Making Inquiries, School of Sacred Artifacts

Upon entering the Late Night Tavern in Lilai City, Lin Yu found exactly what he had expected: there was far more to the place than met the eye.

On the surface, it looked like an ordinary residence. Once inside, however, it became clear that the place had been excavated deep underground, creating an expansive subterranean space.

Although the décor was rather crude, with most of the supports made from roughly hewn stone and logs, the furniture was also simple and primitive in style.

Even the lighting came from torches mounted on the walls.

Yet because the space was so vast and the crowd inside so lively, the tavern instead possessed a unique atmosphere.

Adventurers came and went, sitting at wooden tables as they drank and ate meat with abandon, playing all sorts of gambling games with cards and tiles.

And in the very center of the entire "Late Night Tavern"...

two Transcendents were engaged in a barehanded fight. Their blows landed with meaty thuds, drawing wave after wave of cheers from the spectators.

This really was paradise for releasing one's hormones.

Especially under the late-night curfew policy, even the perfectly legal act of eating a midnight snack had become thrilling—let alone the gambling and underground boxing matches that were illegal to begin with.

Lin Yu found the place rather noisy, but A'yu seemed to thrive in this kind of environment.

She went to the bar with practiced ease, bought two large cups of juice and a plate of roasted meat, and found a table to sit at. On the way, she also bought a betting slip on one of the fighters from the people taking bets beside the Arena.

Looking at A'yu's expression of contentment, Lin Yu could not help speaking up.
