My cousin is becoming a legend.

Chapter 24 White Horse Tavern

Lynn was overwhelmed with emotions, but ultimately chose not to lash out.

He was nothing more than a fallen manor owner.

And now he has become a superhuman.

The two are no longer on the same level.

Moreover, letting my second uncle know about my current situation would only bring more trouble and complications.

This is exactly what Lynn didn't want to see.

"There's nothing to talk about between us."

Lynn gave him a cold look, then turned and left.

Grand watched Lynn's retreating figure without showing any emotion.

If he hadn't been so surprised that his poor nephew was staying in the city at night, he probably wouldn't have called him.

After all, he was also guilty about what happened back then.

"What, is he your illegitimate child?"

The young woman next to Grand pursed her lips, her eyes filled with wariness and dissatisfaction.

Grande then snapped out of his reverie, clapping his hands and proclaiming that he had been wronged.

"My darling, you're my only mistress, where would I get such an illegitimate child from! That man just now really was my nephew!"

After some explanation and affection from Grand, the woman was satisfied and no longer doubted him.

She complained, "I'd better stay away from your poor relatives in the future. Not only will they ask you for money, but what if they tell your husband about our situation?"

Grande quickly agreed.

"Alright, alright, don't be angry. I'll take you to the White Horse Tavern tonight, okay?"

Upon hearing that it was the White Horse Tavern, the best place in Nareel to squander money, the woman coquettishly nestled into Grand's arms.

"That's more like it~"

......

Lynn walked through the dilapidated and dirty streets.

Across from him was the most luxurious tavern in all of Nareel, the White Horse Tavern.

The White Horse Tavern, funded by Baron Narell, is in no way inferior to the entertainment venues in the kingdom's interior, despite its remote location.

Casinos, orchestras, theater troupes, fine wines and gourmet food, ladies and servants—you name it, this place has it.

Of course, the price is also extremely high.

The entrance fee alone costs one silver nis.

Just as Lynn was about to step inside, she was stopped by the security guard at the entrance.

A hunchbacked man with yellow teeth smiled at Lynn.

"Sir, I suppose you're here for Ms. Violet's performance tonight? Oh dear, you're in such a hurry, how could you forget about the admission fee?"

The hunchbacked man smiled at Lynn and rubbed his fingers together.

"The entrance fee is one silver nis. Of course, it would be our honor if you would be more generous, sir."

Lynn was unaware of this rule.

He took a silver dollar out of his pocket before it was put inside.

Upon opening the door, one is greeted by a long, deep red cashmere carpet.

The interior was brightly lit, and the glass chandeliers were resplendent with gold.

The sounds of a woman's soft moans, the beautiful ensemble music of the orchestra, and the furious shouts of someone who had lost money, all mixed with the heavy scent of perfume, wafted through the air.

Lynn frowned instinctively.

Whether in his past life or this one, he disliked this kind of place.

Damn you, Night Fox, why did you choose to meet me in such a crowded and chaotic place?

The White Horse Tavern has five floors, and each floor is incredibly large.

Lynn was racking her brains trying to figure out where to find Night Fox.

A scantily clad, curvaceous blonde woman grabbed him and pulled him close.

Lynn instinctively dodged to the side.

The woman missed her target.

She was somewhat at a loss.

Lynn was also a little embarrassed.

She turned out to be a hostess.

Being overly cautious only makes one stand out.

But could this woman be Night Fox?

Lynn tentatively asked, "An elegant style?"

The blonde woman looked a little confused, but quickly realized what was happening.

This time, she didn't make any physical contact. Instead, she bent over and lowered her chest, putting on a standard business smile.

"An elegant air? Sir, you've come for the opera performance by the bard Violet Fox tonight, haven't you? The performance is still a while away, but there's an auction about to take place at the venue. If you're interested, I can take you there. Of course, I can also have some drinks with you, or... perhaps we can play some fun games~"

The blonde woman's eyes had a seductive look.

Lynn's spirits lifted.

It wasn't because of the lady's invitation, but rather the code word "elegance."

It turns out to be the name of a traditional Chinese opera.

It seems Night Fox intends for him to watch the show?

"I'm not interested in any other projects. Just take me to the venue now, I'll wait there," Lynn said.

The blonde woman was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this.

He didn't even order drinks; what a stingy guy.

After bringing Lynn to the performance venue, she hurriedly left to find her next prey.

Upon entering the venue, Lynn chose a seat in a corner at the back.

This is a circular theater, divided into two levels.

The lower section has regular seating, while the upper section has private rooms.

On stage, staff were busy moving things, seemingly preparing for the upcoming auction.

Lynn was quite interested in this.

He had never attended an auction before.

Having been poor for two lifetimes, he had only ever heard of auctions in novels and movies.

After a while, the venue gradually filled with customers.

The seating area lights dimmed, leaving only the stage lights still bright.

A woman with a straight posture walked up.

She had blonde hair and dressed sexily, revealing just the right amount of skin.

It fully showcases the charm of women.

"Welcome, everyone, to the White Horse Tavern's evening auction. I am your host, Phoebe, and I will now be in charge of tonight's auction."

One by one, the auction items were brought to the stage.

Lynn wasn't interested in those things.

One reason is that most of these are luxury goods with no real value.

Secondly, he had no money.

The alchemist's salary hasn't been paid yet.

He only has a little over a hundred silver dollars left in his pocket.

He's really poor.

Lynn was getting sleepy.

It wasn't until the description of one of the auction items that he perked up.

The host, Phoebe, opened an exquisite mahogany box and introduced it with a smile:

"Ladies and gentlemen, as you all know, war has recently broken out on the front lines. This tavern is of course saddened and proud of the soldiers who have died or been wounded on the front lines, but at the same time, a batch of Siernus's spoils of war has also entered the market."

Next up is a Tier 1, 1-star alchemical potion, the Vigorous Tree Heart Potion. It can restore your body to its optimal state within a day, allowing you to regain a youthful body without any side effects. Starting bid: 100 silver nis.

Additionally, please note that all items in tonight's auction have been verified by church priests; please feel free to purchase.

As soon as Phoebe finished speaking, bids began to pour in.

"110 Silver Nethers!"

"120 Silver Nethers!"

"I'll bid 200 silver Nethers!"

The price of the medicine is soaring.

In countries where alchemy is forbidden, such legal contraband naturally commands a high price.

Not to mention, this drug has a tremendous attraction for men.

Prices have continued to rise.

But Lynn was pondering a question at that moment.

Can he put his alchemical potions here to sell?

Lynn decided to test the waters later.
