Chapter 319: Thank you, Nancy! (1/2)
Our bored gamer went out indeed and it did not take him long to find out that this place was as humble as they come.
The streets were almost deserted and there were only a few open lights in the town.
The torches paved little to no joy to the scene and it was as if everyone was in mourning in this fine cold eve.
Alas, this was only the norm in little towns like Shimmerwood and it would be a lie indeed to say that Clark was not at all disappointed from what he witnessed tonight.
Thus, our good gamer wanted to know where the fun was in this desolated place.
”Is this all there is in this town, Nancy?” Our bored gamer asked in the end.
”Affirmative, host.” Nancy replied.
”But if you're looking to find something interesting tonight then there is a place that would fit your requirements.” The helpful system added after a beat.
Nancy knew its host from the inside out and was only too willing to assist in any way she could.
”Interesting, you say? Hmmm... That is exactly the place where I need to be, Nancy. Lead the way.” Clark smiled and was optimistic about the words of his system.
”Affirmative, host.” Nancy responded in a cheery voice.
Ten minutes later and our bored gamer's steps took him to a specific location in town.
The place was not at all secluded but may perhaps boasted one of the more bigger buildings in Shimmerwood.
The structure was of course only made of wood products but the careful attention of its maker had set it apart from the nearby housing in the place.
Although it was still subpar in the eyes of our bored gamer but to the rest of the people in the town, this place was one of the most luxurious spots to be in.
”HALT!” A big man raised his right arm in a warding gesture. He was the gatekeeper of the place and it was his job to filter the players in this modest hall.
”We don't accept vagrants in here.” The big man said in a menacing voice.
He could see that our bored gamer was a new face in town that he did not recognize and thus, he was very much looking unfavorably at this unwanted visitor.
Unfortunately for him, Clark was not someone that would take no for an answer tonight.
”TING!”
”TING!”
”TING!” Three bouncing jiggles of coin pieces resulted in the rise and fall of a pouch brimming with mortal wealth.
”I may be a vagrant but I'm a rich vagrant at that. Does your establishment shy away from the business that i bring?”
Our avid gamer teased and began playing the music of money and greed using the said overweight pouch.
”...” The big man gazed at the bag of coins and it did not take him long to decide the best course of action for the night.
”Welcome, dear guest. You may proceed inside.” The gatekeeper smiled and his demeanor changed completely along the fresh information that beset him.
This big man was indeed a soul that knew how to adapt to the circumstances of the time.
”Thank you.” Clark nodded and dropped 3 silver coins unto the hands of the big man. This was the greatest benefit of wealth.
It would open closed doors for anyone who has had enough of them. A few breaths later and our bored gamer went through the thick doors in front.
And it was at this point when he realized what this place really was.
”I bet a hundred copper coins!”
