Chapter 15: : Mermaid Tavern

Latest website: Xinyue Port is owned by Xinyue Town. It faces the Flying Fish Strait and backs the Honeymoon Forest.
The Honeymoon Forest is the largest elven self-governing territory in the Shengming Empire, and the Elf King surrendered to Shengming the Great early. Emperor Shengming divided it into imperial marquis.
The honeymoon forest is rich in products, the most famous of which is the moon spring water. Drinking this spring water can quickly replenish the magic in the body. If you drink it for a long time, you can also increase the upper limit of your own magic reserve.
The elves living in the forest maintain a huge trade with the Shengming Empire all the year round. However, Crescent Town does not assume the role of a trading hub, even though it is right next to this vast forest.
The trade hub is Caishan Town. This town is located on a high mountain and the empire has invested heavily in building it. Between the specific location and Xinyue Town, just across the Honeymoon Forest.
Caishan Town has a well-known empire airport. There are airships, hot air balloons, griffins, and air whales all year round, especially in March and September each year. Various flying mounts and tools like birds circle, take off and land in the sky of Caishan Town.
Compared with the more convenient and developed air routes, the competitiveness of the sea routes in Crescent Town is too weak.
Crescent Town itself does not have any specialties, but its development also depends on the honeymoon forest.
Unlike Caishan Town, New Moon Town relies not on trade, but on the annual beast tide in the Honeymoon Forest.
The animal wave is a crisis and an opportunity.
The mercenary trade union and thieves trade union build branches here, and the super mercenary group also set up a station here, and hunting groups are regular visitors here. Sometimes I can see magicians and scholars. It was the busiest time in New Moon Town before and after the beast tide happened.
The Mermaid Tavern is the largest and oldest tavern in Crescent Town.
The reason why it is the oldest and the oldest is because there is only one tavern like it in the entire town.
The pub was noisy and blatantly lit.
The bartender was wiping the glasses behind the bar.
A male bard is singing songs on stage. The song has a lively rhythm and is permeated with a strong tropical atmosphere.
At this time, the door of the bar was suddenly pushed open.
Four people came in eagerly, attracting many people's attention.
The leader is a human man with a strong physique, withered yellow hair and a strong bronze breath.
Next was a goblin, covering his face with a black cloth, and carrying a long sword behind him.
Then there was an old man with wrinkled face, a plump body, and a pair of huge glasses. The black and white beard is well groomed.
In the end, there was a young man with an ordinary appearance and a little nervous.
The four people passed through the wine tables and went straight to the bar.
It was the old man who spoke. His voice was hoarse, and he complained first: "This mountain road."
Then he sat on the high wooden chair, knocked on the table top of the bar, and asked, "What good wine do you have here?"
The bartender put down the wine glass he wiped in his hand: "Guests, our signature here is bronze cider. The material used to make wine is from a bronze apple tree in the central city of the honeymoon forest. Guests should know copper apples, iron apples, silver apples and even The golden apple?"
The old man raised his brows slightly, revealing a hint of surprise.
These apples are not ordinary, they belong to the magic plant, and contain wonderful magic power. Long-term consumption can increase the background of transcendents of the corresponding level and promote their own strength to grow rapidly. And the more critical role is when an extraordinary person is at the peak of his life, but temporarily falls into a bottleneck, unable to break through. Then this extraordinary person can choose to eat higher grade apples to help him break through smoothly.
These magic apples are the most precious foreign trade items in the honeymoon forest. As for the moon spring water, it is a holy artifact of the elves and is never sold publicly.
The old man smiled: "Then bring me a glass of Bronze Apple Bar. Everyone else will order beer."
"A glass of bronze cider is a gold coin. The other beer is a total of eighteen copper coins." The bartender smiled. He noticed the vitality of ordinary people from the old man, and then persuaded, "The old man should try not to drink too much."
The old man took out two gold coins directly from his arms, placed them on the bar, pressed the surface of the gold coins with two fingers, and then slowly pushed them to the bartender: "Tell me something new."
As a result, the bartender understood that the extra money was the intelligence expense paid by the old man.
"If you want to inquire about the animal tide, then I have to tell you, you are coming early."
"No, no, no." The old man shook his head, "Tell me about the boat."
He lowered his voice slightly, and added: "The ship I am referring to is not a merchant ship, nor a warship."
The bartender's eyes flashed, and the voice was also lowered: "Then you came at a coincidental time. In the last few days, there will be a good opportunity. At least two ships will dock to the dock for a lot of supplies. But if these two ships will not accept people, I don’t know."
"Two ships? What are they like?" the old man asked.
"They belong to a group. I don't know the specifics, but they are very strong. The captains of the two ships are silver-level masters. It is said that there are not only two silver-level extraordinary men in this pirate gang!"
The old man wondered: "Which team is it? Two captains? Is it a small alliance?"
The bartender shook his head: "I don't know about that."
The old man took out another gold coin.
But the bartender refused.
This made the old man understand that it was not that the bartender did not want to collect the money, but that all he knew was that.
But the old man still pushed the gold coin straight to the bartender: "I want to get on the boat, is there any way?"
The bartender sighed and shook his head: "There is no way. This is their first stop. But I think you have a great chance. These people have experienced a great battle. Although they have been defeated, their opponents are golden fighters. It is said that they lost. One can imagine the loss of personnel on a ship."
The old man glanced at the three companions, and he suddenly understood: The pirate group that the bartender was referring to was the young knight, the mane and the gang of ash.
The old man is not someone else, but a mustache.
The remaining three are cyanobacteria, Sandao, and Baiya. Good chinese
Although the young knight captured 006, he initially reached cooperation with the empire and obtained a magic contract. But this time, they went to the empire's seaport for supplies.
Of course, the young knight wouldn't just go there, what if the truth of the mysterious island is exposed? What if the empire wants to trap pirates?
Therefore, the young knight ordered Cangxu and others to land first to investigate the situation. And he himself led the fleet and took the initiative to dock on the unnamed island for supplies, giving Cangxu and others time to investigate.
Cangxu and the others arrived at Crescent Harbor aboard the Deep Sea Monster Fish, used means to slightly change their appearance, and went to the Mermaid Tavern to find out the news.
There is a proverb in the Empire that is very good-wine cannot invent anything, but wine can reveal secrets.
Therefore, the tavern has always been a good place to inquire about intelligence.
After hearing the news that his gang was coming to supply supplies, most of the worries in Cangxu's heart disappeared.
The news has come out, and the probability of trapping them by the empire has immediately become much smaller.
Because the credibility of the empire is more important than trapping several silver-level pirates.
As for the information obtained from 006, Cangxu is very clear: The Shengming Empire has a big plan for the Pirate God Seat.
Therefore, the empire will not give up such a big plan for the sake of a few silver pirates.
As for why the news came out?
It's actually very simple.
If the empire wants to provide supplies, it will definitely involve the movement of personnel and materials. Among the supplies requested by the young knight, there are also particularly huge artifacts.
You can't hide these things.
As long as personnel are involved, relevant information will naturally circulate.
Of course, it's far from enough to find intelligence. In the next plan, Cangxu and the others will go to the dock at night.
But it is not late at night.
Cangxu and the others still stayed in the tavern, looking for other information while waiting for the time to come.
The pub’s business is very good, with customers coming in constantly.
The Mermaid Tavern is not big, and soon it becomes more noisy and crowded.
Cangxu and others had left the bar and sat at a table in the corner.
A tall and thin man with black hair hit his beard.
"Sorry!"
He raised his hand for a sign, turned and left.
But the three swords suddenly shot, grabbed it all at once, and knocked him to the ground with a violent blow.
The man covered his stomach and groaned in pain.
Sandao Shishiran took out the purse from his arms and put it on Cangbeard's table.
Seeing his purse, Cangbeard showed a look of astonishment.
"Thief!" Bai Ya called.
"I'll do it." Blue Algae got up, grabbed the man by the collar, dragged it all the way to the door of the bar, then opened the door, and threw the thief directly out.
Because of this change, the noisy sound in the tavern was a little lower, but it was restored to the same level immediately.
Cangxu listened quietly in the corner.
The words of these drinkers often reveal a lot of information.
He got his wish and heard the information about his pedestrian. After the pig kiss disappeared mysteriously, the Knights Templar, the Saint Ming sect, and the Hundred Needles family sent people to search for it for a while. After the search was unsuccessful, the search and rescue team was revoked, and lists of missing persons related to needle gold, scabs and others have been posted in cities across the coast.
There are portraits of them on the list, and a generous bounty is also marked.
Cangxu is not worried.
This situation was as early as he expected, and at the same time, although the needle gold and the scab had been in contact with Yishenhui and others very early. But their appearance has also undergone a certain degree of disfigurement, which is not small from the original appearance.
The most important thing is the Shirakawa grudge of the young knight. This kind of grudge is very common, not a hundred needle grudge. Therefore, it is difficult to associate the two together.
"What a wonderful story!" Bai Ya suddenly sighed.
Cang Xu was stunned.
Bai Ya pointed to the bard on the tavern stage: "Don't you think the story he recites, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is very exciting?"
Cang Xu was stunned for a moment. His attention had been focused on the conversations of other drinkers, ignoring the music that had always existed.
The bard on the stage played the lyre, and the other person who cooperated with him played the clarinet.
The poems he recites are in the format of a typical heroic epic. It tells the story of several warriors who discovered cultists and brought them to justice to protect the townspeople.
Cangxu didn't care about it, but at the end of the poem, the bard uttered the names of these warriors in praise. They are the mayor, captain of the guards, church priest, and even the owner of the Mermaid Tavern in this small town.
"It turns out that this is what really happened." Bai Ya exclaimed.
Alcoholics around are not surprised. They have listened to this music many times and have become accustomed to it.
Cang Xu quickly lowered his head to conceal his movement. He heard more information about the cultists, and the end of the music revealed his evil belief-Charm Blue God!
