Chapter 288 Familiar Tavern
The strong light flashed suddenly and dazzled Luga's eyes. It was so strong that Luga had to open his eyes.
It turned out that this strong light was sunlight! The light shone through the shabby wooden window and onto Luka's face, stimulating him so much that he couldn't open his eyes.
"Are you also laughing at me? Or are you urging me on?" Feeling really lonely, Luga smiled at himself and slowly stood up under the sun.
Looking his clothes up and down, he realized that what Luca did last night was right. Because of the small bribe of bread, the mice had eaten up all the bread, while his leather boots and clothes were intact.
Looking at the bread in the corner, there were mice gnawing on it. It was indeed a rare delicacy. It finally gave me hope for the days when I could only look for food in the stinking garbage dump and chew wood. With delicious bread, naturally no mouse would be willing to chew on the hard leather.
"Then wish me good luck today!" Luga encouraged himself, tidied his clothes, fetched water from the pool outside, did a simple wash, put on his cloak again, and walked out of the dilapidated little house.
"Where should we look for him today?" Luca found that coming in alone was the stupidest decision he had made. If he had not thought too much at the beginning, after all, this was Aetius's territory, and his soldiers were discovered by Aetius's people in this city, then it would naturally be considered a provocation.
This was already a huge risk, as Luca was the only one wandering aimlessly on the street. He had no idea what to do, and while he was so focused on finding Anai, he actually forgot where to look in such a big city.
In the wealthy area, where private guards are everywhere, someone like Luca who deliberately hides himself would be too conspicuous here. He thought of finding Levi in the tavern before, so this time, he planned to try his luck and go to the tavern again to see if this damn guy would be here again!
With such a nervous mood, Luga reopened the largest tavern in Ludinan City after a full three years.
"I believe that I can still have the same good luck here as before!" Good luck, Luca actually called this good luck. After all, he is no longer the convenient Luca. At first, he just wanted to avoid Levi and find Anai, but now he can find Anai only after finding Levi!
This was more like a gamble, and Luca was constantly thinking about all the possible consequences. Of course, he was not afraid of these, because he felt that he was confident enough to kill Levi.
When he pushed open the door, the tavern was still full of people. Among the crowd, Luca finally found a seat that could accommodate himself.
"Excuse me, sir, what would you like to drink?" As soon as he sat down, the waiter came to Luga. He was a young guy with a lively smile on his young face. It seemed that this kind of life was satisfying to him.
"What are the signature drinks in your tavern?" Luca asked the young waiter with a smile.
"Of course!" the young waiter said confidently, "We have wine made from water from the Loire River, and many guests love it!"
"The Loire."
Hearing this, Lu Jia smiled and shook his head, refusing: "No, just give me a normal glass of wine."
"But sir!" The waiter was a little anxious, and still wanted to persuade Luca: "Everyone likes to drink this wine, but it is made from real water from the Loire River, and it is very sweet!"
"Ha, no, no!" Even with such an unyielding and even pleading tone, Luca still did not move him at all. Luca smiled and waved his hand at the waiter, and explained: "I can drink the water of the Loire River like blood. Just give me some wine, remember it must be from outside the city."
"Blood, taste?" Luca's words stunned the young waiter. He looked confused and didn't know how to answer. Luca's words made the waiter no longer insist. He turned around and slowly left with a puzzled look on his face.
Luga stretched his neck and looked around. The drinkers around him were talking and laughing among themselves, but all of them were unfamiliar faces.
"He doesn't seem to be here." Lu Jia cheered around and said to himself in his heart, inevitably feeling a little disappointed. "It seems that today's trip may be in vain." Lu Jia sighed in his heart. The young waiter brought a pot of wine and a few slices of toasted bread and carefully placed them in front of Lu Jia.
"Your drink, sir."
Luca nodded to him, paid two denarii, handed them to the waiter and said, "Take it. The rest is a tip. It's my gift to you!"
"Oh, thank you, thank you kind sir."
It seems that this tip is still very sufficient, much more than the one or two copper coins given by those stingy drinkers! The young waiter held the two denarii in both hands. He was very happy and thanked Luca repeatedly and praised his kindness.
"Ahhhhh!"
Just as the young waiter was about to turn around and leave, Luka called him from behind. The young waiter turned around with a puzzled look and looked at Luka.
"Why, I gave you so much, you should also give me something worth the price in exchange!" Luca said to him. Before the young waiter could speak, Luca asked, "How long have you worked in this tavern?"
"More than two years, sir!" replied the young waiter, holding the Denarius tightly in his hands.
"Well!" Luca said, and took out a new denarius from his pocket and kept playing with it in front of the waiter, and then asked: "Well, for the regular customers of this hotel, can you remember who they are?"
"Ha, this!" The young waiter puffed out his chest, looking as proud as a young rooster. "As long as you can describe the appearance and behavior of the regular customer, I can tell his name."
"Really?" Luca felt a little unbelievable.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Really!" The young waiter nodded twice, and it seemed that he was confident! "That would be the best!" Luca said with a smile, and then he described the Levi in his memory in great detail.
"You are talking about a gentleman named Levi!" After listening carefully, the young waiter immediately said the person Luca wanted.
"Yes, yes, that's him." Seeing that the young waiter knew Levi, Luca was so happy that he quickly pulled the waiter to his side and asked, "Do you know how often he comes to this tavern? And, the specific time, tell me, tell me quickly!"
"Okay, okay, sir!" The waiter was almost dizzy by him, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Levi often comes to the tavern recently, almost every day. As long as he is in this city, he often comes here to drink. I heard that..." The waiter hurriedly looked around and lowered his voice to Luca, "I heard that his wife has already fallen in love with someone, so this infatuated guy can only come here to drink to relieve his sorrow. Alas, how pitiful!"
As he said this, the door of the tavern was kicked open with a bang. Everyone's attention was drawn to the tavern, and a listless man strode in.
"Sir," the waiter whispered, "here he comes!"
Luca nodded, and the waiter reminded him, "Sir, he is a tough guy. His backer is the famous Marshal Aetius. Also, I heard that he is the commander of the Ravenna Guards. Sir, he is very dangerous!"
"I know, leave the rest to me!" Luca said, placing the Denarius in the waiter's hand.
"Hey! Boss!" Levi ran to the counter in two or three steps. The boss naturally knew this ruthless guy, so he didn't dare to neglect him. Before Levi could open his mouth, he handed him a full wooden cup of wine.
Levi shut his mouth when he saw the wine. He picked up the glass in a daze and drank it all in one gulp.
"It's him indeed!"
Luca muttered to himself, pushed away the waiter who wanted to stop him, and walked slowly towards Levi.
Hahahaha
