Chapter 269: Drunken Dragon

A big man who didn't know whether it was a bartender or a bar thug stood in front of Goron, and without saying a word, he reached out and grabbed Goron's neck, as if trying to lift Goron by the back of the neck like a kitten and a puppy, and then threw the filthy imp out the door.

The big man came so fast that Goron didn't have time to think about it, he just instinctively stretched out his hand and pushed him, the movement here had already attracted the attention of many people in the bar, and when they saw that it was just a bar thug driving away a dirty child, they immediately turned around with little interest, what should they do and continue to do something. This kind of thing happened several times a day, and then it was just the little ghost screaming and flying out the door, but then they heard a muffled bang, and when they turned their heads to look, they found that the big man who looked like a man and a bear was sitting on the ground in a very embarrassed position, and the little ghost he wanted to drive away was standing in place at this time, with an outstretched palm still pushing forward.

Both Goron and this big man were very surprised at this time. Goron actually regretted it as soon as he made a move, as a member of the ogre race, he didn't know what it was to keep his hand at all, although this push was not a serious shot, but it was enough to make ordinary people lose their stomachs, when Goron was still in the fairy tale circus, several trainees who provoked Goron died inexplicably and tragically at his hands. But now Goron knew that it was not a good thing to kill people casually in the imperial capital, and if he accidentally provoked a nobleman, it was very likely to bring him unnecessary trouble in his future actions. It's just that it's too late to stop, and Goron is ready to turn around and leave immediately after the killing, but he didn't expect that the other party just fell to the ground. It didn't seem like a big deal.

However, Golon's surprise was far less than that of the other party...... The big man who sat on the ground was even more dumbfounded, as if he couldn't believe that he would be pushed down by a little hairy child. Others don't know. He was clear about his true strength in his heart.

Although everyone around him, including the bar owner, thought that he was just barely reaching the second order. A spear-and-halberd warrior who has just retired from the battlefield. This kind of strength is indeed more than enough to be a thug bodyguard in this kind of tavern, but what no one knows is that the real strength of this big man is a senior, third-order high-level heavy shield defender.

There is no doubt that the rugged man from a defensive position is stable, and even the heavily armored knights who are facing the charge can stand tall. Although he really didn't have the heart to defend the child in front of him just now, the pressure that the big man felt at that moment was like facing a minotaur who picked up a thick totem and slammed it at him on the battlefield, a king of the hill with a war hammer, or an ogre wielding a mace......

"Hey! Scar Joe. Why are you so cowardly today? Is it that you have consumed too much on Alain's belly, and now your legs are so weak that you can't even stand in battle? Or maybe the opponent you are facing today is too 'powerful', and it turns out to be a legendary ...... What's coming from...... Little ghost god of war?"

A bunch of bored drunks finally found their fun, and suddenly began to laugh at this stupid man who usually flaunted his might, but was now pushed to the ground by a child. Although almost everyone thought that the big man fell to the ground because he didn't stand firm, but what did it matter, in short, today's incident was enough to laugh at this fool for them to have fun for a while. Only a handful of people began to worry that the angry Scar Joe would take a crazy revenge and beat the hapless child to death. Of course. They are just worried that if it happens, they will just stand by and watch.

In the face of the laughter in the room, the big man was indifferent. He didn't jump up in a hurry and threw himself at Goron. The reason why he was able to come back alive from the battlefield and still keep his limbs intact and sound was definitely due to Dahan's keen intuition and rational judgment. To put it bluntly, as long as you meet a guy who looks more powerful. Then he immediately walked away from it.

So in front of everyone's eyes, Scar Joe actually got up from the ground in a gray way. No one paid any attention to it and left the bar. In his opinion, it was not surprising that a guy who could easily push down a third-order defensive warrior appeared. After all, this is the imperial capital of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. But if the person who pushed him down was just a big boy, if this boy was wearing only the most ordinary civilian clothes, if so many weird things were put together, then there was a high chance that there would be a special accident, and what would happen to Scar Joe didn't know, but it wouldn't be something that he, a third-order defender, could deal with. So the most rational decision is to get out of here immediately, even if you get fired by your boss later. Scar Joe is admittedly not a guy with courage, but this cautious and windless code of conduct is also the reason why he, a little person, has been able to survive until now. There is a fact that everyone knows, but no one wants to talk about, that is, the corpses pulled out of Montenegro every day are counted by cars, and the vast majority of these corpses are unnatural deaths, and they are unclaimed abandoned corpses.

However, Scar Joe's caution has a completely different interpretation in the eyes of the rest of the bar, this bully and afraid of hard bastard is unexpectedly an extremely shy guy, and after being ridiculed by everyone, he can't even take revenge on the kid and leaves, so the bar is silent for a few seconds, and then there is a burst of laughter, and almost every drinker is laughing at Scar Joe's coward in the most contemptuous words, discussing whether he is hiding in the toilet and sobbing at this time, or going back to his wife to vent his anger. Especially those who have suffered under Scar Joe, at this time, they are even more black and spare no effort. On the contrary, the initiator of this incident, one of the two protagonists, Goron, was easily ignored like air.

Goron stood for a while, and found that no one cared about him, no one stopped him, and no one wanted to trouble him, so he didn't think much about it, and walked into the bar, Goron walked all the way to the front desk of the bar, found a place to sit down, and immediately the bartender with a sad face behind the bar came over, and asked in a dead tone: "Little ghost, what do you want, declare in advance, there is no milk for sale here." ”

Goron ignored his taunts, but his nose sniffed through the air, and his eyes swept over the table in front of everyone in the bar. One of the first jobs Goron took out of the peninsula's rainforests was as a bar cook. Naturally familiar with this environment, he could see at a glance that this was actually a civilian bar for the middle and lower class consumer groups. Although the façade is not bad so as not to affect the cityscape, the interior decoration is very ordinary. The overall environment is dim and dirty, and it also emits a sour and sour smell, although the ogre's sense of smell is not as good as that of some canines and orcs, but it is also very keen, not to mention that Goron has specially trained his nose out of professional needs, if he is not an ogre, he has already been used to more terrible smells, I am afraid that he has turned his head and left by now.

The reason why Goron stayed here was because of the thrilling smell of wine he smelled at the beginning. Goron followed the scent to find it. Finding that the vast majority of people were drinking the usual oat bitters, and a few were drinking cheap wine with the right water, Goron searched for a whole circle before he found his target in the incomparably mixed smell, a woman on the other side of the bar who was half-lying on the table without raising her head, her head hung down, as if she had fallen asleep, but every few moments she reached out and grabbed the glass in front of her. Dizzy, he poured a mouthful into his mouth.

"I want the same wine as her. Goron pointed to the woman, and the intoxicating smell of wine wafted from the glass in front of her.

"Boy, don't you want to live?" the bartender suddenly had a very strange expression on his face, as if there was a bit of sarcasm. And a little sympathy.

"Huh?" Goron didn't understand what he meant, but he didn't seem to be hostile, and it didn't look like he was blackmailing him. So he frowned and wondered: "The wine...... Isn't it expensive?"

Goron was a little worried about the price of the wine, even though he was the big boss behind the Black City. But now he really doesn't have much money, and the few gold coins in his pocket are also the private money that Ash has worked hard to save. The taste of the wine was obviously slightly better than the best wine that Baron Kulahan used to cling to the powerful, and it was not surprising that the bartender would have offered a sky-high price.

However, the old bartender shook his head, and the expression on his face returned to that sad face. He didn't prepare to mix wine as Goron instructed, but he picked up an empty wine glass and carefully wiped it with a rag that looked very old, and said casually, "The wine...... It's not cheap, but it's not expensive either. The problem is not here...... It seems that you really don't know, well, it's called 'suicide wine', and only people who want to die drink it. ”

"Is it some kind of poison?"

"No, it's not a poison, but it's a ...... effect of poison" The bartender tilted his head, as if searching for something in his memory, his expression changed, as if he finally remembered, so he continued: "I remember, 'suicide wine' is just another name, and this wine has an official name, called 'Drunken Dragon Fragrance'." ”

"Drunken dragon incense, drunken dragon incense! This wine is actually drunken dragon incense!" Goron was amazed, and at the same time understood what the bartender meant. The name "Drunken Dragon Incense" is not unfamiliar to Golon, because it is an important prop that appears in the famous heroic epic "Samaranch Dragon Slayer".

In order to kill the powerful sixth-order evil dragon Barrankasato, the hero king Samaranch, under the guidance of the wise man Sangitor, brewed an incomparably sweet wine with the dragon's favorite fruit, the red-skinned magic pomelo, and dozens of herbs with powerful hypnotic effects. The hero King Samaranch offered wine to the dragon Barrancasato, who drank it and fell into a deep sleep, so Samaranch took his sword and stabbed it into the dragon's heart, killing him on the spot.

This story is familiar to Golon, and he knows that the recipe of this fine wine has also been handed down, and after the improvement of the dwarven brewing master Kara Ting, Copperbeard, it has become a new wine that can be compared to any famous wine in the world, "Drunken Dragon Fragrance". However, this fine wine, which is made for the dragon constitution, has a fatal flaw, that is, this wine contains a fatal poison that cannot be removed. A small amount of drinking will directly shorten the lifespan, and drinking a large amount will kill you. According to the different physique of various races, even dwarves who are gifted with toxin resistance can only drink one bucket at most, and Terrans with relatively weak physiques can get drunk to death after one or two cups.

However, the brewing cycle of drunken dragon incense is short, and there are no particularly precious and rare things in the materials, so the cost is relatively low. The most important thing is that his taste is so good that no drunkard can refuse, and every year there are alcoholic guys who die happily drunk under the wine table. And for ordinary civilians, drunken dragon incense is also the only thing they can enjoy that the upper nobles can't enjoy, and using it to commit suicide is the most romantic and comfortable choice.

Because of this, when the bartender saw that Goron didn't know the truth about the "suicide wine" before, so he ignored Golon's order, and when Goron reaffirmed that what he wanted was this kind of suicide wine, the old bartender was stunned at first, then shook his head with a wry smile, turned around and picked up the wine glass and began to mix, while muttering softly: "Another one".
