Chapter 813: Inquiring for Information, Sacred Object School
Entering this late-night tavern in Lilai City, as expected, there is a lot of hidden secrets inside.
On the surface, it looks like just an ordinary residence, but once you enter it, you will find that this place is dug very deep and has a vast underground space.
Although the decoration is rather rough, the supporting structure is mostly made of roughly polished stone and logs, and the furniture is also simple and primitive in style.
Even the lighting depended on torches on the wall.
But because the space is too spacious and there are too many people inside, it presents a different style.
The adventurers who came and went sat at wooden tables, drinking and eating meat, and playing various chess, card and gambling games.
And in the center of the entire "Late Night Bar"...
There are two extraordinary people fighting with their bare hands - the fist-to-flesh fight draws cheers from the audience.
This is indeed a paradise for releasing hormones.
Especially under the late-night curfew policy, even eating late-night snacks, which was originally legal, has become very exciting, not to mention gambling and boxing, which were originally illegal?
Although Lin Yu felt that it was a bit noisy here, Ah Yu seemed to be in his element in such an environment.
She went to the bar with ease, bought two large glasses of juice and a plate of barbecue, found a table to sit down, and then went to the betting people next to the ring to buy a bet on which boxer would win.
Looking at Ah Yu's face full of enjoyment, Lin Yu couldn't help but speak.
"The City Defense Knights are checking everywhere tonight. Isn't there something wrong here?"
After all, this "late-night bar" violated more than just the curfew.
"Don't worry," Ah Yu said nonchalantly after taking a sip of juice. "We have secret dealings with the City Defense Knights here... Even in a situation like tonight, they won't be investigated."
"Even in a special situation like tonight?"
Lin Yu frowned and asked in confusion.
"Of course, this situation is included," Ah Yu said seriously, "Those superhumans with official positions definitely don't intend to make the news public at this stage... That's why they won't inspect this place."
"There's absolutely no way any dangerous individuals colluding with demons or the dark races are hiding here. These adventurers drinking here are even more trustworthy than those church knights," Ah Yu said calmly, "because the adventurers here come from humble backgrounds. Most of them have been to the vicinity of the abyss and witnessed how the dark races treat humans once they gain power."
"They may seem unruly, but there's absolutely no chance of them rebelling—the conflict between Night Vale's lower-class humans and the dark race is nearly irreconcilable."
Lin Yu noticed that there was something else behind Ah Yu's words.
"You seem to think that there aren't irreconcilable conflicts between Night Vale's upper class and the dark races?"
"Of course. In the past year alone, about a dozen governors, governors, tax collectors, and church members have been executed in the Enzi and Marlo empires for trading with the dark races... and that's just the ones that have been discovered."
"Be it the dark races or demons...if you can provide them with dozens or even hundreds of souls, they will naturally be happy to get along with you."
As Ah Yu spoke, there was no indignation or sympathy in her tone—she seemed to be simply stating a fact.
Then, Ah Yu said, "Of course, it's possible that there are some dangerous guys hiding here... That's why we're here."
She spoke with a smile and looked around.
"What's more, the senior adventurers among these adventurers might even be more informed than those 'big shots'."
"At least their noses will be more sensitive—and maybe they can be of help to us."
A Yu drank most of the juice in the cup, then tore off a piece of grilled bone-in ribs from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth, jumping off the chair while chewing.
"Let's go, Schreiber."
Lin Yu caught up with A Yu, but still asked.
"Who are you looking for?"
"That uncle drinking over there meets the criteria I mentioned—he has a good nose and can be a helper."
As Ah Yu spoke, Lin Yu made an expression of realization.
"So you're here to gather information and find help!"
"Otherwise, this is pure entertainment," Ah Yu rolled his eyes. "Schreiber, I'm also a 'Level 3' expert and the backbone of the 'Predators'. Can you please show me a little more trust and respect?"
"Sorry, sorry, I didn't think that much."
Lin Yu clasped his hands together and said with a smile.
While the two were talking, they had already arrived in front of the uncle that A Yu pointed out - this guy looked like he fit the stereotype of a "folk master".
The messy hair and stubble, the heavy jacket and long boots, the decadent eyes, the metal wine jug in front of him, and the hunting rifle and long sword behind him, seem to be born for the title of "down-and-out master".
I always feel that he will start reminiscing about his deceased wife in the next second.
And A Yu was not polite either, he walked up and kicked his stool directly.
"boom!"
The stool was shaking and almost threw the uncle to the ground.
He turned around in surprise and looked at A Yu with a bad expression.
"Where did you come from, little girl? Are you looking for trouble?!"
"Hey, speak with some respect, old drunkard," Ah Yu said arrogantly, his hands across his chest. "As a 'holy magician', you should abstain from alcohol. If you break the rules, I'll report you to the Sacred Relics School."
The uncle was stunned, then sat up straight. "I haven't been a holy magician for many years... but how did you know that? Do you know me?"
A Yu took out the two wooden flintlock rifles, one deep and one shallow, from his arms and lit them.
"Raymond Chelt, of course I know you. I've seen the gun and sword behind you many times on blueprints. What I'm curious about is... you don't know me."
"You are from the Sacred Object School. Are you a disciple of one of my uncles? Or the successor of our master?"
"Anyway...you are my junior sister, right?"
After being called by A Yu, Raymond Chelt rubbed his face hard and asked in confusion and curiosity.
Ah Yu looked at Raymond and kicked the stool again.
"It seems that you haven't been back to the academy for a long time, idiot - I am your master Kasai's junior sister and your master's last disciple."
"In other words, you should call me Uncle Master!"
Raymond was a little confused.
"What, Uncle Master...are you kidding?"
A Yu directly took out a gear-shaped badge and threw it in his face.
Raymond then studied the badge again and again, then muttered, "It really is Junior Master-Uncle... What are you doing here?"
"I want to ask, what are you doing here?"
Ah Yu asked proudly.
"Of course I'm here to make a living," Raymond mumbled subconsciously. But after glancing at the gear in his hand and then at Ah Yu, who was looking down at him, he hesitated and changed his words. "Well, I heard from a friend... In Lilai City, a 'monarch-level' dark race is about to be resurrected here."
Ah Yu nodded when he heard this and immediately said, "Yes, that's why I came here too."
Lin Yu looked at Ah Yu with a very happy expression and couldn't help but sigh.
The acting is really bad.
But fortunately, the other party was deceived.
"I actually managed to get her to tell me something. It's really surprising."
