Volume 1 The Curtain of the Night Chapter 58 Retired Soul Hunter
As soon as Fred's words fell, Xia Zuo's eyes widened.
What the hell? This is actually our Soulborn's bar?
Could it be that someone behind the legendary "Night Watch" bar is referring to us Soulborn?
Xia Zuo's thoughts fluctuated for a while.
"Huh. Without answering Xia Zuo immediately, Fredy took Xia Zuo to a relatively quiet corner and sat down, Jasmine also followed, as for Ian, he had a low sense of existence, as soon as he entered this kind of noisy and noisy place, it was like a dragon entering the sea, and he couldn't find anyone at once.
At the same time as Xia Zuo and the others sat down, some people in the crowd also noticed Xia Zuo and the others: after all, Xia Zuo and the others were all wearing conspicuous black clothes with similar standards, especially Jasmine was also wearing a wide hood, which firmly covered her face, which made Xia Zuo and the three of them feel a little more mysterious out of thin air.
However, most of these people just glanced at it and withdrew their gaze, after all, it is not strange to see how many people appear in this bar every day, including many mysterious people like Xia Zuo and others, especially those who wear cloaks and hoods to hide their identities, and there are countless people.
These people wouldn't be stupid enough to provoke these strange-looking people out of their curiosity, or they would be in trouble if they kicked the iron plate, and they might end up on the "Night Watch" bar's blacklist, which would be more than worth the loss.
"This is indeed our Soul Descendant's bar, and to be precise, the owner of this bar is the Soul Descend: he was originally a Soul Hunter as well. Fred smiled at Nazzo, not seemingly worried that anyone else would hear what he said.
"Are you sure?, aren't you afraid that others will hear if you say it directly?" Xia Zuo couldn't help but hold his forehead.
"It's okay, haven't you noticed that you can't hear other people's voices now? I just used my soul energy to form a simple soundproof barrier...... Of course, there is no guarantee that some people with excellent hearing will still not be able to hear our conversations. ”
"But what if you hear it? If it's just an ordinary person, maybe he'll just think we're a bunch of psychotics talking nonsense. Fred smiled unconcernedly.
"Wait a minute. Fred suddenly stood up and walked to the bar counter.
As soon as Fred left, only Xia Zuo and Jasmine were left, and as for Ian, he didn't know where he had gotten into the crowd.
Originally, there were only two people left, Xia Zuo and Jasmine, which was a good opportunity to get along, and Xia Zuo originally thought the same thing, but soon, his curiosity about the bar took hold for a while: after all, for him, a wilderness hunter, a place like a big city pub ...... He really had never seen it before.
As for Jasmine, Jasmine still sat very quietly on the side, Jasmine didn't seem to be the first time she had come to this place, Jasmine's head was slightly tilted, she looked quite cute, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Xia Zuo looked around the bar for a week, and then suddenly noticed a familiar figure.
It was a handsome young man in a dress who was working in a bar, with a confident and polite smile on his face, but a sly and playful smile flashing in his eyes.
It's Xia Zuo's first friend, Andrew.
Andrew works as a waiter at this bar, so it's normal to meet him at this time.
Andrew also noticed Xia Zuo, and at the same time saw Jasmine next to Xia Zuo, and couldn't help but smile at Xia Zuo from a distance, his eyes were full of playful and ridiculous smiles.
Yo, you kid is so good now, I didn't expect it to be so awesome, and I actually "flirted with girls" and came to the bar.
Are you sure it's a great place to go on a date?
No matter how bad it is, you should choose a good place with few people and quiet.
This is probably the meaning of Andrew's eyes on Xia Zuo.
Andrew didn't know that Fred had brought Xia Zuo and Jasmine over.
However, Xia Zuo didn't know what Andrew meant by smiling at him like this, but as Andrew's live-in roommate, he could also guess.
Xia Zuo couldn't help glaring at Andrew from afar, and then withdrew his gaze.
Ignore Andrew, who was still there smiling at Shazo.
A bad friend like Andrew, Xia Zuo understands that the more Xia Zuo is more serious, the more energetic Andrew will become, so it's better to ignore him for the time being.
Andrew saw that Xia Zuo ignored him, and then he let Xia Zuo go, ready to continue his work.
But Andrew suddenly looked at the counter on the side with a feeling, paused inexplicably, then withdrew his gaze and continued to look down and wipe the wine glass in front of him......
... ...
Fred, who went to the counter, soon returned, only to see Fred sitting back in place with a bottle of beer in one hand and several glasses in the other.
"I just went to say hi to the guy at the bar. Fred smiled and explained.
"Asked for some beer by the way. ”
"How about you?" Fred asked, smiling.
"Ah............h
Before Xia Zuo's words were finished, it was as if he heard Jasmine snort softly, and then the air was suddenly a little cold, which made Xia Zuo break out in some cold sweat.
But then everything returned to normal, and it seemed that the chill just now was Xia Zuo's delusion.
But Xia Zuo believed that he would not feel wrong.
Still is...... Forget it.
"Ha, haha......" Xia Zuogan laughed, "I feel like I'm still going to forget it." ”
Xia Zuo slowly retracted his gaze at Beer, looking a little reluctant.
After all, it's something I've never been exposed to, and not being able to try it is really torture for Xia Zuo, a curious person.
Xia Zuo was slightly disappointed.
"A little. Jasmine said suddenly.
"Huh?" Xia Zuo couldn't help but be stunned.
"You can drink a little. ”
Jasmine seemed to sense Natsuzo's disappointment, and felt that she did seem to be a little too careful...... Finally, he nodded slowly.
If only you had a little drink...... That shouldn't be a problem.
"Hey, hey, okay. Xia Zuo couldn't help but smile, then took the wine glass that Fred handed him and let Fred pour the wine into his own wine glass.
However, as if he hadn't heard Jasmine's words, Fred not only filled Natsuzo's glass with wine, but also poured Jasmine a glass and pushed it to Jasmine.
Please, hey, you're not drinking at all, Fred.
Xia Zuo couldn't help but hurriedly look at Jasmine on the side, worried that Jasmine might have some unpleasant reaction.
Jasmine was still cold, looking at the glass full of wine in front of her, and did not speak.
Jasmine, she doesn't seem to be much of a fan of alcohol.
"Actually, I think it's just a little bit of wine. Fred smiled and said to himself, then poured himself a beer and took a sip.
At this time, Fred seems to have lost his previous polite and elegant temperament, but is very happy about drinking, it seems that Fred is different from his appearance, he is a very fond of drinking.
"I don't like to drink. Jasmine shook her head, then looked at Xia Zuo on the side, paused, and said seriously, "You can't drink too much either." ”
"Uh, why?" Although Xia Zuo has a good impression of Jasmine, he has not yet reached the point where he does not ask for reasons to obey Jasmine's words at all.
"Drinking too much alcohol is not good for your health. Jasmine said quietly.
Burst.
It seems that as an elixir master who specializes in healing the body of soul descendants, Jasmine has a great opinion of wine.
Maybe this is the stubbornness of the "doctor".
But there is some truth to that.
Xia Zuo thought about it, but I shouldn't have any problem drinking only this one.
Xia Zuo nodded to Jasmine.
"Then I'll just drink this one. Xia Zuo picked up this glass of wine and took a small sip tentatively, the taste was a little astringent, but it brought Xia Zuo some inexplicable refreshment.
"Feeling...... It seems to be okay. Xia Zuo took another sip of wine and said.
"So now can we tell us about the bar owner?" asked Fred.
Fred had been whetting his appetite since just now.
It's really a torment for Xia Zuo, a curious person.
"Hey......" Fred grinned, "Boss of the Night's Watch......"
"He's actually a retired soul-spawn soul hunter. ”
"Retired?"
"It turns out that our soul hunters can actually retire??" Xia Zuo was shocked.
"yes, what do you think?" said Fred grinned.
"Do you think that our Soul Descent Council is the kind of black-hearted company that oppresses employees and doesn't give them retirement?"
"Oh......" Xia Zuo scratched his head embarrassedly, and then quickly opened up another topic.
"And how did he retire?"
"Wait a minute, when will I retire, will I have a retirement pension after retirement?" Xia Zuo threw out several questions in a row.
"He, he's naturally retired because he's old and his soul is becoming uncontrollable. Fred couldn't help but smile.
"You should know that although the soul essence in our soulborn's body will accumulate day by day as we continue to fight, making our body and spirit stronger and stronger, this is actually quite risky. ”
"Soul is a double-edged sword, and the soul descendant may be negatively affected by soul quality for various reasons: either overuse of soul quality, or absorb too much soul essence at once, or abnormal soul quality, etc. ”
"When the Soul Descendant's body or spirit can no longer bear more soul matter or even begins to slowly weaken, it means that the Soul Descendant's soul hunter career is coming to an end. ”
"That's when the Soul Descendant can choose to retire. ”
"Retired soul hunters will still keep relevant records in the council, and will regularly pay a certain amount of retirement pension according to their contributions, so as to ensure the normal life of retired soul hunters. ”
"Of course, the Council can still forcibly summon these retired Soul Hunters if necessary, but under normal circumstances, this is rare, and in most cases, once the Soul Hunter retires, it is very easy - as long as the retired Soul Hunter does not use his power to harm others. ”
"The owner of the 'Night Watch' bar, 'Hunter Bryan', has been using his savings and a pension from the council since his retirement to run the bar with his companions. ”
"Uncle Hunter, with his good brains, and the generosity of those of us who know the soul and some of the nobles who know Uncle Hunter, has quickly become a well-known sign for us at Clara, attracting all kinds of people to come here. ”
"It's been more than a decade now. Fred smiled, "Time flies." ”
"When I first came here, I was an ignorant kid and was given a bottle of beer by my unscrupulous father......" Fred smiled, his smile suddenly a little dangerous.
Ahhh
Xia Zuo couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"Hehe, I'm sorry I said too much. Fred reacted quickly, and drank the wine from his glass.
"I'll take you to Uncle Hunter, I haven't been to him for a while, and maybe there's something we're interested in there. Fred smiled and stood up.
"Let's go. Fred walked forward first.
Xia Zuo and Jasmine also followed.
A retired soul hunter...... What kind of person will he be?
