Dai Fei was slightly taken aback, not expecting Luo Chen to ask such a question.
After a moment of stunned silence, Dai Fei turned around and walked directly to the wardrobe, which then slowly opened.
A long passage appeared directly in front of Luo Chen.
Luo Chen walked down, with Dai Fei leading the way.
On the table is a long map.
The location of the Solomon Islands embassy is marked above.
"I've received word that Ambassador Sommer, also known as Ellen, frequently hosts banquets. I need you to help me find some things. In exchange, I'll help you get in, and then you can do whatever you want inside!"
After saying that, Luo Chen smiled calmly: "If it were that simple, I wouldn't need your help!"
"What do you want?"
Dai Fei suddenly felt that this dragon descendant had a kind of rogue-like quality.
Luo Chen smiled calmly: "Alright, I have a magic potion here. If you drink it, you will either live or die! So whether you live or die is entirely up to you to decide?"
Dai Fei snorted coldly: "So what if I die? Who's afraid of who!"
Without saying a word, he quickly snatched the medicine from Luo Chen's hand and drank it down in one gulp. Luo Chen smiled maliciously.
At the same time, Luo Chen turned his head and walked out the door.
"Alright, whatever method you have, please continue!"
Dai Fei was worried that what Luo Chen had just given her to drink was bad.
But there was nothing he could do at the moment, so he had to pull Luo Chen aside and then tell her his plan.
It turns out that in Lonely City, there is a bar called the Blinking Rat, and the person who can help Luo Chen is in this bar.
Before Dai Fei could finish speaking, Luo Chen rushed out.
Do you know how to find him?
As they shook hands, Luo Chen stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at Dai Fei in front of him.
"Tell me quickly, how should I find him?"
"Ma Bowen, he looks just like an old stable boy, and you can communicate with him using code words!"
What are code words?
"Drink a cup of bitter wine, and if you hear this, you will never regret venturing into the dragon's den, then you have found your nemesis!"
No wonder they've been so persistent in their desire to slay the dragon.
Luo Chen gave a wry smile, left Riverwood Town, and spent some time on the road before arriving in Lonely City.
Before they even entered the bar, a man dressed as a stable boy came out and gently nudged Luo Chen.
"Help me deal with those two behind me, they're trying to kill me!"
Luo Chen thought to himself, "This is a piece of cake!"
Before they had taken two steps, Ma Bowen grabbed Luo Chen.
"Don't kill anyone here!"
"Understood," Luo Chen replied softly, then turned around. Four more people came out from behind him.
The leader was a tiger-man, and it seemed that they were the root cause of the world's turmoil.
"Ma Bowen, you're not just going to let the money you owe us go, are you?"
As he spoke, the tiger-man in the lead raised his fist, seemingly about to strike, but Luo Chen grabbed his wrist.
"Let him go quickly!"
The tiger-men behind him shouted "Good!" and Luo Chen released his hand.
"It's just a little money I owe you, it's not that big of a deal!"
Luo Chen spoke softly, and the leading tiger-man, upon hearing this, knew that Luo Chen was a wealthy man. It was rare to encounter a rich man, and he wouldn't show such mercy.
"Listen up, Ma Bowen owes us brothers five hundred gold coins. You either pay up, or we'll take him away!"
Upon hearing about the five hundred gold coins, Ma Bowen rushed forward excitedly.
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's clearly not worth that much money!"
The tiger-man laughed: "It's true that you, 170, owed us two hundred gold coins, but so much time has passed, and our brothers need to eat too, so please understand!"
Ma Bowen was so angry that he wanted to rush up and fight with him, but luckily Luo Chen was there. Luo Chen quickly ran up and pulled him down.
At that moment, several imperial soldiers patted their short swords.
It wasn't that Luo Chen was afraid of them, but rather that he hadn't yet been able to make a move at this time.
"How about this, five hundred gold coins it is!"
After saying that, Luo Chen threw the gold coins in his hand over.
Having received the money, the tiger-men left satisfied. After saying a word of thanks, Ma Bowen led Luo Chen out of the city and directly to a small courtyard.
Here, surrounded by cows and horses, a child is happily playing with the chickens in front of him.
The woman cursed at him a couple of times, and the child walked into the room with a displeased look on his face.
"This is my wife, and that little brat is my child. The rest is all up to me!"
After saying this, Ma Bowen took all of Luo Chen's weapons and handed him a set of servant's clothes.
After Luo Chen took the clothes, she turned her head away.
He soon took off his mage set.
Having changed his clothes, Ma Bowen was ready early on.
"First of all, I want to thank you for everything you've done for me!"
Dai Fei caught up at this moment and handed an invitation to Luo Chen.
"But this outfit doesn't seem to suit you very well!"
After saying this, he handed a set of rich people's clothes to Luo Chen.
"Don't worry, when the banquet is almost over, you can find Ma Bowen behind the kitchen, and he will hand over your equipment to you!"
After speaking, Dai Fei walked away coldly. For some reason, she always felt uneasy standing near Luo Chen.
It felt like I was standing next to him, and I had a sense of belonging.
Since Luo Chen was now playing the role of a wealthy merchant, he naturally couldn't just run over there casually. Ma Bowen knocked on his shabby carriage and came to Luo Chen's side.
"Please, my esteemed master!"
Luo Chen boarded the carriage, which moved very slowly, which was intentionally done by Ma Bowen.
Firstly, it was to ensure that everyone along the way knew Luo Chen's identity.
Secondly, it's also to save face for himself. To be honest, he hasn't had a good life at all these years.
The carriage soon stopped in front of the gate, and several people dressed in black came out of the Somo Embassy, trying to block Luo Chen's advance.
"Sir, I'm sorry, we only serve VIPs here!"
Luo Chen smiled and said, "If I can't produce an invitation, you'll kick me out immediately, won't you?"
The ambassador smiled but remained silent, lest he fall into Luo Chen's trap.
Luo Chen naturally had an invitation on him and handed it to the ambassador in front of him.
After looking at it, he was still not entirely convinced, so he handed the invitation to the person behind him. After repeated verification, he finally confirmed Luo Chen's identity.
"Excuse me, this is security procedure. Please don't take offense, Mr. Luo. Please come inside!"
Luo Chen straightened his chest and walked inside.
Ma Bowen went around to the back door. Almost everyone there knew him, so there were no obstacles. He not only brought himself in, but also brought all the items from the carriage inside.
After entering the banquet hall, Ailinwen came over and blocked Luochen at the door.
"Hello, I'm Erin Win!"
Luo Chen extended his hand, but seeing that Ai Linwen didn't seem inclined to reach out, Luo Chen simply lowered his hand.
"Hello, I'm Luo Chen, nice to meet you!"
"Everyone here today is extraordinary. I'm also very happy to meet you. I hope you enjoy yourself!"
"You love Lin Wen. I've heard a lot about you, and it's an honor to know you!"
Ailinwen seemed very impatient, so she simply left.
Luo Chen was too lazy to say anything more to this kind of person, so she went to Ma Bowen instead.
Ma Bowen looked somewhat nervous: "You've come to me now, isn't it just not the right time? If you could make some 'fuss' here, everything would go much more smoothly!"
After he finished speaking, Ma Bowen placed a glass of brandy in front of Luo Chen.
Luo Chen turned around and found a homeless man nearby. Although he didn't know how the man had gotten in, Luo Chen realized that this might be a good opportunity.
So he took his brandy and walked up to the drunkard.
"Hello there!"
The man next to her hadn't noticed Luo Chen at first. If Luo Chen hadn't continued talking, he wouldn't have noticed either, and he also greeted Luo Chen.
"Hello, my name is Rieslan!"
"My name is Luo Chen. What are you doing here?"
Rieslan glanced calmly at Luo Chen, then said to him, "It would be great if you could buy me a drink. I don't have many hobbies, but I love drinking. Wherever there's alcohol, I can always find a way to sneak in!"
After speaking, Luo Chen neatly handed his brandy to the person in front of him.
After drinking it, Rieslan said, "You're such a kind person. I haven't had such good wine in a long time!"
Luo Chen pointed around and said, "If it's possible, could you do me a favor?"
Upon hearing Luo Chen's question, he immediately stood up.
"I guessed it, you're planning to do something bad, but I can accept it, as long as you can guarantee me some alcohol to drink in the days to come, that's fine!"
Luo Chen readily handed over fifty gold coins to him.
"This money is yours. I hope we can have a pleasant working relationship!"
Rieslan replied with an "okay" and then walked directly in front of everyone.
"Hey, did any of you see Airen? I bet none of you saw her in bed, right?"
As Rieslan spoke, he became even happier, and the audience listened with even greater delight.
As they were talking, Ai Linwen came out, which clearly angered everyone.
Luo Chen walked up to a merchant.
"That maid seems to have a thing for you!"
Considering that both of them were wealthy businessmen, the businessman then struck up a conversation with Luo Chen: "If that's the case, that would be wonderful. Look at her figure, it's so beautiful!"
Luo Chen handed a necklace to the merchant.
"Look, I don't think any beautiful woman could resist temptation!"
After saying that, Luo Chen walked away.
In order to avoid being lonely tonight, the merchant relentlessly harassed the maid with all his might.
Before long, the two started arguing.
Luo Chen returned to Ma Bowen's side, and Ma Bowen couldn't help but give Luo Chen a thumbs up.
"I never expected you to be so resourceful!"
"Thank you for the compliment, but shouldn't we get down to business now?"
Ma Bowen glanced ahead and, with Luo Chen in tow, walked through the wooden door behind him into the passageway.
Luo Chen followed him into the kitchen, where a chef was watching Luo Chen.
