Chapter 10 Livelihood

The next day, Cowan woke up with a splitting headache.

Half sitting up, he covered his head and moaned for a while, then took out a bottle of high-strength wine from his pocket and drank it all in one gulp.

After a while, the wine was on the head, not only repressing the refreshing feeling in the body, but also anesthetizing the headache of the hangover.

No wonder some people say that drinking alcohol is the best way to relieve the hangover.

After cleaning himself with a spell, Kewen pushed open the door to leave the room and went down the stairs.

As soon as he walked to the middle of the stairs, several voices sounded, and they greeted him with a warm smile.

Kewen rubbed his forehead and walked down the stairs crookedly, all the way to the bar at the door of the kitchen.

After being seated, Kewen said to the bar owner who was wiping the glass: "Boss, give me something to eat and some wine."

"Okay, Mr. Quinn." The bar owner responded with a smile, but added: "But sir, the dwarf spirits were sold out last night, and they can only be purchased from Stormwind City at night. Can I change it for you?"

In order to maintain the character design, Kewen asked: "Is there still a high level of spirits?"

"Dwarven mead."

The boss turned around and took a full glass from the wine barrel with a wooden cup, and pushed the wine glass with a lot of foam in front of Kewen: "You can taste this, although it is not as good as 'dwarven spirits', but it is better than Other wines are stronger."

Kewen lifted the glass and drank it with his head up.

The taste is actually good, the degree is relatively high, but it does not burn the throat like 'Dwarf Spirit', and it has a little sweetness.

Soon, a fiery feeling emanated from his stomach and esophagus. Kewen put down the empty glass with a burp, pushed it back to the boss and said, "That's it, a few more glasses!"

The boss responded with a smile, took Kewen several glasses of mead, and walked out of the bar to the kitchen to arrange meals.

Kewen turned around and glanced at the empty hall, and then asked a waitress who happened to come here, "What time is it outside? Is business bad today?"

"Your Majesty~" The waiter filled with an intimate smile: "It's only in the morning, and there will be no one to come to our place to spend some time in the evening."

"Oh..." Kewen nodded and asked again, "Who are the guys who drank with me yesterday er... Who are they?"

"Natanali and the others?" the waiter reminded.

"That's right, it's them." Kewen asked pretending to be amnesia. "Where did they go? I remember saying yesterday that if I get drunk, I will continue to invite everyone to drink today."

The waiter smiled more friendly: "They went out for an adventure. I heard them say in the morning, it seems that they are going to look around the gold mine to see if they can find the kobold who stole the gold."

Kewen was slightly stunned, and reacted instantly.

That's right, it's not a game now. Several mines in Elwynn Forest are still under the control of Stormwind City. They haven't been occupied by kobolds like in the game...

Soon after the food came up, Kewen tasted it and could only say that he could barely eat it.

He doesn't like the sour and greasy feel of cheese, just like he doesn't like the greasy taste of durian.

However, his character was an alcoholic wandering mage, so he could only suppress his appetite and devoured the plate of food in front of him indiscriminately.

Next, while there were no customers in the store, Kewen began to inquire about the innkeeper on the second floor and the bar owner on the first floor.

He didn't ask any sensitive questions, he just asked some gossip, and then mixed it with some questions about the situation in the kingdom.

Chatting to noon, the store began to have customers.

The boss was busy entertaining guests, so Kewen went upstairs and went back to the guest room.

Sitting by the window and looking out into the small town, Kewen sorted out all the information in his mind.

Through communication, we learned that there has not yet been an orc invasion event opened by the ‘Dark Gate’, and the interior of the kingdom has been peaceful.

The biggest news I got from the shop owners was just where the king set up an outpost to garrison troops.

Kewen wanted to find out if the 'Gate of Darkness' was established, but this is the real world, and the area where the 'Gate of Darkness' is located is not yet called the 'Curse Land'.

Moreover, the huge 'Dark Gate' was only established after the orcs invaded, and nothing can be seen in the past.

As a result, Kewen also gave up the idea. It has nothing to do with him anyway, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't confirm the time point...

Towards dinner time, the wagon sent by the pub owner to restock Stormwind returns.

On the front and back feet, the group of adventurers who fought with Kewen last night also seemed to be stepping on a meal and came back to the 'Pride of the Lion King'.

A group of adventurers who had returned from the dusty and dusty found the figure of Kewen as soon as they entered the hotel lobby.

The brawny man who was sitting on the right side of Kewen immediately burst out with joy last night, waving his hand and saying loudly, "Hey! Lady Queen, how was your sleep last night?"

A chuckle sounded from the hall. The already full hall was still filled with the same old faces from yesterday. Obviously, they all wanted to come over to see if Kewen could fulfill his promise and still treat everyone today.

At this time, Kewen heard the greeting and couldn't help but turn around at the bar.

After seeing the adventurer team, he responded with a smile: "It's you, by the way, you..."

Kewen stared at the strong man, he really still didn't know his name.

"Tagel." The strong man patted his chest and smiled.

"Tagger what?" Kewen asked with nodding.

"It's Tagle." The strong man was not at all embarrassed: "I'm from a commoner, and I don't have a family name."

"Really?" Kewen was slightly surprised, looked at the other party and smiled: "Then you are really amazing, you can have such strength as a commoner."

"Hey..." Tagle smiled.

At this time, the adventurer team also came to the long table near the bar and took their seats.

Seeing this, Kewen took out two gold coins from his pocket, pushed them from the bar to the bar owner, raised his voice slightly and said with a smile: "Fulfill the promise made yesterday, and I will invite everyone to party tonight."

"To the Queen—"

Some townspeople immediately raised their glasses and cheered, and then responded to the film, and the diners who had been waiting for a long time raised their glasses and cheered.

The Coventry Cup toasted everyone, and then took a seat at the table of the adventurer team, and said with a smile, "What are you talking about? Can I listen?"

"Of course!" The man named Galken Garland nodded with a smile: "We're talking about making a living."

Saying that, Galken put his hand into his pocket, took out a small handful of 'Golden Beans' and placed it on the dining table, and there was a sound of 'crashing'.

There are about twenty golden beans, each about the size of a small fingernail.

There was some helplessness in Galken's smile, and he raised his chin to Jindouzi: "Look, Madam Queen, this is what we have achieved today."

Kewen waved his hand and shook his head with a smile: "Call me Kewen, it was a joke yesterday."

"Haha okay Kewen."

Galken responded with a smile, and the other four laughed as well.

Kewen stretched out his hand to bring the golden beans together, and then asked, "Is this from the 'kobold'?"

"That's right." Galken responded: "The gold stolen from the gold mine by the kobolds will not be collected by the kingdom from everyone. This is considered a livelihood for adventurers like us."

Kewen nodded: "It's good for everyone. If you get rich, the kingdom can also eliminate the hidden dangers of kobolds."

"Yes, that's right." Galken nodded.

"Then these..." Kewen fiddled with the golden beans with his fingers: "How much can these be exchanged for?"

Natanali stretched out her hand and divided the golden beans into five pieces. After dividing a few pieces in front of each teammate, she shrugged and said, "About four gold coins."

As Kewen nodded, the other four began to break up their fingers in unison.

Kewen was surprised and couldn't help but say, "This is you?"

Natanali rolled her eyes and scolded helplessly: "Don't show your shameful brains, eighty silver coins each!"

The other four suddenly realized, and then laughed stupidly.

Kewen managed to hold back, did not laugh out loud, and immediately changed the subject after a dry cough: "In this case, your income for a day is pretty good."

"What can you do..." Natanali sighed: "With this money, after removing the cost of maintaining weapons, and removing the daily supply cost, there are not a few coppers left at all."

"Hey..." Tagle smiled at Kewen: "I should have a lot of leftovers today. In today's battle, my shield has not been worn much. When I sent it to Blacksmith Po for maintenance, the blacksmith told me that. "

The other four made a 'bah' almost at the same time, and Galken was a little sad: "My long sword is about to be scrapped, and the money I saved is not enough to buy a new one, hey..."

Natanali spread her hands: "I'm about the same, you know, the daggers of the three of us are the fastest worn."

The other two thin men nodded in agreement at the same time.

Galken scratched his head, and then said: "I think we should go for a big one."

"What?" Tagle asked naively.

"Murlocs." Galken stretched out his hand and pointed to the west: "Murlocs on the west side of Fertile Wilderness."

Hearing this, the others became hesitant. After thinking about it, the two men who were still not qualified to get their names shook their heads.

One of the men said, "Sorry Galken, if we're going to fight the murlocs over there, the two of us won't be involved."

The other man nodded in agreement: "Yes, with the strength of the five of us, we can't defeat any mermaid tribe at all. If we only kill the periphery, we won't make any money at all."

Galken's smile was a little reluctant, and he sighed and shook his head: "It doesn't matter, I'll just say that."

The atmosphere was a little stiff, the two men looked at each other, seemed embarrassed to stay any longer, got up and said goodbye, and walked to other tables...
