Chapter 262: Teahouse

What is Justice?

Strong is justice...... Weakness is the original sin.

The Indians are the best example of this.

——————————————————

19 years old.

Time flies.

I, as a time-traveler, live as a human being in this otherworld, under the name Randy.

I have experienced a lot of things in the middle, including joys and sorrows, and wonderful adventures.

My beloved grandfather has died and I don't have any relatives, so now I'm an independent person.

And I'm an adult long ago, and I know how to bury unpleasant things in my heart.

I have a companion from England who is also a time-traveler, but less of a reborn than I am.

His name is Aaron, and he is currently 17 years old, two years younger than me, and he has started to grow a beard, and he has body hair on his belly and chest, but it is relatively small.

These characteristics still can't affect the fact that he is a handsome guy, his appearance is much better than mine, his skin is white and tender, his eyes are clear and bright, if he is a girl, I am afraid he should be called a goddess, right?

The two of us are now soaking in the hot springs.

When we finally left the snowfield, it was rare for us to encounter such a good hot spring, and we had to enjoy it.

"I'll reluctantly accompany you to the imperial capital once, and after meeting people, we will continue our previous journey, *** the continent to find the magic ring." Aaron's voice.

I rubbed his back and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm doing things, what are you worried about?"

Aaron's eyes were half-closed, and he nodded slightly, "Better not lie to me."

When I learned that Lilith was still alive, I was looking forward to seeing her again.

I always thought she was dead.

But I didn't expect the future me to tell me that Lilith was still alive.

I had to find her.

"Daddy?"

"Mom!"

Storm and Jenata suddenly swam up from the bottom of the water, each hugging me and Aaron.

These two little guys are getting bigger and bigger, and the amount of food is amazing, because of them, Aaron and I are tossing and turning on the road.

On the road.

"How many days will we be before we reach the Imperial Capital?" I asked.

Aaron said, "There is still a period of time, and we have no means of flying, so we only have to walk on foot, how can we get there so quickly?"

I thumped my sore thighs and looked around at the deserted surroundings, feeling a little inexplicably uneasy.

The Jincaster Empire is located on the East Asian continent, bordering the North Continent, and is the country with the largest area in the East Asian continent, with more than a dozen large and small territories on the territory.

I feel that this journey is like learning from the west, in addition to always being on the lookout for monsters that may appear on the road, I also have to be wary of pedestrians I encounter.

There is a saying that when a fellow sees a fellow, he stabs him in the back.

On the way, I have seen too many people who pretend to be close to the old people, and they will either seek money or kill people, but they are all solved by me and Aaron.

We came to a barren and desolate country with few resources.

Aaron told me that this is a small country with wars all year round, and the people are struggling to make ends meet.

He said that when he came before, it was chaotic, and it still is.

I see so many skinny refugees here, their eyes are blank, they don't see a single ray of light, and they look very pitiful.

"Ahem, boss, do you sell tea?" Aaron asked, knocking on the door.

"Hey, hey, guest, we're a teahouse, of course it's sold!" Z.br>

Because the water we carried with us was gone, and there was no water source nearby, Aaron and I had to take a break at a nearby teahouse.

Sitting down at the table, I found that the other buildings around me were in tatters, and this teahouse was quite passable, at least it could shelter from the wind and rain, and I felt a little weird.

I thought of the refugees before me and asked Aaron, "Why don't these refugees flee to other countries for refuge?"

Aaron gave me a mocking look and smiled, "Hehe, where do you think these refugees can escape?"

"Other countries, countries without war." I say.

He shook his head and said, "Impossible, when we came, we met so many bandits and liars on the road, if we didn't have the fighting power, if we were these refugees, do you think they would have the life to get out?"

The people at the top need labor and productivity, so they will try their best to lock the population into a village, town, county, city, or country, and if they want to go out, without the relevant documents, they are very likely to be regarded as displaced people, pulled to be used as strong men, cannon fodder on the battlefield, I have been like this before, I have experienced it myself."

"That's miserable, isn't it?" I feel pity for the refugees and the former Aaron.

Aaron said, "So, I hate this feudal world, where people don't even have any human rights, and they are all extremely ignorant.

When you try to reason with a fool and help him, you will be treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, or even as a bad person who murders others, and then you will be beaten by those liars at the top and the fools at the bottom, so in the end I don't bother to pay attention to them."

I touched my nose, thinking about Lilith.

Aaron continued, "There are many people in the upper echelons who like to go to other countries, especially talents, not because their own country is not good, but because there is no comparison, there is no gap.

In some countries, the theory of contempt for other countries is widely promoted, causing the fools at the bottom to have an inexplicable self-confidence, so that they forget the original intention of becoming stronger......

"Uh, are you listening to me?" Aaron shook his hand in front of me.

I nodded quickly, looked at him, and said, "Of course there is, the strong should keep the heart of an apprentice for a moment, right?"

"Of course." He said with a softened expression.

"Guest, this is your tea."

The waiter brought two bowls of herbal tea, red in color and smelling faintly caramel.

"Waiter, come over here." I suddenly stopped the waitress who was busy greeting the other guests.

He was no better dressed than a refugee, with a few big holes in his pants, and he looked like a monkey with a sharp beak, which was very obscene.

"Hey, guest, what do you command?" The waiter asked.

I pointed to the herbal tea on the table and said, "Give me a drink."

"What...... What?" The waiter's expression was surprised.

I said, "Drink it."

The waiter shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, this is tea for your guests, we can't drink it."

I looked at Aaron and said gloomily, "I'll kill you if you don't drink, believe it or not?"

I pulled the Frost Dragon Sword on my back, startling the waiter.

He hurriedly took away the tea and said, "I'll change you two again."

I scolded and said, "Damn, if you have nothing to do, you can poison the tea!"

Aaron smiled and said admiringly, "You're pretty powerful, do you know that tea is poisonous?"

I lifted my chin confidently, and with the help of the Elven Eye, I could see at a glance if there was any poison in the food and drink.

In fact, the moment the waiter served the tea, I noticed the change in Aaron's expression, as well as the movement of the people around him quietly preparing to draw their swords.

Obviously, this is a black shop, and the people who come here to drink tea are not ordinary people, they carry weapons, and most of them are vicious, and they are not easy to mess with at first glance.

This time, the waiter was much more honest, and the tea served was very clear, and the Elf Eye did not observe any foreign objects in it.

Even the slightest poison is colorless and odorless, and it will be within the scope of the elven eye, showing a granular energy state for easy observation.

"Waiter, help us fill up the water, we'll use it on the road." I took out the water bladder and handed it to the waiter.

The waiter grinned and said, "Guest, water here is more expensive than gold, and you will have to pay ten gold coins to fill it up."

"Ten...... Ten pieces?" My eyes widened in disbelief.

The waiter said, "You two bowls of tea

, a little less, but it adds up to twenty silver coins."

"Damn, rob you!"

I felt uncomfortable, but Aaron didn't speak, and drank tea silently.

The waiter said, "Guest, at first glance, you are outsiders, and you don't know the price of tea in our teahouse, since you have already drunk it, then ......."

"Okay, we'll give it, and we'll fill it with water."

Aaron slapped ten gold coins on the table, his voice flat.

He glanced at me.

Reluctantly, I pulled out the remaining twenty silver coins from my pocket.

"Hey, hey, you two wait a minute, I'll go fill you with water!"

The waiter who had snatched the coin smirked, turned and slipped quickly backstage.

In a few moments, he handed me and Aaron two hydration bags filled with water.

"Let's go!"

Aaron stood up and waved me away.

I finished my last sip of tea and walked with him to the door.

He had only walked a few steps when the gate suddenly closed.

Aaron and I looked at each other and looked back at the waiter.

I saw the waiter look at us with compassion and said, "Do it!"

Soon, the people around us drew their weapons and approached us with unkind faces.

I immediately reacted, it turned out that these people were all in a gang.

And the reason why the water here is so expensive is to make it easier to test whether the buyer has money?

It's a pity they chose the wrong person.

I have black energy condensed in my hands, and it is no problem to deal with these people, even if there are powerful high-level swordsmen among them.

At this moment, I turned around and noticed that the gate had been kicked open, and a young man in silver armor appeared, pointed his sword at the crowd, and said, "You bad people, how dare you rob in broad daylight? Wait for me to bring you to justice, and I will destroy you on behalf of justice!"

With that, he ignored me and Aaron and rushed to the teahouse.

When I saw someone fighting, my first thought was to leave.

But Aaron stopped and watched with me on the grounds that the money had not been returned.

The young man's body is flexible, the swordsmanship is elegant, at first glance it is a swordsman with a flow of skills, for the siege of the two big men holding giant axes, he gently shook the blade a few times, the moment he touched the opponent's weapon, he used the strange sword skills to unload the opponent's strength, as the big men's weapons fell to the ground, the young man seized the opportunity to seal their throats with a sword.

Aaron showed a look of appreciation and said, "This young man has some skills, but ...... It's just a little bit."
