"Leah's tour group !!", Ankers looked at his sister, his eyes blinked, and he couldn't react for a while. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing her brother's puzzled expression, Anria squinted her eyes, her mouth pursed high, and her small hand pinched the flesh on Ankers' waist.

"Ah, Leah, my brother is wrong, Leah don't pinch anymore, I'll buy it, can't I buy it", Ankers couldn't bear it the most, that is, his sister pinched the flesh on his waist, so every time Anx wanted to show his brother's majesty and educate his sister, Anya would use this trick, and Ankers immediately disarmed and surrendered.

Anria pinched for a while before letting go, but her hand was still on her waist, and then she stared at Anx, her mouth bulging, and her other hand in her waist.

And Ankers sighed, "Leah, the performance fee of that tour group is very expensive, and there is no children's discount ticket, if two people go to see it, our efforts in the past three years have been in vain, aren't we planning to go to the capital, and when the time comes, it will be good to go to the capital."

When Anria heard this, she was immediately unhappy, pulled Anx's clothes and twisted around, and then hugged Ankers tightly, with a posture of not letting go if she didn't agree, and looked at Anx with a face full of grievances and was very distressed.

"I don't care, I must go! I must go! You promised me, you can't go back, it's a big deal that I have to go alone"

"No", Ankers replied with a tough attitude, but then saw his sister's aggrieved expression, and suddenly felt that he was wrong.

Ankers wiped his sister's eyes with his hand, "Okay, I'll go with you to see it."

"Great!", after Anja heard Ankers's words, her tears disappeared at once, and Anria threw herself on Ankes, "I knew that my brother was the best for me"

After speaking, before Anx could react, he sat down on the table and ate breakfast, humming a song while eating, looking very happy.

Ankers didn't get angry when he saw Anria so happy. just smiled helplessly, and then tidied up the clothes that were messed up by my sister and walked out the door.

At this time, Ankes, who was walking on the street, slightly accelerated his pace, although the sky of Maple Leaf Town was already bright, but there were not many pedestrians on the street, and the shops on both sides of the street had just opened.

In front of some bakeries, a few pedestrians were leisurely eating breakfast, and only Anx was the busiest on the whole street.

The houses on both sides of the street are lined up neatly, and there are two rows of maple trees planted on both sides of the street, and it is autumn and winter, and the red maple leaves are slowly falling, which is very easy to indulge in.

But the materials of the houses are different. For example, the house where Ankers lives is made of traditional wood, which is very unsafe, and there is a risk of collapse due to disrepair.

And there are also houses made of smooth marble, which match the morning sun of Maple Town, and the dazzling white light adds a lot of brilliance to these houses, and Ankers will show a look of envy every time he passes by.

However, these are not eye-catching buildings, the most eye-catching thing in the entire Maple Town is a tower-like building outside Maple Town, and a red fork and a golden sword can be clearly seen at the top of the tower.

The sword passed through the middle of the red cross, and Ankers knew that the symbol represented the Hunters' Guild.

The tower-like exterior exudes a pale golden glow, which, combined with the light, gives it a very holy feel, and Ankers visits the building every time he goes out.

At this moment, Ankes, who was about to cross the street, suddenly sounded a horn behind him. When Ankers heard the horn, he didn't hesitate and immediately leaned aside.

Immediately I saw a car wrapped in iron sheets drive by, and there were two pitch-black iron pipes on both sides of the iron car, one end of the round pipe extended backwards, constantly spewing gray mist, and the other section was gathered in front of the iron car, and there was a white stone.

The white stone was slightly larger than Ankes's head, and it constantly vibrated with gases that erupted backwards along the pitch-black metal tube.

In Ankers' impression, this iron-wrapped car is called a steam locomotive, this kind of steam locomotive that does not need to be pulled by horses at all, and can run by itself only appeared in Maple Town a few years ago, owned by the largest landowner in Maple Town, the wealthy Kevier, and there is only one in the entire Maple Leaf Town.

The steam locomotive was very expensive, and it required a black stone to run, as Ankers had heard his boss boast about buying one with the money he had earned in his tavern for a year.

It seems to be called a magic cloud stone, and Anx can't imagine what kind of mentality it is to spend so much money to buy a stone, and in the end use it is used to make this iron monster run.

Ankers swore he had seen Kivir cough more than once when he came out of the tin monster.

Anx watched the steam locomotive drive by, a black mist rushed towards his face, Anx hurriedly covered his nose with his hand, and then coughed violently a few times.

"Damn it, my clothes", Ankers patted his clothes that had turned gray from the passing of the steam locomotive, and said viciously, "It's better that Kevir old bastard died in that tin monster"

After grumbling for a few steps, Ankers quickened his pace, and the figure quickly disappeared at the end of the road.

As soon as the door of the tavern was pushed open, there was a sound of falling bottles under the bar counter of the bar, and then a fat uncle stood up.

The uncle blushed and shook his head very steadily, one hand on the bar, the other hand stretched underneath, but Anx didn't need to look to know that that hand must be holding a wine bottle, because there was still a trace of liquid left in the corner of the uncle's mouth.

The uncle stammered to welcome the visitor, his face was still a little nervous, "Huan... Happy, welcome to the Old Burr Tavern, the Old Burr Tavern ........."

"Okay, Uncle Burr, it's me, don't worry, no one has found out your secret", it was Anx who pushed the door in, and when he pushed the door in, Anx didn't forget to pat the dust on his body.

When Burr found someone coming, he breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person sat down in the chair again, and then grabbed the bottle in his hand and took a big sip.

"It's you kid, do you know what time it is, you're late, well, how much, I'll calculate, 1... 2, minutes, hours, no, think about it, it's seconds, yes, Anks, you kid is a few seconds late, I'm going to deduct your salary"

Ankers looked at Uncle Burr who was already drunk speechlessly, "Really, is it really good to be so drunk early in the morning, although Aunt Lily went to the royal capital ---- Weil City to buy goods, but it is hard to guarantee that she will not come back suddenly because she forgot to take something like last time, uncle, are you really drunk so drunk?"

"You kid, don't threaten me with her, it's useless, okay, you hurry up and get to work, people will be busy in a while", although Burr was hard, but when he heard Lily's name, his attitude obviously softened unconsciously, waved his hand, and motioned for Anx to go to work.

"Okay, I'm not here now", Ankers walked to the back of the bar and took out a black bow to tie around his neck, and at this time, Ankes, who suddenly remembered something, looked at Uncle Burr.

"Uncle Burr, is my steak ready?"

"It's ready, at Hawke's, you get it for him when you get off work", with that, Burr poured another long sip of wine, burped a big wine in satisfaction, and then began to snore while holding the bottle.

Ankers looked at Uncle Burr helplessly, and knew that it was useless to say anything next, "Okay, the steak money will be deducted from the salary you owe me"

Ankers walked into the kitchen and saw a middle-aged man in pure white clothes and pants, with a high hat on his head, methodically processing various ingredients and processing them into semi-finished products.

Hawke is the chef of this tavern, he is in his 50s, and he is still alone, and Ankers is usually a full-time waiter when Hawke is there. Hawke's cooking skills are one of the best in Maple Leaf Town.

In his early years, Hawke studied at a well-known restaurant in Vale City, and later after coming to Maple Leaf Town, he came to work as a chef at the Old Burr Tavern, and at least more than half of the guests at the Old Burr Tavern came for Hawke's cooking skills. Ankers also didn't know how Uncle Burr had hired Hawke to be his cook.

"Uncle Hawke, have you made my steak?"

Hawke stopped what he was doing, twisted his head to Anks, and then pointed to the side with his hand, "Well, it's in the paper bag over there, the seasoning hasn't been matched yet, you can look at the match yourself", after saying that, Hawk continued to process his ingredients.

Ankers saw the paper bag on the table next to him, smiled, and began to prepare the spices.

Ankers had studied cooking with Hawke for a while, so how to mix these seasonings clearly, Ankers quickly took out the seasonings from the dozen spice boxes of different colors in front of him and put them into the bowl, and poured a little more steak sauce that Old Burr specially bought from the city of Val.

"Uncle Hawke, you went there again yesterday, are you old enough to eat?"

Every time Ankers came to work, he would tease Hawke a few words, because Hawke always asked for leave every once in a while, and the length of time was different, and every time Hawke was away, Ankers had to be a full-time waiter and cook, which made Anx scramble.

For this reason, Ankers asked Hawke more than once, but Hawke refused to say whether he was alive or dead, even if he was drunk, he kept his mouth shut, and Ankers had to maliciously guess that Hawke must have gone to some unpleasant place.

The Old Burr Tavern is located at the southern end of Maple Town, opposite the office of the Maple Town Government, and is a prosperous place in Maple Town.

The fact that the Old Burr Tavern can be opened in this place is enough to see that Burr's strength is not as simple as it seems.

The tavern is made of pure white marble, and the interior of the tavern is built in the style of a medieval mercenary tavern, and is small in size, but full of tables.

Burr maximized the space of the tavern to fit 30 tables, but in this way, the tavern was still overcrowded every day.

This is not only because the wine in the Old Burr Tavern is good and cheap, but also because there is only one tavern in the whole tavern.

Today, however, everything is so unusual.

The Old Burr Tavern was empty, and Ankers and Chef Hawke sat at the table, watching the door of the tavern dozing.

A gust of autumn wind blew on the bell on the door, making a burst of sound, and the usually idle and piercing bell sound was like a hypnotic magic sound at this time.

"Ah!!h

"It's so comfortable, well, Ankers, why didn't you wake me up, my money hasn't been confiscated, if Lily finds out I'll be miserable."

Burr hurriedly got up, "What's the situation, why is there no one?"

Burr looked at the empty tavern in disbelief, and Burr hurried to the outside of the tavern, seeing that the road that had been busy with traffic was now only two puppies passing by.

The government on the other side is even more closed, giving people a very strange feeling, as if all the people in Maple Leaf Town have disappeared overnight.

At this time, a few maple leaves blew outside the door, which happened to fall on the heads of Anx and Old Hawke, who were napping at this time.

Old Burr looked at the two people who were squinting and shaking their heads, and he trembled with anger, "Ann! Ke! !!!"

"Ah, is there anyone, come to ...... with a drink", the two of them were suddenly awakened by Burr's roar.

"What a welcome, why don't there be any guests in the tavern"

Hawke was already a little stammering, but at this time, he was stared at by Burr, and he was even more nervous, "Old... Old... Plate ......"

Ankers looked at Hawke for a long time and didn't say why, and stretched out his hands helplessly.

"Uncle Burr, even if you ask so, we don't know, there are no two figures on the street, and there is no way to ask"

"Hmm!", Burr, who was originally furious, was stunned for a moment after hearing Ankers's words.

"That's the case, then what are you still sitting here doing, don't let me go out to inquire about the news"

Ankers looked at the clock on the side, [it's time to find Scar", thinking of this, Ankers jumped out of his chair and ran into the kitchen, putting the steak and the sauce that had been prepared into a cloth bag.

Before Burr could say anything, the bell at the door rang with a crisp sound, as if he was afraid of Burr's return

Burr laughed and scolded, "This kid, you don't need to be so fast"
