In Neverwinter, Graycastle

Since the Longsong Cannons were not portable, the Artillery Battalion had become exceptionally unoccupied these days cododoration plan Apart fro and the harvest, off-duty soldiers all went back home to spend tio home As the battalion commander, he rarely had free time these days, so Van'er treasured this rare opportunity to unite with his fa on neighbors and old friends Since alcohol was expressively forbidden in the are in relvery hen he was off duty

After years of development, businesses in Neverwinter were currently far 's city Under the influence of Roland's commercial district plan, the premises on either side of the street had now been in extreh demand Two-story pren merchants and were subsequently transformed into hotels, restaurants and taverns Co constantly shi+pped to Neverwinter for sale These shops supplemented the Convenience Market that mainly provided citizens with life necessities and staples

Van'er was iht as he wandered about on the street while surveying peddling vendors The city was busy but not congested Everything was in a strict order: peddlers set up their booths in a designated area; pedestrians walked on the ay paved with slabs; carriages ran in the middle of the road

Van'er remembered that someone had raised questions as to why they needed to broaden up the road in the beginning the construction work Many people questioned about the necessity to create two respective lanes for pedestrians and wagons Now, it appeared that it was quite a wise decision Van'er suspected that Roland ht have foreseen the future beforehand

After passing two main driveways, Van'er reached his destination, the tavern ”Lucky Shell”

As soon as he entered the store, a person lireeted him ”Sir, there you are!”

”Just Van'er This isn't the ar the bartender into a crushi+ng hug ”How's your business going? It looks good, eh?”

This person was known as ”Iron Crutch” Half a year ago during that fierce night battle against the demons at Tower Station No 1, a spear had penetrated Iron Crutch's abdo at the demons to retrieve the artillery field He lost his consciousness on the spot Although Nana later saved hi and had to replace it with an iron stick That was how he got his nickname

Iron Crutch thus retired from the military service He opened this ”Lucky Shell” in the eastern city with the benefits received froovernment and his salaries, and this tavern beca their break

”Since I'm a retired veteran, the rent is relatively low forhis hands in excitement ”If only you could come here a little more often”

Van'er replied, ”Then you'll have to wait for my retirement or when I'm like you By the way, Are Rhone brothers here?”

”They're both upstairs Let me take you up there”

”No, that's fine Don't worry about me Coood,” Iron Crutch agreed pleasantly

Van'er went up stairs and i at a round table Jop Cat's Claw, Rodney and Nelson were all there These people used to shudder at charging knights when the Artillery Battalion had first been founded Now, they had all elevated themselves to military officers that the whole Artillery Battalion relied on Because each of theether in the tavern for a while

Van'er joined theed opinions on various matters ardently The most frequent topic of discussion was naturally the ar to the king, this would be an unprecedentedly massive war that would involve the entire continent They were not certain whether they could see each other again after the war ended

”We're actually quite lucky At least, we don't need to fight those hed ”If the artillery is defeated, then we pretty much lose the battle”
