Mysteries: Arcana Wars

Chapter 173 Earthworm Island

Backlund is 669 meters underground.

Dungeon Night Harbor.

The layout of Evernight Harbor was not much different from three hundred years ago. Everyone followed Leonard and soon arrived at a bar. A shabby piece of metal hung on the door, with a few words engraved on it.

【Earthworm Island】

Pushing the door open, I saw a group of drunk people crowded around a few pitiful small tables in the cramped space. Most of them were wearing dusty coats, with bulging waist bags and vests full of ammunition, and a few of them unabashedly put large, gleaming pistols on their waists, expressing silent threats to others.

The noisy tavern suddenly became quiet, and all kinds of eyes looked Klein up and down.

Klein walked to an empty table and sat down without a care in his sight, while Leonard walked straight to the bar. Fors, who was following behind him, looked around carefully and quickly lowered his head to sit next to the adventurer.

Seeing a few unfamiliar faces sitting down, everyone in the tavern silently withdrew their gazes. There was a small discussion, and from time to time someone would turn their heads and glance at the strange people at the table, but no one acted rashly.

Leonard quickly returned from the bar and brought some food to the three people, as well as a bunch of keys.

The Earthworm Island Bar is not only the largest bar in Evernight Harbor, but also an inn where guests can stay. It has quite a few guest rooms and is the largest of the three inns.

In fact, the scale of these dungeons is not large. The deeper you go underground, the smaller the scale is. In other middle-level dungeons, it is rare to see more than one hotel, which can barely provide three or four rooms. Because of the special status of Evernight Harbor and its size for a middle-level dungeon, there are three hotels here. However, except for Earthworm Island, the other two hotels only have five or six rooms.

The food Leonard brought back was just that: some old sausages, some synthetic bacon and fries, three glasses of turbid wine, and the rest were some energy bars for the two of them as backup food for later. Klein saw the cash Leonard took out from a distance, and he knew that the food cost him at least 150 Rune gold pounds.

Today, the Ruen gold pound has long been decoupled from gold, and the so-called "gold pound" coins no longer contain gold. After the currency reform, the people of Ruen finally had a pleasant currency system where one Ruen gold pound was exchanged for one hundred Ruen pence, but the unit name "Ruen gold pound" was still retained as part of the new currency system.

Even though the purchasing power of the Rune gold pound was far lower than the level of the Fifth Epoch that Klein remembered, these 150 Rune gold pounds could still buy three people an endless holiday meal on earth.

The three of them ate in silence.

Comparing the food at other tables, Klein found that his own table seemed a bit extravagant. Most of the other tables in the bar had some beer and a few stacks of snacks whose ingredients were unclear, or a bowl of sliced ​​sausages to share among the table. Some people who looked better equipped would choose to order a few glasses of clearer wine.

It seems that food is still expensive in Evernight Harbor. Just like in the slums above ground, industrialized synthetic food is still the first choice, but energy bars here are more popular than in the slums and are also slightly more expensive.

Klein glanced at the bar and found that there were actually quite a variety of drinks on Earthworm Island, at least they filled the small wall behind the bartender. The prices of these things must be much more expensive than on the ground.

There are big shots who will consume these luxury goods here, and this Earthworm Island, or Eternal Night Port, has the ability to get these good things from the ground.

This pub is not simple.

His spiritual intuition told Klein that the drinkers had never stopped visiting him.

Klein also realized that the three of them seemed somewhat out of place in this hotel.

Although the three were covered in the dust of the underground, they were still dressed neatly and elegantly compared to the others. They could not carry too many weapons, and it was even more inconvenient for them to fight.

Klein, in particular, wore a neat and retro three-piece Loenn suit and even a classic top hat. It was rare to see someone wearing this outfit on a daily basis even in the world above.

In comparison, Klein and his two companions looked more like they were traveling.

People dressed like this who appear in the dungeon are either simple-minded idiots who ran away from home from the aboveground world, or stupid people who have just entered the industry and want to show off, or they are ruthless bosses deep in the dungeon.

Both sides were observing each other. Having survived in the chaotic dungeon until now, everyone knew that it was not a good idea to randomly test the enemy.

But this stalemate didn't feel right. Klein could sense that these people were not only observing his table, but were also being wary of the people at other tables.

Suddenly, Klein keenly sensed a different gaze. Unlike the others, this person's gaze was directly fixed on the pair of shoes on Leonard's feet.

This is the uniform shoe for Sivella Field.

The gaze was very cautious and he quickly turned away. Klein noticed that this was a man in his thirties or forties, with gray hair and a bright triangular scarf wrapped around his dusty face.

Leonard has appeared on TV a few times as a "cold-faced detective" and has a little bit of fame. The other party must have recognized that he was a cop, but I don't know if he recognized that he was the cold-faced detective.

Perhaps noticing the adventurer's warning, the man with the red bandana stood up, pulled the bandana up as a mask, and quickly left the tavern.

Leonard finished his meal in silence, then stood up suddenly without saying a word and walked towards the bar again. But not long after Leonard left, a man came with a glass of beer and sat in Leonard's seat without any sense of boundaries.

This man looked to be in his early twenties, with a messy head of golden hair like a bird's nest and a face that was ruddy from long-term alcoholism. He had just come in, ordered a pretty good beer from the bar, looked around, and sat down at the table.

"Hey, girl, first time in Evernight Harbor?"

Fors was a little overwhelmed. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation. But she thought about the silent teachings that the adventurer and the detective had given her along the way, and soon realized the importance of vigilance in the dungeon. So Fors glanced at the newcomer, then at the adventurer who hadn't spoken, then moved the chair away, held the suitcase in her arms, and continued to eat.

Seeing that he had gotten nothing in return, the man did not get angry. He turned around and raised his glass to Klein.

"I like your hat, man. My name is Sito, let's be friends! Drink this cup and we'll be good friends!"

...Why do your words sound so familiar...I feel like I've heard them somewhere in my previous life...

The adventurer was unmoved. Huangmao Xito didn't mind at all, and drank the wine in the glass smoothly, then took out a handful of technology and hard work whose ingredients were unknown from somewhere in his pocket, poured it into an empty plate on the table, and started eating.

It looked like an imitation of some kind of deep-fried chicken product, but Klein was unwilling to admit that it was a certain kind of chicken.

"Hey, man, look at the way you are dressed. Are you eloping from the earth? Or have you three gotten into a big trouble and are here to hide from the limelight?"

As he spoke, the yellow-haired Sito moved closer, pointed at Leonard at the bar in the distance, and spoke in a low voice.

"Could it be that you guys have made a lot of money in the Sivellas field? Hey, I noticed that guy was wearing cop shoes! Don't tell me you guys really sneaked out from the cops' den? That would be too exciting!"

It seems that here, Leonard's cop habit has to be corrected harshly.
