The torrential rain outside the house did not subside until midnight, and Xue Hua did not leave the tavern until the rain stopped completely.

The beauty is on the side, the wine is in front, and the rain is pouring outside the house, which guy who likes to be masochistic will leave the first two to brave the heavy rain to go to an inexplicable appointment that even the other party doesn't know.

Anyway, Xue Hua is not so neurotic.

He waited until the sound of the rain outside the tavern had completely disappeared, and when the Superintendent had sent him images of the moon in the night sky, as clear as freshly scrubbed windows, before he walked out of the tavern with his two slightly red-faced girls.

The location of this tavern was so remote that Xue Hua and the others sat in it for so long, and they didn't see any drinkers other than them and the guy who came to deliver the letter.

However, the owner of the tavern didn't seem to care much about this, he just went about his day's work step by step, wiping down all the tables in the entire tavern, as well as the bar and wine glasses.

When Xue Hua walked out of the tavern with the two sisters, the owner of the tavern also walked out with them.

With a lit torch in his hand, he rekindled a extinguished lamp in the alley next to the tavern.

That seemed to be the only effort the tavern had made to attract its customers, and the bean-sized fire flickered in the deep alley, from which it was impossible to see the door in the dim light without paying close attention.

"Your business is really interesting, such a good wine, why don't you choose a better store?"

Xue Hua asked curiously.

"Good wine is scarce and needs to be cherished, and when there are more people who taste it, there is nothing unusual, and it also ruins the business of other taverns."

The tall and thin middle-aged boss turned around and smiled at Xue Hua, and said indifferently.

"That's not the way of doing business."

"I know, but it's gentleman's way." The tavern owner suddenly gave Xue Hua a textbook Westhorse aristocratic ceremony, which was the kind of aristocratic gentleman's etiquette that was particularly ancient and solemn.

This kind of etiquette is basically very few people who have heard of it now, and Xue Hua only learned about such a etiquette when he was chatting with Old Man Kane.

It is said that when Westmar was a small and obscure kingdom in the west, he was often bullied by nearby nations, and the nobility of the country demanded this strict and almost mechanical spirit of etiquette in order to strive for strength.

Later, the entire kingdom of Westmar gradually rose because of this meticulous and serious spirit and the will to work hard in great unity, and finally became the entire western realm... Or rather, the most powerful human kingdom in the entire sanctuary world.

However, it is a natural law for kingdoms to flourish and decline, and the mighty kingdom of Westmar has not escaped this law.

Under the dazzling glory of the world's first country, the people of Westmar have gradually forgotten the spirit and will that have brought them to where they are today.

This ancient set of aristocratic gentlemanly etiquette was the first to be abandoned and forgotten.

Xue Hua really didn't expect that after so many years, he would still be able to see the ancient Westmar aristocratic gentleman's ceremony in a place like King's Port.

It can be seen that the identity of the tavern owner in front of him is definitely not as simple as it seems.

However, this is all a private matter, and Xue Hua, who had just met for the first time, really didn't want to ask too much, so he could only hurriedly return a noble salute, and watched the boss walk back to the tavern.

"In the streets and alleys, the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, between the markets, the hidden leopard and the hidden scales... The ancients did not deceive me. ”

He let out a long sigh.

"The tavernkeeper... Looks like a nice guy......"

"yes, yes, Funia thinks so......"

The two girls didn't understand Xue Hua's words, but their intuition told them that the tavern owner who was hidden in the deep alleys of the market should be carrying some heavy secrets......

"Okay, let's change the subject, should we go back and continue tasting cheese wine, or should we go to the shopping street and continue to visit the night market?"

"Let's go to the night market! Let's go buy something delicious and go back to the snacks! ”

A greedy little cook immediately raised her hand to express her attitude~

"You girl, you know how to eat!" Anne knocked her sister's head and then turned to look at Xue Hua: "The letter just now... Is it really good to ignore it completely?

Maybe there's some important information... Why don't you go check it out? ”

"Uh... You didn't remind me that I forgot, but it's so late, so the grocery store is probably closed a long time ago, right? ”

Xue Hua was reminded by Annie, and suddenly remembered that he did seem to have received such a letter in the tavern just now, but it had been too long, and the letter was really a bit strange, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and in the end he actually forgot about it......

"Let's go over and take a look, I seem to have some impression of the name of that grocery store, it seems to be on the commercial street, since I'm going to go to the night market, it's a stop anyway, if it's closed, just ignore him."

Anne said.

Hearing her words, Xue Hua thought about it and felt that it made sense, if there was really something important to discuss, it would be open until the early hours of the morning.

But if you just want to play with him... Whatever their true purpose, he's going to tear down the grocery store's sign!

Having made up their minds, the three of them quickly walked out of the alley, turned into the commercial boulevard a few times, and began to look for the "Beard grocery store" as they wandered.

However, until they walked the entire shopping avenue, they still couldn't find the storefront of the grocery store......

"What's going on, I remember seeing a grocery store like this when I was shopping in the morning?"

Anne frowned, looking around a little strangely, but in front of them was a noble mansion area, where no shops were allowed.

"Am I mistaken?"

"It's okay, let's go back and look around, if you still can't find it, then forget it, I'm not interested in running to the port area to find something that seems to be nothing......"

Xue Hua shook his head, pulled the two girls to turn their heads, and prepared to go shopping on the commercial avenue again.

However, at this moment, Funia suddenly let out a low exclamation, and then pulled Xue Hua's sleeve fiercely.

"What's wrong?"

"That, that, isn't that? Bilder grocery store? ”

"Huh?" Xue Hua was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked in the direction of Funia's finger, and then he saw a tattered wooden signboard, leaning against a dirty curtain nearby.

There was only a bunch of meaningless miscellaneous patterns on the signboard, and the name of the store was not written at all, but the dirty curtain, which was no longer recognizable, was crookedly printed with the words "Beard's Grocery", and the word "goods" in the middle was completely covered by dirty stains.

"It's... You actually used such a rag as a signboard, are you afraid that I will smash it? ”

Xue Hua walked to the door of the grocery store and took a look, the window of the store was pitch black, and it should obviously be closed.

But this sign doesn't seem to have any value to smash... It seems a bit too much to smash the store......
