They were two elves dressed as adventurers, but their equipment was much better than the adventurers Old John had seen before.
No, perhaps it was no longer appropriate to describe them as excellent. In Old John's opinion, the equipment on them looked more like exquisite works of art.
It was shiny and majestic.
Whether it was a Druid wearing a robe or a warrior wearing armor, it was the same.
Damn it, he could now distinguish between a Druid and a Mage!
This was all thanks to the popular science of the Druid apprentice who often came to the tavern to drink!
Looking at the gorgeous robes on the elves and the patterns unique to Druids, Old John couldn't help but ridicule in his heart.
Then … he couldn't help but take a few more glances.
It couldn't be helped, these two elves were really too good-looking.
Even if they were both men, their delicate chins and skin more tender than milk made it difficult for people to look away.
Old John swore that even those pampered noble ladies weren't so tender!
However, when the elves' eyes swept over, he hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at them.
It was said that elves were all powerful professionals and were born with the ability to master powerful magic.
And ordinary people would always be in awe in front of professionals.
Although Old John was only a mortal, he could still feel the powerful aura of these elves.
They were like noble creatures from another world, completely out of place in the messy environment of the tavern.
Hiss … Damn it, the wound hurts again.
Old John felt that the wound on his back seemed to be torn open again. He trembled and touched it, his hand was covered in blood …
"Shit!"
He couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
However, this vulgar slang was so clear in the quiet tavern that everyone focused their eyes on him, including those elves.
Feeling the elves' gaze, Old John's face suddenly turned pale.
Professionals were high and mighty, and for them, ordinary people without power were like weeds on the roadside.
Offending a professional would result in a miserable outcome.
Even if it was an elf!
Old John had heard that the elves were not as benevolent as the legends said. He had heard a lot of stories about elven adventurers told by bards.
They killed decisively and were powerful.
As long as it was their enemy, they would not have a good ending in the end!
Of course, the reputation of the elven adventurers was quite polarized. Some said that they were good, while others said that they were bad.
But no matter what, as an ordinary person, he just wanted to live a peaceful life.
John Senior trembled with fear, his throat dry.
He wanted to apologize and explain that his words were not directed at the elves, but because of his nervousness, he did not know where to start …
However, before he could say anything, the elves retracted their gazes.
They did not seem to care about him at all.
I'm … fine?
John Senior was stunned, as if he had been granted amnesty.
Then, he hurriedly shrank back into the tavern and tried his best to hide in the shadows, pretending to be invisible.
Of course, he could not help but secretly size up these good-looking long ears.
I've never seen him before, so I'm curious.
The two elves entered the tavern and came to the bar counter.
Before they could sit down, someone immediately gave up their seat.
Everyone was used to this kind of thing.
When facing powerful professionals, ordinary people could only tremble in fear to not make any mistakes.
Especially after the Magic Revival, there were almost daily rumors of professionals killing people in some tavern. Even the city guards were too lazy to care about this kind of thing.
Even the elves did not dare to gamble.
"Three cups of elven flower tea."
The elven druid in the lead said to the bartender.
Three cups?
John Senior was slightly taken aback.
However, the next second, the door of the tavern was pushed open again, and this time, another elf walked in.
It was a female.
Her appearance was better looking than the previous male elf, so good that people could not take their eyes off her. John Senior even heard the gasps in the tavern.
He saw her frown at first, as if she was not used to the smell in the tavern, but soon her expression returned to normal.
"Rustle, here, here!"
The red-haired warrior next to the elven druid hurriedly waved enthusiastically and patted the seat next to her.
The female elf rolled her eyes at her, pursed her lips in disgust, and then sat next to the elven druid.
At that moment, John Senior seemed to see the elven warrior's smile stiffen slightly.
The elves sat down with a strong aura.
However, after hearing the elves' request, the bartender's expression was a little awkward.
He carefully looked at the elves and said apologetically, "Lord Elves, we don't have fancy flower tea.
We don't have high-end drinks like flower tea here. In the entire Lyc City, perhaps only the noble bar in the inner city has it … "
The elves raised their eyebrows.
The druid in the lead waved his hand and said indifferently, "It's fine.
"It's fine, it's fine. Bring me your best drinks."
As he said that, he handed over a gold pound.
"Gold pound!"
The bartender's eyes widened, and his expression quickly became flattering.
"Alright, Lord Elves, please wait a moment! I'll arrange it for you right away! "
After a while, three glasses of white wine were placed in front of the elves.
John Senior recognized that it seemed to be the Erguotou that the owner of the tavern treasured. It was said that it was bought from a black market merchant at a high price.
"You actually have this?"
The two male elves' eyes lit up.
However, the female elf shook her head.
"I'll drink fruit juice, please change it to fruit juice."
"Al … Alright!"
The bartender stammered as he glanced at the beautiful female elf. He changed the white wine and brought out a glass of freshly squeezed fruit juice.
The three elves nodded in satisfaction and drank to their heart's content.
Gradually, the tavern regained its hustle and bustle. The bards began to play music again, the adventurers continued to play Gwent, and the idlers and drunkards continued to play Gomoku.
However, the voices were much softer than before. If one looked carefully, they would discover that almost everyone was secretly observing the three elves.
The three elves chatted with the bartender as they drank their wine and fruit juice.
"Sir, we are adventurers from the Elven Forest. You can call me Li Mu. Is there any interesting news around here recently?"
The elven druid asked with a smile.
His smile was very amiable, and one could not help but have a good impression of him.
As he said that, he took out another gold pound and placed it in front of the bartender.
Gold … Gold pound!
Another one!
John Senior's eyes widened, and his face was full of envy.
A gold pound was equivalent to a hundred silver coins, which was equivalent to his income for three to four months!
The bartender was overwhelmed by the favor.
He glanced at the gold pound, then looked at the smiling elf. He hurriedly kept the gold pound, then said flatteringly and enthusiastically.
"Lord Elf, you're right to ask me! I know this best! "
"Recently … A few days ago, there was a beast tide in the northern icy plains, and it even attacked a town at the border. I heard that many people died."
"Also … Lord signed an alliance with Marquis Weimar a few days ago. He might be making a move against Earl Meath in the south."
"It's said that a new magic stone vein was discovered in the western region, and it seems that magic crystals have been extracted …"
The bartender spoke with a smile of exultation, and the elves listened attentively.
"We've heard of all this. Is there anything else?"
The elven warrior asked.
The bartender scratched his head and thought for a while. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
"Oh, I forgot to say, there's more! It's said that a Megalosaurus came to the mine outside the city! "
"Megalosaurus? What Megalosaurus? "
The three elves were instantly interested.
Noticing their expressions, the bartender hurriedly gestured exaggeratedly.
"A huge Megalosaurus! It's said that it destroyed the entire mine! "
As he spoke, he pointed at Old John, who was hiding at the side.
"Old John saw it with his own eyes! He was originally mining in the mine! "
Old John was startled by the bartender's sudden shout.
The three elves turned their gazes over in unison, causing his heart to almost stop beating.
"Lord … Lord Elf …"
Old John stammered.
Although these elves seemed rather gentle, he could not help but feel nervous when facing them.
"You saw a Megalosaurus? What kind of Megalosaurus? "
The red-haired elven warrior asked curiously.
Then, as if noticing the bloodstains on his body, he raised his eyebrows slightly.
"You're injured? Did a Megalosaurus do this? "
Meeting the other party's gaze, Old John became even more nervous.
However, before he could say anything, the red-haired elf suddenly chanted an obscure incantation.
A golden light bloomed on his body, and countless pale golden photons appeared in his hands. Then, the photons flew toward Old John and entered his body under his horrified gaze.
However, the moment the photons entered, Old John's horror turned into astonishment.
He only felt a warm force flowing through his body, and the burning pain gradually disappeared.
And when he lifted his clothes to take a look, he was shocked to find that the hideous scars had all disappeared.
Not only that, he felt as if he had been reborn, and his entire body seemed to be filled with strength in an instant!
It was as if he had suddenly become a dozen years younger.
"Life Divine Spell! He's a Life Priest! "
The adventurer's exclamation came from the tavern.
Life Divine Spell? Life Priest?
Old John was slightly taken aback.
Then, he finally realized what had happened and hurriedly bowed to the red-haired elf, his voice choked with emotion.
"Thank you! Thank you, Lord Elf! Thank you … Thank you for your treatment … "
To be able to heal his injuries in an instant, and even all the old ailments on his body were cured. This was definitely not a beginner healing divine spell!
No …
Even the intermediate healing divine spells of the Eternal Church couldn't be so powerful!
He had seen a priest use it on a patient before, and the effect was definitely not as magical as this!
Facing Old John's excited gaze, the elf laughed and waved his hand.
"It's nothing, a small matter, a small matter … Just tell us what you know!"
But soon, he frowned again.
"Good lord … A treatment consumed so much of my magic power … How many injuries did you suffer? Eh … No, there are still remnants of violent magic power in your body … It's because purifying this magic power consumed too much magic power … "
"Tsk, mining … What mine did you dig? When did you start doing it? What's the matter with the Megalosaurus? "
Hearing the elf's inquiry, Old John sighed and said.
"Lord Elf, it's a gold mine outside the city. It's been many years. I fled from the south last year. At that time, they were recruiting miners, so I signed up to make a living."
"Gold mine? A year? You tormented your body like this in a year? Are you mining or writing web novels? "
The elf warrior looked surprised.
"Web novel?"
Old John was stunned.
"Uh … Nothing, is it just a gold mine?"
The elf changed the topic and asked again.
"It used to be. The gold mine in Lyc City was still very famous in the empire, but … Last year, someone dug out a magic stone vein under the gold mine."
Old John thought for a while and replied.
"What about the Megalosaurus?"
The elf asked again, seeming to be quite curious.
"The Megalosaurus suddenly appeared in the mine a few days ago. It occupied the mine, drove away all the miners, and didn't let us get close."
Old John continued.
"Drove away all the miners?"
The elf warrior was slightly stunned.
"Strange … According to what I know, shouldn't they leave the miners to help them mine gold?"
The female elf looked puzzled.
The Elven Druid pondered for a few seconds and asked, "What's the matter?
"What did the Megalosaurus you saw look like?"
"This … It … It was too big. I didn't see it clearly. Everyone said it was a dragon. I think … it should be a dragon. It was huge, had scales, and wings. It was exactly the same as the Megalosaurus described by the bards."
Old John shook his head.
"What about the color?"
The elf asked again.
Old John hesitated for a moment and said,
"It seemed … It seemed to be golden … just like the color of gold …"
"Golden … Golden Dragon?"
The elves looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
"Golden Dragon? Heh, interesting … I think I know what's going on … "
The elf warrior touched his chin.
As he spoke, he looked Old John up and down again.
"So … the injuries on your body weren't caused by the Megalosaurus?"
Old John nodded.
"No …"
As he spoke, he sighed again and gritted his teeth.
"It's those damn nobles! After losing the mine, they vented their anger on us … They didn't even pay us! "
"Nobles …"
Hearing his words, the elves sighed faintly.
"Heh, the nobles here are all the same. In their eyes, commoners aren't even as good as the dogs they raise."
The elf warrior sneered and shook his head.
After that, he looked at his companions again.
"Brother Mu, Ruffian, how about it? Do you want to go to the mine and take a look? Anyway, there's still some time before the mission deadline to visit Dragon Island. Call Meow Meow, Sister Feng, and the others. Hmm … Maybe they know about this now. "
Hearing his words, the other two elves looked at each other and nodded.
Along the way, they had been enjoying the adventure while completing the limited missions.
Seeing that his companions agreed, the elf warrior was even happier. He turned his head and looked at Old John again, chuckling.
"That … How should I address you, sir?"
"Merciful Lord Elf … You … You can call me Old John. Everyone calls me that …"
Old John replied in fear and trepidation.
"Well, Old John, can you take us to the mine to take a look? As a reward, I can give you a gold pound. "
The Elven Warrior chuckled as he fished out a shiny gold pound from his bosom.
