1747. Dazzled (part 2 of 2)
On the first weekend of mid-August, I woke up early in the farewell town.
Life in a small town is always laid-back and idyllic, especially on weekends, and it's not like the big guys don't come out on the day, so even tourists can become lazy on weekends.
But today is different from the past, as soon as the sky is dark, the shops on the street are open, and many strangely dressed people enter the shops to buy breakfast.
"Bring me a glass of gin." A fierce Teutonic knight with a heavy sword said to Hughes, "I didn't have breakfast, damn it, it's too tiring to support this iron shell, I probably shouldn't have come so early." ”
Hughes handed him a large cup of milk tea, and served him two roasted sausages, and said, "Good luck, knight, there will be a lot of heretics arriving today, and I hope you can teach them a good lesson on behalf of God." ”
"Oh, thanks, but I didn't ask for a sausage." The Teutonic knight said that he had just said that he wanted gin, which was a drink of the knights of medieval Europe, and the name of a milk tea, and no doubt that he wanted the latter early in the morning.
Hughes laughed and said, "You're from outside?" Ha, this is for you, the Hughes family secret flavor grilled sausage, I hope it will bring you a good mood. ”
"Wow, thank you so much." The Teutonic knight had sausages in one hand and milk tea in the other, so that there was no more heavy sword in his empty hand, Hughes went over to help him stick the sword at his waist, and then straightened his cloak, and the knight thanked him again, and walked out with a click.
He walked to the door, and the door of the convenience store was opened again, and a bare, bearded, tattooed man with a horned demon helmet and a double-sided battle axe in his hand walked in. This is the dress of a pirate.
"Rum -- well, I mean coffee. Man, hurry up and get me a cup of coffee. The pirate walked in and said. This one is usually dressed as the natives of Farewell Island, who have always been proud of their heritage of pirate descendants.
Qin Shiou couldn't understand where their pride came from, what did pirates have to be proud of?
This is the difference in culture, Chinese civilization has a long history, and it is a bit short to say that 5,000 years. However, Canada and the United States have no history, so people value their family legacy. In addition, Canadians don't pay attention to Lao Tzu's heroes, Lao Tzu's reactionary bastards, their ancestors are pirates, it's okay, their generation is not.
Hughes brewed coffee for the pirates, this time delivering a burger: "You got up early enough." Kevin, I bet this is the earliest day you've had this year, right? ”
Pirate Kevin mumbled down the burger and said vaguely, "I was woken up early, my hotel has a lot of outsiders, and they change my clothes early in the morning, so I can't sleep at all." ”
He runs a hotel, and many of the family-run hotels on the island are called mom-and-pop shops, where Kevin is usually in charge of the night and his wife is in charge of the day. So he tends to wake up late during the day.
Hughes asked with interest, "It seems that there are quite a few people participating in the event?" I saw that the ferries were full yesterday. ”
Kevin drank his coffee and said, "Of course, of course, there are a lot of people involved, you go outside and have a look, there are everyone." Ninjas, assassins, elves, orcs, and a few goblins, all of them. ”
"Then there's a good show to watch today." Hughes grinned.
Kevin said, "Of course. There were people from all kinds of opposing camps, Hitler's SS, the Soviet Red Army. Sooner or later, we and the Royal Knights will have to fight one by one, right. What about you, why don't you change gear? ”
Hughes shrugged and said, "Don't worry, it won't officially start until eleven o'clock, let's give you the opportunity to play first, and I'll provide logistics services." ”
"Don't say it so nicely, you obviously want to take advantage of this opportunity to make money, to be honest, man, you can really make money, your Hughes family is born to make money."
"Thanks for the compliment, but what do you mean?"
"You'll know later, little Hughes's bastard is more profitable than you, and I can't help but despise him."
With that, the pirate Kevin laughed and put down his coffee cup and left with his double-edged battle axe.
There are already people coming and going on the streets, and there are indeed people in all kinds of costumes, originally the battle of the brave was a small town to entertain itself, after Qin Shiou advertised on the Internet and in the newspaper, some game companies saw the news and thought it was profitable, so they joined in.
With the ubiquity of smartphones, mobile games have become popular, and these games are simple to design and expensive to promote, so mobile game developers never miss any opportunity to promote them.
Battle of the Brave is a kind of cosplay exhibition, and it is more domineering, these game companies organized their own people to participate in COS, these people have QR codes painted on their bodies and armor, and they pull people everywhere on the street to sweep them.
All the town's police were dispatched, and Winnie seconded twenty mounted police officers to St. John's in the name of the mayor to cooperate in maintaining order, and these people were all loaded with guns, because the weapons used by people in the Battle of the Brave were all real materials, of course, only cold weapons, and hot weapons were not allowed to be brought into the scene.
This kind of event can easily cause chaos, and every time it is held in the past, people have been injured and hospitalized, so this time the St. John's Mounted Police are very concerned about safety and order, and they are sent with elite soldiers from various police stations.
Some people came to the town in advance, and some people took the ferry to participate in the race that day, and at half past eight in the morning, a steamer sailed on the sea, riding the wind and waves to the town dock, and on board were all contestants in various costumes, mainly strong men, all of whom were carrying swords and swords.
Every ferry is pressed by the mounted police, and these policemen have a stiff face and an expression that Lao Tzu is very upset, you are all honest. Normally, it is dangerous to maintain order for this kind of activity, although there are security checks on the docks, but people can bring cold weapons such as daggers and throwing knives, and if someone throws a throwing knife, it is not much different from being shot.
When Winnie applied to the city of St. John's on behalf of the town for the reopening of the Battle of the Brave, the councillors were reluctant to accept it, but Hamley's relationship with the town was very important, and it was also good for the town and St. John's to promote tourism, so he had to approve the opening.
In fact, if he could, Hamlet would not be willing to approve such an activity, and in case of an accident, he, the mayor, would have to lie down and be shot.
On the cruise ship, the passengers were discussing something together, when someone suddenly exclaimed: "Look at the sea, look at the sea!" Due south, God, unbelievable! ”
After hearing the shouts, everyone looked to the south, only to see a figure slowly appear on the turbulent sea, and then quickly rushed in their direction...... (To be continued.) )
