Chapter 12: Heart of the Styx
In front of White Tiger Trading Co., Ltd.
Yun Xiaotian was carrying a sleeping Xiaoxue on his back, Lin Hu was holding an umbrella on the side, and most of his body was drenched in the rain.
"Kuroko, take Xiaoxue back to sleep." Lin Hu shouted loudly.
Kuroko came over with an umbrella and picked up the sleeping Xiaoxue.
"Xiaotian, go out drinking with me." Lin Hu said lightly.
"Good!"
"Where to go?" Yun Xiaotian understood that Lin Hu was in a bad mood at this time and needed to find a place to vent.
"Of course there's a place for wine." Lin Hu's answer was very unnutritious.
"Damn! I didn't expect this rain to fall everywhere, damn it! ”
Lin Hu and Yun Xiaotian walked side by side, holding black oilcloth umbrellas, in the narrower and narrower streets.
The Drew, which is usually bustling with people, is extraordinarily quiet under the rain.
All kinds of bricks, walls, stone tiles of different heights, densely packed together, shoulder to shoulder, leaving no extra gaps.
Compared with the quiet and elegant, antique and exclusive corner of the sea moon just now, it is simply a world of difference.
I didn't know that the sewer was blocked on the side of the road, and the drain kept spitting out, like a drunk man, lying on the side of the road and spitting, exuding a fishy smell.
It's not so much a street, it's more like a narrow aisle.
In the aisles, there are very few people.
The only ones are just some company employees who have just gotten off work, or stinky feet who have returned from an adventure from nowhere, fully armed and with vicissitudes of life.
Anything shiny and glamorous will look out of place here.
This heavy rain is a good time.
Most people don't have umbrellas with them.
Or if you bring an umbrella, you will have already returned to your warm home.
They were the only ones left, these unforeseen people, who deserved to be drenched in the rain.
Fortunately, in the Drew district, the houses are crowded and airtight, and there is not too much wind and rain coming in.
With Yun Xiaotian in mind, Lin Hu continued to walk forward.
Lin Hu didn't speak, just walked indifferently.
Yun Xiaotian kept looking at the strange world around him.
He carefully avoided the women who were wearing heavy makeup and revealing clothes in the two rooms of the road, standing with umbrellas, and soliciting customers.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the two walked into a bar called "Heart of the Styx".
The bar was noisy and crowded inside. It's all about drinking wine, bragging and chatting with each other, all kinds of characters in Haiti.
Men and women are mixed, all kinds of people, and they are profligate.
The man laughed loudly, and the woman responded with a coquettish smile, all mixed in Yun Xiaotian's ears. Everyone here seems to be full of smiles and happiness.
But in Yun Xiaotian's opinion, these smiles are so vain and false.
But here, even the most false happiness seems to be extraordinarily precious. These people, who are powerless in life, hold on to their last meaning of existence.
It's as if here, they're alive.
"Xiaoice, two cups of the Heart of the Styx, my one plus a little more." Lin Hu said loudly to a young waitress in a crimson dress.
"Okay, Brother Tiger."
"You wait, it's right away."
Yun Xiaotian and Lin Hu sat in front of the bar, holding their cheeks with one hand, looking a little bored.
"Who is this little brother?"
A sloppy old man grabbed Lin Hu with one hand and Yun Xiaotian with the other, turning the bored two around.
"You haven't died in the Blood Willow Hill yet, turned into tree fertilizer?" Lin Hu looked up and replied disdainfully
"My new brother, you can call him Xiaotian."
"You kid, you know how to curse you and I will die."
"I'm sad, I've always taken care of you."
The sloppy old man looked sad, but he didn't look like it at all, it was very funny, Yun Xiaotian couldn't hold back his laughter.
"You dare to call yourself my son! If my dad hears it, you can't cramp and peel it illegally! ”
"If you're going to take care of me, tell me the recipe for Heart of Styx."
"Don't worry, I can afford it. I don't have much else right now, but I have a lot of money. ”
Lin Hu has coveted the recipe for the Heart of Styx for a long time.
"That's the cost of my food, no, no." The sloppy old man was very short of breath and refused sharply.
"Otherwise, I'll give you my daughter."
"Xiaoice, what a good, watery girl!"
"Daddy......!"
Xiaoice held two glasses of light blue wine in his hand, and there was a faint white smoke on them, psychedelic and enchanting.
"Ignore you!" Xiaoice in the old man's mouth threw two glasses of wine to Lin Hu and Yun Xiaotian, and left angrily.
"Hehe, my girl is good at everything, but she's a little shy." The old man laughed.
"My name is Zhao Wude, and my friends in the light area of the Heart of the Styx call me Hades."
"Haha...... Lao Tzu is actually called the King of Hades! ”
"Funny? Lao Tzu, I have thin arms and thin legs, and I can actually be called a king. ”
"Little friend, just call me Lao Zhao."
Lao Zhao looked very approachable, but Yun Xiaotian didn't dare to underestimate him at all.
"I recently got a batch of goods, I'm interested in taking a look, but they're all some fine products."
I've heard someone say how rich they are, and they can't afford to buy them all. ”
Zhao Wude patted Lin Hu on the shoulder, and pulled the two of them to a passage in the bar regardless of it, not giving the two a chance to drink and refuse.
With two teenagers, Lao Zhao turned around and soon came to a metal gate.
He pushed the two of them aside, cautiously, figuring out that he was tinkering with the lock in front of the door.
I heard a "bang", and the metal door slowly opened.
"Come in, what are you doing in a daze?" The old man waved his hand and shouted.
"Yes, it's all my treasure." Lao Zhao said with a smile, he has always been very proud of the collection in front of him.
"As long as you marry my daughter, these things will be yours in the future."
"That's all I have." The old man continued to tempt.
Yun Xiaotian looked at the four walls of the smooth silver alloy shelves, full of all kinds of weapons, although he was not very sure, he had a gut feeling that these might be original energy weapons.
"If you like anything, take it down and give it a try." The old man laughed.
"The Black Tiger Devouring Dragon Knife of the Nine Stars is not expensive, 100,000 Federation Black Crystal Coins." Lin Hu picked up a three-foot-nine-inch big knife covered in black color, and the old man said slowly.
The price of the old man's newspaper is actually not expensive.
The price of 100,000 federal black crystal coins is not low, and ordinary people dare not think about it. But the Origin Weapon is already priceless, not to mention the Nine-Star Origin Weapon, which is hard to find. One hundred thousand federal black crystal coins, in Lin Hu's opinion, may just be the price of the old man's body.
If this knife meets the right buyer, the price may not be more than ten times higher.
"It's really not expensive, I bought it." Lin Hu said lightly.
But in his heart, he was actually roaring angrily: "Damn, ......, I've been bleeding all the time today, I haven't earned a dime, and I'm trying to forget to spend money." It's not a good show, and it must be stopped immediately. ”
"Master Zhao, how do you sell this Origin Gun?" Yun Xiaotian asked out loud with a light blue Origin Gun in his hand.
"Samsung's Bihai Jintao series of original energy guns, with your current strength, you don't need physical bullets, you can only shoot at most by relying on original energy stimulation. I'll give you thirty rounds of ammunition, for a total of 500 Sombra. ”
"I can't do less, and if I don't have it, I'll lose."
"Yes." Yun Xiaotian saw Lin Hu nodding and understood that this price was acceptable.
"Where's this sword?" Yun Xiaotian pointed to the wall, a three-foot-three-inch sea-blue exquisite sword.
"This is not cheap, it was built by He Yan, the master of Seiko in the north of Fire Rock City, although it is only seven stars, but the price is not as good as a nine-star origin weapon. If something hadn't gone wrong, this would have been a Radiant Moon-level Origin Energy Saber that could also be used by Star Warriors. ”
"If you like it, I'll count you with 100,000 black crystals." The old man's face does not change color.
But he shouted in his heart, "You can't afford it." At this price, I lost a lot. If Xiao Nizi Zhao Bingxin can't get married, he will lose a lot of money. But what the truth is, only he knows.
"This is 200,000 Black Crystal Coins, you order." Yun Xiaotian stirred up the light blue origin, and the ring in his hand flashed a faint blue light.
With a "bang", two metal boxes flew out along the blue light and hit the ground.
Yun Xiaotian opened the metal box, revealing the black crystal coin inside.
"Young man, so daring, aren't you afraid that I will kill you all here?" The old man smiled, the deep wrinkles on his sallow old face were like sharp knives, and he looked at the two of them with a nonchalant smile.
"I believe in you." Yun Xiaotian said lightly.
"Hahaha, trust me? What a good joke, anyone actually believes me? The old man seemed to have heard the best joke in the world, and he really laughed.
Lin Hu was already a great enemy at this time, ready to fight for his life at any time.
Yun Xiaotian knew that he had really done something wrong.
During this time, he was too relaxed, and he became so casual when he started doing things.
"Haha, don't be afraid, isn't it just a space ring?"
"If it had been twenty years earlier, without Xiaoice, you might not have been able to get out of here today."
"But old man, it's old now."
"When you're old, you don't like tossing, you just do business honestly."
Seeing that the two of them were still facing the enemy, the old man looked at him vigilantly, and smiled slightly bitterly, he wanted to make a joke, but he was helpless at this time.
"Is there anything else to buy? Don't buy people, don't waste my time, old man. ”
Zhao Laohan was a little angry.
"What kind of eyes are you, kid!"
"I really want to move you, you can still walk out there, and you don't even have any bones left for me to eat." Seeing that Lin Hu was still looking at him suspiciously, the old man was furious.
He just wanted to scare them, but he never thought that they would be so suspicious.
"Lao Zhao, thank you." Lin Hu put his mind at ease.
Obviously, if the old man really had any intentions for them, he and Yun Xiaotian really didn't have a chance at all.
"Humph!" The old man didn't buy it.
"Be very careful when you go out to walk"
"It is necessary to know that wealth is not exposed, and people are like tigers, and people's hearts are like tigers."
"When I look at you, you're a young kid. You have taken your own life, and you don't care. Don't hurt others, and be unlucky with you. The old man pointed at Yun Xiaotian and scolded sharply, not polite at all.
"You really think my nickname "Hades" is a joke! Hey. ”
The old man's temperament changed instantly at this time, and he no longer looked like a lewd old man, and his powerful qi seemed to be like a mountain and a sea, oppressing Yun Xiaotian's heart trembling.
"Go back to the bar." The Immortal laughed and dragged the two back to the bar.
Along the way, the old man Zhao Wude kept grinning and laughing, as if he had just encountered something very interesting.
