Chapter 170 News About Eco

Coming out of this tavern, another little tail followed behind Lan Wu. Olvera didn't get to the bottom of it, but she looked at Lan Wu strangely.

There is a precedent.

At first, this benefactor was followed by Flora, who was fifteen or sixteen years old, and then there was Irene, who was thirteen or fourteen years old, and then it became more normal, and there was Claudia, who was in her twenties. Now it seems to have gotten worse, and even a ten-year-old girl can't escape the clutches.

Lan Wu didn't take it to heart that there was such a snack. During this long trip to the seaport of Kurast, Kasha gave him a large sum of gold coins to cover the travel expenses. The mercenary union in Rogge Camp has developed rapidly, and points have long replaced gold coins as the currency in circulation. As a result, the gold coin reserves in Rogge's camp reached a quite astonishing figure.

After finding a room in the largest hotel, Lanwu handed over the snack to Olvera. This uncle was obviously not someone to pry for information, so it was just right to stay and take care of this snack foodie. Neither of them likes to talk.

After leaving the hotel, Lanwu plunged into the large and small taverns in Kurast Harbor. The seaport of Kurast is quite prosperous. In addition, it is adjacent to the Twin Seas, and popular consumption places such as pubs are everywhere in the streets and alleys. There are obvious differences between professionals and civilians.

Taverns where professionals hang out never welcome civilians. Inside are the best wines, the finest delicacies, and dancing girls who come from Lugaoyin to pan for gold. I have to admit that Lu Gaoyin is very popular among professionals.

The common people's tavern is much more mediocre. There are only civilians in this kind of place. You may see one or two poor mercenaries, but you will never see professionals. The food and wine here are also very different. The most expensive one costs a few hundred gold coins in a pot, and the cheapest one costs one gold coin in a large bucket, enough for several people to drink. Of course there is no popular Lu Gaoyin dancer, but only anecdotes spread in the streets. No matter who said the previous paragraph, it would attract the attention of many drinkers.

Lan Wu was looking for this kind of civilian pub. Only here is it easier to find out the whereabouts of the pharmacist Eco. Everywhere he went, he sprinkled large amounts of gold coins and immediately won the favor of these common people. It's rare for a professional adult to be willing to stay with civilians like me and talk nonsense. As a result, all kinds of gossip and strange things came to Lan Wu's ears one after another.

The result disappointed Lan Wu. I have heard a lot of interesting news, but there is no news about Eco. I walked around one civilian tavern after another, throwing out a lot of gold coins, but still found nothing.

Seeing the lanterns coming on, magic lights lit up on the roadside. In order to enhance the attractiveness of the Kurast Seaport, the Kurast Parliament spent a huge amount of manpower and material resources to turn the Kurast Seaport into a city that never sleeps.

At the beginning of the lanterns, the common people's tavern has become quiet. After all, civilians need to work and don't have as much time as professionals. At night, few civilians stayed in the tavern. They all went home to sleep and recharge themselves for the next day's work.

No clues could be found in the civilian tavern, so Lan Wu had to turn his attention to the professional tavern. Following the instructions of passers-by, he opened the door and walked into the largest pub in the city.

The pub was very lively. This is the time when this kind of high-end tavern business is most prosperous. The graceful Lu Gaoyin dancer shakes her soft waist to release the passion of a woman. The professionals in the audience laughed loudly, and occasionally jumped on the table to dance to the rhythm.

It was a depraved night.

Lan Wu walked into the tavern called Wild Rose and saw a drunken barbarian hugging him from left to right and staggering up the stairs. It was obvious that this savage was planning on having a great night.

The arrival of the stranger did not attract the attention of the professionals. Only a few professionals glanced at Lan Wu and then withdrew their gaze. Although this stranger is very different, it doesn't mean anything. There are more alternative ones.

"A glass of ale, thank you." Lan Wu sat at the bar and knocked on the table.

The sturdy tavern owner looked Lan Wu up and down, turned around to pour the wine, and smiled without looking back: "I've never seen you before. Is this your first time at Kurast Seaport?"

"Yes, I just came out of Rogge Camp and wanted to come here to practice." Lan Wu followed suit and successfully played the role of a professional who went on a long journey to practice.

"Welcome to Kurast Harbor." The tavern owner pushed a full glass of ale in front of Lan Wu and said with a kind smile: "I'll take this one."

"Thank you." Lan Wu held up the wine glass, took a big sip, smacked his lips, and praised: "Good wine."

This sentence about "good wine" obviously won the favor of the tavern owner. He laughed and said with a confident smile: "I'm not boasting. In the entire Kurast seaport, I am the only one who has the best wine. Of course, except for those members of the parliament."

"Let those congressmen go to hell." A druid next to him was obviously drunk, and he shouted out of control: "Hey, boss, have another drink."

The tavern owner glanced at him sideways and ignored him. Soon the druid was half dragged and half dragged out of the tavern by two people, one on the left and one on the right. The tavern owner smiled calmly: "My store welcomes everyone, but drunkards are not welcome. That will bring me trouble. And I don't like trouble."

"I don't like trouble either." Lan Wu laughed, drank the glass of wine in one breath, and then pushed the empty glass to the tavern owner: "Good wine, let's have another glass."

The tavern owner smiled and poured Lan Wu another full cup. After a few words, the two became familiar with each other. Taking advantage of the good atmosphere, Lan Wu took the opportunity to inquire about Echo's news. Knowing that he was looking for Echo to prepare a special potion, the tavern owner shook his head and said, "I suggest you find another pharmacist. Lady Echo is very mysterious. No one knows her whereabouts."

"But I heard from Lord Akara that only Echo can prepare this special potion." Lan Wu intentionally or unintentionally reported Akara's name. In a place like this, reporting Akara's name is obviously more convincing. The reputation of the Eye of the Mind has long spread throughout the human world.

"You actually got the guidance of Lord Akara." The tavern owner seemed very surprised.

"I am a professional from the Rogue Camp." Lan Wu laughed.

"Oh, I actually overlooked this." The tavern owner was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Since it was Lord Akara's advice, it must be correct. But I suggest you don't have too much hope. Lord Echo will only take the initiative to find you. But you can't find her at all."

"Is there really no way?" Lan Wu looked a little depressed, and muttered half-truthfully.

"Uh..." The tavern owner hesitated for a moment, and said embarrassedly, "There are many rumors about Lord Echo. But no one can confirm it."

After a pause, he pointed his chin at a barbarian who was shaking his buttocks on the table not far away, and added, "A few days ago, this barbarian said that he saw those dirty and damn dwarf natives in the huge wetland and took away a woman. He also swore that it was definitely Lord Echo."

As he spoke, he laughed first: "Haha, no one believes that Lord Echo would be taken away by those dwarf natives. Of course, I don't believe it either. He must have seen it wrong."

"No one confirmed the identity of that woman?" Lan Wu became serious. This is a clue. Before it was confirmed, the woman who was taken away was most likely the pharmacist Echo. The huge wetland was not a place that ordinary civilian women could reach. If it was a professional, the barbarian would not be able to see it.

"Well... I haven't heard of any woman missing." The tavern owner hesitated for a while and asked, "Do you think what he said is true?"

"It's possible." Lan Wu nodded and breathed a sigh of relief: "Whether it's the real Lord Echo or not, I have to go and see. This potion is too important to me."

"Do you want me to call him over for you and you can talk about it yourself? You know, this will cost a little bit." The tavern owner was very enthusiastic, and it was obviously not the first time he acted as a middleman.

"Okay, call him over for me. I'll talk to him in person." Lan Wu nodded happily, and at the same time took out a bag of gold coins and pushed it in front of the tavern owner. Being a middleman naturally requires rewards. If you show some generosity, you will definitely get extra benefits.

Sure enough, when the tavern owner heard the heavy feeling of the bag of gold coins falling on the table, the smile on his face became even stronger. He took the gold coins, walked over personally, and pulled the barbarian down. Lan Wu saw him whisper a few words in the barbarian's ear, and then raised his hand and pointed at himself. The barbarian immediately walked over here.

"I am the barbarian Dracula." The barbarian walked up to Lan Wu, briefly introduced himself, and immediately asked impatiently: "Do you want me to take you to the territory of those dwarfs?"

Lan Wu nodded, and did not hide it: "The woman who was captured by the dwarfs may be Lord Echo. I need Lord Echo to prepare a special potion for me. So the boss recommended you to me. As long as you take me there, I will give you a reward that will satisfy you."

"Do you also think that woman is Echo?" The barbarian Dracula was immediately refreshed. No one believed his guess, and now someone believed it, he immediately became interested.

"Rewards are easy to talk about, just give me something, equipment and gold coins are not important." Dracula pushed aside the professional sitting next to him and shouted excitedly: "I will team up with you. I will take you to that place. Let's find that woman together. I want to let them know that they are wrong. By the way, what is your profession?"

"Mage." Lan Wu thought about it and honestly reported the most powerful profession at the moment, and then added: "I also have a companion, who is a good paladin."

"Okay, let's team up. Where is your companion?" Dracula happily pulled Lan Wu to sign a team contract. Warrior, mage and priest, a standard combination, it's really perfect.

"He's still in the hotel." Lan Wu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This barbarian is too enthusiastic.

"What are you waiting for, let's go." Dracula took out a few gold coins, slapped them on the bar, and dragged Lan Wu out of the tavern.

Lan Wu was speechless. Well, this barbarian is not too enthusiastic, but too impatient.
