Adventurer's Heart was very lively that night. Because of the discount, more than half of The Brave Ones in town were attracted to the place. In the end, the tavern couldn't even accommodate everyone.
Fortunately, Zac had foreseen this. Merchant Fatso was very successful. He actually managed to borrow a lot of tables and chairs from the Adventurers Guild. He even temporarily rented a barn two streets away. After some simple decorations, it became a large tavern. The rest of the people were arranged to stay there. Although the environment was a little shabby, it was original. Coupled with the discount on the drinks, no one had anything to complain about.
Rob and Kenneth were shocked by the lively scene when they arrived at the entrance of the tavern. After the adventurers who came later understood the situation, they consciously went to the barn in groups of three to five. The Guard Captain and Archmage didn't have any special requirements for a place to drink, so they turned around and left with the crowd.
As a result, the two of them were spotted by a sharp-eyed waitress. The fat merchant had probably specially instructed his waitresses to inform him immediately if they saw the two of them.
So, before Kenneth and Rob could take two steps, they heard Zac's enthusiastic voice coming from behind them. "Haha, you two are rare guests here. It's been half a month since we last met. If you didn't come back, I would have had to pay you a visit. Since I've caught you today, don't even think about going anywhere."
"Yes, but aren't there no more seats in here?" Archmage poked his head in and saw a sea of people in the tavern. Many of the drinkers didn't even have a place to sit, so they could only stand and drink.
"Those who don't have seats are only on the first floor. The second floor is specially used to entertain VIPs. I guarantee there won't be as many people as there are below."
The Guard Captain shook his head. "We are not VIPs. Let's go to the barn." Kenneth was busy helping someone correct his sexual orientation. He didn't want to cause trouble, so he didn't have time to care about Fatso.
"Who said you are not VIPs? Anyone with a silver card is a VIPs of Adventurer's Heart," Zac said with a smile.
"Oh, you're talking about that." Rob took out two small cards from his pocket. This thing was given to them by the Fatso businessman when they first came to the bar for a drink. It turned out that not only could they get a discount, but they could also provide VIP status. "In that case, Brother Kenneth, let's drink here."
As a matter of fact, the young man didn't really care where he went to drink. It was just that the barn was two more blocks away and with Rob's current listless state, he didn't want to walk any further.
"Alright then." Kenneth was a little helpless, but he didn't insist any further.
The two followed Zac to the second floor. Sure enough, as Fatso had said, there were fewer people on the second floor than on the first floor. There were a few mercenaries here, but all of them were Tier 2. There were also a few merchants and upper echelons of various large Guilds. There were also some people like the Guard Captain who held public office.
When these people saw Kenneth, their expressions were very interesting. In their eyes, this colleague of theirs had always been old-fashioned and serious. He went to work on time every day and handed over all his earnings to his wife. He didn't have any entertainment activities, and he had always been isolated from nightlife. It was rare to see him in a bar today. From a certain perspective, this proved that the boss of Adventurer's Heart had a lot of influence.
The Guard Captain was also frustrated. He didn't know if Zac was doing this on purpose or not. If he had known that there were so many familiar faces here, he would've gone to the barn. However, now that Zac had come up, it would be strange if he went back down. At this point, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and sit down.
The two found a relatively quiet booth in the corner. Not long after they sat down, Kenneth used the excuse of going to the toilet and hurriedly left. When he was out of sight, the Guard Captain pulled a waitress over and asked, "What's the highest alcohol content you have here?"
"Huh?" The waitress was shocked. Fortunately, she had good professionalism and subconsciously blurted out, "The highest alcohol content? It's the Dwarves' Red Branding Iron. "
Just like its name, drinking it felt like swallowing a piece of branding iron, and it burned from head to toe. It was very strong.
"However, this kind of alcohol is usually drunk in winter," the waitress added. "The Red Branding Iron is very effective in keeping out the cold. Once you drink a glass, you won't feel cold even if you stand naked in the snow for a quarter of an hour. The dwarven craftsmen usually take a sip when they are forging weapons."
"Okay, okay, okay. We'll order this wine. Give me three bottles first, and a glass of lemonade, please." Kenneth was overjoyed. However, the Guard Captain seemed to have thought of something after taking a few steps. He scratched his head and said, "By the way, how much is a bottle of this wine?"
"The Red Branding Iron is a very good wine to brew. It can be found everywhere in the Dwarven Kingdom. It's just that you need to spend some money to bring it back. The original price of this wine is six copper coins per bottle, but now it's three copper coins for the event. Three bottles cost nine copper coins. Also, the lemonade is free." The waitress was very polite. Those who could come to the second floor were all VIPs. Obviously, the way they treated VIPs was completely different from how they treated the mercenaries downstairs.
The Guard Captain counted the money in his pocket and breathed a sigh of relief. He could still afford it. After thanking the waitress, he hurried back to the booth.
During the time he had just left, another waitress had come over with the wine list. The Great Magician was sitting there choosing the wine. Although Luo Bu was holding the wine list in his hand, his pupils were clearly unfocused. His eyes were wandering, and it was unknown what he was thinking. The youth's state continued for a long time, and the waitress standing next to him didn't know whether to leave or stay. Her pretty face was full of awkwardness.
The Guard Captain's heart skipped a beat. It's over. It seems that this kid is seriously ill. For a friend of the same sex, he completely ignored the beauty standing next to him. It seems that his thoughts have flown to the Pacific Ocean. Even a ghost would not believe that the two of them did not have that kind of relationship.
Well, it seems that my task tonight is also quite difficult.
Kenneth was worried, and he was ready for a long battle. He waved at the waitress and said, "We've already ordered the wine. There's nothing else here. You can go elsewhere."
The waitress was suddenly relieved. Fearing that the Guard Captain would change his mind again, she bowed and ran away like a rabbit. It was not until a long time after she left that Rob said "oh" and put down the wine list in his hand. "Hey, Brother Kenneth, when did you come back?" “
