Chapter 10 Livelihood

The next day, Kewen woke up with a splitting headache.

Half-sitting up, he covered his head and groaned for a moment, then took out a bottle of alcohol from his pocket and drank it all in one gulp.

After a while, the alcohol hit my head, which not only suppressed the feeling of comfort in my body again, but also numbed the hangover headache.

No wonder some people say that the best way to relieve the sequelae of a hangover is to drink...

After using magic spells to cleanse his whole body, Kewen opened the door and left the room, going down the stairs.

As soon as he reached the middle of the stairs, several voices sounded, and they all greeted him with warm smiles.

Ke Wen rubbed his forehead, staggered down the stairs, and walked all the way to the bar at the door of the kitchen.

After sitting down, Ke Wen said to the bar owner who was wiping his wine glass: "Boss, bring me some food and some wine."

"Okay, Mr. Quinn." The bar owner responded with a smile, but then added: "But sir, the dwarf spirits were sold out last night, and we can only restock them from Stormwind City in the evening.

Can I give you another one?"

In order to maintain his character, Coven asked: "Are there any strong spirits?"

"Dwarven mead."

The boss turned around and took a full glass from the wine barrel with a wooden cup, and pushed the wine glass with a lot of foam in front of Ke Wen: "Try this, although it is not as good as 'Dwarf Spirits', but it is better than

Other wines are stronger."

Ke Wen picked up the wine glass, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

The taste is actually good, the alcohol content is relatively high, but it doesn't burn the throat as much as the 'Dwarf Spirits', and it also has a little bit of sweetness.

Soon, a hot feeling spread from his stomach and esophagus. Ke Wen burped and put down the empty glass, pushed it back to the boss and said, "That's it, a few more glasses!"

The boss responded with a smile, received several glasses of mead for Ke Wen, then walked out of the bar and went to the kitchen to arrange meals.

Ke Wen turned around and glanced at the empty hall, and then asked a waitress who happened to be walking over: "What time is it outside? Is business not good today?"

"Your Majesty Queen~" the waiter said with a friendly smile: "It's only morning, and no one will come to our place for entertainment until evening."

"Oh..." Ke Wen nodded and asked again: "Who are those uh... people who drank with me yesterday?"

"Natanally and the others?" the waiter reminded.

"Yes, it's them." Ke Wen asked, pretending to have lost his memory: "Where have they gone? I remember saying yesterday that if I got drunk, I would continue to invite everyone to drink today."

The waiter smiled more friendly: "They went out for an adventure. I heard them say in the morning that they were going to look around the gold mine to see if they could find the kobolds who stole the gold."

Ke Wen was slightly stunned and reacted instantly.

That's right, it's not a game now. Several mines in Elwynn Forest are still under the control of Stormwind City, and they are not occupied by kobolds like in the game...

Soon after the food arrived, Ke Wen tasted it and could only say that it was barely edible.

He doesn't like the sour and greasy feeling of cheese, just like he doesn't like the greasy taste of durian.

However, his character was that of an alcoholic wandering mage, so he could only suppress his appetite and ate up the plate of food in front of him.

Next, while there were no customers in the store, Ke Wen began to inquire about the information from the hotel owner on the second floor and the bar owner on the first floor.

He didn't ask any sensitive questions, he only asked some gossip, and then mixed some issues about the situation in the kingdom into it.

As we chatted at noon, customers began to arrive in the store.

The boss was busy entertaining the guests, and Ke Wen went upstairs to the guest room.

Sitting by the window and looking out at the town, Kewen was sorting out all the information in his mind.

Through communication, we learned that there has not yet been an invasion of orcs with the opening of the 'Dark Portal', and there is peace within the kingdom.

The biggest news I got from the shopkeepers was that the king had established an outpost somewhere to garrison troops.

Ke Wen wanted to find out if the 'Dark Portal' had been established, but this was the real world, and the area where the Dark Portal was located was not yet called the 'Cursed Land'.

Moreover, the huge 'Dark Portal' was only built after the invasion of the orcs, but now nothing can be seen in the past.

As a result, Ke Wen gave up the idea. It had nothing to do with him anyway, and it didn't matter whether he confirmed the time or not...

When it was almost time for dinner, the carriage sent by the bar owner to Stormwind City to replenish supplies returned.

At the same time, the group of adventurers who had a drink with Ke Wen last night also returned to the "Pride of the Lion King" as if they were stepping on a meal.

A group of adventurers who had returned from their travels discovered Ke Wen as soon as they entered the hotel lobby.

The strong man sitting on the right side of Ke Wen last night immediately shouted with joy, waving his hands and saying loudly: "Hey! Your Majesty Queen, how did you sleep last night?"

A chuckle rang out from the hall. The nearly full hall was still filled with the same old faces from yesterday. Apparently they all wanted to come over and see if Kewen could fulfill his promise. Today he would still treat everyone.

At this time, Ke Wen heard the greeting and couldn't help but turn around at the bar.

After meeting the adventurer team, he responded with a smile: "It's you, by the way, you..."

Ke Wen stared at the strong man, he really still didn't know his name.

"Tagel." The strong man patted his chest and said with a smile.

"What's Tagle?" Ke Wen asked while nodding.

"That's Tagle." The strong man said without the slightest embarrassment, "I am from a commoner background and do not have a family name."

"Really?" Ke Wen was slightly surprised. He looked at the other party and said with a smile, "Then you are really powerful. You can have such strength despite being born as a commoner."

"Hehe..." Tager smiled naively.

At this time, the adventurer team also came to the long table near the bar and sat down one after another.

Seeing this, Ke Wen took out two gold coins from his pocket, pushed them to the bar owner from the bar, slightly raised his voice and laughed: "Fulfilling yesterday's promise, I will still invite everyone to have a carnival tonight."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "To Your Majesty the Queen——"

Some townspeople immediately raised their glasses and cheered, and then the response was overwhelming, and the diners who had been waiting for a long time raised their glasses and cheered.

Coventi Cup toasted to everyone, then sat down at the table of the adventurer team and said with a smile: "What are you talking about? Can I listen?"

"Of course!" The man named Galken Garan smiled and nodded: "We are talking about livelihood matters."

As he said that, Galken put his hand into his pocket, took out a small handful of 'golden beans' and placed them on the dining table, making a 'cracking' sound.

There are almost twenty golden beans, each one about the size of a small fingernail.

There was some helplessness in Galken's smile, and he raised his chin towards Jindouzi: "Look, my Lady Queen, this is what we have gained today."

Ke Wen waved his hand and shook his head with a smile: "Call me Ke Wen. It was just a joke yesterday."

"Haha okay Kewen."

Galken responded with a smile, and the other four also laughed.

Kewen stretched out his hand to gather the golden beans together, and then asked: "Did you get this from the 'Kobold'?"

"That's right." Galken responded: "The gold stolen from the gold mine by the kobolds will not be confiscated by the kingdom from everyone. This can be regarded as leaving a livelihood for adventurers like us."

Ke Wen nodded: "It's good for everyone. You will gain wealth, and the kingdom will also be able to eliminate the hidden dangers of kobolds."

"Yes, that's right." Galken nodded.

"Then these..." Ke Wen fiddled with the golden beans with his fingers: "How much can these be exchanged for?"

Natalie stretched out her hand, divided the golden beans into five portions, distributed a few to each teammate, shrugged and said, "About four gold coins."

As Ke Wen nodded, the other four people began to raise their fingers in unison.

Ke Wen was surprised and couldn't help but said: "What are you doing?"

Natalie rolled her eyes and scolded helplessly: "Stop showing your shameful brains, eighty silver coins each!"

The other four people suddenly realized it, and then started laughing silly.

Ke Wen finally managed to hold it in and didn't laugh out loud. He coughed dryly and immediately changed the subject: "In this case, your day's income is pretty good."

"What can I do..." Natalie sighed: "With this amount of money, after deducting the cost of maintaining the weapons and the daily supply costs, there is not even a few coppers left."

"Hehe..." Tager smiled naively at Ke Wen: "I should have a lot left today. In today's battle, my shield was not much worn. That's what the blacksmith told me when I sent it to Blacksmith Po for maintenance just now.

"

The other four people almost said "poof" at the same time, and Galken looked a little sad: "My long sword is about to be scrapped, and the money I saved is not enough to buy a new one. Alas..."

Natalie spread her hands: "I'm about the same. You know, the daggers of the three of us wear out the fastest."

The other two thin men nodded at the same time in agreement.

Galken scratched his head and then said: "I think it's time for us to do something big."

"What are you doing?" Tager asked in a naive voice.

"The murlocs." Galken stretched out his hand and pointed toward the west: "The murlocs over there in the fertile fields of the west."

Hearing this, the others all looked hesitant. After thinking about it, the two men who were still not qualified to get their names shook their heads.

One of the men said: "Sorry, Garken, if we want to fight the fishmen over there, the two of us will not participate."

The other man nodded in agreement: "That's right, with the strength of the five of us, we can't defeat any mermaid tribe at all. If we only kill the peripheral ones, we won't make much money at all."

Galken's smile was a little forced, and he sighed and shook his head: "It doesn't matter, that's what I said."

The atmosphere was a bit stiff. The two men looked at each other and seemed embarrassed to stay any longer. They stood up to say goodbye and walked to other tables...
