All the food places in this place sell alcohol at the same time, and no matter which one looks weird. There are large numbers of taxidermy hanging on the walls, and the smell of preservatives fills the unventilated room. Xike suspects that some of them are actually alien shijie humans who don't look like humanoids. He also literally saw a string of human skulls in the corner. The windows were covered in dust and palm prints, and the walls were littered with indecent graffiti painted with unknown paints. The floor is damp and rotten, and a wooden plank on top of the big hole is just a plank. A room full of unclean people sat or stood, raising their voices and conversing in an argumentative tone and gestures that bordered on punching.

The place where they could spy on the entire store was taken up, and they had to sit by the door. He looked up and saw that the beam in the middle of the ceiling was clearly the keel of a certain ship. I don't know why there are still cut thick hemp ropes hanging from other beams, what is it that has been hung?

Lisna helps translate the names of the food, but each one sounds more abnormal than the other. Xi Ke couldn't figure out what principle a "meal" called "Poison Powder Keg Lead" was based on. What is the "cannibal fleet head"? and does it have anything to do with the head of a human bone-faced rhinoceros?

It was only later that he found out that half of their menu referred to stimulants that would definitely be banned by the Saxonal government, and it seemed that there were people here who would eat that kind of stuff and then skip eating. It's going to die.

After excluding those things, they finally ordered something more normal, but the things that were served on the table were still very reluctant to squeeze into the normal range. It's all coffee-colored goofy, and it tastes mixed in your mouth and heart.

Because they were really hungry, and the rotten things were still much better than the slaves ate, the food was still swept away by them at once.

Even more troublesome is the water. There is a lack of clean drinking water in this place, so everyone drinks instead of water. Rick doesn't usually drink, and here he can only drink. He was really thirsty, and although the cloudy and bitter liquid was hard to swallow, he drank a lot in a short period of time.

If Naimo was there, he would definitely stop him, and use heating or something like that to remove the alcohol before giving it to Syke, but there is Seren, there is Lisina, but there is no Nemo.

Serene hadn't seen Rick drink, but he had seen a lot of people who did, so he immediately noticed something was wrong. The first thing that's wrong is body language. Xi Ke has always paid attention to self-control, even if the situation is so bad, he will not shake his feet, knock on the table and other small actions to show his anxiety. Rick has always been good at taking care of his hands and feet.

But now Xi Ke was unconsciously rubbing his fingers against the rim of the cup, and a barely visible smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

It looks like he's in a good mood! It's strange enough to have unconscious body language, but it's still happy!

Lisna did as Cik had been instructed before she had drunk, filtering through the chats of the people around her, translating to them if there was anything suspicious: "Someone is talking about a mage from Ethero. They said that there was a slave from the Etharo, named Naring, who had raided the slave auction and destroyed two fleets, and that he was still hiding in the open sea with the fleet, looking for an Etharaan ship that had been taken hostage. 」

Cheek raised an eyebrow and asked, "Did they mention where the ship Naringer was looking for was?"

"It looks like it's in their boss's dock. But they had changed the subject, and they didn't talk about where the dockyard was. 」

Rick asked again, "Which table is it?"

Lisna pointed to the middle of the store. In the center of the store is a six-meter-wide ring. Provide a dry rack venue and a must-have betting service. The tables next to the ring are hot areas, and each one is packed to the brim. At the table that Lisna pointed to, there were seven people, all tall and tall. The eighth man was coming down from the ring. He knocked his opponent unconscious and made a lot of money for his friends. The unconscious man was grabbed by the other drinkers and thrown into the street.

Standing up with one hand on the table, he paused for a moment, as if estimating which side was up and which was down, before he said with a reassuring smile, "I'll ask them. He turned and walked over to the table.

Because the smile was so reliable, Serense became seriously uneasy. He quickly got up and caught up. Lisna thought that the people should not understand the language of Rick, and followed.

Rick walked to the left hand side of the man who had just gotten out of the ring and patted the man on the shoulder, "Sir, can I ask you a question? Where is the dock where you mentioned the Ethero ship?"

The man looked quite like the Shijie human of Xike. He had four hands, a very thick skin of copper, and a thicker skeleton than that of the Ethero. His chin and nose were crooked, and he had probably been broken several times. He sat in his chair and turned his head to glare at Rick, his mouth flattened into a line. A wine glass in one hand, a wine bottle in one hand, fried chicken in one hand, and bread in one hand.

Lisna stood to the right of Rick, bent over, knees together, and translated Rick in the prevailing lingua franca, "You ask you, where is that place in your fart you just fart? 」

"How dare you big dog disturb Uncle Ben drinking!" The four-handed man turned to face Xi Ke, waved his hand away from Xi Ke, and yelled in the local lingua franca.

"What did he say?" Rick asked Lisna in standard Ether Aetro.

"He said he was too busy to answer you. Lisna said with a wink.

"This is a very important matter, so please take the time to answer it. Tick said in the standard language of the four hands to the four-handed man.

Lisna helped Xike translate: "You Lao Tzu is asking you, answer immediately! Drinking your dog urine is as important as Lao Tzu!"

The man with four hands put down his glasses, bottles, fried chicken, and bread heavily, and slammed his chair over. He was four heads taller than Xi Ke, looked down at Xi Ke from top to bottom, and roared with drool: "Rabbit cub, you don't want to die! Go to the ring with the uncle! Watch the uncle beat you to the point of calling your mother!"

Vick still didn't understand, so he had to ask Lisna what he was talking about. Lisina said, "He said that if he doesn't fight, he won't know each other, and he will try his skills in the ring. 」

Serena whispered to Lisna, "I think your translation is weird. He looked angry. 」

With a big smile on her face, Lisina didn't look at Seren, and said, "Translation is an art that transcends cultural differences. 」

"I think you must have made a mistake. Seren said, curling his neck.

Pleased with the translation, he turned his wrist and shoulder and said, "Okay, let's have a discussion. 」

Lisna translated Syke's words to the four-handed man, "Who's afraid of whom?

The whole shop had been paying attention to the situation for a long time, and they immediately cheered when they heard Lisina's translation. The crowd clamored for a good show, and chicken bones and wine were thrown around.

"What are they shouting?" Rick asked Lisina as she turned her head.

Lisna tilted her head to listen. Half of them were shouting "Kill him" and the other half were shouting "Stab him in the asshole".

Lisna looked into Syke's eyes earnestly and said, "They congratulate the challenger on his success. 」

"Oh. Rick nodded stunned.

The ring is made of a stone that originally protruded from the ground, and the surface was smoothed. The reddish-black color of the upper part of the stone may have been caused by the penetration of something that does not know the comparison over the years. Wooden pillars are inserted around the ring, and ropes are tied between the wooden pillars to enclose the ring area. Some of the wooden pillars are older, some are newer, probably because they have been affected in some cases and have had to be replaced. Rick and the man with four hands each pulled the rope from opposite corners and stood on the stage.

Seren and Lisna rushed to the table and bet all their money on Xike. The dragon slayer Ampaert took great pains to attract the attention of the punters, throwing bones and spoons, and almost smashing the wine bottle on the punters' heads, but finally succeeded in placing the bet on the punter.

On the Nick side, only the three of them bet. Everyone in the store bets on the four-handed man.

The discussion revealed the experience of the four-handed man. He was a well-known warrior of his fleet and a constant victor in the ring here. Judging from the fact that he has fried chicken that is not brown but golden, and bread that is not messy at all, he is very courteous to the store, and he is almost the representative of this place. He also drank far better than the others, and it was not on the menu.

While waiting for the fight to start, the four-handed man let out a loud roar to the audience, folded his fingers at Xi Ke, and couldn't stop his footsteps for a moment, and kept walking around anxiously. There was murderous intent in his eyes, as if he couldn't wait to tear Xike to shreds. On the other hand, he kept his hands in his sleeves, his breathing was slow and heavy, and he didn't move a single step while waiting.

The number of hands is definitely not the point of winning or losing. A martial arts master with one arm can also beat a person with both hands on his stomach. Just by looking at this, Selian knew that Xi Ke was much stronger than the four-handed man.

A bartender with a cockscomb head tied a conspicuous red scarf around his neck, pulled up the rope and went on stage to be the host. He reintroduced the man to an audience that already knew the four-handed man, stirring up the atmosphere and stimulating the bets.

"From—" The bartender's voice was drowned out by the crowd's high-pitched cheers: "---" There was another frantic scream, whistle, and slap on the table. The crowd packed the ring.

The bartender shouted, "The greatest fighter, with an incomparable record of knocking down enemy teeth, two hundred and twenty-seven so far! Will it increase any more? The blood excites him, the pain makes him even more violent, and no one can stand in front of him for more than three minutes!"

After introducing the four-handed man, when the four-handed man had heard enough of the audience's cheers, he should introduce Xi Ke. But he turned to Tick and spent more than twenty seconds looking up and down, trying to find a word in his mind that could praise Tick, but he couldn't find a single one. Rick was dry, skinny, and shabby, and the bartender was poor in words.

"I—I'll introduce him!" Lisina volunteered to face the audience. She put her hands in a circle around her lips and shouted in the lingua franca of the place: "Syk, the strange man of death from Ataro, the exemplar of living and suffering, the bull's-eye of misfortune!"

There was a round of boos from the audience.

"A fugitive who has been wanted by the whole country, chased by the armed forces, and has been very beautiful, but then he has no money!" Lisina shouted as she raised her fist in her right hand.

Suddenly, everyone in the audience cheered, as if the experience had touched some memories in their hearts. The people in the audience shouted, "Long live the crime!" and "The law is dead!"

"It's better to be a bad thing!" Lisina shouted with both hands raised. The whole store was thunderous.

Neither the bartender nor Lisna understood what Rick was saying, but he always felt that the bartender's attitude was a bit insulting, and Lisina seemed to be speaking ill of him.

After Lisina finished speaking, she listened to a burst of cheers and stepped back from the stage. The bartender also took a step back, and the two duelists stepped forward. The bartender held up a spatula and lid that looked pitted and scarred, and could have been often caught up in a brawl, and shouted "Go!" while striking each other.

The four-handed man broke the rules before he could strike first. Unsurprising, he turned sideways, almost touching the other's outstretched arm, and punched the four-handed man in the nose. The punch was extremely heavy, and the vibration of broken bones was transmitted through his arm. The four-handed man was so painful on the spot that he squatted down holding his face, and the blood kept dripping on the ring and being absorbed by the stones.

There was silence for a while. Unexpected developments left no one speechless.

The rules of this ring are to fight until one side surrenders or plays. Nick didn't think the four-handed man would surrender in this way, and he stepped back to the edge of the rope and distanced himself.

Sure enough, the four-handed man quickly stood up. He wiped blood all over his face, his facial muscles contorted with anger. Bruises appeared on all four of his arms, and he grabbed at Xike.

As soon as Xi Ke's body lowered, he first stumbled under the feet of the four-handed man, and grabbed the opponent's belt with his hand. The four-handed man's own momentum was pulled up by Xi Ke, and the whole person flew into the air, crossed the rope and fell into the crowd outside the field.

Serian was in the audience, clapping his hands softly and silently.

The bartender's mouth couldn't even close. Before he could put down the lid of the pot, the winner would be decided.

The silence lasted for a long time, and Zuihou was broken by countless expletives. Profanity poured out of every corner of the store, from the mouth of every customer who bet on the four-handed man.

Selian Fei snatched a large bag, stuffed all the gambling money on the betting table into it, and then handed it to Lisna to take. According to the rules, the money is all theirs, but judging by the appearance of the masses, it is unlikely that they will obediently let this group of newcomers make their money.

"Syke, go!" Seren shouted at Syk in the ring, reducing the sword to a sword shape and holding it in his hand.

"I haven't asked him where the dockyard is!" Rick shouted as he ran to the side of the ring near Selen, grabbing the rope. He looked back and saw that the four-handed man was struggling in the crowd that he had overwhelmed, trying to get up and fight with Xi Ke outside the ring.

"I know I can't ask, we're going to flash!" Serense leaned closer to the ring, grabbed Syke's sleeve, and forced him down through the rope.

Angry customers blocked the exit and began to make up a lot of winners' reward rules that had not been mentioned before. Seren frowned, and didn't care if the other party didn't understand the standard language of Ethero, and yelled, "If you don't want to get hurt, get out of the way!" He swung his holy sword, and from the straight path he took to the door, it was like a trolley rushing past, and the guests bounced aside one by one, overpowering the crowds and tables and chairs next to them.

"Run!" Seren, grabbing Syk and rushing out of the store, followed by the other two.

The customer also chased after the shop, and Seren dragged the two of them down the street, slashing down some abandoned houses with his sword on the way, so that all the wood rolled into the street to block the pursuers.

After making sure it was safe, Seren stopped, let go of his hand, and said to Syke, "You will never be allowed to drink next time. You drink wine, and you don't think about the consequences. 」

"I think I can ask. Rick said with a lowered eyebrow.

"I'm going to correct what I said. You're not just ignoring the consequences, you're not even thinking about the results!" Serena glanced at the big bag in Lisina's hand and said, "At least now we have the money. The sun ball has also gone down, and we should find a place to spend the night. 」
