Chapter 1401.

Celis, the Old Harbor District.

This capital of the Kingdom of Invia housed more than a million long-time residents, and the city’s area was naturally enormous.

It was divided into seven large districts, and the Old Harbor District was precisely one of them, a place where countless commoners and underclassmen lived, similar to the Lower District of Rande City.

When night fell, Luo Nan came to the Old Harbor District alone.

Then after some inquiries, he found the Blue Whale Tavern.

At this time, the night was not yet very deep, and there were people coming and going on the long street, compared to the center of Celis, this old port that had long since disappeared seemed chaotic and noisy.

The streets and alleys are full of garbage that has not been cleaned up, and there are three or five beggars and vagabonds huddled next to them.

Any city had a side of prosperity and wealth and poverty and backwardness, and Celes was obviously no exception.

But the law and order here seemed to be pretty good, at least there were no thieves mingling among the crowd unscrupulously to steal.

When Luo Nan pushed open the door of the Blue Whale Tavern, a scent mixed with the smells of bad tobacco, alcohol, tallow, sweat, barbecue, and so on immediately hit him.

He subconsciously stimulated his spiritual energy to block out the strong odor.

But Ronan couldn’t block out the hustle and bustle inside.

The Blue Whale Tavern was quite large and packed with drinkers of all shapes and sizes, there wasn’t a spare table in sight, and even the seats in front of the bar were filled to capacity.

Many of the drinkers stood in the corners and along the aisles holding their glasses, some laughing and some whispering.

In the center of the hall there was also a performance stage where three gorgeous dancers were dancing to the accompaniment of musicians.

Their charming and sexy movements caused the drinkers to applaud from time to time, and a copper coin was thrown up like rain, even mixed with a few silver dollars.

Luo Nan squeezed through the crowd with some effort and arrived in front of the bar.

Without a seat he could only stand and greeted the busy bartender inside, “Please bring me a cup of ale.”

The bartender glanced at Luo Nan and immediately stopped his work, first receiving him a cup full of fresh ale.

“One silver dollar, please.”

So expensive?

Luo Nan was more or less surprised.

The same cup of ale would be at most 20 copper coins in the taverns of Rande City, and a dozen copper coins for the cheaper ones would be enough.

Although Sellis’ consumption was high, this Blue Whale Tavern wasn’t a high-class establishment, and he didn’t think that the drinkers here possessed the ability to spend so much.

Luo Nan was keenly aware of the strange gazes from the surroundings, most of which carried the colors of teasing and mockery.

It suddenly dawned on him – he was being slaughtered like a pig!

And the truth was that Luo Nan’s age, dress, and temperament were clearly out of place with this tavern.

He had attracted quite a bit of attention just as he entered.

The bartender was ripping off the customers, and nine times out of ten, he was treating Luo Nan as the kind of noble or merchant’s son who came out to find excitement!

He didn’t move as he pulled out a silver dollar and threw it on the counter, then took a sip from his wine cup.

The taste was okay.

It was at this time that a nearby drinker whistled and said with a smile, ”This generous and wealthy young master, can you buy Buck a drink? I haven’t had a cup of ale for a silver dollar yet!”

The drinker named Barker was stocky and fierce looking, looking at Luo Nan with a hint of malice in his eyes.

As soon as his words fell, the other drinkers around him laughed out loud, as if they had discovered something amusing.

“Can.”

Luo Nan smiled and pulled out another silver dollar, saying to the bartender, “One more cup.”

The bartender was surprised and looked at Luo Nan like he was looking at a bogeyman.

But Luo Nan had already paid, so he didn’t say anything and poured another cup of ale over.

“Haha, thank you young master!”

Barker laughed and stretched out his big furry hand to take the cup.

As a result, before his fingers even touched the cup, it was held by Luo Nan, “Let me ask you a question.”

Barker froze, then burst into a rage, “Let go!”

While bellowing, his right arm steeply exerted force, his muscles instantly bulging high, wanting to throw Luo Nan a heel.

As a result, it didn’t move at all!

Barker’s face changed.

As a veteran mercenary, although he didn’t have the strength of a Transcendent, he had reached the level of an elite-level warrior, and a sudden burst of strength was by no means something a weak nobleman’s son could resist.

However, it was now under his full strength that he was unable to shake Luo Nan in the slightest, the latter’s hand seemed to contain the force of a thousand pounds, deadening his struggles and resistance.

Barker even felt that as long as Luo Nan increased his strength a little more, his wrist bones would turn into pieces!

He took a deep breath and squeezed out a fawning smile at Luo Nan, “I’m sorry, I was a bit loud just now, may I ask what’s wrong with Your Excellency?”

The mercenary Barker was not a brainless person, he was able to survive until now, he had also mastered a few skills of judging the situation and seeing the wind, realizing that he had kicked the iron plate, he immediately lowered his posture.

Even with several companions around him, Barker chose to temporarily soften.

And the surrounding drinkers were all dumbfounded, not knowing why Buck’s face turned so fast.

Luo Nan let go of the other party’s hand and asked, “I came here to find someone, do you know someone called Old Jack?”

“Old Jack?”

Barker really knew, “Are you talking about that Old Jack who is obsessed with alchemy?”

Luo Nan laughed, “That’s right, it’s him.”

He was lucky and didn’t have to go through much trouble to inquire about it, guessing that this Old Jack should be a celebrity here.

“Old Jack must be in the Copper Anchor Casino at this time.”

Buck gulped and said, “He would only run here for a drink if he lost everything.”

“Take me to find him.”

Ronan fished out a gold pound and threw it on the counter, “This is the reward.”

The golden pound that flashed with a tantalizing light made Barker’s eyes instantly brighten, and his smile became a lot more sincere, “Alright, I’ll take you to the Copper Anchor Casino to find Old Jack right now.”

“If I don’t find it there, I’ll take you to his home again!”

Barker didn’t expect Luo Nan to come out so generously and felt like he was hit by a pie falling from the sky.

If there was another person, the mercenary might have had evil thoughts.

But Luo Nan had already proved his strength, and he became very well-behaved and understanding.

The surrounding drinkers, on the other hand, all cast envious and jealous gazes at Barker – this money was too good to be true!

Some of them even moved.

Barker hurriedly collected the golden pounds, not even drinking the ale on the counter, and took Ronan away from the Blue Whale Bar.

The Copper Anchor Casino he was talking about was not far from this bar, just a few hundred meters away, only the place was relatively a bit more remote, but it was equally lively and noisy inside.

Barker took Ronan around the casino and eventually found Old Jack at a gambling table by the corner.

And this guy who was obsessed with alchemy was currently surrounded by three or five pugnacious men.

It was a completely pitiful, weak, and helpless appearance!
