Chapter 1: Last Words
Caspero City is located in the northwestern part of the federation in the Z district, a total of 24 administrative districts of the federation, which are ranked from A to Z in terms of prosperity, population prosperity and danger. Zone Z is basically distributed in the borderlands, most of them are adjacent to the hardest-hit areas, whenever the monsters in the hard-hit areas riot, there are often a few names that disappear into the long list of Z districts, while in the northwest, Z districts are mainly composed of three cities.
Jade Gate City, Rob Town, and Caspero City.
These three cities are like pearls dotted on the desert in the vast mountains and rivers in the northwest, among which Yumen City is located in the northernmost part, where there is only a vast Gobi Desert from the hard-hit area, and Luobu Town is located in the eastern area below Yumen City, separated by 100,000 mountains, looking endlessly, among them, Caspero City is located between the two, like a sharp horn, it is like a long sword of gold, straight into the westernmost part of the Federation, and the hard-hit area is only separated by two huge canyons.
Among them, only Jade Gate City, heavily guarded by the Federation, because in the other two cities, the Abyss Race is dozens of times larger than that of humans.
Between the three cities, there is the General Military Region of the Four Abyss Legions stationed in the Z District of the Federation.
Caspero City is an ancient and brilliant city, in the past hundred years, it has experienced several hard-hit monster sieges, countless Federation warriors bravely sacrificed their lives, but it still survived, and with time to grow, to this day, it is several times more than the area of the other two cities combined.
In the past hundred years, countless people and the Abyss race have used their flesh and blood to forge every brick and tile of this city, so in Caspero City, there is no restraint and caution like the other two cities, so war has no magic power for racial integration.
On September 9, the fiftieth anniversary of the establishment of the Union was commemorated, because of the war, because of the chaos, there was so much bloodshed in this fiftieth anniversary, and the old faces were quickly replaced by new ones, but on the next anniversary, those new faces had become the old faces, and so on.
The city of Caspero is also preparing for the 50th anniversary of the Confederation, so that the entire Confederation can see the unique beauty of the city in a week.
For the abyss region, too much or too little atmosphere for the preparation of the 50th anniversary of the Federation will affect them, and a hundred years of getting along, assimilation and integration are the mainstream.
At the junction of the abyss area and the human area of Caspero City, a tavern called Dog Whistle is open as usual, because of someone's influence, the most lively tavern in the entire Caspero City is the Dog Whistle Tavern, not only that, Yan Wei followed someone's advice and moved the Dog Whistle Tavern from the depths of the abyss area to the human border, which is unimaginable for Yan Wei, who has been running the Dog Whistle Tavern for decades.
After all, it is the place where the human area and the abyss region meet, and the housing prices here are hard to find.
The Dog's Whistle Tavern is still fully wooden, and the outside is decorated with the whole giant logs, and on either side of the doorway, there are two ancient stone sculptures, one of a human and the other of a demon. The interior of the tavern also walks in the old abyss style, this style has a kind of elegance and sense of space from a hundred years ago, Northern Ireland decoration, there is a retro feeling of English gentleman taste in the details, the wall is still decorated with bones, not only that, an abyss dragon tooth is placed on the bar in the middle, and the one-meter-long fangs bring a mysterious temperament to the lazy beauty next to him.
When night falls, the warm yellow light in the tavern will shine through the cracks in the wooden planks of the walls, and when you stand from a distance, the whole dog whistle tavern looks like a mysterious witch hidden in the depths of the forest, full of the smell of time, or a human brave man bravely exploring the ancient cave with a faint torch.
Pushing the door in, the cold air outside was blown away by the bustle in the tavern for a moment, and the rows of booths against the wooden wall were already filled, and on the medium-sized dance floor on the left, several night elves with fiery bodies and elegant temperaments were swaying their waists to the extremely slow rhythm of the music. Among the humanoid females of the abyss, the females of the Night Elves have an innate elegance of elves, but compared to real elves, they have a sense of depravity and dust in the world, they are like mellow wine hidden in the depths of the alley at midnight, making male creatures want to stop.
Vulgar, but never kitsch, after all, they are also elves.
On the right are booths of all sizes, and in each aisle there are tavern attendants carrying glasses of wine back and forth.
Further ahead is the bar, the pure wooden bar is more than five meters long, the wooden shelves on the back wall are full of dazzling drinks, among which there are a few bottles of Moutai in the upper left corner, under the illumination of several magic lights at the top of the bar, a pale yellow light element elf is playing and playing.
"A last word, thank you." A man in an earthy yellow jeans jacket and a hat that looked like a western cowboy let out a low taste, because of the hood, he could only see the stubble cheeks, and one hand was tapping lightly on the bar, looking inside the bar.
It was a bartender with black hair, who looked slender, as tall as a middle school student, with a sense of youth, her long hair was like a waterfall, her skin was as white and tender as milk, and her appearance looked extremely pure, at this time she heard a low voice in front of her, she was like a little rabbit, the majesty of her chest and heart were startled, she tossed a few times, and then felt that she was a little rude, her immature and soft black eyes with the desire to inspire any male creature, first nodded in a hurry, Then he hurriedly turned around and went to make a drink.
"Heh, how can this tavern let elementary school students come to bartend, it's not a loss that the succubus opened it." A first-born demon with two horns, sharp faces, sharp teeth, and a thin figure sat there and muttered in a low voice, his face was ruddy, as if he had drunk too much, and at this time, a pair of demon eyes swept over the bartender who looked like a middle school student from time to time, especially the butterfly bone with a hint of bone and a sense of greenness.
The man in the hat swept the two-horned demon across the customers, and a trace of disdain flashed in his invisible vision, and in his eyes, the slender and weak, young black-haired girl who was mixing drinks for himself on the other side carried a mortal danger in her body.
But what does this have to do with him, he just came to drink, by the way to learn about the customs of the frontier land, the man in the hat listened to the noise around him, he took out a set of tarot cards with demon patterns from his pocket, and played by himself.
"I've heard that the top 10 of humanity are ready for the Bloody Challenge!"
"Not ready! Yes, you can definitely win! Beat him up as a mother! "There was a voice like this coming from a table, and it sounded like a human being in the voice and tone.
The Dog Whistle Tavern welcomes all sapient beings, whether humans or abyssal creatures, and that's not just what someone means, but what Grace means.
Yan Wei thinks that the tavern is for drinking, and there is no species on the wine table, only drinkers. Of course, there was a lot of trouble when this was implemented at the beginning, and someone's hand-shaking shopkeeper was really a hands-off shopkeeper, the biggest dispute directly led to the destruction of half of the tavern, dozens of human beings died tragically, and the abyss side also paid the lives of several big demons, if it weren't for the pure body of the top twelve, the dog whistle tavern would not be able to open at all.
I have to say that since the appearance of the Impure Body, all the guests who came to drink here have been much more honest.
"It is said that the background of this tavern is the Lord of the Impure Body, is it really fake?" An orc man dressed in the fur of an unknown creature hummed, his muscles like that of a dragon, and he was two meters tall when he sat there.
"Little brother, you just came to this plane from the abyss, let me tell you, don't look at this tavern as the best tavern in the abyss Demon Heaven City, Immortal, but I can tell you, even the owner of the Immortal Tavern would not dare to stab here!" An equally burly orc man said, his brass bell-like eyes tinged with a hint of drunkenness.
"Is it so tough? We orcs admire the strong the most! ”
"Don't talk nonsense! Fuck ...... Cup! ”
"Your drink...... The drinks are ready......" The black-haired little Lori in the bar carefully held a wine glass in the shape of a skull, her voice was glutinous, like a soft rice cake on the table, she put the wine glass on the bar and immediately withdrew her hand, looking a little scared.
"Thank you." The man in the hat had a gentle voice in his voice, he stretched out his other hand full of scars, held the wine glass firmly with his fingers, and looked at the wine that showed a gray color inside, the tone of his last words was really not flattering, not only that, but there seemed to be a faint death air permeating it.
"The last words can only be called the last words when they add the hard work of the abyss demon ape, and the hard work of the abyss demon ape can be kept for a hundred years and will not be cooled, so the last word is a cup of hot wine, but people who drink it for the first time are always accustomed to thinking that the wine is cold, so when they drink the last word, they will always worry that the wine will be cold, just like the real last word, either they are worried that they can't say it, or they are worried that it will be cold after speaking."
"The first time I drank it, it was the same as my last words, full of different feelings." The man in the hat muttered to himself as he drank.
Obviously, his words attracted the attention of the black-haired little Lori in the bar, but the black-haired little Lori kept her head down and wiped a glass crystal cup, the smooth cup seemed to make her small and fleshy hands play with flowers.
The man in the hat smiled casually, he didn't care, and played the palm-sized tarot cards with one hand nimbly, and the cards were like living creatures, turning out all kinds of flower shapes in his hands, and then they seemed to turn into butterflies, flying around his hands.
The black-haired little Lori was slowly attracted to her gaze, her big watery eyes were full of curiosity, and then as if she thought of something, her cheeks turned red and she lowered her head and continued to wash the cup.
"I am a traveler, a seeker of truth, a true master of divination, don't you want to know your future fate?" The man in the hat seems to have a soft spot for this little black-haired loli.
The black-haired little Lori's ears shook slightly after hearing the word "fate", and then raised her little face to look at the pile of flying cards, slightly distracted.
"Pick one, and I'll read it for you."
The black-haired little Lori stretched out her white hand, and a card landed firmly in her hand, covering her palm, and then she put the card on the bar. The man in the hat showed a hint of a smile, and after opening it, he was slightly stunned at first, and then praised the black-haired little Lori:
"This is the first wheel of fortune that I have opened in Caspero City."
