Chapter 238: The Man in the Restaurant

Outside a restaurant in Xuanniao City, Augustine looked inside with a puzzled gaze: "Grandpa, can you really find out a lot of news here?"

"But this restaurant is quite interesting, completely different from the taverns in our world," Augustine said slowly in his heart as he watched the sound of eating and cheering inside.

The years have passed, and I thought that things that could be solved in three days did not expect to be delayed for ten days. After confirming that Gu Yuan was not in danger of being exposed for a short period of time in the past ten days, Augustine hurried to Xuanniao City. The last time I was in a hurry, I didn't look carefully at the layout of Xuanniao City, and at this time, I had a rare opportunity and naturally took a closer look.

The juggling of the streets, the bustle of the bazaar, and the style of the city's buildings all made Augustine's heart ripple.

For example, this restaurant is obviously the same business as the tavern. But there was no Miaoman's dancing and vulgar shouting, but an old man, standing in the innermost and babbling without knowing what he was talking about. From time to time, there is a full house of applause.

Jia Changsheng didn't reply, just listened slowly in the ring, and a sense of unknown familiarity rose in his heart. Perhaps this is the longing for home.

"It is said that there is a clan called the Ghost Clan, and they call themselves the Netherworld. They are in the middle of the void and the real, and the gods and ghosts are unpredictable. According to ancient legends, all the people of the Youyou tribe are beautiful. I heard that one person learned about this and went to the secluded capital alone. Ask the king of you to give a princess or a maidservant girl as a wife in person. The king of Youwang was impressed by that person's popularity, and really gave it to a maidservant. The man returned to my human race and married the servant girl, and when she was busy, the servant girl turned from real to void, and turned into a cloud of ghostly light with her. Serve at night. The man's wife is doing everything good, but the food is full, and the family is getting more and more peaceful......"

The old man standing in the innermost part said in a low voice, the story turned a thousand times, and the people around him were fascinated.

After a while, everyone gathered in this restaurant, ordering wine and food, listening to the story, and reluctantly leaving for a long time.

Augustine subconsciously walked inside, as if attracted by the story. A young man dressed as a junior cleansed the table and chairs and greeted him: "Please come inside the guest officer."

Looking at the enthusiastic little two, Augustine came back to his senses from the story and nodded at him.

Follow Xiao Er to a table and chair and slowly sit down, Xiao Er didn't ask much, brought a pot of tea and turned to leave.

Looking at the departing Xiao Er, Augustine looked at him with a hint of puzzlement, and asked in his heart: "Why do I always feel strange about the people in this restaurant?"

"Strange?" Jia Changsheng asked, following Augustine's words.

Augustine looked around: "No singing and dancing, no spirits. It's still called a restaurant?"

"Shouldn't the guests be busy selling good wine and food when they come here?" Augustine asked Jia Changsheng in his heart.

Jia Changsheng smiled a little, and replied meaningfully to Augustine: "Maybe in their eyes, you are a strange person if you ask like this."

Hearing the deep meaning of Jia Changsheng's words, Augustine kept silent. After all, this is another world, and differences in living habits should be very normal. I had this feeling in the Xiaoshi tribe at the beginning, but the time was still short and I didn't savor it.

Thinking of this, he dispelled all the distracting thoughts, and continued to listen carefully.

Seeing that the contents of the house were becoming scarce, the man could not bear to cry out to his wife. The wife returned to her parents' house in a fit of rage and joined the four brothers to make a noise. The man was originally strong and strong, but since he married the wife of this ghost clan, he has become thinner and thinner, and how can he fight when he sees his wife coming with four brothers. I can only hurriedly ask for help from the sorcerer. But I don't want the man to be a step slower after all, and be swallowed by the angry phantom clan."

"Poor young man, because of curiosity, married the daughter of the ghost clan, and ended up like this"

The old man sighed and said, causing everyone to cheer in unison.

"Twenty years ago, the You Race launched a sneak attack on our Terran Race, slaughtering 100,000 old and weak women and children of our Terran Race.

"The people of the ghost tribe are ruthless, and the women in the ghost tribe are even more so, even if they are related to my human race and love each other, they will swallow that person in one bite because of some trivial things"

"The so-called Phantom Clan is just a lackey of the Bone Clan"

The sound of abuse came like a tide, instantly resounding in every corner of the restaurant.

The old man bowed to the crowd and turned to the back of the lobby.

Seeing the old man walking away, everyone called Xiao Er, and one after another the delicacies were brought up by Xiao Er and placed on the tables of those who had not yet eaten.

Smelling the aroma of the rice, a voice came to Augustine's ears: "Everyone in the world is intoxicated, and who knows the grievances between the human race and the ghost race?"

"Who knows, who knows" The voice spread, and everyone frowned. But they seemed to understand the identity of the person who spoke, and although they were a little displeased, they still endured it.

Augustine looked in the direction from which the voice came and saw a middle-aged man with a disheveled hair sitting at the table next to him. Because of the long hair covering his face, he did not see his face clearly.

This person was full of alcohol, and people couldn't help frowning.

As if feeling that his actions were out of step with the others, the man not only did not stop his voice, but raised his head and poured strong wine: "What is the twenty years of blood feud? Those who know dare not speak, and those who listen dare not believe it, so they say some absurd things."

"How sad it is for the human race now," the man said, putting the drunken wine in his hand on the table, holding the table with both hands and staggering, he stood up.

His legs went limp, and he threw himself on the table again.

"Bang Dang"

There was a crisp sound when the wine bottle hit the ground, followed by the man's unbridled laughter, and the whole restaurant was filled with sadness in an instant.

As if fleeing the plague, the crowd rushed out without worrying about eating.

The juniors also watched the man hide far away and kept shaking his head.

Augustine watched this scene and suddenly a sense of familiarity arose. This is very similar to what he faced when he was in the Imperial Capital of Youyan. Although his status is noble, because of the affairs of his mother, others avoid him like a plague. If it weren't for the Supreme Lord God of Darkness using his supreme divine power to descend himself on the Little Stone Division, he might be living a life like this person at this time.

Although the man's face was disheveled, Augustine could clearly feel the contempt and sadness in his eyes. Propping up the table with both hands, he struggled to stand up. Without saying a word, he staggered out.

Augustine thought for a moment, left a few copper coins issued by Xuanniao City, turned around and walked out slowly. Perhaps it is precisely because of this feeling of empathy that he has a great sense of sympathy for such a situation.

Maybe this is a man with many stories, and if it weren't for the danger that Gu Yuan is facing, maybe he will make friends with him. But for Augustine, he didn't have that time. It seems that the news of the magic crystal mine can only be found from the city lord.
