213 Venice Night Market (Part I)
The spirits were led by the old man into a very empty space in the shape of an arch.
"That's it, behind this door is my house, and since my son died at the hands of those monsters outside, I'm the only one living here."
The old man pointed to the only iron gate on it and said, and then stepped forward to open the iron door, and the spirits and the two soldiers also followed the old man into the iron gate, and the scene behind the iron gate also shocked the spirits, and behind the very simple door actually hid a decoration like a medieval aristocracy.
"Hahaha! This is also the old man's only hobby, right, these are all I asked and found someone to collect, how about it? Not bad, right? ”
The old man walked up to the spirits like a naughty child and said with open arms.
"Well, it's very good, it doesn't feel bad compared to the Swan Castle in China."
A white-haired girl looked around and replied, and several girls behind him nodded in agreement, and the old man smiled very happily.
"Haha! Finally someone said it was good! Those old bastards always say that I'm weird here, and you're the first to say that I have good taste, old man! ”
As he spoke, the old man slowly walked over to the fireplace, which he didn't know if it was just for decoration or the real fireplace, and brought out a blue wine bottle with a very shabby packaging, but the whole bottle was still very smooth, and slowly walked to the table next to the sofa made of the fur of some unknown creatures.
"Come on! For the sake of those of you who share my philosophy, this time I have a heavy hemorrhage, and I have never opened the brandy intact! Hahahaha! ”
As he spoke, the old man was about to open the bottle of brandy, which seemed to be his treasure for a long time, when one hand suddenly grasped his hand that had wanted to uncork the bottle.
"Huh? Kid, what's wrong?? ”
"Grandpa, this is a treasure that doesn't need to be used in trouble, what do you think of this bottle of wine and this vodka? What do you think of coming as our rent for tonight? ”
It turned out that the person who grabbed the old man's hand was a blade armor, and at this time he smiled and shook the two wine bottles in his hand, and the old man was stunned for a moment, and then he also laughed and put down the bottle of brandy in his hand that was about to be opened.
"Good, good, good! Then listen to you, these two bottles of wine, and I'll be your rent for tonight! ”
"Ahem, grandpa, you're mistaken, it's not two bottles, it's two boxes."
Then, under the old man's bewildered gaze, Blade Armor took out two large boxes of wine and vodka, and the spirits behind him were also confused, but they didn't expect Blade Armor to hide so much wine.
"Sister, how could you ?????????????"
"Huh? These? Oh, it's all random collections, and I still have a lot of yo. ”
As he spoke, Blade Armor took out more wine chests and barrels, as well as some dried meat and preserved fruits that could be stored for a long time.
"Aha! Kid, can you allow me to take this fine red sausage that you treasure? ”
"It's okay, old man, you have to take it if you like it."
After the blade armor finished speaking, the old man also happily took out a red sausage from the pile of food that the blade armor stored at any time.
"Well, the best smoked red sausages are still grilled over charcoal from birch trees, hahaha! I remember the last time I ate real red sausage was when I was five years old. ”
The old man sniffed the red sausage and smiled like a child, he took a bite of the red sausage lightly, and then vigorously knocked the vodka handed by the blade armor to the guest table and drank it in a big gulp.
"Ah, that's right, the best red sausage should be paired with this good bottle of vodka!"
Looking at the old man's heroic eating appearance, all the spirits could only smile, and the two soldiers could only look at the old man's heroic eating appearance with envy.
"That's right, children, I'll take you to visit Venice at night tonight, if you come to Venice and haven't seen Venice at night, it's almost the same as coming to Venice in vain, so put all the things that are inconvenient for you to carry here, and we can have a good meal in the night market when we set off now!"
The old man who had eaten a section of red sausage suddenly remembered something, immediately turned down his buttocks sitting on the guest table, and then patted and beckoned the spirits to go out to the night market together.
"It's okay, I think everyone is almost hungry."
"Wow! You can eat the food you've never tasted before! ”
"Well, I don't know what the taste of that blind shrimp is, the information says that the meat is very delicious and smooth."
"Alright then, put all the extra supplies at the old man's place first, let's go visit this Venice night market."
The spirits don't object, anyway, they won't be able to leave Venice until tomorrow at the earliest, and the two soldiers don't care, they just lead the way, even if the spirits stay here for half a month, they don't care, anyway, their status is also a captive now.
"Let's go, then! Hahaha! I'll lead the way, sir, let's go, children, sir, I'll take you to the night market in Venice. ”
With that, the old man strode out of the room, and the spirits took a look and followed the old man's pace, and the two soldiers also put their AK rifles and backpacks in the corner of the room, and followed with only their own pistols for self-defense.
Under the guidance of the old man, the spirits walked in this dense underground with a dense water network, and then they heard the noisy sound in front of them, and probably guessed that the night market was almost in front.
Sure enough, it didn't take long to see a large group of lively and lively shops of all kinds of simple construction densely packed into a huge underground vaulted space, and there was a passage leading to the top around it, which was actually used to be surrounded by various small bars and restaurants, and it looked like a dwarf city in the magic world.
"Wow! It's so lively here. ”
"That's a lot of people!"
"Huh? The goods are quite complete, huh?! ”
The spirits were also surprised to look at the night market where everything was sold, daily necessities, armor backpacks, map information, as well as drinks and food, arms and ammunition, it was really difficult to find anything that was not sold in this night market, and even saw a few small bookstores.
"Hahaha! What do you think? Didn't expect that, right? Also! After all, this is where Venice's greatest advantage is realized, the extensive water network allows Venetian merchants to go wherever they want, and the southernmost and northernmost parts of the island can be seen armed Venetian merchants selling goods everywhere. ”
"And the specialties of the various gathering places and major forces will also gather in this small place of Venice, as long as you can afford the bullets, those guys can get what you want to you as quickly as possible, even if you want those tamed monsters, they will help you get them."
The old man also happily introduced to the spirits the reason why Venice is so prosperous, if you want to get rich first build roads, this is the best way for countries to become great powers, before the opening of the Second World Hans can be almost instantaneously extricated from the economic crisis, and the large-scale road construction nationwide is one of the reasons.
Venice does not need to build roads, it can do the same with this innate water network, and even Hanni envies Venice's prosperous water network, and it is for this reason.
Venice can also control itself independently under the siege of the major forces, after all, none of the major forces wants this important place to be controlled by other forces, so Venice has insisted on independence until now under this prosperous and strange balance.
