Chapter 85 The First Transaction
This girl is a bit inhuman...
Mo Tan shrugged. It wasn't that he had any objection to the attitude of the long, straight black girl in front of him, but he just felt that she was a bit inhumane.
After all, most people shouldn’t have wings on their backs, right?
That's right, wings. There is a pair of wings about half a meter in diameter behind the girl. They are light gray in color. They have been slightly unfolded behind her since just now. They also flap lightly from time to time. Visual inspection plays a major role in maintaining her own balance. Great effect~
This is obviously not a normal characteristic.
"What are you looking at?" The girl pouted: "Don't block the door if you don't want to spend money! Isn't it strange to have wings?"
Yeah, but the language function is still quite normal, at least compared to a certain dog girl...
"Then give me a drink~" Mo Tan raised his hand to help the winged girl in front of him hold the plate that was about to fall, and smiled: "The most expensive one."
"Gu!?"
The wings behind the girl's back trembled, and then she showed a sweet smile with a sugar content of at least twenty plus signs: "Guests, please come in!"
Mo Tan followed the girl in front of him to the bar and asked her gently: "Are you the boss here?"
"It's not Gu~" the girl shook her head, wiping the plate above her head with the rag in her hand as she walked: "The person over there who is flipping through the book is the boss Gu. In addition to reading stories all day long, he makes up stories~"
Mo Tan nodded. He saw a young man in a red robe sitting at the bar reading a book. He must be the owner of the Yunyou Hotel.
This is a bookish half-elf with short light blond hair, a pair of pointed ears, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose. He looks handsome and elegant.
"Junjun!" The girl in front of her smiled and kicked the rocking chair under her boss with her little feet, interrupting the other party's thoughts immersed in the story: "A guest is coming~"
The man put down the unclear "Deaf Pig Z" in his hand with some confusion, raised his head and glanced at Mo Tan blankly, and after holding it in for a while, he finally said: "Consumption?"
"Well, consumption." Mo Tan nodded seriously.
"Ah~ that's great." The man who was called Junjun by a certain winged waitress immediately showed a smile with more than 20 plus numbers of affinity: "Welcome to the Wanderer Hotel, I am the boss here, Jun Wu."
"Gu!" The girl on the side was stunned for a moment: "I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Weiyanggu, I am the only labor force under Junjun!"
A smile flashed across Mo Tan's eyes, he casually pulled a cushion and sat down: "Tan Mo, you can be considered a traveling bard~"
"Most of our guests here are bards." Jun Wu pushed up his glasses, and then shrugged helplessly: "But most of them come here to chat, the kind that can last a long time with free cold water. …”
Mo Tan blinked: "It's very romantic, isn't it?"
"The waves are real." The girl named Weiyang curled her lips, stuffed all the plates, cups and saucers behind the bar, and put the rag on her boss's head: "Can't create any turnover at all. Gu! I can’t bear to dig out a few copper coins!”
After saying that, he turned to Mo Tan, smiled sweetly, and walked lightly around behind the bar.
I guess what she brings back soon won't be too cheap...
"It seems Weiyang likes you very much." Jun Wu raised his eyebrows at Mo Tan, raised his hand to pull off the rag on his head, and said with a smile: "She just said those words, Weiyang likes to clean up and Organizing things, I like to listen to stories, as for the turnover and so on, they are secondary~"
Mo Tan nodded casually, and then glanced at the "comrades" not far away who had already begun to play a little tune: "Like the interesting things those people are talking about?"
The bards seemed to be singing together about some story about the union of the Holy Religion. The general content seemed to be that the son of a certain priest eloped with a saint in the night a few months ago...
"That's right." Jun Wu smiled bitterly: "But as the boss here, I have heard similar stories dozens of times in the past few days, but not many people can tell the full version, which is the person in the story. The handsome boy was taken back the next day and his legs were broken.”
Mo Tan whistled exaggeratedly: "You know so much~"
"It's not bad." The young half-elf smiled sheepishly: "I basically know a lot of interesting stories around here, but they are all told by others."
Mo Tan nodded, then lowered his voice and asked: "What about other places, such as the story of a dragon being shot down by a brave man in the ruined capital of the northwest continent a few days ago."
"I know." Jun Wu nodded lightly, then glanced at the harp in Mo Tan's arms, and chuckled: "I can even tell you some more detailed content, as well as some ready-made songs."
Mo Tan gently stroked the strings: "What if I want to know more?"
The other party glanced at Weiyang who had just come around from behind, then shook his head slightly and said: "That can't be exchanged for a glass of golden raspberry ice wine."
"The drink you want~" Weiyang handed the golden drink with a refreshing aroma on the tray to Mo Tan, bowed with a smile and said: "Shenghui two gold coins."
Mo Tan casually took out two gold coins and gave them to the girl who was so happy that she flapped her wings. He turned to Jun Wu and waved his money bag: "How much can I exchange for it?"
"Story to story." The elegant half-elf shrugged: "This is a rule, and I can't help it~"
Mo Tan stood up and played two notes casually, and said with a smile: "That's easy. I have indeed collected a lot of stories recently."
The young boss shook his head: "I basically know the stories and anecdotes in the neighborhood. I can't exchange them for anything. But if you can give me an excellent adapted poem, it won't be nothing. Of course, I have to let you It only needs to be agreed upon by everyone.”
"Everyone?"
"Me, Weiyang, and the guests in the hotel now." Jun Wu tapped the book "Deaf Pig Z" in his hand and said with a smile: "Even if it is a story that everyone is familiar with, as long as you make up the bard Poetry can amaze everyone here, and that is also valuable ~ and I will naturally give you something equally valuable."
This is obviously an internal rule in the Wanderer Hotel, and it is also the special treatment given to talented people by this organization that visually holds a lot of intelligence and rumors. Mo Tan is not surprised by this.
"No problem." He stood up, then put the harp aside and smiled at Jun Wu: "I think I am quite talented~"
The latter shrugged noncommittally: "Most people think so, but..."
But before he finished speaking, Mo Tan spoke!
There was no musical accompaniment, he just stood there and suddenly started singing!
The originally gentle voice with a hint of evil in it suddenly became rich and deep, shocking everyone like thunder.
Just listen to him singing loudly:
"The wind is roaring and the horses are barking!"
"The hero is howling, the hero is howling!"
"The central tower is ten meters high, and everyone in the east and north of the city is going crazy."
"The young hero Dave vomited a lot of blood~"
"There are two tavern owners in the city who are trying to be heroic~"
"Grab the sledgehammer and the long staff!"
"Put on the plate armor robe!"
"Protect your property, protect your objects~"
"Protect my nephew, protect the whole Pato!"
"The wind is roaring and the horses are barking!"
"Lon's yelling, Ron's yelling!"
"The Housekeeper jumps high, the Whispering Cult docks its tail to protect itself~"
“The whole body is smoky as if Lao Wang is barbecuing~
"Here comes a knight with a great sword wrapped in holy light!"
"The two bosses were flirting!"
"The cultists roar in despair!"
"The big sword is good, the big sword is good~"
"A big sword is good, but a complete set of swords is required!"
…
As soon as the song ended, the whole hotel was silent...
Five seconds later, Weiyang was the first to break the silence, and the tray the girl was holding in front of her chest hit the ground with a clang.
Almost at the same time, Jun Wu and his chair fell to the ground.
The surrounding bards who were in the middle of high just now took a breath of cold air at the same time, and then looked at Mo Tan with eyes that were almost adoring, and cheered loudly with all their demeanor lost!
"good!!!"
"Brother, you are so awesome!!"
"Where did this happen!?"
"I really blew this song!"
…
"What, this brother... take a step to speak." Jun Wu struggled to get up from the ground and pulled Mo Tan with a cold sweat on his face. The latter was closing his eyes and rushing towards the countless things in his mind that were not actually The audience present bowed.
Mo Tan winked at him and took out the book "Treatia" that Beo had given him before: "I'll lend it to you."
Jun Wu, who didn't react for a while, subconsciously took it, and then was kicked to the ground by Weiyang who had just woken up from his sluggish state: "What are you taking!!"
"Ahem! Anyway, come with me quickly!" Jun Wu, who got up from the ground again, adjusted his glasses, dragged Mo Tan and Weiyang and ran all the way, rushing into the inside of the hall amidst the howls of the bards who had not yet calmed down. In the compartment.
…
"I have you, friend." Jun Wu leaned against the door frame in the compartment and looked at Mo Tan with a pained expression on his face: "The Yellow River Cantata is not bad~"
Weiyang also fluttered his wings and laughed dryly: "I didn't expect you to be a player too."
Mo Tan spread his hands: "I never said I wasn't, and the two of them feel more like NPCs than me. There are not many players who can become bosses right away~"
"It's just good luck." Jun Wu shook his head and said: "Neither Weiyang nor I like to fight and kill. The task of guiding is to work at this Wanderer Hotel. Then the boss here was promoted. I passed some assessment. He came to the top for no reason~"
Weiyang added with a smile: "There's no way I can't take the top position, Gu. Counting the previous bosses, there are only three people in Kalan City, and there are no other candidates at all."
Jun Wusan smiled and said: "That's true. After all, Kalan City is a small place, but I quite like this kind of life. Want to add me as a friend?"
Mo Tan naturally happily accepted the two's friend applications, and by the way, he replied to Yi Dong, who had been bombarding him with messages since just now.
"If you two think that the impromptu bard just now is not bad and the information in it is valuable..." Mo Tan gently held Jun Wu's shoulders and whispered in his ear: "Would you like to think about it? What about long-term cooperation?”
The elegant-looking half-elf boy was slightly startled: "Long-term cooperation?"
"A few days ago, the Paladin visited Pato City because of a commotion caused by followers of the evil god. However, the specific information should still be sealed. After all, the city lord there and the bishop of the local Holy Religion Union both died tragically. It is rumored that Going out will probably damage the face of those magicians." Mo Tan showed an elusive smile, casually grabbed Jun Wu's glasses and put them in front of his eyes: "Tsk, tsk, it turned out to be flat... I'll give it back to you... …”
After taking his glasses and putting them on again, Jun Wu asked as calmly as possible: "Is what you just said true?"
He naturally knew what happened in Pato City, but that was only because a high-level paladin from the Holy Religion Union had visited there a few days ago. More specific information was not clear...
If what the 'Bard' player in front of me said is true, then submitting this information is definitely a great achievement. You must know that 'open secrets' and 'exclusive information' are definitely two completely different concepts!
Although he has no ambitions and doesn't like to fight and kill in games like most people, Jun Wu doesn't want to be a low-level employee in this small place. He likes to collect various stories and legends and is already very popular in Kalan City. It’s rare to hear anything new...
"I think it's pretty reliable, Gu!" Weiyang nodded while poking his cheek gently: "Such a powerful paladin shouldn't go to Pato City for no reason, right Gu?"
Mo Tan yawned lazily and glanced at Jun Wu: "Are you willing to believe me?"
The latter didn't think for too long. After just a few seconds, he nodded and replied: "Okay, what do you need?"
"It's very simple." Mo Tan said lightly: "Everything you know..."
Jun Wu did not immediately reject this seemingly unreasonable request, but looked at Mo Tan with burning eyes: "Give me a reason."
"Things seem to be getting interesting!" Weiyang muttered in a low voice, blinking his dark blue eyes twice: "It seems that we have met an incredible guest."
Mo Tan's answer was very concise and concise: "Because I don't necessarily know less than you."
"For example?" Jun Wu's pair of glasses used to add a literary and artistic flair flashed.
"The orcs in the ruins of Underhill are preparing to rush to the holy mountain Sumir. The dragon that was accidentally injured came from Tianzhu Mountain. There are two territories in the Violet Empire in the southeast that have small-scale friction on the border. They are the Marshall Territory and the Fire Claw Territory, because the former is suspected of conducting underground slave trade, and a certain evil sect that made big news in Pato City seems to be one of the buyers..."
"Deal." Jun Wu answered without hesitation.
"I have a question, Gu!" Weiyang suddenly tilted her head and asked, "How do you know so much about Gu?"
Jun Wu also nodded curiously.
Mo Tan rolled his eyes: "Are you players?"
"Yeah yeah!"
"Do you have many friends?"
"not much……"
"I have more."
“…..”
