Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 756: A Special Tavern
Chapter 756: Chapter 756: A Special Tavern
On either side of the entrance to the first floor of the ’Ice and Fire Building’, there stood a solemn-looking middle-aged man, standing like guards guarding the door.
Wyatt Barnes and Winnie Romero walked side by side, heading inside together.
As they approached the entrance, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but frown, for he detected an extremely unusual aura.
When he extended his spiritual power, he immediately discovered the ’Inscription Formation’ set up at the entrance.
This ’Inscription Formation’ is just a common Inscription Formation. Any martial artist passing through it will resonate with the Inscription Formation’s power.
For martial artists approved by the Inscription Formation, it will emit a clear sound as if saying ’welcome’.
If a martial artist does not get approval from the Inscriptions Formation, it will produce a low and unpleasant sound as if showing ’resistance’.
In general, this is a type of Inscription Formation that can evaluate the skill of a martial artist.
"This is just a bar, what’s the purpose of this Inscription Formation?"
Wyatt Barnes, puzzled, walked slowly towards the first floor of the Ice and Fire Building with Winnie Romero.
At the same time, as they passed through the gate, two incredibly clear sounds suddenly rang out.
Obviously, Wyatt Barnes and Winnie Romero had been recognized by the ’Inscription Formation’ at the entrance.
Upon entering, Winnie Romero looked at Wyatt Barnes and asked with a surprised face, "Brother Barnes, aren’t you curious about those two sounds just now? They only sounded when we passed through the gate."
"Why would I be curious? It’s just a simple Inscription Formation."
Wyatt Barnes shook his head and smiled.
Upon hearing this, Winnie Romero was taken aback at first, then her pretty face turned slightly red, "I forgot, Brother Barnes, you are a powerful ’Inscription Master’."
"However, while I am not curious about that Inscription Formation, I am really curious about why they would set up such an Inscription Formation in this mere tavern... Do the martial artists who fail to get the approval of the Inscription Formation have no entry?"
Wyatt Barnes looked puzzled.
In his opinion, no matter what, the ’Ice and Fire Building’ is still a bar, so martial artists who are not approved by the Inscription Formation are not allowed to enter?
Earlier, Wyatt Barnes discovered the ’secret’ of the Inscription Formation at the entrance of the first floor of the Ice and Fire Building using his spiritual power, knowing that only martial artists who have ’Entered the Void Realm First Level’ and above could gain its approval.
That is to say, only when a martial artist of the Void Realm and above enters, would a clear sound be made.
If a martial artist below the Void Realm enters, a low and unpleasant sound would be made.
"Brother Barnes, you guessed it completely right... This ’Ice and Fire Building’ indeed has this limitation. To enter here for a drink, one must at least be a martial artist who has ’Entered the Void Realm First level’."
While Winnie Romero was speaking, she turned her head back towards the gate, "You must have seen the two standing outside. If a martial artist is still below Void Realm, they will be driven away directly. Those two themselves are martial artists who have entered the Void Realm First Level."
This made Wyatt speechless.
How is that possible?
What kind of bar is this? Open the door but still pick the customers?
"Brother Barnes, don’t you think that it’s a foolish act of ’Ice and Fire Building’ to exclude a large number of customers?"
It seemed that Winnie Romero could see through Wyatt Barnes’ thoughts and asked with a smile.
Wyatt Barnes nodded, indeed, that’s what he thought.
In his view, no matter what, the Ice and Fire Building is just a ’bar’. Since it has opened its door to do business, it cannot reject its customers, right?
Doing so would lose numerous profits.
"Brother Barnes, this ’Ice and Fire Building’ is the most profitable business under the leadership of the ’Dunn Family’, the first family of the Great Mini Dynasty."
Winnie Romero revealed the ’origin’ of the Ice and Fire Building.
"First family of the Great Mini Dynasty?"
Upon hearing this, Wyatt Barnes was slightly shocked in his heart.
He naturally knew what ’first family of the Great Mini Dynasty’ symbolic of, representing the Dunn Family’s extremely high status in the Great Mini Dynasty, almost equivalent to the status of the Romero Clan in the Great Turdo Dynasty.
Even more so, because of the thriving martial arts in the Great Mini Dynasty, there might be a martial artist even more powerful than ’Taoi Romero’ in the Dunn Family.
Now, knowing the origin of the Ice and Fire Building and hearing that it is the most profitable business under the Dunn Family, Wyatt Barnes was once again shocked.
"Could there be some hidden reason?"
Wyatt Barnes thought to himself.
At this time, Winnie Romero laughed and said, "Brother Barnes, do you know that the drinks in the Ice and Fire Building are almost all sold at ’sky-high prices’. Even on this first floor, there are few martial artists below the Void Realm who can afford to consume it."
"Of course, although the ’Ice and Fire Building’ has limitations on the cultivation of its customers, if a martial artist below the Void Realm comes in with a martial artist above the Void Realm, it’s completely according to the rules of the Ice and Fire Building and won’t be driven away."
Winnie Romero finished speaking.
Wyatt Barnes nodded, and couldn’t help thinking, "Sky-high prices? Could it be that the drinks in the Ice and Fire Building are priced in ’original stones’?"
"Brother Barnes, let’s first go over there to get some ’top-grade original stones’."
Just then, Winnie Romero’s voice came, interrupting Wyatt Barnes’s train of thought.
"Mid-grade original stones?"
Coming back to his senses, Wyatt Barnes’ pupils contracted.
Following Winnie Romero, he came to a counter at the periphery of the first level of the Frost-Flame Tower.
"I would like to exchange for a hundred mid-grade original stones."
Winnie Romero crisply took out ten thousand low-grade original stones from her storage ring and said to the counter staff.
Just as Wyatt was wondering if this staff member would be able to take out so many mid-grade original stones, the latter quickly took out a hundred low-grade original stones without saying a word, "Customer, here are your original stones."
Meanwhile, the staff member efficiently collected the ten thousand low-grade stones, his movement smooth as if he had done this countless times.
"Winnie, you are ..."
Wyatt Barnes was somewhat astonished.
"Brother Barnes, before I came, I forgot to ask my father for original stones... can you lend me thirty thousand low-grade original stones?"
Winnie Romero said to Wyatt Barnes.
"You... You’re going to exchange more?"
Wyatt Barnes was somewhat speechless, but still, he decisively took out thirty thousand low-grade original stones and placed them on the counter.
At this moment, the staff member behind the counter showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, and his attitude towards Wyatt Barnes and Winnie Romero drastically changed.
Being able to bring out forty thousand low-grade original stones at once, and them being this young, the prestige of their identities could be assumed easily.
"Customers, here are three hundred mid-grade original stones for you to check."
The staff member slightly bowed to Wyatt Barnes and Winnie Romero.
Winnie Romero raised her hand to collect the three hundred mid-grade original stones, then turned to Wyatt Barnes with a smile, "Brother Barnes, let’s go."
Wyatt Barnes nodded somewhat disconcertedly, his thoughts once again drifting away.
Initially, he was surprised at being able to exchange for mid-grade original stones in the capital city of the Great Mini Dynasty. However, upon second thoughts, he came to the understanding.
The Great Mini Dynasty bordered the outside territory. Even if the Great Mini Dynasty didn’t control a mid-grade original stone mine, there would definitely be quite a few mid-grade original stones flowing in from that outside territory.
Thinking this way, none of this seemed strange.
Then, Wyatt Barnes became curious about Winnie swapping for mid-grade original stones.
He wondered if she was exchanging for these mid-grade stones to cultivate or to drink alcohol.
"Although, in some places in the outside territory, there are quite a few kinds of wine that cost several, and even several dozens of mid-grade original stones, some even cost several or several dozens of top-grade original stones... But that’s in the outside territory and those wines are special. They can either act as ’spiritual fruits’ to enhance the cultivation base of the drinker or deepen the drinker’s understanding of the realm."
Through the memories of the Martial Emperor, Wyatt Barnes had an in-depth understanding of the special liquors in the outside territory.
But, in this small Great Mini Dynasty, there is wine that needs to be purchased with mid-grade original stones?
This, Wyatt Barnes found hard to believe.
"Perhaps, it’s just some special wines that the Dunn Family are selling as ’rare fine wines’ to earn original stones..."
Wyatt Barnes thought silently, feeling that the Dunn family was indeed a black-hearted merchant family.
Too cruel!
After leaving the counter where they exchanged for mid-grade original stones, Wyatt Barnes and Winnie Romero walked shoulder to shoulder into the main hall, finally entering the first floor of the Frost-Flame Tower.
The first floor of the Frost-Flame Tower, being the widest out of all the nine floors, it could accommodate hundreds of people without feeling crowded.
When Wyatt Barnes walked in, he noticed that most of the tables were occupied. There were quite a few old and middle-aged individuals, along with a few young people.
Despite the martial arts culture promoting power in the capital of the Great Mini nation, there wouldn’t be too many young warriors who had broken through the Enter Void Realm.
At this time, these people were quietly savoring their wine, exchanged glances with each other, but didn’t speak, plainly they were using Origin Force to chat.
Therefore, although there were nearly two hundred people on the first floor of the Frost-Flame Tower, it appeared exceptionally quiet.
All that could be heard were occasional sounds of glasses clinking and being placed on tables.
"Winnie, could it be that there’s a rule in the Frost-Flame Tower that prevents you from speaking out loud?"
Witnessing so many people in such a quiet tavern, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but use his Origin Force to ask Winnie, filled with astonishment.
"No."
Winnie Romero shook her head and said, "There’s no rule in the Frost-Flame Tower that prohibits speaking... However, many people who come here don’t want their conversations to be heard by a third person, so they mostly communicate with Origin Force."
Wyatt Barnes suddenly smiled, "So that’s how it is, I thought besides prohibiting warriors below the Enter Void Realm from entering, the Frost-Flame Tower also stopped people from talking."
"How could that be possible?"
Winnie Romero couldn’t help but laugh.
The appearance of Wyatt Barnes and Winnie Romero didn’t attract much attention. However, their chatting and laughter in this quiet environment, the sound clearly traveled into the ears of everyone on the first floor of the Frost-Flame Tower.
