Turning the corner of the intersection, Livia walked towards the street on the right.

Pub, pub, the first choice is definitely the pub. Another high-end hotel sounds expensive. I can't afford it with my current wealth...

Besides, the tavern was originally his goal. He wanted to see if he could take on some tasks in the tavern and make some money.

While walking, leading the horse, he looked left and right at the shops on both sides of the street, looking for a tavern.

According to what the passerby said, the pub should be a little to the right, um...

Found it.

Livia led the horse and stopped at the door of a place that looked like a hotel from the outside. It was called "Peso Tavern". Looking at the small sign next to the door, Livia nodded. At this time, a middle-aged man with a beard standing next to the door looked at him standing at the door with the horse and walked over.

"Does the guest need anything?"

"Hmm..." Livia shifted her gaze to him, "Stay in the hotel, is there a stable in the tavern where my horse can rest?"

The bearded man looked at the brown horse next to him, then pointed to the alley next to him and said, "There is a stable behind the tavern where your horse can rest and there will be someone to take care of it, but it will cost some extra money."

Livia nodded, stroked the horse's head and handed over the reins. With his keen hearing, he could hear the occasional chewing and stomping of horses' hooves at the back of the tavern.

"Well, help me take care of it."

The bearded man nodded, took the reins and led the horse towards the alley. Livia watched him lead the horse into the alley, his eyes returned to the wooden door of the tavern in front of him, he took two steps forward, pushed open the door, and a burst of noise and the smell of alcohol hit him in the face. Livia frowned, sniffed, and subconsciously blocked out some unpleasant smells.

He pushed the wooden door completely open and walked in, looking around the tavern with interest. The noisy people in the tavern noticed a stranger with two long swords hanging on his waist coming in, and subconsciously stopped talking and drinking to look at him. The originally noisy tavern suddenly became quiet, with only the crisp footsteps of Livia walking on the wooden floor of the tavern.

"Sir, what do you need?"

The tavern owner standing behind the counter asked him nonchalantly while wiping his wine glass. The tavern owner looked very tall and strong, and his height was estimated to be around 1.85 meters.

Livia walked to the counter, "Have something to eat and a glass of ale."

"Um."

The tavern owner nodded and turned to ask the waiter next to him to prepare food and wine.

The people in the tavern saw that the man dressed as a bounty hunter with two swords was not here to cause trouble and resumed their conversation and drinking, but they would glance at him from time to time. After all, there were very few adventurers or bounty hunters in Songkani.

"Boss, I want to ask you something."

Livia unbuttoned her coat. The atmosphere and temperature in the tavern were a little stuffy. She sat on the chair in front of the counter, put her arms on the counter and spoke to the tavern owner.

“…

What does the guest want to know? "

Hearing this, the tavern owner slowly stopped what he was doing, put the empty wine glass he was wiping on the counter, and looked at Livia with his eyes slightly narrowed.

"Do you have any missions to take?

The kind that suits me.”

Livia leaned forward slightly, looked at the tavern owner seriously and spoke softly.

"Task?"

The tavern owner's tone was a little doubtful, as if he was asking him a question back.

"Reward, hiring, similar work."

"..." The tavern owner was silent for a moment, then looked at him suspiciously, "No."

"Well, no?"

Rivia was a little stunned. That wasn't right. Logically, quests were usually accepted through notices or from the tavern owner. That was also the way quests were accepted in the game. Geralt accepted quests and inquired about things in the tavern in the beginning.

"Um."

The tavern owner nodded nonchalantly and picked up the glass to wipe it again. "This is your first time in Songkani, right? Local people know that there have been basically no bounties or missions in Songkani in the past few years."

“This is indeed my first time here…

But why is this? "

Livia frowned and asked in confusion.

"Didn't you meet those lord knights?"

The tavern owner wiped the wine glass in his hand, bent sideways and put it on the counter, then stood up and looked at him calmly.

“…

Encountered. "

Livia began to wonder, was it because of those knights?

He remembered that he was stopped and questioned by the knights as soon as he approached the vicinity of Songkani, and he understood what the tavern owner wanted to say.

The reason why the tavern in the game can accept quests is because the surrounding is very chaotic, so some people offer rewards and issue quests. However, there are basically no monsters or dangers around Songkani now. At least after he left Cohen Grassland, he didn't see any monsters along the way, not even a prying look.

So…

Songkani, no mission?

Livia's face was a little stiff. At this rate, how long would his money last? He felt a little regretful. He should not have asked Deron for more money. It was better to owe favors to others than to be poor.

The tavern owner has been doing business for so many years and has seen all kinds of people. His ability to read people's expressions has long been perfected. Seeing the man in front of him who looked like a bounty hunter with an unpleasant expression, he leaned against the counter with his arms crossed and looked at Livia and said, "In the past few years, there were caravans that would come to me to post tasks to hire people, but now there are none. After all, the caravans of nobles and big merchants basically have no shortage of manpower and strength unless something unexpected happens.

Small caravans basically cannot make any money in today's monster-infested world. After all, with more monsters on the road, more people need to be hired. After a trip, there is basically not much left after paying the hiring money. There is no profit at all. Over time, all the small caravan merchants I know have changed their careers.

I also lost some income from agency fees because of this.”

Livia nodded. In this case...

really……

Just as he was thinking, the waiter who had left earlier came back with a large wooden tray. The tavern owner took the tray from the waiter and placed it on the counter in front of Livia. "The food and wine you ordered are 14 longding in total."

A small dish of lentil soup, a few sausages, two slices of bacon, and a glass of lighter-looking ale.

This was the food and wine that lay before Livia.

14 Longding...

In this case, the money I have is probably enough for me to eat for half a month, but in fact my body does not need to eat every day...

Livia calculated silently in his mind, took out fourteen copper coins from his waist and put them on the counter. The tavern owner waved his hand and held the copper coins in his palm and put them in the leather bag sewn on his abdomen, making a crisp sound.
