Chapter 67 Foodie
Just then, a gust of cold wind blew by.

The cold wind howled and crept into everyone's sleeves.

"Zelier, can you please stop telling ghost stories in the middle of the night? Have some manners." Gray couldn't help but shrink back.

"..."

No one said anything more, but they sped up the process of collecting the counting vouchers.

This kind of gloomy place makes people feel uncomfortable just being there.

By the time the team returned to Blackrock Town, the moon was already high in the sky and setting in the east.

"You should all go back and rest first."

Marcus said, "It's the middle of the night, and the Adventurers' Guild is closed. I'll get up early tomorrow morning to deliver the quest, and the rewards will be sent to you one by one then."

"Thank you for your hard work." Vales nodded.

"See you next time then." Gray was already yawning.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Zellier returned to the Nightflower Inn.

Now, it's not Auro who's on night duty, but another lady.

She looked to be in her forties, with a dignified face, but some fine lines inevitably appeared at the corners of her eyes.

Zelil had met this lady a few times before. She always sat quietly behind the counter reading a book. She didn't talk much, but her eyes were gentle and gave people a feeling of wisdom.

The two nodded slightly as a greeting, and then Zeli went straight upstairs to rest.

When I woke up the next day, the sunlight outside the window was already very bright.

Zellir tossed and turned on the bed for a while before slowly sitting up.

It's quite nice to be able to sleep until I naturally wake up every day.

After washing up, Zellier yawned and went downstairs.

A lively and bustling atmosphere full of life washes over you.

It's currently lunchtime at Nightflower Inn, with the lobby dining area occupancy rate reaching 80%.

The aroma of caramelized meat, the savory flavor of rich soup, and the scent of ale all wafted into Zellier's nostrils, whetting his appetite.

Auro was hurrying between the tables, as busy as a bee. Her cheeks were flushed and her nose was glistening with sweat.

"Here it is! The barbecue platter for table number three!"

"Guests at table number seven, your beer!"

"Kitchen! We need another order of sausage for table number nine!"

Auro turned her head and saw Zelier coming downstairs. A smile appeared in her eyes, and she took a break from her busy schedule to run over.

"Zelil, you're finally up."

"I slept too late..."

When I got back last night, it was probably around three or four in the morning.

Zellier scratched his messy hair. "By the way, who was that lady who was on night duty yesterday?"

"You mean Madame De Jane? She's the owner of this hotel."

Oro explained, "When I first arrived in Blackrock Town and had no relatives or friends, she took me in and gave me this job."

“Oh…” Zellier nodded knowingly.

She seems to be a good lady.

"Are you hungry? What would you like to eat?" Auro handed over the menu.

Zellier looked at the menu for a while and chose a relatively light seafood porridge set meal.

I just woke up, and my stomach isn't quite ready for a big meal yet, so I'll have a bowl of porridge to nourish it.

"Okay, come right away!"

Zellier found a seat by the window and sat down.

He held a cup of black tea that Orio had just brought him, its aroma wafting out.

His gaze shifted to the window, watching the bustling street, and Zellier was momentarily lost in thought.

I've been in this world for about a month now, haven't I?

It seems I've gradually adapted to this kind of life.

What should I do today...?

First, I need to go to the Mage's Guild and show the herbs I collected yesterday to Instructor Manlin. Then I need to return the ancient elven book, since I can't figure it out right now anyway.

As I pondered, a calm voice rang in my ears.

"You're awake. I thought you were sleeping."

Zell looked up and saw Marcus.

Before anyone knew it, he had arrived at the Night Flower Inn.

Marcus pulled out a chair and sat down opposite Zellier.

"Oh...have you eaten?"

Seeing that Zellier was about to wave for Oroja again as usual, Marcus quickly raised his hand to stop him. "No, no, no need, I already ate before I came."

"Ok."

"I went to the association early this morning to hand in the task."

As Marcus spoke, he took a cloth bag from his pocket, placed it on the table, and pushed it over.

"This is your share."

Zellier reached out and picked it up, but he soon realized something was wrong—the bag was much heavier than he had expected.

The division of the graveyard mission is 30/30/20, with Zellir and Valesna receiving the largest share.

Twenty-six skeleton soldiers, each costing ten silver coins, can yield two gold coins and sixty silver coins.

One monstrous creature, ten gold coins.

There were a total of twelve gold and sixty silver.

Zellir's reward should have been three gold and seventy-eight silver, but there was clearly more in the bag.

A questioning look fell upon Marcus.

Marcus simply nodded slightly. "I found a trustworthy channel to sell that batch of equipment. It sold for a total of twenty-one gold coins, and I gave you five gold coins."

I see……

Zellier nodded calmly.

These guys have pretty valuable gear.

After accepting this reward, Zellir's personal wealth exceeded thirty gold, setting a new record.

"By the way, did you report on the condition of that body?" Zellier asked.

“I’ve already spoken to the receptionist, Ella, and she immediately reported it to Chairman Hogan. The final decision was that they would handle it together with the sheriff’s office, and it’s not our business,” Marcus said.

Zellier nodded slightly.

"That's good."

Auro came over carrying a large tray and placed seafood porridge, a serving of roasted asparagus, and two pieces of soft bread spread with butter in front of Zellier.

"Your seafood congee set meal is here! Please enjoy."

After saying that, Aurora turned to Marcus enthusiastically, "Oh, it's Mr. Marcus. Would you like something?"

"No thanks."

Marcus waved his hand and stood up. "Then I'll be going now. You get some rest, Zellir."

“Okay.” Zellier watched Marcus leave.

Auro held the tray, looking thoughtful.

"It seems you hold a high position in the team. Even the experienced and steady Mr. Marcus has come to you several times."

"It's alright, everyone helps each other out," Zellier said.

"The guests at table number twelve want to order!" came a shout from the other side of the hall.

"Coming!" Auro responded and jogged over.

Zellier picked up a spoon and began to taste the seafood porridge.

Although they are called seafood, they are actually all products of the rivers near Blackstone Town.

The snow-white fish slices have been stewed until they melt in your mouth, and a few bright red river shrimp are soaking in the porridge. A sprinkle of pepper adds a touch of flavor, making it look incredibly appetizing.

The porridge was cooked until it was extremely soft and sticky. With each spoonful, the freshness of the fish and the sweetness of the river shrimp blended together, making every bite a delight.

This set meal is a bit cheaper than the red wine beef shank, costing only one silver and fifty copper coins, but it's still not a meal that ordinary people can afford to eat every day.

But Zellier never neglected his stomach; he was quite willing to spend money on food, and in less than a month, he had used up nearly a gold coin.

If you spend all your time outside training, running errands, and slaying monsters, what's the point of living if you can't even get a decent meal when you come back?

I'd rather die.

After enjoying the seafood porridge, Zelier felt much more comfortable.

He went to the front desk to pay the bill and also took out a few coins.

"Is this my tip?" Auro winked playfully.

"A tip of fifty silver coins? I might as well hire you as my personal maid."

Zellier laughed, "This is next month's room fee; I'm paying it in advance."

"I thought I was about to strike it rich," Auro wrinkled her nose.

After Zellier left the Nightflower Inn, Oro began to count the silver coins on the table.

After she finished paying, she found that in addition to the room fee, there were two extra silver coins.

"Humph……"

Auro didn't say anything, but a silent smile spread across her lips.
