In front of the Black Rose Theater, there are all kinds of high-end steam cars, and civilian security aircraft patrol around.

The three-meter-wide poster of "Giant Lake" in front of the theater was torn open by the do-gooders, and the drooping poster page was crunched by the wind.

The snarky comments and provocative thugs also had a certain impact on the performance scene.

The enthusiasm of the cult fans who followed Dorothy all the way to San Francisco from all over the world did not diminish this, but the theater was still empty, and many local audiences refused to watch the Lake of the Giants show to express their displeasure.

Many locals, even when they came to the show, were tempted to make a deliberate sarcasm in the audience, arguing that a Frenchwoman (Dorothy) performing at San Francisco was an undisguised satire of the vibrant and up-and-coming city, which was in fact the original commentary of a Irish Workers' Party newspaper.

"Damn the Chinese guys."

Li Yan sat down in his place and stretched up, and on the seat next to him, an old woman wearing a black lace hat, gray hair, and few teeth left muttered in a low voice.

Li Yan elbowed her next to her, stared at his hat and said with a smile, "Do you want me to knock out all your remaining teeth?" The dead old woman of Kefu? ”

"You!"

The old woman was so angry that she almost fainted without taking a breath.

"Guys, today is the last scene of Giant's Lake, let Thalia take a break, and I'll open for everyone."

The lights converged on Dorothy's body, dressed in a sleek silver soldier, her long rose-red hair falling down to her waist, and as soon as she finished speaking, the theater burst into applause.

The accordion sounded melodiously, and Dorothy took a deep breath and sang: "The clear Giant's Lake, the mysterious Giant's Lake, the calm giant, countless adventurers have come here, some of them face the clear water empty-handed, and some have never returned......"

Several headlights spread out from Dorothy's body, Li Yan's eyes closed, and when he opened them again, he was sitting on a racing steam car, and the scenery of the wilderness was rapidly receding.

"Woke up?"

Jian glanced at Li Yan.

The back seat of the steam car was completely dismantled, and the trunk was abandoned to house the huge hunting crossbow, which had only one crossbow arrow, so Jane cherished it extraordinarily.

The steam truck came to a fork in the road and had to stop, the original road sign had been cut alive with an axe, and a tavern stood beside the road.

The sign of the tavern reads "House of Robbers" in English.

Jian stroked her forehead: "I'm sure that Giant Lake is on one of these three roads, but I can't figure out where to go." ”

Li Yan was much more simply, he jumped out of the car and said to Jane: "I'll go to the tavern and ask for directions, you come and see the car." ”

Jane looked at Li Yan suspiciously: "This shop doesn't look like a friendly place. ”

Li Yan pulled out the revolver that Jane gave him: "I've been with Your Highness for a long time, and I don't think I'm a friendly person." ”

Jian rolled her eyes at Li Yan, and then watched Li Yan walk into the tavern.

Like all Western taverns, the people here wear pistols at their waists and look fierce, sitting around barrels gambling or drinking. And when Li Yan walked into the tavern, he invariably focused his eyes on him.

"I can smell the stench of strangers from afar! Hey, boy, get out of this place, it's the Cyclops' hometown. A refuge for the most vicious gangsters is not a place for a little white face like you. ”

A Scarbeard roared loudly.

Li Yan pulled off a chair and sat down, and smiled at him: "Although you are ugly, your aesthetics are not bad, then, I want to ask, does anyone know the whereabouts of the cyclops?" ”

The tavern burst into laughter, Scarbeard clutching his stomach and quipping at the white-haired old woman at the bar, "Hey! Goddess, your business is here, and another idiot wants to tell you about the whereabouts of the cyclops! ”

The goddess in his mouth was an old woman with her teeth about to fall out, her white hair braided into a twisted whip, and her body covered with shells and bone ornaments, and the tavern was very noisy, but she dozed off without a match.

Li Yan moved the chair in front of her and knocked on the table at the bar: "Madam, do you know the whereabouts of the cyclops?" ”

Li Yan turned his back to the guests in the tavern, and Scarbeard, who felt ignored, was furious, picked up the pistol on the table and pointed it at Li Yan, and roared angrily: "To hell with your cyclops!" ”

Jane was waiting outside the door bored, and suddenly there was a violent gunfire like fried beans in the tavern, and it took a long time for the dust to settle.

“……”

Jane waited for more than a minute, but she didn't see anyone coming out, and she couldn't sit still for a while, she slammed out of the car door, wearing two steam gauntlets, and rushed into the tavern with great momentum.

"Death!"

The goddess held a tarot card alof, and Li Yan sat opposite, the mess all over the ground and the corpses were out of place with the two people who were divining. Jane stepped on the blood and walked to Li Yan's side: "Are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, this lady knows tarot cards, and I'm asking him to do a divination for me."

Jane looked around: "It's really yours, I don't remember that your revolver had so many bullets." ”

"My hometown says that if you don't see an ambitious man for three days, you have to reevaluate his skills."

"Grim Reaper!"

The goddess, who had been hanging for a long time, repeated it dissatisfiedly.

"What did you divination?"

Jane asked.

"I asked her how to kill or expel a historian."

Jane tilted her head and asked suspiciously, "What?" ”

"That's impossible." The goddess replied with a blank face: "But if you go forward, there is what you want." ”

"Divination for her too, ma'am. She wanted to know the whereabouts of the Cyclops. ”

Li Yan pointed at Jane.

Jane looked at the goddess with some suspicion, but still sat down at Li Yan's insistence.

The goddess reshuffles the cards for her and lets Jane draw four of them.

"Pick one."

Without hesitation, Jane chose the one closest to her, the chariot of the twenty-two Great Arcana cards.

"Reverse, chariot. It means failure, stubbornness, and breaking the rules, and if you can learn to give up your persistence, the ending may be more perfect. ”

"It's impossible."

Jane blurted out.

The goddess closed her eyes happily: "There is only one chance, since you insist, please keep going." ”

"Whew! No offense, I've never believed in these things, the age of steam, the prosperity of science, the mystery of the monsters of the old times has long been lifted. ”

The goddess smiled strangely: "Do you know? Little girl, they used to think so. ”

"Who?"

"The monsters you're laughing at."

"Inexplicable."

Jane didn't pay attention to him anymore, and turned to look at Li Yan: "Let's go, it's a big deal to take a detour." ”

Of course, Li Yan had no reason to refuse, and the two boarded the steam car and set off again.
