Chapter 13: Star Tavern I

"Can you lend it to me, please. ”

"No, I can't. ”

"I think the magic array on this gun is very valuable to me, can I borrow it for only three days, please, please. ”

"No, I can't. ”

"One night, I promise I won't lose it, by the way, you can continue to tie me to the mast, just give me a lamp to illuminate it, I will also need paper, a pen, a protractor, a compass, and a crystal stone, it would be better if there was a ready-made star array to compare with, by the way, my staff should still be there,...... Anyway, I need to study the magic circle of the white cherry blossoms of summer, please, please, please. ”

"No, I can't. ”

“...... So for now, let me look at it a little longer, okay? ”

“...... All right. ”

"Can't you come into the tavern and sit down? Danny looked at the two at the door of the tavern speechlessly, Hannah's muzzle never left the forehead of the astrologer's apprentice, and Jonah stared at the mysterious star array on the white cherry spear, his eyes were deeply sunk,

At Danny's persuasion, Hannah finally relaxed her arms and walked into the tavern with the gun in her hand, and Jonah now forgot the horror of the suspended building, and walked neatly through the gap in the abyss, following the brother and sister into the house.

"You can fire a few times a day, so there must be a limit. "Just a few minutes is not enough for Jonah to figure out the flow of the magic array energy, but one of the three masterpieces of Master Hefzbach obviously has some kind of flaw, it is a relatively backward method to obtain energy by pressing the magic crystal, and the instability of the quality of the magic crystal will bring all kinds of unexpected problems to the operation of the magic circle, in contrast, absorbing free magic elements from space is the right way, whether it is the standard enchanted weapon of the golden hammer, or the large shield "Night Steel" of the head of the guard regiment Qiao Pu The latter principle is used to manufacture, so as to ensure the average state and long life of the equipment.

Hannah glanced at him a little surprised, "No more than five rounds a day, after five rounds, even if you change the magic crystal, you can't fire it anymore, how do you know." ”

Jonah nodded: "That's right, this gun is a flawed product, and it shouldn't be a masterpiece that Master Hefzbach is proud of." ”

"You're saying that the white cherry blossoms of summer are fakes. Hannah stopped and stared into the eyes of the astrologer's apprentice,

"No, no, no. Jonah hurriedly waved his hand, "I didn't mean that, I heard Elliott say,,, by the way, Elliot is one of the partners I've been looking for, a blonde knight riding a unicorn, he seems to know everything, whether it's a painter, The sculptor or the weaponsmith has to go through many trials before making a great work, in order to prevent the waste of expensive raw materials, of course, these prototypes are usually destroyed by the author, and the last prototype, that is, the one closest to the great work, is called the shadow of the masterpiece, which is not related to the masterpiece itself in form, material, With only extremely subtle differences in function, shadow works rarely come out of the hands of craftsmen, but once they appear in the market, they become hot spots for people to chase, because it is impossible to tell the difference between them and the original without being an expert. ”

"My gun is the shadow of the white cherry blossoms in summer. Hannah Stewart thoughtfully raised her pistol,

There was a sudden silence in the bar,

"It's not a robbery. Danny ran forward in a cold sweat and hurriedly explained to the many drunkards who had their hands raised in the air, "Please keep drinking, everyone, and ignore us, again, this is not a robbery, sir, please put your wallet back...... Don't take off your pants either, sir, and we're not going to rob you of your dinner either,...... Wait, is this a good ribeye steak that looks very tender......"

The bartender consciously stood behind the bar, took out the oak box containing the money, and said calmly: "That's all the turnover for a day, Mr. Sand Thief, all the money earned yesterday is from Lao Bei, you can go to Pier 2 to find him." ”

Danny wiped a cold sweat, "It's not a robbery, Hannah, explain it to me." ”

The younger sister scanned the audience with her long, gray-green eyes, and where she saw the drunkards, they jingled and threw the gold and silver coins on the table, and the elder brother stared at the shiny things, swallowed with difficulty, and muttered, "Now that I think about it, maybe it was a bad idea to change careers......

"We are the Stewart family...... "Hannah began,

"Yes, we know, we see each other often, and besides, I'm a good friend of your father, so can you leave me the money for a glass of sparkling wine, two, two. A burly bearded man carefully picked up a copper coin from the handful of coins he had thrown out, thought about it, picked up another one, and held it in his hand with tears in his eyes.

"Although it has always been a sand pirate......," Hannah continued,

The most timid one had already taken off his boots, socks and trousers, and was now beginning to unbutton his collarless shirt, and he also encouraged his companions: "Take it off, legend has it that the brother of the Stewart family is a miser who specializes in robbing money, and the younger sister is a flower thief who specializes in robbing colors. ”

"Phew. ”

A dazzling white light almost blinded the space, and Jonah was forced to take a step back by the heat of the magic pistol, and when he opened his eyes, he found that there was a round hole the thickness of a wrist in the already broken wall of the tavern, and the edge of the hole was smooth as if it had been sandpapered, through this small hole, he could see that a grand dance party was being held on the top deck of the opposite port, and the well-dressed VIPs froze there stiffly, because the Dudra in the arms of the principal player had been shot through a large hole, the music stopped, and the musician stared at the curling green smoke coming out of the instrument, with a shocked expression, and looked up at the sky, and the VIPs looked up at the starlight with him, a noble lady let out a scream of enlightenment, and kept gesturing to the double concentric circle gesture of the main god Luta,

“...... But not anymore, we are Stewart Express Service, 'Bactria Wind' is ready to provide you with cheap, safe and efficient courier services, from Cheorrington to Namoza, the entire endless sea of sand is our business scope, thank you. Hannah hid the magic pistol in her cloak and finished her statement, apparently prepared in the morning, when Danny had already secretly picked up seven or eight shiny coins from the stunned drunkard's table, glanced at his sister, and put them back in a curt.

The tavern was quieter, and the bartender held the cash box and scratched his head: "Hannah, you're sure." ”

"Pretty sure. Danny replied in place of his sister, trying to make a righteous and awe-inspiring gesture,

The bartender wondered, "But when you came to the Racing Star more than a month ago, you robbed ......"

"Shhhh The man from the Stewart family ran over to cover the bartender's mouth and pointed to the door: "There is a guest today, don't talk nonsense, please come in and cargo friends, this is a complete misunderstanding." ”

The bartender suddenly realized: "It turns out that you changed your career to kidnap the ticket......"

"Shut up. Hannah glanced at him lightly, and the bartender swallowed the rest of the words back into his stomach.

"Put on your clothes. Hannah commanded the guy who started ***, and the order was faithfully executed,

"Now go ahead and drink the bar. Hannah announced to the whole tavern, and immediately, the atmosphere became noisy again, "It's all right, it's all right, little Hannah always talks the talk." The bearded man laughed, put the full table of coins back into his pocket, and raised his wooden wine glass.

The brother and sister took a somewhat stunned Jonah to find a seat in the corner, and the small round table was next to a window, which was said to be a window, but in fact it was just a hole in the wooden wall, "This is our old location, and we can see the whole view of Pier 3 from here." "Our ship has come in, you can take a look." ”

Jonah obediently stood up and poked his head out of the window, "No, no. Danny hurriedly pulled him to sit down, "Don't bother so much, look down." ”

So the astrologer's apprentice looked down and found an observation window under his feet, which was actually a large thick and long crack in the broken wooden floor, and directly below this crack was Pier 3, where the "Winds of Bactria" had anchored in the harbor, and two sailors had boarded the deck to check the damage.

"It doesn't seem safe to do that...... The feeling of imbalance made Jonah dizzy, and he felt a terrifying night wind three hundred yards high blowing from under his feet, as if at any moment the crumbling cabin would tumble and fall into the bottomless abyss, shattering to pieces.

"It's not safe and it's not safe for 80 years, and I don't know of anyone drinking and drinking and disappearing. Danny calmly grabbed the pepper shaker on the table, sprinkled a little on the back of his hand, licked it, and put the whole bottle of pepper into his robe with satisfaction.

Jonah stammered and pointed to another corner of the tavern, "But there was a man there, who was sitting and eating just now, and suddenly disappeared......"

Danny raised his eyelids: "Oh, it's okay, he must have been thrown out if he couldn't pay for the drink, don't worry, he won't fall to his death." ”

"That's good. Jonah patted his chest,

"Before they fall into the desert, they will be snatched away by foraging four-winged moas, so they won't let go of such delicious food......" said the boy of the Stewart family again calmly, because he was proud to be able to throw this burden twice in a row to scare the other party,

Jonah shuddered and stared hatefully at Danny, who grinned and showed a mouthful of white teeth,

Without command, the bartender automatically served three glasses of sparkling wine, a basket of buns, cheese, pickled cucumbers, and a large pot of yellow-green unknown viscous liquid, "Hello, look at your complexion is a friend from the Western Continent, the ferry from Cherry Ferry has arrived, and it is relatively early this year." The bartender greeted Jonah familiarly,

"Uh, hello, I'm from St. Boren, the ferry from Cherry...... It's arrived. The astrologer's apprentice hesitated for a moment, but did not say anything about the attack on the ferry, so it seems that the inhabitants of the endless sea of sand had no further news of the ferry.

"Desert specialty, cactus curry, must try. After introducing the specials, the bartender returned to the bar, and Jonah stared at the pot with trepidation, a sense of distrust of unfamiliar food since he had tasted black gold gopher meat at Cherry Ferry.
