Chapter 210 Moonlight Tavern
"Welcome, foreigners. If you want to enter the city, you have to pay two gold coins."
The two walked forward slowly. The leader at the city gate quickly stepped forward. After taking a look at the two people's dress, he didn't feel any surprise and said enthusiastically.
The mainstream currency here is gold. Cao Xiaochun and Di Hanxi looked at each other. They didn't seem to have gold coins.
In desperation, Cao Xiaochun took out a spiritual stone and handed it over gently.
"Is this okay?"
Although this spiritual stone is only the size of a fingernail, its value cannot be measured by two gold coins.
"Of course, dear foreigners, but we don't have extra gold coins to replenish you. Do you really want to use spiritual stones, which are far more valuable, instead of gold coins as the entrance fee?"
The moment he saw the spiritual stones, the leader's eyes lit up. It was just like what Tai Nai said, these foreigners were generous.
Seeing this, Cao Xiaochun seemed to understand why this person was so enthusiastic about them. It turned out that he had long guessed that foreigners didn't have gold coins at all!
I didn't bother with him too much, threw the spirit stone on the table, and the two slowly went into the city again.
Faro Bay is not a town, but a huge port. There is only one huge road in the whole city, with countless houses on both sides, lined up, and basically there are shops on both sides of the road, as well as caravans transporting supplies to the port.
As soon as the two came in, they heard a burst of shouting, which seemed very lively.
"Come and see, sister is going to break your weapon!"
A huge refining furnace was placed on the side of the road, and a girl greeted passers-by enthusiastically. However, looking at her, although she was extremely pure, the temperament of a profiteer was clearly visible in her eyes.
"Come on, let's exchange money for money!"
"Look at the unique SS here, the only yellow variety."
"Look at these exquisite jewelry, it's free to look, but I have to pay to look at me."
"Feel the magic of nature!"
"Why don't you have a pet yet..."
"God rewards hard work, I hope you don't slack off on the road of cultivation..."
...
The two were not interested in the shops on the roadside. Di Hanxi's purpose was very clear. He walked quickly to the middle of the street and stopped when he saw the words "Moonlight Tavern".
"If you want to enter the Sky City, you have to let the soldiers in front of you pass first, so we need an introducer. Generally, where letters of introduction are needed, those merchants will choose local taverns, and those owners are happy to help them."
The two pushed open the small door of the tavern. Soft music was playing inside, which looked very warm. Several aborigines who looked like merchants were drinking malt liquor. As the alcohol entered their mouths, the fatigue on their bodies seemed to be swept away.
Standing at the bar was a tall blond elf in a red dress, with a charming look in her eyes.
"Oh, you are here, would you like a glass of refreshing wine? Our wine is the best in the entire continent."
Suo Xiya saw Cao Xiaochun and the others and smiled warmly.
"Hello, beautiful ladies."
Cao Xiaochun greeted them warmly and ordered two glasses, thinking about how to open the topic.
"Two foreigners, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly. I will chat with you for free."
Suo Xiya slowly poured out two glasses of red wine. As the owner of the tavern, her eyes were extremely sharp. She knew very well that these two people came here to ask for something.
"Excuse me, boss, how can we get the certificate to go to the Sky City?"
Hearing this, Di Hanxi did not have the patience of Cao Xiaochun, and immediately went straight to the point.
"Sky City?"
"It seems that you are not businessmen."
Suo Xiya held her cheeks and smiled gently.
"Sky City is a military controlled area and a forbidden area on this continent. To go there, you need a pass and sign a life and death contract, but no one can guarantee what will happen to people who go there."
"What should I do to get a pass?"
The two didn't care much about the contract. Now the key is how to get the pass.
"I can help you with this, but before that, two adventurers, tell me your adventure stories. I like to listen to stories."
Socia didn't say much because the two were going to a forbidden area. In fact, although Sky City is a controlled area, many natives still go there every year. In order to survive, they fight monsters in it and exchange materials for meager wages.
For example, many of the materials for brewing in their own tavern come from Sky City.
"Tell a story?"
The two couldn't help but feel a little confused about Sosia's request. They thought that if they wanted to get a pass, they had to pay some money, but it was the first time they encountered a really strange request.
"Yes, the boss likes to hear stories. Two adventurers, tell us about your experiences."
"If it's interesting, the boss will buy you a drink!"
The people sitting nearby smiled and said, in fact, many people like to come here and exchange their past experiences or recent events for a glass of wine.
Seeing this, Di Hanxi turned to look at Cao Xiaochun. Obviously, she didn't know how to do this. Next, it depends on your performance.
Cao Xiaochun looked around and laughed. Although this request was a bit strange, telling stories was not difficult for him.
"In that case, I will tell you about the dungeon I experienced before."
"This dungeon is the first dungeon I experienced when I just awakened. Its name is Gran Forest."
No one noticed that when Suo Xiya heard this name, her hand holding the wine glass trembled unconsciously.
For the next two hours, Cao Xiaochun briefly talked about the environment and monsters in Gran Forest, such as goblins, cat demons, weeping Keno, etc., and everyone listened with relish.
"Hahahaha, are there species like goblins outside? Are they like Sherlock on the street, wearing slim clothes, but actually a liar!"
"No, they don't have such high intelligence..."
Time passed quickly, and Cao Xiaochun's story came to an end. The merchants and adventurers generously treated the two to a few glasses of wine, and Suo Xiya at the bar smiled softly.
"Perhaps, they were once the praised forest guards."
After saying something for no reason, she slowly took out a bone token from under the bar.
"Two adventurers, take this, the soldiers will let you go, but I advise you to go to the street corner to find Ophelia."
"She is a member of the GBL Church. Over the years, the Sky City has changed a lot. Talk to her, and your journey may be smoother."
After saying that, Suo Xiya looked at Cao Xiaochun for a long time.
"Finally, I hope that when you come back, you can come and talk to me again. This is my personal request."
