Lookout Fortress, commercial area, Silver Needle Tavern.

In sharp contrast to the cold and quiet streets, when Xu Nan pushed open the door and walked into the tavern, bypassing the stone pillars and reaching the hall, what was coming was not only the warm air waves but also the noisy shouts of the crowd.

Only the bored bartender at the front desk came to watch.

Xu Nan took off his cloak, shook the snow, called a glass of juice, and sat inadvertently at the bar.

It was already midnight, but the wonderful nightlife in the tavern was obviously just beginning.

The air is filled with the smell of inferior perfume and the sour smell of coal burning.

He couldn't help twisting his nose and forced himself to accept the chaotic atmosphere.

"Your juice, I'm sorry I can't find anything fresh." The bartender shrugged.

Xu Nan took the glass of juice, took a sip, and resisted his frown.

The taste is really not very good.

However, due to the embarrassing material conditions of the Fortress, we really cannot ask for too much.

But Xu Nan's desire to relax was also disappointed.

He comes out to breathe.

After reading five or six books that were thousands of pages thick, the drowsy Xu Nan chose to give up.

Evelyn slept soundly, thanks to the light hypnotic powder hidden in the water that Xu Nan handed her.

She needs a good night's sleep.

Xu Nan, who originally wanted to take advantage of this time to find information about the Atsam family, almost fell asleep.

Considering that these books are all old books, once they are swallowed, there will be no second one, so he can only shake his head and run out for some breathing.

It is difficult to form a complete puzzle with Evelyn's clues and the messages he asked from Eliot.

For more information about Atsam, even the gossip system of Paradise Lost, it does not involve too much specific information. Paradise Lost is not omnipotent after all.

In order to get more information before the celebration tomorrow afternoon begins, Xu Nan had to run out by himself and try to investigate something from the local people.

But now, sitting in the tavern and feeling the noisy atmosphere, Xu Nan could only smile bitterly.

He felt uncomfortable all over.

At this moment, he could clearly feel the aura that was incompatible with the entire tavern.

"Well, I'm not a secret investigation at all."

He smiled bitterly in his heart.

There was no news from Qin Lele, which made Xu Nan a little worried. His instinct told it that the two things, namely the Cold Sun Celebration and the Heart-Eating Sage in Elliot's hand, must have their own logical connection, but they have not found it.

"I've come here, I still have to try it."

After drinking the juice in one breath, he encouraged himself.

"What are you playing there?" He threw a silver coin at the bar and asked casually.

The bartender took it cleverly, wiped it casually, stuffed it into his pocket, but his expression became more restrained:

"That's the arena of the honeysuckle rat."

"Everyone is just trying to have some fun. The competitive rules are very simple. Run along the track, from the starting point to the end point, whoever has the fastest speed is the winner. Winners are all."

"You can buy your own honeysuckle rat to compete, but you can't feed it all the messy medicine. York boss doesn't allow that kind of thing to happen, there was a foreigner last month..."

Under the bartender's narration, Xu Nan roughly understood the rules.

Honeysuckle is a very small type of rat, generally only with long fingers and wide fingers. This thing is very cold-resistant and has very little flesh on it. However, during the famine, many Kutlins still ran to underground caves to find the nests of honeysuckle rats.

The honeysuckle rat has a strong reproductive ability and its running speed is actually average, but since someone invented the game and put it into practice, the business of the Silver Needle Tavern has been more than twice as good, and the orphans in the slums have also added a new daily task: capturing the honeysuckle rat.

A strong honeysuckle rat can be sold at a high price in the Silver Needle Tavern. The stronger the more powerful the more popular it is. Even if the money you pay is not proportional to the possible benefits, some gamblers are willing to pay.

Xu Nan leaned over and watched a game with the smell.

For him who has experienced the baptism of various exciting programs on earth, it is actually not exciting at all.

But for everyone who paid real money and experienced a thrilling race at the gambling table, it was undoubtedly an audio-visual feast.

Amid the referee's whistle.

A gray honeysuckle rat took the lead and knocked off the banner of the finish line, causing everyone to scold.

The owner of the honeysuckle rat was holding a cage in one hand and holding chips in the other, smiling from ear to ear. The gray honeysuckle rat got into the cage and was immediately stuffed with several handfuls of food.

The man at the table left dejectedly.

The next round is said to start in fifteen minutes.

The rest of the people left, and Xu Nan stood there. Suddenly, a few sharp-eyed people ran over to promote the honeysuckle rat in their hands. Before Xu Nan could talk to them, suddenly, the sound of pushing the door sounded outside the tavern door, and then the sound of heavy footsteps.

Several young men in blue clothes walked in.

Their clothes were covered with snow, and they looked like they had walked in the snow for at least a few hours, and they were frozen; but their expressions were enjoyable.

Most of the men in blue sat far away from the fireplace. They ordered some water and bread and didn't eat much.

After these group of men in blue walked in, Xu Nan could clearly feel that the atmosphere became a little different.

"Dog in blue!"

Someone whispered.

The people in blue ignored it. After they finished their food, they asked the bartender for two separate shops, and hurriedly left the hall.

"who are they?"

Xu Nan was a little curious and grabbed a spectator and asked.

The man was stunned for a moment and replied vaguely:

"It's someone from the Blue Clerk...I'm a grass? Why are you?"

Xu Nan looked closely and saw that the other party looked like a ghost, which made Xu Nan shocked and thought that he had accidentally traveled back to Wildfire City!

"Grey?" He was also shocked.

Grey couldn't help rolling his eyes: "Why are you everywhere?"

"Why did you run to the Lookout Fortress?"

Xu Nan looked at Grey and suddenly had a clever plan, and pulled him to sit next to him:

"Don't worry, let's talk slowly."

Grey showed a warning expression: "What do you want to do?"

Xu Nan comforted:

"Don't be afraid, I'll pay."

Grey was relieved: "You didn't say it earlier."

The two of them walked towards the deck next to them with their arms hooked up.

Only a few guys next to him who were selling honeysuckle rats in cages were left stunned.

...

"You actually came here after taking Geralt's employment? How long have you been away?"

On the booth, a glass of high-concentration spirit and a glass of higher-concentration coffee were placed in front of the two.

Xu Nan held the coffee and warmed his hands, which was a bit funny to think about.

I didn't expect to meet an acquaintance from Wildfire City here.

"Don't mention it." Grey said melancholy: "I haven't met a woman in more than two weeks."

Xu Nan laughed and said, "So, Geralt is here too? Has he gone to find his teacher?"

Grey nodded: "It was that guy who deceived me."

"I thought he had been a pastor for so many years, at least a little bit bad. Who knew he was a pauper and almost couldn't afford my employment fee."

Xu Nan laughed dryly, completely disbelieving this statement.

In the Super Spirit Vision, Grey's emotional changes exposed him to lie.

"It seems that you have changed a little," Xu Nan sighed: "I am very happy for you and have my own friends."

Grey raised his eyebrows, as if he wanted to refute, but soon, he shook his head and said to himself:

"Friend? That guy Geralt is really the stupidest idiot I've ever seen."

"He insisted on risking the remnants of the First Mountain Range without knowing the authenticity of the letter...I don't know what to say anymore. Believe me, if it weren't for me, he would have become the feces of some beast."

"Damn it, the more I said, that idiot is going to find his teacher now, and I have to investigate the background of those blue dogs for him!"

Xu Nan's heart moved:

"Dog in blue?"
