I looked at the time, and it was just after ten o'clock, and I learned from the mouth of the flea that it would not start until one o'clock in the afternoon. There were three long hours to wait, which was a painful thing for us young people with too much energy to do if we didn't find something to do.

"I said Rasil." The pants squinted at the clear sky, "It's really nice today." ”

"The city in the sky is in the sky. That is, we are now above the clouds. Rasil muttered, glancing at his pants, "...... I think you know what I mean. ”

"Understood." The pants blinked. The IQ of the pants is not low, and he knows that Rasil is reminding him that it is like flying on a plane. If you climb above the clouds, then all the weather changes, such as rain and snow, you will not be affected. Of course, this is my understanding, and the pants are also a college student. I guess I have mastered this knowledge.

The pants casually touched a black iron lump from the backpack, stared at it for a while, and then said to Rasil: "Old Ray, I haven't played with bombs for a long time." Let's take advantage of this good weather to find something to bomb? ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence around them. The so-called high-tech crystallization of the gnome in the pants has played us I don't know how many times. Don't blow it up when you should blow it up, and blow it up when you shouldn't. Everyone looked at his pants, then at the iron bump in his hand, and unconsciously began to keep a certain distance from him, with a look of vigilance.

"I'm just talking. Don't be nervous, everyone. Seeing everyone's expressions, the pants pretended to add lightly. But everyone still didn't dare to relax at all, until the pants put the unknown bomb back into the package, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is there a place on the first floor of Sky City that we haven't visited?" Flea asked casually, and the corner of his eye kept looking at Xiao Nirvana.

"It's been almost a month since the competition. We've been on the first floor of Sky City almost all the time, and we all know how many rats there are here. There are still places I haven't been to. Zixu complained.

"There are no rats in the city in the sky." Xiao Ni squinted his eyes and swept the purple void, and snorted heavily in his nose. Zixu immediately shut up in recognition.

"Have you ever been to the old barrel tavern?" Although he hasn't been with everyone for a long time, because of the good timing, Sima Xin now seems to be very familiar with everyone. Seeing that we couldn't find a place to have a pastime, we reported the name of the place.

"Old old barrels?" The pants thought for a moment, then clapped their hands, "Is that the one diagonally across the hall?" Passed by a few times, but never entered. Is there anything special there? ”

"Nothing." Sima smiled apprehensively, "However, there are often some NPC mercenary corps leaders gathered there. They like to brag and tell stories of their adventures, some of which are very funny. Now that everyone is bored, it is better to go there. Just listen to the book. ”

"Yes, yes." Lady Pingduo had long since lost her sad face, and as soon as she heard that there was a good story to hear, she immediately came to her senses and clapped her little hands happily.

Sima looked around at everyone worriedly, and seeing that everyone's faces did not show obvious rejection, he laughed and made a decision for everyone: "If everyone has no opinion, then let's go there." For the first time, I'll treat you, and I'll pay for everything. ”

Oops, finally someone came forward to pay for everything, and everyone's last worries dissipated and became invisible. Everyone smiled, stood up with a smile on their faces, and followed Sima Xin's trigger. I struggled to keep myself from laughing. Sima is worried, if you underestimate the spending power of my unscrupulous subordinates, then there will be many hard days in the future.

The last of the old barrels are located in the small alley next to Platinum Boulevard, diagonally opposite the most crowded meeting hall. However, since its door is not directly facing Platinum Boulevard, there are far more people passing by than entering. The tavern is not large, with only seventeen tables. Each table has its own name, and those names correspond to teammates from the adventurous team that the tavern owner Blair once belonged to. Of course, only the dead deserve such treatment.

When we entered, the tavern was only full of seven or eight tables, not very crowded, but the atmosphere was very lively. Everyone was screaming and slapping the table, as if urging a red-faced, bare-shouldered, bald barbarian at the middle table to tell the story of his adventures.

"'Steel Plate' Hodak, you have to tell a story today that satisfies us, and you have doubled the cost of your wine today." It was an uncle standing behind the counter, with a dark face and a thick beard. If I'm not mistaken, this person would be the tavern keeper Blair. It seems that I was lucky today, and I can listen to the legend as soon as I enter the door.

"Breel, I've only had two drinks." The red-faced barbarian spoke in a very loud voice, "This body is not hot, are you embarrassed to let me start the shot?" I don't think it's better to let Solane come first. I heard that he recently went to the western wilderness and picked up a lot of treasures. ”

"Okay, you Hodak, I don't usually have a holiday with you." A man with a one-eyered blindfold and a scruffy beard on the adjacent table took over, "Let me say it first, but it's ...... for the drink."

"No problem, you say it first, I'm just warming up. I'll pay for you. "Hodak seems to be a cheerful man.

"Okay, that's a deal." Solane slapped the table, "In that case, let me tell you about an interesting incident that happened last time in the haunted abbey." ”

The big book was about to begin, and we quickly found a place to sit down, asked the waiter to order something casually, pricked up our ears, and listened carefully.

Solaine swept away the glass with a crane, and then began to tell his story as the waiter refilled him: "Once my team and I ransacked a robber's treasure trove and discovered another of their treasure spots, the monastery of Mabur, known as the 'Haunted Abbey.'" The robbers were not afraid of death, and hid their most valuable treasures in the basement of the monastery. As you know, I've always been the first, and this time is no exception......"

"Solane, you're afraid that your teammates will grab the treasure before you rush to the first one. When I used to fight with you in Lord Spars's 4th Infantry Squad, how do I remember that you were hiding at the end? A guy in black leather armor on the other side suddenly said loudly.

There was a burst of laughter around him, and Solane directly threw the wine glass in his hand towards the man: "Trey, I remember you." The laughter around them was louder.

After laughing for a long time, the group quieted down under the persuasion of the tavernkeeper, waiting for Solaine to continue his adventure. Soline moistened his throat: "We are lucky that we did not encounter any dangerous creatures after entering through the gate...... Well, and the revenant. All the way to the basement. ”

"Oh my God, I knew that the ghost was just a legend, I should have gone for a spin or two." A young man cried out, and was immediately crushed by a strong savage beside him. It's a very unflattering thing to interrupt someone's story, unless the narrator deliberately leaves a gap for you to interrupt to add to the suspense.

"Maybe the Lord God doesn't want to see us get the treasure too smoothly. As soon as we entered the basement, we encountered the last monster we wanted to encounter. At this point, Solane raised his glass and poured himself a mouthful, "A shapeshifter. Adult. ”

The people around let out an exclamation. I whispered to the flea next to me, "What kind of monster is the shapeshifter?" ”

"A shapeshifter is a shapeshifter. A kind of monster that is good at disguise and transformation, he can become like you the moment he sees you, and he can also extract your thoughts deeply and copy your memories into his brain. Therefore, it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish between a shapeshifter and the person he has changed. Flea explained. I nodded in understanding.

"And then?" The barbarian Hodakron asked.

"I have to say, my luck is very bad, who told me to rush in the first place, and the first one was bumped into by the transformation demon." Solaine scratched his head, "My men have helped me and that damn bastard. I remember very well the fact that the mage in our team sprinkled sulfur powder on my head and had two or more knives hanging around my neck. ”

A bit of whistling on the side.

Solaine didn't care, and continued: "That group of waste wood began to pick the most ugly questions for me and ask the two of us, so as to distinguish which one is true and which one is false, I won't say what the specific questions are, and you won't inquire, otherwise don't blame me for turning his face." ”

"And then?"

"Later?" Solane smiled, "All the questions were answered by one of us at the first time. And the other didn't even have a chance to interject. ”

"It seems that the truth and the fake can be immediately distinguished."

"Who's to say it isn't. I remember it seemed to be Aesop, or maybe Hisoka, and I laughed at the time. Solaine shook his head, "Anyway, his smile was very obscene, and he said, 'I'm sorry, shapeshifter, don't try to fool us with your tricks.'" Although you imitated our boss perfectly, and answered seamlessly. But you are missing a fatal key. That is, our boss definitely does not have such a good memory. With that, they skilfully picked up the dick and began to beat it. ”

The people around him were all relieved when they heard this.

Hodak raised his glass: "Solane, you're really lucky. ”

Boss Blair also smiled: "There is nothing happier than taking risks with your close teammates." ”

"Who's to say it isn't." A strange smile appeared on Solane's face, took a sip of wine, and said slowly while licking the foam from his beard, "After that, I lay at home for half a year before I could start my next adventure like a normal person. ”

……

The tavern was filled with unbridled laughter after a moment of silence. I couldn't help but slap the table and laugh out loud. The pants were even more exaggerated, almost falling from the seat with laughter.

After the atmosphere in the tavern calmed down a little, the boss Brell spoke: "Solaine will rush your story, today's wine is all free." ”

Solaine raised his hand and greeted Breel: "Daddy, thank you for your hospitality." ”

Brell smiled, then turned to Hodak and said, "If your story is not as wonderful as Solaine, you can watch the money for everyone's drinks here today." ”

The tavern was immediately filled with commotion and whistles again.

"No problem." Laughing happily, Hodak pulled a few things out of his backpack and placed them on the table, "I'll show you a few things first, and then I'll tell you my story." ”

It was some, pale golden pieces of metal, and Hodak had scattered them on the table one at a time, as if they could be put together to form something. Time seemed to stand still, and all the people around them focused their eyes on Hodak's face.

Hodak took a deep breath, then exhaled, "A specialty of the Land of Despair, shards of rock gold, seven. ”

"Rock Gold Shards!" I shouted out as soon as I was excited. Isn't that a necessary part of the key to enter the Hama temple? What can only be obtained after three hundred and fifty players and seventy-seven and forty-nine bosses are killed is suddenly displayed in front of me, can I not be excited? As the saying goes, there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them.

However, it seems that my reaction is a little bigger, and the people around me are now not looking at Hodak, and they are all staring at me.

I said, they looked at me weirdly.
