The girl took a moment to look at the scene in the bar, wanting to see what everyone was drinking.
Most people eat ordinary bread, drink vegetable soup, and add a few slices of sliced kielbasa, and that's tonight's dinner.
Compared with what she had seen in Hopeland, the price of food here was cheaper, an ordinary dinner cost about 20 copper coins.
Although the taste is average and there are no seasonings, these people after working don't care much. They will eat anything when they are hungry.
The cold outdoors can be said to be a natural refrigerator. After the ale has been cold for a long time, it will be the same as after it was moved indoors again.
As the bartender opened the faucet, there was a sound of clear liquid flowing. The transparent liquid rushed into the wooden cup with a slight aroma of wine, and was then placed on a tray and brought to each table.
This ice-cold thick ale is the biggest pastime for many people tonight. The refreshing feeling after drinking it makes the hard work of the day seem to be worth it.
"Give me one too." Looking at the items on the menu, the girl did not order those luxurious ingredients. Instead, she ordered an ordinary dinner like everyone else. She came here this time to see what is now Crancia.
Depending on the conditions in each place, it is natural to try for yourself how the local people’s meals are like.
"Okay, wait a moment."
Although he was curious about how simple the lady's order was, the bartender didn't ask any more questions and turned around to leave.
While sitting and waiting, Lecia, also known as Lorraine Hill, also listened to what everyone in the bar was talking about.
"Have you heard? The higher-ups are going to issue a recruitment notice recently. It is said that they are preparing for war."
"I know this. It seems to be a conflict between the south and Frost Rose."
"I really want to go. After all, Crancia doesn't deduct military pay like the noble lords in the past. The treatment and food have always been very good."
"Haha, that's true. One of my nephews felt like he had gained a lot of weight after he went to serve in the army. In fact, he was too thin before."
"It's a pity that this recruitment has an age requirement. I guess I won't be able to be selected. Now the most I can do is contribute to the rear."
"Generally speaking, I am quite hopeful now. I am not worried about all kinds of things before."
"Yes, whenever I gave out money in the past, I would be very careful and hide it in a corner of my home, for fear that some local gangster would sneak in. Even if I do a small business, I have to pay various protection fees. How can I pay for it here?
As long as you can do it.”
"With improved security, I feel more at ease in everything I do, and I can sleep well every day. Oh, it's not easy. No wonder those people wanted to revolt back then. If I had known this, who would have been willing to follow the west wind."
"Haha, I feel like if Crancia can continue like this for a few more years, no one will respond to the group of nobles from West Wind who want to be restored."
"Speaking of it, I have forgotten the name of the previous city lord. It has only been two years, and I used to hear people scolding me every day."
"That said, I can't remember it for a moment." Several middle-aged men sat together and laughed.
"Your order is here." The bartender placed two plates of food in front of Lecia and Mira.
"Thanks."
Lecia looked at the rectangular bread, hesitated for a moment, turned to look at the person next to her, and then stretched out her hand to grab a small piece.
It turns out that there are no knives and forks here, she sighed secretly in her heart, because she eats everything directly with her hands.
The bread was not soft, but a little hard. Fortunately, with the vegetable soup, it wasn't that hard to swallow, but it basically had no taste.
While Lecia was slowly eating her dinner, four people, both male and female, walked in. Seeing that there were no empty seats in the bar, they found seats to sit down separately.
"Hello, is there anyone here?" A woman asked carelessly, but her calm demeanor was so calm that it was hard to be angry.
"No." Lecia shook her head, and then looked at the sword on her back, which was wrapped with anti-slip cloth.
After sitting down, the woman took off the sword from her back and placed it next to the table, letting Lecia and Mira take a good look at it.
The blade of the sword looked like it was made of fine steel, it was quite heavy, and there were small sawtooth gaps on it, but the edges were sharpened, so it looked like it had been used frequently.
After ordering the meal, the female adventurer looked at Lecia and said with a smile, "Haha, is this the first time I've met this young lady?"
"Yes."
Lecia nodded. Previously, Hopelan'er was a business center with a dense population. There were no traces of Warcraft for a long time, and there were naturally fewer adventurers. Compared with these wild guards, the Great Chamber of Commerce believed more in the people they had cultivated since childhood.
people.
"It seems that you don't go out much." This adventurer, who is about 30 years old, is in his prime. Although he is a woman, he has a lot of muscles in his arms. He looks like a veteran.
"Can you tell me about your daily adventure experiences?" Lecia was a little curious. Although she was very capable, she had not traveled to many places.
"This... is fine, but you have to pay for my dinner today, otherwise I won't have the energy to talk so much."
"Okay." Lecia naturally doesn't lack the money now.
"Haha, then thank you, young lady." She said rather generously.
"Actually, in our line of work, we also run around looking for work. After all, Warcraft is not available everywhere, and there is no place that can afford to hire us."
Then she started talking about her own experience.
This female adventurer is called Pauline. She had some talent when she was a child. She learned swordsmanship from the local extraordinary sect, and later gradually participated in the work of conquering some magical beasts. Generally speaking, the local extraordinary faction will let newcomers of its own faction participate.
As she practiced, she gradually became familiar with and got to know a group of people.
After getting married, because she was dissatisfied with the tedious life after marriage and had no children, she ran out and became an adventurer by herself. In her own words, she lived a free and happy life.
Although they only have the strength of Sequence 3 now, with their rich experience and cooperation with their companions, they can occasionally hunt some weak Sequence 4 monsters. When completing local commissions, they can also cut off the materials from the monsters and sell them for money.
"Generally speaking, the group of mages in the east buy more. Usually we ask familiar friends to transport it to Lurna and sell it."
In this way, if you do a big job and kill a Sequence 4 monster, you can rest for half a year, have no worries about food and drink, and if you are lucky, you can also change some equipment.
Lecia nodded, and then looked at the two-handed long sword on the table. According to the analysis of her own carrying system, this sword should be an excellent bronze level, which is considered good for ordinary extraordinary people.
"Where are you going recently?"
"Recently. I heard that several rock-piercing worms appeared in the Nied County in the north and collapsed several mines. Now the Crancia official has not only organized manpower, but also summoned some adventurers to go there."
"Because this kind of monster travels underground and its whereabouts are unpredictable, it is very difficult to deal with, so the rewards are relatively rich."
"That's it." Lecia nodded, thinking about her caravan's travel route, and Ned County happened to be among them, so she should go and have a look when the time comes.
