Chapter 100: Interviews

The endless blue sea meets the endless blue sky, and blue seems to be the only color between heaven and earth.

Douglas drove a miniature steamboat to split snow-white waves, dozens of flying fish followed the steamboat, and the silver-white fish body cruised in the blue sun, like a shuttle.

The "dark clouds and road" in the distance are still dark clouds, lightning and thunder, there is no sign of quieting, it is like a huge black curtain across the sky above the blue sea, it can be expected that under this curtain there must be turbid waves, thunder and thunder.

However, in the middle of the "Dark Cloud Road" there is a strange sea area, where the sky is clear all year round and there is never a storm raging, known as the "land of God's gift", as its name suggests, this round sea has an ancient legend.

It is said that in order to escape the hustle and bustle of the world, the gods deliberately carved out a quiet sea area in this stormy and dark cloud land to facilitate their rest, and in the middle of this sea there is an island called the Island of Nothing.

There is a large restaurant on the island, the Sea Restaurant, which caters to passing ships, where navigators can either replenish their supplies and dock for a while the "dark clouds" clear.

And the island of the sky is the destination of Douglas's trip.

Grabbing a piece of air-dried yak meat from a plate on the workbench and tossing it into his mouth, Douglas chewed it heavily, oblivious to the approaching dark clouds.

"It's been a long time at sea, and it's been a lot of trouble," Douglas finally lit his damp pipe, and through the porthole he could already feel the oppression of the shop, "It's been a long time since I've been so excited, and I'm really nostalgic." ”

As the sky darkened, thick lightning and a piercing roar sounded like the furious god-king Zeus frantically pouring his fury into the sea.

"It would be nice if that guy Nolan was here, so I could sleep in the recliner in peace," Douglas sighed, "I can't help it, I'll have to rely on myself." ”

As he spoke, Douglas released the lever of the steamboat and moved his body, and the sound of bones colliding sounded.

"I just don't know if this little boat can withstand it," Douglas said, looking around the wheelhouse with some concern, "I don't want you to be intact, as long as it doesn't fall apart." ”

In the rough sea, the sound of the engine was still strong and powerful, and it seemed that the captain did not skimp and lent Douglas one of the best steamboats.

Under the influence of thunderstorms and magnetic fields, the compass on the operator's station began to spin wildly, and a red signal light lit up the bow of the steamboat up and down, adding a touch of tension to this oppressive and dangerous environment.

Douglas looked at the monstrous waves with a grim face, the lightning of his teeth and claws continued to illuminate the black rain in the sky, and the violent raindrops poured down from the sky and smashed on the steamboat, and the tiny steamboat fluttered like a light feather in the wind in the boundless black rain.

A wisp of smoke erupted from the corner of Douglas's mouth, and his eyes instantly sharpened.

At the same time, his two fists were quickly wrapped in a dark gray line, and a powerful sense of oppression exploded from the wheelhouse, and even the specially reinforced portholes vibrated violently, and all sea creatures within a hundred meters of the hull were stunned by this momentum.

The steely hue slowly spread from the wheelhouse to the entire hull, and almost all the parts on the steamboat were shaking rapidly, and it seemed that the steamboat might have been shattered by Douglas's momentum before entering the "dark cloud road".

"Looks like I'm overestimating your strength. ”

Under Douglas's control, the color of the steel gradually faded, and the hull of the ship finally stopped shaking, but stabilized.

Turning the acceleration gear to the highest level, Douglas turned on the high beams on both sides of the steamboat, and the speedboat immediately broke through the huge waves several meters high like an arrow from the string and rushed towards the "dark cloud road".

The apocalyptic sight swallowed the steamboat in one fell swoop, and a large blue whale rose from beneath the surface of the sea where the steamboat passed.

In the distance, several killer whales spotted the fainting prey and immediately swam over excitedly.

In the early morning, the streets of Xinlan City are full of people, and with the influx of a large number of foreign tourists, Xinlan City gradually has a festive atmosphere, and large and small shops and administrative places have been installed with different forms of lanterns.

In order to strengthen the security of the "Wanbang Lantern Festival" in the early stage, the number of imperial patrol soldiers on the streets of Xinlan City was significantly greater than before, and it was not uncommon for travelers who behaved inappropriately to be fenced down for interrogation.

On a street in the business district, two men in wide trench coats appear out of place with the pedestrians around them, wearing sunglasses and yar-caps to cover themselves tightly despite the hot weather, and their strange behavior occasionally attracts the sideways of passers-by.

"Senior brother, isn't it a bit too high-profile for the two of us to do this?" Al pretended to cough, but asked his companion in a low voice.

Freya said that dressing up like a high person makes it easier to fit in with the upper class. Li Shi said as he walked, and he didn't even care about his face that was already stuffy and red.

"But do you think we really look like high-class people?" Al pulled the neckline, which was already soaked, "This ragged dress is not only expensive to death, but also not breathable, I really don't know what Freya-senpai thinks, maybe it was deliberately manipulating us." ”

The two stopped at the same time and looked at each other, both sensing a hint of conspiracy in each other's expressions.

Thinking of Freya's bad expression after dressing up the two, Al couldn't help but go crazy.

"It's over, it's been tricked!"

A few minutes later, the two took off their trench coats and traveled lightly, and soon arrived outside the bar of "Fraor", which looked a little elegant during the day, like a girl with light makeup, without the glitz and charm of the night.

The sign at the entrance is plastered with a sign to recruit waiters, and from the outside, the bar is a little deserted by the crowd of drinkers, after all, the best time for the bar is the evening, so basically no one comes here to consume now.

As soon as I entered the bar, the waiter at the front desk immediately noticed two unfamiliar new faces and immediately greeted them with a smile.

"Two gentlemen, please, do you need something to drink?" the female waiter in the slim uniform smiled sweetly, and it would be easy for ordinary people to fall into it.

The well-organized bar furnishings and the courteous waiters tell at a glance that the managers here are certainly not ordinary people.

"I'm sorry, we're not here to play," Al followed Freya's instructions, trying to behave as gentlemanly as possible, "We only came in when we saw the waiter job posting at the bar entrance, and if it's convenient, we'd like to know some of your bar's hiring conditions." ”

"I'm sorry, it turns out that the two of you are here to apply, please forgive me for being disrespectful just now. The waitress smiled apologetically, and at the same time looked at the two of them slightly from the corner of her eye.

The two young men were unusually handsome, one of them seemed to have a rather cold temperament, the other was more easy-going, both of them had hard facial contours, typical Western looks, I had not seen these two strangers in my memory, it seemed that they should be the first time to visit the "Fraor" bar.

In a matter of seconds, the waitresses have come to the conclusion that they have a knack for almost memorizing, and only in this way can they accurately distinguish between regular and new customers in the bar, and immediately remember the identity of the guests as soon as they step into the bar, making them feel at home.

Sensing the waitress's bone-cutting eyes, albeit only for a moment, Al's heartbeat was already speeding up suddenly, because he immediately recognized the woman he had accosted, this person was the same waitress who brought him orange juice when he first came to the "Fraor" bar.

"Two gentlemen, please come with me, our lobby manager is interviewing candidates on the second floor," said the waitress, gesticulating a gesture of invitation, "There have been several candidates who have participated in the interview before, but they have not passed so far, you two should work hard." ”

"Got it, thank you. Al squeezed out an ugly smile.

It's that Li Shiyi has always been very peaceful, Al doesn't know what he's thinking, anyway, this cold guy hasn't said a word so far.

Walking up the elegant steps, the two of them were led by the waitress to a room where two formally dressed young men were already waiting.

When Al noticed them, the two men were uneasily wiping the beads of sweat from their foreheads, not knowing what the two men had just been through, as the clothes behind their backs were already soaked due to the extreme nervousness.

"The two gentlemen just wait here, and after the two interviewers in front of you are finished, it will be the turn of the two, and if you need anything before that, you can come to the lobby on the first floor at any time," the waitress said in a sweet voice, "If there is no doubt, I will go and get busy first, and I wish you two a successful interview." ”

"Thank you very much for your help. Al bowed slightly in thanks.

"You're welcome," the waitress replied with the same bow, "and I'll leave first." ”

After the waitress left, Al and Li Shiyi also sat behind the two in order, during which Al tried to greet the two, but the two also responded indifferently, obviously the huge mental pressure had made the two a little unbearable, and their sideburns were bursting with sweat from time to time.

After a while, a young man ran out of the interview room, his face was red and he looked like he was out of his body, and he didn't know that it was a prisoner who had just escaped from the prison interrogation room.

The two in front obviously knew about the situation of the previous interviewers in advance, and under the huge mental pressure, the two have survived until now, but the interviewer who just came out became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Instead of waiting in agony, the two of them stood up tremblingly and left together in the footsteps of the man in front of them, each with a clear butt mark on the place where they had sit.

Al was wondering when a seductive female voice came from the door that suddenly opened.

"Next!"
