Chapter 656: Advent
Southeastern border of Jagon.
In the small town that is already close to Lukang, it is winter again.
This is not good news for coastal dwellers, who rely on fishing for their livelihoods...... The fish will swim south throughout the winter, and if the weather is worse and it is difficult to get out to sea, it is expected that the income will be affected for many days.
Ordinary residents don't have so much savings to consume, maybe it's too late, and they won't be able to eat for a day or two.
It doesn't taste good!
And what's even more terrifying is the hazy weather, even going to sea is a problem, not to mention other things.
Usually at such times there is no way for the fishermen to go out and spend the whole day in the bar, even if it is for the night, rather than endure the nagging of their wives at home......
The rain on the coastline began to spread.
As a tavern business for half his life, Sauron was already familiar with everything here, and even looking at the weather knew if there would be business today, and when he saw the weather today, he knew that there would be a lot of customers coming to stay late.
I looked at the cups in the back......
I guess I want to take out those that are not used often, and you can take them out during this time!
Soon, the first guest came to the door.
Sauron looked up......
Old friends.
"The weather is bad today, hopefully it didn't pollute your mood. Sauron smiled and placed a cup on the table first.
As long as the people in the entire seaside town stay long enough, everyone will know each other, and what kind of wine everyone likes Sauron has already figured out, and first poured half a glass for each other, but looking at the mood of the man in front of him, it still doesn't seem to be very good.
"It's been affected for a long time!" the man took a sip and banged the table angrily.
This was also expected by Sauron, so he used a wooden wine glass at first!
"It seems that you are in a bad mood today, my old friend. "Pour another half a cup.
Still drink it with a stuffy head.
It wasn't until the fourth glass of alcohol began to get the nose on his head that the man slowed down.
Looking at the scene in front of me, I began to trance......
"I say, Brother Sauron. You still smell so bad in this tavern!" the man was in the mood to talk about other topics after a few drinks.
It's still early in the morning, and while there are not many people in the tavern, the two still have a chance to chat slowly.
"Hasn't it always been like this, let me guess...... You must have been kicked out by your sister-in-law again today?"
"Hmph, old woman, I should have listened to my sister and kicked her out......! Complaining about that...... I'm still thinking about going to the city to buy a house and do business, I'm sorry!" the man who heard Sauron talk about his wife was even more angry.
"My sister-in-law looks very nice, not like such a complaining person. ”
Sauron put down the polished glass, his eyes fixed on the wine in his hand.
Almost~
It would be good at this point, and the remaining glass was enough for him to drink slowly into the evening, otherwise he would have to owe a lot of money for the wine as before, and he would not be able to pay it back.
"That's just what you see, what that guy is best at is disguise, dressing himself up like a noblewoman. Walk like this...... ...... like this"
The man comically began to twist and imitate, and finally even he couldn't help laughing.
"She's not that life!"
"Oh?"
Sauron deliberately took the wine behind him, and he would not pour it again unless the other party paid for it, and the consumption of normal people was only these three or four glasses, and if there were any more, he would be drunk, and he would not be able to drive away when the time came.
"Brother Sauron, why don't you pour wine?" the man urged.
"The weather has been bad lately, the roads are closed, the merchants who have come from the city to deliver wine have not come for a long time, and I am almost out of drinkers who have brewed myself. Sauron then made an excuse.
And just then another person came in at the door of the tavern!
Still old acquaintances.
"Long time no see, Brother Sauron. ”
"It's been a long time. ”
The two greeted each other, and even the drunken man who was already sitting at the bar suddenly greeted the person who came......
It's really not a big town, which leads to a lot of people getting to know each other.
"What have you been up to lately?"
"It's still the same set of salvaging seafood, and there is no income...... This weather is driving people crazy!" said the new man, sitting down.
Gave the money first.
This is the rule of most people's guests, only when you give money can you drink, usually only the first guest is an exception, so many people are willing to come early, but there are always people earlier than themselves!
"It's not a kind weather, but I hope the sun god will protect us and ensure that we have a good harvest during the difficult winter. Sauron prayed as the other did.
"By the way, have you heard about the East recently?"
The new man suddenly changed the subject.
In such a closed town, the roads are not good, most people are lazy to wander around the nearby villages all their lives, and a lot of news can only be heard from passing merchants or arriving mercenaries.
"What's the matter?"
Both Sauron and the drunken man came closer.
"It's just that there is a ghost on the eastern seaside, it's very evil!"
"Ghosts?"
"That's right, it's a ghost. It's the evil creature that the bard says is everywhere. The man spoke mysteriously, which made the two even more curious.
"In the east?"
"It was in the east, and it is said that many people saw that their relatives who had gone out to sea and died had returned, so they chased after them to look for them, but there was nothing there, and they disappeared completely into the sea. ”
"Such an evil sect!"
"Not only that, but what I've heard is much more serious, and it's said that similar situations are happening in many places. On a foggy and rainy day, ghosts can be seen all over the sea. ”
