"Who are you, little brother?" the woman looked up at Wen Dao, the strong alcohol seemed to blur the focus somewhat. "Is there something wrong with finding a concubine?"

Anyway, girl, it doesn't seem appropriate for you to suddenly come out of the sky with such words, right? Wen Tao looked at the kimono woman in front of him rather speechlessly, thinking about how to state it so that it could be correctly understood by the drunkard.

"You, didn't you hear my question?" While Wen Dao was thinking about something, the woman in the kimono staggered to her feet, shook off the iron piece on her body and threw an impatient urging. "What's your name, how did you come to Daedalus, is it a fugitive or a smuggler, what are you good at? Tell me quickly. ”

What's the situation?,Wen Dao's eyes widened. The woman put on a posture of investigating the household, and according to the Harpy, Deedalus should not have any censorship. Wen Dao hesitated, in order to successfully infiltrate this outlaw place on the border of the Dragon Territory, he was indeed ready to disguise his identity, but he was not sure if now was a good time to report his identity.

It's just that the next sentence of the kimono woman made him immediately put aside his worries.

"Hmm, don't you even have the intelligence to understand language......

"My name is Wendao. In order to avoid being mistaken as a wild man from a wild planet, Wen Dao hurriedly reported his name. "I came to Daedalus with the Hamm Chamber of Commerce, I guess it's smuggling, as for what I'm good at...... Uh, well, it doesn't seem like there's anything you're not good at, you can do anything, right?"

Wen Dao reported tremblingly, but a feeling of déjà vu inexplicably appeared in his heart. In the past, when I was working everywhere, it seemed that my boss was questioned every time he ran away to find a job at an employment agency.

"There's nothing you're not good at, you're talking a lot......" The woman in the kimono muttered, as if she couldn't stand steadily, took two steps sideways, leaning against the wall to gain a stable fulcrum. While scratching his head irritably, he shifted his gaze to Wendao. "Where was the place of birth? Maybe find a group that is geographically close. ”

"The place of birth is, Nanzhan Bu Prefecture. Wen Dao replied honestly.

There is no need to deliberately conceal it, after all, compared to the hundreds of millions of civilizations that have set foot in the Supo Sea, the southern state of the solar system (Earth) is just a small pebble located on the border of civilization. Very few people know about it, and of course they don't have to worry about revealing the truth.

“…… Nanzhan Bu State?"

The woman who was scratching her head suddenly froze, looked at Wen Dao with a particularly stunned expression, and looked him up and down several times with a frown. "Nanzhan Bu Prefecture, is it the one in the solar system, where civilization has developed to the stage where it can set foot in the Supo Sea?"

"Well, it doesn't seem like it has been, I'll be an example...... Wen Dao replied slightly embarrassed, and it was hard to hide the surprise in his voice. "By the way, girl, have you been to Nanzhan Prefecture?"

"Why haven't you been to ......" The kimono woman squinted at Fumidao, as if she was examining whether what he said was true or false, and groaned coldly. "Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island. ”

"Huh?" Wen Dao was stunned, and he didn't react until he was glared at by the amber eyes, and the other party wanted him to take the next sentence.

"My Fair Lady, My Fair Lady, how are you a gentleman?"

"Jagged wattles, picked left and right. ”

"My Fair Lady, Jean...... Friends of the Jean?"

The opening "Zhou Guan • Guan Ju" at the beginning of the "Book of Songs" was actually used as a password to check the place of origin, and Wen Dao couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat while crying and laughing. If it weren't for the fact that I had been with literary and artistic youths for a few weeks when I was working in the bookstore before, I am afraid that I would have been kicked out of my hometown in Nanzhan Prefecture today-

It is worth mentioning that the atmosphere of that bookstore is actually quite good, but unfortunately in the third week of Wendao's part-time job, the owner of the bookstore was sued in court for an extramarital affair with a female student, and then went out of business. His sacrifice also indirectly achieved Wen Dao's brilliant resume that almost dominated the entire industry.

"It seems to be true. The woman in the kimono squinted her eyes with a happy expression.

“…… I think it's very problematic for you to use the Book of Songs to verify the authenticity. Wen Dao protested earnestly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, who let the concubine leave when it happened to be fashionable over there. The woman winked playfully at Wendao, and her expression suddenly brightened. "The concubine's name is Fenghua, the wind of the spring breeze, and the Hua of gorgeous clothes. I haven't seen a little brother in Daedalus before, where are you, little brother?"

"I'm here with the Hamm Chamber of Commerce. Wen Dao sighed.

"Hamm Chamber of Commerce...... Ah, the hobbit one?" the woman named Fenghua sighed for a few breaths before she brought up the impression she didn't want to remember. "Those little dwarfs have thicker skins than the armor of Daedalus, and they can slip away faster than the stellar winds, and they owe their concubines several commissions. ”

Fenghua frowned slightly, and looked at Wen Dao pointedly.

"I ...... I'm only hired by them, so I don't know anything?" Wen Dao hurriedly declared. Although I don't know what Fenghua is referring to, considering that the Harpy even has the courage to trade with the Dragon Palace with shoddy quality, it is absolutely possible to take away other people's money and run away.

"Just kidding, don't mind. ”

Noticing Wen Dao's stiff face, Feng Hua leaned over with a chuckle as if he thought it was funny, and grabbed Wen Dao's arm quite affectionately. "It's rare to meet a local voice from Nanzhan Prefecture, and it's a good feeling...... Huhu, can the little brother accompany the concubine a little? The concubine knows that there is a good tavern. ”

Fenghua seems to be the type that looks thin in clothes, and the gentle touch through the fabric of the sleeves makes Wen Tao nervous, and a little alcohol mixed with the woman's body fragrance soaks the nasal cavity, which is a completely different color rhyme from the girls who met before, and when he noticed it, Wen Tao was already red-faced.

"Now, okay?"

Looking at the pair of rippling watery eyes that were like pleading, Wen Dao couldn't say a word "no" after all.

Located on the edge of the mercenary plot, the tavern mentioned by Fenghua is a building with a sign inlaid with whale shark bones, and under the fish bones that are bent into a moon arc, the word "fisherman" is written in a vigorous and powerful manner. At the moment when Wen Dao doubted whether the culture of Nanzhan Buzhou could really be understood, Fenghua had lifted the curtain and walked in.

Wen Dao hurriedly followed up.

Walking into the tavern, the huge harpoon hanging on the wall and the weather-beaten oak rudder next to it attracted Wendao's attention. Whether it's the tavern's owner's personal interest or the signboard outside, the tavern's decorative elements revolve around the theme of the ocean, and the classical mortar placed in the tavern seems to be regarded as the treasure of the town.

The tavern doesn't have a lot of seats, but business seems to be good. Two-thirds of the seats were already hosted, and the drinkers gathered around the table in twos and threes, chatting and chatting with bursts of laughter from time to time. It's a little bit louder, but overall it's not a nuisance vibe. Just by soaking up the lively atmosphere, I felt as if my mood was floating with it.

The tavern owner was a man with a burly physia reminiscent of a polar bear, and he looked up as he wiped his glass, with a warm smile on his face that melted cream.

"Welcome...... Huh!?"

When he saw the kimono woman walking clearly, the boss's smile instantly stiffened.

"Why are you looking at the concubine like this?" "Do you owe you money for wine?" Fenghua raised her eyebrows unhappily.

"Auntie, half a year ago, you emptied my wine cellar, I begged my father to tell my grandmother, but I haven't made it up yet. Please raise your noble hand and let us go!" the boss carved a triple wrinkle on his forehead, put his hands together, and almost raised the white flag and shook it.

"Don't worry, this time the concubine brings her own drinks. Fenghua raised the clay wine jug and shook it, and urged the boss who showed his old feelings of relief. "If you don't want the sake cellar to be emptied again, you can quickly prepare the appetizers. It's rare to meet a fellow countryman, and the concubine has to get drunk once. ”

"Haven't you ever been drunk...... Yay, fellow?"

The boss's surprised gaze fell on Wen Dao, who was patted on the shoulder by Fenghua, and his unconscious call attracted the attention of the neighboring drinkers. The sturdy man dressed as a mercenary, as well as the little old man peeling peanuts, all cast surprised and curious glances at Wen Dao.

It must be thanked for the lack of news from the Dragon Palace, and the envoy of Long Ji who was appointed to quell the chaos in the Dragon Leader and his face are not yet widely known. Wen Dao, who wanted to keep a low profile but was pushed into the spotlight, had no choice but to respond to everyone's attention with a wry smile.

"His name is Wen Dao, he is from Nanzhan Prefecture, and he is a fellow concubine. Fenghua glanced at everyone and commanded in a flying voice. "He's coming to Daedalus for the first time, so you should remember to take good care of him?"

Although the instructed drinkers showed their own subtle expressions, they raised their glasses in response as if they had promised. That was by no means perfunctory, Wen Dao couldn't help but be stunned, and quietly glanced at Fenghua. There are men and women, soldiers and businessmen present, what is the origin of Fenghua, and can it have such prestige?

"Don't figure out what's going on, right? It's okay, you'll find out if you contact more. ”

There was an almost sighing tone from behind. Wen Tao turned around, only to see the tavern owner casting a sympathetic look at him. "It's Brother Wendao, right? My surname is Wang, just call me Lao Wang, please take care of me in the future." ”

Placing two shiny crystal wine glasses on the bar, the tavern owner who called himself "Lao Wang" whispered to Wendao to explain the situation. "Well, although I don't know how you met her, the people who drink here have basically been taken care of by Fenghua. ”

"Huh?" Wen Dao was surprised.

"Daedalus is a paradise for outlaws, where smugglers, bounty mercenaries, and pirates gather. Where do you think they will go first when they come to Daedalus?" said the old king blinked, pulling a meaningful arc at the corner of his mouth.

"Could it be, where is Fenghua?" Wen Dao was shocked.

Wait, didn't the hobbit say that there was no ruler in Deedalus? Although the hupit man's credit was as unreliable as a rabbit's horns, could it be said that he really had such unfortunate luck that he could run into the uncrowned king of Deedalus who was stealthy in the market whenever he walked? Compared with the hobbit's credit, it seems that the latter is even more difficult to believe.

"Tsk, looking at your appearance, you want to be crooked, right?" Lao Wang seemed to enjoy Wen Dao's stunned expression, and after a few sighs, he leisurely revealed the mystery. "Let me tell you, her 'black nest' is the only employment agency in Dedalus, whether you want to find a job or recruit subordinates, you can find her the fastest. ”

"Employment, employment agency?"

Wen Tao was stunned, recalling the familiar temperament when he first saw Fenghua, and his heart was suddenly relieved. Even if Daedalus is an illegal's paradise, it still has to abide by the universal law of "if you don't work, you can't eat". From this law derives the need to hire and be employed, so it is only natural that there is an employment agency.

Wen Dao's relieved gaze fell on Fenghua over there. Although I can't be proud of this, the employment agency is definitely the department that Wen Dao ran the most hard work in Nanzhan Buzhou, but unfortunately there is no employment agency with such a beautiful boss lady. Whether it is beauty or temperament, the gap is as huge as a hen and a phoenix.

Perhaps sensing Wen Dao's gaze, Fenghua turned his head to look over.

"Hmm, what are you looking at? Are you chewing on the root of your concubine's tongue?"

"I don't dare to lend me a million dares. ”

Lao Wang shook his head again and again, as if he had escaped, and returned to the kitchen, and when he came out again, he had already carried several plates of prepared appetizers. At this moment, the tavern is the time to do business, and several independent round tables have been occupied by the first drinkers, and Fenghua and Wendao have to borrow the plot of the bar. Although Wen Dao didn't mind, the old Wang behind the bar was under pressure.

"Come on, little brother, please drink. ”

Fenghua picked up the clay wine jug, poured most of the wine for Wendao first, and then poured it for himself. The amber liquor ripples slightly in the crystal, and the aroma is intoxicating just by smelling. Judging from the reaction of Lao Wang swallowing his saliva next to him, it should be a very popular famous wine, but compared to the wine poured out, the wine pot itself aroused Wen Dao's curiosity more.

"Fenghua, does your flask seem unusual?"

"Ho, have you noticed?" was asked by Wen Dao, Fenghua seemed to shake the wine jug slightly proudly. "This pot is called 'Ruyi Immortal Brew', and it is said that the treasure that Hua Lotte Jin dedicated to the King of the Virtuous Dragon, no matter how you pour the wine, it will not be less, and it is the most convenient when you want to get drunk. ”

"The treasure of the Virtuous Dragon King!?" Wen Dao almost spilled the wine in the cup.

"Y-How did you get it?"

"Of course it was stolen? It's Daedalus here. Fenghua played with the wine pot of Ruyi Xianjiu, and smiled wonderfully at Wendao. "Look, hasn't anyone been in the Dragon King's Pavilion for a long time? There are a lot of treasures in circulation. ”

"Is that so...... "I should be talking about the Amber Pavilion?" Wen Tao guessed. The Amber Pavilion, located on the track of Grumbel, was once the favorite annex of the Virtuous Dragon King, but after the Virtuous Dragon King left, he was left unattended for a long time, and it seemed not impossible for the treasure to be stolen by thieves who broke through the empty door.

Wen Tao put the wine in his mouth with a bitter face, worrying about what to do at this time as a retainer of the Dragon Palace? If it was a certain deacon, he should take compulsory measures of confiscation on the spot, but the only thing Wen Dao could decide was to go back and interrogate the old madman about how many treasures he had lost in the Amber Pavilion during his duty.

"Come on, little brother, concubine body toast you. ”

Fenghua raised his wine glass to Wendao and drank all the immortal wine in one gulp. Under Wen Dao's astonished gaze, Fenghua, who had put down his wine glass, let out a hearty cry and cast a sparkling gaze at him. "Tell the concubine about it, what is the situation in Nanzhan Prefecture now, is the Tang Dynasty still there?"

“…… I'm sorry it's no longer there. ”

The corners of Wen Dao's mouth twitched. Although I have seen all kinds of incredible and wonderful things since I stepped into the Supo Sea, when these things are connected to the world I have known before, the sense of astonishment is magnified exponentially.

However, even so, the inexplicable heat that rose from his heart with the noisy atmosphere prompted Wendao to pick up his wine glass and talk to the kimono beauties in front of him about his hometown in Nanzhan Prefecture in a cheerful tone that even he couldn't believe.

The nostalgia that had been like a thick fog in my heart disappeared unconsciously.
