Xiao Chen was a little confused. 'Why are they placing so much importance on this sea region? What exactly are they up to?'
'Could it be because a member of the Sea Race snuck in and was discovered?'
'Hmm, that's not impossible!'
Of course, he didn't just stand there guessing wildly. He decided to find someone nearby and ask about the situation.
He soon spotted a tavern on the nearest small island.
"Bring me a pot of your best Spirit Wine!"
Striding through the door, Xiao Chen didn't even look for a seat before announcing, "And another thing, add a pot of fine wine to every table here. Put it all on my tab."
Only then did he tell the waiter at the door, "Also, find me a private room, a quiet one."
Before long, the tavern's Shopkeeper personally brought over the Spirit Wine.
Xiao Chen took the opportunity to pull the Shopkeeper aside and ask, "Sigh, I was planning to head north for a look, but then I ran into this sudden sea blockade."
