The news of Annie's imminent marriage to Jericho swept through the War College like a tornado.

The entire War College was plunged into a major earthquake.

Countless admirers of Anne wept and grabbed the ground.

Countless people wanted to kill Jericho at once.

But no one dared and no one could do so.

As the future star of the War College, the youngest member of the Supreme Council.

No one could dare, and no one could touch a single hair.

In fact, strictly speaking, he is barely worthy, Anne......

bar.

This is almost all the thoughts that come to the minds of men who have the intention to kill thieves but are unable to return to heaven when they numb themselves with alcohol in the tavern.

It's like a citywide lovebreaker.

Late at night.

An unknown tavern.

In the cramped hall, only one person still sits in front of the old bar and drinks.

It's almost time to close.

This man had no intention of leaving.

He drank the fifteenth cup of ale and stacked the empty glasses on top of each other, as high as a hill.

But it was clear that he wasn't the slightest bit drunk.

For his sitting posture was still upright, and the silhouette hidden under the strange hat was still angular.

This is a very sharp man.

Also, a very annoying guy.

At least, the bartender, who is now drowsy in front of the bar, hates him immensely.

He really wanted this guy to go quickly, so he could go home and sleep.

It's really, inexplicably, such a small broken tavern is about to close, and it's still here to drink.

What's so delicious?

"Give me another drink." But just then, the guy raised his damn hand again. Said a sentence that made the bartender collapse in despair.

Another drink.

Drink and drink, drink you to death.

The bartender thought with disgruntle, poured a glass of inferior ale and slammed it on the man's table.

The man didn't seem to feel the bartender's anger at all, and calmly picked up the glass of wine and put it to his lips.

And just as he was about to take a sip. The gate, which had fallen into disrepair, made a noisy and piercing sound as it was pushed open.

Someone else is coming.

This almost made the bartender jump up and scold his mother.

Hell, I don't usually see a single person for a few days.

There was a second guest in the middle of the night today.

It was a guy wrapped in a black robe, and the bartender couldn't see the guy's face in the dim light.

He walked slowly to the bar and sat down in a vacant seat away from the odious strand.

"Drink something?" The bartender barely resisted the urge to scold, pulled out an extremely ugly smile, and said.

"Give me two cups." The black-robed guest didn't ask for wine. Instead, I asked for two cups.

In the eyes of the bartender, this is really inexplicable, why do you come to the tavern at night without drinking?

Looking for death?

Just as he was about to open his mouth to curse, the black-robed guest stretched out a hand and placed it in front of the bartender.

Then, ten genuine gold coins were revealed, whose sparkle could be felt even in the dim light.

"Be clean. Fast. "The black-robed guest could buy half the price of the wine here, just two clean empty glasses.

The bartender suddenly felt that life was not so bad. Today may really be his lucky day.

With a quick movement, he took out the two best crystal glasses in the tavern, carefully wiped them several times with the cleanest cloth in the entire tavern, and then, as if he was afraid that the ten gold coins would run away, he pushed the two perfectly clean glasses out, and grabbed the gold coins fiercely.

"Would you like a drink?" The black-robed man took the two glasses and pushed one of them in front of the man with the strange hat.

The black-robed man's voice was extremely low. People can't tell anything.

"No, thank you." The man with the strange hat did not take the cup, he drank the sixteenth cup of ale, left the money, and stood up. Finally ready to leave.

"The night is long, and seeing each other is fate. I still have half a bottle of Higashijima sake that I brought from overseas Ionia. The black-robed man didn't keep it, but slowly took out a simple small bottle from the black-robed robe, put it on the table, and said, "I don't know Your Excellency, are you interested in drinking this cup with me?" ”

The man who had already turned around and walked ten steps away from his seat was suddenly shocked when he heard the four words Higashijima Sake.

By the time the black-robed man said to drink the cup together, he had already sat back down at the bar.

"Dare to ask Your Excellency, what year and what kind of land is the sake?"

"This year's new rice is made of the foundation, pounded by the girl's hands, and the water of the cold spring is brewed into a pot."

"Masamune Higashijima?"

"Higashijima Authentic !!"

Laughter suddenly rang out in the lonely dilapidated tavern.

Cool and heroic, just like drinking on a snowy night.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Have a catcher in the wheat field, no ingredients."

Same night.

The same tavern.

The difference is that this tavern is the largest and most prosperous tavern in the entire War College.

Summoner's Tavern.

Even in the middle of the night, there are still countless people who refuse to disperse for a long time.

Lucian pressed a gold coin under his hand and pushed it into the bar.

As is customary, Joey, who is the head bartender at the Summoner's Tavern, will take the gold coin and quickly mix a classic Catcher in the Rye without adding ingredients.

However, Joey, who is now the owner of the Summoner Tavern and the agent of the Fight Club, the largest underground organization in the entire War College, has of course put up a shelf.

Someone has already taken his place as head bartender.

A mediocre-looking man reached out to take Lucian's gold coin.

But Lucian didn't let go.

"I want Joey to mix for me." What he said was not negotiable.

"......" The new head bartender was extremely hesitant.

"Sue him, I have some business matters, and I want to talk to him, about, Taylor Chamber of Commerce." Lucian, of course, didn't know what he was going to talk about about the Taylor Chamber of Commerce.

All he knew was that he would say Taylor Chamber.

Well, Joey will definitely come to see him.

Sure enough, in less than a minute, Joey hurried out of the room and headed towards Lucian.

And at that moment.

Lucian got up, pulled out his gun suddenly, aimed at Joey, and laughed loudly: "Joey, Taylor told me to sue you, go die!!!! ”

The last dead word exits.

An incomparably powerful light in the sky enveloped the entire shadowy tavern.

The night is also dim for it. (To be continued......)

PS: There is only one change.

Put your mind at ease.

Reply to two more tomorrow.

In addition, thank you for the local tyrant of my sister on the other side for the reward.

And the night building, really, really thank you.

And the dishwashing bear, Brother Xiong, you have worked hard.
