my age of magic

Chapter 1594 143. Thieves Union
The dinner provided by the restaurant in Hollyon Hotel is not bad. I ordered a flavored sausage and a grilled lizard tail. As for dessert, it is a local seasonal fruit platter. People in the northern part of the empire are probably not used to this kind of sweetness. The taste of spicy sausage, but the big plate of grilled lizard tail is really amazing, not only the meat is tender and juicy, but the tailbone is actually full of crispy bones, crunching in the mouth, dipping some of the secret sauce provided by the restaurant Make sauces to whet your appetite.

Annie also recommended us the famous crispy pancakes in Qiyan City, which is delicious when eaten with grilled lizard tails.

However, the tauren Luka, who is a vegetarian, can only eat a big meal with a pot of crispy pancakes and a large fruit platter. It is now winter in the imperial capital. Except for some fruits such as apples and pears stored in winter, other kinds of fruits are very popular. It's unpalatable. There are many kinds of fruits here in Qiyan City. Luka burped, just like methane constantly emerging from a swamp. The sound was dull, with the sound of bursting water bubbles.

After we had dinner in the restaurant, the waiter in the restaurant came over with a tray and handed me a parchment note. I thought it was the bill for the meal, but the waiter bent over and whispered Said to me: "Dear Mr. Magician, there is a note left for you by a gentleman at the door of the restaurant."

I took the parchment and glanced at it casually, and found that it was really a note. There was a line of imperial characters on this creamy yellow note, which read:

'Dear guest, do you need a guide?If you want to explore the dangerous jungle outside Qiyan City, please be sure to find a qualified guide. If you are willing to hire me, I guarantee that you will get unexpected gains. — Shah Rux. '

Ying Li and the others curiously wanted to take a look at the above content, but they were very reserved and wanted to maintain their ladylike image in public, so they could only pass their eyes to me frequently, and I handed the parchment note to Ying Li , explained to everyone: "There is a gentleman who wants to recommend himself to be our guide."

"In Strange Rock City, being a guide is a very common job, and many people here make a living from it." Sitting beside Su, Annie said, she had just finished eating the crispy pancakes on the plate, holding a Guava.

The girls all turned their attention to me. We went to the slave market in Haines City to meet Jonah Adams, the largest lizard slave owner there. Please recommend some experienced and experienced people in Qiyan City. Well-known guides, because I was worried that the schedules of those well-known guides would be very full, Jonah Adams recommended five guides to us in total, so for the time being, I would like to meet the famous guides of Qiyan City in the list, the list in memory None of the five names named Sha Ruks.

So I had to think of a reason to say no, and I said, "I'm going to talk to him."

After I paid the waiter eleven silver coins for the meal and gave him a tip of one silver coin, the waiter said calmly: "This man comes here often, Mr. Magician, whether you and He'd better be more careful about what kind of deal he makes."

This is probably the charm of the silver tip, and I didn't express anything to him, because even the slightest hint, as long as the man named Sha Luke at the door noticed it, for this It is an unnecessary inconvenience to the waiter.

The waiter and I walked through the passage of the restaurant one after the other, he walked towards the back kitchen, and I went straight to the door of the restaurant.

"I don't know you." I said to the young man waiting at the door, my tone seemed a little stiff.

The young man took off the hat on his head, saluted me, and said in a strong Qiyan accent: "But I know you need a guide like me."

His eyes are very flexible, and his smile has a hint of ruffianism. His eyes first looked for my magic badge, and then secretly looked at my magic belt. My magic perception felt the smell of a predator on him, but he just An ordinary person, I can't guess where he got this confidence.

"Sorry, I thought I might disappoint you, but I don't need a guide," I said to the young man.

He shrugged his shoulders indifferently, waved to me, and said: "Whenever you change your mind, please come to this address to find me, I look forward to cooperating with you." Then he left the restaurant.

……

After dinner, Su and Helena were arguing about going out for a walk, but Senior Erika didn't have much interest and stayed in the hotel alone.

We walked out of the Hollyon Hotel and crossed a wide street in front of it. Opposite the Horlyn Hotel is the Civic Center Square. The square is surrounded by tall coconut trees and the green belt on the side of the road is very neatly trimmed.

A group of young people saw us in the square, so they took the initiative to ask: "Do you need a guide? If you want to join us and want to explore the jungle, you can hire us. We are very familiar with the jungle around Qiyan City..."

Facing this group of young guides, the tauren Luka stood up and said to them: "We don't need guides for now."

His voice was like thunder, and standing in front of these young people was like a hill, frightening them all backed away, not daring to get closer.

Leaving the Civic Center Square, we walked straight along the street in front of the Civic Center, and met several guides who came up to introduce themselves.

……

As night fell over Strange Rock City, we found a magic caravan on the street, told the coachman to go to our Clover Tavern, and Anne came forward to negotiate a price with the coachman, and then the magic caravan drove us all the way.

Clover Tavern is the Thieves Association of Strange Rock City. The Thieves Association can be regarded as the largest intelligence platform in the Green Empire. It specializes in providing customers with various information and accepting various investigation tasks. They are more like an organization set up by a group of private detectives.

The Clover Tavern was where they traded information and entrusted missions. Justus was very familiar with these. He had run a tavern of this nature on the island of Dunay back then, specializing in the sale of various Information, accept some entrusted tasks.

The night in Qiyan City is also a bit stuffy, there is no wind, it feels like the air can squeeze out water, and it is wet everywhere. This kind of environment is very friendly to water magicians.

Justus and I sat on the side seats on both sides of the door of the carriage, Ying Li, Helena, and Becky sat opposite Annie and Sue, and Luka the Tauren sat on the salute frame behind the magic caravan. With so many people in this magic caravan, it didn't seem too difficult for two ancient horses to carry all of us.

The streets in Qiyan City are very flat, the main road is paved with bluestone slabs, and the drainage facilities are very complete. On both sides of the road, drainage ditches covered with slate slabs can be seen.

The magic caravan is walking on the main street of Qiyan City. There are a variety of shops on both sides of the street. As night falls, these shops are lit up with colorful lights. Many of the products sold here have the atmosphere of the jungle.

As Annie introduced, Qiyan City is a city with a large proportion of foreign population. There are explorers from all over the world gathered here. They wear leather armor and carry weapons on the street, and they can be recognized at a glance, such as us. A group of young adventurers from the imperial capital.

Along the way, I saw some young people boldly approaching these adventure groups, trying to communicate with them.

Ying Li looked away from the window and couldn't help saying to us: "There are really many guides in this city."

Annie said to us: "I was not like this when I left Strange Rock City with the legion, and now Strange Rock City has become a bit strange to me."

When we walked into Strange Rock City, Annie seemed to have entered her role.From her point of view, I invited her and Su to join our adventure group. Besides friendship, the more important point is that I have taken a fancy to Su's outstanding ability. Nowadays, it is almost impossible to find priests with healing ability in the imperial capital.In addition, she took a fancy to her life experience in Qiyan City in the past few years, so she needs to let us understand this city faster.

I know that's what Annie thinks in her heart. In fact, I have always wanted to find a suitable opportunity to tell them the truth of the matter. Unfortunately, I have never found a suitable opportunity. I have hesitated until now and have not lifted the veil.

"Have you lived in this city for the past few years? Take me to the place where you lived tomorrow." Su said to Anne.

She took Annie's arm and looked out the window from time to time.

Annie and Su have been getting together less and more often for the past few years. This time when the service period expires, they haven't decided whether to stay in the South Wind Army yet, and they probably want to take this opportunity to spend more time with Su.

The way Annie laughed made me stunned, I seemed to see the shadow of Sister Guoguo from her beautiful face, and then my heart felt like it was about to jump out of my heart at that moment.

She smiled and said to Su: "Okay, I basically live in the barracks. Now, except for the garrison, all the Constructed Knights have gone to the imperial capital with the commander of the Aix Army. There's no one I know anymore."

Qiyan City is not too big. Although it is the capital of Qiyan Province, the rainforest here limits the development of Qiyan City.

……

The magic caravan soon drove to the door of the Clover Tavern. Unexpectedly, it was very lively here. When we got off the magic caravan, we looked up and saw the magic lamp plaque tens of meters long in front. The magic lights on it formed a jungle pattern. , which hides a very conspicuous set of words 'clover'.

The tavern is blocked by a dense palm tree, it looks more like a pergola built in the woods, with bright lights coming out from inside, there are many drinkers gathered inside, we walked into the chaotic tavern, inside There are all kinds of people, some are foreign adventurers, some are real drinkers, some are staff and hostesses in the tavern, and some locals shuttle back and forth in the tavern staring at the various fruits and special foods Unexpectedly, the largest intelligence place in Qiyan City looks like a lively vegetable market.

"Look at the way the owner runs the tavern, and look at the days you spent on Dunay Island..." I couldn't help complaining to Justus.

Justus chuckled and said to me, "If it wasn't for the damned war of planes, if it wasn't for the stupid Boris Mensa, the business of my tavern is actually pretty good."

The tauren Luka walked in the front, and almost everyone who came across gave way to this burly tauren. We walked through the messy tavern lobby without much effort, and went straight to the bar inside the tavern. The tavern bar This place was full of people. Luca and Justus persuaded some drinkers away with their eyes, and our group sat down in front of the bar. The bartender in the bar rolled his eyes and stared at Luka the tauren and said: "What would you like to drink, Yankees. I advise you not to make trouble here."

I walked out from behind the tauren, sat in front of the bartender, put a gold coin on the bar, pushed it in front of him and said:

"Give each of us a glass of coconut wine, and I want to meet your boss."

The bartender looked at me warily and asked:

"Magician? What do you want from our boss?"

As he spoke, he quickly put the gold coins into his pocket, and placed a row of wine glasses on the bar, pouring milky white wine juice from a blue coconut shell.

I rested my chin on one hand and looked at him calmly: "I want to buy some information from him."

"Wait..." the bartender raised his arms high and shouted at a young man who was drinking with someone at a wine table: "Willow, come here, there are a group of Yankees here looking for our boss to buy some Message."

The atmosphere in the tavern was noisy, no one seemed to care about us, but I could clearly feel that someone was staring at us.

The young man jumped over nimbly, his body was as flexible as a monkey, he leaned in front of me, looked at me carefully, and said to me: "Come with me."

The tauren Luka and Justus followed behind me, but was stopped by the young man. He gave the tauren Luka a wary look, "You stay here, only two of you can come up with me."

Hearing what he said, I waved to everyone. The tauren Luka and Justus sat back on their chairs, and Katerina followed behind me. The young man looked at Katarina in surprise and said nothing , took us directly to the back room of the tavern, we walked through the kitchen at the back of the tavern, and walked into a room without secrets, which was set up like a magical grocery store, with shelves full of bundles of Bundling the scrolls, a bald middle-aged man was sorting out the materials on the counter with his stomach full.

When he saw someone walking in, he pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, looked up at us with a stiff smile on his face.

"Welcome to the beautiful Qiyan City. I wonder if there is anything I can do to help you, Mr. Magician?"

"I want to buy some news from the Thieves Union in Qiyan City." I sat opposite him and said.

The bald, middle-aged man signaled the young man guarding the door to close the door, and said with a dry smile: "I am the manager of the Thieves Union in Qiyan City, tell me what do you want to know?"
