Walking in the vast mountains and ridges covered with snow, the towering green pines and cypresses stand in complex places in every place of sight, as if they are natural mazes, it is easy to make people lose their direction; step on the thick snowy forest with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and every step you take affects the strength of your whole body, and over time, the strong sourness and fatigue quietly surges on your body.

Fortunately, Xialan and Pandillia have a hunter guide Alchem ​​who is familiar with this deep mountain forest. Under the guidance of the other party's familiarity, they undoubtedly saved a lot of physical strength and time. Village chief Morfri did not lie. If there was no guide, it would be difficult for them to leave this complex and mysterious forest.

When we left Xuelin and arrived at the nearest town of Querofi, we were about the same time as expected. The afterglow of the sunset stained the entire sky, and the crimson color dotted the outline of the town that appeared on the horizon. After a simple inspection by the city guards, Xia Lan and her group were easily passed by.

The town is not big, but business adventurers can be seen everywhere. After all, this is the nearest town next to Querofi. Most people who don’t have time to rush to Querofi will choose to rest here for a short time, so the hotels in the town are often full, and some people will pay the townsmen to seek a night of stay when they have no place to stay.

When Xia Lan and others were looking for hotels around the town, they were basically told that the rooms were full, but this situation did not cause any trouble for them, because Xia Lan directly used more than several times of money to smash three spare rooms from others.

Alchem ​​remained taciturn when he followed Xia Lan and Pandillia. He was like a dull stone. Occasionally, when Pandillia talked to him, he simply nodded and shook his head. As a result, Pandillia lost the interest in communicating with him.

After the hotel room was settled, Xia Lan asked Alche to pay attention to protecting Pandelia's safety and left the hotel alone. He knew Alche's strength, and the strength of the other party's ** was already at the level of a median top warrior, not to mention the agility he had developed as a hunter.

As for trust, he believes in his own vision of people.

Taverns have always been a place where you can enjoy the happiness of a woman with good wine. You can also vent the depression accumulated in your daily life. The unscrupulous noisy atmosphere will change the mental state of the people.

When Xia Lan arrived at the tavern, she ordered an expensive Aishalan whiskey at the bar, drank a sip of the strong brown-yellow and red wine in the glass, and sucked her lips. Xia Lan shook her head slightly because the wine was a fake wine.

Only those who have drunk real wine will know the authenticity of the wine. The difference between the two also requires a keen sense of taste to distinguish.

However, Xia Lan's purpose in coming to the tavern was not to make trouble by drinking.

Take out a gold coin from his arms, pressed his finger on the edge of the gold coin and rolled it on the tabletop of the bar. This action immediately attracted the eager eyes of many wandering prostitutes and rascals in the tavern. Unfortunately, before they could make any move, Xia Lan had already popped the gold coin on the table out of the beautiful arc and landed accurately in the bartender's top pocket of the wine glass.

"Sir, is there any place that can help you?"

The bartender is a very tactful and wise man. He stopped his work and came to Xia Lan and said with a business-style smile through the bar.

"Who is the intelligence dealer here?" Xia Lan said softly without stumbled around the bush.

"Is intelligence dealer? I wonder what kind of information do you want to know sir?" said the bartender.

"All the secret information against Querofi and Viscount Morroen." Xia Lan said with her fingers and tapped the bar tabletop.

The bartender shook his eyebrows, as if he was a little surprised. After a moment, his expression returned to normal. After looking at the drinkers who were immersed in the noisy atmosphere around him, he probably felt that no one noticed the content of the conversation between them. The bartender nodded slightly and said, "I do know that there is an intelligence dealer who knows this, but the reward this intelligence dealer requested is very strange."

Xia Lan nodded, took out a gold coin from her arms and threw it at the bartender, "Who is he?"

The bartender kept silent and putting the gold coins in his arms, saying, "Her name is Castily."

"Woman?!" Xia Lan was slightly stunned, and her fingers that hit the table stopped.

"Yes, a very mysterious lady." The bartender smiled faintly.

Xia Lan seemed to be thinking about something and said, "I have been staying in Querofi for a while, but why do I have no impression of the name of the woman Castily?"

"That's because Ms. Castily has only appeared in Querofe in recent years. It is normal for you to not know her name. Moreover, Ms. Castily is also very strange when receiving the information commission for guests. If it weren't for the special interesting information commission, she wouldn't have received it at all." The bartender said.

Xia Lan threw out another gold coin to the bartender and said, "Can you tell me about her in detail?"

"I'm happy to serve you." The bartender nodded and said, "No one knows the identity of Ms. Castily, but one day she appeared at the Nightingale Tavern. No one had seen her appearance clearly, because every time she appeared in front of someone, she covered her face with a black veil. However, some customers judged that her age should be around thirty years old based on Ms. Castily's voice. She should be a mature lady."

The bartender paused, and his eyes habitually observed the movements of the drinkers around him before continuing: "No one knows the source of Ms. Castily's intelligence, but everyone who asked her to inquire about the information revealed an amazing fact that Ms. Castily's intelligence has never been false or false. However, what is even more interesting is that everyone remained silent about the compensation requested by Ms. Castily."

"That's why she said the reward she asked for was very strange?" Xia Lan said.

"Yes, because I have heard of a rumor that Ms. Castily once offered a reward for a certain customer to let the customer taste human feces, because Ms. Castily wanted to know from the customer's mouth what human feces tasted." The bartender smiled strangely.

"Very disgusting conditions." Xia Lan said indifferently.

"Because of this, many people subconsciously eliminate Ms. Castily when inquiring about information, and even feel a little evasive. However, once a very secretive and important intelligence issue is involved, they will always ask Ms. Castily's door." said the bartender. "For example, the information you want to know."

"When will she usually appear in the Nightingale Tavern?" Xia Lan said with a sip of Aisha Lan whiskey on the bar.

"Dunor." The bartender said concisely.

"dusk?"

"Yes, Ms. Castily will not appear in the Nightingale Tavern again as long as it is beyond dusk." The bartender shrugged: "So everyone in the intelligence circles near Querofi likes to call her a bad-hearted woman at dusk."

"It is usually the time when the pub is just starting to be lively at dusk." Xia Lan seemed to point out.

"This gentleman is right. I heard that Ms. Castily doesn't like the environment at night in the tavern, for example, at this time." The bartender casually glanced at the noisy environment in the tavern.

After drinking the Aisha Lan whiskey in the cup, Xia Lan nodded in her ears, "I don't like this environment either."

"I just have different personal interests and hobbies. Sir, do you need another glass?" The bartender looked at the empty cup on the bar and asked in a habitual manner.

"No need, because I don't like fake fake wine."

Leaving this sentence, Xia Lan turned around and left the bar and slowly disappeared into the direction of the tavern gate. The bartender looked at the man's back as he was leaving and smiled calmly, as if he didn't care about the mockery in the other party's words. He put away the empty wine glass at the bar and cleaned it in the sink for a while. After the bartender used a clean white cloth to start wiping the wine glass.

When Xia Lan returned to the hotel, Al Xie was still guarding Pandilia's room door like a loyal stone statue. After waved his hand to signal that he could go back to the room to rest, Xia Lan pushed open the other party's door without knocking and walked in.

At this time, Pandilia was wearing a white pajamas, with her wet golden hair casually resting on her shoulders, and a faint fragrance could be faintly smelled in the air. She was lying on the soft sofa, holding a gray-covered book between her hands and reading it with concentration, not caring about how attractive her naked slender white legs were.

"Are you back?"

She didn't even look at the person who was pushing the door in the room and knew who the other party was. Except for Xia Lan, everyone else would not be so rude.

"We will arrive in Querofe tomorrow. What are your plans then?"

Xia Lan sat opposite her and asked directly.

Pandillia put down the books in her hand and stretched her arms lazily. The soft and wonderful arc immediately showed off. After yawning with her little mouth, she said, "After arriving at Querofe, I will find a channel to inform Viscount Morroen of my news and location."

"Is this the only option?" Xia Lan said.

"What other choice do you think I have?" Pandillia said with a slightly bitter expression.

Xia Lan was silent for a while and said, "Before this, I need you to hide for a while."

"Reason?" Pandillia asked.

"Inquiry into some things and avoid some unexpected accidents." Xia Lan said.

"Where is Winnie?" Pandillia asked.

"She? I will make arrangements at that time." Xia Lan said lightly.

"She is a good girl." Pandillia suddenly said inexplicably.

"What did you say?" Xia Lan frowned slightly.

"I just want to say, please take care of her life. I have an unknown premonition. It seems that something will happen to Querofi..." Pandillia said with her head down.

“I have the same feeling.”
