Chapter 1952: Caught in the Lake (21)

The slightly dilapidated bar is still as deserted as ever. The singer Daniel knew didn't sing on the small stage, but instead sang with another singer. Seeing that the person singing was not the person he wanted to see, the Black Iron Knight boy instantly lost interest.

But he thought that the singer might reappear, so he tried to be patient, and found a table and sat down in a relatively dark and secluded corner.

"It's you again. A fat middle-aged man walked up to the table and said to Daniel, "If you're here to find that girl from Liana, she's already off work." Come back tomorrow. ＂

"Oh. Daniel looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. Although he looked bald and sweaty, the middle-aged man was dressed in a decent suit, and it was estimated that he was either the bartender of this small bar or the owner of the bar himself.

"That's right. Daniel was about to get up and leave, but then he thought, "Uh, do you have any wine here?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense, bars don't sell alcohol or anything. The middle-aged man was not polite to Daniel at all, or rather a little bored and wanted to get rid of Daniel.

"Bring me a drink, well, whiskey. Daniel pulled out a silver coin and said.

"Do you think we're going to serve alcohol to minors?" The middle-aged man looked at the white-haired boy in front of him with an unhappy expression, and identified the boy as a child with Daniel's slightly immature face: "We don't do anything illegal." ＂

"Do I look like a minor?" Daniel pointed to the Black Iron Knight Medal of the Eastern Sky Knights on his chest. Because of the transfer, it was supposed to be the Snowflake Medal of the Northern Sky Knights, but now it has been replaced by the Sun Medal of the Eastern Sky Knights. If even the armor on Daniel's body is not convincing, then this absolutely impossible imitation of the knight's medal is enough to tell the whole story.

"Well------" the middle-aged man was silent for a moment before replying, "That's fine." Since you insist that you are an adult, then I think it is better for me to do so. After all, I don't think I've seen a few underage Black Iron Knights in my life. ＂

Then he turned and walked to prepare a drink, and perhaps get Daniel some snacks------ the silver coin must have been worth more than a glass of wine.

Daniel knew he shouldn't drink. But he was really irritable now, and he wanted to drink to drown his sorrows. His recent plans have not been successful: he wants to restore his brother who has become a mud monster but doesn't even know what to do, he wants to apologize to the family of Knight Dore, but he runs into more chaos and misses the opportunity to apologize, and even now he wants to talk to the singer to confide in his frustration, but she is nowhere to be found.

Tomorrow morning at five o'clock I have to go to Edinberg to find an instructor to receive the final training of the Iron Rider, and even after this kind of cramming training, there is no guarantee that Daniel will be able to pass the Iron Rider's license test smoothly. In short, it's annoying. The Black Iron Knight boy seemed to be numbing his nerves with a little alcohol, even if it was only a small sip, if it could soothe him and give him an hour or two of restful sleep, that would be fine.

The wine was delivered, and it was a whole bottle. The middle-aged man put the bottle and wine glass in front of Daniel, and grinned at the black iron knight boy as if he was playing a prank: "Lord Knight, you want the wine." You overpaid, and you can't get change here, so I'll give you the whole bottle of wine. Is that okay?"

"Yes. Leave me alone. Daniel didn't want to pay attention to the middle-aged man, a bottle of wine was a bottle of bar, and Daniel didn't care if the money for that silver coin was wasted. He also has a huge treasure in his house, and he has so much money that he can't spend it in his lifetime.

So the middle-aged man smiled indifferently and walked away, leaving Daniel alone. The singer on the small stage of the bar had finished singing, and it was intermission, and the whole bar seemed even more empty.

"No big deal. Daniel poured himself a glass of wine, brought it to his lips, and took a small sip of courage.

However------

He had never drunk alcohol before, let alone a spirit like whiskey. He began to wonder if this thing was for people to drink, and if there was such a bad drink in the world? The strange bitter taste like a chemical rippled through his tongue and throat, and the heavy smell of alcohol burned his nose like a strong acid, and the intense corrosiveness of alcohol burned his tongue, gums, palate, and throat like a strong acid.

Daniel couldn't help but wonder. Is this wine? Is the wine that adults drink like poison? Why does this stuff get down the throat?! Even the stinky water in the sewer tastes a hundred times better than this thing!

Then the problems began to arise. Daniel thought that his dark green knight had a strong resistance to toxins, even the effects of alcohol. In fact, it is just the opposite, the dark green knight and the emerald knight are almost the same, although they have strong regenerative ability and anti-poison ability, but they are helpless against alcohol, because alcohol is not strictly a toxin, and there is no direct and obvious damage to most people's bodies, and the anti-poison mechanism in the body of the dark green knight (and the emerald knight) cannot identify alcohol, an ambiguous substance, as a toxin!

As a result, Daniel, who only took a small sip of wine, was immediately drunk!

The world is spinning, and the world seems to be starting to lose weight. Dizzy, Daniel clutched his drowsy forehead and tried to support himself. However, it didn't work. He slammed into the table and began to fall into an alcohol-induced coma!

Dark.

Cold and bottomless, silent and boundless darkness.

[O greedy body------]

Who's talking.

[What are you looking for, and what have you found?]

The voice was distant and ethereal.

[What awaits you at the end of the darkness, is it hope or despair?]

"Huh......" Daniel suddenly struggled from his slumber. He found himself in a scene that suddenly changed.

He was still sitting in the same bar chair and crouching at the same table. However, the bottles and glasses on the table were gone, the tables and chairs were rusty, and the patent leather had fallen off, like an old antique that had been left for a long time.

There was no half of the bar, and as the people disappeared, the surroundings became strangely silent and dark. The ceiling floor of the bar has been turned into rusty old barbed wire, some of which are even curled and full of holes, and people can't help but worry about whether they will fall from the barbed wire and fall into the seemingly bottomless dark abyss underground.

An eerie atmosphere envelops the whole world. Daniel even suspected that what he was seeing was not real, but some kind of overly clear nightmare. He clutched his aching head, believing it to be a drunken hallucination. A chill hit him from all directions and crept up his spine. He sensed he had to get out of this place quickly.

Knock, knock, knock, knock. He heard the bell, which was not too far away from him, and seemed to be coming from the top of this floor.

------ seems to have come from the house of Mr. Dore, the knight.

It must have been empty, so why was the bell ringing?" Daniel wondered. Could it be that even the bells are his hallucinations?

Daniel struggled to get up, intending to go over and take a look. It should be said that it is better to go anywhere than to stay in this hellish place, this rusty bar is just too eerie.

He walked out of the small bar, expecting that eerie feeling to pass quickly. Things were far from being as simple as he imagined, the road outside the bar, the buildings around it, everything was so old and decadent, as if Daniel had traveled through time and arrived in the same place hundreds of years later, but the city had been deserted.

There was even a mist around him, not thick or thin, but it was just a fog that made it difficult for Daniel to see twenty yards away, perhaps it had something to do with the darkness of the environment. The concrete on the road was cracked into pieces and peeled off the ground, like a pile of rubble on the ground. Even behind Daniel, the apartment where Mr. Knight Doré used to live has become a dilapidated and dilapidated building.

Knock, knock, knock, knock. Only the bell, still stubbornly coming from upstairs, most likely from Mr. Dorey's house.

The headache made it impossible for Daniel to concentrate on his thoughts, but he knew that it was not an option for him to run around the fog-covered streets, and God knew if some monster would suddenly run out of the invisible mist?

The bell stopped.

Click, click. The bell was replaced by another sound. It sounded a bit like the footsteps of some kind of creature, but it was extremely heavy. Every time that voice sounded, it was accompanied by the sound of some kind of heavy force dragging the ground!

If I had to describe it, it was like the sound of a strong man in heavy gear walking barefoot on the ground.

And Daniel, who was alert, also subconsciously touched his waist and tried to take out the saber. However, at this time, he realized that all his equipment was gone, it should be said that even the armor on his body had disappeared, and now he was unarmed and only wearing civilian clothes.

Daniel felt more and more that it was a nightmare. There's no way he'd be stripped naked while drunk, stolen from his weapon, and thrown into a world that looks very similar to reality, but is subtly different. If nothing could be explained, it would be a nightmare.

...... Or maybe someone had cast an illusion on him. God knows.

But one thing he knew very well was that he didn't have any equipment in his hands now, and if he encountered any dangerous enemy, he would die in an instant, and he would not even have room to fight back!

He knew now that he was nervous, but it was a little too late. At this moment, the owner of the footsteps had slowly walked down the stairs! Daniel's initial guess was not much different from the truth, and the one who came down the stairs was a tall man who was nearly six feet tall!
