Chapter 454 Rumors
Rejecting Naomi's request to help lead the way, it was a rare thing for Tang Sen to get lost.
Moreover, with the Mark of the Dark Lord, he could easily find the location of the pastor of the Serre Revival Church.
The streets of Ximen City were crowded with people, but Tang Sen's changed appearance did not attract anyone's attention.
Now is the most lively time. From time to time, Tang Sen can hear passers-by discussing about the Emerald docked at the port. He heard that the nobles prepared a rare grand banquet and invited everyone on the Emerald to attend——
Of course, this does not include the ordinary passengers on the lower deck of the airship. These people are not of much value to the nobles.
However, these ordinary passengers will probably be everywhere in the taverns of Ximen City tonight, telling the legendary stories they witnessed over and over again.
Legendary black dragons and golden dragons, demons all over the mountains and plains, the powerful dwarf warrior Baan, meteor bursts falling from the sky and strange spellcasters with long swords on their waists.
When Tang Sen came to a remote tavern, he heard exactly this story.
"That is a legendary level demon! I even suspect it is a certain abyss lord!"
A halfling with an open chest slapped the table hard, spitting flying: "Just standing there is dozens of feet high. Even just exhaling is enough to destroy a small half of Ximen City!"
"Moreover, it has dozens of Balot Balrogs under its command. Do you know what a Balot Balrog is, right?"
"Is it such an exaggeration?" An audience member looked hesitant: "Why is it that the version I heard only has three, no, five-headed Balor Balrogs?"
"That's a rumor! I saw it with my own eyes!" The halfling glanced at him dissatisfied and said, "I can guarantee that if it weren't for the great dwarf Barn, those demons would have come to Ximen City now. Think about it. Well, who else can stop these demons? Even a giant dragon is as fragile as a lizard in front of these demons."
"No. Wasn't the demon defeated by a giant dragon? I heard it was a black dragon that could control thunder——"
"The dragon is just assisting. The main force is of course the dwarf Bane." The halfling quickly interrupted him: "You can't imagine that every time he swings the war hammer in his hand, he will kill thousands of demons. Those Balor The Balrog couldn't even withstand his hammer, I'm sure it was a legendary dwarf warrior!"
"What about the mage Cui Xi?" A drinker joined the conversation with great interest: "I heard that she is a young nine-ring mage. Everyone who got off the airship praised her appearance."
"Of course, I have met the mage Trish and even had a drink with her." The halfling took a sip of wine and said somewhat unsteadily: "As a tiefling mage, she is indeed worthy of praise, but -"
"Wait, tiefling? How did I hear that Trish was a pure human?"
"Isn't it an elf?"
The topic quickly turned to other directions.
To Tang Sen's expectation, these exaggerated and even fabricated words did not mention himself much, and even talked about the golden dragon more than Smaug - people seemed to be instinctively unwilling to give credit for defeating the demon. On a black dragon and its controller.
He shook his head and ignored these rumors.
He could feel that the priest's position was just below the tavern. Obviously, this tavern was not as simple as it looked.
Tang Sen did not recklessly find a way to find it. If this place was really a stronghold of the Serre Revival Society, his behavior would easily conflict with those red-robed mages, which was not in line with his original intention.
He just sent a message to the priest through the Mark of the Dark Lord.
Then he walked to the bar and knocked on the table: "Have a glass of ale."
The bartender looked at Tang Sen up and down. At this time, Tang Sen was wearing a black robe and looked like a traveler who came to Ximen City for the first time.
"Would you like a taste of the local specialty ale? A large cup only costs one silver coin."
Tang Sen nodded.
After serving the wine, the bartender couldn't help but start chatting. Most of them asked about gossip like where he was from and what he was going to do in Ximen City. Tang Sen just responded with a few answers. Why is the pub the best place to ask for information? The location is because news flows quickly here, and people who drink are very gossipy.
The seemingly innocuous questions asked by the bartender may be useful at some point, for example, if someone happens to want to find the relevant person - and he can make a fortune.
At this time, the side door opened with a creak, and two figures walked in.
Tang Sen noticed that the bartender glanced over there without any trace, but he still maintained his natural appearance.
Tang Sen did not turn his head, but heard footsteps approaching, and then a familiar voice said to the bartender: "Two glasses of wine."
Then another voice sounded: "Milos, can't you just ask them to send them down instead of coming up here?"
"I have nothing to do to listen to the news. There are a lot of rumors recently." The man named Milos sat directly next to Tang Sen.
"Milos?" Tang Sen raised his eyebrows slightly. The other party was the nail he had driven into the Serre Revival Meeting. Because he had no idea about Serre and Sazastan at the time, Tang Sen didn't ask at all. The other person’s name.
Until now, he didn't know that his mark bearer was called Milos.
Milos did not say hello to Tang Sen, which Tang Sen had already explained, but he did know that the blue-eyed stranger sitting at the bar was his master.
Tang Sen doesn’t want to expose his relationship with Milos for the time being.
Milos's companion was obviously a little worried about the person sitting at the bar. He didn't speak until the drinks were served, until Milos took the initiative to speak and said: "I heard that there is no one among the people on the Emerald. Looking for someone."
His words were vague, but his companions naturally knew that he was talking about Serge, so he replied casually: "How can someone who is so valued by the traitor be found so easily."
"The superiors also attach great importance to them. After so many years, it is the first time that traitors have shown such great interest in people from the outside world."
"If they are found, what are they going to do?" Milos said in a casual tone.
"Who knows?" The other person's tone was more casual: "You have to know what they want from them, right?"
Milos wanted to say something more, but the man had already interrupted: "After drinking this drink, go back quickly. A large number of people from there have arrived in Ximen City recently, and the rumors even include-"
He gestured.
"We have to be as cautious as possible."
With that said, he glanced at Tang Sen and said:
"Even the slightest possibility of leakage cannot be tolerated."
