Chapter 1: Cloud House
The drowsiness faded, and a pair of eyes opened in the dark. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Its pure black hue almost blends in with the dimness around it, and its presence can only be discerned in the blink of an eye.
One turned over, and Yu Yi sat up from the bed. He walked to the window and pulled the thick curtain open, but the moonlight outside the window trickled in. The darkness in the room was banished, but the empty room, a table, a chair, a bed, and a mirror, seemed even more lonely.
'Why can't you sleep tonight?' He couldn't help but ask himself.
A month has passed, and his hair has grown a lot, but fortunately, it can't block the view, so he doesn't need to trim it. The unattended stubble on the face is also a little messy, and it feels prickly when you look at it.
After the accident a month ago, he bought this small house in the Black Flintstone neighborhood with all the gold coins he had exchanged for the Light and Shadow Stone, and settled here like those life players, living a rare and leisurely life. The pace of each day is not fast, and he can also calm down and experience this life. Gradually, he regained the feeling of being alive four years ago, before entering the hibernation pod. Now, it's getting harder and harder for him to tell the difference between a game and reality.
He is free every day, occasionally gets together with friends, and goes to Mi Wei's house for a meal from time to time. When you don't have much money on hand, you can go to the mercenary guild with your friends to take on a mission, or help their guild fight the boss, and life is so orderly. However, after taking on a guild mission at the end of the night and leaving Wildfire City temporarily, such activities are very rare.
This month, he had a good time. But for some reason, tonight, he suddenly lost sleep. Distraught by the window, he decided to go for a walk.
After hanging the short sword "Madness of the End" on his waist, he walked out of the room, after all, he was just hanging out, there was no need to exaggerate to the point of being so excited about the black shield and long sword on his back. Walking out of the bedroom on the second floor, it was empty again. This is very similar to his real home.
When I left the house, I was greeted by a clear evening breeze, which seemed to carry a few fine grains of sand. It's about two o'clock in the night, and only the street lamps on both sides of the street are still in the company of day and night, and the constant light on the first floor looks a little dull at this time.
Yu Yi walked down the street alone, and it was the first time he had quietly observed the sleeping black flintstone neighborhood like this at this point in time. It was true that he was also patrolling late at night when the beast tide, but it wasn't a quiet night, and Wildfire City couldn't have slept so peacefully.
Strolling, strolling, he unconsciously came to that small square in the center of the block. Around the square, there are still shops that are still brightly lit at this time, and they are those small shops that have not been open during the day. It turned out that they didn't go out of business, and Yu Yi suddenly realized.
I don't know if it was all people like him who couldn't sleep for a long night. The cold wind was pushing him towards the warm light, and he made his way to one of the smallest shops.
The signboard in front of the small shop has two big words written on it - Yunshe. As soon as he saw the name, Yu Yi knew that this must be a small shop run by life players, but from the outside, it was impossible to tell what kind of store it was.
Walk down the stairs in front of the two entrances, push the door and enter, and the warm smell of the store will blow in your face. Entering the small shop, Yu Yi found that this was also a tavern, and everyone was drinking with wine glasses.
It's just that there is no smoky miasma like the tavern I've seen before, and there is even a refreshing scent of flowers in the air.
No matter how different the tavern looked, Yu Yi decided to turn around and leave. After all, he had a not-so-good memory of the tavern.
"What's the matter, young man? Forgot to bring money? ”
A voice stopped him. He turned around and spoke to a man in a crisp white shirt, half-kneeled on the counter with his chin propped up with one hand, and the man was looking at him with interest.
"It doesn't matter, treat new customers, I can treat you to a free drink." The man said.
Yu Yi naturally understood that the man in his thirties in front of him should be the owner of this tavern. But he still refused: "It's better to be exempt, I don't want to become a drinker who is tied to you because of this glass of wine." ”
"Haha, the tavern that sells that poisoned liquor has been smashed a long time ago, and we are doing serious business," said the lean man, "order whatever you want, you can drink whatever you want." Or, let me pick you a glass of wine? ”
"Whatever you want?" Yu Yi couldn't help but tease the sworn tavern owner, and he came to the counter and sat on a wooden high chair.
"Of course."
"A glass of cold milk."
Yu Yi's drink made several drinkers on the side look at him. And he himself smiled lightly, looking at the hotel owner in front of him.
The tavernkeeper snapped his fingers, "Ade! "People who are not regular customers will definitely think that he has called his own thugs, and he wants to teach a lesson to the malicious troublemakers.
"It's coming, it's coming, it's coming!" A quick and shrill response came closer, but the people at the counter didn't hear it.
I saw the tavern owner bow his head and say, "Go, get me some fresh milk and come back." The drinkers on the side of him were a little surprised by his words, but they didn't expect that the boss chose to keep his promise.
So, it didn't take long for a glass to be raised: "Cheers to Hardins!" Then they drank the wine from their cups.
However, not everyone agrees with this decision. "Hey! Are you crazy? Where am I going to get you fresh milk at this late hour? A shrill voice protested from under the counter.
"There's a dairy in the Northwest Side......"
"There are a lot of ranches outside the city......"
The onlookers offered advice for him.
"Did you hear that?" The tavern owner also laughed, "Why don't you go soon?" Think of it as punishment for stealing food in the back kitchen. ”
Yu Yi leaned forward, only to see the guy who had been talking to the man under the counter. Although it was the first time he had seen such a creature, he realized that he knew it was a goblin. Recently, he will recall some things more or less from time to time, and he just hopes that his memory can be recovered as soon as possible.
"That's just eating leftover food, and it's not going to be thrown away as garbage? Why don't you let me eat it? ”
The goblin swore the sparse hair on his head and walked away. He wanted to glare at the guest with cursed and vicious eyes, but he couldn't even see where the other party was from across the counter.
"Wait a minute, he'll be back soon." The hotel owner said with a smile. Maybe it's because of his slanted hairstyle, which gives people a very confident feeling when he laughs.
Yu Yi felt some unusual enthusiasm from the other party: "Why do you want to keep me so much?" ”
"Maybe it's because you're like me, you have black hair. You know, there aren't many black-haired people in Wildfire City. The man said, and as he spoke, he turned around and took a bottle of wine from the wine rack and poured himself a glass first, "Coincidentally, a month ago, I saw from a distance that the guy who beat my competitor for me was actually also black-haired. ”
Hearing this, how could Yu Yi not understand that the other party recognized him. "yes, I did that." "But I was also dismissed for that." ”
"Expected." The man took a sip of wine, "However, it is also because of the action, the deeds of the son of the duke have attracted the attention of the whole city, at least for a short time, it should not be committed again." I'm going to invite you to a drink, isn't it? ”
Since the other party was well-intentioned, Yu Yi was not ready to refuse, not to mention that he had nowhere to go now. He turned around and scanned the tavern, revealing that it was indeed a rather special tavern. No tobacco, no prostitutes, no scoundrels, not even loud people. All the drinkers were just chatting, drinking glass after glass.
"Your tavern is chic."
Receiving the recognition, the tavern owner naturally laughed, and he shook the wine glass in his hand: "Yes, there is only one in Wildfire City. Not everyone wants to enjoy a good wine in the midst of the noise, and it can even be said that those who mingle in the noisy tavern will not be able to feel the beauty of the wine at all. They're there for something else. ”
Taking a sip of pale green wine, he continued: "My tavern is a haven of tranquility. After being busy, many people prefer to have a drink quietly in such a comfortable environment. ”
Yu Yi nodded, turned around and sent a friend application to the other party.
The tavern owner immediately showed a shocked face: "You are also a player? But then he laughed, "I really can't see it, the point is, I didn't expect that there really would be players who could be so good so early." The Infantry Captain of the Flame Fang Army, awesome! With that, he took another sip.
"Do you have any legendary threads?" He asked again.
"It has nothing to do with it." Yu Yi said honestly. Indeed, his so-called legendary main story never seemed to give him any buffs. And now, after the completion of the [Hide] task, there is only a [Saving Power] task, and the mission introduction is also unclear. There is nothing peculiar at all.
At this time, a guest happened to come to check out, and the conversation between the two came to an end.
And Yu Yi looked at the new content in the prompt:
Befriend player Sick Bird Nine (Hardings Conte). ’
Looking at the sick bird who was talking and laughing with the guests, he realized that he seemed to know an interesting guy.
