Morine found out from the shopkeeper that Evergreen Town expanded multiple times in the recent decades.
They were in the recently developed new town, and the original old town was just next to it, a wall separating the old town and the new town.
After the new town was built, many residences and families moved over gradually.
Nonetheless, the old town was not abandoned just because of that.
The homeless and unemployed used it as a shelter, and the unscrupulous traders also set their establishments there.
Illegal transactions were also conducted in the old town as no one was there to supervise them.
Thus, the old town slowly became a very messy place.
Was that place disorderly?
Not really.
After all, everyone had a set of established guidelines in that place.
Was that place a prosperous and peaceful place, where everyone respected each other?
Well, one would say they were blind if they described the old town that way.
After all, there would be unclaimed corpses in the old town’s ruins every day.
Moreover, all kinds of murder, robbery, and theft might happen at any time.
The place the shopkeeper mentioned Morine could purchase cheap blood essence was precisely at the old town’s ruins.
“The old town’s ruins might not be as safe as the new town, but don’t fret.
As long as you don’t walk in secluded alleys, nothing will happen to you.
After all, many business transactions are held there.
If they can’t guarantee safety, no one will be willing to go over.
If someone blocks their way of earning a profit, others will naturally take action and get rid of those unruly rascals.” The shopkeeper repeatedly vowed on the safety of the old town.
Seeing how Morine was still in doubt, the owner bit his lip.
Then, as if he decided on something important, he took out an item from his sleeve and quickly showed it to Moses.
After that, he hurriedly hid it back in his sleeve.
The shopkeeper’s movement might be fast for ordinary people, but for a warrior like Steven, the shopkeeper’s action was as slow as a snail.
At a glance, Morine could see that it was a bottle of blood essence, and its color was almost the same as the ones in the Oceans Chamber of Commerce.
He could feel that the blood essence’s vigor in this bottle was not as great as those sold in the Oceans Chamber of Commerce.
Then, the shopkeeper whispered, “You can still inquire about the old town’s situation from other people.
That’s fine.
To be frank, I’m only helping them find customers and get some commissions in return.
However, word-of-mouth and return customers are most important in this kind of matter.
Isn’t it?”
“Give me an address,” Morine replied calmly.
The shopkeeper was instantly thrilled and told Morine the old town’s address.
However, he was worried that Morine might not be able to remember it, so he once again whispered and emphasized twice, “That place is called St.
Jade Chamber.
On the surface, it looks like a place for martial artists to practice.
However, once you enter, you just need to tell the person who greeted you that Frederick introduced you, and he will know what to do.”
Morine nodded.
“Hmm.
Alright, I got it.
Since you’re so enthusiastic, and I indeed have the needs too, I’ll visit the place later.
But, I don’t have much money on me now.
This meal is costly.
How about this, why don’t you treat me to this meal?”
“You…” The shopkeeper did not expect that Morine was so shameless and suggested such a ridiculous request.
Moreover, Morine appeared so serious about it too.
In an instant, the shopkeeper was at a loss for words.
Morine burst out into laughter.
“I’m just joking.
Do I look like I’m a freeloader? How about five hundred fedulings?”
The shopkeeper‘s face was pale.
The delicate cuisine of Morine was expensive.
Even the cost of the monster meat was about 800 fedulings, and that was only the material cost.
