Chapter 72 Hamm's Tavern
"Guru! What do you guys eat? The horse meat bran cakes here are very popular. You can get a glass of water for each horse meat bran cake.Guru!"
A thin goblin ran over in small steps, a flattering smile was squeezed out on his wrinkled face, and enthusiastically recommended the special dishes of his own tavern.
But before the two women answered, a young man sat over and said mockingly: "Two ladies, follow my advice, don't order the horse meat bran cake here. Although I have to admit that the horse meat bran cake tastes good, it takes a lot of water to swallow it, and you will soon feel thirsty and need to drink a lot of water.
You know where this place is, water is a very precious thing.”
The young man has some orc blood, his skin is blue, and when he speaks, he can see four slightly longer beast teeth. His body is very strong, and his exposed arms are full of strong muscles.
He was wearing a patched leather armor, and the lining inside was sewn from various cloth pieces. What was noticeable was a wide-blade sword on his back. Just looking at the exaggerated appearance, you can tell that it was not something that ordinary people could control. The wide-blade sword was carefully wrapped by oil cloth, which shows his master's love for it.
When the goblin saw that the young man had actually ruined his business, he immediately cursed: "Guru! You half-orc, a green skin with a bad mouth! Ham just now, he allowed you to delay the repayment of the money and gave you a bag of water.
You dare to slander the reputation of our Ham Tavern, especially the reputation of horse meat bran cakes.
Horse meat bran cake is the best thing, everyone said, right? Guru!"
In order to restore the reputation of his own horse meat bran cake, the goblin loudly asked other customers in the store.
But a customer complained: "Yes, among all the unpalatable foods here, horse meat bran cakes are delicious. But you used too much salt. Last time I ate a horse meat bran cake and drank a whole bag of water."
"Guru! Salt is added to make it store for longer, and we gave away water, Guru!"
"But the water you give is only enough to moisten your throat." The young orc pointed out the trick of the profiteer and said to the woman: "Two ladies, I can see that you are coming from afar, and it is probably the first time to come to Halmutu.
I remind you that this place is still a long way from the nearest oasis. And because of the harvest festival, many sand thieves are preparing to make a fortune during this period.
You need a guide who is familiar with Halmutu, and it is best that he can also act as a bodyguard.
My name is Kelhain, and I have the fine lineage of humans and orcs. Hire me and you can get a safe and comfortable journey.”
The orc Kelhalin was very hard to sell himself. He was penniless when he came to Jiaomu Camp and needed some money to pay off his debt before supporting him.
He could see that the two women who came in were rich people, and the fabric on their clothes was not affordable to ordinary people.
At this time, the two women opened their hoods together to reveal their appearance, and they stunned everyone in the tavern.
Female elves and female humans, they all have beautiful appearances and delicate skin, and their intellectual eyes are incompatible with this tavern in the dust.
Especially the female elf, it makes people unable to see her.
"Hello, half-orc Kelhalin, I am the elf Qingkong. This is my follower Jenfanie. Thank you for your kind reminder." Qingkong turned to the dumb goblin and said, "Two horse meat bran cakes, the cup of water should be big."
The beauty of the clear sky is very infectious and can resonate with the aesthetics of various races. Even the goblins seem to see a beautiful oasis after crossing the desert.
What's more, two pieces of horse meat bran cakes were sold.
"Guru! The beautiful Elf Miss, and the beautiful Human Miss, two of the most delicious horse bran cakes in Ham Tavern, will be sent to you immediately... and the sweet water you will be given. Guru!"
The goblin ran quickly to the kitchen with small steps.
The rest of the tavern are still paying attention to Qingsun and Jenfony.
Kelhain was also attracted by the beauty of the clear sky and couldn't help but praise: "I have seen many elves on my journey,
But you are the most special. You must be a noble magician or scholar, and I will not read it wrong."
Qingkong did not respond to Kelhain's guess, but said: "We do need a guide, and the destination is the ancestor grassland on the west side of the Halmutu Basin.
Because we have to travel day and night in a hurry, and we still need to take the most convenient path. Can you be competent?"
When he heard the two ladies going to the ancestor grassland, Kelhain did not agree immediately, but said: "The ancestor grassland is a place of blessing formed by the death and collapse of the World Tree. Many rivers in the West are from the ancestor grassland. The elves and orcs there have been mixed together for a long time and are very aggressive in their personalities. They will not be close to you just because you are also an elves.
If you are interested in the World Tree ruins, I advise you to give up this idea. All World Tree ruins, even if they are dead branches of a World Tree, have grassland elves tribes nearby. Once they are regarded as invasion, there is only a dead end."
When Kelhain introduced the danger in the grassland of ancestors, the goblin brought two plates of horse meat bran cakes and two large ale glasses.
Qingkong looked at the horse meat bran cake in front of him, without any appetite.
This thing is to break the horse meat first, then mix the bran and marinate and air-dried, and finally smoke and roast it. You can eat it directly when it needs to be eaten, but it is best to heat it up, otherwise it is like gnawing a stone.
The two horse meat bran cakes were a big black piece, full of weight and the aroma was tempting. Kelhain, who smelled the fragrance, couldn't help swallowing. Although he had just tried his best to belittle the horse meat bran cakes, this was something he couldn't afford.
As for the water given away.
The cup is very big, but the water only covers the bottom of the cup, which can only moisten the throat.
Qingkong picked up the water cup and sprinkled it outwards. The slightest bit of water fell on the dry ground and was instantly sucked by the soil layer.
Kelhain couldn't help but exclaim, looking at the little traces of water left on the ground and said regretfully: "Miss Elf, you think the water is dirty, you can give it to me."
Jenfony poured out the water from her cup at this time.
Kylehain shouted, "No, you can get here, don't you know how precious water is?"
Qingkong ignored Kyle Hain. She took out a glass bottle, and the bottle body that was stalked with one hand was filled with pure blue liquid. As the swaying liquid was shaking, circles of halos were radiating.
Kelhain is a real product. I know that this is definitely a very expensive magic prop, but I just don’t know what it does.
He stared at the bottle in Qingkong's hand, watching a drop of blue liquid poured into the water cup. Then the blue halo rushed up from the bottom of the cup like a spring, and then the blue mist spilled out along the edge of the cup.
Qingkong complained: "I asked the goblins to get the big cup, but it's still so small!"
As the words of clear sky fell, the blue fog suddenly turned into water, rushing upward from the cup. Clear sky released a magic spell, and the overflowing water turned into a water flowing into Jenfony's cup.
The water stopped producing until Jenfony's cup was filled.
Many people in the tavern stood up when they saw this scene, their eyes full of greedy eyes. Just a drop of that liquid can produce so much water. The full bottle of liquid is a supreme treasure in the desert.
Qingkong casually placed the bottle on the table: "The essence of water element is contained in it. As long as you are willing to take us to the grassland of our ancestors, it will be yours."
Qingkong picked up the water cup and took a sip, proving that the water was harmless.
Qingkong knows where the ancestors' grassland is, but in the game, they are "flying" all the way through teleportation. If you walk on two legs, it is easy to go for a second. Therefore, it is necessary to hire a guide, which can save a lot of time and reduce unnecessary trouble.
Kylehain was afraid of clear sky and regretted it, so he grabbed the water element essence bottle: "I took this business! My hometown is the grassland of ancestors, and I promise to send you safely."
"Very good, eat these, we're ready to go." Qingkong pushed two pieces of horse meat bran cakes in front of Kelhain.
Kelhain asked in surprise: "I, I ate, what do you eat?"
“We bring food.”
"Thank you!" Kelhain picked up a horse bran cake and ate it. He also called the goblin to ask him to get a large glass of wine.
Only a very light wine was given a full mouthful of horse meat bran cake. The comfort and enjoyment made Kelhain look satisfied. He hadn't eaten so much for a long time.
After completing this task, find a place to sell the bottle of water element essence. Not only can you pay off the debt, but you can also live a good life comfortably for a long time.
No, you can't sell out the essence of water element at once...
Kylehain was planning his future good days with a big sip, and then saw Jenfuni take out several cylindrical iron cans and put them on the table, then take out a dagger to cut the iron can along the edge.
Then various fragrances spread out from the gaps in the iron can.
Kelhain took a deep breath of the smell and immediately felt that the horse meat bran cake in his hand was no longer fragrant.
"What is this?"
Qingkong replied: "Can food can be sealed."
Jenfony opened a few cans, and the variety shocked Kylehain's eyes.
Stewed meat soaked in the soup, moist and juicy vegetables, and precious fruit salads…
There is even a can of sea fish.
With a meow, a black cat jumped out of nowhere and jumped onto the table. He squatted down coldly and said dissatisfiedly: "I smell the fish. Should I start eating? I'm hungry!"
Then Jenfony, under Kylehain's stare, placed a box of canned fish in front of the black cat.
The black cat dared to eat such a precious sea fish. Kelhain just wanted to pull out his knife and cut his cat's head with one knife.
When Jenfony used fire-attribute magic to heat the cans that needed to be heated, the aroma became even more intense, which made everyone in the tavern feel excited.
But both elves and human women are obviously magicians, and if they want to move, they must first weigh their own weight.
Moreover, the owner of the tavern, Ham, has come from the kitchen to the front desk. The strong orc who can open the tavern here has nothing to do with his proud cooking skills.
After listening to the goblins telling what happened here, Ham walked to Qingkong's table.
Ham has grass-green skin and is 2.2 meters tall. He has a barbarian braid on his head, earrings and nose rings, and his two fangs stretch out from the corner of his mouth. He is wearing a greasy and carbon black apron, his exposed upper body is full of muscle mass, with totems and runes tattoos on it.
Ham looked down at the clear sky, Jenfony and the black cat said in a clock-like voice: "With water and fresh food, Ham Tavern hasn't received such a big shot in a long time.
There is news that there will be many bad things happening this year's Harvest Festival, and it seems that the news is likely to be true.
Two ladies, you are going to the grassland of our ancestors. Can I know the purpose of your trip?”
Kylehain stood up and confronted Ham: "Mr. Ham, these two ladies are my employers. They are not provoking trouble and will pay for food and chairs for rest.
Please don't bother the ladies to have a meal, we'll leave after we finish eating."
Ham glanced at Kylehain: "Boy, you get too high a reward and take on unknown tasks will kill you. You know that the elves of the ancestors' grasslands don't like foreign elves, especially those fierce battle songs, which will kill anything they think will destroy the ruins of the World Tree. uu reads www.uukanshu.com "
Then Ham said to Qingkong: "I don't know what you big guys are coming to Halmutu for. Please don't involve us inferior people who are flipping through the sand and eating.
I will ask Kelhain to return your things to you, and also exempt you from the expenses here. Please leave after the rest."
Qingkong didn't look at Ham. She was eating canned with a fork and responded: "Yes, the choice of commission is two-way. I will not force anyone to take us to the ancestors' grassland. I believe that in this room, there will definitely be someone who will be willing to accept this task for a bottle of water element essence."
Ham said to Kelhain, "Give it back to this Elf Miss."
"No!" Kelhain refused decisively: "Ham, Miss Elf is right. As long as I give up, the people in the room will rush to take on this task. But no one here knows the grasslands of the ancestors better than me. I know how to safely bring them to where they want to go."
At this time, the sheriff had eaten a box of canned fish. He licked his paws and washed his face, and said in a contemptuous tone: "Silly orc, don't know that the orc was taken care of by the goddess of luck today.
Being able to be recruited as a follower by the great Sky Host is a turning point in his life. From today on, both ordinary and poverty will be far away, and strength and honor will accompany him.
Kneel down and offer your loyalty to the stewardess!”
Kylehain corrected: "This is employment! I am not the entourage of the Sky Host, and when I arrive at the destination, the employment relationship ends."
The sheriff said regretfully: "That's a pity. You originally had the opportunity to change your destiny. Of course, during the employment relationship, you can sworn allegiance at any time and transform into a stewardess' entourage."
Kylehain really wanted to chop the cat's head and kick it out again.
