Chapter 1399 Blood Moon (Forty-One)

Ceres, Old Port District.

This capital of the Kingdom of Inveria accommodates more than one million permanent residents, so the city area is naturally very large.

It is divided into seven major districts, and the Old Port District is one of them. It is a gathering place for countless civilians and lower-class people, similar to the lower city of Rand City.

When night fell, Ronan came to the Old Port District alone.

Then after some inquiries, he found the Blue Whale Tavern.

It was not very dark at this time, and people were coming and going on the long street. Compared with the central area of ​​Ceres, this long-declined old port seemed chaotic and noisy.

Uncleaned garbage can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys, and three or five beggars and vagrants are curled up next to them.

Any city has a prosperous and wealthy side and a poor and backward side, and Ceres is obviously no exception.

But the public security here seems to be good, at least there are no thieves who are unscrupulously stealing among the crowd.

When Ronan pushed open the door of the Blue Whale Tavern, a smell of low-quality tobacco, alcohol, powder, sweat, barbecue and other smells suddenly hit him.

He subconsciously activated his spiritual power to block out this strong smell.

But Ronan could not stop the hustle and bustle inside.

The Blue Whale Tavern was quite large, crowded with all kinds of drinkers. There was not a single empty table, and even the seats in front of the bar were full.

Many drinkers stood in the corners and aisles holding their glasses, some chatting and laughing, and some whispering.

There was also a performance stage in the middle of the hall, where three beautiful dancers danced hot dances to the accompaniment of musicians.

Their charming and sexy movements often attracted cheers from the drinkers, and copper coins were thrown up like raindrops, even mixed with a few silver dollars.

Ronan squeezed through the crowd with some effort and came to the front of the bar.

There was no seat so he could only stand. He called out to the busy bartender inside: "Please give me a glass of beer."

The bartender glanced at Ronan, immediately stopped his work, and first gave him a full glass of fresh beer.

"One silver dollar, thank you."

So expensive?

Ronan was somewhat surprised.

The same glass of beer would cost at most 20 copper coins in the taverns in Rand City, and a dozen copper coins would be enough for the cheaper ones.

Although the consumption in Ceres was very high, this Blue Whale Tavern was not a high-end place. He did not think that the drinkers here had the ability to spend so much.

Ronan was keenly aware of the strange looks from the people around him, most of which were teasing and mocking.

He suddenly realized that he was being slaughtered like a pig!

In fact, Ronan's age, dress and temperament were obviously incompatible with this tavern.

He attracted a lot of attention as soon as he came in.

The bartender overcharged the customer, most likely because he thought Ronan was a noble or merchant who was looking for excitement!

He calmly took out a silver dollar and threw it on the counter, then took the wine glass and took a sip.

The taste was okay.

At this moment, a drinker next to him whistled and said with a smile: "This generous and wealthy young master, can you buy Buck a drink? I haven't drunk a silver dollar a glass of beer!"

The drinker named Buck was sturdy and had a fierce look. He looked at Ronan with a hint of malice in his eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, the other drinkers around him laughed, as if they had discovered something funny.

"Okay."

Ronan smiled and took out another silver dollar, and said to the bartender: "Another glass."

The bartender was very surprised, and looked at Ronan as if he was a fool.

But Ronan had already paid, so he didn't say anything and poured another glass of beer.

"Haha, thank you, young master!"

Buck smiled and stretched out his hairy big hand to take the wine glass.

As a result, his fingers were held by Ronan before they touched the glass: "Ask you a question."

Buck was stunned for a moment, and then he became furious: "Let go!"

While scolding, his right arm suddenly exerted force, and his muscles instantly bulged high, trying to throw Ronan to the ground.

But it didn't move at all!

Buck's face changed.

As a senior mercenary, although he did not have the strength of a transcendent, he had reached the level of an elite warrior. The sudden burst of power was definitely not something a weak nobleman could resist.

However, now that he was exerting all his strength, he could not shake Ronan at all. The latter's hand seemed to contain a thousand pounds of power, suppressing his struggle and resistance.

Buck even felt that if Ronan exerted a little more strength, his wrist bones would be turned into powder!

He took a deep breath and forced a flattering smile at Ronan: "Sorry, my voice was a little loud just now. What's the problem?"

Mercenary Buck is not a brainless person. He has mastered the ability to judge the situation and adapt to the situation. He realized that he had hit a wall and immediately lowered his posture.

Even though there were several companions around him, Buck chose to give in temporarily.

The drinkers around were all stunned, wondering why Buck's face changed so quickly.

Ronan let go of his hand and asked, "I'm here to find someone. Do you know someone called Old Jack?"

"Old Jack?"

Buck really knew: "Are you talking about the old Jack who is obsessed with alchemy?"

Ronan smiled and said, "Yes, that's him."

He was lucky and found out without much trouble. It is estimated that this old Jack should be a celebrity here.

"Old Jack must be in the Copper Anchor Casino right now."

Buck swallowed and said, "He only comes here to drink when he loses everything."

"Take me to find him."

Ronan took out a gold pound and threw it on the counter: "This is the reward."

The gold pound flashing with an attractive light made Buck's eyes brighten instantly, and his smile became more sincere: "Okay, I'll take you to the Copper Anchor Casino to find Old Jack now."

"If you can't find him there, I'll take you to his house to find him!"

Buck didn't expect Ronan to be so generous, and he felt like he was hit by a pie in the sky.

If it were someone else, the mercenary might have evil thoughts.

But Ronan had proved his strength, so he became very obedient and sensible.

And the drinkers around him all cast envious and jealous eyes at Buck - this money is too easy to make!

Some people even had the idea.

Buck hurriedly put away the gold pound, and even stopped drinking the beer on the counter, and took Ronan away from the Blue Whale Bar.

The Copper Anchor Casino he mentioned is not far from this bar, just a few hundred meters away, but it is relatively remote, but it is just as lively and noisy.

Buck took Ronan around the casino and finally found Old Jack at a gambling table in the corner.

And this guy obsessed with alchemy was surrounded by three or five burly men at this moment.

He looked completely pitiful, weak and helpless!
