Chapter 309 Alien City
Hertzperona, the largest city in the world, can be felt the oppressive feeling brought by this city even from a distance.

At this point, the escort commission of Luo Qiu and others has been completed. After getting the token from Aber, they can go to the Adventurer's Guild to settle the commission.

"Lord Luo Qiu, I know there is a restaurant opened by a cat woman in Hertzperona. Shall we go there for a drink later?"

Abel gave Luo Qiu a look that every man understood.

"A restaurant opened by Catwoman?" Luo Qiu's eyes lit up. This was quite interesting. Even in "Burning Realm of the Gods" there was no such thing.

Shenhong didn't say anything, but just looked at Luo Qiu quietly.

"Ahem, sorry, we have something else to do."

"Is that so? That's a pity."

Although Aber felt it was a bit of a pity, it was understandable. Gold-level adventurers were busy with all kinds of things, unlike businessmen like him. What's more, in his mind, Luo Qiu and Shen Hong were much more mysterious than ordinary Gold-level adventurers. If Luo Qiu told him at this time, "We are actually Glory-level adventurers," Aber would believe it without a doubt.

The adventurers who had gathered together then disbanded and went about their business.

Luo Qiu glanced at Wayne, who was quite inconspicuous in the crowd, and nodded slightly.

This person did not show off or become proud because of the sudden improvement in his strength. He is still the same as before. It seems that there is still a lot to look forward to. The gold level is not his upper limit.

After watching Wayne leave, Luo Qiu said to Shen Hong: "Let's go in and take a look. Hehe, coming here really feels like being in another world."

Although Shenhong didn't quite understand what Luo Qiu said, she still followed his steps and stepped into this "free city".

Herzperona, the style of this city is completely different from that of the human kingdom. On both sides of the bustling streets there are strange buildings of different styles, all of which were built by people from various races according to their own habits. It can be said that a hundred flowers bloom together, with a unique flavor.

People setting up stalls, opening shops, and even begging on the streets were all from different races. Luo Qiu also saw a brothel run by fox girls. Even though it was broad daylight, the business was booming. The fox girls standing outside the door twisted their proud bodies with charming smiles on their faces and helped the customers in.

“The best deep-fried crispy meat patties, made from Yalong’s finest tenderloin, at a fair price, with your choice of flavor!”

A rough voice came into Luo Qiu's ears, making him stop and look.

In front of the mobile vendor was an elderly half-bear man. He was no longer tall but rather hunched over. However, he still looked energetic and was shouting at the top of his voice.

I have to say, the smell of fried crispy meat is still very tempting, attracting Luo Qiu to walk over.

Shenhong pouted slightly behind her, and her eyes looking at the old bear man were not so friendly.

A challenger has emerged in the field in which he excels.

"Boss, how much is a piece of crispy meat pie?"

"A small portion is one silver coin, a medium portion is two silver coins, and a large portion is three silver coins." The old bear man smiled like a brilliant chrysanthemum when he saw business coming to his door.

It's no wonder that no one is interested in the old bear man's stall as the crispy meat pie is sold with silver coins. However, if you think about it carefully, the raw material he uses is dragon tenderloin, so the price seems too cheap.

Even a sub-dragon with only a trace of dragon blood would not be sold for just a few silver coins.

There is naturally something fishy about this.

The raw materials used by this old bear man are indeed related to Asian dragons, but they are just mutant lizard beasts that are eighteen generations apart from Asian dragons in bloodline. They can barely be considered to have a certain relationship with Asian dragons.

Luo Qiu didn't care about these. As long as the meat pie tasted good, he would think it was worth it even if he spent a few gold coins. "Give me a medium one, black pepper, or deep red. What flavor do you want?"

"Just like the master."

"Then I'll have two medium black pepper flavors."

"Okay, two servings of black pepper flavor."

The old bear man skillfully wrapped two crispy meat patties and handed them over.

After Luo Qiu took it, he gently sniffed the tempting aroma, put it to his mouth and took a big bite.

It melts in your mouth, is crispy and tender, and leaves a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth.

This old bear man is quite capable. Even Shenhong has never made such a crispy meat pie.

Shenhong lowered her head and chewed the crispy meat pie. Her eyes fluctuated, and the slight bit of dissatisfaction she had originally felt disappeared. She turned into a serious look and analyzed the cooking structure of the crispy meat pie.

After finishing the fried meat patties, Luo Qiu stretched himself. Hertzperona lived up to its reputation. He tasted such delicious food not long after arriving in the city. Luo Qiu was looking forward to what other surprises were waiting for him.

Next, Luo Qiu took Shenhong to wander around Hertzperola, as if they had forgotten the purpose of their visit, as if they really just came here purely for tourism and to appreciate the scenery of the other world.

The sky was dark, and the magical lights on the streets lit up in rows. The city seemed even more lively because of the bright lights.

A certain tavern was filled with adventurers from various races, all talking about what they had seen and heard today.

"Today we encountered a group of demonized black panther dogs in the 'Black Ruins'. It was a really fierce battle. Fortunately, I brought enough healing potions this time, otherwise it would have been really dangerous. Damn, my armor was chewed up by those dogs. Now I have to rest for two or three days."

"Demonized black panther dog? Those things live in groups, and their fur is precious. Old panther, it seems that you have made a great harvest this time."

"It's just so-so. Only the dog skins are worth a bit of money. You can't make much money."

"I heard that the people from Thunder went to Flame Territory today. I wonder how they are doing. That damn place is so hot that even my patience can't stand it. I heard that there is a terrifying volcanic giant at the bottom of Flame Territory. I wonder if it's true or not."

"A volcanic giant? That's too scary. I'm afraid that there are only two gold-level adventurers in Thunderbolt who can't deal with it."

"Who knows, maybe they have prepared some killer tricks."

"By the way, does anyone know what's going on in the 'Absolute Rock Cave'? Has anyone been there recently?"

After these words were spoken, the entire tavern fell silent.

Those adventurers who were originally talking loudly shut their mouths involuntarily, with different expressions on their faces.

Some people had fear in their eyes, as if they were thinking of some bad memories. Others sighed and shook their heads, not knowing what they were regretting. No one spoke for a moment.

In the corner of the tavern, a young human who was sipping wine said, "I heard that a giant dragon appeared in the 'Absolute Rock Cave' some time ago. I wonder if this news is true or false?"

"Of course it's true. I saw it with my own eyes that day. The 'Absolute Rock Cave' was shaking, and a giant dragon flew across the sky. That dragon was so terrifying that it covered the sky and blocked out the sun. The dragon's breath could even burn magic. The 'Silver Swords' of the Human Empire were directly burned to ashes. The 'Silver Swords' had two glory-level adventurers." said a dark-skinned alien, his hand holding the wine glass still trembling a little. It was obvious that the giant dragon that day had left him with a big psychological trauma.

"It wasn't just the 'Silver Sword' that died that day. The 'Dark Night Group', the 'Dragon Slayer Alliance', and the 'Golden Angel' also died..."
