Ceres, Old Port District.
This Kingdom of Invya capital accommodates more than one million long-term residents, so the city area is naturally huge.
It is divided into seven major regions, and Old Port District is one of them. It is a place where countless civilians and subordinates live, similar to Rand City and Lower City.
When night fell, Ronan came to Old Port District alone.
Then after some inquiries, I found Blue Whale Tavern.
The night was not very dark at this time, and people were coming and going on the long street. Compared with the central area of Ceres, this old port, which had long since declined, seemed chaotic and noisy.
Garbage that has not been cleaned up can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys, and there are three to five beggars and homeless people huddled next to them.
Every city has prosperous and wealthy sides as well as poor and backward sides, and Ceres is obviously no exception.
But the security here seems to be pretty good, at least there are no thieves wandering around the crowd to steal.
When Ronan opened the door of Blue Whale Tavern, a smell mixed with low-quality tobacco, alcohol, powder, sweat, barbecue, etc. suddenly hit his face.
He subconsciously inspired Psionic Power to block out this strong aura.
But Ronan couldn't stop the hustle and bustle inside.
Blue Whale Tavern is quite big, and it is packed with all kinds of drinkers. There is not a single free table in sight, and even the seats in front of the bar are full.
Many drinkers were standing in the corners and along the aisles holding wine glasses. Some were chatting and laughing, and some were whispering.
There is also a performance stage in the middle of the hall, where three beautiful dancers dance passionately accompanied by musicians.
Their charming and sexy movements frequently aroused applause from the drinkers, and copper coins were thrown up like raindrops, even mixed with a few silver dollars.
Ronan squeezed through the crowd with some difficulty and came to the front of the bar.
Since there was no seat, he could only stand and greeted the busy bartender inside, "Please bring me a glass of ale."
The bartender glanced at Ronan, immediately stopped what he was doing, and first gave him a full glass of fresh ale.
"One silver dollar, thank you."
So expensive?
Ronan is somewhat surprised.
The same cup of ale costs at most 20 copper coins in Rand City's tavern, and a cheaper one of more than a dozen copper coins is enough.
Although the consumption of Ceres is very high, this Blue Whale Tavern is not a high-end place. He does not think that the drinkers here have the ability to spend such a high amount of money.
Ronan was keenly aware of the strange looks from around him, most of which were teasing and mocking.
He suddenly realized that he was being slaughtered like a pig!
In fact, Ronan's age, dress and temperament are obviously incompatible with this pub.
He attracted a lot of people's attention as soon as he came in.
When bartenders rip off customers, they most likely treat Ronan as the kind of aristocrat or businessman who comes out for excitement!
He calmly took out a silver dollar and threw it on the counter, then took the wine glass and took a sip.
The taste is okay.
At this time, a drinker next to him whistled and said with a smile, "This generous and wealthy young master, can you treat Buck to a drink? I have never drank ale for one silver dollar a cup!"
The drinker named Buck has a strong figure and a fierce appearance. He looked at Ronan with a hint of malice in his eyes.
As soon as he finished speaking, the other drinkers around him laughed, as if they had discovered something interesting.
"Okay."
Ronan smiled and took out another silver dollar and said to the bartender, "Have another drink."
The bartender was very surprised and looked at Ronan as if he were looking at a pen.
But Ronan had already paid, so he didn't say anything and poured another glass of ale over.
"Haha, thank you young master!"
Buck smiled and stretched out his big furry hand to get the wine glass.
As a result, before his fingers touched the cup, he was held by Ronan: "I want to ask you a question."
Buck was stunned for a moment, then became furious. "Let go!"
While scolding, his right arm suddenly exerted force, and his muscles instantly bulged, trying to throw Ronan somersaults.
The result was not moving at all!
Buck's expression changed.
As a senior mercenary, although he does not have the strength of a transcendent, he has reached the level of an elite warrior. The sudden burst of power is by no means something that a weak nobleman can withstand.
However, now that he was exerting all his strength, he could not shake Ronan at all. The latter's hand seemed to contain a huge amount of power, suppressing his struggle and resistance.
Buck even feels that as long as Ronan and Add Points are stronger, his wrist bones will turn into powder!
He took a deep breath and gave Ronan a flattering smile, "Sorry, my voice was a little loud just now. Do you have any questions?"
Mercenary Buck is not a brainless person. He has been able to survive until now because he has mastered the ability to assess the situation and act according to the wind. When he realized that he had kicked the iron plate, he immediately lowered his stance.
Even if there were several companions around him, Buck chose to surrender temporarily.
The surrounding drinkers were all stunned, wondering why Buck's expression changed so quickly.
Ronan let go of the other party's hand and asked, "I'm here to find someone. Do you know someone named Old Jack?"
"Old Jack?"
Buck really knows. "Are you talking about the Old Jack who is obsessed with alchemy?"
Ronan smiled and said, "Yes, that's him."
He was lucky enough to find out without much trouble. He estimated that Old Jack should be a famous person here.
"Old Jack must be in Copper Anchor Casino at this time."
Buck swallowed and said, "He would only come here to drink if he lost all his money."
"Take me to find him."
Ronan took out a Pound Sterling and threw it on the counter. "This is the reward."
The golden pound flashing with attractive light made Buck's eyes brighten instantly, and his smile became much more sincere, "Okay, I will take you to Copper Anchor Casino to find Old Jack now."
"If you don't find it there, I'll take you to his house to look for it!"
Buck I didn't expect Ronan Make a Move to be so generous. I felt like I was hit by a pie falling from the sky.
If it were another person, this mercenary might have evil thoughts.
But Ronan has proven his strength, and he has become very obedient and sensible.
The surrounding drinkers all looked at Buck with envy and hatred - this money is so profitable!
Some people even had thoughts.
Buck hurriedly put away the gold pound, not even drinking the ale on the counter, and left the Blue Whale Bar with Ronan.
The Copper Anchor Casino he was talking about was not far from this bar, just a few hundred meters away. It was just that the place was relatively remote, but it was equally lively and noisy inside.
Buck took Ronan around the casino, and finally found Old Jack at a gaming table in the corner.
And this guy who is obsessed with alchemy is currently surrounded by three or five burly men Tuan Tuan.
He looked completely pitiful, weak, and helpless!
