Mohler and Ahlers only felt as if a whole century had passed.

Fan Jin finished the last sip, he looked at the empty goblet playfully, and threw it hard in the direction of the gate, the cup drew a cold arc in the air, hit the wall, and smashed to pieces.

"Is this what you call "good wine"? Something to take out and use as atonement? ”

When the two of them entered the house, Fan Jin had just finished taking a shower, his bare feet rubbed each other, and he took his eyes away from the shards of glass all over the floor, and shifted his gaze to the pale-faced Ahler, who looked meaningfully for a few seconds, and then shifted the focus of his gaze again, firmly staring at the trembling Mole, his eyes were almost completely covered, and his gaze was cold.

Allers summoned all his courage and brought his half-kneeling body upright. His voice was dry, and he didn't seem to know what to say: "Your Excellency, I really don't mean to provoke you on purpose. I just want to ......"

"Enough! You shut up! ”

This is obviously not the answer Fan Jin wants. He hates people speculating about his thoughts and then saying inexplicable nonsense. Although Ahlers's actions were full of sincerity, they angered Fan Jin. Like a fat cat whose tail has been trampled on, he grabbed the pillow placed beside him, smashed it viciously at Alles, and roared furiously: "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut the fuck up! There's no place for you to talk here. Believe it or not, Lao Tzu, this is going to ask someone to tie your dog's mouth with wire? I'm going to smash your teeth! I'm going to cut out your tongue! Guy with a long mouth, shut up--"

Ahler's face suddenly turned pale, and he couldn't help but shudder, and immediately lowered his head and said nothing.

After venting his anger, Fan Jin's face was already flushed. He gasped violently, and his fat body was like a ball that was constantly bulging and shrinking between retracting and deflating. He picked his toes with his fingers very indecently, and spat at Ahler, and then refocused his attention on Moller, who was completely lying on the ground and did not dare to come out.

"Boy, that glass of wine just now was pretty good."

The waiter next to him was a close confidant of Moeller, and he gave a cigarette at a very timely time, Moeller took the light, took a deep breath, and his fierce expression eased a lot. He raised his voice at Moeller: "According to what you did just now, bring me another drink!" ”

……

It wasn't until dawn that Moller and Ahlers dragged their tired steps back to the Silver Arrow tavern.

This past night felt like it was teetering on the brink of death. The two of them were almost scared to death, but things finally took a turn for the better, and the wealthy merchant Moeller was so happy with the cocktail that he readily agreed: the "Silver Arrow" tavern could be branded with its own sign in the future, and it could also get a part of the special merchandise franchise.

The hustle and bustle of the night is only silenced during the day. The sun had just risen for less than an hour, many people were still asleep, there were only a few rats in the empty streets looking for food unscrupulously, and the "Silver Arrow" tavern did not open early or anything like that, however, when Mole and Alers pushed open the door and walked into the front hall, they saw Su Hao sitting on a chair in front of the bar, looking at them calmly.

The sunlight shining in from the window was very soft, forming a slightly orange halo on Su Hao's face. Despite the tattered clothes, the skin above the neck was extremely smooth, with a very comfortable crystalline texture, and the black eyes kept turning on both Mole and Ahler, and the sides of the lips were slightly upturned, revealing a graceful curvature.

"You should have a good harvest."

Before Ahlers could speak, Su Hao had already spoken first: "That chubby merchant has a good taste in wine, if I guess correctly, he should like that wine very much." ”

Moeller opened his mouth to speak, but subconsciously glanced at the burly Ales next to him, retracted the words very appropriately, and found a chair to sit down. Although he was silent, his gaze kept changing.

"That 'red flame' is the result of your careful research. ”

Su Hao ignored Ahler, and directly pointed the conversation at Moeller: "I think, in the hotel, you should say this." Let me guess, you also told the fat merchant that you were very interested in bartending, and that this "red flame" was specially concocted by you according to the changes between different types of liquor. It's a great recipe, but you have some other great ideas for a cocktail. It's just that you didn't bring the materials, you have to come back to prepare first, tonight, or this afternoon, the distinguished guest will come here, or you bring the materials and go directly to the hotel to provide special services for him. Moeller, you're a smart guy, and you want to take advantage of this opportunity to get out of Redstone. It's safe to stay with that high roller and you don't have to worry about anything else. Spending a lot of money every year to support a professional bartender with a lot of personality is not an easy opportunity to come across. Hehe, is that so? ”

Moeller raised his head abruptly and stared at Su Hao with a sinister gaze. Obviously, those words just now were not wrong, they were all in Mohler's mind and what he was preparing to put into action.

"You're a complete idiot!"

Su Hao glanced at Mo Ler, and said lightly: "You are not good at hiding your thoughts, and you are used to writing all the qiē on your face." You were planning to run away last night, but you saw hope in me. Admittedly, you're a crazy gambler, and that cocktail is a chance for you. Actually, you could have had the option of leaving with the recipe I taught you and going somewhere else to make a living. It's a unique kind of wine that you can use to make a name for yourself in the big city, and maybe you can wash your past records and become a well-paid, happy free man again, instead of asking to be someone else's slave as you are now. ”

Moeller was visibly stunned, and the fierce light in his eyes immediately diminished a lot. Su Hao's words are not casual words, everyone knows that when you are a dog for others, where will you be free and happy? It is indeed very safe to be by the side of the wealthy businessman Fan Jin, and the treatment will not be too bad, but he must act according to the face of the master.

How did I not think of leaving last night?

This guy is right, a bartender with great skill and unique recipes who can mix well anywhere.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but I didn't seize it and let it slip away in vain.

Looking at Moeller, whose eyes were full of remorse and unconsciously clenched his teeth, the ridicule and ridicule on Su Hao's face became thicker and thicker: "It's not uncommon for smart people to do stupid things. Besides, Moeller, you're not smart at all. You're greedy, and you're stupid. Let me guess what you're thinking right now: you're going to grab me, clean it up, and dig more concoction recipes out of my mouth, right? You don't mind intimidating me by cutting a few holes in me with a knife or cutting off a part of my body. A lot of people know that you're not very good at bartending, but I know more about it than anyone else. To avoid revealing your feet, you're going to be hollowing out all the recipes from me before you finish me off. Is that so? ”

Moeller's eyes lit up with hatred and resentment. He sat up straight unnaturally, his right hand resting on his waist. The people in Redstone carry weapons like daggers. Although the idea has not yet become a reality, it always makes Moeller feel embarrassed to be said so mercilessly. He was already holding the handle of the dagger behind him, and his eyes scanned back and forth over Su Hao's body, looking for the most suitable part to stab the other party on the spot.

"If I were you, just sit there, take your hand off the knife, and listen carefully to what I'm going to say."

Su Hao didn't care about the fierce Moeller. His words were cold: "Kill me, and you won't get anything." Without the formula, you won't be able to account for that big man, and the beautiful aura you just put on your body will become a noose around your neck. As for coercion and the like, it is even more stupid. Different wines, in different quantities, will have a chemical reaction with each other. Delicious food can become poison because of an added substance. Cocktails are no exception. Do you want me to mix you a glass of "Red Flame" now? The material is still the one I taught you yesterday. Ahlers is also here, and he testifies that if you drink it, you will surely die in half an hour. ”

As he spoke, Su Hao shifted his gaze to Alyss and smiled faintly.

"In terms of identity, you are my boss and the person who gave me a way out of life when I was in the most difficult time." The concept of the word "good guy" can be as narrow as it is broad. In a narrow sense, there is not a single good person in this city. Either a liar, or a man with blood on his hands, or all sorts of criminals and villains. I've killed people, but the biggest difference between me and others is that I have to pay it back. I would have starved to death, and despite the low salary you paid me, it was a personal favor after all. ”

Ahlers slowly pinched his fingers, his stiff body relaxed. He sat in his chair like a black mountain, and there was a hint of a smile on his rude and savage face, except that the two scars on his left eye were particularly eye-catching.

"I like the way you talk and I like dealing with smart people like you. Yes, before I walked through this door, I thought about using a lot of ways to deal with you: grab it and pull out the teeth one by one, play a game with a small bamboo stick and your fingers, or chop off a thigh, chop it up and make it into a fresh kebab...... You know a lot of things, they work, and they are valuable. Moller, the bastard, is a fool, but a fool is always more obedient than a smart man. A clever bartender is enough, and if you don't want to say it, I have a way to get you to talk. ”

Su Hao was not afraid of such terrifying words, and still had a charming smile on his face: "This is what you thought before. So what now? ”

"The theory about poison made me change my mind."

Ares frowned, his eyes showing cunning and thoughtfulness: "As far as I intended, I don't really want to deal with you. You're a very nice fellow, and I need someone like you to be obedient and honest. I'm talking about when I usually work in the store. Of course, the act of an honest person stabbing a knife in the back is the most difficult to guard against. I don't want to die an unknown death, and I don't know what your purpose was in my shop. Zachary said you saved him, and I don't think so. But no matter what, now that things have come to this point, I will open the skylight and say something. Boy, I only ask you one thing: Are you my enemy? ”

Su Hao looked at Ares seriously, shook his head, and calmly spit out two words: "No." ”

"That's right!"

Ahler's expression suddenly became excited. He snapped his fingers vigorously, asked Moeller to go to the back of the bar and take out a bottle of brandy, pour it for Su Hao and himself respectively, and grinned: "With this premise, we can have a good talk about things that we care about each other." ”

The brandy was of inferior quality, and before it was eaten, it already smelled a strong, pungent smell. This liquor is blended with industrial raw materials and has a stimulating effect on the brain similar to that of alcohol, but it is damaging to the body. It doesn't hurt to drink less, but drinking more is equivalent to committing suicide with poison.

The people of Redstone are never taboo about this. Good sake made from grain is expensive, and it is not a high-end product that ordinary people can enjoy at all.

"I need your mixology recipe."

Ahler, with a thick nasal voice, said bluntly, "You can pick a few recipes and bring Moller out." I have no interest in your past, and I don't want to know why you're here in Redstone. I only care about the money in my pocket. You make me happy, and I will naturally make you happy. Seriously, I'm not the kind of crazy person who likes to kill, I'm married and have two children. Even if you don't believe the tavernkeeper's words, you should take a father's assurance. ”

This is indeed not a lie. Ahlers did have a wife and children. However, according to Su Hao's private discussions with others, Allers sold his wife as collateral because he owed a large amount of gambling debts. As for the children, they were also sold into brothels.

Su Hao nodded: "No problem." ”

Working with demons is a last resort. With Su Hao's current situation, there is indeed no second choice.

Ales smiled smugly, his face becoming gloomy in an instant: "Now tell me your request." I have to warn you, don't go too far, and don't open your mouth. I hate greedy people, who often die miserably, and although they have a lot of money in their pockets, they don't have that life to enjoy. ”

Su Hao looked at him calmly and smiled: "Don't worry!" I don't want anything that you can afford to have. ”

……

The wind in the wilderness, dry and cold, blew on the face, and there was a pinprick pain.

On the side of a huge rock, Su Hao lay in a crack in the rock that was spacious enough, looking at the wasteland in front of him from a distance through the scope.

Unlike the wasteland that had been set out from the village before, the wasteland in front of me was gray. The soil and rocks are about the same color, there are no rivers, and the plants depend entirely on rain for life. It is very inhospitable and has no cultivation value, and even if the seeds are sown, the harvest on Weibo will not meet the normal demand. Despite this, the ferocious wild wolf pack maintains a fairly large population here. Because, rotting corpses can often be found here, enough for wolves to thrive.

In Red Rock City, Su Hao saw a map. It marked the different areas of the empire's territory from the inside to the outside, the central core was green, then pale green, then yellow, the area where Redstone City was located was already a dry yellow, then outward, there was a very uncomfortable gray, and finally an extremely heavy deep black.

Black and green represent two different forces: humans and dark creatures. Gray and yellow, each belonging to their respective marginal areas.

A thin and tall figure wandered around the wilderness, and was soon locked by Su Hao's scope.

It was a corpse.

According to the official version of the Empire, they were once humans, but they were infected by dark creatures and mutated. Strictly speaking, it is no longer a human being, but a monster with advanced intelligence and the same way of acting as a human being, but its living habits have completely become a monster of dark creatures.

Dulled gaze, Mori Bai's sharp teeth, and large areas of black and purple patches on his body and face. They still have some wisdom and are fairly well-dressed, but they have become beasts that know only fresh flesh and blood.

It soon spotted a litter of rats, which were probably the most abundant animals in the moor. The eyes of the corpse in the scope lit up, and the eyes instantly turned blood-red. It frantically pounced in front of the rat hole, stretched out its hands and dug desperately, its sharp claws became a very good tool, the rat hole was widened in just a few minutes, and the corpse grabbed the crazy rat at a dizzying speed, accompanied by a painful "squeak" sound, directly stuffed into the mouth and chewed, soft internal organs and dirty blood splashed everywhere, making it everywhere.

The Corpse is the last of the dark creatures. According to the classification of human physique on the earth, it is equivalent to a fifth-order strengthened person. However, corpses will also mutate, and their wisdom and body will be fully strengthened. This kind of corpse man will often gather many of his kind into a group and become the king of them.

Su Hao pointed his gun at the corpse man in the distance.

It was a long-range sniper rifle, and the best item Ales could get his hands on.

Of course, Su Hao won't stay in the tavern forever. The arrival of Fan Jin, a wealthy businessman, is an opportunity for Moeller and Ahlers, as well as an opportunity for Su Hao. In order to achieve a win-win situation, Ares provided Su Hao with weapons and equipment, as well as various indispensable points to enter the Dark Hunter Guild. In exchange, Su Hao came up with more than ten cocktail recipes. And promised to continue to provide more if there is a need in this regard.

Without money, it is difficult to move an inch in this world.

The salary of the cousin is only one copper plate per month, even if he works in the "Silver Arrow" for a hundred years, Su Hao will not be able to save enough for the application amount of the Dark Hunter Guild.

He couldn't wait that long.
