Chapter 239 Salt and Fire Tavern

In an instant, more than an hour later.

Richard and Gro left the White Rock High School and appeared in a tavern in White Rock.

This pub called "Salt and Fire" is a very common kind in the whole White Rock City-the area is not too small, the food is not bad, the service is not good, everything is mid-stream.The main reason why Richard and Gro chose it is that it is not far from Baishi High Tower College and does not need to go a lot.After all, the two were just going to take a simple break and have a lunch.

Because of the daytime, there are not many people in the lobby of the tavern, and the attendance rate is only about 30%.Most people are sitting scattered and eating coldly.In the corner, a person sitting in a circle around a long table is talking and drinking loudly, which is the only lively scene.

There is a high platform in the middle of the hall.Sitting on the high platform was a woman in her thirties, dressed in emerald-colored clothes, with a fair face.At this time, the other party plucked a harp, and at the same time sang something in his mouth, with a gentle rhythm, it sounded relaxing, but it was only so.

Compared with the professional entertainers in the pub, women play and sing a little old-fashioned, and because of inexperience, they are often misadjusted.Fortunately, most of the taverns do not understand how to appreciate, and no one coaxes.

In the corner, Richard and Gro were sitting at a square table. Richard listened to the sound of women playing on the high platform while thinking about things.

I have to say that through talking with Bucky, I still get a lot of information and need to digest it.

The first is the identity of the girl Ruth. According to Bucky, the other party is the kind of real princess, and she has never been angry or tired since childhood, so before she cleaned the room by herself, she would behave like that. bad.

The country where the opponent is located is a wizarding country, so the reason why the opponent came to the Whitestone High Tower Academy is not to want to become a wizard, but to want to learn more about the wizarding world.

The extent of the other party's money is also exaggerated. They can lend money to others to the extent that they can't afford it and use their bodies as collateral. I'm afraid that the net worth will get hundreds of thousands of gold coins or hundreds of high-grade crystal coins.In contrast, a prince like Gro is simply parallel-after all, in the Emerald City, Gro emptied all his savings to less than 10,000 gold coins.

Then there is Ruth's country.

According to Bucky, the reason why Ruth is so rich is because her country is a legacy of an empire, which should be true.

According to the knowledge I read in the library in the past few days, on the east coast, there have indeed been several wizarding empires integrating wizards, kingships, and churches, and have carried out long-term black terror rule.

A series of accidents happened later, which led to the splitting of several empires, and it turned into a small country on the east coast lined with wizard organizations.

Because of this, relatively powerful wizard organizations such as the White Rock Tower are highly vigilant about the kingdoms that have the potential to develop into new empires, lest the once black rule will come again.Macbeth's assassination of the king in Egypt is an obvious example.

I just don’t know that Ruth’s country, specifically the remnants of that empire, according to the record, the oldest one seems to be called the “Balantnon Empire”, and the most recent one is called the “Black Spirit Empire”.

In addition, in the library earlier today, the circumstance that the quaint ring is hot should also be taken seriously.

The unusual shape of the quaint ring is most likely related to the secret of the Baishi Tower, which Mullen said, but what is the secret of the Baishi Tower?

Richard thought about it, after the guy in the pub had entertained the guests at the previous table, he walked over and handed the two menus to Richard and Gro respectively.

Richard withdrew his thoughts and looked at the menu.

Gro next to him made an order and said, "Bring me a white bread, a broth, a fried mushroom, a lettuce, a good cow... um, this is a bit expensive, forget it, just The first few."

"Yes." The guy nodded, slightly despised, and then turned to look at Richard.

Richard made a sound, but it was simpler than Gro: "A white bread, a small dish of jam, and a mushroom soup."

The guy's eyes could not help but become more contemptuous, thinking that two poor ghosts might have been encountered.

Richard ignored it, handed the menu back, and put a silver coin: "Tip."

The man's eyes lighted up instantly and changed from being despised to being respectful.Anyway, the tipper is the uncle.As long as the tip is high, drinking a glass of water can serve meticulously.

Richard, of course, didn't just give a tip, asking: "The bread should be fresh, don't stay overnight, the jam should not be adulterated with me, and the mushroom soup should not be served until it is cold. Understand?"

"Understood!" The man nodded vigorously, and took the menu and tip to leave quickly.

Not long after, the food that Richard and Gro asked for was delivered, and Richard began to eat, while continuing to think about what he had thought before.

Gro is speaking.

"Your Excellency Richard." Gro looked at Richard and asked, "What do you think of the "Introduction to Apprentice Popularization" by the wizard Epry?"

Richard looked up, saw Gro, and asked, "What do you think?"

"Am I..." Gro said, "I think I should take elective study. After all, I haven't even completed the three life remodeling, but I can't understand it after reading the book. If someone guides, it may be faster. And The course will begin next week, and it’s too late to sign up now."

"In this case, there is nothing more to say, learn." Richard said, "You have not made up your mind yet."

"Well...but money..." Groller hesitated.

"What happened to the money?" Li Cha asked. "Is the cost of the elective courses not enough?"

"No, no." Gro shook his head. "I mean, the money I borrowed from you may not be paid for the time being."

"When I helped you get to the giant ship in Cuijin City, which high-grade crystal coin did I pay?" Li Cha asked.

"Well, yes." Gro nodded. "Now you and I know that a high-grade crystal coin is almost a thousand gold coins, and now I have only a total of nearly a thousand gold coins. If I want to take some courses with high fees, I don’t give you this money for the time being, I can only find a way, so..."

"It's okay." Li Cha said lightly, and really didn't care about this kind of thing, "Just treat it as my early investment to help you become a wizard. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can also ask I borrowed money, and as long as the amount is not small, I can lend it to you. Wait until you become a real wizard, then return it to me."

"Become a real wizard?" Gro's eyes flickered, slightly confused. "It feels so far away. I'm not sure if I can be promoted to a second-level apprentice within three years."

"Then you will work hard."

"Well, okay." Gro said, and began to continue eating.At the same time, I made up my mind to study hard.Otherwise, I am sorry that he abandoned his princehood to come here to endure hardship, and I am sorry that His Excellency Li Cha has always helped him.

Then he heard a strange noise behind him, followed by...

"puff!"

Gro felt a strong rush, and before he could react, Richard was pressed into the broth bowl in front of him by his hand.
