Chapter 1: The Blue Moon Bar
Karadezan is located at the northern end of Hailong Bay, according to historical records, there are traces of human activities here about a thousand years ago, in the early years of the divine calendar, the Onkru people were oppressed by the imperial army, and began to move here to establish a city, which is the prototype of Karadezan, and then with the prosperity of the "Central Sea Trade", Karadezan began to prosper day by day, and during the "Second Eastern Continent War", it has become one of the most prosperous ports along the west coast, with no less than 100,000 residents, due to the relationship of "the resurrection of the demon king", In recent years, most of the landlocked countries have become a pot of porridge, all over the country are full of swords, the people are not living, but Karadezan still maintains a lush vitality, I and Ellie entered the city when it was nearly dusk, if in the inland at this moment most of the people have finished the day's work and are ready to go home to rest, but for Karadezan this is the beginning of the real excitement, bars, casinos, ** all kinds of gold sales places you can think of here is everything, It is said that many people can lose their life savings here in just one night.
Ellie seemed to be familiar with the place, and I followed her through the streets and alleys, and finally came to a small inn in the port area, which was in the middle of nowhere, and the environment was very poor, and business would not be good according to common sense, but as soon as we entered the hall, we found that there were people everywhere, all staring at us with wary eyes, and I felt that most of these guys were not good. Ellie seems to be a regular customer here, and after saying hello to the boss, she received the room key, which is a street-facing suite on the second floor, open the window to see Hailong Bay in the distance, and from time to time you can hear the noise from the commercial street.
"What's next?" I asked Ellie.
"Pack your things first, and then accompany me to another place." Ellie took off her dirty coat and sat down on the bed to fix her hair.
I looked around and saw that the room was simply furnished, a bedside table, a wardrobe, and two beds less than two meters apart.
"Tonight... We're not going to just sleep here..."
"Why, this is the best room here, and you're not satisfied?"
"No, but neither of us canβ" I said with some embarrassment.
Ellie was very smart, and immediately understood what I meant, turned her head to stare at me, and said coldly, "What do you want to do good?" I'll sleep here tonight, and you're out in the living room!"
"Isn't it, I finally got into the city and let me lay on the floor!?" Although Ellie's words dispelled some of my doubts, I couldn't help but complain.
"Or else? Do you want me to sleep on the floor with a weak girl?" Ellie asked angrily like a tyrant, as if she had no intention of giving anyone room to negotiate.
"It's... Well, just listen to you. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info "After hesitating for a while, I finally chose to accept her arrangement, in fact, I just wanted to say that I could sleep in a serious bed one last time before leaving this world, but these words are not explained clearly to Ellie, forget it, I don't want to live anymore anyway, why do I care about this?
"That's fine, I'm going to change my clothes next, you go to the living room outside and wait for a while, and you are definitely not allowed to peek."
"Who is rare for your stunted body?" I complained to myself in my heart, but I still agreed, and obediently retreated outside and closed the door.
I sat on the sofa in the living room, quietly enjoying this may be the last night of my life, the aroma of fried food came from time to time outside the window, I did see a night market nearby when I came over just now, I really missed it, every time I finished a big job, the master would always take me to the nearest town to have a good meal, often every time I just earned a reward, I didn't understand this at the time, always complained that he spent too much money, and the old man always smiled indifferently: "It's okay, Wouldn't it be a pity if we didn't spend all the money before we died? Ha ha. β
Looking back now, the old man may have already understood the helplessness of life, so he has that style of being happy in time. Anyway, I don't have much time, why don't I go back to the next time when this mission is completed? This is also worthy of yourself. While I was thinking about it, the door to the back room suddenly opened, and Ellie came out of it, still wearing the dirty coat, but inside it was changed to men's clothes, and with her already somewhat stunted figure, at first glance it seemed like a little homeless person everywhere.
"Let's go." Ellie snorted at me, and I didn't ask any more questions, but got up and left the room with her, perhaps to hide our eyes, and when we went downstairs, we couldn't go out through the main door, but at the back door of the kitchen, and the cooks were all blind to our presence, and still did their own work, and it seemed that Ellie's relationship with the hotel was really extraordinary. After going out, Ellie led me around and finally came to the commercial street in the port area, which was full of people and bright lights at this time, because of the proximity to the dock street, you can see all kinds of strangers everywhere, dark-skinned, Vanuans wearing strange ornaments, lizardmen living in desert areas, blonde hair and blue eyes, fair-skinned, known as the "closest to the appearance of the gods", and even I saw rare black elves, where you don't seem to feel the fear that the "end times prophecy" is coming, Except for the madness that is more or less revealed in the laughter of people.
"Here we are." Eventually, Ellie took me to a stop in front of a tavern called Blue Moon.
"Don't talk much after you go in, and do everything according to my instructions." Ellie whispered to me.
I nodded, and she led me open the tavern door.
"Welcome, what do you two want?" The tavern was dimly lit and there weren't many customers, so we both went straight to the bar and sat down, and the bartender greeted us warmly.
"What do you want to drink?" Ellie turned to ask for my opinion.
"Whatever."
"Okay, two beers, thank you." Ellie said expertly, not at all like a teenage girl.
After that, the two of us sat quietly, Ellie didn't seem to be in a hurry, either leisurely knocking melon seeds, or just watching the performance of the resident singer on the side, and I didn't need to ask anything because she had something to say, anyway, my responsibility was only to make sure that her life was safe.
It was about the time when the resident singer finished singing the second track when a man stood up from the table in the southwest corner and slowly walked to us with a wine glass.
"Little brother, can you please give me a drink?" The man whispered to Ellie.
Ellie glanced at him and said coldly, "Okay, what do you want to drink?" β
"The finest red wine from the West Continent."
"But ** doesn't produce red wine?"
"Not giving birth now doesn't mean not giving birth before."
"How do you know?"
"A woman I love once told me."
Hearing this, Ellie couldn't help but nod her head and whispered to the man, "Please sit down." β
