Chapter 9 The Living Corpse Swamp(1/2)
In the secret room, both sides fell into a strange silence.
Obviously, neither of the two bronze orders could open the city lord's treasure chest, which proved that both of them were fakes.
So, where do you really go?
Xu Nan and Banes were both puzzled.
But at this point, they can't just stay in such a stalemate.
"I said it was a disrepair for a long time."
Xu Nan called out: "Master Banes, it's better to find a clever craftsman to check it out."
Barnes understood it instantly: "That's true."
"I'll find qualified craftsmen to check soon."
"Mr. Su, don't worry."
The group of people left the secret room with ulterior motives.
They discussed and claimed that Mr. Su had just arrived from the quicksand and had to rest for a while before he could reopen the city hall office.
This reason is nonsense, because Xu Nan has been resting in Sebalon's mansion for four or five days.
But no one jumped out and looked for death.
Everyone left tacitly.
Banes invited Xu Nan to live in the Sebalon family's property, but Xu Nan declined.
He stayed on the grounds that the city lord should live in the city lord's mansion. Banes had no excuse to refuse, and probably could only send additional personnel to monitor Xu Nan, and he didn't care about this.
So he and Grey lived in Sir Patton's mansion.
There was only one elderly maid in the mansion.
She was blinded and her hands were very difficult. It was said that she was hired by the previous town hall. Later, she had no place to live here and took care of Sir Patton's relics.
The dinner was prepared by the old maid, and the ingredients purchased by Xu Nan were made of money.
Her craftsmanship is hard to see.
In short, Gray was so embarrassed that he went out to find something to eat, but Xu Nan ate a few more bites.
This made the old man feel a little more grateful to him.
"She probably isn't Sebalon's person."
After dinner, Xu Nan ran to the secret room and tinkered at the city lord's treasure chest for a while, and almost squeezed out the monster Pipiqi of the Star Realm, but it had no effect.
"Spicy chicken!"
Faced with the extremely aggrieved star monster, Xu Nan missed the captain of the urban management team at this moment!
With her here, this level of treasure chest should be able to be opened, right?
Even if she can't drive it out, with McCann's secret help, what treasure chest can't be handled?
Xu Nan looked at the original treasure chest on his chest. Susie and the vest were still sleeping. Lulu was thrown by him in Anonymous City, and there were no guests in the treasure chest that could help.
"It's better to go out and have a walk."
"Try to experience the customs and customs of Wildfire City and pretend that it was not in vain."
"As the city lord, you should also pay attention to being close to the people and being easy to understand..."
Xu Nan made up his mind and ran outside.
...
The Wildfire City at night is not very lively.
There is no curfew system, but the cold wind is enough to prevent people from going to the streets. The chaotic order even made ordinary people rush home before the sun sets.
“In this case, it’s a hell to see that productivity is increasing.”
Xu Nan muttered.
He used some tricks to get rid of Sebalon's followers and found a hidden tavern.
Green Dragon Tavern.
This tavern is located in the corner of the main urban area, with the entrance hidden underground. Years of gaming experience have made Xu Nan keenly aware that some information may be found here.
The business in the Green Dragon Tavern is not very deserted. Most of the people who drink here are local Icelanders. Xu Nan's face is actually closer to the Sha people in the Eastern Kingdom in the Pro World, so he is quite similar to the second lady in the Quicksand Land.
Xu Nan's entry obviously attracted several surprised gazes.
But he didn't care, he just shouted a glass of wine in a rough voice and drank quietly in the corner.
After a long time, no one cared about him.
He listened silently, trying to hear some useful information, but these Icelanders talked about very ordinary daily life:
Winter is getting longer and longer;
The crops are not well harvested;
My wife ran away with her, oh! No wonder she was called Green Dragon Tavern!
...
"This is not how intelligence is investigated!"
Suddenly, a white thigh appeared in front of Xu Nan, and his gaze moved upwards. The powerful thighs were exposed to the base of the legs, and then there were hateful shadows and some wild animal skin shorts, a whiter belly and a teasing navel.
"It's a pity that he has a flat chest." Xu Nan complained coldly.
The person who came shrugged:
"There's no way, who told me to be a damn miscellaneous guy?"
"I have half of Afalia's blood."
"As we all know, Afalia's women are Konoko."
Xu Nan looked at her curiously.
This is a pretty girl with the heroic spirit of an Icelander woman, but she is thinner than them, at least her skeleton is not that big.
Her skin was too white, which was obviously different from that of the women of Iceland.
Afalia?
Xu Nan recalled the relevant knowledge in his mind, which was the previous civilized world that was captured by the pros and entered the main material world.
The skin of the Afalias is blue and white, a bit like the Avatar movies that Xu Nan has watched.
"Mixed blood is better." Xu Nan showed a little gentler. "Besides, I don't like big breasts either, that thing is just a burden."
The woman laughed: "It doesn't matter."
"I don't like the sand sculptures of Afalia anyway."
"You can see that you need my help, don't deny it first. No matter what the origin of a foreigner is, he runs to the tavern to drink and looks like he wants to find information."
Xu Nan thought for a while: "What are the rules? How should I trust you?"
The woman said cheerfully: "Call me Erin. Reputation is my only reliance on living in Wildfire City, otherwise I would have to sell-meat."
"Everyone here knows me. They can guarantee me."
At this time, a drunken ghost walked by and reluctantly took Erin's hand and kissed her gently:
"Madam, if you decide to sell meat one day, please be sure to notify me first."
Erin smiled and patted his face:
"Don't worry, Earl, I'll give you a 50% discount."
"Celebrating your living through the ninety-year-old winter."
The drunkard laughed loudly, and the people nearby laughed softly.
Xu Nan felt a little uncomfortable at first, and soon realized that this was a heroic and simple way of joking among the people of Bingyuan.
Most of the people at Green Dragon Tavern are quite familiar with Erin, and everyone has shown a certain degree of kindness.
“That’s why I like it.”
Erin blinked and sat beside Xu Nan without hesitation:
"The same bastards, the Afalias think I'm their shame; while the Icelands think I'm my own."
"Although I probably know that the reason why this group of people like me is because they want to join me..."
"But it's better than those sculptors who claim to be higher life."
This straightforward communication method made Xu Nan unable to keep up with the rhythm.
"Speak the rules." He said indifferently.
"The rule is that you invite me to drink, the best wine."
