Chapter 89 Tavern
Jiayi shouted to the tavern owner: "Give this person a big glass of ale, no, give everyone a big glass of ale, I'll treat you."
There are not many people in the tavern, only four or five people are sparse. Although Jiayi said it boldly, he didn't have much money.
Everyone here heard it, cheered in unison, and raised their glasses to express their gratitude to Jiayi, but because there were too few people, the empty look like there was no momentum at all.
Jiayi stood in front of Lao Weili and said, "Can you tell me what you know about the ruins? As long as I am satisfied, the reward is not a problem, if it is nonsense."
As he said that, a huge flame rose from Jia's hand and rushed straight to the top of the tavern, almost lit the top of the tavern.
Lao Weili was startled. The stool under his butt was almost falling to the ground when it tilted. He swallowed and said, "I dare not, I absolutely dare not."
Seeing this move, I was interested in looking at the customers of several taverns here and immediately turned my head over, not daring to look at this side blatantly anymore, but my ears were on my feet and I listened to the movements here.
Jiayi pulled open the stool and sat down, asking, "Have you really been to the ruins?"
"I..." Lao Weili was about to boast about it, but under Jiayi's gaze, he finally said in a low voice: "I haven't been there."
Jiayi's mental power and observation were excellent. Lao Weili seemed to have been stripped naked under his gaze. He felt that any lie he said could not escape the other party's eyes.
He then added: "But I did hear of this ruins. I actually wanted to go there, but my parents didn't want me to take risks, and other adventurers didn't want me to join. But I heard it very clearly at the time that the ruins were deep in the forest in the east, and they were going to pass through a canyon. At the end of the canyon, it was turning over a hillside, and on the hillside halfway up a hill."
Lao Weili said this and stopped talking. He started drinking. Jia frowned: "What else?"
Lao Weili showed a confused expression: "Ah? No more, I know so much. I dare say that no one knows more than me. After all, I have never been there. I remember so much about the location of the ruins."
Jiayi felt that he was not satisfied. Is there any difference between saying this and not saying it? The forest in the east is so big, and if you don’t explain clearly where the canyon is, you can’t search the forest over and over again.
The only direction information is actually the east side, which is so big that it is too big.
"Just just now, the boss said that there was something wrong at that time. What happened? Even the whole city was in a downturn."
Lao Weili shook his head: "No one can tell what it is. Maybe the people present knew it at that time, but no words came out. I only know that after the ruins were discovered, many adventurers gathered. Many people heard the news from nearby cities, and even the army was involved. At that time, the people gathered seemed to have more people than in our small town. Various conflicts occurred every day, and even the wanderings came to set up tents."
Speaking of this, Lao Weili was covered in a look of slutty and saliva was about to flow out.
After the small town fell into ruin, even the entertainment venues shrank greatly, and the quality was far from comparable to the flowing orioles.
"But I don't know when the adventurers went out came back, and the beasts in the forest became more and more dangerous, becoming very irritable, and became very aggressive. Even if several adventure teams were combined together, fewer and fewer people came back. Slowly, the adventure teams either disappeared in the jungle or left here, but the dangers in the forest did not decrease, and herb collection and hunting became very dangerous, with fewer outputs. Even fewer merchants came over, and the city gradually became declining."
This place was originally remote. Although it was a border city, there were not many troops stationed in it for many years. No soldiers stimulated domestic demand. After losing the pillar industry, it was inevitably destroyed. Even the gap in the city wall did not have enough funds to repair it.
After asking a few more questions, he asked if there were anyone else who knew about the ruins and got a negative answer.
Jiayi stood up and said, "Okay, you have too little news, but I can't give you any big price. I'll help you settle the money you owe."
"Oh, no! No!" Lao Weili quickly stood up to stop him and said with a shameless face, "Give me the money for the wine, I'll just pay it myself, so I don't have to bother you anymore."
Judging from his appearance, even if Jiayi thought about it, he knew that the other party would definitely not make money after he took the money.
Without caring about the other party's plea, Jiayi came to the counter and said to the boss: "How much money does he owe to drink? It's all over."
"Your meal has 80 copper coins, a total of 240 copper coins, a total of 320 copper coins, a total of 300 copper coins, and Lao Weili owes a total of... I'll find it... I owe 2 silver coins and 423 copper coins, and then wipe off a fraction of it for you, a total of 2 silver coins and 7 silver horns."
Jiayi threw the three silver coins he had just taken out to the boss and said, "Don't look for them."
Lao Weili was so envious that he came up and lay on the counter with his hands, and said with a flattering voice: "Let me discuss, I only pay half of my alcohol. Give me the extra money, okay? Or, either one silver coin is enough, five silver slots are OK."
The boss ignored the other party and put all the money in the cash counter, saying, "If it weren't for the adults who helped you pay back the money, would you please let me come in and drink in the future?"
"You are too stingy. When your father was still here, you wouldn't be as stingy as you." Lao Weili said dissatisfied, but he would never dare to say anything about half of the money he paid for.
The tavern owner scoffed at Lao Weili's words: "Do you owe money to my father's money? He doesn't like to keep accounts, and he keeps them all in his heart. I don't know who owes alcohol after death."
"How...how could it be?" Lao Weili said loudly, but his voice didn't sound confident.
Jiayi took out three silver coins, held them on the counter in front of Lao Weili with his backhand, and said, "This is your reward. Go back and find out if anyone else knows the information about the ruins. If I am satisfied, I will satisfy you."
Seeing these silver little cuties, Lao Weili immediately held them in his hands, as if he was worried that Jia would repent or that the boss would come to grab them. After waiting for a while, he realized that the money he owed the tavern owner had just paid off.
He smiled embarrassedly, picked up the silver coins one by one and held them on sale, bent down to salute Jiayi, and said respectfully: "Thank you for your generosity, sir."
Jiayi came back from the tavern and found the owner of the hotel where he stayed and asked, and the results were almost the same.
It is said that the matter of the ruins was something that happened decades ago, but the younger generation now is not very clear about it. Those who know the inside story, especially those who have been to the ruins, would have moved away if they had made money, or would have died after so many years.
The average age of this era is only in his 30s. Although it is because many children die prematurely and lower the average line, the general age is not too high. Those who live a long life are almost carefree. At least those with small and wealthy living standards can move out.
Although there has been no war in Akureiri, it is a border city after all, and it is not a good place to live and work in peace and contentment.
Jiayi carefully recalled what Yao Lao told him about the ruins at that time. He only said that he had passed through the jungle, and there seemed to be a saying in the east. He would not have too much introspection in the direction of telling stories, so more content actually started with finding the ruins.
There seems to be only one thing that can be confirmed, the ruins are indeed east of Akureyri.
To the east is the junction of Xiaokuyeqiling and Hengduan Mountains. The terrain inside is very complex and is a natural partition between two countries. Xiaokuyeqiling is the border line. If you search in, you may encounter people from Karta.
I don’t know if anyone knows about the ruins and the east side of Karta.
