Chapter 5: The Blind Girl
"The other three divine stones, are they also the same effect as it?"
Amber Stone Arya!
Garnet Nirusha!
Emerald Stone Silba!
And in his hand, lapis lazuli Feia!
The legendary four miracle creatures from the hands of the original creator Akaxia are shouted by the world as the supreme crystallization!
These four objects are miracles that exist in epic poems, and the former holders are all active figures of the time, and even after death, their names will be spread!
The goal of countless saints and sages, a symbol of strength and wisdom, a gospel that can transform mortals.
The four Divine Stones share two common curses:
First, no one can obtain four divine stones at the same time;
Second, the gods will not be recognized by the Supreme Crystal, or possessed.
In fact, in most times, only one of the four divine stones will appear, and two will appear in a few times, and if all four appear together, then there must be a vigorous event that can be engraved on the stone pillar of Aieloth!
It is already a blessing to be able to have a divine stone, let alone two or three.
However, as far as Chu Ge knew, at the end of the Year of the Fallen God, the Nameless King, the last leader of the Forsaken clan, had obtained four Divine Stones at the same time!
Of course, his ending, like the past and future of the Forsaken, has never been known, and only the three words of the Forsaken are left in the washing of history.
As for the second point, it is the case that before the fall of the gods, the gods, or false gods, sought out the footsteps of Akaxia in a vain attempt to gain greater power and make themselves comparable to the Creator.
They did have a lot of gains, but in the process of searching for the Divine Stone, there were all kinds of accidents every time, which made them pass by the Divine Stone.
After the fall of the gods, the gods gradually disappeared, and only a very few would occasionally show their divine powers in front of the world, and the last miracle appeared more than twenty years ago.
Estimating that the time was about the same, Chu Ge took one last look at the depths of the ruins, then turned around and left, walking out of the cave.
There was only a glimmer of sunset left, and by the time he returned to the town of Brewell, it would probably be evening.
In addition to the 25 SP points, Chu Ge also obtained two secondary paralyzing poisons from Hamz, as well as a pack of strong poison, which he could use.
As for the other party's dagger, it is indeed much better than the tabula rasa on Chu Singer, although it is only a defective product in the bronze level, it is two levels higher than the white quality.
If the strength was enough, of course Chu Ge would equip it without scruples, but the things of the Thieves Guild were undoubtedly a hot potato for him now, and a careless one would only lead to disaster.
For the time being, after soaking it with the blood of its original owner, completely covering the lines of its appearance, and making it lose its original appearance, Chu Ge put it away and carefully put it back in his backpack.
After leaving the cave, Chu Ge went straight offline, handing over the rest of the way back to the clone.
The time was at three o'clock in the morning, and Minghai, one of the largest metropolises in China, also shed its flashy and beautiful coat at this moment and fell into a short period of tranquility.
Buttoning up his coat, Chu Ge slowly walked towards the side of the street in the dim light, the weather in Minghai in early spring was still cold, and the pedestrians on the road were as rare as the morning stars in the sky.
The cool breeze caressed Qingluan, who was about to pull out new branches on the side of the street, and the vendors who were cleaning up the mess of the night market couldn't help but tighten their collars, and then prepared to go home and sleep beautifully.
As far as the eye can see, the steel jungle in the distance is illuminated by a faint light, and even at night, this mirror-like city will instantly swallow people's hearts, and no matter who they are, they will be turned upside down.
Magical realism - this is the interpretation of the once immature Chu Ge.
Now, it seems, it still is.
On the corner of the street on the right side of the neighborhood, there is a special restaurant called Purple Shang, which is open from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.
The name and opening hours give it a nightclub feel, but it's really a restaurant.
Chu Ge's previous apartment was nearby, and he fell in love with it one night two years ago when he stumbled into the store.
Now I have found a new place to live, and I am closer to here.
"Boss, I'm here again."
Chu Ge picked up the warm curtain in front of the store and walked in, greeting the boss with a smile.
The boss above the purple was a middle-aged man of about fifty years of age, tall, with a thin shaved size, looking serious and reliable, and the slender scar at the corner of his eye showed that he was not a dull person.
Even if he has known the boss for two years, Chu Ge doesn't know who the boss's surname is, and he always calls him the boss.
"Hmm, is it still business as usual?"
The boss's voice was low and hoarse, as if he had suffered a throat injury when he was younger, and every time he spoke, he tried to raise his voice as much as possible so that the customer didn't sound very struggling.
Chu Ge found a place to do it, gently rubbed the smooth wooden table top with his index finger, nodded and said:
"Well, it's the same as before."
When he first came in, the menu above the purple aroused his curiosity:
【Pork bone miso soup set meal - 40RMB】
【Beer (large)——40RMB】
【Japanese sake (Nigo)——30RMB】
【Shochu (1 glass)——25RMB】
【Limited to 3 glasses per customer】
Whether to say shabby or magical, there is only one option on the menu.
After inquiry, Chu Ge learned from the boss about Zishang's way of ordering - as long as the boss made it, he could order it.
For people with choice disorder, this is simply a proposition, but fortunately, the boss is also very experienced in this, and before Chu Ge said anything casually, he recommended the freshly made bamboo wheel.
Maybe it's because of the careful cooking, even the ordinary ingredients like bamboo wheels make Chu Ge feel familiar, and I have to say that the boss's craftsmanship is really good.
The overall style of the shop is the same as that of the owner, extremely neat and austere, without any superfluous decorations, and perhaps a little Germanic rigor in the presentation of the tableware.
The only thing that didn't hurt was the bad guests, like the man sitting on the diagonal of Chu Ge.
The other party was full of alcohol, his suit was crumpled, and he was drunk and slumped on the table, and his fingers were put into the plate with fried rice, which was very ugly.
According to the rules of Purple Above, the amount of three glasses will hardly make anyone drunk here, so the other party should come to Purple Above with the strength of wine after socializing outside.
Because of some special reasons, after being reborn, Chu Ge suffered from a slight cleanliness habit, so the position he picked was the other party farthest from the man in the shop.
Fortunately, that guy just lay on his stomach silently, occasionally got up for a drink, and muttered two words at most, otherwise Chu Ge would probably consider packing and taking it away.
"A curry gratin and chikuwa cheese soup, please use it slowly."
The soup of the Chikuwa pot is very thick, and when you stir it with a spoon, you have a heavy feeling, and from time to time you can touch the lumps mixed inside, and it exudes a wonderful milky aroma as the heat evaporates, which immediately makes your fingers flutter.
Chu Ge couldn't help but immediately scoop a spoonful and drank it, probably because there was too much gum, and after scooping it up, a thin film was covered on the surface of the thick soup on the spoon, completely locking the aroma of the soup in it.
As soon as the lips touched the film, the thick soup flowed down the crack of the film into the mouth, and the mellow aroma suddenly exploded between the teeth, and the warm soup slowly slid through the throat and then fell into the stomach, giving people an unexpected sense of satisfaction.
The chunks in the soup are bamboo wheels wrapped in seaweed and fried just before the soup is served, and although it absorbs the soup on the outside, it is still thin and crispy, with a faint burnt aroma, and it has a unique texture mixed with the gelatinous soup.
Although the curry gratin is not as good as the soup, it is still quite good, not only delicious, but also full of portions, almost every bite can give you an indescribable sense of satisfaction, and the best thing is that it seems to be sprinkled with a little black pepper of just the right concentration, and the light spicy feeling on the tip of the tongue makes people appetize.
The business of Purple Above is actually very good, with the owner's craftsmanship, it is clear that Purple Above's reputation can be spread, but due to the problem of business hours and work efficiency, the number of diners on Purple has been in a tepid state.
Because it is now past the peak period of Zishang's business, Chu Ge was able to enjoy it slowly in this restaurant that is not noisy, feeling a moment of tranquility.
"Boss, I'm here again."
Familiar words rang out again, only this time it was a young girl.
The face is beautiful, beautiful and vulgar!
The only drawback may be that there is a little less normal blood in the skin, and the face is a little pale.
Even Chu Ge, who was accustomed to seeing the beautiful scenery, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment at this moment, and then immediately reacted, shaking his head and laughing secretly.
If it is between life and death, then this momentary flaw will definitely kill him!
However, even if she really died in the hands of this girl, I am afraid that it may not be a pity-Chu Ge would definitely not think so.
"If the charm value can be displayed in numbers, her attribute value must be terrifyingly high."
He suddenly pondered in his heart.
As if he had become resistant to this beauty, the boss's expression did not change much, but he extinguished the cigarette in his hand, put down the newspaper and stood up, and asked:
"Yam pureed rice bowl?"
The girl showed a quiet smile and nodded to the boss:
"Yes."
It seems that her personality is somewhat similar to Chu Ge, and the girl chose a position against the wall and sat down.
That position was also the farthest from the drunken man, of course, right next to Chu Ge.
"Hello."
The girl greeted Chu Ge with a smile, there was a faint sweetness in her voice, but it was easy to tell that she was not a talkative person.
Her eyes were obviously on Chu Ge, but Chu Ge could feel that she had not entered her eyes, she was just looking at the scenery in her fantasy.
- It's not completely blind, but it's not far off.
Chu Ge didn't care about this, what he cared about was whether his memory was a little biased:
"Listen to the boss, are you also a regular customer here? How come I haven't seen you before? ”
The girl tilted her head and blinked, and after a moment's thought, replied:
"Words from regulars...... I guess so, but I've only found this in the last two months, and I've been here for the most part. ”
After receiving an affirmative answer, Chu Ge nodded, and there was nothing wrong with his most valuable thing.
After greeting Chu Ge, the girl straightened her brocade-like black hair, letting it hang down to her back, and the light from the window shone on her, making her pale skin holy, like the temple girl in the Greek oil painting.
In addition to her appearance, the girl's costume also made Chu Ge a little surprised - the standard school uniform of Chenming High School is the same as Chu Wenxi's school.
It's not a strange thing to go out in a school uniform, but at this point in time, the sense of disobedience is really strong.
A small bowl of mashed yam rice was brought up by the boss.
After handing over a grateful smile, the girl took apart the bamboo chopsticks.
To be honest, even if you put aside her face, just watching her eat, there will be many people who will be fascinated.
Chu Ge couldn't help but maliciously speculate that if the other party didn't choose to come out to eat now, it would definitely cause a commotion above the purple.
The speed of the girl's meal was much faster than expected, although there were also reasons why Chu Ge deliberately slowed down her movements, but she did eat quickly, as if she was in a hurry, and left Zishang before Chu Ge.
"Boss, do you know her identity?"
Looking at the back of the girl leaving, Chu Ge couldn't help but ask the boss.
He is definitely not a guy who can't walk when he sees a woman, and his three years in Orlanka in his previous life have greatly enriched his life, in every sense.
Although the law of judging people by their appearance will still be fulfilled in him, it will only affect the rational judgment, such as how much value the other person can bring him.
But unlike before, this time he was definitely out of pure curiosity - because the familiarity of the other person attracted him.
That powerless feeling of being imprisoned in the abyss!
The breath of the same kind.
"You're committing a crime."
The boss rarely told a bad joke, obviously he knew what kind of person Chu Ge was.
"It's a shame that I can't say it."
Chu Ge helplessly spread his hands towards the boss.
"But she's just a pretty bitch, there's nothing you can't say, if you have money, you can fuck her to the fullest!"
“……”
The atmosphere suddenly froze.

PS: If you have read the comic "Late Night Canteen", you should be familiar with the menu and the setting of the boss, and the name above the purple is original, because in my impression it has no name.
PS2: The original rules of the late-night cafeteria were not allowed to enter the drunken guests, but I have made a slight change to this.
