Chapter 396: Price, Sea View Room, Departure

"Me?"

Hela's corners of her mouth couldn't stop rising, a smile spread on her face, obviously Xia Nan's words were quite useful to her.

"You really think highly of me."

"To tell you the truth, although I did receive their invitation many years ago, you know, I couldn't participate."

"And since that time, I have also been excluded from their 'Moon Tide Feast' list."

Hela's identity was the owner of the "Three-legged Sea Dog" tavern, one of the largest information merchants in Suoyu Wan, combined with the channels left by her father and her own years of hard work, she had a certain relationship with many forces in the Nanfang Qundao.

Under these circumstances, let alone secretly, but on the surface, the intricate relationships between those forces required her to maintain an absolutely neutral attitude.

Once there was a tilt, it was easy to lead to the interruption of some channels, and even become hostile to the forces behind the channels.

The "Moon Tide Feast" that "Algae-Scale" Duo De participated in, perhaps the scale was large enough, but to be honest, even a wanted criminal like him could be invited to participate, the complexity of the banquet guests could be imagined.

If Hela attended the banquet, she could naturally further expand her channels in the Nanfang Qundao, but she also had considerable risks, which would affect the relationship network she had already established in Suoyu Wan.

Although she was full of ambition, she made a more secure choice after weighing the pros and cons at that time.

"However..."

Hela suddenly changed the topic.

A pair of emerald eyes blinked, flashing with a thought-provoking brilliance.

A certain period of contact allowed her to know that this young adventurer across from her had an introverted emotion, and his thoughts were not often revealed, so she stopped selling off and directly gave her proposal to the other party.

"I actually know someone who just received an invitation to the 'Moon Tide Feast' over there not long ago."

"If you want, I can introduce her to you."

"Of course, whether the other party is willing to take you, or what kind of reward to pay, depends on yourself."

Understanding the subtext in the tavern owner's words, Xia Nan's expression didn't change much because the plan to find the 【Dream Weaving Corridor】 key had made a breakthrough, only after pondering for a moment, he raised his head and looked at the woman with a smile on her lips and dark green long hair across the table.

"Then... what about the price?"

"How much reward do I need to pay for your introduction?"

Thinking that she had already planned it in her heart, Xia Nan's question didn't make Hela feel surprised, and she even quite easily picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Then she replied with a light smile:

"Hehe, no need to be so serious, just a transaction."

"I will introduce you to this relationship that can go to the 'Moon Tide Feast', and at the same time, the reward for the information about 'Algae-Scale' Duo De just now can be counted in it, and no extra fees will be charged."

"And in return, I need you to do one thing for me."

Sure enough...

Knowing that the other party had a plan, Xia Nan remained calm on the surface, thoughts surging in his mind.

He didn't answer, just stared at the woman across the table quietly.

"Rest assured, it's not a difficult task."

"If you are lucky, you will be back in a few days, maybe you don't even need to draw the two long swords behind you."

"I need you to help me deliver a batch of goods."

"Clatter..."

The gauze curtains by the window swayed and fluttered.

The sound of tides hitting the reef shore and the noise of the crowd at the distant port were mixed together, surging into the warm room under the wrapping of the slightly salty sea breeze.

Xia Nan stood fully armed by the desk, the 【Tangerine】 dagger in his hand was raised high, reflecting the sunlight outside the window, squinting his eyes and looking carefully.

His wrist twisted slightly, and the sharp edge of the pink crystal refracted a glass-like translucent luster under the sunlight, casting a dazzling pink on the mattress behind him.

This trophy from the priest of Yangjiao Town, although its own attributes were average, had almost nothing to praise except for its toughness.

But it had to be admitted that its appearance was quite good.

When Xia Nan first got it, he even felt a bit reluctant to use it as a skinning knife to cut trophy materials, feeling uncomfortable looking at its gorgeous translucent blade stained with blood, and only gradually got used to it later.

Standing in the sunlight and enjoying it for a while, he inserted 【Tangerine】 back into the leather sheath at his waist.

At this moment, three days had passed since the casino trip.

For the 【Dream Weaving Corridor】 key, he agreed to the transaction with Hela, helping the other party transport a batch of goods in the capacity of a guard.

Today was the day of departure.

Three days, not long, not short.

For Xia Nan, a newcomer who had just arrived in Suoyu Wan, all he could do was familiarize himself with the environment, or inquire about some information that was not very important.

He originally wanted to find a blacksmith shop and try to repair 【Lianyu Pulse】.

This excellent (green) quality equipment forged by "Rock Hammer" Ba'en combined with purgatory steel and other special materials was damaged in the battle with that priest in Yangjiao Town, and the iron plate near the chest appeared with obvious dents.

But after inquiring, he learned that if he wanted to completely repair this armor, gold coins were one aspect, and the other most important thing was that it would take at least a week.

Xia Nan was about to go to sea to escort goods for Hela, so if he wanted to repair it, he had to deposit the armor in the blacksmith shop.

Under the circumstances that the equipment in the shop was only of ordinary quality, and enchanted equipment needed more time to customize, he decided to wear it like this for the time being, and talk about it after the mission returned.

The grade and material of 【Lianyu Pulse】 were there, even if damaged, its defensive performance was still far superior to those standard equipment that came out of the same mold on the shelves of the blacksmith shop.

Dealing with ordinary battles was already completely enough.

Standing in place, his black eyes turned slightly, Xia Nan's gaze swept across the room.

Three days of living, making this high-end guest room in the "Three-legged Sea Dog" tavern with a price reaching "2 silver coins/night", compared to when he first moved in, had a few more traces of life.

The curved arched window facing the sea was opened, and as the double-layer gauze curtains swayed, it revealed the clear and bright ocean in the distance that was as dazzling as blue-green gems, vaguely seeing the ships coming and going and the seagulls circling and calling above;

The floor was covered with woven wool blankets from the east of the continent, and the walls on both sides hung with decorative two-handed swords, star compass-like paintings, and navigation charts of the nearby sea area;

The center of the room was placed with a huge four-poster bed that could sleep three people, the dark oak bed posts were carved with exquisite spiral patterns, and indigo curtains were half-hanging above.

It was also a good place to eat.

Since crossing over, this was the first time Xia Nan had lived in such a high-end room.

But it had to be admitted that the price of two silver coins a night was indeed worth it. ===== CHAPTER 397 =====

But it must be admitted that the price of these two gold coins for one night was indeed worth it.
