Chapter 401 The Professor in the Tavern
"The pearl you speak of, on that terrifying corpse , or in the seabed city? Or in the hands of the ceremony masters of the Crimson Cult?"

Shade asked again.

"I don't know that."

Mr. Edmund's face was regretful:

"I'm not a murloc, I I haven't been to seabed, these are all recorded in stone tablets and literature, I can't even determine whether the pearl is a [relic]. But you will not be mistaken, it is a golden pearl, about half the size of a fist ."

Shade frowned thought for a while, so it seemed that only by finding a way to directly touch what Mr. Edmund said was the pearl, so that he could be sure if there was anything he wanted in it.

“I have one more question, is there any danger in Coldwater Harbor other than Evil God’s family? I worry that when the time comes, other things will happen.”

“ The warlock forces of the old and new continents have gathered in Coldwater Harbor to find someone, is this considered dangerous? Besides, there are rumors of fishermen witnessing mermaids in the open sea, but that kind of alien race is a peaceful race. There are only these.”

The old man thought about it again:
"Of course, there are no shortage of ancient legends in this land, and there are also many modern legends. For example, there were once level 0 relics here, such as this land was destroyed by desire and Sin has been polluted, which is why the contemporary era has become a paradise for smugglers and stowaways, and the fire of civilization always invites strange things, but I don't think it has anything to do with this incident."

"Okay. ."

Shade nodded again and got up to leave.

"But if the murlocs really have."

The thought was still reverberating in his head.

[.You will at all costs, get it. ]

She whispered in his ear, as if wrapping her arms around his neck, Whispering behind his ears.

Not only did Shade want to go, Mr. Edmund also told Shade to leave quickly, because the Orthodox Church might send someone here, and these old lighthouses still have some uses.

So Shade returned to the carriage under the sea cliff with an umbrella, and then had the driver take him to the edge of the city. Since Coldwater Harbor does not allow carriage, he intends to walk into the city.

Walking through the night in the rain, Shade was not stopped. Although the city is under martial law, it is only strictly controlled near the dock. Shade can still find the carriage, and then take him to the Avrolla family's manor.

The local estate of the Avrolla family, located at the end of Harbour Street on the seafront. The manor is close to the sea, the front faces the city, and the back is the beach. It is a real "sea view manor". Although it is not as good as the Sophia mansion of the royal family, it is also an excellent building in Coldwater Harbor.

Unsurprisingly, the vicinity of the Avrolla manor was strictly blocked by the church and the police, and no one was allowed to enter. Although it is raining outside now, and Shade has the Illusion Technique that can be used at night, the Mystic Art that moves in space, and he can even swim from the seabed to land from the beach, but in order to prevent people who are considered strange, he did not rashly intrude Demoness' Manor.

Standing in the shadow of the street and observing for a while, I finally decided to go to the pub on the seaside conch avenue where the manor is located to take shelter from the rain, and by the way to inquire about what happened in the city tonight.

It's already four o'clock in the morning, but the Green Algae Tavern's business is quite good. While not every table is full, at least 1/4/2022 the table was filled.

The poet who came from nowhere was sitting by the wall and playing and singing the lute, surrounded by some idle people listening, and from time to time came the voices of laughter and discussion, encouraging the poet to play and sing the vulgarity of the countryside. slang minor.

As Shade pushed open the door of the tavern, a thunderstorm happened in the night sky outside. The people near the door subconsciously turned their heads and looked towards the entrance of the tavern, just looking at the strange man dripping with water, pushing the door with both hands, and the shadow fell on the masonry floor of the tavern because of the lightning that illuminated the night sky outside.

It was obvious that they were all taken aback, but when they saw Shade walk into the light of the tavern gaslights, shutting out the rain and thunder, he let out a sigh of relief and laughed at each other. The cowardice of comrades.

Shade sniffs and walks to the long counter, first ordering a hot drink to ward off the cold, and then asking the bartender for a dry towel.

He usually doesn't drink alcohol, but this time he was really cold in the rain, so he didn't say must white water. I thought the bartender would give him a glass of hard liquor, but didn't expect the other party to bring him an amber drink with a medicinal smell.

"This is our exclusive recipe, half ale, half herbal wine, soaked in ginger and chili, it definitely wards off the cold. It's famous locally and has a nice name, Warm Fire Many sailors who go to sea will come to us to buy a few barrels before sailing.”

The bartender introduced confidently.

Shade took a sip despite his doubts about the ingredients. The flavor of this thing is weird, Dao Idol, sip it, herbs, alcohol, chili and ginger water, all while hitting Shade's taste buds. Especially the chili peppers, the spiciness made Shade immediately feel a layer of sweat on his forehead, and when he wiped the sweat, he felt warm again, only his mouth was a little uncomfortable.

"Very good."

He looked at the liquid left in the glass in amazement, and the gray-haired bartender showed a smug expression:

" This is our trademark here. But what are you doing outside on this rainy day? It's martial law now."

"Oh, I'm really unlucky today, I lost a whole night playing cards, and came out Was immediately questioned by the cops. I'm just going to hide here and hope the damn cops get out of here."

Shade said rudely, and the bartender was sympathetic:

"Then you'll have to wait for a while. In the first half of the night, there was continuous gunshots outside for half an hour, yes, near the manor at the end of the street. Then the police came, although The gunfire stopped, but no one dares to go out now."

He pointed to the guests in the tavern:

"These are all staying here, going to wait until dawn Those who leave."

"What the hell happened outside? Damn it, that bet. My friend's soundproofing is really good."

Shade said rather distressed.

"I don't know, but the intensity of the gunfire sounds like a war? Maybe the damned Carsenricks have landed."

The bartender shrugged, he was also amused by himself .

"What about the people in the manor? Has anyone come out? If the nobles dare to leave, I think we can too."

Shade asked again.

"Tonight the manor was very lively. It seemed that a banquet was being held, but no one came out yet. Maybe they cherished their lives more than us."

The bartender shook his head, And then wanted to sell Shade, a hemorrhoid remedy in their tavern. And it is not for external application, but for direct drinking. This is a new formula developed from the local long-standing local herbal medicine, and the price is very cheap.

That sounds terrifying, and Shade doesn't need it, so he immediately rejects it.

I understand that there was also an attack by murlocs nearby. Although I don't know why the people in the manor did not leave after the danger was gone, Shade decided to wait until his body warmed up and entered the manor to check the situation. .

It's just that he just shifted the topic to the Rhodes card and wanted to see if this tavern selling magical medicinal liquor had any precious cards when the door of the tavern was pushed open again.

The cold wind and rain, along with the sound of hua la la, broke into this slightly drunken tavern. Shade glanced back, then immediately turned around and pretended not to see anything.

The guests who entered the door were the Old Mister who wore glasses, and the middle age person who also wore glasses and had a two-stroke beard.

The old man with round-rimmed glasses, dressed in a formal black suit, even taller than Shade, had a pocket watch chain sticking out of his breast pocket, fastened to a button on his chest

Shade bowed his head and said nothing. He had seen this Old Mister, Vice Principal of the St. Byrons Comprehensive Academy, Director of Student Administration, and Harms Mister of the Library Management Academy. Professor Sanchez. The last time we met at Shade's house, the old professor's spell "charming human beings" left a very deep impression on the foreigners who came to this world for the first time.

Professor Sansche and his companions also walked to the counter, and after chatting with the bartender and ordering drinks, went to look for an empty table. During this time, Shade kept his head down and played his Rhodes cards for fear of being recognized, but this time he was lucky.

Professor Sanchez's companion is also Gaohuan Warlock, who should also be a professor at St. Byrons. However, Shade heard the news that the three Mystic Art Academy sent to Lengshuigang to "return the ceremony by sea" was obviously a professor from the School of Political Economics, didn't expect St. Byrons to send the Vice Principal directly .

"But what are the professors doing in this tavern? It's raining now. Even if they want to drink, there's no reason for them to travel so far at such a late hour."

A Flora Manor is not strictly in the core urban area of Coldwater Harbor, but on the edge of the dock area.

Shade shrank his head and made up his mind to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible, and the bartender who had just talked to Shade about the Rhodes brand came over after serving the guests.

Not only him, but when the maid in the tavern opened the wooden door leading to the back kitchen, a cat sprang out from behind the kitchen door. This should be a cat that was raised in a pub and used to catch mice. It looked around, then jumped on the high stool in front of the counter, then jumped on the counter again, and lay down on Shade's hand very neatly.

It was a very beautiful white cat, although not as cute as Mia, but such pure white hair is rare indeed.

“Where did we just talk about it?”

The middle-aged bartender touched the white cat, and then continued to chat with Shade:
“Next month, the big city player It's about to begin. This time it's in Tobesque, and I'm ready to make a big bet when the time comes."
