"How do you know?" Richard did not deny his purpose. He looked at the bartender and asked, a little curious about how the other party understood his thoughts.
The bartender didn't answer immediately, but deliberately kept it secret. He put down the rag he was wiping the table with, turned his head, took out a huge wooden cup from the wooden shelf, and took a large glass of beer with white foam from the barrel on one side. With a "dong" sound, he placed it heavily on the counter and pushed it flatly in front of Richard.
"Buy a beer and I'll tell you the answer." The bartender spoke conditionally.
Richard blinked and asked, "How much does the beer cost?"
"Three copper coins a cup, guaranteed to be delicious." The bartender smiled, his gray eyes full of sincerity and eagerness to sell.
Richard glanced at the beer in the wooden cup and saw that underneath the white foam was full of muddy yellow liquid. There are many small debris floating up and down in the liquid. I don't know if they are sawdust or impurities accidentally added during the brewing process.
Three copper coins buy a large glass of beer, which is indeed cheap, but in a sense, this also means that the beer is not much better. As a researcher, he is quite resistant to alcohol because it affects his sanity. Back then, I had almost no contact with it in the Blue Lion Kingdom. I chose pure water for daily drinking. Now I won’t make any exceptions casually.
After pondering for a second, Richard gently pushed the wooden cup in front of him away with his hand. With a flip of his hand, he slapped a silver coin on the table. He looked at the bartender and said, "I can buy beer. This silver coin is considered as drink money. But drink it." Forget it, I never like drinking, please help me deal with it."
After hearing what Richard said, the bartender was not surprised at all. He seemed to be used to it and asked calmly: "Then, can I help you drink?"
"Can."
"Okay -" the bartender agreed in a long voice, pulled the wooden cup from the counter to his side, took a deep breath, lifted it up, and drank it to his mouth.
"Gudong! Gudong!"
The frothy yellow liquid quickly flowed into the bartender's mouth, and the expression on the bartender's face gradually became ferocious, and in the end it was even painful.
"boom!"
Ten seconds later, the bartender drank all the beer in one go, slammed the wooden cup on the counter, bared his teeth and grinned, and yelled: "It's... it tastes really bad!"
Richard: "..." I was speechless for a while, and I couldn't help but think, it seemed like you were the one who said "absolutely delicious" with a sincere face just now.
As if he had guessed Richard's slander, the bartender wiped his tongue hard with a rag, spat out several mouthfuls of saliva, looked over and said with a bit of helplessness: "Hey, I know what's going on in your heart right now. He must be scolding me. However, it’s really not my fault. Bah, bah, I just wanted you to drink because I was forced to do so.
My boss brewed this kind of beer himself. It tasted so bad that he couldn't sell it at all, but he still forced me to sell a barrel of it every day. What could I do? "
"Actually, if it really tastes bad, you can throw it away. There is no need to drink it yourself. After all... I have already paid the money." Richard looked at the bartender and said.
"No, no, no." The bartender shook his head hard after hearing this, widened his eyes, and said in confusion, "How can you pour it away! Although this beer is indeed a bit unpleasant to drink, it is still beer and must not be wasted. No matter how unpleasant it is, ,I want to drink too."
Richard: "..."
"Okay." The bartender waved his hand and didn't want to continue discussing this topic. He looked over and said, "Let's talk about the tomb of the thangka wizard."
"I was also about to ask." Richard said, showing a serious expression, "How do you know? This is what I just asked you."
"It's very simple." The bartender raised the corner of his mouth and said proudly, "Because you are not the first to ask this, and you are definitely not the last to ask this."
"Um?"
The bartender took a deep breath and explained: "Let me tell you this, everyone knows that after the death of the legendary wizard Thangka, he was buried in the Baigu area, and the tomb built in the garden is definitely a fake.
Therefore, since a long time ago, people have been coming here one after another to look for the real tomb of the thangka wizard and the treasures in the tomb. I'm not surprised by this. Whenever I see a stranger coming from out of town, I can guess 80% of the time for this purpose.
Speaking of which, last night there was a large group of people trying to find the tomb of the thangka wizard. They rested in my pub and bought several glasses of beer brewed by our boss on my recommendation - but they only took one sip. They asked for a change of wine and their attitude was very tough, so I was quite impressed with them. "
"Is that so..." After listening to the bartender, Richard asked, "By the way, where is the tomb of the thangka wizard that so many people are looking for?"
"I don't know about that." The bartender shrugged, "I'm just a guy in the pub who sells beer to the boss but can't sell it. How do I know this? But I can tell you that many people go there on the west side. Searching in a large mountainous area, if the tomb of the thangka wizard is really near here, then it must be in that area."
"West? Mountainous areas?" Richard listened to the bartender's words and thought for a few seconds.
"Thank you." The next moment he nodded without saying anything, turned around and left.
"You're welcome!" When he was leaving, the bartender shouted loudly behind Richard, "If you really want to thank me, just buy another beer. It doesn't require a single silver coin, but the original price is three copper coins. If that doesn't work, you must Once you find the tomb of that thangka wizard and get his treasure, you can buy another beer when you come back."
Richard: "..." He walked out of the tavern quickly.
…
After leaving the tavern, Richard quickly rushed to the mountainous area to the west that the bartender said was the most complicated place in the White Valley.
Standing on the top of a hill on the edge of the mountain, Richard thought about the bartender's words and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The bartender said that people have been coming here to look for the tomb of the thangka wizard, which means that many clues point here. The possibility of finding the tomb here is relatively high, and maybe there is no need to go to Black Nail Town.
But then again, people have been looking for it, which means that no one has ever really found it. So even if the thangka's tomb is really here, it must be very secret and difficult to find.
But, if it’s not easy to find, you still have to look for it.
After all, we are already here, we have to give it a try.
Taking a deep breath, Richard had a thought, and the free energy elements in his body quickly surged out, and his eyes flashed with a faint blue luster.
The Eyes of Gaze are fully open.
The whole world began to change in his field of vision. The soil under his feet and the surrounding trees quickly faded and became transparent, turning into threads arranged in an orderly manner.
Richard stepped forward and flew forward, quickly looking around, consuming a large amount of free energy elements while checking the shallow soil of the mountain.
"Shuashushu..."
Richard kept flying by, and time passed quickly.
One hour, two hours, three hours...
