Volume 1 This World Chapter 85 The Tavern with a Heart
Before entering the tavern, the crane in the rain made different instructions, first asking Liu Yeshao and Lin Hebian to go back to the house first, and change their dress, although it didn't mean much, but it was somewhat effective, not to mention avoiding the eyes of the people with hearts, at least in the eyes of the heartless people, the two of them never appeared again.
The rain crane and Si Zhi entered the tavern first, and the two of them chatted with different people or bought directly to get Xu Jiayi's news. Because he and Si Zhi are people who participated in the last mission, they have more cognition and detailed guesses about the last unspeakable mission, and at the same time, this will also limit their thinking direction and angle from another angle, as well as the questions they raise when they go to find information.
In fact, the crane and the division in the rain have another task, which is to complete the things that were not completed the first time, and the willow leaf tree and the forest river are just auxiliary and smoke bombs. From a certain point of view, the tasks of Crane in the Rain and Si Zhi are more important, and finding Xu Jiayi is just a side quest by the way.
The role of Liu Yejiao and Lin Hebian is equivalent to a control group, asking more questions without a clue, which have nothing to do with the previous mission, but to focus more on missing persons and the situation of various families haunting the border, especially the situation of the Yu family.
Liu Yeshao didn't have any opinions, he agreed with such a decision, there was indeed no problem, the four of them were divided into two groups, and with the comparison, they could indeed get more valuable information.
Liu Yeshao and Lin Hebian returned to the residence first, indeed, the environment of the residence is quite very good, spacious and bright residence, a long table made of precious wood, a chair of just the right height and a comfortable bed, not long after entering the door, someone knocked on the door to bring fresh fruits and food, which is not particularly valuable, but it does give the character a feeling of value.
Although neither the willow leaf tops nor the forest riverside know what the price of enjoying these things is.
In the rain, Crane ordered a pot of grass wine on the bar of the tavern, which is a kind of liquor unique to the border area, and only the source grass that is rare here can make such a wine, and it tastes like some herbs, and the smell of medicine covers the smell of alcohol, and it makes people feel that it doesn't even feel like wine, like the juice of grass, and this thing is the most famous local specialty wine here.
"Brother, I'm very knowledgeable. A man wearing sackcloth clothes and the face of Beixiong came over and took the initiative to greet the crane in the rain, the crane in the rain was wearing a hood, he couldn't see his expression clearly, and the whole person looked very mysterious, but even so, there were people who took the initiative to greet him.
"Qingshan grass, the second-order source plant, only grows in the depths of the grassland area where the Great Xia and the Beixiong Kingdom meet, the grass is non-aggressive, good to grow, and has a fresh breath, which is an excellent choice for drinking and winemaking. Brother, you have a drink too. As he spoke, the crane in the rain shouted at the junior at the bar and gave him a cup.
"Connoisseur," the man took the wine handed by the bartender unceremoniously, took it and toasted himself first, and then said: "Good wine, good wine, my little Anton will never forget the taste of home." He looked at the crane in the rain and said this, which can be regarded as introducing his identity.
"You are Little Anton in Ember Evening City, and what about your brother Big Anton, you are famous!" Crane in the rain was a little surprised in his words, and there was a compliment in his words, but his expression was very natural, of course, under the hood, the Ember Evening City man named Anton in front of him looked down on his expression.
This man named Anton is one of the famous brothers and thieves in Ember Evening City, and the "thief without way" of Anton in Ember Evening City is world-famous, and the outside world does not know how many legends about their two brothers. Of course, little Anton is just his name on the road, in terms of stature, he is not small at all, and he does not look like a thief profession, but more like a robber or a bandit who robs the road.
How can such a person be a thief? He has no thief's temperament at all! Crane in the rain wondered in his heart, this was also the first time he had seen little Anton, and they all said that this Ember City was the most chaotic city in the border area, and there were countless dragons and snakes underground, but he didn't expect that such a "big man" with a head and face would come over and drink as soon as he sat down.
"Hahahaha, not worthy of the name, not worthy of the name! We are all regular business, the business is big, and it is right to be a little famous. Little Anton said, "I see Your Excellency's dress and accent, like a native of the northwest of the Great Xia Empire?" Little Anton's professionalism is very high, although he can see at a glance that the person in front of him is a secret agent, an assassin, a spy and the like, and he judged that he is most likely a person from the Sword Gate, there are many people here, so he didn't point it out, but just asked tentatively.
"Come in the desert, go in the desert, there is no gold or silver in the desert. The crane in the rain said thoughtlessly.
"What are you doing here?" asked little Anton again, with an almost affirmative answer.
"Looking for a person named Xu Jiayi, who was taken away here not long ago by someone from the Great Xia Empire's Yu family. The crane in the rain did not hesitate, and directly said his "purpose", which is true, this is his clear purpose.
The little Anton paused for a few seconds and didn't speak, the crane in the rain looked at him with a smile, then called the bartender, ordered another pot of Ember Evening Grass Wine, asked for two small bowls, put them on the table, and handed a small bowl to Little Anton, and said: "Dispel your thoughts, and share what you know, you can talk, I can pay for the wine, and if you meet in the land of the Great Xia Empire in the future, I can also spare your life, if you have a good chat tonight, maybe you can make a friend." ”
"By the way, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Crane in the Rain. Crane in the rain said, changing his voice back to its original appearance, and took the initiative to pull down his hood, revealing a handsome face.
When the crane in the rain said his intention, he was in front of the person in front of the mind reading, and then became almost everything he could take out of his mouth, the people of Beixiong are good wine, and the people who are good wine are the easiest to be read by the mind, although the mind of the person who is good at wine is muddy, and it is almost difficult to tell what he is thinking, but this kind of person is also better to find the content that he is trying to hide in his heart, and I hope that reading the mind can get twice the result with half the effort.
Little Anton is most often mixed in this underground world, in addition to performing his own "mission" outside, in his spare time in this heart tavern to buy drunk drinks, of course, for him, he is here to inquire about the news, there are many familiar faces here, but no one wants to drink with little Anton, many times, after drinking, the bag on the body disappears, and within the scope of the heart tavern, there is no fighting, and every tavern is regarded as an insurmountable rule.
So stealing has become the most valuable thing, of course, as far as Ember Evening City is concerned, everyone knows the strength of the thief brother and thief, and can distinguish their faces and voices, but people outside the city don't know, and the people who come to Ember Evening City have a heart tavern, and most of the things they do are not visible, if they lose something here, they can only guard the gate and wait, but who is Anton? It is a native of Ember Evening City, who grew up as a thief, and no one knows better than them in the underground world and the above-ground world of Ember Evening City.
Even if Anton, big and small, drank in the Heart Tavern in Ember Evening City for three days, no enemy could successfully catch them, not a single success!
That's what they're made of.
But the strength and reputation of the rain crane is also outside, little Anton just heard the rain crane self-introduction, his heart became happy, earlier, he stole the body of the Yu family, that person drank and bought drunk here, the chest was not angry, so the bag on the waist was easily taken away, it is also a coincidence, the bag on the belt is not valuable, what is valuable is the content inside.
"I can read minds, you know?" The reputation of the rain crane is also spread outside the Shinto Tao, there are not many young people at this level, so they are all famous, plus the special identity of the rain crane, although the "Yu family outcast" is not known, but the strength of the "rain world", as well as the underground world, the news of the Yu family's search for the rain crane can't help but make people talk about it.
In addition, the information obtained from the bag of tricks stolen in Xiao Anton's hand is even more valuable, Xiao Anton cares more about the value of this information than his brother, in his eyes, everything has its value, and his brother prefers the source treasure, or the elixir, this kind of cultivation road is indispensable or lacking, in his eyes, these messy information in his eyes is far less valuable than the information of the theft target.
Little Anton thought about it, took the initiative to pick up the wine jug, and smiled on his face, this Beixiong people are very serious when they don't laugh, but when they laugh, they do have that feeling like a spring breeze, and the whole person has changed from rigorous and serious, meticulous, to warm and gentle, two-sided spring breeze.
"Rain... Ahem, Brother He, please drink, drink!" said little Anton and poured him a full wine.
"It's good to have a crane in the rain. I don't mind the surname of the Yu family. The crane in the rain knew Little Anton's thoughts, "I only mind that you delay time, although I have already eaten the little Jiujiu in your heart, but so what, I still want to drink and talk with His Excellency Anton." ”
Little Anton smiled awkwardly, sat up straight, leaned forward slightly with his upper body, and said, "Young Master Yu, I know that you people in the Great Xia Kingdom call virtuous people like this, and I also call you like this, do you think it's okay?" He picked up the small bowl and drank it all, and after drinking, he remembered that he didn't signal a toast, so he held the empty bowl and smiled embarrassedly.
The crane in the rain didn't mind this person's arrogance, but motioned for him to continue, and he picked up the bowl and drank it all.
He knows how to deal with this kind of person, and he also knows that what he reads with his mind reading technique is read after all, and those contents are disorganized in the heart of the person being spelled, and there are no logical fragments of things, only when he is willing to tell it, he will save a lot of things, and the truth of the real content will be closer and clearer.
The two of them drank for two hours with a pot of wine, and at this time, Si Zhi had completed his information acquisition and returned to the residence, Liu Yeshao and Lin Hebian had already arrived at the tavern, and each "made" friends in this underground world, the two of them came to the underground world for the first time, in this huge underground world, everyone and dogs don't know these two faces, and the lone ranger in the underground world likes to make friends with this kind of face.
Liu Yeshao is okay, sitting at a man's table, it can be regarded as talking and laughing, and Lin Hebian is interesting, there is a woman sitting in front of him, and the woman is the person who happened to be seen on the road when he entered Ember Evening City, which made Lin Hebian's eyes straight.
