Quadruple split

As mentioned before, although Jadeka has never returned to the Cassero Grassland a few times in his life, his main scope of activities is still concentrated in the northwest continent. After so many years, except for Tianzhu Mountain, the old man has Obviously, his knowledge of this area is better than most people. It is true that due to the limitations of his strength, he was only a junior mage back then and had never set foot in the Ember Valley, the Borderlands and the southern part of the Wild Fang Wilderness, nor had he personally visited a desolate area. Savage Highlands, but other than that, he has basically left footprints in all places on the northwest continent.

As for this popular 'Gold Triangle', Jadeka has been here countless times. Even though he has never been here again after working with Mo Tan and others, he is still familiar with the surrounding environment. If you know the palm of your hand, you can even know such obscure information as there is a store not far away.

"But then again."

Lu Jiang looked back with some curiosity at the mercenary station not far away that had not left the sight of a few people, and wondered: "If there is a store not far away, why are those people sleeping outside? It's because they want to have a picnic. ?"

Jadeka shrugged and said with a smile: "Is it possible that the mercenary group has too many people to stay in the hotel, and even if they can stay, they are not willing to pay a large sum of money for accommodation?"

Lu Jiang blinked twice: "Ah this..."

"Hehe, the world outside is different from that in Tianzhu Mountain."

Ji Xiaoge, who had accumulated a lot of adventure experience with Mo Tan and others, grinned, patted Lu Jiang on the shoulder as if he were an old man, and said with a smile: "The world of innocence is not something that only takes a few hours. A place where you can pick a place to stay with just a few clicks and pack a lot of delicious food into your luggage with a few right clicks. Here, it is very likely that you have worked hard for a day, but the reward is not enough to go to a hotel. Just for one night’s sleep.”

Lu Jiang was shocked at that time and said in astonishment: "Is it so exaggerated!?"

"It's not that exaggerated."

Mo Tan on the side shook his head and said with a smile: "Although it is indeed not as easy as a normal game, doing missions for a whole day is not enough to stay overnight. Of course, people rarely squander mission rewards. After all, For a normal adventurer team, supply work and equipment maintenance and updating are the most important things, not to mention a much larger mercenary group."

Ya Ya also nodded vigorously and said to Lu Jiang in a serious manner: "After grandpa barked, but before meeting Mo Wang! He spent the night barking under the bridge or in the grass! He only barked for one meal every day!"

"Is this... so difficult..."

Lujiang swallowed nervously and asked curiously: "Then should we sleep outside too? If you want to hunt, I can also help! Druid is very professional in this area!"

Ji Xiaoge said "Hey" and asked doubtfully: "Don't druids respect nature? How come you are so professional in hunting? Is it because you are a player?"

"Well, that shouldn't be the case."

Lu Jiang shook his head and shrugged: "Although the Druid cares about nature as Sister Yege said, the ecological cycle is also a part of nature, so it does not protect animals or woodlands indiscriminately. Generally speaking, Next, druids will take the initiative to intervene in nature, usually when natural or man-made disasters occur."

Only then did the winged beautiful girl suddenly realize: "That's it! It's not about blindly protecting nature!"

"Hehe, actually I also saw it from the classics given by Mr. Hao."

Lujiang scratched his hair in embarrassment and smiled with a red face: "I ran to Tianzhu Mountain not long after entering the trap, and I haven't met any other druids. These are just from books. What I saw online is that I am learning and selling now.”

One thing to say, this guy's shy and small face with a red face is really endearing. Even if he is placed next to Ji Xiaoge, who is in the state of [leaving the world and being independent], he is not inferior. Several adventurers walking next to him The young man's eyes widened.

But he is a man!

"We don't have to be too deliberate about sleeping in the open."

Mo Tan took two steps sideways as if inadvertently, standing between his Wangwang team and another energetic team, blocking most of Lujiang and Ji Xiaoge's bodies, and said in a brisk tone: "Although I am sure It's not upper-class, but the level of our team is actually not bad. Lao Jia, Yaya, and I are all at high-level. Although Ye Ge, a field engineer, has poor physical fitness, he is a reassuring rear guard. And he is also an all-rounder, a tyrant... Putting aside his personality, his overall strength is actually not much worse than mine, and now that you are added to the team, the level of our team is actually above average."

Lujiang suddenly blinked his eyes and said excitedly: "Wow! Is he so powerful!"

"Awesomeness doesn't count, but as long as you don't be too lazy, you will definitely be able to maintain a moderately prosperous level."

Jadeka shook his head and said happily: "We have a lot of savings in our hands, and since we went to Academy City not long ago, it seems that we have been in a state of being provided with food and accommodation, so we haven't spent much..."

"Ahem!"

As a result, at this moment, Ji Xiaoge coughed slightly in embarrassment, raised his little hand and whispered: "I went shopping with my friends before, and I was a little excited and kept rushing to check out, and I accidentally spent almost all the money. "

[You deserve it. There is an entire Shuguang Sect behind Her Majesty the Saint. It doesn’t make sense for you to spend as much as others. Tianzhu Mountain’s rank is high, but Master Lu Wei doesn’t seem like the kind of person who will pay for it. People who use gold coins as pocket money...]

Mo Tan, who was fully aware of the whole ins and outs of the entire financial ruin incident, silently complained in his heart.

Lao Jia smiled kindly and said cheerfully: "It's okay, just with the spicy rice noodles you gave me, little pigeon, I can support you for two lifetimes."

As a result, Yaya immediately raised his little hand, and while wagging his tail, he said very proudly: "I saw so many wonderful dogs when I was walking around! I don't have much money spent anymore!"

"Go, go, go, you can support me."

The old mage, who had almost nothing to spend money on except buying some fitness equipment (two-handed hammer, two-handed axe, door panel broadsword), nodded again and took all the orders.

After that, the group of people walked forward laughing and joking for about a quarter of an hour, and then they saw the store Jadeka mentioned.

It is a three-story mixed-wood building that covers an area of ​​about 200 square meters and is brightly lit. Although there is no signboard, the business is extremely prosperous. Not only is the lobby on the first floor full of people, but there are seven or eight tables outside. The guests exchange cups and cups, it’s so lively.

"Haha, in the Gold Rush Triangle, there are about 17 or 18 such "deserted shops" in total. They are jointly controlled by the Gold Coin Merchant Association, the Steam Consortium, the Adventurers Association, the Archaeologists Association and the Wanderer Hotel to provide food and accommodation for travelers. Small stronghold.”

Jadeka chuckled, turned around and introduced to a few people as he walked: "Although the Gold Rush Triangle is far less chaotic than places like Borderland and Free City, it is not a peaceful place. Most people can't make money by opening a shop here. Regardless of money, life and death are two different things. Therefore, it was initiated by the Adventurers Association hundreds of years ago. On the front line of Wanderer Inn, two major players, the Gold Coin Merchant Association and the Steam Consortium, were established to establish these stores called [Desolate Stores]. Later, in view of the increasing number of people exploring Undershell in the east, they also roped in the Archaeologists Association and asked them to station experts here to provide services such as valuation of old objects.”

Ji Xiaoge flapped her wings restlessly while sighing: "It seems to be super big!"

"Eating, accommodation, information transactions, item identification, deposits and withdrawals, issuing commissions, and undertaking tasks can all be done here."

Jadeka stood still and waved to the half-orc man from the Fox clan dressed as a waiter not far away, while smiling at everyone: "Although the price is not approachable, it is better because of its comprehensive functions, and in this kind of In this place, no one cares whether the sauced meat on the table is a few gold coins more expensive than the market price."

Ya Ya, who really didn't care about the gold coins, squatted feebly between Jadeka and Mo Tan. He had just eaten not long ago, but he still muttered because of the fragrance floating around: "Wang is hungry! Wang wants to eat." So woofy!”

"Guests, welcome to [Huangdian·Eighth Branch]."

The half-orc from the Fox tribe who quickly walked up to several people smiled respectfully, bowed to everyone, and asked politely: "May I ask what your plans are..."

"We want to eat something. If there's no room inside, we can sit outside."

Jadeka, who was half a host for the time being, took a step forward and said pleasantly: "Then I want three more rooms, all for one night only."

The fox clan waiter nodded, and then said with a troubled expression: "Well, sir, if you want to eat, there will definitely be no problem with us, but accommodation... What a coincidence, there are no extra rooms now."

Jadeka was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly slapped his head and said suddenly: "Oh, I just remembered that these two months are the days when the mushroom pigs come out to the Manya Wilderness, and there must be a lot of people. If there are not these...three rooms, how many rooms are left?"

The young waiter smiled bitterly and shook his head, and said helplessly: "I'm really sorry, sir, we are in the same room now..."

"have!"

As a result, at this moment, a low-volume but powerful voice suddenly sounded nearby. Mo Tan and others turned around and found that a middle-aged goblin with a big belly had appeared next to him. He was struggling a little. He held his big beer belly and saluted to himself.

The waiter was also stunned when he discovered the other party, and whispered: "Supervisor?"

"Well, you go and work inside."

The goblin man called the supervisor waved his hand and sent the waiter away. He immediately smiled warmly at everyone and bowed deeply again: "Welcome, welcome to [Huangdian·Eighth Branch] 】, Dear ladies and gentlemen, I am Harold, the supervisor here, and I am very happy to have this honor to receive you."

Everyone was stunned. Although they didn't know what the so-called 'supervisor' specifically meant and what they were in charge of, everyone was not stupid, no matter from the appearance of the middle-aged goblin in front of them. Judging from his temperament, and based on the analysis of the waiter's attitude towards him just now, Mr. Harold is not a small person.

In fact, several people guessed correctly that this plump goblin supervisor was officially the top person in charge of this [Desolate Store·Eighth Branch].

After a few seconds, seeing that no one came forward to negotiate, Mo Tan, who didn't want to embarrass the other party, had to take a step forward and saluted the goblin in front of him: "Hello, Mr. Harold, we are The members of the Wangwang adventurer team are planning to order something to eat. If there are any empty tables outside..."

Director Goblin immediately nodded his head and clapped his hands and said, "Yes! You can have it anywhere, not just outside. If you are willing, there happens to be a free box on the top floor that is suitable for watching the moon."

"this……"

Mo Tan's expression was a little complicated, but in the end he shook his head and sighed, and asked directly: "In that case, do we happen to have three vacant rooms here?"

"Hey, look what you said."

Harold chuckled, his shrewd green eyes quickly swept past everyone, and said in a brisk tone: "No more, no less, our No. 8 store has just vacated six rooms. If you are not in a hurry, today How about you stay here with us for the night, have a good night's rest, eat and drink enough, and then hit the road tomorrow morning?"

"Six rooms?"

Mo Tan turned around and saw, okay, it's not just him, Jadeka, Ji Xiaoge, Lujiang and Yaya who dare to love each other, this supervisor even includes Wang Badan.

After a brief silence...

"What is that, Mr. Harold?"

Mo Tan put on an attitude of being honest and not telling secrets, and said sternly: "Your enthusiasm... is really too obvious."

In the end, Harold laughed, winked at Mo Tan, and said happily: "Although we can also quietly provide you with convenience, but I think it is so attentive that sometimes it is better to be more straightforward. Well, at least it can give people a more profound impression, what do you think?"

"I think it makes sense."

Mo Tan nodded slightly, and then asked: "So why are you doing this..."

"To tell you the truth, although the name Paw Team is familiar to us, Mr. Jadka Diesel's name has been heard here for a long time. I think you are planning to go north. If you have the chance to meet Darry Mr. An, please take care of it for us."

Harold first bowed his hand respectfully to Jadeka, and then turned his attention to Mo Tan: "As for you, little brother... I heard that in the team battle of Academy City's fighting competition some time ago, Diesel represented Team The reason why we were able to achieve the final victory was because of a half-dragon knight with a giant turtle mount, who must be the one in front of me, right?"

"It would be a pity if you don't join Yunyouzhe Hotel to open a store."

"It's not a pity, it's not a pity. Although I am a goblin, I am not from the Gold Coin Merchant Guild. To be honest, I was transferred here from the hotel headquarters to gain experience."

"Okay, then let's set up a table outside and order some signature dishes. Three of them are enough for the room, if it's not too much trouble."

"Okay~ Come here~"
