Chapter 163: Whiskey worth one gold coin

"A glass of Three-Leaf Whiskey, please!"

The white mask blocked his face, and the Little Red Umbrella hanging on his arm and the crow on his shoulder all showed that this guest in a gentleman's outfit was a mysterious and powerful traveler.

"Sir is visiting Mingxing Cheng for the first time, right? What information do you want to buy?"

Except for the mask, crow, and Little Red Umbrella, just looking at the black tailcoat, Xie Yaoyao actually looked very similar to the bartender's outfit.

Three-Leaf Whiskey was the code Nie Yingying told Xie Yaoyao. As a major stronghold of the Assassin Alliance, "Shadow Duke" naturally also worked part-time in the business of buying and selling intelligence.

"Bloodline entry, the latest intelligence!"

The bartender looked up at Xie Yaoyao. The pale mask naturally couldn't show any expression, but the bartender's surprised expression was seen completely by Xie Yaoyao, and the other party didn't mean to hide it at all.

"One gold coin!"

Eh?!

Is it... that cheap?

This is intelligence concerning a bloodline entry. Xie Yaoyao had already prepared himself to be ripped off for hundreds of gold coins.

The bartender seemed to see Xie Yaoyao's surprise, poured a glass of whiskey, pushed it gently in front of Xie Yaoyao, and explained.

"Intelligence concerning bloodline entries has always been one of the most precious pieces of intelligence, but there is only one piece of intelligence about bloodline entries in Mingxing Cheng recently, the only one, and in fact, this intelligence is almost considered semi-public intelligence now."

With the bartender saying so, Xie Yaoyao became even more interested.

He didn't intend to waste time going elsewhere to inquire about this semi-public intelligence. He flipped his hand, took out a gold coin from his personal space, placed it on the bar, and pushed it over gently.

The bartender didn't expect that even after he had said so, this mysterious guest was still willing to spend a gold coin to buy the intelligence. Sure enough, this person is a big expert who isn't short of money!

Accepting the gold coin, the bartender took a note from behind the bar and handed it over, thought for a moment, and said again.

"Our wine is actually quite good too, guest, you can try it!"

After speaking, he pointed to the wine he had just poured for Xie Yaoyao, seemingly trying hard to prove that even if the intelligence wasn't worth much, adding a glass of good whiskey would mean you wouldn't be that much at a loss!

Nodding, Xie Yaoyao took the note, picked up the glass of Three-Leaf Whiskey, and walked silently to a corner of the tavern to sit down.

This move caused a burst of loud laughter from a bearded man who had been watching him next to the bar.

The big man pointed at Xie Yaoyao and mocked him loudly without any concealment.

"Hahahaha, another toad trying to get a bite of Baixue's plot mission! Hahahaha, Harry, I say you guys in the Assassin Alliance could make a fortune just by slaughtering such fat sheep!"

And the crowd in the tavern also burst into laughter after hearing the bearded man's words.

"Is there another ignorant toad from outside wanting to eat swan meat? Haha, which guy spread this ghost news? These idiots running here just to hire a carriage must have spent quite a bit of money!"

"Hahaha, I think the news must have been released by our own alliance, just to earn this one gold coin intelligence fee, hahaha, although the gold coin isn't much, there are just too many fools! Hahaha!"

Soon Xie Yaoyao knew why this group of people would mock him so crazily.

"The Queen of the Rhine Kingdom has issued a mission to recruit guards. Well-informed people point out that this is a sign that the Baixue plot is about to begin. As long as you can become the Queen's guard, you will definitely be able to obtain the Baixue plot mission. At that time, entries, props, all can be harvested."

"P. S.: According to analysis by well-informed people, as long as you complete the Baixue plot mission, you have a chance to obtain the 'Mirror Demon' bloodline entry. That magic mirror 100% possesses the 'Mirror Demon' bloodline!"

Xie Yaoyao knows about the Mirror Demon bloodline. Just the ability to shuttle freely between mirrors could make all assassins jealous.

Strike once and flee a thousand miles away!

Is it cool or what!

But in Mingxing Cheng, there are ten or eight pieces of news about Baixue plot missions every year. As old residents of Mingxing Cheng, they have already become immune to such news. Only many outside travelers run over excitedly to test the waters, and every time they test, they don't make a sound!

Xie Yaoyao naturally wouldn't care about the mockery of the people in the tavern. He just couldn't figure out that Nie Yingying is also a traveler who has been mixing in the Rhine Kingdom, so how could she fall for this kind of trick?

There is no other news about bloodline entries in Mingxing Cheng recently, so this piece of news is Nie Yingying's only choice.

Sigh!

Forget it, let's go to the palace first to see what's going on!

Xie Yaoyao picked up the whiskey on the table, and a crack opened in the pale mask, allowing him to gulp down the wine worth one gold coin in one go.

It didn't taste good at all!

Xie Yaoyao stood up and walked out.

Just two streets later, Xie Yaoyao walked into a small alley and stopped.

Two beggars were originally curled up in the small alley, but they fled without hesitation after seeing Xie Yaoyao's outfit.

Waiting quietly for five minutes, Xie Yaoyao had already impatiently started playing games with Little Red Umbrella Annie, and a big head full of beards finally emerged from the alley entrance.

Xie Yaoyao, Lilisi, and Annie, three pairs of eyes looked over together, and the bearded man was stunned on the spot.

Especially Annie's posture floating in the air and her bright, watery eyes brought huge pressure to the bearded man.

Such a unique Little Red Umbrella is definitely not something an ordinary traveler can obtain!

"Brother! Brother, don't misunderstand! I have no malice!"

The bearded man scratched his smooth head and moved into the alley with a simple and honest face.

"Brother, my name is Hans, I really have no malice, I was just joking in the tavern just now!"

Gently holding Annie's umbrella handle, Xie Yaoyao nodded slightly.

"Anything?"

Seeing that Xie Yaoyao didn't immediately attack, the bearded Hans relaxed quite a bit.

"Brother is going to the palace to apply for a guard position, right? Can we form a team? I'll go with you!"

"Didn't you say that the intelligence was fake?"

Hans looked up at the sky, wondering why it was suddenly drizzling on such a fine day.

"Hehe, brother, to tell you the truth, I said that on purpose. On one hand, to confuse the public, and on the other hand, to find an expert like brother to form a team."

"Why should I form a team with you?"

Hans chuckled, rubbed his smooth head, and said.

"Brother, I have intelligence, more detailed and accurate intelligence than the one you spent a gold coin to buy."

Xie Yaoyao's right pinky finger twitched slightly, but in the end, he resisted the urge to attack directly.

"Why are you looking for me?"

Hearing Xie Yaoyao say this, Hans immediately became energetic.

"Brother, listen to me, I, Hans, have no other skills, but these eyes of mine will never be wrong when looking at people. Brother looks like an expert at first glance. If I can join forces with you, the possibility of me successfully completing the mission will greatly increase. Of course, I am willing to cooperate with an expert!" ===== CHAPTER 164 =====
