Chapter Seventy-Four: Milk Oysters
"Why don't you give me this time? you have nothing to do, I have a lot to do. Suddenly, Richard's voice sounded in his head.
After thinking for a moment, Charles relinquished control of his body, and he also wanted to know what the other self was going to do in this situation.
Charles's confused expression was immediately replaced by exaggerated ecstasy, and he kicked his feet on the ground, flew into the air, and then jumped directly onto the roof with the help of the shoulder of a laborer next to him.
Stepping on the roof and quickly turning a few streets, Richard rushes into a neon-lit bar that is the largest bar in the port area, "Carnival Night"
He danced to the bar and pulled out his black blade and tapped it lightly on a small metal clock. "Ding~!"
Everyone in the bar looked up at the bar with curiosity, and everyone who was drinking knew what the sound meant.
"Guys, I'll pay for everyone's drinks today!!Everyone's cheer me up!!"
The cheers of all the crew inside the bar almost toppled the roof.
Richard laughed as he threw his arms around a scantily clad hostess and drank the wine from her tray.
Compared with the indifferent Charles, the cheerful Richard seems to be very good at making friends.
Although they had only just met, it didn't take long for him to get to know most of the people in the bar.
The joke he told made everyone present laugh.
The little coin magic trick he performed surprised the people next to him.
Even in order to show off, he handed all kinds of relics to other drinkers to play with, and the atmosphere of the whole bar was mobilized by him, and everyone centered on him.
Charles's controlled left eye calmly looked at himself laughing in the reflection on the glass of the wine glass.
In the reflection of the wine glass, the distorted smiling face was more like crying, and in an instant, Charles resonated with Richard for the first time, after all, everyone wanted to go home Gao Zhiming, but the reaction was different.
"Hahaha!!" Charles seemed to think of something happy, patted his thigh and laughed wildly, laughing until tears flowed out at the end.
The distorted reflection of Charles in the wine glass was lifted and poured into the pitch-black mouth.
After a glass of wine, Charles's consciousness gradually disappeared under the influence of alcohol.
I don't know how long it took, but Charles, who had a splitting headache, woke up again, and the scenery in front of him was still a little dizzy, and he knocked on the left side of his head, and his vision finally returned to normal.
At this time, he realized that he was lying on a rope, and under the rope were drunken drunkards and staggered seats.
With his hands on the rope, Charles stepped on the crew on the ground and walked out of the bar door.
Charles sipped his dry mouth and asked in his mind, "How?
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm tired, I want to rest!"
It seems that this guy's method is not very effective, the corners of Charles's mouth are slightly raised, his feet are raised to blend into the flow of people, and the thoughts in his mind are constantly diverging.
"How did I rest on the surface, playing on my phone, playing video games, arguing with my sister?"
"When I first arrived at Earthsea, I remember that I used to go to bars with other sailors to drink and chat. At that time, I was new and curious about everything here, but when did I start to become so impatient?"
Charles's gaze lifted to the pitch-black dome above him.
It was as if when I realized that I was not the chosen one, that I was going to die here at any time, that I realized that my hope of returning home was becoming more and more confused, that inner torment made my heart more and more anxious. ”
"But now, I've finally found my way home, but I don't know if it's out there or not. ”
Charles hurriedly shook his head, throwing out the questions he was thinking in his head, he came out to relax, and he didn't want to do this today.
When Charles came back to his senses, he found himself leaving the port area with the flow of people and coming to the bustling island.
Seeing the bonfires on the street, Charles remembered that today is the landing festival on Coral Island, and every island will celebrate the day of the occupation of the island as a major holiday, and Coral Island happens to be today.
It is a joyous festival where the islanders come out to celebrate in their best clothes, and the joyful mood is contagious to everyone, and everyone is happy and brisk.
The musicians on the roadside played the violin, blew the trumpet, beat the drums, and the islanders surrounded them, and those who could dance were dancing, and those who couldn't were appreciating the dancers with extraordinary enthusiasm.
Charles walked slowly forward with the flow of people, looking at the festive atmosphere of laughter and laughter, he seemed to be infected by them.
This kind of festival reminds him of the Spring Festival inexplicably, but there are fewer firecrackers and red.
"Coo~" The sound of his stomach brought Charles back to his senses, he had been drinking all last night, and he was a little hungry now.
Charles walked to a roadside stall, took out four echoes to buy a spider crab leg, opened the shell with his hand and ate it.
The grilled crab meat is very chewy, and when you put the snow-white crab meat in your mouth, you will be filled with the flavor of the crab meat.
A crab leg didn't have much meat, but it opened Charles's stomach, and his eyes looked around, looking for his next target.
Soon the smell of milk in the air caught his attention, and Charles followed the smell to a stall, where a fat old man with a white beard was holding two shovels and quickly stirring the fresh milk and oysters on the iron plate.
Looking at the familiar face, Charles said, "Give me one." ”
"Okay, please wait, it's okay right away. Old John moved quickly in his hand, and after a few seconds, he suddenly felt that the voice was a little familiar, and when he looked up, he suddenly showed an excited smile on his face. "Hah, Captain, long time no see!"
Looking at the former first mate, Charles pointed to the small stall in front of him, "Didn't you go ashore to retire?"
"Well, you know my character, and the money was sent to the casino and the girls' bed before it was hot in my hand. But don't underestimate my small stall, I will calculate that I will earn more than I go to sea!!"
Glancing at the patch on his trouser leg, Charles nodded as if he hadn't seen it. "That's good. At least not life-threatening. ”
Old John crossed his waist and said again: "I heard that you really bought an exploration ship? Is there still a shortage of crew on the ship? It's not that I'm short of money, but I feel that the sea is still interesting, this island is really boring, when the people on the island hear that I have been out to sea, they all look down on me, damn it, I went to sea to be a crew, not to be a pirate!"
Charles paused for a second and shook his head, "Sorry, the ship is full. ”
He didn't want old John to take any chances, maybe a little poorer on the island, but at least he would live to old age.
Old John showed disappointment on his face, and then immediately retracted, and said with a nonchalant face: "That's okay, I'll just ask casually, you wait, your portion of milk oysters will be fine soon." ”
