Chapter 80: Mixed Stew and Spellcasters

The tavern's unique clamor quickly filled Luge's heart, which had been desolate for a long time.

It didn't take long to wait; a worm shell as big as a head was placed before him, inside were some overcooked meat and a pile of miscellaneous unrecognizable things soaked together in broth, the smell wasn't bad.

He didn't look down on this worm shell mixed stew's appearance, but ate it up happily with a spoon; you have to know that recently he still couldn't get hot food a few times. And his digestive ability is very strong now, he doesn't know if this worm shell can be eaten, or if the shopkeeper intends it to be used as a plate.

Kalu sitting opposite likewise had a face full of novelty, but was much more elegant than Luge, using a spoon to scoop out a piece of every different thing in the mixed stew and send it into his mouth, the look of chewing slowly as if tasting some peerless delicacy.

Black Worm Wine, as the name suggests, is a large cup of black water.

Luge doesn't really like to drink, but still drank it all, then holding another cup of Sour Mushroom Wine, eating the mixed stew while carefully savoring it.

Creak!

The tavern door was gently pushed open.

Luge, cheeks bulging, raised his head; he had sat here a good while, and truly hadn't seen such a gentle, slow door-pusher — in this mixed place roughness is the mainstream.

"Even in the Yuanwo Area, Spellcasters are not absolutely unseen; for example, some low-rank Wild Wizard Apprentices in mercenary groups, or some people evading the Underground City Nobles' warrants — of course basically all are Wild Wizard Apprentices, Nobles absolutely dare not provoke real Wizards." Kalu, chewing a piece of meat in the mixed stew, suddenly spoke.

Kalu seems to like Black Worm Wine very much; for Sour Mushroom Wine he only tasted a little and set it aside.

Luge saw it in his eyes, and wanted to reach out and take it over to help him finish it.

Just at this moment, a handsome young man walked into the tavern; this gentle door-pusher had behind him a red-haired beauty who looked slightly older than him.

The two entered the tavern, looked around once, and sat at the table next to Luge and Kalu.

The handsome tall thin young man, seeing Luge turning his head to look at him, when seating himself even returned a smile and nodded in greeting.

This young man seemed to find everything novel, touching here and there; that beauty just sat there ignoring it, only feeling Luge's gaze and glancing back once.

Luge buried his head and continued eating, taking the opportunity to finally take Kalu's Sour Mushroom Wine over.

He felt he should order another portion; this mixed stew portion is very large, and indeed very mixed, but his appetite is even larger, and it suits his taste quite well.

"Do you have any recommendations? Or can you leave a menu for me to consider..."

Luge vaguely heard the neighboring table's voices, and felt these words sounded somewhat familiar.

He raised his head wanting to call a waiter, and discovered that full-faced ruffian was standing right at the neighboring table, even frowning and turning to look at him once.

But immediately after he understood; that young man likewise had his companion across the table pay the bill.

Soon, Luge's second portion of worm shell mixed stew was served; he continued eating, and the previous portion's worm shell he also bit crushed and ate.

The neighboring table also ordered worm shell mixed stew, served a bit earlier than Luge's second portion, but by the time Luge finished his second portion, that young man had only moved a small mouthful, while that red-haired beauty had already finished the mixed stew.

"We should go, or do you want to stay and watch the show." Kalu said with a beaming smile.

Luge holding the still half-remaining Sour Mushroom Wine looked to the side; sure enough there was already a good show about to start.

A few drunk guys swaying bumped into that young man, then tangled with him; amidst the shouts another five or six people appeared surrounding that table, and two even viciously turned back to glare at Luge watching the excitement, but Luge just calmly sipped the last bit of Sour Mushroom Wine.

Suddenly, light flashed, and then came miserable screams.

Luge subconsciously looked at Kalu, but saw the other party just pouted their lips.

"Spellcasters are not only Wizards, you ignorant little Kobolds." Kalu said.

Luge was stunned for a moment; he discovered he seemed to be bound by inertial thinking.

"Of course, if going higher up, then only Wizards; so what you thought also counts as correct. Other Supernatural Paths, at most at the peak are only equivalent to an ordinary First Circle Official Wizard, but they find it hard to reach the peak, and even need Wizards' help." Kalu said smiling.

Luge looked toward the neighboring table again; the burly men blocking the view had already fallen in a large area.

Two pink gemstones, emitting faint light, circled around the red-haired woman, like one large and one small cute flying insects; the large one two circles bigger than a normal person's eyeball, the small one only half a fingernail in size.

Suddenly, the small gemstone moved, piercing through the knee of a man trying to escape; the man screamed and fell.

"Spellcaster!"

"It's a Spellcaster!"

In the tavern, seemingly belatedly, someone cried out in alarm, then in an instant it fell quiet again, even Luge's slurping drinking sounds could be heard clearly.

The red-haired woman glanced at Luge, and pushing the silent handsome young man, left through the door.

"Her Supernatural Path is Gem Summoner, not too common; requires successfully contracting a Fairy Gemstone belonging to oneself; very popular in mercenary groups and among Adventurers; people of this path generally have strange treasure-seeking abilities, and over time accumulate a certain ability to appraise treasures." Kalu said, standing up.

"The Supernatural World is more interesting than you think; seeing more different things is also an indispensable step on a Wizard's growth path; some Fifth-Rank Wizard Apprentices, before Promotion, will embark on a journey lasting several years, and sometimes inadvertently find their true path."

Kalu spoke while already walking out of the tavern.

Luge pondered and followed.

The two wandered around, finally at the town edge spending five Moon Coins to obtain a small courtyard.

"This room belongs to me; if there's nothing don't come disturb me; you can wander around as you like; when it's time to leave, I'll wait for you to leave together."

Kalu spoke, ducked into the room, and closed the door.

Luge looked at the closed door, then scanned the not-large courtyard, and suddenly became excited.

Does this count as a home?

A temporary home, the first home in this world?

Although it doesn't look as spacious as his three-sided transparent large bedroom, at least all four sides are enclosed.

He walked back and forth in the yard, and propped up the broken gate straight, just planning to enter his own room to take a look.

"Hey, big guy over there—"

A child's voice came.

Luge tilted his head to look; it came from the neighboring courtyard.

"Wow, you're so ugly, but I've seen uglier; before there was a group of mercenaries, their Captain's face was beaten flat, eating had to be from the side, and there was a Vice-Captain with vertical pupils and scales on his face..." the child tiptoed at the wall, only half a head showing, said.

"Do you have any business?" Luge asked curiously.

"You've been cheated; this isn't a sturdy house; in the Yuanwo sturdiness is the only standard; you look like outsiders, they specialize in cheating outsiders, but they probably haven't seen your appearance, otherwise they'd definitely be scared stiff; the foundation stones here are no good either, some missing parts just filled with rubble, careful a Burrowing Worm suddenly comes out and swallows you in one gulp!" the child said seriously.

He cooperated with an exaggerated shocked expression, but in his heart was thinking his Companion Magic Pet Little Clever Worm had snacks.

However, with so many ugly guys wandering around here, he could try bringing Aijin and Dasha out, he thought.
