Chapter 39 39. Movements in Arethusa

"Man, get me a room, I have to stay here for a day."

"Okay sir, one Oren, we will also give you a dinner and a breakfast."

". Oren? You have to pay in Oren for one night's stay here?!"

In front of the counter of Yinlu Tavern, a man wearing a hood and cloak seemed to be choked, and then tilted his head to confirm to the bartender that he heard correctly.

The bartender with a towel draped over his shoulders seemed to have seen a lot.

There was no waver in his tone.

"Sir, this is the Yinlu Tavern. We are the best in Goss Velen. We even have mages staying here on weekdays. You also know that no mages will leave broken coins in their wallets.

Only Oren."

The bartender couldn't see the upper half of the guest's face, but the twitching at the corners of his mouth was obvious.

"Oh~" A meaningful drawl sounded in Lan En's mind, "We are hosting the Master. Sir, this asking price is really normal! How about we find another hotel?"

But the next moment, the two businessmen chatted while the cards were being shuffled, which cheered up the young man again from the frustration of the gap between the rich and the poor.

A glass of beer, fresh fried sea fish, seasoned mashed potatoes, oyster mushroom cream soup, and a large piece of bread as the staple food.

"A shame?" The high-pitched voice was slightly surprised, "Is this worthy of sealing off the academy? There are quite a few mages in their academy who have scrapped their own skills due to magic accidents, right?"

I heard that honey is added three times during the fermentation process before it leaves the wine cellar.

It's just that their voices were deeper.

But the problem isn’t that it can’t be done!

When Lan En pressed the golden Oren coin on the counter, the bartender saw that his knuckles were turning white from the force.

The shrill voice said: "How is your vegetable business? Aretusa is closed. I remember supplying them every day. I am the biggest player in your business."

Lan En knew that the Yinlu Tavern had purchased a new batch of wine, which was produced in the Sowden area and was called Sowden Mountain Triple Mead.

The dinner at Yinlu Tavern was indeed worthy of his reputation in Gos Velen.

Lan En quickly took his dinner plate from the bartender's hand and walked to the table in the tavern hall without saying a word.

"Mentos, shut up!"

All that's left is small talk.

The expectant merchant also took a sip.

"You also know what kind of person this president of Aretusa is. She cares about her students, so she went out to find someone in person, but after this search, she didn't even hear from the principal! There is suspicion in the college that someone is targeting her.

The college, then the college was closed."

It’s written like this in novels, isn’t the tavern well-informed?

But what Lan En didn't expect was that what was originally just a joke would actually yield some results.

"Don't believe it. Even if those sorceresses are in a closed academy, don't they still have to eat and poop? My vegetables and fruits are still sent in, but they can no longer bid based on market fluctuations like before."

I want to change too, but... do you think I'm the kind of fierce person who turns around and leaves after washing his hair at the barber shop when he hears he's not satisfied with the price?!

Damn! My damn pride!

Lan En, who was eating, suddenly took a big bite of bread.

Damn it, two big businessmen, the gambling capital of a game of cards is thirty oren?!

Xiao Qianqian's voice penetrated deeply into Lan En's bones!

Mentos is still acting weird.

This matter really had little to do with him. It was just that the young man wanted to collect more information out of a lingering sense of crisis in his heart.

Regardless of whether it was real honey or just sugar to top up the price, Lan En took out an Oren without blinking this time.

While he chewed slowly, he listened to the entire conversation in the tavern with his ears.

This city is the trade distribution center of the entire Willen and is also the largest consumer market.

"That Lady Margarita? That's one of the most powerful warlocks in the world!"

The yellow beer flowed all over the table.

"It's different this time!" The businessman with the spitting voice lowered his voice while dealing cards, but this measure was of no use to Lan En.

Lan En was not dissatisfied with hearing only this part.

One voice was slightly shrill, and the other sounded like phlegm in the throat.

To be honest, Lan En also wants to be a wizard, otherwise the sigil auxiliary function would not be developed so smoothly.

"Then you know." The tone of the high-pitched voice was a little tentative, "That's why Aretuza closed the academy?"

When Lan En heard this, his arm seemed to accidentally knock over his beer glass.

"Who says it's not the case? Otherwise, how could Aretuza make such a big move?"

"But it's not without its benefits. The prices of vegetables and fruits are highly volatile. Now I can't sell the expensive things in the market at a high price, but I can sell the cheap things at the same price as before. Generally speaking, the fluctuations should be stable."

It seemed like there was a card game in the middle, because Lan En heard the sound of many cardboard pieces being placed on the table.

Finally, I got to experience the local food culture.

The businessman who was coughing up phlegm took a sip of wine to soothe his throat and continued.

It's like nothing happened.

But the conversation was not fruitless.

He cursed quietly under his breath, and then sat down on the table behind him with the dinner plate in hand.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of coins sliding on the solid wood table could be heard.

"Then you promise not to sing again on the road!!!"

A spitting voice: "Okay, okay, who knew you would put so many weather cards in your hand?"

It naturally brings together Willen's various agricultural products and recipes.

Mentos has been dissatisfied with the profession of demon hunter for a long time, and whenever he has nothing to do, he gets angry at the Master, who is also from the extraordinary system.

The businessman with a shrill voice smiled and said nothing.

Who doesn't want to face thousands of enemy troops, flick their fingers, and then clear the battlefield without even a speck of mud on their clothes?

It is very normal for melee professions to wallow in the mud.

A businessman who relies on the college for a living is drinking and playing cards right now. He has nothing to do with the college, so why should he worry about it?

On the table behind Lan En, two well-dressed businessmen were sitting opposite each other, each holding a glass of wine.

The conversation ended abruptly here.

It was the best meal Lan En had ever had since he came to this world.

It’s just a strange yin and yang, you can bear it!

"The principal is gone?!" The high-pitched voice was so surprised that he even had to raise his glass and pretend to drink to cover his open mouth.

Perhaps because of Lan En's table change, the two businessmen were really focused on the card table.

The conversation ends here.

A high-pitched voice: "Aha! As soon as I play this rain card, your pile of siege equipment will just fall down, and you will only have seven points left!"

Lan En gritted his teeth.

The two businessmen glanced at him warily, but seeing that the seats were not close together, they probably couldn't hear anything, so they didn't say anything.

"Hey, look at you, we feel sorry for you, then we can find another one."

Vomiting voice: "Yes, yes, those sorceresses can eat precious exotic fruits as snacks, don't you make money from them? But to be honest, the impact of the closure of Arethusa College on my business is not that big

Horrible, why don’t I still play cards with you here?”

"I heard that someone was missing in the academy."

I filled my two water bottles, and I also had an extra cup ready to be taken to the guest room upstairs.
