Chapter 168: First Visit to Kurast Harbor

After walking out of the teleportation array, Lan Wu immediately felt that the air around him became humid, mixed with a faint smell of the sea. Kurast Harbor, a prosperous port located on the other side of the Twin Seas.

He walked out of the teleportation array with Olvera, Gross and his two men, the Paladin Rafd and the Barbarian Glasgow. The climate of Kurast Harbor is completely different from that of Lugoin. Glasgow can't adapt to this tropical marine climate at all.

"I hate this place." Glasgow complained softly. It's a pity that he underestimated his voice, which immediately attracted a round of angry glares from the residents of the nearby Kurast Harbor.

Gross was still so arrogant. As a Lugoin, he didn't like the residents of Kurast Harbor very much, so naturally he wouldn't correct Glasgow. He smiled modestly and said goodbye to Lan Wu: "I will stay here to train. If you need my help, you can find me in the largest hotel. I will book a few rooms there."

"Of course, you are my friend. I will certainly ask you for help if I need it. Goodbye." Lan Wu gave a warm hug. This time, it was all thanks to Gross's contribution to using Lugoin's teleportation array to reach Kurast Harbor. Otherwise, even if he was a hero of Lugoin, he might not have received such a great treatment. He was able to avoid drifting in the dangerous Twin Seas, and his gratitude to Gross was sincere, not polite.

Gross was very happy to be called a friend by Lan Wu. After the two parties left their contact addresses, they left the teleportation array separately.

When he first arrived in this coastal city, Lan Wu seemed very excited. He rarely traveled before he crossed over. He had always longed for the seafood in the coastal city. Now that he came to Kurast Harbor, the first thing he thought of was not to find the mysterious pharmacist Eko, but to find a tavern to eat a delicious seafood meal.

Kurast Harbor is indeed a coastal city. Along the way, you can see carts loaded with seafood passing through the streets and alleys. This is one of the means of livelihood for most civilians. Residents only need to stick their heads out and say hello when the cart passes by their homes to buy the freshest seafood.

Lan Wu took Olvera to walk on the largest street, feeling very happy. The Kurast Harbor here is completely different from the Kurast Harbor in the game. The sky of that Kurast Harbor is full of dark clouds, and occasionally a few whispers fall, which looks gloomy and terrifying, not much different from a ghost town.

But here is full of vitality. The blue sky and white clouds, the humid sea breeze blowing from the Twin Sea, blowing on people's faces is particularly refreshing, and there is a little bit of saltiness. Coupled with the busy and fulfilling life of the hardworking Kurast people, people don't feel that the outside of this port city is the territory of terrible demons. This is a real seaside resort city.

After walking for a while, Lan Wu saw the conspicuous sign of the tavern hanging on the door pillar. He immediately walked up and pushed the door and walked in.

This tavern is obviously not a high-end tavern, but a gathering place for sailors and idlers. As soon as he entered the door, he felt a pungent fishy smell coming towards him.

This is the smell.

Lan Wu was excited. He has never eaten fish since he traveled through time. The Rogue Camp is basically supplemented by livestock meat and mainly dry biscuits. And the food in Lugaoin has basically nothing to do with fish. Although Lugaoin also stands on the Twin Sea, no one makes a living by fishing, and it is basically barbecue.

The tavern was not full. The sailors who were originally holding glasses and toasting saw a professional walk in, and the noisy tavern immediately quieted down. Everyone cast their astonished eyes on this professional.

This is not a high-end tavern, there are no women, and even the wine is the most vulgar beer.

With a creak, the door was pushed open again. Ovila walked in. He was obviously not impressed by the pungent fishy smell here, frowned, and walked to Lan Wu's side.

"Let's go, there's a seat there." Lan Wu saw an empty table and immediately called Olvera over.

As soon as they sat down, a waiter dressed neatly came up carefully and wiped the table and wooden chairs again and again. These two are distinguished professionals, and they can't be provoked.

"The best seafood, all served." Lan Wu took out a bag of gold coins and threw it on the table. He smiled and swept the silent and vigilant sailors, and said with a smile: "Give everyone a glass of the best wine, I treat you."

The heavy bag fell on the wooden table that was polished but still had oil stains. The eyes of the sailors in the tavern suddenly fell with the bag. Just listening to this sound, this bag of gold coins is not small.

The tavern owner was very happy. He personally directed the waiter to bring out the best wine, and then went to the kitchen to urge the chef to prepare the best seafood. It's rare that a professional is willing to patronize this small shop. How could he miss this opportunity?

Cups of clear beer with tempting aroma were delivered to every sailor. Suddenly, the tavern was noisy again. The sailors stood up, raised their glasses and greeted Lan Wu, the big moneybag. I don’t know how many times I have to go to sea to buy such good wine.

“May the gods be with you.” Lan Wu smiled and raised his glass to signal the sailors. He is now very skilled in pretending to be a charlatan.

“May the gods be with you.”

The sailors really didn’t have much knowledge. When they saw that this young professional who looked like an ordinary professional was amiable, they immediately regarded Lan Wu as the most honorable person.

"Relax." Lan Wu saw that Olvera was silent, as if others owed him a lot of money, and laughed softly: "Compared with these civilians, we are just a little ant that broke into the forest. They are more suitable for finding clues about a person. Come on, smile, make friends with them, maybe you can get news about Eco from them."

Ovila's eyes lit up, and he tried hard to squeeze out a smile. Unfortunately, this smile is uglier than crying. Before, it seemed that others owed him a lot of money, but now it seems that he wanted to kill someone after failing to collect the debt.

"Forget it, forget it." Lan Wu laughed and gave up the idea of ​​letting Olvera go to find out the news. He also knew that Barbara didn't know whether she was dead or alive, and Olvera, a love-struck man, might not be able to laugh.

"You stay here. I'll go over and ask them." Lan Wu lowered his voice and gave a few instructions, then picked up the wine glass and walked to the table with the most people.

These are a dozen sailors who have just landed. When they saw Lan Wu, the adult who did not despise their status and invited them to drink, coming over with a wine glass, they stood up immediately and held up the wine glass in a restrained manner.

"Sit down, sit down." Lan Wu stuck out his butt and squeezed out a seat to sit down.

Seeing this, the others relaxed. Since they didn't mind the fishy smell on their bodies, why should they be so pretentious. So they sat down with a smile and rushed to talk about the interesting things they had experienced at sea.

Lan Wu smiled and tasted the beer, occasionally interrupting them, which immediately stimulated these rough men.

Soon the atmosphere at this table became extremely heated. Everyone was dissatisfied with the interesting things others said, and they racked their brains to come up with strange stories, vying to please Lan Wu, a distinguished professional.

When the other people in the tavern saw that Lan Wu really got along well with the sailors, they immediately felt itchy and stood on the periphery one after another, throwing out strange stories from time to time, and immediately became the center of the crowd. This further stimulated the others. Soon, the wooden table was surrounded by a crowd of people, and dozens of people gathered here.

"I heard that there is a strange pharmacist in Kurast." Lan Wu saw that the time was right, and immediately threw out the topic.

"You are talking about Lord Echo." The head of the sailors at this table took a sip of beer and sighed with a red face: "Lord Echo is a good person. She never looks down on us rough men who go out to sea. I remember that I was bitten by the purple star porpoise in the Gemini Sea last time, and I almost died. I thought I was going to die. I didn't expect that someone spread the news, and Lord Echo actually took the initiative to find me. If it weren't for the kind Lord Echo, I'm afraid I would have turned into a pile of bones now."

Lan Wu's eyes lit up immediately. Sure enough, the people at the bottom of these cities are the most suitable for finding people. Look, there is news about Echo. It's a person who has received help from Echo.

"I heard that Lady Echo is very mysterious, and no one knows where she lives. Is it true?" Lan Wu brought up another topic.

Unexpectedly, the surroundings were silent after the words fell. Lan Wu was stunned for a moment, and then saw the sailor boss shook his head in embarrassment: "Sorry, honorable sir. No one really knows where Lady Echo lives. Only she took the initiative to come to you. Otherwise, even if Kurast was turned upside down, it might not be possible to find her."

The other sailors nodded. The name of the weird pharmacist Echo has been around for a long time. No one has ever known where Echo lives. There are many rumors. Some people say that Echo does not live in Kurast Harbor at all. Some people insist that Echo lives in the city, but no one knows what she looks like. Every time she appears, she is dressed in a black cloak, and even her face is covered with a black cloth, revealing only a pair of eyes.

"No one has ever seen what she looks like?" Lan Wu didn't believe it.

The sailor boss shook his head. Others also shook their heads. This is a mysterious legend of Kurast Harbor. Since it is a legend, of course no one knows the truth.

"Boss, give them another glass of the best wine." Lan Wu saw that he had emptied the bottom of these people, stood up and greeted the tavern owner, and then took out a bag of heavy gold coins and threw it on the table.

"Sir, sir." The tavern owner squeezed his fat body to the table, and returned the bag of gold coins to Lan Wu with his diligent hands: "The gold coins just now are enough."

"Thank you." Lan Wu was not hypocritical. He put away the gold coins, bowed to the surroundings, and smiled: "I want to find Master Eko to prepare a special potion. If anyone has news, go to the largest hotel to find me. My name is Lan Wu, a God-given person from the Rogue Camp. As long as there is news, I have a big reward."

The sailors nodded and agreed. Naturally, no one would miss such a good thing. Besides, Eko has been mysterious for so many years, and everyone is thinking about her background. Killing two birds with one stone, why not do it.

After paying a huge reward, Lan Wu returned to his table and enjoyed the delicious seafood meal. After satisfying his appetite, he and Olvera were about to leave. Unexpectedly, the tavern owner came over mysteriously.

"My lord, I would like to ask you to do me a small favor."
