…
Beside the road paved with rough stone slabs.
Even if it's a dozen steps away.
Ji Qiu could also smell the strong aroma of alcohol coming from the JuX tavern.
Two tall back demons looked seriously at every visitor who passed by.
Perhaps it was because the guards were too intimidating.
There are the fewest people lingering in front of the Big X Tavern.
Ji Qiu observed for a while.
I found that there were quite a few guests entering.
But the average quality is much higher than other pubs!
"The master is really amazing!"
Ji Qiu secretly praised in his heart.
Just in this moment of distraction.
He used his unique "judgment technique" to roughly figure out the situation of this tavern -
His eyes penetrated the heavy buildings.
Directly locked onto a female demon with an extremely hot body.
She was sitting in a box in the tavern.
Her upper body was covered only with a thin layer of black gauze.
With the natural twist of the waist
A very short leather skirt hung around her waist.
Under the leather skirt is a pair of healthy and energetic thighs.
One of the legs was wearing a pair of shiny black stockings.
This scene.
Ji Qiu's eyelids twitched wildly.
This is not because Ji Qiu is addicted to LSP...
Instead, he sensed the aura of a superior being from the female devil!
"Her name is also Xia Qirui!"
"But she doesn't own this castle!"
"Could it be that Xia Qirui is Abyss's last name? Is the real Lord Xia Qirui her sister or aunt or something like that?"
Just a moment.
Ji Qiu then understood the reason for the "high safety factor".
The owner of the Giant X Tavern has an extraordinary origin.
It is very likely related to Lord Shaqiri himself.
As the saying goes, a rabbit doesn't eat grass near its burrow.
As long as this great demon lord has no problem with his brain.
This pub certainly had its rules, at least on the surface.
This also explains why Ji Qiu had previously observed that this tavern was different from other taverns.
"No wonder they can afford to hire high-level demons like the Spineback as guards!"
Ji Qiu understood.
Now.
He adjusted the position of his cloak.
Just walked by naturally like everyone else.
When you get to the door.
The two spineback guards coldly reached out to stop him:
"What's the name?"
"Where are you from?"
"What are you going to do in there?"
Ji Qiu was stunned by the three questions in a row.
His eyes rested on the back of the half-elf who had entered the door before him.
She seemed to have sensed his doubt.
The back demon guard said gruffly:
"When a stranger comes back for the first time, he needs to report. Once he is sure there is no problem, he doesn't need to report."
Ji Qiu said in a deep voice:
"My name is Tata, and I'm a plane traveler."
"I went in to find a place to rest and get some information."
The words fell.
Ji Qiu could feel the extremely oppressive gaze of the Spine Demon Guard.
But he is a quasi-immortal master after all.
There was no way the two nearly upgraded back demons could affect his condition.
So he stood there calmly.
About a minute passed.
One of the spineback demons said:
"Okay."
"Remember not to cause trouble when you go in. No one can protect you if you do!"
"Also, Tata is not your real name. It doesn't matter, but what I want to say is that this name is really sloppy and ugly..."
Ji Qiu raised his head slightly.
A little stunned.
The back demon has moved out of the way.
One of them even patted Ji Qiu on the back.
Signal him to go in quickly.
Don't block the next guest.
…
The interior display and structure of the pub are not much different from other pubs.
Ji Qiu walked in slowly.
I ordered two drinks with low alcohol content.
After drinking quietly at the bar for a while.
He found a chance to ask the bartender:
"If I want to get information, who should I go to?"
The bartender looked up at him:
"You don't think that since we are both human, I won't charge you for the introduction fee, do you?"
Ji Qiu burst out laughing:
"I thought you'd at least give me a discount!"
The human bartender who obviously had demonic blood said unhappily:
"If ordinary intelligence has a chance of going wrong, then discounted intelligence is 100% likely to go wrong..."
He said with a joking expression:
"Although you are trying your best to disguise yourself, truly experienced plane travelers will not bargain over the price of intelligence - they may be stingy, but they also know that you get what you pay for!"
"Fortunately you are lucky to have entered this tavern. If you were somewhere else, the corpse collectors would have to take your job away tomorrow morning!"
…
Ji Qiu felt a little embarrassed.
But he didn't show it.
Instead, he changed the subject with a normal expression:
"So your tavern is unusual?"
The bartender snorted.
No one responded to this conversation.
He wiped the cup in his hand.
Remove all the rusty parts.
Then he said slowly:
…
"If you want to get information.
There are so many ways here!
After all, there are always well-informed guys in the tavern.
promise!
Did you see it?
The guy in the booth over there - that silly-looking bear goblin, his name is Sis, he is a famous information dealer, many people buy information from him, and he is also willing to give discounts to his customers..."
…
Speaking of this.
He smiled silently:
"Maybe he is the best fit for you..."
Ji Qiu glanced at the bear goblin.
The martial artist's superhuman intuition told him that this guy was definitely a ruthless character!
Although he looks honest.
But that was just his disguise.
"You just said there are many ways..."
Ji Qiu did not respond directly to the bartender's words.
Instead, he quietly rolled three silver coins over.
The bartender took the money.
His tone suddenly became much kinder:
…
“There’s a cripple in the back alley.
He opened a tailor shop.
He also runs an intelligence business privately.
The asking price is fair.
But this person does business based on his mood!
If you meet him when he is in a good mood.
Not only is the intelligence true.
And it will be half price.
But if you're unlucky.
Losing some money might be the best case scenario..."
…
Ji Qiu frowned:
"My luck has never been very good..."
"Then it seems that you are not lucky to find this tavern..."
The bartender said meaningfully:
…
"There is another person in the dungeon in the basement of the tavern. He always has valuable intelligence on hand, but his price is very high, sometimes even higher than the value of what you can get..."
…
"There are basements and dungeons here?"
Ji Qiu's heart trembled:
"Has he committed any crime?"
The bartender looked at him with amusement:
“How could the person who committed the crime still be alive?
He was a wizard with a good temper but strange behavior.
He just rented the boss's basement to use as a dungeon.
He claimed to be working on some project.
Although you seem to be quiet all day long.
But half a month ago.
He almost summoned an army of demons from Purgatory in his basement!"
…
The bartender looked interested.
Next, the three intelligence dealers were reviewed and analyzed in depth.
The level of detail is encyclopedic.
The more Ji Qiu listened, the more he felt that these three silver coins were worth it!
He even felt that the other party was a little too enthusiastic!
Ji Qiu thought for a while:
"I'd better go to the basement first..."
Anyway.
Since the wizard in the basement can guarantee the authenticity of the information.
Then the price is negotiable.
Ji Qiu didn't want to waste too much time on this kind of thing.
But who knew that just when he was about to stand up.
The bartender suddenly grabbed him and said:
"Wait! I haven't finished what I'm saying yet—none of these three will take your business right now!"
Ji Qiu was surprised:
"Why?"
"Because just now, someone wanted to do business with you in person..."
The bartender pursed his lips.
Then he pointed to the door of the box and said:
"Go in from here! The boss lady wants to see you, you are so lucky! With the help of the boss lady, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished in this Shaqiri Castle!"
Ji Qiu said vigilantly:
"When did she say she wanted to see me?"
The bartender said naturally:
"Just before you asked me the question, I saw her gesture..."
Ji Qiu wondered:
"Then why are you still pestering me after I've said so much?"
The bartender spread his hands:
"I can't help it. Those three guys paid me advertising fees. I have to go through the process for every customer who comes to ask for information. Anyway, the landlady is not in a hurry...Okay, you can enter the box now. The landlady is waiting for you inside!"
As he said this, he went to make drinks for other guests.
And I don’t know since when.
The door of the box, which was originally tightly closed, quietly opened a crack.
Ji Qiu didn't back down either.
He walked in with his chest puffed out.
…
The scene in the box was not much different from what Ji Qiu had seen before.
Compared to the pub lobby.
This place is kept very clean.
The female demon that Ji Qiu had seen earlier was sitting seductively on the sofa.
In her hand she was playing with a crystal ball that was emitting a lavender glow.
With Ji Qiu's eyesight, it was not difficult for him to see the transparent liquid sticking to the crystal ball.
He pretended not to see it.
"My name is Tata..."
Ji Qiu greeted.
"I don't need to know your name, I just think you look pretty..."
The female demon did not hide her thoughts:
"If you can satisfy me, the information you need will be available at any time..."
As she said this, she took the initiative to spread her legs.
Ji Qiu's eyes involuntarily looked up at the ceiling.
"If I attack you now, you will probably die..."
The female demon seemed to be in even higher spirits.
Her cheeks flushed slightly.
Even the nails were bleeding.
The temperature in the box seemed to rise a bit.
A very stimulating and intoxicating fragrance began to emanate.
"I……"
Ji Qiu hadn't finished speaking yet.
Then he heard Roger's voice in his heart:
"Just pretend I'm not here..."
Even though the voice sounded emotionless.
But Ji Qiu always felt that there was a hint of humor in it.
"Sorry, I already have a wife..."
Ji Qiu subconsciously took a step back.
Then he righteously rejected the female devil's improper request.
The female demon said strangely:
"But I don't want to be your wife... I just like you today, but I might not be interested in you tomorrow..."
Speaking of this.
Her tone became a little colder:
“Human beings have such strange ideas!
The bottom tier people remain faithful to their spouses.
It's just to counter the risk.
The upper class promotes loyalty only to maintain social stability.
And there is someone like you.
There is no need to stick to these!
Isn’t it? "
"Or do you have no interest in me?"
As she said this, she puffed out her chest in defiance.
Ji Qiu took another step back.
He gritted his teeth and spoke to himself:
"I'm here to buy intelligence!"
"Then you've come to the wrong place. There's no intelligence for you to buy here!"
The female demon said coldly:
"You're given three seconds to get out of my box!"
Ji Qiu was shocked.
He was not allowed to explain.
A powerful force pushed him out.
Accompany this process.
The voice of the female devil reached his ears:
…
"You rejected me, which is good, but I'm afraid you can't buy the information you want anywhere else in this castle..."
…
"Unless you can get my forgiveness...but I'm suddenly in a bad mood now, so get out!"
…
The words fell.
The enormous force carried Ji Qiu to the outside of the JuX Tavern in one breath!
Wait until Ji Qiu's figure disappears.
The female demon suddenly lost her previous enchanting and lazy look.
She held the crystal ball to her chest.
Sitting upright, he said:
"Sister, I may have found the person you need..."
"oh?"
An extremely cold voice sounded:
"who is he?"
…
With a snap.
Ji Qiu landed steadily in the alley behind the tavern.
He paced back and forth at the back door in some embarrassment.
After a while.
Roger's voice sounded faintly:
"What? You really want to go back and look for that female demon? I have to tell you in advance that demons have many tricks, and you may not be able to handle them all..."
Ji Qiu was shocked:
"Master, how did you know this? Could it be..."
Roger choked.
He immediately reprimanded:
"Don't change the subject! What? Apart from purchasing intelligence, you have no other way to get the information you want?"
Ji Qiu pondered and said:
"Yes, there is, but the means are rather... unfair..."
"What could be more unjust than being a slave to the devil?"
Roger said helplessly:
"Be brave! I'm with you...nothing will happen!"
Hearing this.
Ji Qiu suddenly felt like he had a backbone.
He then left the alley.
The traveler's cloak fluttered.
The power of the Dharmadhatu is activated.
Ji Qiu disappeared on the spot.
Started his own action.
…
Midnight.
The Castle of Shaqiri is a remote and deserted place.
A man in a cloak slowly appeared.
The blood-red moonlight scattered on the ground.
It also provided him with enough lighting.
Bang!
Ji Qiu put a thick stack of things on the ground.
He sat down.
Start unpacking the documents one by one.
Roger, who had been concentrating on his work for the whole afternoon, finally couldn't help but speak:
"How much information did you steal?"
"have no idea."
Ji Qiu shook his head:
"Anyway, I didn't let go of any information dealer I had contacted..."
Now it was Roger's turn to be silent.
This guy Ji Qiu...
He actually stole a whole sack of intelligence documents!
And all these things came from the intelligence dealer he talked to in the afternoon!
Although under the orders of the female demon.
All the information dealers in the castle refused to do business with him.
But he still achieved his goal in his own way!
That's stealing!
At first Roger watched for a while.
He was stunned by Ji Qiu's superb stealing skills.
He didn't plan to ask at the time.
I didn't expect to switch the screen back at night.
The other party has already stolen the hemp!
This time he couldn't help it:
"What did you do before?"
Ji Qiu coughed.
In his defense:
"When I had difficulties before, I practiced secretly for a while..."
"Master, you don't know that many martial artists have experienced poverty and destitution..."
"So many martial artists have the art of stealing as their hidden talent..."
Roger said no more.
Everyone has their own past.
Ji Qiu flipped through the stack of information with great interest.
Suddenly.
He pointed to one of the letters and said:
…
"There is intelligence that the Magic Angels and the Demon Dragons suddenly started a war... This time point seems to coincide with the time when the Self-Rescue Society entered the Abyss that you mentioned..."
…
