Chapter 5
Kingdom of Ya'an, Stockx.
The Kingdom of Ya'an, located north of the Bryn Mountains and straddling the banks of the Fuda River, is a peaceful country, and war is like another world to its people. In their hearts, they are most concerned about the climate of the year, and if the climate is good, everyone's life will be better.
Ya'an people are natural optimists, and in addition to the weather, they care about the good things in life. Therefore, the culture of Ya'an is the most colorful among the countries in the southern part of the mainland. Because of this, many poets and knights who pursue romance on the mainland will visit Ya'an to appreciate the customs here.
Located at the mouth of the Fuda River, the capital of the Ya'an Kingdom, Styx is the largest seaport city in the Kingdom. The city is best known for its many glass buildings. The Ya'an people's preference for glass is like the Basr people's dedication to height, which can only show that this nation has a longing and yearning for beautiful things, and can also reflect the romantic temperament of the Ya'an people. Stockex is also known as the "City of Glass" because of its numerous glass buildings.
It is now the early summer of the 176th year of the imperial calendar, and it has been more than a year since Li Yuxuan's disappearance. It was nearly noon when Li Yuxuan entered Stex, and the reflection of the glass on the building made him feel a little uncomfortable.
The current Li Yuxuan has a haggard face, a thin body, and the whole person looks quite weak, which cannot be compared with the high-spirited head of the family back then.
In a battle with Xia Donghai a year ago, the powerful Shenlong Heart Technique caused quite serious damage to his body, coupled with his original internal injuries, which were even more serious, almost causing him to lose his life. In the past year, Li Yuxuan drank mountains and rivers in the Ulrika Mountains to quench his thirst, caught wild beasts to satisfy his hunger, and lived a completely savage-like life, especially when internal injuries occurred, the kind of painful situation tortured him to death, and several times he turned back from the edge of death.
When Li Yuxuan saw ordinary people when he walked out of the Ulrika Mountains at the beginning of this year, everyone regarded him as a monster. Scattered with stinking half-black and half-white hair, a tattered outfit, bare feet, especially the five-foot sword behind his back. Eventually, a lonely old man took him in. A month later, Li Yuxuan left the old man's house with ten gold coins and went all the way to the west. He did not forget the last words left by the second elder: "Be careful of the Alps. ”
The origin of the Skull and Bones Society is mysterious, and the assassination a year ago made Li Yuxuan overturn all his previous speculations about the Skull and Bones Society, but it seems more and more mysterious. A hundred years ago, Li Haotian disappeared like a meteor in the golden channel, and today's Li Yuxuan was almost strangled on the shore of Sunset Lake, all of this may be related to the Alps, the holy land of Western martial arts, so what about the Skull Club?
Although Li Yuxuan has now been able to control the pain of the internal injury, and the interval between attacks is getting longer and longer, once the injury occurs, the pain shows no sign of abating, but the trip to the West is imperative.
"'City of Glass' Stex, I love you!" a young man wearing a double knife passed by Li Yuxuan's body with a pot of wine, and the smell of wine made Li Yuxuan, who had not been drunk for nearly a year, couldn't help but swallow the saliva in his mouth.
Angel Restaurant!
Li Yuxuan couldn't help but follow the young man when he saw the young man sway into the restaurant. If you want to find a place to drink, you can't go wrong with a drunkard. Li Yuxuan gently read the words on the signboard of the restaurant, and also stepped into the restaurant.
There are no angels in the restaurant, but there is more than one drunkard. The Ya'an people are also famous for their penchant for wine in the south. All the tables were full, and even the last one was occupied by the young man who had just entered.
When Li Yuxuan saw that there was no place, he secretly screamed a pity, turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by a voice.
"The brother with the sword on his back, come and sit down, let's have a few drinks together!"
First, Li Yuxuan really wanted to drink, and secondly, Li Yuxuan was also a little curious about this young man, the two knives behind him were something he had never seen before. Although Li Yuxuan knew that there was a thin, long and slightly curved knife in the West, he had never seen it with his own eyes. Looking at the young man's blonde hair and pale blue eyes, there was no doubt that he was a Westerner.
Li Yuxuan sat down in front of the young man, who looked to be only twenty-three or four years old, which was older than himself. But Li Yuxuan's face is now dull, his face is extremely unhealthy pale, coupled with the fact that he has lived in the wild in the forest for nearly a year and experienced countless ups and downs, he now looks like he is in his early thirties.
"This old man, can you drink?" the young man was also real, and the first sentence cut to the "theme".
Dude?
Li Yuxuan put a question mark in his heart, but thinking of his current appearance, coupled with his white hair, is it not an old brother or a little brother.
Li Yuxuan secretly smiled bitterly, nodded at the young man opposite, and said, "I don't think it will be less than you!"
Li Yuxuan's voice at this moment was not as clear as before, and his throat had become hoarse because of the long-term torture.
"Man, come here!" the young man beckoned to the guy in the shop, not forgetting to raise the flask in his hand to take a sip.
"What do you command?" the guy is very good, no wonder business here is so prosperous.
"Let's have four catties of good wine first, and bring me some other good dishes you have here, and I want to have a few drinks with this old brother!"
Oh my God, four pounds of wine, it's just a few glasses first!
Although the people of Ya'an are good at the things in the cup, it is rare to have such a amount of wine after all, and the guy saw that this person seemed to be a little drunk, and he couldn't help but glance at Li Yuxuan next to him.
Li Yuxuan nodded at the guy, acquiescing to the "other family's" wine money.
The wine and food were served at once, and the two of them were not ambiguous, and they put together the wine without saying a word. Four catties of wine entered the stomachs of the two of them in less than an hour, which shocked the guests in the restaurant, and they couldn't help but turn their heads to look this way.
What puzzled Li Yuxuan was that the young man opposite him was unconventional, and the more he drank, the more sober he became. The original misty appearance of the eyes disappeared after two catties of wine, and was replaced by a clear and incomparably clear eye, although it was still a face of alcohol, but it definitely did not make people think of a drunkard who was drunk.
"Brother, you've got a good amount of wine! The first thing the young man said after two catties of wine was still inseparable from the word wine.
"Why don't you be happy, I didn't drink a tael less than you. ”
"I mean, you're not straightforward when you drink, not like me!"
In terms of the amount of alcohol, the two may not be able to compare who is more powerful now, but when it comes to the speed of drinking, Li Yuxuan is ashamed of himself. The young man didn't look like he was drinking at all, he was pouring wine into his mouth, and the whole glass was pouring down. If the cup in front of him was replaced with a bowl, Li Yuxuan believed that he would definitely pour the whole bowl into his mouth. Li Yuxuan was born in a wealthy family, although he also has a good amount of alcohol, but he will definitely not be so "refreshing". He always unknowingly drank a terrible drink, and it was impossible to understand what kind of drinker he was. Many of those who drank with him were well aware that he might drink in small sips like that than in his own bowl.
But now the young man in front of Li Yuxuan is different, Li Yuxuan believes that even if he comes two more catties, he will be correct.
"The ancients said to drink wine and taste wine, but if you seem to be pouring wine, how can you understand the meaning of wine?"
"Other people drink wine, but I drink a kind of momentum, and the purpose is different, so the way of drinking is naturally different. ”
Li Yuxuan, who had been tormented by internal injuries for nearly a year, heard it at first glance, and the pride that had been hidden in his chest for a long time also erupted, and he laughed and said: "Okay, today I will drink with you to make a momentum, change the big bowl, and serve the wine!"
So, too, the wine was drunk from noon until sunset. By the time the two drunken guys walked out of the restaurant with each other's arms, everyone had at least more than ten catties of wine in their stomachs, which was a record since the opening of the restaurant.
