island and Gargas Islands.
"New here?" The bartender looked up at Klein. "A total of 4 silver and 6 kopecks."
If you don't drink strong liquor, you are new here? Klein ignored the other party's question and directly threw a 2-sol note over.
This is worth 5 francs and 5 kopecks.
Thinking that this was Gehrman Sparrow, Klein resisted the urge to ask for change and just considered it a tip.
Of course, in Backlund's bar, this much food would cost about 2 soles.
The bartender, who received the tip, did not ask any more questions. He quickly poured a glass of glass of beer and pushed it in front of Klein.
This beer is dark in color, has thick foam, and has a burnt aroma. It is mellow yet slightly stimulating, making Klein feel that the alcohol content is high, and he wonders if it has been mixed with any strong liquor.
While waiting for food, he sipped his wine and listened quietly to the adventurers chatting around him.
Most of the conversation among the group focused on how so-and-so made a fortune, so-and-so was killed by pirates, so-and-so killed the pirate captain but did not ask for a reward and instead took over the other party's subordinates, so-and-so had an illegitimate child with a certain woman in Nas, and so-and-so behaved badly in a brothel and became a laughing stock.
When the Gargas specialty thick vegetable soup made with beets, onions, cabbage, carrots, fish, and cream was served to Klein, he finally heard something interesting.
An adventurer lowered his voice and said to his companions around him:
"Have you heard? There is a relic from the Fourth Epoch east of Gargas."
"No! Who found it?" his companion asked in surprise and curiosity.
The adventurer glanced around and said without much concern:
"It was discovered by Garrus, who, as you know, was a skilled diver.
"He was drunk and was blown off the deck by a storm and sank to the bottom of the sea. Who knew that some steel building wreckage was found there? It must have been made by humans!"
"And then?" his companion demanded.
The adventurer laughed softly:
"Gallas followed the wreckage and found a huge abandoned underwater well of unknown depth. It was already filled with seawater, but it still gave him a very deep and terrifying feeling. With a storm above, this well might lead to the center of the earth.
"He said there seemed to be something inside that was calling him, but he didn't dare to explore and floated to the surface in fear."
A huge deep-sea well... a strange feeling of "attraction"... This may not be a relic from the Fourth Epoch. Perhaps it is from the Third or Second Epoch. Little "Sun" once said that in that dark era, sea monsters submitted to the Elf King Sonyatholem and helped him rule the seabed... sweet, salty, and slightly sour... Klein took a sip of thick vegetable soup and forked up the smoked white whale meat.
The adventurers didn't talk much about Gareth's experience, because no exciting gold jewelry, magical items, or extraordinary materials had appeared yet.
They soon talked about several adventurers with whom they were not on good terms, and mocked them for marrying beautiful local girls, but after three to five years, all of them turned into strong and fat women, whose strength could rival that of Low-Sequence Beyonders.
Finally, they concluded that this might be due to the small amount of giant blood flowing in the Feysac people.
They didn't talk about anything worthwhile until Klein finished his lunch and focused on drinking. However, more and more people were entering the "Lodar" bar.
Suddenly, the heavy door flew open and slammed against the wall.
A young man wearing a top hat and with obvious Loen ancestry rushed in and shouted nervously:
"Is there anyone from the Adventurers' Mutual Aid Association?"
Yes, Bilt still owes me an item creation... Klein saw the young man looking back nervously and instinctively thought that he was being chased by someone.
Before he could think clearly whether to help or not, three adventurers stood up in different corners. One of them was over two meters tall, with broad shoulders, muscular body, light yellow hair, and deep blue eyes, very eye-catching.
The sense of power is as real as substance... This is a Beyonder of a relatively high sequence... Klein retracted his gaze and turned back into a spectator, looking towards the door of the bar.
A man wearing a linen shirt and a brown jacket soon appeared there. He was of medium build, with purple lips and brown eyes that contained a strong malice that he tried hard to suppress but could not conceal.
He... Klein immediately thought of a portrait on a wanted poster!
That belongs to the second mate of the "Undead King" Agaritu, the "Slayer" Gilchias, whose bounty is 9,500 pounds!
This is a notorious pirate... Klein's mind tensed up, his eyes locked on the other party, his left hand hanging naturally, and his body ready to pounce at any time.
Gilchies glanced at the two-meter-tall "giant", then looked at Klein, then suddenly retracted his gaze, turned around and left the door of the "Lodar" bar without stopping for a moment.
Very decisive, very alert... Klein frowned slightly, confident that he had not revealed any murderous intent just now, and even controlled his gaze very well.
Was he worried about the "giant", or was his intuition really sharp to some extent? Just like, just like the "devil's" premonition of danger? Klein drank the remaining glass beer with a gulp, and did not participate in the private communication between the members of the Adventurers' Mutual Aid Association. He left the bar directly and went to the street.
Now he doesn't want to create any new problems besides searching for the mermaid.
Looking around, Klein discovered that the "Slayer" Gilchies had already gone far away and was nowhere to be found, so he quietly returned to the hotel.
…………
City of Silver, inside the round tower.
Derrick Berg met Colin Iliad, the chief of the Council of Six, again.
He clearly remembered that nearly seventy "days" ago, the other party told him that he would have a mission to go out and explore in about two months, and he had to be prepared.
