Chapter 187 Red Tomato Tavern

"As you can imagine, a 'white rat man' like A Zhi is in a very awkward situation in the city - if you say he is a rat man, but his heart is more like a human being, he doesn't get along with those criminals in the gutter, if you say he is a human , but has a rat face, which looks very different in the crowd. This embarrassing situation makes the white rat people unpopular in both rat-man society and human society, and they are forced to become a group of people living in urban slums and sewers. Marginal people, fortunately, Pei Luo gave them an optimistic and open-minded attitude, otherwise, I really don’t know how to survive.”

Xiao Miao sighed, and there was a touch of sympathy in her words.

"That's because we white rat people know how to be grateful. Whenever the warm sunshine shines on my body, I feel very happy and all my troubles disappear." Ah Zhi crossed his hands on his chest and prayed devoutly: "Praise the fraternal and merciful me host."

"Ah Chi, I've always been puzzled why a pious person like you didn't become a priest or a paladin of the sun god Pelor, but instead became a thief... Uh, I mean a 'wanderer'." Javier hurriedly Change your tune.

"Things are hard, Mr. Havel. For a person like me, who can't pass the seminary exam, and the churches and monasteries in the city refuse to accept me, how can I be promoted to the clergy? I can only make ends meet by petty theft look."

Ah Zhi shrugged and spread his hands, sighing.

"I don't deny my past disgraceful history, but I don't just take anyone's wallet. There is still a bottom line of robbing the rich and giving to the poor."

"This is not bragging, 'Grand Thief' Ah Zhi is quite famous in the port area and the slums." Xiao Miao said.

"Sister Meow, I'm curious, how did you become friends with Ah Zhi?" Qiao An couldn't help asking.

"Do you think it's awkward for 'cat' and 'mouse' to get together?"

Xiao Miao glanced at Ah Zhi in disgust.

"Actually, it's not just you who think so, I also feel very awkward, but I can't help it. Both Azhi and I are field reporters hired by the "Leiton Post". Ah Zhi made a pair together, and said that it was very 'joyful', I really don't understand the evil taste of old women!"

"Xiao Miao, you are talking bad things about Eldest Sister behind her back. Unless you buy me a drink, don't blame me for telling Eldest Sister to punish you to go to her office to catch mice."

Ah Zhi laughed a little bit.

"If you dare to make a small report, I will pluck your beard off!"

Xiao Miao gave Ah Zhi a fierce look, and then said to Joan:

"Two years ago, this white mouse killed himself and stole a magic crystal shotgun from our boss's collection. I caught him before he slipped out of the newspaper office, beat him up, and dragged him back to Sister Miranda by the tail. In front of me, Sister Miranda was soft-hearted, not only did not care about him, but also gave him the gun. This guy was very touched. Since then, he has been living in the newspaper office for a living. It is my bad luck to work with him. hold me back."

"What does it mean to be a fool?" Ah Zhi raised his beard in displeasure, and retorted to Catwoman: "My imposing 'Prince of the Sewer', 'Slum Robber', being a small field reporter is simply overqualified. It's not that I take care of you all the time, just relying on your recklessness, even if you have nine lives, you are dead!"

"Okay, okay, enough is enough for the two of you, bickering every time we meet, it gives me a headache." Javier interrupted the cat-and-mouse dispute angrily, and smiled wryly at Joan: "These two guys are living treasures, they Another partner is a kobold, and the three of them together are a comedy scene.”

Catwoman, Ratman, and Kobold... What a wonderful combination!

Qiao An found it funny just by imagining it.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Xiao Miao jumped onto the chair and excitedly moved to Joan's side, "Have you finished what you promised me?"

"certainly."

Joan touched the storage bag, took out a cloth bag from it, placed it on the counter and opened it carefully.

The rapier and dagger exuding magical fluctuations immediately attracted Xiaomiao's attention, and she jumped forward with surprise and pulled out the rapier. The slender and sharp blade shone with a dark red luster, and a scorching breath rushed towards her face.

"This is a +1 rapier enchanted with the dual effects of 'Blazing Flame' and 'Extremely Far'. After activating the spell, the blade can shoot out a five-foot-long flame."

Qiao An first introduced the special effects of enchanting the rapier to Xiao Miao, and then pulled out the wide dagger.

The thick blade exudes a chilly air, and the edge of the blade has a frost-like texture, which makes people shudder when they look at it.

"The enchanting effect of this dagger is similar to that of the rapier, but it has been changed to the frost attribute. Sister Meow, do these two weapons suit you?"

"Satisfied! I'm so satisfied! It's beyond my imagination!" Xiao Miao touched the rapier, picked up the dagger again, praised repeatedly, turned around and hugged Joan suddenly, and kissed him loudly on the cheek, He said gratefully: "Thank you for building such a great weapon for me! Let's go to the Red Tomato Tavern, sister Miao invites you to drink!"

"It's free..."

Joan wiped the lip marks on his cheeks, and was searching for an excuse to excuse him, but the enthusiastic Catwoman had already dragged him up involuntarily.

"Let's go! Let's go! I'll take you to meet a friend—you two are nerds and you're sure to hit it off!"

"But I don't know how to drink..."

"What if a man can't drink? It's rare that Xiao Miao takes the initiative to treat guests. Let's get drunk!" Ah Zhi waved his fist, full of fighting spirit.

"Joan, it's the weekend anyway, it's not bad for you to see the world, and it won't hurt to make more friends." Javier persuaded with a smile.

Since everyone said so, it was really hard for Qiao An to shirk. What's more, he was more or less yearning for the most prestigious tavern in Leiden Port, "Red Tomato", thinking that he could go to the tavern to see the reward notice, maybe he could find a job that made a lot of money, so he reluctantly nodded and followed the little boy. Meow and Azhi took the public carriage to the dock area where the tavern is located.

...

The "Red Tomato" tavern located in the wharf area of ​​Leiden Harbor is the most famous hotel and tavern in Leiden City.

The barroom smelled of tobacco, ale and wine all day long. A few drunken sailors were snoring on the bar, and others were stumbling around with oak glasses. Sailors would drink until they ran out of money, and were finally thrown in the street because they had no money, and fled back to the ship in dismay.

In addition to ordinary drunks, "Red Tomato" is also a place where professional adventurers gather. They exchanged information in the bar, checked the reward notices, and occasionally dictated their adventures to the newspaper reporters who stayed in the tavern from morning to night as writing materials.
