Chapter 2: The Otherworldly Tavern
Eleven Cities of Steel, Forest City.
"I have to plan...... Maybe...... It's time to go. ”
A young and handsome man, dressed in a black suit, stood elegantly on the top of a building, sipping the red wine in his glass, looking at the world below and muttering to himself.
His name was Tu Su.
"You...... Not... Really to... Not... Is it beginning?" asked a child's voice, a little lazy.
It was a bloodied boy, thirteen or fourteen years old. nestled on the tattered sofa not far behind Tu Su.
His mouth kept chewing on food, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. It looked like he was eating some kind of food raw, and his tongue occasionally licked the blood on his lips.
His name is Ah Li and he is an orphan who was adopted by Tu Su. Occasionally, you can absorb the power factors that are free between heaven and earth, and thus become a little blood-hungry.
Tu Su shook the red wine glass, took a sip of the red wine in the glass, looked at the beautiful scenery in the distance, didn't know what he was thinking, and then slowly spoke.
"There's news coming out...... This piece of heaven and earth is undergoing unprecedented changes, such as more and more power factors that are free from heaven and earth. Then, it seems that something that is not part of this world is coming. ”
"Hmm... Really?"
Ali blinked his big beautiful eyes and looked at Tu Su.
"That's right, this world is no longer quiet, and it's time for me, too, to gather some people and do what I want. ”
Tu Su drank all the wine in the cup, and then jumped off the hundred-foot tall building, falling lightly to the ground, and disappeared into the crowd of people coming and going.
Before disappearing, he said a word to Ali.
"There are a thousand roads in the world, maybe the path I choose in the future is full of blood and killing, are you willing to go with me? If you want, you know how to contact me. ”
Ah Li looked at the disappeared Tu Su and couldn't help but laugh maniacally.
"Huh... Ha ha... Hee-hee... Haha, I think I'm ...... As long as there's food, it doesn't matter!"
As he spoke, he grabbed a blood-stained human eyeball from the jar next to the sofa, threw it into his mouth, and chewed it.
The Eleven Cities of Steel are composed of eleven cities connected to each other, and the outer side of the Eleventh City of Steel is a lush primeval forest, full of infinite dangers. Even if the Eleventh City of Steel has developed until now, it does not dare to go too deep into this forest.
About seventy kilometers south of the 11th Iron and Steel City is a ruin, a ruin left over from the war hundreds of years ago.
The earth is also strange to say now, with frightening flowers and trees in some places, and lifeless in others.
For example, the ruins just mentioned are only a piece of wreckage.
And in the center of the ruins, there was a sudden ripple of time and space, and the inexplicable power factor was erupting in restlessness.
The range of the ripples of time and space is getting wider and wider, and the inexplicable power factor is raging around it.
Gradually, in the center of the ripples, a dark brown wooden building with a height of three floors appeared, turning from virtual to real, and finally appeared on this ruin, and then the ripples of time and space disappeared.
This building, which appeared out of thin air, has a Chinese style and ancient charm.
On the plaque of its gate, there are four vigorous and powerful characters
"Hill Tavern"
Shortly after the tavern landed, the door creaked open.
Out of it came a beautiful woman in a purple robe, whose appearance is rare in the world. The face of the shy flowers in the closed moon, and the beauty of the sinking fish and geese are less than one-third of hers. She is the owner of the tavern, named Hir Ash.
Cherry's mouth opened slightly, her eyes were probing around, and there was a hint of suspicion.
"Could it be... This is the so-called real world?"
"That's right. ”
A hoarse voice sounded.
An old man walked slowly out of the door. This old man, with white hair and a shawl, and his face is covered with wrinkles one after another, showing the vicissitudes of time. Its eyes are sharp and give people an unfathomable feeling.
The old man was dressed in a linen robe, and in his left hand he was holding a cane made of unknown wood, which radiated a silver glow. In his right hand he was holding a thick book called the Book of Years and History. There is a sepia glow circulating on it, which means that this book is extraordinary.
"Looks like we're the first to arrive!"
"Maybe it's not the case, the two worlds were originally of the same origin, and now they want to merge together, and we are not the only ones who have the initial point of integration. ”
The old man pondered for a moment, then replied affirmatively. There was still a hint of worry in his deep eyes.
"I hope that rumor will not come true. ”
"Grandpa Ulatu, what a rumor. ”
Hill blinked her smart eyes and stared at Uratu, as she never seemed to have heard of any rumors.
Uratu shook his head, said nothing, and stepped into the tavern.
Hill was also bored and went into the tavern as well.
In the tavern, it is very lively.
"Give Lao Tzu another jar of wine. ”
A large, powerful barbarian roared.
Immediately afterwards, a pretty woman dressed sensually, carrying a large jar of fine wine, was brought to the barbarian.
The barbarian raised his hand and picked up the big jar and poured it directly into his mouth, coo, coo.
"Haha, good wine, another jar. ”
"Yes, guest officer. ”
"Did you hear that? The world we live in is not the real world. ”
"What? Lao Tzu has lived on this continent for so long, how is it possible?"
Two red-blooded Yan people were drinking and discussing the truth of this world, and their source was unknown where they came from.
"Why don't you go and ask that person?"
This Yan man stabbed another Yan man and looked at the darkest corner of the tavern.
When the Yan man saw that person, his head shook like a rattle.
"I don't have any money, and I don't want to die. ”
"What's wrong?"
The Yan man didn't know why he reacted so much.
"Brother, you haven't been to this tavern, you probably don't know, since that person came to this tavern, he has released a sentence that as long as there is enough payment, you can buy any information you want to know, absolutely true. And no bargaining. It is also possible to trade information first and pay later. But ......"
"But what?" the Yan man asked eagerly.
"There have been people who have questioned it, and there have been people who have turned their faces and denied it, but ...... Big... Most...... All...... In the blink of an eye, it was gone. ”
"Huh?"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to pay the price! once I open my mouth, it means that the transaction starts ......"
This Yan man trembled as he spoke. Apparently he had experienced such a horrific thing at the scene.
Uratu listened to their conversation, not intentionally, but with too keen hearing.
Uratu looked into the dark corner, where a table had been prepared for the man.
That person didn't have a name, but claimed to be called the black-robed man.
In order to probe the truth of that person, Uratu also personally paid some price to ask some things, and the results corresponded to the history books in his hands.
However, after paying a certain price, the history books could not deduce the identity of that person.
You must know that the level of history books is epic, and they are good at deducing all kinds of things and recording all kinds of secrets.
But the answer that emerges from the history books is.
"The past is chaotic and untraceable. The future is nothing, unexplored......"
