The woman stood up, her waist twisting, her rear undulating.
She walked straight to the vacant spot at Fang Hao’s table and sat down.
Sir, is this your first time here? Would you like some fortune telling? It’s free for the first time.” The woman’s eyes sparkled seductively, her voice soft. Fang Hao frowned slightly, curiously looking at the woman.
The woman’s attire radiated sensuality and allure, a blue backless dress, a light blue hood on her head, a golden veil made of fine threads concealing her face. But through the veil, it was evident that she was a very beautiful woman.
Are such transactions allowed here?” Fang Hao asked curiously.
He remembered that the skeleton merchant, Ruer, had mentioned when he first brought him here that girls from different races offering their services can be found in the tavern, their prices vary from to to too Warfire Coins.
The woman in front of him claimed to be a fortune teller, but her outfit looked more like a provocative costume.
Perhaps he could take some inspiration from this, to discuss new clothing styles with the tailor Soye when he returned.
Observation, learning, and practice are the key elements of innovation.
Upon hearing Fang Hao’s words, the woman was taken aback, believing he was referring to her fortune-telling business, she replied softly, “Of course, as long as it doesn’t violate the rules here. Would you like to try, sir?”
“How do I try?” Fang Hao asked.
“Just place your hand on the crystal ball.”
Fang Hao raised his hand, reaching for the crystal ball on the table.
But as soon as his fingers touched it, Fang Hao instantly pulled them back, and his other hand reached for the short sword at his waist.
The Light Feather short sword was pinned at his waist. The moment his hand touched the crystal ball there was a clear burning sensation from the sword, which was now gradually subsiding.
“What’s wrong, sir?” The woman asked curiously.
Fang Hao scrutinized the woman more carefully.
Firstly, she was not a Hero, he did not see any notification about her.
Although the Light Feather short sword appeared to be a weapon, its main function was more like a protective charm.
It has a special skill [Blessing], which prevents the holder from suffering from any negative states.
Previously, Fang Hao believed these negative states referred to things like low morale, slow movement, and etc.
Now it too encompassed defense against certain fortune-telling spells.
I don’t need any fortune-telling, please don’t disturb us,” Fang Hao said frankly.
The sudden change in Fang Hao’s demeanor made the woman furrow her brows.
Sir, don t be so quick to refuse, it’s merely an entertaining fortune-telling game,” the woman gently persisted.
“Please…” Fang Hao gestured for her to leave.
The mysterious woman with snow-white skin seemed more and more suspicious to Fang Hao as she came forward on her own initiative.
With no choice left, the woman stood up to leave.
Just as she stood up, she stumbled, crying out as she fell towards Fang Hao. Thump!
Just before she was about to fall into Fang Hao’s arms, Anjia kicked her in the crotch, causing the woman to tumble several meters away.
“Get out!” Anjia shouted angrily.
Clink!
The commotion here drew the attention of the bystanders.
The goblin’s sharp voice echoed angrily, “Dare to cause trouble here, you guys really have quite the nerve.”
The woman brushed off the footprint on her dress, her eyes became a bit sharper.
She smiled at the crowd, “It’s nothing, just playing a joke with some friends.” Hmph! You all know the rules here, I don’t care what your reasons are, if you dare to cause trouble here, you’d better be prepared to face the consequences,” the goblin warned loudly.
Yes, we understand,” the woman looked deeply at Fang Hao, then turned and ascended the stairs to the second floor.
Fang Hao and Anjia didn’t plan to stick around either, they got up and left the store.
In a room on the second floor, near to the street.
The woman watched through the window as Fang Hao and Anjia disappeared into the distance.
She sneered quietly, “Transmigrator, the number one in the region, huh. Your information should be worth quite a bit.”
The woman went back to her desk and recorded all the information she had gathered about Fang Hao.
She stamped a black cross-shaped seal on the document.
As Fang Hao and Anjia exited the Trade Alliance store, the burning sensation from the short sword at his waist was completely gone.
Perhaps ordinary fortune telling could also be considered a negative state, but he was glad that the short sword really could protect him.
Holding the viscera jar adorned with bright runes, Fang Hao said, “That woman
just now didn’t seem like a good person.”
“Yet, you were staring at her butt the whole time.”
“I was gathering design inspiration for Soye, besides, isn’t what she’s showing off meant to be seen by everyone?” Fang Hao said, righteous.
“Hmph,” Anjia turned up her nose.
As if to say, “I’ll believe you when pigs can fly.”
The two stopped again, in front of them was a local tavern.
Standing at the entrance, one could hear the clamor inside.
Let s go, sit for a bit,” Fang Hao suggested.
The tavern is a great place. Whether it’s the Orcs’ or the Humans’, one can always obtain some adventure maps.
Perhaps they could get some here as well.
As the two of them pushed open the door, a strong smell of alcohol and noise rushed in.
Not many people were out on the street, yet this place was filled with drinking clientele of various races.
As soon as they entered with the viscera jar, the tavern fell into a brief silence.
Everyone’s eyes fell on Fang Hao and the viscera jar in his arms.
Fang Hao took a seat near the counter.
“What’ll you have?”
The tavern owner was a human in his 40s with a burly figure.
“Two beers, and some snacks,” Fang Hao stated.
Alright, our smoked meat is famously delicious, it’s your first time here,
would you like to try some?” The owner suggested.
“Sure, one serving.”
He was already here, what’s a little more?
The owner nodded and began preparing the drinks and snacks for Fang Hao.
Fang Hao turned his attention to the notice board by his side.
Instead of single-page maps, there were a few wanted posters.
Some were looking for the queen’s necklace, a physician that could cure unusual diseases, but the last one made Fang Hao squint.
[Person Search Notice: Giovanni Hamilton (Blood Clan)]
[Initiator: Hamilton Family]
[Offer for clues: 50,000 Warfire Coins, 100 Blood Clan Influence Points.]
On the search notice, there was a portrait of the person.
Fang Hao looked at Anjia, and she looked back, shock in her eyes.
‘Giovanni Hamilton’ was the Blood Hunter, currently transformed into a skeleton hero by him.
It was unexpected that his family actually valued him enough to post a bounty.
A vampire sleeping for several years should be a normal thing, yet after just over a month, they have started looking for him.
“Hmm, seen this person? Providing a clue could earn you a huge bounty, and with the guarantee of the Trade Alliance, you don’t have to worry about them backing down on the payment,” the owner said as he brought two beers over.
I ve never seen him, I was just curious that missing persons notices could be posted here,” Fang Hao posted the search notice back on the notice board.
“Yes, searches for people, items, sometimes even troop hiring notices can be found here,” the owner explained.
“Aren’t vampires sleeping for several years normal? Is there a need to post a missing person notice here?”
“Who knows, perhaps they received some news, maybe something happened to him. The Hamilton family is notoriously protective, anyone involved with them is in for some bad luck,” the owner spoke.
