Chapter 293: Sacrifice (2)
"The wheels are rolling and we're never sure. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" - the frontispiece of the second volume of "Historical Text".
"A glass of milk?" Putting down the crystal glass that had almost slipped out of his calloused hands, the old waiter pushed the rusty monocle that had flown away with the light and looked carefully at the person in front of him with his unclear eyes, "Are you sure you want a glass of milk, this guest?"
"Hmm. In the middle of a noisy bar, the man in a hooded robe quietly replied, "I said I wanted a glass of milk." Seeing the old waiter's embarrassed expression, he fumbled for a moment in his wide robe, and pressed a shiny object lightly against the table.
"This coin is ......"
"I want a glass of milk. This is the third time he repeats this phrase.
"Your milk, please use it slowly. The old waiter changed his face this time, and immediately respectfully offered the goblet.
"Good. Ignoring the surprised looks of the people around him, he picked up the glass, took a sip of the sweet *** in it, and then walked to the corner of the tavern and sat down at the last empty table.
"Who is he?" said the robed man, who had turned flushed with alcohol, surrounded the bar again, and most of them stared intently at the gold coin.
It wasn't an ordinary gold coin.
The old attendant looked at the crowd, and one thought after another flashed through his mind.
The reaction of the drinkers was somewhat unusual, and I am afraid that it would have made a big deal at any other time? perhaps they were confused by the man's luxurious clothes and perfect voice? no, it would only increase their anger as usual.
So, the reason.
The surrounding magical elements began to get restless.
- That's right.
The old waiter, who had stopped thinking, quietly put the gold in his arms, and then said a sentence to prevaricate the drunkards who might make trouble at any time:
"That one......" he pushed his glasses again, keeping his little eyes as wide as possible, "probably a big man." ”
......

Nestled under the towering Herwin Mountains and in the most fertile Pierreve Valley in the West, the city has excellent natural conditions to ensure its survival, while the population growth has led to economic growth. As a result of the rapid development of agriculture and commerce, the city of Sunset, the imperial capital of the Northwater Empire, is one of the largest and most prosperous cities in the northwest of the continent.
"Drive!" the galloping carriage drove down the wide street, occasionally avoiding pedestrians on either side. This is a relatively remote road in the south of the city, rarely visited by people during the day, but at night, the bright lights and the hustle and bustle of the world envelop it in its arms.
"This is the famous 'bar corridor' in the city of sunset, but it is not at all as spectacular as imagined?" The young man in front of him lifted the curtain of the car with his left hand, leaned his arm against the window, and his childish face was full of doubts and curiosity.
Among the many rumors in this vast land, the spectacular sight of the 'bar corridor' in the city of sunset is second only to the legend of war that can make the blood of teenagers excited. However, as he said, the "bar street" in front of him really has nothing to do with "spectacular".
Throwing the letter paper with only a few lines of words in my hand to the corner of the carriage, looking at the young man's shining clear eyes, I suddenly had a desire to take the entrance examination for this young man. Perhaps this is the "consciousness of being an elder", and it seems that I am indeed "old" when I am over 30 years old.
"There are three reasons for this. The thought flashed through my head, and I decided to put a kind smile on my pale face, but it seemed that it would not work out anyway, "Do you want to guess?" I finally asked with a blank face.
"yes! Uh-huh...... I knew you were going to let me answer it myself. Sensing his rudeness, he gave me a sly smile in return, "Then what's the reward for me getting it right?"
"You kid has learned to bargain with me, well, if you can talk about it, how about you pick my own things?" While secretly praising his growth, I casually glanced at the "bunch" on my body, which was enough to make anyone stop and cast envious eyes, and also made me walk with some laborious "bits and pieces":
Fifteen sparkling pearls from the peninsula, each meticulously carved by skilled craftsmen to depict a fantasy scene entwined with a sea of clouds, twenty emeralds from the "Gem Mountains" are cut into neat hexagons with a breathtaking glow, and thirty aquamarines, which are regarded as the best in the land of the blue sea and used only for diplomatic purposes, reveal a transcendent aura when decorated with the surrounding gold.
These three "necklaces" are threaded with silver threads and are placed in the gentle embrace of the silk of the Western Continent, and the silk threads of various thicknesses are embroidered on a black background in different techniques. It may be just a masterpiece of the painter's imagination, but no one can find the slightest disobedience, and it is this robe that really took a lot of my attention.
Not only aesthetic needs, but also defense?
It seems to have unexpectedly turned into a bad joke.
"Ha......" I felt a hint of tiredness rush over me, and I couldn't help but yawn.
Of course, this is not all I have to wear, but the dozens of bracelets on my right wrist that alternate between gold, silver, bright blue, and pure white, and the six rings set with different precious stones on my left hand, all show the extent of their owners' wealth.
It's really dazzling enough, but the effect is really good, and it's really tiring to wear.
"I don't want this nouveau riche dress. "In the face of my promise, this kid looked aggrieved, and it was clear that he was still the young man he was when I first met two years ago, in fact, when I was the only one who knew me well, he always spoke without scruples. That's one of the reasons I love this kid. "What I longed for was the armor that covered the whole body, and the rust and sword marks on the simple steel, which were the most beautiful ornaments of this era. ”
His face has a dedication and enthusiasm that is appropriate for this age.
"Phew, you're talking about knights. I took a deep breath, it seems that the growth of the young man in front of me is still a little beyond my expectations, and what I didn't expect is that even after following me for three years and seeing the vastness of the world, he has not forgotten his original ideal. Maybe that's why I chose him?
