"Wuhu!" Jian Yi kept walking between tall buildings with his grappling hook gun, and then stopped in front of a church-like building.
At night, on the street in front of the church, a building still has lights on, and you can vaguely see a vague pattern on the sign: a glass of sparkling beer.
Below the pattern, there is a line of promotional slogans, and directly above is the signboard of the tavern: Zweig Tavern.
Jian Yi touched his chin and said to himself: "Finally found it..."
Yes, his destination was exactly this tavern. To be precise, it was not just a tavern.
The current situation is favorable to him, but not very favorable, because he does not know the specific settings of this worldview, such as money, prices, systems, organizations... etc., nor does he understand the so-called
In what way does the Holy See display their so-called "miracles"?
If you don't even understand these, it's even more impossible to accept side quests.
But the tavern can meet his needs.
In the medieval environment, this kind of place was like an inn in ancient martial arts novels. People from the middle and lower classes from all walks of life often came in and out. They were well-informed and cheap. They could just bring the unknown news that Jian Jian needed. In addition,
It's very easy to fool them...
It is almost the best place to collect news and intelligence.
He touched his pocket, took out three silver coins issued by the system, and slowly walked into the tavern.
Although I don’t know much about prices and values in this worldview, judging from the magnificence of the architecture, three silver coins are basically enough to satisfy the consumption of a glass of beer.
Pushing open the closed wooden door, he walked slowly into the tavern. The temperature of the fire quickly warmed his body. In just a few seconds, his physical strength recovered visibly by 2%.
It was already late at night, but the tavern was still busy with business. Many people dressed in medieval workers' clothing gathered around the wooden tables, drinking cheap beer and chatting with their colleagues.
"Mrs. Boss, a glass of beer." He glanced at the price list briefly and found that the prices here were not only within the range of his estimate, but also surprisingly cheap.
A cup of beer only costs 2 copper coins...
After briefly looking at the silver coin in his hand, the system immediately displayed a line of text description.
[Name: Silver Coin]
[Type: Other]
[Quality: Ordinary]
[Explanation: One of the currencies distributed by the Holy See. After meteorites brought a large amount of metal resources and mineral resources, gold and silver were no longer precious and became a kind of ordinary currency. It has a gorgeous appearance and is engraved with the head of Cardinal Bocher.
Generally used for transactions.】
[Note: The exchange rate for gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins is 100:10:1.]
[Can the script be brought out: No]
[Note: Money is not everything, but nothing is impossible without money!]
"So the value of this thing is actually not high..." Jian Yan looked at the introduction and then placed a silver coin on the table.
A few seconds later, a woman came out from behind the bar. She was not too tall and had a normal build. It could be seen from her facial wrinkles that she was between thirty and thirty-five years old. But in this world view,
It is not necessarily true that an overworked woman is actually younger.
Wearing a red and white textured apron, she walked out of the kitchen with a smile on her face, but the moment she saw Jian Jian, her expression immediately froze, and she even subconsciously took two steps back.
"Hello, you..." The proprietress stood in front of the counter with evasive eyes and carefully handed over a glass of beer, "You don't need to pay for this beer..."
"Huh?" Jian Yi frowned, not understanding what she was talking about.
fear?
Was the emotion she expressed actually fear...
Appearance, expression...
Jian Yi suddenly understood something, and he turned his attention to the black formal suit he was wearing - exactly the same as the secret guard who had previously found Shanghai Wuya.
The landlady was not afraid of him, but of the Pope's secret guards.
Wait...Jian Yi found a blind spot.
So...even ordinary citizens know what the secret guards wear?
Then this is not a "secret guard", why not just call him a killer?!
And looking at the frightened look in the landlady's eyes, it's obvious that these so-called secret guards are not eating and drinking for free.
"this……"
In order to better inquire about the information, although the other party clearly stated that there was no need to pay, Jian Jian still said with a serious expression: "Transactions have always been exchanges of equal value, how can there be no reason to eat and drink for free? These two copper coins... I still have to
Pay you."
Hearing this, the landlady looked a little surprised. She had opened a beer hall here for five years and had never seen a secret guard pay according to the price list. She didn't know what to do at the moment, so she just stared blankly at the silver coins in front of her.
, as if he didn’t hear the simple words.
Jian Yi shrugged, left the silver coin, and walked to the wine table at the back with the glass of beer: "The remaining copper coins will be treated as tips, you don't need to change."
Although he only had three silver coins in total, he would need to ask the store for some detailed information later, so this effort... was still necessary.
I looked at the wall clock on the top and saw that it was already around eleven o'clock in the evening. It was supposed to be time for rest, but the noise in the tavern still did not stop. There were discussions and curses one after another, just like a busy city, everyone had their own things to do.
"Hey, have you heard? Little Jimmy fell off the steel frame at the Manchester City Steel Plant the day before yesterday!"
"Ah? Did it fall?" The young man wearing a deerstalker hat on the side took a sip of beer and immediately responded, "The factory will have to pay a lot of money!"
"Allocation of money? Or you are too ignorant!" The worker sneered, "How can we compensate those vampires?! Suppress the matter and prohibit everyone in the factory from discussing it. Violators will be fired immediately! Poor little boy
Jimmy, both his parents died, leaving only a younger sister who was not even five years old. After this death, there was no one to collect the body..."
As he said that, he sighed: "Even if there is no one to take care of his sister, I'm afraid the people from the Vatican won't care either. In the end..."
Before he could finish speaking, the audience members who had gathered around him hurriedly moved away, as if they had drawn a clear line with him. For a moment, the noisy beer hall became as quiet as a pool of stagnant water, with no one speaking.
The worker felt a chill on his back, and then turned around cautiously, just in time to see Jian Jian looking around with a beer in his hand.
"Keep talking, why don't you talk anymore?" Jian Yi found a seat and sat down, holding his chin with one hand, "I heard it was quite interesting."
As soon as these words came out, after a few seconds of silence, the drinkers in the beer hall quickly ran away, leaving only the worker alone, staring blankly at the simple scene in front of him, without saying a word.
