章 80: Chapter 80 The Mysterious Old Man

Liliya pushed open the door and entered the noisy tavern, frowning slightly. The loud din of the tavern, mixed with the smell of alcohol, tobacco, and sweat, made her somewhat uncomfortable.

"A Sapphire, please," Liliya said, smiling slightly.

"Sapphire?" The bartender chuckled. "Little girl, do you know the price of a Sapphire?"
