Chapter 98 95. A Reopened Pub
The demonic tide has passed for a long time, and the Yafeng Town seems to have regained its former prosperity, but many faces are no longer the same as before.
If you ask the adventurers wandering the streets, where is the evidence of the town’s revival?
The answer is not in the rebuilt Adventurer's Guild Hall, nor in the new branch president who will arrive in two months. The answer is right here and now!
because,
Just today,
On this shining March night,
The Rotten Willow Tavern is reopening!
The adventurers, arm in arm, cheered loudly and rushed into the already crowded tavern, and could not wait to go to the front desk to order a glass of the bad wine they remembered.
If there was one person who was not infected by this cheerful atmosphere, it would probably be the owner of the Jinyangmu Tavern.
Today he was free enough to lean against the door of his own tavern with his arms folded, counting the heads of people rushing across the street with cold eyes.
In the Rotten Willow Tavern, even the windowsills were filled with people today.
Everything is the same as before.
The creaking wooden door when opened, the dirty wine-stained floor, and the sour smell of cheap wine in the air.
If there is any difference, it is probably that the boss has changed from a dirty, fat middle-aged man to a beautiful woman in seductive uniform.
This brings a different flavor to everyone.
I don't know what the guild was thinking, sending a delicate beauty to manage such a low-level tavern filled with vulgar adventurers.
No wonder they have to pair a 1.9-meter-tall tiger man as a hotel waiter...
At the bar, a woman named Mary was wearing a pure white priest robe with a stand-up collar that fitted her snow-white neck perfectly.
With a sweet smile on her face, she handed the wooden wine glass to a lecherous drinker in front of her, and then cleverly withdrew her hand in time to avoid being touched by the other party.
The drinker didn't seem to want to give up. He came up with his glass and said, "Madam, are you a priest of the God of Light? This uniform really suits you!"
"It's just my personal preference to dress this way." Mary replied with a smile, seemingly not noticing the frivolous meaning in the other person's words.
The drunkard seemed not satisfied with just talking nonsense, and stretched out his hairy hands towards Mary.
But halfway he was caught by a bigger hand with more hair than his.
"What are you going to do?"
The drunkard seemed to want to say a few more nonsense, but the tiger man was too lazy to talk to him. He grabbed his arm and dragged him out. He remained indifferent to his exaggerated screams along the way and soon threw him out - this was the 13th one tonight.
In a corner of the tavern, Norris was working hard on the grilled snake steak in front of him.
He arrived early enough to find an empty barrel to put his plate on.
He had been inexplicably lucky recently. The man dressed as a noble whom he met in the dungeon last time actually kept his promise and found him and gave him a gold coin.
Later he found out that the man was named Aidin and was a diamond-level adventurer.
The little bit of flesh that flows out from the fingertips of these strong men is a windfall for people like him.
This gold coin, plus the 1 gold and 20 silver coins I saved from mining, will help me pay off the third round of debts this year. I can even join in the fun occasionally and reward myself with a good meal instead of drinking mushroom soup every day.
Just as Norris was immersed in his own little happiness, an adventurer squeezed through the crowd and kicked over a wooden plate with half a plate of honey-grilled snake steaks.
The snake meat rolled onto the wooden floor covered with black footprints, and Norris seemed to hear the groaning of his stomach.
That was a delicacy that cost him 30 copper coins...
"Ah—it's so dirty!"
The adventurer who kicked over the plate pulled at his trouser legs in disgust, and rolled over the still steaming snake steak with the heel of his boot.
"You don't even know where to find a good place to eat shit."
The adventurer with the silver badge on his body left cursing, as if he had already let Norris off the hook by not beating him up so that his trouser legs were soiled.
Norris did not stand up to argue, nor did he even curse under his breath. He just shrank back timidly, not daring to look the people around him in the eye.
He was just a level 21 adventurer, the lowest level who had just crossed the bronze level threshold. He was alone and no one could afford to offend him.
It's better to be a coward than to be dragged into an alley and beaten half to death.
I should have known not to join in the fun at the Lanliu Tavern...
Some people nearby noticed this little farce, but they just burst into laughter mixed with the smell of tobacco.
Adventurers believe in strength and courage, and no one will stand up for a bronze-level coward.
Apart from……
"Stop!" Fei Ling blocked the silver-level adventurer's path, her slender fingers almost poking his nose, "You want to leave after you broke someone's things? Don't you even want an apology or compensation?"
Behind her was Feiyin, who failed to hold her, and Vera, who looked helpless.
"Get out of the way!" The adventurer suddenly opened Feiling's hand. He glanced at the girl who was a head shorter than him and reached out to push her away.
Shining——
Even in such a crowded environment, Vera's scimitar still accurately rested on the adventurer's palm. If he had pushed forward a little more, his palm would have been pierced through - there are differences in strength between silver-level and silver-level.
"What...what are you doing? This is a tavern!"
The adventurer was a little panicked because he was not as strong as his opponent and was being pointed at with a knife.
Although this is a city, the taverns are full of fools who don't care about their lives when their heads are hot. He doesn't want to gamble.
"I'll pay for it, I'll pay for it! Don't point the knife at me!"
The adventurer took two steps back, turned around, and planned to remember the guy who had embarrassed him.
He didn't dare to retaliate against Vera, who was stronger than him, but he could use that wimp who didn't dare to say a word when he kicked the plate over as a punching bag.
But when he turned around, he found that the person who was originally beside the wooden barrel had already left, leaving only half a piece of crushed snake meat on the ground.
A tall figure pushed through the crowd and stood in front of the four people who had caused the trouble.
Feiyin, who has a sensitive nose, even smelled a hint of the unique body odor of cats.
The tiger man folded his arms and looked at the four people, then tilted his head towards the gate.
The meaning is very clear: do you want to get out by yourself or do you want him to help you get out?
"Bad luck!" The adventurer who was driven out cursed under his breath and quickly walked away from Vera and the other two.
"You're a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong!" Fei Ling glared at the adventurer's back, looking like she was still angry.
Vera just sighed. He had just ordered the specialty dish, the sauced noodles, and before he could even take a bite, he was kicked out...
"Let's find another place to eat. I'm still hungry."
The three of them quickly found a restaurant that was still open, but after they sat down, they discovered that there was a guy sitting at the next table with his head down, sipping fluorescent mushroom soup.
"It's you!"
Fei Ling immediately recognized the guy whom she had taken the initiative to help but escaped first.
Norris, who was talking in a gloomy voice, subconsciously shrank his neck and glanced around in panic, although he didn't know what he was afraid of.
Maybe the aura of the girl in front of me is too strong...
