Chapter 20: The Heroic Tale of the Old Style

After a few days of calm, Castlevania arrived at the Wawen Station. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After passing the routine inspection and coming out of the parking lot, Guns N' Rose, Blue Knife and Ice Maiden took Lin Yuedong, Ikoma and Nameless all the way through the streets and alleys to a small building on the avenue in front of the castle tower.

Looking at the signboard hanging on the three-story building in front of him, which was rare in this era, Lin Yuedong read with some puzzlement: "Geye Izakaya? In such an era, there is still an izakaya? …… You can't open it, right? ”

As mentioned in the original work, rice in this world has long been impossible to grow, where does this wine come from? Even if it is ale wine or fruit wine, you can get wheat and fruit to make wine from the tight food situation, this luxury of ignoring people's livelihood, how can it feel a little similar to the tea leaves in Castlevania.

Guns Rose smiled: "Yes, every year the shogunate gives us a lot of wine and tea, anyway, it's still there, it's better to take it out and give it to everyone to drink." ”

"You really drove it, huh? I'll go, this shogunate is really ......" Lin Yuedong didn't know what to say. In the era when it was difficult for human beings to protect themselves, these people still had the leisure to make wine and grow tea, and it was really not wrong to let Tianniao Meima kill them in the end.

"They're too extravagant! When people can't even afford to eat, how can they still make these things? Ikoma said angrily.

"That's what Mr. Lin said, the right of the strong." Nameless put his hands behind his head and said easily.

"Even if it's the right of the strong, it's too much! Maybe a lot of people will starve to death because of this! Ikoma said angrily.

"Then it's not about rights." Lin Yuedong chuckled, "You can think about it yourself, what makes you feel inappropriate, just take it as the exam question I gave you." - So, are we going to have a drink here before we go to headquarters? Or is this your headquarters? ”

Gunshot Rose smiled: "That's right! Let me introduce you to the headquarters of the Exorcist Alliance! ”

"Headquarters Izakaya?" You are the seventh heaven!

"Don't be limited to the form, as long as the headquarters of the Exorcist Alliance is a place where everyone can gather, and making it an izakaya is just the right place for everyone to relax and fight all the way, killing two birds with one stone." Blue Knife walked past the crowd to the door, "Alright, don't stand stupidly outside, let's go in and have a drink." ”

As he spoke, he patted his right hand on a soul stone embedded on the right side of the gate, and the soul stone emitted a faint light, and the door automatically opened to both sides.

"This mechanism ......" Lin Yuedong could see at a glance that this was a specially designed structure that only the soul stone could open the door, that is to say, only superpowers could open the door, "It means that ordinary people are not allowed to enter?" ”

"That's right, the headquarters of the Exorcist Alliance, only superpowered people can enter." Gunshot Rose replied.

A few people followed behind Blue Knife, and Yukan walked into the izakaya.

This izakaya is not much different from what Lin Yuedong has seen on earth before, there is a long bar on the right hand side of the entrance, several tables and corresponding chairs are placed on the left hand side and opposite, some potted plants are dotted between the halls, and there are pothos hanging down from the ceiling, which is quite leisurely.

At this time, the store was empty, and there was no one behind the bar, so it looked as if it was not open.

"I'll go to the alliance leader to report the situation first, Blue Knife, Ice Girl, you two treat them well." Gunshot Rose turned a blind eye and commanded.

"Don't worry, it's on the Ice Girl." The blue knife slapped his chest, like a heroic guarantee.

"Hey, what about yourself? It's really rare to be so lazy and upright people. Lin Yuedong complained.

Blue Knife smiled brightly, looking not ashamed but proud.

Guns N'Rose didn't take a fancy to him, glared at him, and turned to go upstairs.

Still expressionless, the Ice Girl silently walked behind the bar, took a bottle of ale from the shelf, and poured a glass for each of the four.

"Don't you drink it yourself?" Lin Yuedong asked.

The Ice Girl shook her head lightly and flicked herself a glass of water from the side.

"She's like that, she never drinks anything other than water, as if it's poisonous." Blue Dao winked at Lin Yuedong, "Don't worry about this guy who has no interest in life, come, cheers, celebrate our safe return!" ”

"Cheers!" ””

The four of them chatted while drinking, and the phrase "entering the alley" was called "the alley that is being said", and the guns and roses appeared on the stairs.

"Lin Yuedong, the alliance leader wants to see you, do you want to come?" She asked.

"Okay, I'd like to meet him too." Lin Yuedong agreed. Being able to meet with the powerful people of the Exorcist Alliance should be very helpful for the next plan to use the Exorcist Alliance.

"Come on, this private room." Gunshot Rose said.

Lin Yuedong followed the guidance of Guns and Roses, pushed open the door of a private room, and walked in.

Inside the private room, a man with short silver hair, wearing a black bodysuit, a red scarf around his neck, and a red forehead guard on his forehead, was shaking a wine glass. To Lin Yuedong's surprise, there was a flame above the liquid surface in the wine glass...... Flowing.

It's hard to describe, and the flame is like a fluid, dangling in the glass as the man shakes, making a wonderful circular trajectory.

Being able to use the flame to this extent, it is clear that this person's strength is very strong.

"Lin Yuedong?" The man saw Lin Yuedong come in, put the wine glass on the table, and got up to greet him. The moment he left his hand, the flames went out, "I am the leader of the Exorcist Alliance, Pyro. ”

"Hello, I'm Lin Yuedong. On the way, I heard the guns and roses they mentioned you many times, and you are famous and thunderous. Lin Yuedong said with a smile.

"Haha, I'm a vain name, thanks to them bragging for me." Pyro laughed and gestured to the chair opposite, "Sit." I heard Guns N' Roses say, you also have ice superpowers? ”

"Yes." Lin Yuedong sat down and answered.

"Great." Pyro rubbed his hands together and looked happy, "There aren't many superpowers like us these days, and it's always nice to have one more companion." So, albeit a bit suddenly, would you like to join the Exorcist Alliance? ”

"Join the Alliance?" Lin Yuedong was stunned for a moment, and then realized that since this alliance is an alliance of superpowers, of course all superpowers want to absorb it, "It's not that it can't be done." But can you tell me a little bit about the alliance first? For example, how it was founded, when it was founded, who the members are, what they are currently doing, and so on. ”

How did this organization that was not in the plot come about, and how much the previous world changed, for Lin Yuedong, it was something that must be figured out.

"Of course you can, in fact, you don't have to ask me to say this." Pyro snapped his fingers, and a flame appeared in the air, "Let's start with the formation of the Alliance. The first to spearhead the formation of the Exorcist Alliance was a woman who called herself a demon. ”

With his words, the flame gradually changed into a woman's face in the air, which looked quite beautiful.

"This is the devil." Pyro introduced.

"It looks pretty good." Lin Yuedong said curiously, "Why did she name herself a demon?" ”

Pyro said with some nostalgia: "She often said that if Kabane is a demon in hell, then we should be a demon more terrible than the demon before we can sweep it away." Therefore, she calls herself a demon, and the name of Juncheng of the Exorcist Alliance is also derived from her name. ”

Lin Yuedong said: "Hmm, then she established the Exorcist Alliance to ......"

Pyro said: "Just like the name of the alliance, it is to gather all the superpowers, protect the civilians, expel Kabane, and restore the world to a clean place." ”

"But that's not what Guns N'Roses said." Lin Yuedong remembered very well that Guns Rose said that the Exorcist Alliance was gathered for the soul stones, and the purpose was not noble at all.

"She's saying we're coming together to make it easier to get soul stones, right?" Pyro smiled, "In a sense, it's not wrong, the current Exorcist Alliance does only exist for the sake of soul stones." ”

"The Exorcist Alliance now?" Lin Yuedong noticed the implicit meaning of his words, "Are the past and present Exorcist Alliances different? ”

Pyro held up a finger: "Speaking of which, in fact, the composition of the personnel has not changed much. The only difference, and the biggest difference, is the disappearance of the demon. ”

"The demon is missing?" Lin Yuedong repeated, with a questioning tone. The person who can create such an alliance is not bad in strength and vision, so it shouldn't be so easy to have an accident.

"Yes. But let's start at the beginning. "The demon was a very gifted woman, and she knew how to get things done. She discovered the role of Star Stone and Soul Stone, she taught me how to control fire, let Gun Rose learn to use a gun, taught Blue Knife to use knife energy, and even gave us our code name...... It is no exaggeration to say that she single-handedly created the Exorcist Alliance.

"She's incredibly important to the league and to us. At that time, she was everything, leading us forward, and we just followed her by the rules. To this day, the Exorcist Alliance has not gone beyond her framework. You have to admit that it's very comfortable to have such a leader. ”

"Perhaps, but the drawbacks are just as obvious." Lin Yuedong pointed out, "The result of a single-core team leader is that when this core disappears, everything is over." ”

"That's right." Pyro smiled wryly, "Now that I think about it, if Guns N' Roses and I could cheer up a little bit at that time, maybe everything would be different...... Anyway, we were booming, expanding from five to seventeen people in ten days, getting a lot of money from the shogunate, buying the bar, and even booking Castlevania with the Castlevania.

"On the eleventh day, the demon disappeared."

He let out a long sigh, "I still remember that day. The tide of Kabane came and we were forced to retreat, losing Inkman, losing Chainsaw Sweetheart...... Then the devil stepped forward. She dragged all the Kabanes alone, and we were able to withdraw to the Ubunyi without any incident, but we never saw her return. ”

"It's an old-fashioned heroic story." Lin Yuedong also sighed slightly, "In that case, she should be dead, right?" ”

"No one wants to admit she's dead, Mr. Lin, no one." Pyro said lightly.

“…… Sorry, my bad. Lin Yuedong apologized.

"Nothing." Pyro took a deep breath, "The more disappointing things are to come. At the height of the fighting, we warned them three times to withdraw to the Ubunyi, but they just clung to the fields they had carved out outside the city. As a result, when we were defeated and returned to the Ubun Station......"

"The civilians accuse you of failing to defend Kabane and causing them heavy losses." Lin Yuedong could guess what happened later with his toes.

"How do you know?" Pyro said with some surprise.

"There are only two things that are universally applicable, one is the wisdom of genius and the other is the stupidity of mortals. I've seen this happen too much. Lin Yuedong said philosopherically.

"Perhaps......" Pyro smiled wryly, "Anyway, we have been disheartened ever since, and we have vowed to never fight for the interests of others again, but only to live for ourselves, and the Exorcist Alliance has gradually become what it is today." It's ironic that now we don't fight for them, they are asking for us. ”

"The stupidity of mortals lies in this, and if you don't lose it, you will never know how precious it is." Lin Yuedong said.

"Makes sense." Pyro agreed, "Anyway, the Exorcist Alliance has become what it is today, and we can't change what has happened. Now, do you want to join? ”

"I'm joining." Lin Yuedong said clearly.
