63. The festival witch has nothing to do with her, really......
The midday sun shone down on the royal city of Yad, and the weather was a little hot today, but it did not hinder the enthusiasm of the people in the slightest.
Carriages drove into the royal city, the crowded flow of people really busy the soldiers defending the city, it is not easy to maintain order, and there is no shortage of powerful nobles from other countries in these carriages, sometimes even directly to the royal car, they want to cut the line, the soldiers dare not stop......
However, no one noticed that in the middle of the crowd, a straw hat was mixed in.
"Uh...... I remember, it was indeed in ......"
This is the second time Jack has entered the royal city, and he is still forced out of the prototype of the country hat by the rushing urban atmosphere.
After coming out of Grimm's house, Jack walked non-stop to the royal city, mainly to collect some information and see if there was any strange emerging organization in Yade City in the past few days, which was the existence that Green named to suppress.
It's kind of like that......
There is a big difference in logic between children and adults, they will always be more serious in some meaningless things, such as now, how difficult it is to create a force, funds, connections, prestige, management ability, etc., these are indispensable, if you want to cultivate the force, it is even more difficult, like Green, who is destined to be a playful expert, where does the self-confidence come from? This is really puzzling.
And he actually arranged a habitual thief with no education and no diploma to be a pioneer!? There is a limit to being unreliable!
In short, whether it is useful or not, the child's mobility has driven Jack to the current turbulent city of Yard.
"Ahh Got it! β
After an exclamation, Jack ran towards something with excitement on his face.
This is the commercial district of Wangcheng, the liveliest place in the whole city, even during the day, the shops are still lit up, the eaves of the shops are covered with handmade ornaments of sea creatures, in order to celebrate the Poseidon Festival, in order to welcome the arrival of the Sea Emperor, everyone is riveted to prepare.
In line with the principle that the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first, the formation of the sea god has been arranged: the whale, which always cruises in the depths of the ocean on weekdays, is now swaying its fat body leisurely over the city because of some mysterious power, bringing enough moist water vapor to the city, and at the same time, it also makes a gentle moan from time to time, almost wearing a black suit and pretending to be Megalo.
The unsurprising inhabitants of the ground have long since ceased to express their shock at the first sight, and the shops decorated with sea creatures are doubling down on the business opportunities that will be brought about by festivals such as the god of the sea's birthday.
The food stalls selling local snacks took the lead in canceling all kinds of aquatic snacks and launched all kinds of barbecue, fried, yellow stewed and steamed foods that are not included in the abyss of the heavens and the earth, different continents, and abysses.
The tailor shop that sells local clothing temporarily cleared all the clothes with the slightest sign of other gods (what to do if you accidentally have a small holiday with the god of the sea), and rushed to work overnight to sew and sew the waves on the clothes that could be sold.
The artisan shop has cancelled all orders for non-aquatic toys and concentrated all creepers...... Ah no, coolie laborers produce figurines to well-known aquatic children's stars such as Patrick, SpongeBob SquarePants, Squidward, Mung Bean Shark, Clownfish, etc.
Even the blacksmith shop and the alchemist guild have played the gimmick of the latest research results of the alchemists of Yard City [streamlined structure can better reduce air resistance], and they have launched a series of props such as the tuna stabbing sword, hammerhead shark giant hammer, turtle shield, sea crab self-propelled bomb, jellyfish brainwashing cap, etc......
Of course, the most excited must be the local Poseidon Temple, the happy Poseidon priests immediately pulled out the killer whale-shaped iron virgin woman hidden deep in the temple, the great white shark guillotine, the octopus II automatic corpse ritual, the seahorse enema-type internal cutter, and the old priest who retired from the previous session danced the sea god sacrifice dance, throwing a long-lost wink and calling in a high-profile manner: This set, all pagans deserve it.
Of course, all this has nothing to do with poor ghost Jack......
Weaving through the crowds, Jack came to the door of a bar and looked up at the striking sign.
γWinchesterγ
Jack doesn't know how to read, and the main reason why he recognizes this destination is that the ** painted on the signboard accounts for a large component.
Green said that there were his informants in the bar, and that he was the best place to turn to him if you wanted information.
Yes! It must be explained here that in addition to the dark forest, Green also often goes to the royal city to play, and it is natural to know some children who live in the city.
Squeak-
"There are so many people."
Pushing open the wooden door, the first thing you see is a room full of vulgar people, they are noisy, boasting, talking, gulping wine, shouting loudly, slapping the waitress's buttocks, and then being pulled by the security guards on the back of the tiger to the corner of the enema ......, as for some who like quiet, you can ask the boss for a private room, the sound insulation effect is super good, and no one will ask how strange things are done in it.
In a place like this, no one cares about a little ghost who looks rustic and covered in patches.
So Jack, who was scared, came to the bar and sat down at the bar without any danger.
Be calm, Jack, don't let those guys see that you have ten copper coins on you, or they will be seduced by this huge wealth, and then say to you with a smile, "Little friend, I haven't eaten today, lend me some money", if you don't borrow it, you will beat someone!
Comforting himself like this, the little poor ghost Jack tried to calm down, crossed his hands to cover his lower lip, put on a face that he was a regular at the bar, and met the inquiring gaze of the bar waiter: "Bring me a glass of white water, thank you." β
The waiter was immediately amused, he shook his head with tears and laughter, and then took out a wooden bucket and cup, poured it full of water, and handed it over: "Please use it slowly." β
Jack felt flattered in an instant.
I have to say that the service attitude of this place is also quite good, at least it does not show obvious rejection of Jack.
'Now it's time to get to the bar, so...... Where is the informant? β
Picking up the barrel cup and taking a long sip, Jack exhaled heavily, then peered into the bar, and soon he found his target.
Green said that the informant usually hides behind the bar to wash his glasses, and it seems that this should be it.
ββ¦β¦ Spend the night with a concubine. Staring at the little back of the little man squatting on the ground washing the cup, Jack said word by word.
After hearing Jack's voice, his back paused obviously, then he stood up and turned around, looked at Jack, and slowly responded:
"You will leave your teeth and cheeks fragrant for the rest of your life!"
The code words are right, it seems that he is the informant and did not run away.
"Jack." Stretching out his hand, the straw hat boy introduced himself very seriously, perhaps to avoid a situation that he did not want to see, and he bit his name very hard and clearly, as if he was afraid that others would not understand.
"George." After being stunned for a moment, the little waiter wiped his hand on his clothes before shaking it with Jack.
"Listen to Green, you can get the latest plot ...... in Yade City here?"
Before the word "newspaper" could be spoken, the little waiter hurriedly put his finger to his lips and "shh......h
Then, under Jack's inexplicable gaze, the informant George mysteriously pointed to the other side of the bar.
There, an uncle, who was obviously dressed in an alien style, first looked left and right casually, and after confirming that no one was there, he took out a silver coin and put it on the table, and at the same time, a bartender also took a glass of ale and handed it over, and at the moment when the uncle was about to get the glass, the bartender suddenly buried his head in his ear and whispered something, and then took the silver coin that was obviously enough to buy several barrels of ale as if nothing happened.
Hearing what he wanted, the uncle also picked up his wine glass and returned to his seat casually.
Looking at their expressions, the two of them seemed to be doing a very ordinary wine deal.
After reading it, Jack was stunned, is this the world of adults? It's so complicated.
"Got it? You have to follow the process, or I won't tell you anything! β
The little waiter's expression was very serious when he said this, and he stared at Jack with burning eyes, obviously, this kid has been yearning for such a high-level and unobtrusive intelligence transaction for a long time.
ββ¦β¦ Is it okay not to give money? β
Thinking of the huge silver coin that Uncle had just touched, Jack was decisively instigated.
George: "...... OK. β
In this way, Jack first rubbed his face, and after his facial muscles calmed down, he first looked around casually, and after confirming that there was no one, he reached into his trouser pocket and took out a piece of [air] and put it on the bar.
At the same time, George also took a glass of refilled white water and handed it over, took the lump of [air] casually, leaned his head close to Jack's ear and whispered:
"Today's newspaper is posted on the wall of the inner door, read it for yourself."
So with you to play such a play, don't I look like a stupid?
The corners of Jack's mouth twitched, and after noticing the sight from this side, he quickly pulled down the brim of his straw hat to cover half of his face, and hurried to the place where the newspaper was pasted.
Fortunately, there are no people standing there at the moment, and Jack's heart is a little glad that the shameful family wine just now makes him very sensitive to other people's gazes, and he will want to run away if he is too close to people.
Looking up at the wall, Jack's happy smile instantly froze.
"Above...... What are you writing about......"
β
If you want to get to Yard City, you have to pass through the villages on the outskirts of the city, and it stands to reason that the avenues of the East Village should be in a crowded state for some time now.
But at this time, many people stopped and gave way to both sides.
Staring at the two figures in horror.
"That's why I told you not to come and pick me up, and see how these people are scared of you."
It was the woman who spoke of the two, she was wearing a blue and white maid suit, unlike some of the current maids who deliberately cut their skirts short to expose their thighs for welfare, her heavy maid costume with only a skirt trimmed with lace that dragged down to her heels made the maid's eyes cry.
Because it is like an ancient maid costume that was just unearthed in the last century, the body that could have been infinite was tightly wrapped, and only the charm of this maid could be faintly shown from the long black and beautiful hair.
What, you say face?
I'm sorry, but in the famous stage play "The Generational Feud of the Vehicle Killer", the savior of a generation of villains, Lord DIO's job transfer prop is buttoned at the edge of his hair at this time.
The expression of disgust that is completely downward, the sharp demonic fangs, the stone mask material, the eye structure that seems to be full of curse and resentment, and the stone barbs that hold the mask in place are all chilling.
Moreover, her voice seems to have been specially treated by a mask. Sounds a bit heavy and ...... Weird?
"These people's eyes are more on you."
With a cold and tough facial contour, a majestic and upright posture, the man who spoke left countless mysterious legends in the East Village.
Isn't Adam who!?
"So I'm worse than you?"
Through the gaze of the stone ghost, with a slight teasing, Adam was just silent, and then deflected the subject.
"Let's get down to business."
"Hey, I'm also your sister, okay to give face?" With a low snort, the masked woman's voice became lazy: "I've heard the details, but this is not the place to talk now. β
Looking at the flow of people around her, the woman paused for two seconds before continuing: "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry now, I want to see my nephew first, although there have always been correspondence, but I haven't seen him for a year or two, it's strange to miss it, this time I brought a lot of gifts." β
After saying that, she also patted the duffel bag on her back, and from the clanging sound of collision, she could hear that the contents were absolutely hard as steel.
Adam said coldly: "He is still in the recuperation period, see if it's okay, it's forbidden to slap, and feeding." β
A depressed voice came from the stone ghost's face: "I seem to be very fierce, obviously I regard Green as my own......"
"Then you can throw away what you're carrying, and these tooth-shattering black bread can be used as crowbars!"
ββ¦β¦β
PS: Actually, this chapter was for Jack to draw out the illegal organization established by a fairy tale character, but it seems to have been too hasty to write it......
Well, forget it.
After writing this book for so long, I suddenly want to ask, what do you think of this book?
Anyway, I found a lot of shortcomings myself, and I know that the writing is very white, and I didn't graduate from junior high school, and my writing is hard, so the narrative is unclear......
Hawkers, whether it's an old reader or a new reader, I suddenly want to hear your opinion on this book, just write it directly in the book review area, no matter how good or bad, I will add to it.
Of course, it's okay to urge the change or something, you know the situation here.
By the way, I finally asked for a recommendation vote (Yao Ming's face)
