I've seen stupid people and stupid pets, but this is the first time I've seen such a stupid one.
One of the students opened the lid and gave each of them a large cup. Piqiu was lucky enough to get one as well. He jumped right in and was having a blast drinking while taking a shower.
It is very difficult to stop drinking once you start drinking. Caesar was enjoying the rare comfort, but unfortunately there were not many people here who could drink well. These young and inexperienced students had no foundation and they pretended to be heroic and finished a glass of wine. After a while they felt dizzy. After getting used to this feeling, they started to make comments one by one, which made Caesar helpless. Making a fuss in such a place was just asking for trouble.
However, they were lucky this time, as the surrounding mercenary adventurers did not come up to cause trouble. Perhaps they could see that these were all young people, and most of them recalled their past selves, who were also impulsive and passionate.
"It's great to be young. When I was this age, I still dreamed of becoming a dragon slayer, haha."
"Come on, you'd be scared to death by the sight of a dragon hair."
"Haha, well said. Cheers to Longmao."
The adventurers around raised their glasses one after another, and the students were also infected by the lively atmosphere. To be honest, they envied the free and easy life of adventurers, traveling everywhere and having adventures, which was simply a god-like life.
"Brothers, we are freshmen of Reef Academy. Can you tell us about your adventures? We also want to become adventurers in the future."
"Haha, kid, you're a magician, you have great ambitions."
"Come on, don't listen to him. It's better to join a mercenary group. It's convenient for training, safe, and financially secure. Didn't you see how skinny this guy is? It's the result of living in the open air."
"Fuck, you always expose my shortcomings. Come on, have a drink."
Caesar was somewhat infected by the hearty laughter of these people, and recalled his adventurous life in the past. Although he was capable at that time, he was still a child. He suffered a lot of losses and received help from many adventurers. Most adventurers were very loyal because they often hovered on the brink of life and death and had a more thorough understanding of human nature.
"Let's drink to being alive."
Caesar raised his glass leisurely, the light in his eyes that only a true adventurer could understand.
The tavern suddenly became quiet. The students of Reef Academy were confused and didn't know what was going on. Only adventurers understood the meaning of these words: to stay alive!
These adventurers may not be top masters, but they have their own lives and experiences. They actually felt a sense of their own kind in this young man. That is the calmness that only people who have experienced life and death can have.
"Okay, this is the most meaningful thing I've heard today. We should have three drinks!"
The tavern became lively again. Adventurers and mercenaries responded with a roar. Everyone drank cup after cup. What they drank was not wine, but life.
"Okay, I'm happy to hear that. All the drinks today are free!"
"Haha, Boss, you are such a miser, but you can actually treat us. This is really rare. If you don't drink till you're broke, you'll be doing a disservice to Poseidon."
"That's right. There will be no such store after this village. Come on, kid, drink more. Although the wine of this old man is expensive, it is very good."
A fat old man walked towards Caesar, and Caesar looked at him... Suddenly Caesar had an urge to escape. It was true that life is full of encounters, and he actually met his first creditor here.
The boss was stunned for a moment and obviously recognized Caesar. A cunning smile appeared on his face. "It turned out to be little Caesar. Tsk tsk, no wonder I always felt that something good would happen today. I finally caught you, little bastard. Don't run away!"
Then a hilarious chase took place in the tavern. The boss was in such poor shape that he was out of breath after chasing for a few rounds. He pointed at Caesar and could not even speak clearly.
"Boss, what's the matter? Don't embarrass this little brother."
"Fuck, get out of here! This guy stole my treasured XO and drank it. I'm going to fight him to the death!"
Everyone burst into laughter and said it was retribution, because the boss always hid the good wine.
"Ahem, boss, don't be angry. It was not a good idea at the beginning."
"Pay back the money, 500 gold coins, not a penny less. If you don't have money, you can pay in installments. Judging from your appearance, you should be a student of Reef Academy. From now on, you will come here to work every day to pay off the debt. If you can't pay it off, find a job after graduation and continue to pay it back!"
I vomited blood. Another creditor. Time is not enough now. If there is one more creditor, I won't be able to sleep.
"Well, I don't have any cash, wait." Caesar kept flipping through the folders. He remembered that there were still a few magic crystals left. He had used all the rewards he earned from his previous adventures to help the poor, but now he has become a poor man. What a changing world.
Ding Dong, Ding Dong, several magic crystals jumped a few times on the table, emitting a soft light.
The noisy tavern became quiet again. Everyone stared blankly at the magic crystals on the table. Several drunk students also sobered up. Magicians are particularly sensitive to magic crystals. Poseidon, these are all Siren magic crystals of level six or above!
Among them, there is a ninth-level one that is as big as a child's fist. This one can be sold for more than a thousand gold coins.
The boss quickly covered it with his clothes and said, "What are you looking at? Ahem, this is pretty good. Our accounts are settled."
"Damn, boss, you are too ruthless. You are bullying me because I don't understand the market. These magic crystals can be sold for at least 3,000 gold coins. Hurry up and give me the 2,500."
"Old Grandet, hurry up, we have accepted the wine from our little brother today, so we must do justice."
"Hey, you heartless people, I'm the one who bought the wine... I don't have money, can you pay with wine?"
Looking at the boss's pitiful eyes, Caesar found it a little funny. He didn't care much about money, and the boss had taken a lot of care of him in the past. Apart from liking money, he was essentially a kind person, just like he didn't report to the police when his wine was stolen.
"Okay, boss, bring out the good wine, I'll treat everyone."
"Haha, thanks a lot, little brother. Axe, go with the boss and don't let him fool us."
"Fuck, you bastards actually doubted my character. Go ask around in a deserted place. Everyone knows that I, Grandet, am the most generous boss."
A drunk Reef student asked in confusion: "Who can I ask when there is no one around?"
"Ghost!"
"Tsk~~~~"
Although he felt pain in his heart, when he looked at the magic crystal in his arms, Grandet felt warm.
"Boss, why did you move here to open a shop?" After so many years, Caesar still couldn't get used to the address.
"Why? Only you are allowed to make progress, so I can't open a chain store?"
"Haha, little brother, you don't know that old man Grandet has become very rich in recent years. Let me tell you, this guy is extremely rich. If you can't make ends meet in the future, just come and rob him."
"By the way, little brother, what's your name? Are you an adventurer too?" The one who spoke was the most burly of the adventurers. He should be a distant relative of the giant whale royal family. You could tell from his size and the faint power of the giant whale.
The Giant Whale Clan is one of the six royal families. After becoming a royal family, it separated from the Fei Shi Clan and became a separate line. The Giant Whale Clan is a group of super terrifying warriors, and the power of the giant whale is even more invincible among the sea clan. This big guy in front of him has some feeling on him, but he should not be a pure clan.
"Caesar, traveled for a while."
"Oh, I'm afraid it's not that simple."
"Juli is right, little brother. You have the air of a veteran. My feeling is very accurate."
Caesar smiled faintly and did not deny that the adventurer was the same kind of person as him and his aura was unique.
Everyone was chatting happily when the door of the tavern was kicked open and a few people in fancy clothes, led by a group of followers, rushed in.
"Hey, your boss here, come out, and everyone else get out, I'm taking over this place tonight!"
The person who was speaking was a handsome young mermaid. Judging from his clothes, he should be a powerful mermaid nobleman.
"Didn't you hear clearly? His Highness Colonel said that you all should leave. He has booked the place for tonight, and he will pay for your drinks!"
Such words are naturally shouted by lackeys.
What kind of people are in the tavern? Adventurers and mercenaries. They are not afraid of death. However, the sea people also have their own rules. If they were just ordinary hooligans, it would be fine, but the other party is a noble, and not an ordinary noble. The Colorio family is in charge of the city defense army of the mermaid royal family. They are considered to be the most powerful faction of the mermaid royal family. Obviously, the mercenaries have dealt with this family many times. The people should not fight against the officials. Although the other party was arrogant, they still endured it.
"Brother Caesar, let's go and continue drinking somewhere else. Let's go, everyone, it's my treat."
Don't be fooled by Juli's big size and seemingly simple mind, but he is actually very insightful. As an adventurer, he has seen a lot and knows very well what to do and what not to do. If he had always lived by his feelings, he would have been buried by now.
