Chapter 291 Darkforge Tavern
Chapter 291 Darkforge Tavern
This is not the first time that Luo Xi has seen the ability to become "invisible".
The real No. 79 who was killed by him before was also hidden in the house in a similar way.
But the one in front of me is much more powerful than 79.
The other person was wrapped in a dark grey tights, with a hood on his head and his face covered with the same cloth. There was a faint light in his exposed eyes.
Like a shadow living in the darkness.
"How do you know I'm here?" The other party's voice was also very low and a little hoarse.
"Similarly, we have the same idea as to why you chose this place." Luo Xi said, showing a stack of cards in his hand.
"What do you want to do?" The other party's tone was obviously much more serious.
"I said, let's talk. As for these, they are just in case you don't talk to me, or if the talks break down." Luo Xi threatened the other party seriously.
"I should have killed you just now, you dishonest bastard." The other party was very angry.
"No, the previous transaction still stands. I'm here to talk to you about other things." Luo Xi deliberately showed the [Gold Coin] card in the stack of cards.
Without waiting for the other party to respond, Luo Xi took out a gold coin card and said, "Where is the Darkforge Tavern?"
Then, the second card was drawn: "What is the strategy to capture Cinderella?"
The third one: "What number of tickets can I get here?"
"Of course, if there is other information, the price is also this. I will take as many as you have." Luo Xi took out more than a dozen gold coins this time. The next moment, he materialized all of these gold coins.
A handful of golden coins looks very pleasing.
Luo Xi knew that once the 'bottom line' was broken once, it would become a habit.
What's more, he was sure that the "bottom line" of the person in front of him was definitely not broken by him for the first time, and he must be a "repeat offender".
But the other party is also a ruthless character, and the corpses on the roof are very imaginative.
Besides, this is just what we have seen, there are also what we have not seen.
how many?
Whose body is this?
I'm afraid only the other person knows the truth.
Maybe among them is this former 'client'.
But it doesn’t matter. Trading with this kind of person can bring benefits, and this is what matters most to him at the moment.
The man opposite stared at Luo Xi motionlessly. Because it was already night, this guy seemed to have the ability to blend into the surrounding night. Luo Xi didn't know whether this was the ability of some kind of professional card, or if it was caused by the kind of fabric the other person was wearing.
In short, this is a dangerous existence, good at hiding, like an assassin.
"The Darkhearth Bar is in the Old Town, Crow Lane, and it's easy to find. Most customers just ensure Cinderella's safety and give her a little help. After she completes her plot night, they can get Ticket No. 4 from the fairy. Or they can help the stepmother and her friends bully Cinderella and prevent her from attending the ball, and they can get Ticket No. 5 from her. But if you do this, you will be cursed by the fairy, so I suggest you don't try it. There's nothing special about Node No. 5. Besides, there are more ways to get it."
After the other party finished speaking, he extended his hand.
Luo Xi thought about it and threw over four gold coins.
Gave one extra.
"Where can I get ticket No. 6?" Luo Xi asked again.
"Number 6? That way of obtaining it has nothing to do with Cinderella." The man sneered.
"But I just want to know." Luo Xi insisted.
"Got it!" The man flicked his finger and a gold coin popped up, then flipped it dozens of times and held it in his palm again: "You can buy it directly at the shipping center in the city with 50 silver coins."
Luo Xi nodded: "Then I won't disturb you from working."
After saying that, he stepped back and prepared to return the same way.
At this moment, Luo Xi seemed to remember something and patted his forehead. "Oh, right, I'm No. 79, which means you have done at least 78 orders of the same business, so Fairy Tale Town also has a similar restart mechanism. I originally thought that the trigger point for the restart should be Cinderella's wedding in the fairy tale plot, but since there is an option that can successfully prevent Cinderella from attending the ball, it must not be the wedding, but time. Regular restart, so you just need to put the bodies on the roof or somewhere else, and then they will disappear on their own."
After saying that, Luo Xi left.
Only the man in gray clothes was left.
The latter was stunned for a long time before he looked down at the gold coins in his hand.
"Should I not do this deal? Or should I kill him right now?"
The idea was strong at first.
But soon, he was pulled by other concerns, just like a car with its brakes applied, and finally, he stopped steadily on the side of the road.
The next moment, his figure slowly disappeared, as if blending into the surrounding air.
Luo Xi found the mad lion who was still guarding the back alley obediently.
"Is there a card that can conceal one's figure and breath?" Luo Xi asked.
"Yes." The mad lion nodded.
"You go up, the little girl inside is Cinderella."
"The one from the fairy tale?"
"Yes." "Brother, what do I need to do?"
"Just keep an eye on it, and I'll be back in a bit."
"Where are you going? Back to the flower shop?"
"No, we won't go back to the flower shop anymore." Luo Xi waved her hand.
The crazy lion didn't ask any more questions and he entered the house.
Luo Xi needs to go to the Dark Furnace Bar.
As for Cinderella, there is Mad Lion watching over her for now, so there won't be any problems.
According to the map, the old town is not far from here. It requires crossing a city district. If you go fast, you can get there in about ten minutes.
Luo Xi did not waste any time on the way and reached his destination in just over half the time planned.
The Darkhearth Tavern.
Just as 'Gray Clothes' said, this place is easy to find.
The sign is hanging on the door with the word 'AL' in big letters.
Luo Xi thought it would be troublesome to enter the pub, but in fact, nothing he worried about happened.
The bar was bustling.
It is easy to tell who is the local and who is the Memory Picker player here.
At Node 2, money plays a big role.
Luo Xi easily got one-on-one service from a receptionist at the Darkfurnace Tavern. He was seated in a quiet area inside where he would not be disturbed, and he did not have to worry about being overheard during his conversation.
"It is important to note that after nightfall, many patrol guards will be added to each city area. Once you encounter them, your identity will be checked and you will be ordered to return to your residence."
"If you are still wandering the streets after 8pm, you will be arrested regardless of whether you have identification or not, and nine out of ten times you will be hanged on the gallows the next day."
The receptionist was a woman, and judging from her dress, she was no different from the locals.
She wore a long, low-cut skirt, and her cleavage was very eye-catching. She even dyed her hair, which looked a bright red.
Luo Xi listened carefully and thought to himself that no wonder the flower shop owner asked them to return before eight o'clock.
Luo Xi also asked about the flower shop from the side.
The receptionist said she wasn't quite sure either, but reminded Luo Xi that there were always some mysterious things in the city.
"Here, you must keep a low profile and don't provoke anyone you think is not a threat, even if the other party looks vulnerable." The receptionist was very conscientious.
Because Luo Xi gave her several silver coins.
Here, the purchasing power of silver coins is very strong. Luo Xi began to wonder if his previous spending at 'Gray Clothes' was a bit extravagant.
However, from the receptionist's side knock, Luo Xi also knew that the flower shop owner was not simple.
Because the flower shop owner is very mysterious and there is a sense of unknown oppression, even if Luo Xi does not find the protagonist of this fairy tale, Cinderella, he does not plan to return to the flower shop.
Because he and Crazy Lion were fakes to begin with, if they were discovered by the other party, they would probably get into other troubles.
It is now 7:20 in the evening, and Luo Xi plans to return to Cinderella's residence before 8 o'clock.
As for continuing to wander around the city after eight o'clock, Luo Xi did not intend to try it.
The receptionist gave a very serious warning in this regard.
"The guards in the city have all been strengthened with special powers. You just arrived at Node 2, so you have no idea how powerful those guards are. They are so powerful that they don't seem like normal humans. In addition, some of them raise a special kind of falcon. These falcons have extremely sharp perceptions. Even if you use some card abilities to hide your body, they will still be found by them."
The receptionist glanced at Luo Xi and said with a smile, "If you don't have a place to stay, staying in the bar for the time being is a good choice. Alternatively, you can come to my place and I'll give you a 20% discount!"
After saying that, she squeezed her chest and threw a wink.
"If I have a chance, I will go, but not today." Luo Xi checked the time: "Also, about the boat ticket..."
"You can buy the ticket for No. 6 directly at the Shipping Center, but it costs 50 silver coins. For No. 4 and 5, we have exclusive channels at the Dark Furnace Bar. The cost is indeed not small, but it is definitely worth it. It only costs 1 gold coin or some functional cards. Of course, gold coins are the best, but this service requires reservations and queuing, which just leaves you time to make money."
Just like what 'Gray Clothes' said.
From another perspective, the other party did not deceive you.
"So, what fairy tales are the nodes corresponding to tickets No. 4, 5, and 6?"
"This will cost extra." Before the receptionist could finish her words, Luo Xi had already placed a few silver coins on the table.
"Number 4 is the candy house, number 5 is Snow White and the seven dwarfs, number 6 is Alibaba and the Forty Thieves." The female receptionist introduced them like she knew them all.
Obviously this information is not a particularly important secret.
"What's the degree of danger?" Luo Xi asked again.
"Of course they each have their own merits. However, since obtaining the tickets for nodes 4 and 5 is related to Cinderella herself, not many people have been able to enter these two nodes so far. As for node 6, although it is easy to obtain, the node world is too dangerous and is not a suitable environment for survival."
