Royal capital, suburbs.
civilian living area.
The low houses are scattered haphazardly. The distance between the houses is very short, and the space is tight. Sometimes you need to walk sideways to walk through.
Following his memory, Mark came to this civilian area and knocked on a certain wooden door.
"Who?"
A weak voice came from inside the wooden door.
With a creaking sound, the door was opened, revealing a bearded and somewhat haggard face.
There were scars on his face, one cuff was hanging empty, and the other hand completely opened the wooden door.
"Deputy commander, why are you here? Tiedan, Muya, look who's here!"
Surprise flashed in the bearded man's eyes, and his voice rose several decibels.
Then he blurted out and asked, "Deputy Commander, have you gained any results from the recent investigation? How is the situation with the Kuroshio?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the bearded man regretted it.
The "Wing Corps" has been exploring outside the wall for decades, but has not gained much. Now, the Corps is increasingly declining. They are determined to find out the truth about the Kuroshio, but they suffer from lack of ability.
What's more,
Every time the regiment went out to explore the city, they almost escaped death. Some of their comrades might be sleeping in the wilderness. The deputy regiment finally came here once, but he didn't dare to bring up such a topic.
Tiedan and Muya walked out of the house with a bit of eagerness and nervousness in their eyes.
Mark suddenly smiled.
It's a hearty laugh.
"Yes, we have gained a lot. Not only have we discovered the surviving humans outside the wall, but our "Wing Corps" has also received a large amount of financial support. I am here just to call on you old friends..."
There are only less than a thousand awakened people in the "Wing Corps", but in fact, there are many awakened people who join the "Wing Corps" because of their dreams and obsessions.
It's just that the battle loss rate of the corps is too high.
Some people couldn't bear it and quit the corps.
Some people were buried in the wilderness.
Others hold in their hearts the idea of shedding their last drop of blood for the Corps, but due to injuries and other reasons, they can only quit the Corps and farm with peace of mind.
The bearded man is one of them.
When he heard about the discovery of survivors outside the wall, he smiled like a child, but he did not agree with Mark's proposal to summon his old friends.
"The corps has given us enough help over the years. We finally have the funds, which should be used more on equipment. We useless people are no longer able to fight, but we are even less willing to hold the corps back."
Tiedan and Muya nodded repeatedly.
The auras of the three of them were weak and chaotic, but an expert could detect the strong evil aura on their bodies. They were soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles.
"Who said you are useless people..."
Mark flipped his wrist and took out a bottle of red and emerald green medicine. He opened the bottle cap and poured it into the bearded man's mouth.
"These two bottles of potion are provided by the big boss. If you don't drink them, it will be wasted."
The bearded man's eyes widened, and with a grunt, the medicine in his mouth slid down his throat and into his body.
In an instant,
Waves of warm energy flowed through the limbs and soaked into the internal organs.
Some pus-producing wounds on the bearded man's body had black blood splattering out, and scabs formed and fell off at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Some of the original scars are also slowly recovering.
The chaotic aura became stable, and the familiar power returned, leaving almost only one or two weak auras, which continued to climb, and finally stayed at the peak of the ninth level of awakening.
Except that his left arm is still empty, he has completely recovered.
"This, this is probably a master-level potion... How could you waste it on me!"
The bearded man trembled all over.
It's angry.
A master potion!
Two bottles, one to restore injuries, one to replenish vitality...
Only when the potion master personally takes action can there be any possibility of successful refining. In addition, the raw materials are precious, so the value of these two bottles of recovery potion is self-evident.
It’s priceless but not marketable!
Even the powerful middle-class nobles may not be able to get it.
Even a great noble would probably suffer severe pain if he suddenly used two bottles of master-level potion.
He drank it just like that
For a moment, I had the urge to spit it out to see if there was any medicine left.
However, the bearded man knew that the effect of the medicine had already been absorbed by him.
Now that things have come to a point, the only thing left to do is to repay him with his life.
then,
He saw Mark flip his wrist, and several more bottles of medicine appeared in his hand.
Light red, emerald green.
"Don't waste it. It's just a master-level potion. The big boss is just as good as this."
“…”
…
Royal Capital, Outer City.
A group of free mercenaries walked into a tavern, arm in arm.
The orange flames danced, emitting a soft light.
"I heard that Baron Qingshui and Baron Sweet Potato are having sex again. Hey, there's business again these days."
"Hush, I heard that the patrol team is fishing for law enforcement recently. If you are caught by them, they won't leave you a single gold coin."
"What are you afraid of! If I want money, I'll take the chrysanthemums at the worst!"
A drunken mercenary shouted, and the tavern was filled with a happy atmosphere.
There were constant conversations, either complaining about the lack of fuel and water in the mission, or mentioning the unlucky mercenary who was not careful enough and was discovered by a noble family and beaten to death.
After all, mercenaries are a high-risk industry.
suddenly,
Surprised shouts came from the street outside the door, covering up the noise in the tavern.
"Have you heard that the Dark Night Tavern is open with a 40% discount for three consecutive days!"
"Is it the newly opened tavern two streets to the east? I heard it is more luxurious than the inner city tavern and has a richer variety of drinks. A friend of mine has been there once and said it was unforgettable and he is unwilling to go there again. It’s just an ordinary tavern.”
"The noble lord has already agreed to go, hurry up, I'm afraid I won't be able to get a seat if I'm late!"
The shouting quickly faded away.
Under the dim light, the customers in the tavern looked at each other.
New pub
Is the drink really that good? Makes you want to stop
The customers in the tavern were dubious, but the popularity of a newly opened tavern spread so quickly, which can also explain the uniqueness of its drinks.
They had no idea how many source crystals had been secretly spent in order to build the reputation of Dark Night Tavern and Greenery City, and all kinds of modern marketing methods had been used.
Many of the wine recipes were bought by Tang Yu from the system market. They had a unique taste, and the people in the empire, who were big foodies, said they were great, not to mention a group of mercenaries who were not very knowledgeable.
I have long been addicted to the taste of wine and can't help myself.
Word of mouth will naturally ferment.
When more and more free mercenaries came to the dark night tavern with flashing neon lights, they found that the seats in the general area of the tavern were already packed.
Even many nobles...
Resistance from the beginning, looking down on the pubs in the outer city.
After hearing about the exquisite decoration and high-end quality of the pub, I was dubious.
Then he sneaked into the aristocratic area of the tavern with his entourage. At first, he was afraid of being discovered by others, and he was reduced to spending money in the civilian area for fear of being laughed at... But when he opened his eyes, he discovered that everyone in the aristocratic area was familiar to him. .
The perspectives met, and they continued to pretend not to know each other. There was an air of embarrassment in the air.
till the end,
All kinds of drinks were placed in front of their tables.
There is the Fire Dragon Liquor, which has a burning sensation in the mouth, erupting in the throat like a volcanic eruption, and the mouth is full of burning aroma; there is also the Seitan Liquor, which has a cool and lingering flavor and a long flavor... No matter how sophisticated your taste is, you can find it in the Dark Night Tavern. The one I like best.
So delicious!
then,
I don’t know since when, the nobles who were originally ashamed to enter the outer city suddenly...
"Have you been to the Dark Night Tavern? What? Never heard of it?"
A pair of disdainful eyes swept over him, and the isolated nobleman was suddenly confused.
What did I miss
