I'm really a necromancer

Chapter 31 The World of Mortals

Then Reg assigned the procurement tasks to the several apprentices present. When Reg looked at Yihua, hesitation flashed in his eyes.

"As for Yihua, you..."

Reg hesitated for a moment, then continued:
"Just wander around in the city. If you want to buy anything, you can take this opportunity to buy it."

Yihua is planning to take this opportunity to learn more about the mortal world, and to find more ways to obtain merit.

Reg's words hit Yihua's heart, so he nodded.

Looking around, seeing that none of the four had any objections, Reg nodded.

"Then gather at the north gate of the city at noon, and let's disband now."

Seeing a few people leave, Yi Hua also wandered around the city on horseback, and found a tavern.

Yihua spoke the truth after drinking, and knew that the tavern was a good place to get information, so Yi Hua stopped and led the magic mane horse into the stable of the tavern.

At this time, a young groom with a bucket just happened to come face to face.

The moment he saw Yihua wearing the wizard badge, the bucket in the young groom's hand fell to the ground with a bang, with a frightened expression on his face.

Ignoring the young man's gaffe, Yi Hua said casually:
"Groom, give my horse a brush and use the best hay."

"Obey! My lord wizard."

The groom who reacted didn't bother to pick up the bucket, and hurriedly lowered his head, nodding and bowing to Yi Hua.

Before entering the tavern, Yihua thought about it, and in order to avoid alarming the enemy, he took off the badge on his chest and stuffed it into his pocket.

Entering the tavern, a middle-aged woman with slightly wrinkled face, rough palms and calluses subconsciously glanced at it.

Seeing Yihua's exquisitely crafted white robe, his eyes lit up, and he trotted up to meet him.

"My lord, please come with me, what do you want?"

Hearing the middle-aged woman's inquisitive inquiries, Yihua recalled that he was so busy on his way that he hadn't had breakfast until noon, so he didn't hesitate:
"First a loaf of white bread, five steaks, and a golden wheat."

Golden ale is a specialty of Maisui City. It is cool and refreshing, and it is most suitable for quenching thirst in slightly hot weather.

The middle-aged woman guided Yihua to a cubicle, but Yihua stopped halfway.

"No need, just here."

In order to obtain information, Yi Hua shook his head and chose a relatively remote location in the hall.

"My lord, how can you sit here? What if someone who doesn't open his eyes bumps into your lord..."

Seeing that the middle-aged woman seemed a little apprehensive, Yi Hua waved his hand and popped out a gold coin, which caused the middle-aged woman to exclaim.

The currency in the mortal world is divided into three types of currency: gold, silver and copper. One gold coin is equivalent to one hundred silver coins and ten thousand copper coins.

The meal Yi Hua ordered was only worth one silver coin at most, and the profit of the tavern for a month may not be worth one gold coin.

Yi Hua just sat down in the corner, and after a while, golden ale with rich bubbles came up first.

To be on the safe side, Yi Hua took a sip first.

Although golden ale is alcohol, its strength is similar to that of beer in the previous life. For Yi Hua, who has the physique of a great knight, it will be broken down as soon as he eats it.

"Hey, have you heard? Recently, the ferocious beasts in Fangorn Forest rioted. It is said that several nearby villages were slaughtered, and even many wizards were buried in the forest!"

Seeing two people talking about Fangorn Forest in the tavern, Yi Hua immediately pricked up his ears to listen.

Just as the thin man finished speaking, the middle-aged man across the table interrupted him quickly.

"Shut up! Is the wizard something you and I can talk about?"

The thin man also seemed to realize that he had said something wrong, so he quickly slapped himself twice, and after a long while, he sighed and said:
"I don't know how long this riot will last and whether it will affect our place. I rely on business for a living, and now I am trapped here. If it continues, I will go bankrupt."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man smiled, shook his head and said:

"That's not the case. In the early years, I heard from Grandpa Nain next door that he also experienced the ferocious beast riots in Fangorn Forest when he was young. In the end, the wizard on the other side of the tower..."

"You guys are so brave! How dare you default on the protection fee owed to our Giant Bear Gang? Are you getting impatient!"

A piercing roar sounded outside the store, and the two people who were discussing in the store quickly shut up.

Yi Hua frowned when the conversation was interrupted in the middle, and looked towards the door of the store.

After a while, the owner of the voice, a muscular bald man strode into the store and asked the middle-aged woman in front of the counter:
"How dare you default on the protection fee of five gold coins for our giant bear gang, your tavern doesn't want to go on!"

The middle-aged woman's face turned blue, and she was just about to refute, but the bald-headed man snatched the steak from the plate of the blond girl next to the proprietress.

In front of the pale little girl, he stuffed it into his own mouth.

"Yo? You know I'm hungry?"

While chewing, the bald man rubbed his hands covered in grease and sauce on the middle-aged woman's apron.

What the bald man ate was exactly the steak Yi Hua ordered.

The middle-aged woman subconsciously glanced at Yihua in the corner, seeing Yihua frowning slightly, felt uneasy.

"My husband paid you protection money before he was alive. What do you mean by that?"

The middle-aged woman was startled and angry, and forcibly retorted calmly.

"Handed it in? Is there any evidence?"

The bald man calmly asked back.

"Of course there is!"

The middle-aged woman took out a slightly crumpled note.Before he had time to react, he was snatched by the bald man.

The bald man took a look, sneered, and tore the paper in his hand to shreds.

"How dare you lie to me with false documents?"

"That's obviously true!"

The middle-aged woman who just wanted to snatch the paper saw this scene, and she was so anxious that tears fell, and the little girl beside her hugged the middle-aged woman quickly when she saw this.

"Really? Do you have evidence?"

After the bald man finished speaking, he cast a malicious look at the little girl who was hiding behind the middle-aged woman, who was as cute as a doll with long pale golden braids.

"If you don't have money, you can take your daughter to pay off the debt. Don't worry, our brothers from the Giant Bear Gang will take good care of her."

After all, the bald-headed man recalled the taste of the two girls obtained by the same method before, and let out bursts of wretched laughter.

Although the methods are clumsy, for ordinary people, the Giant Bear Gang with an official knight platform behind them is an existence that cannot be provoked at all.

The moment the people around heard the name "Giant Bear Gang", they stopped moving, which also confirmed this point.

As for nobles and wizards?
The Giant Bear Gang has been able to run rampant in Maisui City so far, so they naturally know who can be messed with and who can't be messed with.

"Where did the offal come from?"

A discordant voice came, interrupting the bald man's fantasy.

The owner of the voice was Yi Hua. Looking at the dark gray body of the bald man with a strong halo of sin, Yi Hua's eyes flashed coldly.

"Boy, say it again if you have the guts!"

"What's wrong? Dissatisfied?"

Seeing Yi Hua's fearless counterattack, the bald man annoyed by Yi Hua rushed to where Yi Hua was.

Yi Hua, who was sitting there, didn't panic at all, took out a gray stone badge from his pocket, and pinned it on his chest leisurely.
