The ugly woman finished the glass of wine, and without any reluctance, she was about to leave the tavern with the food that was supposed to be her salary.
The next moment, she heard Canary behind the counter say to the swordsman with the golem, "If I were you, I wouldn't let her go just like that. Grimm is divided into two levels. Most people live on the ground because there is sunlight and water here. Every once in a while, the temple will send a batch of supplies here. However, there are also some people who choose to live on the underground level because of enemies or other reasons. The environment there is more complicated and more dangerous than on the ground. Under normal circumstances, no one on the ground is willing to go down there, and even if they go down, it is difficult to come back alive, except for one person."
The proprietress played with the ends of her hair and wrapped it around her finger, "There are so many of us here, but none of us are as familiar with the environment there as she is. Because she used to live down there."
Rob raised his eyebrows, "Do you know why I'm looking for you?"
The proprietress smiled, "I've been running this tavern for so many years. If I didn't have this little insight, I'm afraid I would have quit long ago. I knew what you wanted the moment you walked in. You're different from the other men here. You don't want me to sleep with you."
The proprietress knocked the ash into the empty glass left by the ugly woman and said lazily, "You look like you've just arrived here. You don't need a golem as a swordsman, so that golem should be your companion. But he is not here, so your purpose of looking for me is obvious. Well, if you want to find someone in a strange place, the best way is to find the owner of this tavern first. You should be thinking the same thing. Let me guess, the person you're looking for is most likely a girl, a very beautiful girl. Otherwise, you wouldn't look at me so cleanly."
"Can you find her?"
"I should be able to find her on the surface, but I'm not familiar with the underground area. You may have to rely on her there." The lady boss pointed at the ugly girl at the door and took another drag of her cigarette. "You'd better hurry up. The people in this place aren't very friendly to pretty girls."
The ugly woman stomped her feet when she heard that. She threw down the food in her hands and pounced back. Her movements were as agile as a cheetah's. She grabbed the female boss's collar and said angrily, "Karina, you're a troublemaker. I told you out of goodwill that this guy is a master, but not only did you not thank me, you even wanted to drag me down with you!"
The golden cat named Karina giggled. "You've slept with me for so long. Don't you know what kind of person I am? In order to make you stay, I'll do anything a hundred times worse. This is probably what people call … love. Women in love are sweet and vengeful at the same time."
The Lady Boss's eyes wandered, and her tone was as gentle as a flower blooming on the grassland.
The ugly girl gritted her teeth in anger. "We're not done with this."
After saying that, she ignored the female boss and turned to Rob. "I'm sorry, don't listen to her nonsense. I've been away from the underground for a long time, and I'm not familiar with it anymore. I won't go back to that damn place." As she spoke, she picked up the bag of food that she had thrown on the ground earlier and patted off the dust on it.
The Lady Boss smiled, not angry at all. "Isn't that good? Your enemy is also underground. You find someone for this handsome guy, and he'll avenge you. Both of you get what you need."
The ugly girl stopped in front of the tavern.
"Sounds fair," the future Supreme Magister Your Honor said.
However, on the other side, the ugly woman was clearly hesitating. A complicated expression flashed across her scarred face. Finally, she turned her head. "Aren't you going to ask who my enemy is, how strong he is, and how many subordinates he has?"
"I don't care," Rob said calmly.
The ugly girl was stunned when she heard that, and a strange look flashed across her eyes. "Alright, then let's get down to business first. What valuable things do you have on you? Take note, I'm talking about things that are valuable in Ao Grimm. Forget about gems and gold. No one here cares about that trash."
"Oh?"
The Lady Boss explained, "Ao Grimm is a very realistic world. Since I'm helping you find someone, I'll naturally pay you. Don't get me wrong, it's not a payment for me, but a payment for those who help you find someone. Other than that, what do you plan to do with them after you find them? Of course, you can rely on your strength to kill them, but it will take a lot of time. No one knows what will happen in the process. If your companion is really beautiful, I suggest you choose the second method. Offer a price that no one can refuse, and they will send your companion back in one piece. As for whether you plan to kill them and rob them later, it doesn't matter. This is a lawless place. "
The ugly girl then added, "The territories on the surface are almost divided, and almost every territory has a boss. Karina's reputation among them is still very useful. With her as a guarantor and the news, as long as your price is high enough, if your companion is really here, someone will send her back in two days at most. The real trouble is in the underground."
"Unlike the surface, the underground is a more chaotic and disorderly world. There is no clear division of power there, but there are indeed some very powerful people. I know a few of them, and I can ask them to help me find her. However, dealing with them also requires a certain price, and they don't accept credit guarantees. You have to pay half of the deposit first."
Rob thought for a moment, took out a small bag from his backpack, and poured it on the counter. "Will these do?"
"Magic crystals?" Karina was surprised when she saw the pile of beautiful gems on the table. "How did you bring these things in? Every batch of prisoners is checked before they are sent in. Magic crystals are the number one contraband. Even a sorcerer can only bring a magic staff for self-protection. However, these are not enough … "The female boss shook her head." Magic crystals are more attractive to sorcerers, but other people have to find a sorcerer to exchange for things they need. In this way, the value of magic crystals will be depleted. "
So, the future Supreme Magister Your Honor took out two small bottles and a ring.
The ugly girl picked up one of the small bottles. "What is this?"
"Healing Potion." Before Rob left, he bought five bottles from a nearby church, mainly to deal with unexpected situations.
Karina's eyes lit up. "This is good stuff. It can save a life at a critical moment. What about the ring?"
"Type 2 Magic Device. It can cast a Lighten Body Spell and an Invisibility Spell three times each." This thing was casually made by someone using the leftover scraps after upgrading Number 2.
"A Dual Magic Device?" The ugly girl sucked in a breath of cold air. And it was a Type 2 Magic Device that anyone could use. This kind of rare thing was worth a lot in the outside world, let alone in Orc Grimm.
