Chapter 270: Scramble
Goron turned his head to look at the woman lying on the table, and it seemed that she was the old bartender who had said he had "not wanted to live". Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info a group of idle men gathered around the wine table near the woman, who didn't seem to be very interested in the oatmeal beer in front of them, but they were all staring at the woman with wolf-like eyes. Goron knew why, apparently waiting for the woman to get drunk and then loot everything from her body. After all, the "drunken dragon incense" is not boiled water, and people who can afford to drink a glass of wine worth three gold coins should be able to scavenge some oil and water.
Of course, Goron didn't want to die, but he was confident that with the ogre's anti-venom physique, which was comparable to the ooze slime, and with the beautiful snake's "pearl (Nedan)" hidden in his body, which seemed to be more poisonous than any other poison, this kind of liquor that could only put the dragon into a deep sleep should not be too likely to affect him too much.
After Goron had paid three gold coins, a glass of black, black, yellow, and frothy liquor was placed in front of him. "Drunken Dragon Fragrance" is a blended liquor, and the main ingredient is nothing special about the original liquor, and the rest is the personal level of the bartenders and the intimate recipes they have mastered. It was the first time for Goron to drink it, of course, I don't know if the old bartender's methods are clever, but looking at his previous bartending actions is dazzling, and the wine in front of him is also strange and fragrant, which is mouth-watering.
Goron picked up the wine glass very simply and poured it hard, and suddenly a line of fire rushed straight to the tail vertebrae of the lower abdomen, and his head was as if it had exploded, and for a while all kinds of strange and wonderful sounds sounded in Golon's ears, and a dizzy pleasure came out of nowhere. The worries and anxiety that have accumulated in my heart disappear as if they were washed away by a flood......
This scene suddenly made people's cheeks twitch in the eyes of the others, as if they would see Goron lying on the ground and turned into a corpse in the next moment. Suddenly a few more fellows sat around Goron, like vultures that like vultures hovering over dying beasts. It's just a slight disappointment for these vultures. Whether it was the woman who drank slowly with her head down, or the boy who was stupid and angry, neither of them fell down until the wine glass in front of them was emptied. Although everyone was disappointed, they were not surprised, after all, according to each person's physique and different amounts of alcohol, there were people who drank drunk dragon incense before and only reduced their lifespan and did not die on the spot. In fact, some of the bar's regular customers have already recognized it. Although the woman was not a regular visitor here, it didn't seem to be the first time she had been here, and she seemed to be drunk every time she drank dragon incense.
After two glasses of wine in a row, Goron licked his lips and said to the old bartender, "I want another one."
"The old rule is that you have to pay for suicide drinking, otherwise no one will pay for it in a while. The old fellow looked at Goron like a dead man, and said with a blank face. Goron subconsciously touched his pocket. It turned out to be empty. Ash's status is humble, and Kula Khan is not a generous and benevolent master, and Ash has not saved any savings for a few years, and even these few gold coins are still obtained by him in Lao Cai. As a result, Golon, who had no concept of money, drank two glasses of wine.
"If you don't have any money, get out of here...... You're not old enough to see life as a burden. The old bartender scolded lifelessly, but there was a hint of exhortation hidden in his words, as if he didn't want to see such a young and fresh life pass away before his eyes. Goron looked disappointed. After thinking about it, he turned his palm over and took out a thick and thick one from the branded tattoo. Half a palm-sized scale came out, handed it to the old bartender and said, "Can I exchange this for a glass of wine?"
I don't know what creature this scale belongs to. It looks ugly, has no appearance at all, and does not contain magical fluctuations that ordinary people can perceive like ordinary magical items. All in all, the scales that Goron took out were like the strange stones that a poor kid had picked up from a garbage dump, and it was laughable to use them in exchange for a cup of suicide wine worth three gold coins each.
But not everyone is so visionless, after all, this is a prosperous and wealthy imperial capital, and it is a place where any treasure of the entire continent can appear anytime and anywhere......
Just as the old bartender was about to say no to the stubborn and stupid kid and blast him out of the tavern, a large hand slammed on the table, and when the palm of the hand was turned over, three gold coins were suddenly left on the table.
"Old John, since this kid wants to die, why don't you fulfill him, I just like to watch people drink and die, so I paid for this wine...... By the way, no one wants this thing anyway, I'll take it back and play with my little cub!" the man said, but he reached out to grab the scales on the table as if he was careless, but the other hand slammed his palm open, and then a strange male voice rang out: "Green, do you really think everyone here is a fool who doesn't know anything? Three gold coins? Do you want to take away the scales of a precious hellfire lizard that can be sacrificed to the Lord of Light?"
"Jordan, you, what nonsense are you talking about? What sacrifice, how can this be a sacrifice! You, what evidence do you have!" The man known as Green blushed suddenly, but his reaction confirmed Jordan's accusations, and the whole bar fell silent for a while. Almost everyone stopped breathing, their eyes looking greedily and suspiciously at the unremarkable scales on the bar.
"Sacrifice, that's a sacrifice!" was the only word left in everyone's mind.
There is no one on the continent who doesn't know what a sacrifice is, but there are very few who have actually seen it, but at least one thing they know, the state religion of the empire, every church of the Holy See of the Principle of Light buys any kind of sacrifice at a high price all year round, not to mention the Eiger red stone that can be sacrificed to all the gods, it is a priceless thing, and the sacrifice that can be sacrificed to the Lord of Light alone is already extremely valuable. For example, there have been several incidents in which a small church in a remote area has entered the upper echelons of the Holy See because the presiding priest accidentally acquired an excellent sacrifice, and the level has risen by leaps and bounds after the sacrifice.
In addition to this, the Holy See is also buying sacrifices to other gods, especially those that are hostile in nature. After all, the strength of the clergy of other sects could not be quickly improved with the help of sacrifices, which in itself also meant that the strength of the Holy See was increased in disguise. Of course, denominations of other faiths in other regions are doing the same thing.
Not only religious organizations, but also the great nobles are also buying various types of sacrifices to the gods to enhance the family's combat power. It doesn't matter if your family can't use it, the sacrifice is hard currency wherever it is. Although the Holy See legislated that all sacrifices that appear in the diocese belong to the Holy See of Light, this canon has long been extinct in name only, and no one will abide by it.
All in all, any sacrifice is a sought-after commodity with no price, and although the Hellfire Lizard Scale Scales that Goron took out are not a sacrifice of several orders, even if it is only the lowest value of the first-order goods, it can be exchanged for gold coins calculated in bags from the Holy See or any noble, which is the largest size of the gold coin pocket.
"Kid, I'm going to get this thing, I'm going to give you four gold coins!"
"I'll give you five! The poor ghosts who have no money will get out of the way!"
"Stinky little ghost, if you know each other, give this thing to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will ensure that you can get out of here alive, otherwise it will ......"
"You idiot doesn't have a brain, that kid drinks suicide wine, and you actually use death to blackmail him......"
"You bastards, I saw it first, and I paid for it first!" shouted Big Han Green angrily, while his eyes looked viciously at Jordan, who had spoiled his good deeds. At this time, Jordan seemed to regret that he was too anxious to destroy Jordan's good deeds, and quickly said that it was a sacrifice, which made the situation chaotic now, and it was not easy for him to compete for the bargain.
Almost everyone in this small bar came over and started a fierce battle around the scale, and those who had just a few gold coins in their pockets tried to make a bid, and those who had no money were going to grab it, but there were so many people vying for it that whoever made the first move would become the target of the crowd, attracting everyone to besiege it. Anyway, at this time, there was a mess on the table and a lot of gold coins were lost, and Goron looked at these gold coins, then turned his head to look at the old bartender, and said in a light tone: "I think, I should not be short of wine money." ”
The old bartender's face was extremely gloomy, he put down the empty glass he was wiping in his hand, and started the bartending again, Goron looked at him intently, unaware of the commotion around him, just quietly waiting for something that belonged to him. The rest of the bar was already in chaos, but no one approached within two meters of the place where the two of them were, and those drunkards would avoid it, intentionally or unintentionally, even if they made a big fuss, or rather avoid the old bartender with a calm face. The majesty of this old guy is obviously greater than that of Scar Joe, who deliberately hides his strength.
Just as a glass of suicide wine fell heavily in front of Golon, a female voice also sounded in Golon's ears: "Little brother, can you invite me to have a drink......?" Sometimes it's better to drink it with someone else. ”
Goron turned his head in a daze, and saw the woman who was also drinking suicide wine squeezing through the crowd, sitting next to her, placing an empty wine glass in front of the old bartender, and then knocking on the table to fill it up.
The old bartender's chest rose and fell violently, obviously full of anger, but he still looked at Goron with great professionalism to see what he meant, and did not start bartending until Goron nodded, at this time a few gold coins were thrown from behind the counter from nowhere, at least he didn't have to worry about no one paying.
At this time, Goron finally saw the woman's true face, and it was not quite appropriate to say that it was true, this woman's face was painted with a layer of waxy yellow oil paint, although it looked very realistic, but it could not hide the nose of the ogre chef Golon, and the smell of oil paint was completely different from the smell of human beings themselves.
This woman was actually disguised, and the coarse cloth dress on her body made her look without a figure at all, and judging from her current appearance, she looked no different from those thirty or forty-year-old civilian peasant women on the street. (To be continued.) )
