Chapter 33: Huge deal incoming!
The tavern was easily the liveliest place in any major city across the entire game. There were plenty of reasons for this, but the biggest one was that NPC heroes would often show up here. If you had the right qualifications—or just got really lucky—you could recruit them.
And landing a hero? That was like winning the lottery!
So naturally, everyone wanted to try their luck.
At the same time, the tavern was also a hub for intelligence exchanges and resource trading.
Take Silver Horn City, for example—just the daily volume of private player transactions in the tavern often exceeded hundreds of thousands!
And if a big deal went down? It could easily break a million!
And we’re talking gold coins, not real-world money.
Yeah, it was that insane...
Right now, in a small private room on the second floor of the Silver Horn Tavern, a tall, lanky man with a thin mustache looked genuinely surprised.
"Starlily, you’re saying you ran into him in Sunfire Basin? That’s on the outskirts of Sylvanwood, isn’t it? What were you guys doing in such a dangerous place?"
Across from him, a stunning woman with an elegant figure responded, "Blackblade took on a C-rank quest—one of those chain quests. This particular step happened to be in Sunfire Basin. We finished the quest and figured we’d grind some levels while we were there. But before we even got started, we ran into him."
