Chapter 121: The Exquisite "Girl"
The soldiers patrolling nearby noticed the soldier Lore, who was besieged by several black hounds, and they became vigilant, dispersing the attracted spectators while struggling to drive away the ferocious hounds with their iron sword shields.
The strange thing is that the teeth of several hounds are particularly sharp and slender, as if they have replaced the tusks of the saber-toothed tigers, and several large hounds, after seeing the officers and soldiers who have gathered around, immediately gave up biting the already frightened Lohr, and they jumped up nimbly, and lined up neatly to confront the soldiers.
"Help me, save me!" Soldier Lore crawled towards the patrolling soldier as if he had seen a savior.
It wasn't until the "Joker Band" completely disappeared around the corner of the long street that several hounds in the middle of the road fled into the crowd, and no one knew where they came from or where they had gone.
The bustling commercial district of Xinlan City has erected exquisite lantern flags on both sides of the street, and the lion pattern outlined by ink lines and the ingenious bamboo bone lanterns are typical products of the interweaving of Eastern and Western cultures, and the Josephs Empire flag hanging on the diamond-shaped lanterns flutters high, majestic and gorgeous.
Hand-carved griffin glass lamps, cupid's angel lamps made of black crystals, exotic neon lanterns and other countless lanterns have been laid from the Queen's Park in the business district to the King's Park in the administrative district, and the majestic "Light Street" has attracted countless foreign envoys and merchants to stop and watch, which shows the abundant financial and material resources of the Joses Empire.
The whole city is immersed in a sea of lanterns and laughter, and animal circuses, musical choirs, and magnificent foreign horse teams from all over the country set up camp in open areas, among which even witches who use tortoise shells and feathers for divination are buried in small sheepskin tents, and the outside of the felt is filled with all kinds of bottles and cans for sale.
The iconic building in Xinlan City, the Imperial Arena, has long been surrounded by water, the original dense colorful flags have been replaced by dazzling lanterns that can arouse the desire of the audience, many curious foreigners mingle in the crowd in order to witness the blood-pumping duel scene, and the Imperial Arena is also specially arranged with a variety of fighting performances, the exciting bloody scene will continue until late at night with the cheers.
As the most prosperous existence in the business district of the imperial capital, the traffic of the Fraorl Bar has naturally reached the highest peak in recent days, the brown-skinned congregants with white turbans are foreigners from the island country of Pole, the bald man with a naked upper body but wearing an extremely bright pleated skirt is from the tropical Togolese rainforest country, and the few drinkers who are all dressed in black robes and only show a pair of eyes are the Eskimos whose territory borders the southernmost part of the Josephs Empire, these little-known small countries are all vassal states of the Joses Empireγ
A few hours ago, Al was busy among all kinds of guests, lamenting that he had never seen so many strangely dressed gentiles when he was so old, and a few hours later he was already sitting in the dressing room chair with a sad face, surrounded by the big sisters of a dozen or so girls, of course he was also forced, but fortunately there was an even more reluctant companion next to him.
"Our Xiao Ai and Li are really good, they have already gained a few loyal female fans just a few days after coming to work in the bar, and the popularity is about to catch up with our girls, we all have to have a sense of crisis, maybe one day Mr. Moby Dick will recruit Xiao Ai and Li into our 'girl group' as soon as he is happy." β
A woman with an elegant demeanor and a beautiful face looked at the two people with a somewhat unnatural expression in the mirror, and couldn't help but smile, as if the breeze was passing through, and the whole dressing room became brighter.
"Sister Linda, if Mr. Moby really intends to recruit Xiao Ai and Li into our 'girl group', you have to remember to inform me in advance, I want to put on my most beautiful dress, after all, it is a matter of celebration to have two more attractive 'sisters' for no reason. β
A girl dressed in a light green outfit said with a grin, revealing a strange smell between her words.
Hearing the slightly ridiculous words of the girl in green, all the girls hid their faces and chuckled, like thousands of pink peach blossoms blooming on the branches, and the room was filled with a charming fragrance.
"Sisters, don't make fun of us," Al said with a wry smile, "You must have colluded with Mr. Moby Dick to fix us." β
"Xiao Ai, you're wrong," a cute girl with a ponytail was carefully reshaping Al's eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil, "It's not that you and Lee have been so popular lately that a few aristocratic wives in the business district have to run to the VIP section of Fraor's bar every night, like nymphomaniacs." β
"I think it may be that those rich women have been alone in the empty house for too long, and we need to find a handsome guy like our Xiao Ai and Li who looks like a mixed Chinese and Western feeling to regain the feeling of first love. Another innocent girl who was helping Li Shiyi and Al choose clothes from a wide variety of outfits interjected.
"What do they like about us?
Al was almost crying, knowing that such a dramatic thing was going to happen, maybe he shouldn't have helped the female drinkers that night.
Late one night a few days ago, after sending off the last group of drinkers at Fraor's Bar, the time had come to two o'clock in the morning, and Al and Li Shiyi were about to finish their busy day's work and take advantage of the convenience of insiders to sneak into a few rooms that might have unexpected gains in the middle of the night, when the main entrance of Fraor's Bar was pushed open by three women who were chatting and laughing.
The three women, about thirty years old, well-dressed and elegantly talked, turned out to be looking for a place to spend the boring late night after a day of shopping, and the only place left on both sides of the long street was the Flaor's Bar that was still open late at night.
Unfortunately, most of the service staff have already left the bar and gone home, and there are only a few waiters left in the lobby on the first floor of the huge bar, such as the front desk staff, Al and Li Shiyi, and so on.
From two o'clock in the morning to three o'clock in the morning, the three women had been trying their best to take the initiative to talk to Li Shiyi and Al before leaving, and I have to say that the "groomed face" provided by the Technical Department of the Imperial Military Academy was a little too handsome, so it also aroused the women's interest in Al and Li Shiyi.
I thought it was just a sparse and ordinary encounter, but the next night, the three women came to the Fraor's bar early, and they generously booked a box in the VIP area on the second floor, and asked Moby Dick to ask Li Shiyi and Al to provide them with services, for which they were willing to pay more.
There was nothing to refuse, Moby Dick immediately agreed to the requests of the three women, so Al and Li Shiyi became their "exclusive waiters", accompanying several women throughout the whole process to talk about the love story of the green period.
Li Shiyi is still the same, he is not smiling from beginning to end, and he looks like he rejects people thousands of miles away, maybe the favorite of the three women when they were girls is this kind of cool boy, which suddenly aroused their hearts that have been sealed for many years, Al's reaction is relatively natural, he always answers the questions of the three women with a smile and politeness, so in their hearts, Al's image is exactly the opposite of Li Shiyi's sunny and warm man.
As the saying goes, no book is written without coincidence, two handsome and dashing boys, one cold and one hot, successfully tied the three women firmly to the Fraorl Bar, and also planted a cash cow here, the high consumption of the three women every night successfully attracted the attention of Moby Dick, so he specially told Al and Li Shiyi that unless the bar business is particularly hot, the two of them should not use the first floor to help, just take care of the three cash cows upstairs.
To this day, Al remembers what Moby Dick said to him.
"Everyone has a wall in their hearts, whether it is a man or a woman, they like to isolate their hearts from the outside world on weekdays, but the more things they have, the less happiness they will have, what we have to do is to dig a hole in this wall, so that they can take off their heavy disguise and face the world positively and optimistically, at least let customers feel that they are happy in the 'Fraor' bar, so that our goal has been achieved. β
"Just talking to them, just like the other girls in the bar, don't think too much, anything excessive will not happen and will not be allowed to happen. β
Although Moby Dick's words of relief made Al let go of some psychological burden, the strange feeling has always been difficult for Al to accept, not to mention Li Shiyi, Al can feel that if it weren't for the successful completion of this hidden mission, the anger that might have been suppressed in Li Shiyi's heart would have already erupted.
"Ai, I've always wanted to tell you something, but I don't always have time," said a girl who was tying a pink bow for Al, with sincere eyes in her eyes, "Thank you for keeping that girl." β
"Hmm, sister, what do you mean?" asked Al with a sideways face, not understanding what the girl meant.
"It's the girl you rescued that night behind the Fraor's bar, Mr. Moby Dick has granted her permission to be a member of the 'Girls Troupe', all thanks to your help, I can't imagine how she would have escaped from the clutches of those officers and soldiers without you. β
"It's okay, it's just a gesture..."Al scratched his head embarrassedly, and was about to continue to say something but his voice stopped abruptly, and then Al looked down at the girl as if his whole body had been struck by electricity, but he couldn't see her face close at hand.
"Wait! Could it be that the girl told someone else everything that happened that night, and that might be a problem..."
Not only Al, but also cast a sharp gaze at the girl, as well as Li Shiyi, who had never spoken.
