Chapter 9 I am no exception
"Whoop~~~"
The crazy howl came from behind the open wooden door, and in the closed room, the smell of wine and sweat mixed together, stimulating the secretion of substances in everyone's brain, making everyone's blood swell, and venting the crazy emotions in their hearts.
It is one of the busiest streets in the city center and is a favorite place for young men and women in the city.
Fist Storm, the largest and most famous tavern in the city, the drunken and crazy gold cave.
On the walls on both sides of the doorway, eight huge beer glasses are carved, and the beer glasses are shaped into a twisted and exaggerated shape, stacked on the left and right, and in the center of each beer glass, a burning torch is inserted, which looks as if the wine glass is burning from a distance.
On the door in the middle of the wine glass, there are seven fist marks, although they are engraved, but the carving is vivid, just like someone who has drunk too much and smashed it out of the door with a punch.
Two flowery women pose in a convex and backward shape under the notches of the two rows of wine glasses, holding wine glasses and throwing flying kisses to passers-by again and again, and two big men continue to show their strong muscles under the steps, posing full of power.
The striking doorway was quite lively, with men and women of all ages coming in and out from time to time, dressed in different grades, from ornate dresses to ordinary coarse cloth shorts, but at least they were safe with each other, and no one had any objections to this.
Bound in Sol Town for ten years, Monica has not seen such a lively scene for a long, long time, and as soon as the music at the door sounded, she was like some kind of memory in the depths of her soul was touched, and the whole person became excited, holding Babu and squeezing into the world inside the door.
The two strong men at the door glanced at Monica and Babu, who were dressed in bright clothes, although the corners of their mouths twitched when they saw Anna, but they didn't have too many special reactions, but when they saw Monica's whip without leaving their bodies, their breathing became a lot shorter, and they also looked at Monica a few more times, making Babu feel that these people definitely had some terrible habits.
As soon as they entered the door, the two of them were startled by the sound of the noise, and when their eyes slowly adjusted to the light, they realized why it was so noisy.
Because it's not a normal tavern at all, or rather, more than just a normal tavern.
The tavern is very open, several thousand square meters, and has a clear view of the view. The inverted trapezoidal design is adopted, high on all sides, low in the middle, and the layers are downward, and each layer is staggered to look at the wine table, and many wine tables are already full of people, holding wine glasses high with an excited face, and their eyes are unified towards the middle of the tavern, which is the lowest level.
Where the eyes converged, is a five-meter-long and wide iron cage, a little finger-thick iron wire woven together, so that the iron cage is tight and strong, there is a small door on the front of the iron cage, and there is only one small door, the outside of the small door is locked with a strong cast iron padlock, giving people a sense of unbreakable.
At this time, there were two men locked in the iron cage, both of them were naked, wearing only a pair of tight shorts, shiny and shiny, waving their fists and sweating in the iron cage.
Punches, elbows, knees, kicks.
The two people in the iron cage fisted to the flesh, fighting each other as hard as they could, and outside the iron cage, nearly 100 people waved strange tickets, as if they had lost their minds and shouted wildly.
"Bang", in the iron cage, the slightly thin one was punched in the side face, the whole person flew up, spun around in the air for half a circle, hit the iron cage hard, and then slid softly to the ground, screams and screams suddenly rose, and the crowd of onlookers was almost crazy.
Babu and Monica looked at each other and sighed, sighing in a low voice that the city and the town are different, even the tavern is completely different, seeing that the battle in the iron cage is still going on, the two hurriedly took advantage of the opportunity that the other new guests were still watching the battle, and took the opportunity to grab a table and sit down.
"The two guests are fresh faces, it's the first time you're here at Riotstorm. How long have you been in town? As soon as he sat down, a middle-aged man came up beside him, thin and small, and the elder had two thin beards, no different from a mouse. The man rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "Hehe, in front of you is Little John, the best guide for Fist Storm, as long as you have needs, Little John can provide you with the best information services." ”
"I have a good memory, and it seems that you remember every regular customer very well." Monica and Babu exchanged glances for a moment, and after getting Babu's confirmation, Monica's sharp gaze looked up and down the mouse-like man, "So do you have any interesting news for your best guide?" ”
"You're asking the right question." The man rubbed his hands together and smiled merrily, "The news I know is not a secret, there are many people who know about each one, but among these people, only I know all of them, even if it is a lot of time-sensitive news." ”
"For example?"
"For example, this afternoon, Commander Karl, Baron Trein's number one minion, lost a lot of combat power on the edge, but fortunately, it is said that he fought bravely enough, and finally completed the task assigned by Baron Trein, so that he was not strangled to death by Baron Trein." The man showed a mysterious expression, leaned forward and lowered his voice, "That's not the point, the point is that he also brought back a few big businessmen from the big city who happened to witness the battle, and arranged them in the top suite of the hotel." Guess who these big businessmen are? ”
"Oh, oh, oh!" Several people who were talking in a low voice were interrupted by the sudden burst of shouts again, and when they looked up, the tide of battle in the iron cage had been reversed, and the slightly thinner man pressed the stronger one under him, punch after punch, and smashed the other party's face with hatred, beating the other party's face covered with blood, and at first he struggled desperately, but soon lost his strength, and his limbs hung limply, motionless.
"It's just sturdy ordinary people, at least they don't let the fighters fight in cages for fun." Monica played with the wine glass that had just been brought to her and said, "I guess it's because I can't find so many fighters who are willing to do this kind of thing, but even ordinary people, this result is ......."
The thin man then climbed down from his opponent, staggered around the cage, and raised his hands to the surrounding audience, but before he could put down his raised hand, he fell straight down and fell beside his opponent.
Soon, several people rushed into the iron cage from under the stage, dragging the two people who fell to the ground out, but the thin man was surrounded by several people, busy with treatment around him, while the strong man was casually still on the ground, and his body was piled up with thrown 'bills', mixed with some leftover food, which looked particularly bleak in comparison.
Looking at the scene of flesh and blood flying in the cage, Babu and Monica's expressions were calm, and it was not until the end that Monica sighed and continued: "Even if you fail, it is a bit too much to be treated like this. ”
"At least alive." Babu said lightly: "The trapped beast cage fight is not a death match, and both of them can get out of the cage alive, which is a bit surprising." ”
"Hey, it seems that a few of them are really from big cities, and they can't pretend to be knowledgeable." Little John's eyes widened when he heard this, and he exclaimed, "This kind of play is passed from Kryas City, with His Majesty's yearning for a big city, of course, he will gladly introduce it, and the marginal travelers who have seen it in the past few years are either curious or too cruel, and only you can see at a glance that this method is originally endless." ”
"Originally?" Monica didn't want to think about where Babu came up with the relevant knowledge, but followed the trend and asked, "Improved?" ”
"Yes, the Third Highness felt that it was too cruel, so he improved himself." Little John gave a thumbs up and said, "For this reason, she also had a big quarrel with Your Majesty, and was almost punished by Your Majesty." However, after her hard work, now only the rules of the gladiatorial arena are still fighting to the death, and other entertainment venues with iron cage rings only distinguish between victory and defeat, regardless of life and death. ”
"We love the story." Before Monica could speak, Babu had already squinted her eyes and continued with a smile, "I wonder what other stories this best guide has to tell us?" ”
"Of course, there are many stories, and the story of the East Ancient City can't be told in ten years. However, for a few upper-class people who have just entered the city, the best pastime in the city is of course the most concerned. Little John pointed to his feet and introduced with a smile, "The first thing to introduce is of course this fist storm, this is the hottest tavern in the ancient city of Quandong, the strongest wine, the fiercest battle, the double stimulation can make your passion burn." ”
"The second place to visit is the full money bag in the east of the city, which is the only casino in the city. Open 24 hours a day, you can enjoy the best food, the best service and the most exciting games at any time. Whether you want to bet against a dealer or against other guests, no matter what kind of gambling you want, the money bag will meet your requirements and make you have a great time. ”
"As for the third place, it's the Pink House in the north of the city, but I don't really recommend it." Little John smiled awkwardly at Monica and Anna, "I think, the three of you shouldn't be interested there, of course, if the three of you want to hear it, I can also introduce the three of you, but it's good that the three of you don't hit me after that." ”
Monica didn't answer immediately, just glanced at Babu out of the corner of her eyes with a smile, and glanced at him in a cold sweat, and had to raise her glass to block the strange sight, Monica snorted softly, and let him go for the time being.
"Good introduction, John, we're satisfied, but you're a little incompetent as a guide." Babu's finger flicked a silver coin and chuckled, "How can a guide who doesn't know how to shut up at the right time, how can he get a reward from those high-class people if he doesn't know how to hide key information properly to attract listeners?" ”
A flattering smile froze on little John's face, and the smile became gradually awkward.
"So, poor little John is certainly not a professional guide, otherwise he will starve to death." Monica also understood, and immediately cooperated, "So who is he?" Well, maybe it doesn't matter what identity is, what matters is, what does he really want to introduce to us? ”
"Actually, he mentioned one thing just now, his third highness was not afraid of the power of His Majesty the city lord, and fought the basis of reason, and changed a cruel rule. It must be admitted that this Third Highness is indeed kind-hearted, but if these entertainment venues are someone else's property, no matter how kind she is, it is impossible for her to force others to change the rules according to her ideas. Babu held up a finger and said in a very affirmative tone, "Therefore, similar entertainment venues are all under the control of the Third Highness, so that she can have the opportunity to implement her good intentions in her own industry." ”
Little John's beard trembled, and he pouted without saying a word.
"According to this line of thought, can we boldly guess that you have introduced three good places for entertainment, and His Majesty the City Lord happens to have three His Highnesses. Industries such as taverns are taken care of by the Third Highness, but what about casino-related industries? Handed over to His Highness to take care of, oh, understood, it turned out to be the property of His Royal Highness, and the Pink House was under the control of His Highness. The three entertainment industries are run by three children, and it seems that His Majesty the City Lord is still very fair, and other types of city affairs should be divided in a similar way. ”
Little John sighed, and finally nodded.
"That's right." Babu fiddled with the silver coin, frowned and thought, "You have been stationed in this third highness's signature property for a long time, obviously belongs to her right-hand man, what you said to us, it is likely that the third highness wants to say, so, you came directly to the door tonight, it seems that you represent the third highness, the question is, why did she come to us?" And it came to the door on the same day? What happened to you in the Eastern Ancient City? ”
Little John shrugged: "I also want to know why, but it's a pity that the character of the Third Highness is a bit ...... Well, it's not so steady, and a lot of what she wants to do, it's hard for us supporters to understand, so we can only do it first. ”
"It's not so steady." It was the first time that Babu and Monica had heard someone say such a tactful reckless and brainless, and the two couldn't help laughing, Monica shook her head helplessly and asked, "It seems that you people are also working hard, and the three highnesses are like this?" Or is it only the Third Highness that is like this, and the Second Highness? ”
"She's just a cousin and a slut, as long as she can achieve her goal, she can sleep with all the men in the Eastern Ancient City, ah, and women." A young but somewhat rugged female voice came from the noisy environment, "As for my eldest brother, he is a pure pervert with a twisted mind, as inhuman as my father's brute, and if someone throws him a bone, he will even eat shit." ”
Babu and Monica touched each other's elbows and exchanged meaningful glances, neither of them looked back, but Babu asked, "A cousin, a pervert, a brute...... What about you, Your Highness. ”
"Me? I'm just a madman and a violent maniac. A young woman in a strong suit with brass fingers on her hands walked around in front of the two of them, pushed little John away, sat down by herself, pointed to her nose and said, "There is no normal person in our family, although I really want to be normal, but unfortunately, I am no exception." ”
