"Have you heard it? Everyone in the town west of Stantosom is dead! The mage who investigates said it may be the remaining cultists and bandits..."

"I heard that even the Lord Master died and lost his head with his son."

"Didn't it mean that those cultists have been wiped out?"

"You, don't you know, those noble men from Lordaeron..."

"Speak no matter how you talk! What do you say about this?"

A red-haired and well-shaped tavern waitress rushed over and put the beer in her hands on the table, interrupting the drunkards' attempt to point fingers at national affairs.

The splash of beer splashed all over the faces of these people, but they could only smile and watch the tavern woman entertained and wipe her face with the rag she patted on the table.

"Sorry, Jennifer, but you can't waste wine either!"

One of the drunkards looked at the wine that was only half left and spoke a little bit.

"Ha, let's just treat this cup as if I'm asking you to shut up!"

Jennifer glared at him without any concern.

"Anyway, you'd better be clear about what you should say and what you shouldn't say! Or get out of here!"

She was obviously a sixteen-year-old girl, but the red-haired Jennifer had been working in this tavern for nearly twelve years. She knew she could not be polite to these drunkards. When it was to be fierce, she should be fierce.

"I know, I know."

The drinkers who get cheap will naturally not be rude to the girls they see since childhood, and what Jennifer said is right. In this sensitive period, it is better not to talk about these things more.

Moreover, their town is a place where several nearby towns carry out gatherings and trades, and is also a supply station on the trade route of Stantam and Lordaeron. A large number of merchants and soldiers will rest here, so they are really the ones who should not be heard, and they are also unlucky.

Their lords will not plead with other lords for their slaughter.

"You'd better know!"

Jennifer snorted coldly, after all the drunkards took away the beer, he picked up the tray in disgust, and poured the wine at the door in the miserable eyes of other drunkards.

But at this moment, a haggard figure just walked in and was splashed by the broken wine. The haggard figure became more and more embarrassed.

There was a burst of laughter in the tavern, and Jennifer rarely made mistakes.

"Haha! Jennifer! You're in trouble!"

The strong drinkers immediately stopped talking and looked at them with a smile at Jennifer who had grown up. Jennifer's white cheeks turned red in an instant. She immediately took off a clean towel from her waist and faced the guest who had been splashed by her.

If you are an acquaintance, it would be fine if you apologize and have some wine, but the person in front of you is a new face.

"I'm sorry, sir! I'm so reckless!"

Jennifer wanted to wipe the guest's body, but the other party grabbed his wrist, and a sound that could be clearly haggard and weak appeared in her ears.

"It's okay, just give me a towel, and prepare me some food and water."

Li Ke looked at this plump girl with a beautiful face, but there was not much trouble in her heart. Although this girl was very beautiful, it was a pity that she was not as charming as the broth that was being cooked in the other party’s shop.

He walked all day, walking all day without a moment of rest. He kept moving away from that town, the demon, and now he finally arrived in a town. He just wanted to eat something and then take a break soon.

His pale and weak face scared Jennifer. She glanced at Li Ke with some fear, because Li Ke's current condition is really scary.

Dried lips and bloodshot eyes, everything shows that the person is in an extremely depressed state.

"Okay, OK! Sir! I'll go now!"

She immediately turned around to prepare, and the drinkers who watched her grow up, when they saw that Li Ke was not going to find fault, they laughed and continued to joke.

"Haha! Jennifer, you have to give me some discounts!"

"Good! Boy! Men should be broad-minded! I'll give you a cup! Ah, Jennifer! Can this cup be considered free for me?"

Jennifer's face turned redder, and she quickly turned into a bowl of thick broth from the big pot on the side, took a piece of bread, and scolded her while picking up the water.

"You dream!"

She quickly brought the thing to Li Ke, and Li Ke also sat on her seat with some tremblingness. Without saying a word, she picked up the water and took a sip.

The sweet water moistened his throat, making him feel the feeling of living again. The delicious stew and the roasted hot bread also made him forget the rice and steamed buns from his hometown, and started eating without saying a word.

The sweetness, meaty taste, delicious fat taste, and the feeling of gradually being enriched in the body made Li Ke's eyes gradually blur.

Until now, he was able to determine one thing.

I really survived.

He ate the food in front of him mechanically and embarrassedly. His rapid appearance obviously scared the hotel waitress on the side. The red-haired girl looked at him who was eating voraciously, subconsciously hugged the tray on her chest, and looked at the pretty boy with black hair in front of her with some fear.

"I was shocked just now... I look pretty good now."

This idea appeared in her mind, but she was immediately called aside by the drinker's greeting, continuing her work without looking at Li Ke again.

Li Ke quickly finished the meal. He licked the juice remaining on the corner of his mouth, sighed with satisfaction, and then touched his pocket and prepared to pay the bill.

However, his hand did not touch the wages he earned in the blacksmith shop. He frowned and immediately thought that when he was arrested, the money he had on him was taken away.

After hesitating for a moment, his hand reached into the pocket he was carrying.

But the next moment, his hand was taken back as if it was electric shock, making him look at the pocket in front of him with a pale face.

Because he touched a string of necklaces, a string of necklaces belonging to the bakery owner.

He felt his hand was burned, but the fact was that there was no scar on his hand, which was completely his psychological effect.

“…”

Li Ke sighed deeply and did not touch the package again. Instead, as Jennifer held the waitress's arm and spoke in the other party's confusing gaze as he was passing by with a plate.

"How much?"
