Walker hung his head in a somewhat disappointed manner.

Just as Fred was about to comfort him, the hotel proprietress continued: "However, the gentleman went to the tavern over there after paying the money..."

Walker rushed out of the door without saying a word.

*

The name of the pub is 'The Green'.

It is very famous in the town on the edge of Artemis Forest and is very lively at night.

Although this place is at the foot of the royal capital, it is not within the imperial city and does not have many regulations.

The tavern was filled with many merchants and freelance hunters who had just finished their day's mission. It was crowded, chaotic, and mixed with good and bad.

Here they would gossip about the secrets of the royal family, inquire about information, and smuggle various transactions.

Walker found Shen Ning next to the bar of the pub.

His long, fair and slender hands, which were as clear as works of art, held an ordinary glass cup, put it to his lips, and took a careful sip of the transparent liquid in the cup.

Walker had the illusion that he drank a glass of ordinary water into red wine at a high-end banquet, which was incompatible with the dim and chaotic tavern.

Walker also felt a little thirsty, so he asked the bartender to give him the same drink as Shen Ning.

The bartender looked at him uncertainly, and then asked in a strange tone: "Are you sure you are the same as him?"

Walker didn't pay attention and said casually: "Yes, the same."

Soon the bartender brought him a drink.

Walker hesitated for a moment, then summoned up the courage to ask: "Well, how are you thinking about it?"

Shen Ning saw that he didn't seem to be joking, so she thought for a moment and said to him with a gentle smile, "Just finish the wine in your hand."

liquor? Isn't this just a glass of boiled water?

Walker thought doubtfully in his heart.

But if the price is as simple as drinking a glass of water, he will definitely not hesitate...

After Walker drank it all, he frowned slightly. There was no special taste, it was just sweeter than water, and he felt warm in his stomach after drinking it.

"Master, I've finished drinking!" He said happily to Shen Ning.

But the next second, he was brought back to reality by the bartender's words: "Sir, a glass of 'God's Kiss' costs two gold coins in total. Cash or credit?"

He heard it right, it was gold coins, or two.

"Credit, credit..." I don't know if it was because I just learned that I drank two pieces of 'gold', so my hands were shaking so much that I stuttered a bit when I spoke.

"Together." Shen Ning took out a money bag and placed it on the bar.

Walker was so moved that he almost cried: "Master! I will definitely pay back all the money I owe you in the future..."

"But, Master, why do I feel that you have become two, no, five..."

'Bang -' Walker persisted for less than a minute before he completely collapsed on the bar.

Shen Ning seemed to have known for a long time that he would fall unconscious and drunk.

He said to the bartender: "Please ask someone to send him to a hotel room. The extra money is here."

The bartender weighed the money bag in his hand, already fully aware of its weight.

This person who entered his tavern for the first time and was able to take out so many gold coins at once must not be underestimated.

He nodded slightly to the man in front of him and said, "Okay sir."

Shen Ning himself left the tavern first.

……

Before, he saw a carriage on the street, parked in an unattractive dark alley. Several knights in armor got out of the carriage and skillfully grabbed a beggar into the carriage.

The beggar struggled desperately, but he was weak and had no power to resist under the tall and powerful knight. Shen Ning felt that the little beggar looked familiar. After the carriage left, he walked over and found a rag money bag that fell from the little beggar.

There were two gold coins inside.

Although he was not sure, it was difficult for ordinary beggars to beg such a huge sum of money.

It seems that someone deliberately captured the homeless beggars, rather than disappearing suddenly.

Shen Ning walked into the crowded tavern, ordered a glass of wine, and sat inside for a while.

It is not difficult at all to get information here. As long as you are willing to pay, some people are even willing to risk their lives to enter the palace to help you find out the secrets of the tyrant.

Shen Ning didn't want to hear what secrets she had.

He only spent two gold coins on a glass of the most expensive liquor in the tavern, the Kiss of the Gods, and by the way got a secret from the bartender about the recently missing beggar.

Those people would imprison the captured beggars on the cargo ship at the port. I heard that the cargo ship would sail to Poseidon Island, but within a few days, they would be sent back by the ship returning to the port. Those people seemed to have lost their souls. After seeing them for a few days, they were already a cold corpse on the street.

And even if someone questioned the death of those beggars, the news would be suppressed the next day, because all those who died were beggars, and no one mentioned it again. Everyone turned a deaf ear to it, and everyone was afraid of getting burned.

Shen Ning stood on a towering cliff, with a pitch-black endless abyss beneath his feet, looking into the distance.

On one side is the bustling, noisy, splendid royal city, the seemingly glitzy world, but under the dark night, sin is hidden...

On one side is the brightly lit Royal Port, with several ships sailing towards the unknown island in the distance under the cover of night...

The next day, Walker woke up from a night of hangover.

It was already bright outside, and he was no longer in the tavern last night.

"Master..."

His mind was empty, and when he thought of that person, he sat up in shock.

Judging from the surrounding environment, Master should have sent him to the hotel room last night, but Master disappeared again.

No, he had to find someone.

Thinking this, Walker jumped out of bed, but his feet were light and numb, and he almost fell...

Holding on to the wall, he managed to stagger to the door, but the door opened on its own.

Shen Ning was standing outside the door.

He put on an elegant gentleman's black robe and wore a low-key black wide-brimmed hat on his head.

It seemed that he had just come back from going out. There was still some food in the paper bag in his left hand.

'Gulu...'

Walker smelled the rich aroma of cheese bread, and his stomach growled.

Shen Ning gave him the food in her hand.

Still smiling elegantly, she asked him: "Can I go in?"

"Of course!" Walker turned around sheepishly and gave up his place to enter.

The cheese and wheat bread in my hand smells so good!

Walker couldn't help but sniff.

He had seen it in the windows of those bakeries before, and he could smell the milky aroma wafting from them as he passed by.

However, in the past, the cheapest bag of bread, which I despised in my own world, cost ten silver coins.

Shen Ning took off his hat in the room. When Walker was still hesitating at the door, he nodded slightly and said

"Eat, I bought you breakfast."
