Chapter VII
Li Yuxuan stood up and paid for the drink, and walked to the corner, although Li Yuxuan's figure looked quite tall in the south, but compared to these Westerners, it could only be regarded as a medium stature, not to mention that the people gathered in the corner now were some sailors who were eating at sea, and their body size was even greater. Li Yuxuan stood in front of them, but became the smallest one. Coupled with Li Yuxuan's slightly emaciated appearance at the moment, it was even more obvious that there was a gap in strength between him and those sailors.
But just when everyone thought that Li Yuxuan couldn't squeeze in among those people, he miraculously lined up everyone and squeezed in. No, it should be said that I walked in. Because those burly sailors were automatically separated when Li Yuxuan passed by, it seemed as if they had taken the initiative to give way to Li Yuxuan, and the guests and waiters in the tavern were puzzled. And those sailors didn't know why, and they all glared at the southerner who "broke in", and it seemed that everyone wanted to teach this annoying southerner a lesson.
"Oh, it's you! When did you come, I've already solved all three!"
Sure enough, it was the young man. Li Yuxuan really doubted that the guy in front of him was reincarnated as a drunkard. Yesterday I drank a mess, and today I am here again. Glancing at the three sailors who had fallen to the ground, and then at the Westerner who was still drinking with him at the moment, the scattered eyes showed that he couldn't hold out for long.
The young man spoke Franco, the lingua franca of the Psychedelic Continent, so the sailors also understood that this southerner was a friend of the young man, so they put away the hostility in their eyes and turned their attention to the two who were drinking at the moment.
Sure enough, as Li Yuxuan expected, after only a while, the sailor also lay on the ground.
The young man stood up from his chair and signaled to the crowd that he was here for today. But the many sailors around him obviously did not want him to leave, and it seemed that these sailors must get the young man drunk today before they would give up.
"Wait, there's a better master here than me. The young man said and glanced at Li Yuxuan, who was standing in the crowd.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Yuxuan, and the expressions on everyone's faces showed suspicion of the young man. Young people know how much they drink. This guy is a notoriously drunkard among the sailors at Stockkes Pier, and no one has been able to beat him in drinking so far. Today, a guy who drinks more than him suddenly ran out, and it's no wonder that everyone didn't believe it.
The young man shrugged his shoulders at Li Yuxuan, signaling that if he didn't show his hand today, the two of them would not want to leave this tavern for a while.
Seeing the lively scene just now, Li Yuxuan couldn't help but feel a little whim in his heart at this moment, grabbed the wine barrel under the table with one hand, and drank all the wine in the barrel in one go, which immediately shocked everyone present.
Just now, the young man and the four sailors drank together, and the four of them only drank more than a third, and now Li Yuxuan drank all the rest by himself, and looking at his current appearance, except for his face was a little red, those sailors still didn't know how much Li Yuxuan had drunk. I'm afraid that all the sailors here are drunk and fall to the ground today, and Li Yuxuan and this young man also walked straight out of this tavern.
A leader-like man among the sailors smiled and said, "Great, powerful, we obeyed, count us as admitting defeat." ”
Li Yuxuan and the young man left the tavern smoothly, and found another restaurant and ordered a few dishes, which could be regarded as the official dinner for the two of them today.
When the two of them had eaten about the same, the two naturally began to talk.
"Brother, what's your name? Look at the big guy behind you, I think he has also practiced martial arts, right?"
"Shi Yue, what about you?" Li Yuxuan casually made up a pseudonym, he didn't want to cause an unnecessary "earthquake" in the capital of the Ya'an Kingdom. The homonym of the name Shi Yue is "Siyue", which can be regarded as indicating Li Yuxuan's longing for his deceased wife at the moment.
"My name is Collins, and I just came here from the west of the continent last year. "The young man seemed quite bold.
"It's a coincidence, I'm going to the west of the continent right now. Li Yuxuan said.
"Is my brother going to the West? I don't think you look like a businessman, but you feel like a prodigal son. ”
"It's something personal. ”
If Collins knew that Li Yuxuan was the patriarch of a famous merchant family in the southern part of the continent, I don't know how he would feel.
"Which country is the old brother going to in the West?" Collins was obviously quite interested in Li Yuxuan.
"The Kingdom of Fabre. Li Yuxuan couldn't hide a look of disappointment on his face when he said, and remembered what happened to him at the dock today.
"Fabre!" Collins exclaimed, noticing the look of disappointment on Li Yuxuan's face, and asked with concern, "Has my brother found a ship to Fabre?"
Li Yuxuan shook his head, not wanting to comment more on this topic.
"Don't worry, brother, I know a captain whose ship is bound for Fabre. Collins laughed.
It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it. He was struggling to find a ship to Fabre, but he didn't expect that Corinth, whom he met in Styx, would know the captain of the ship going to Fabre.
"But ......" Seeing Li Yuxuan's happy face, Collins had some embarrassment on his face.
"But what, is it a problem with the shipping fare?" Li Yuxuan asked a little anxiously.
"It's not really, it's that the captain I know is a weirdo, and he's taking some risks in his boat!"
"Take some risks?" Li Yuxuan didn't understand the meaning of Collins's words.
"Yes! The journey from Stex to Fabre is through a very dangerous stretch of water, which the seafarers call the 'Graveyard of the Sea'. The area was rocky, there were many undercurrents, and the weather in the area was unpredictable, and many ships had sunk in that area. This is also the reason why the vast majority of Styx ships did not extend their voyage to Fabre. ”
"I see, no wonder I couldn't find a boat to Fabre after an afternoon of searching. Li Yuxuan suddenly realized.
"But don't worry, the captain I know is a veteran of the sea, but he has a strange temper, and generally refuses to let people take a boat. But there was one thing he was, like me, an alcoholic. If you let him know that you have such a good amount of drink, I don't think he will drive you off the boat even if you don't pay his fare. Collins smiled, the expression on his face looking quite excited.
When Li Yuxuan heard Collins' description, the image of a strange old man wearing a pirate hat and holding a wine jug in his hand came to mind.
That night, Li Yuxuan and Collins went to the dock with two jugs of wine. As expected, the captain described by Collins was the strange old man wearing a pirate hat that Li Yuxuan had met at the dock at noon.
"Come out, old pirate, and see what I've brought you!"
Before he could get on board, Corinth was already shouting at the "Sedon" parked in the corner of the dock.
"Boy, is it a good 'Volga', I already smell it in it. ”
It was still the vigorous and powerful voice of noon, but there was obviously less hostility at noon in the voice, and more friendliness and excitement.
Judging from the intimate conversation between the two, Collins had a pretty good relationship with the old captain.
Collins laughed when he heard this, and the whole person jumped up from the dock, and instantly flew a distance of about four feet, and landed firmly on the deck of the "Sedon". This hand is even more clever than Li Yuxuan's hand at noon, which shows that Collins' martial arts have also reached a fairly high level.
"Where's the wine?" the strange old man on the deck asked when he saw Corinth, who had jumped onto the deck empty-handed.
"In the back!" Collins took a step to the side and beckoned to Li Yuxuan, who was still on the dock.
"Oh, it's this kid!" the strange old man obviously recognized Li Yuxuan as the young man who had been to his boat at noon.
Li Yuxuan saw that Collins showed a pretty good leap in the air, showing his good martial arts, and he couldn't help but want to show his skills, and at the same time, he also wanted to see what kind of realm his current skills had reached.
I saw Li Yuxuan holding two bottles of "Waljia" in both hands, and there was no trace of momentum on his body, as if he was walking on flat ground, jumping high from the dock like a bamboo pole, and then "walking" from the air to the boat step by step. This hand made both the captain and Collins widen their eyes, and they looked at Li Yuxuan's shocking "performance" in disbelief.
Collins asked himself that if he tried his best, he might be able to jump directly from the dock without moving like Li Yuxuan, but it was impossible to step down from the air step by step, and as far as he knew, he didn't know any master on the continent who had this kind of "Void Walk" skill.
"Hey, boy, where did you get such a freak?" asked the old man pulling Corinth.
"I don't know, I also saw that he was by no means simple before, but I didn't expect him to have such terrifying strength!" Collins was completely stunned by Li Yuxuan's hand at this moment, and replied with his eyes staring at Li Yuxuan, who had fallen beside him at this time.
"You're a freak in Fabre, but I didn't expect you to find someone even weirder than you here!" the old man muttered to himself.
Collins now had to scratch his hair to show his opinion of the freak in front of him.
Li Yuxuan also realized at this moment that his hand just now was shocking, but his personality had always been calm, and he only bowed slightly to the two people who were lying there on the deck, indicating that they were not dazzled just now.
It took a long time for Collins and the strange old captain to wake up from their shock, and at the same time shook their heads to clear the mess in their minds.
"All come in, all come in!" The strange old man let the two young men into the cabin, and glanced at Li Yuxuan by the way.
There was a lot of space in the cabin, and there was some cargo piled up in one corner, but it was clear that the captain was not doing very well.
The three of them sat together, and the strange old man didn't know where to conjure up some seafood as a side dish, so the three of them drank wine and chatted.
