Chapter 250, The Bar.
"Hey, wait, we can communicate in another way, definitely...... There's going to be a better way, come on, I'm an explorer, and if I don't have my left hand, I might as well go to the library and be a wood keeper. β
Click-la-la-la.
Ezreal struggled, but the brass lamppost seemed to grow on the ground, and it didn't move.
"I'm sorry, boy, I'm afraid you're going to be here for a while before we leave at noon. β
Jax said, throwing away the bone in his hand.
"Hehe, you'd better pray that shiny thing in your hand to strike up again, or you'll just be honestly ready to accept your fate. β
Sou!
Before Jax could finish speaking, Ezreal's body suddenly disappeared with a surge of pale yellow light.
Jingling......
The handcuffs fell, and the sound of striking on the brass lamppost rang out.
Jax and Riven looked at the empty handcuffs and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Damn, where did this kid go?"
"The next time I catch him, I'll knock him unconscious. β
β¦β¦
"Hmm...... Lanens, don't shake ...... Not...... Huh?"
When Ali slowly opened her eyes, what she saw was a ceiling she didn't recognize, and she was lying on a wooden bed that was not very comfortable.
"My head hurts...... I remember I seemed to have drunk something, and then ...... What is this smell that smells like ...... Hmmm, the smell of stinky fish?"
Ali, who was holding her heavy head, lifted the quilt, endured the unpleasant smell around her, and slowly got up.
It's like a bedroom in an ordinary house, but there are no decorations around, just a simple bed and wardrobe, as if you have just moved.
Where did Lines go?
With this in mind, Ali pushed open the door to her bedroom, and in front of her was a small hallway, wooden floor, and a hidden door that was lit by fire through the cracks.
Involuntarily, Ali stepped forward slightly, and through the crack in the door, he saw Lines sitting on the edge of the bed, and ...... Evie?
No, no, no, no......
It doesn't seem that simple.
Especially the clothes on the floor, Evie could even see the lilac underwear, as well as the appearance of the coat.
They...... What are they doing!
With a bang, Ali's face turned red but she accidentally moved the door, making an old squeak.
"Who!"
As Lines's voice rang out, Ali quickly turned away, but then the door opened.
ββ¦β¦ You woke up so quickly. β
"Yes...... Oh, yes. β
Looking at Lines's expressionless face, Ali prevaricated.
"Don't go in yet, Evie needs to rest. β
Click.
Lines closed the door and said to Ali, heading for the other door.
"You've slept all day, there's something you don't know yet, we can talk about it. β
Just...... Did you read it wrong?
Ali's face was flushed, and she lowered her head, not daring to look into Lanes's eyes in front of her.
Her heart was still in the scene just now.
Click.
After pushing open a wooden door, Ali is presented with a small bar.
It seems that the person who built the bar was a Demacian, because there is a distinctly West Coast style of Demacia - the bar, the bar, and the crystal ball on top of the bar - and the Bars of Demacia seem to love this thing, because the nobles of Demacia like these so-called 'moods'
However, there are fewer drinks to be enjoyed here than the taverns in Bilgewater
Round tables, smoked fish to dry, and tables for women to stand on.
If in Demacia, the aristocrats and artisans would drag their tired bodies to such bars at the end of the day, and ask the bartender to mix a glass of 'blue diamond velvet' and spend the evening in solitude in a casual conversation with the bartender, and then leave a tip, return to their home, and end their day in what they consider to be romantic.
But apparently, this is not what the Bilgewater are after...... Or rather, that's why the store went out of business.
The main audience of the Bilgewater Tavern was the gangsters, butchers, and sailors, or pirates, who, after months of busyness, would call their fox friends and dogs, kick large sums of gold in their pockets, come to the tavern, sit around the huge round table, call for five or six plates of bacon and smoked fish, and then carry a large vat of ale on the table, and drink heartily while telling vulgar yellow jokes, and finally walk out of the tavern in the middle of the night, and find two womenβ Or being thrown out into the street by the bartender and the boss the next morning.
In any case, the high-end cocktails of Demacia don't seem to satisfy the mouths of this group of vulgar people, and they often say, 'Oh my God, such a small glass of wine actually asked me for six rune stones, you XX, I think you're tired and crooked.' If you dare to talk more, you may be beaten up.
"Here we are for the next few months...... A place to live for even longer, and we're going to run a tavern here. β
As he spoke, Lines wiped the bar counter with his hand.
There was no grease, only a faint layer of dust, and it looked like the store had closed down after not long in its business, and the owner was in such a hurry that he didn't even take the ingredients and ingredients.
"But now we have a bigger problem...... First of all, there are a variety of spices on the bar shelf, and the letters left by the previous owner in the back kitchen...... It looks like it's supposed to be a mix of ingredients, but I don't know how to do it at the moment, and the bucket of fish in the kitchen is rotten and smelly, and there is a wild dog that sneaked in from nowhere and made its home in the bathroom, so it's all dog shit and it doesn't work, so the smell of dog poop and stinky fish is in the air now, and it's going to take a little time to clean it up...... Are you listening to me? β
Looking at Ali, whose cheeks were flushed and her head was lowered and she was silent, Lines interrupted.
"Ah, tell me again, I'...... I'm listening. β
Seeing Ali's face like waking up from a dream, Lines was sure that this little girl had indeed seen something, but he didn't plan to explain it, because the more he explained this kind of thing, the more chaotic it became.
"Anyway, I'd like you to clean the bar and the back kitchen, I'll get the bathroom in order, Evie will make some food with the leftovers when she gets up, and we'll try to get everything done by the second half of the night to make it occupied. β
As Lines spoke, there was a sound of footsteps at the gate, followed by a loud bang, and the locked door was kicked open.
A figure stood in the doorway.
