I weave fate in parallel time and space

Chapter 336 The Tavern Owner
"Ding bell~"

"welcome."

Following the crisp sound of the tavern door, a young man in uniform behind the bar spoke.

A head of white mid-length hair was simply tied behind the head with a tie, looking very capable.But the most special thing is his temperament. Although he looks very young, it is like ebony, with the precipitation left by the years.

The inside of the tavern is bigger than it looks from the outside, there is even a second floor, and the decoration is very stylish, at least in this small place.

But there are very few guests here, or in other words, there is only one sitting in front of the bar.It should be a regular customer of this store.

Because at the moment the guy is playing a game of chess with the white-haired bartender behind the bar, and it seems that the young man is slightly better, and the customer is frowning and thinking hard.

Nico didn't pass this street many times, but he had never seen a tavern here, because this street has almost nothing to do with business, it is the most corner of the city, and no one would come here for consumption.

Moreover, he also made a decoration that cost a lot of money at a glance, it was simply too much money and no place to spend it.

However, Nico obviously didn't have the time and was not interested in criticizing this person, but begged anxiously to the white-haired young man.

"Hello, sir, there is a group of bad guys chasing us, can you help us?"

The white-haired young man frowned slightly, and looked behind them, but he didn't hesitate, just said.

"Hide in my wine cellar."

With that said, the young man motioned for them to come over, and then opened the wine cellar door under his feet.

The door was almost integrated with the floor, if he hadn't opened it, no one would have noticed.

As soon as it was opened, there was a faint smell of wine inside. It was pitch black, and it was almost impossible to see the bottom. There was only one staircase leading to the bottom, as if leading to an abyss, which made people feel creepy.

In fact, Nico couldn't guarantee that the owner of this tavern must be a good person, but what he knew was that if Nauda was captured by those people, he would definitely die.

They were meant to be silenced.

So Nico can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

He took Nawuda down the stairs one after another, and Shaar also silently closed the lid of the wine cellar.

He looked out at the street through the glass door, and the group of men in black soon appeared on this street.

They searched from house to house, but went straight past the tavern.

It's like... not seeing this tavern at all.

The man sitting opposite the chessboard, thinking hard for a long time, finally raised his hand and grabbed the "bishop" in the black chess and took a step.

And Shaar raised the "rook" in the white chess, knocked down his "queen" lightly and placed it on the "queen" position, and this move directly left the "king" with nowhere to go.

"General."

"Eh."

The man sighed.

"It's getting harder and harder to beat you recently."

"Because your heart is not pure." Shaar said.

He said nothing for a moment, "When do you plan to release Hypnos?"

"He has been imprisoned for more than 100 years."

Yes, the man in front of him is Thanatos, the god of death in Hades.

"Do you want me to let him go?" Char said.

"I just want to know the exact time." He said, "He has not been in the world these years, and people and Hades have left a lot of troubles waiting for Him to clean up."

"It depends on whether he really repents." Shaar said, "Fate will choose the best time."

Thanatos was silent for a moment, and let out a long sigh of relief, "I understand."

"Then, I won't bother you too much. It looks like you also have your own chess to play." He slowly got up and left here.

For a while, he was the only one left in the entire tavern.

Xia Ya did not rush to open the wine cellar, but silently packed up the chessboard, then picked up a kerosene lamp from the side cabinet, opened the door of the wine cellar and walked down.
Nico and Nauda, ​​who had been shrouded in darkness all this time, held each other's hand firmly.

It was really too dark here, there was no light at all, they didn't dare to walk around at all, and there was a faint smell of wine all around.

They were very disturbed in their hearts, and they could hear each other's breathing and beating heart in silence.

Darkness is always the most primitive fear in people's hearts.

The cellar door opened above apparently saved them.

They raised their heads and saw the tavern owner coming down the stairs with an oil lamp. The bright but not dazzling kerosene lamp was swaying down like the brilliance of the sun at this moment.

He quickly came to their side, and they finally saw a part of the whole picture clearly.

You can see a large row of marble stairs, and there is a long corridor under the stairs, with many oil paintings on the theme of Greek mythology hanging on both sides.

This is Semmerer's wine cellar.

"They have already left." Xia Ya said, "But they should still be looking for you nearby, you can wait here for a while."

"Come with me."

As he spoke, he walked forward.

Nico and Nauda exchanged glances, but followed the strange tavern owner through the corridor.

They came to a circular hall, which was not as dark as it was just now. A beam of morning light penetrated through the glass skylight in the dome, and the cathedral-like style could still be seen in the dimness.

A labyrinth of wine cabinets filled with various barrels stretches from the ground to the spire.

The place was much larger than they had imagined, a hive of intertwined tunnels, stairs, platforms, and bridges forming a gigantic liquor store of uncanny geometry.

Nico thinks that the owner of this tavern should have bought all the nearby houses.

but
He frowned slightly, he always seemed to feel that the area of ​​the house outside was completely different from this place in his mind
The tavern owner led them to the middle of the hall, where there was a circular resting spot with a circle of sofas, which looked very comfortable.

There is a coffee table in the middle, and firewood is burning in the fireplace on one side, emitting a crackling sound, but the fireplace is glass, so it is probably because the sputtering sparks will ignite the surrounding wine cellars.

Shaar motioned for them to sit down as well, while he picked up two wine glasses from the coffee table, and opened a faucet inserted in a wine barrel from the fruit wine shelf on one side.

Some crystal clear wine flowed from the faucet and fell into the wine glass.

After filling the two glasses with fruit wine, he placed the two glasses in front of Nauda and Nico, and then sat opposite them.

Nico didn't touch the wine, but said, "Thank you for saving us, sir."

Now he has understood that the person in front of him should be a very rich invisible tycoon, and he opened the tavern above for fun.

Xia Ya picked up the wine placed on the table, and with a crisp "Peng", the alluring aroma of the wine permeated the surrounding area.

He poured a little wine into the wine glass in front of him, then picked up the wine glass and said while shaking it.

"The group of people, why are you chasing you?"

Nico had anticipated this question early on, and said.

"Nauda's family is very rich, and her relatives coveted her family's money, so they killed her parents and her uncle, and now they are planning to kill her again to inherit her family's huge inheritance."

"Oh." Shaar said sympathetically, "It's really pitiful."

"What are you going to do next?" Xia Ya said.

"Nauda's aunt is in Beichen." Nico said.

"Are you on a boat?"

"Taking an empty boat, they are very powerful, and there may be people from them in the port."

"In this day and age, you can get a lot of money by taking an empty boat." Shaar said, taking a sip of red wine.

Nico nodded, "There is an airship factory nearby. My uncle used to work there. I was wondering if they could lend us one."

"Capitalists can't afford to be early without profit." Xia Ya teased.

Nico bowed his head in silence for a moment and said, "But this is the best way I can think of."

"I do have an empty boat." Char said.

Hearing the sound, both Nico and Nauda raised their heads.

"Don't look at me like this, I was an adventurer when I was young." Xia Ya said, "I have been to many places in the world."

"When you were young?" Nauda looked at Shaar, "but you look very young now."

"Have you ever seen a young man with white hair?" Xia Ya said solemnly.

They shook their heads.

"I thought you were born with it," said Nico. "You know, there are some people in this world who are like that."

Shaar drank the wine glass and said, "My airship has been useless for a long time, but I can borrow it from you. But... one question is, do you know anyone who can fly an airship?"

"I will," Nico said.

"Oh?" Xia Ya showed a little interest on his face, "It seems that you have abilities that don't match your age."

"Where have you been?" Nico asked curiously.

"Too many, I have been to every country in the world, and I have even been to the North Pole." Shaar said.

Nico raised his eyes in surprise, "It's easy to go to the North Pole by airship, but it's not so easy to come back."

There was once an expedition team who tried to cross the North Pole in an empty boat and landed in America, but the empty boat crashed and no one survived.The news made headlines at the time and was widely circulated in airship circles.

"My luck has always been good," Char said.

"Why do you go to so many places just for adventure?" Nauda asked curiously.

Shaar raised his eyebrows, "Part of the reason is for adventure, and the other part is to find a legend."

Nauda and Nico looked at each other, and she continued, "Sky Island?"

"It seems that you have also heard this rumor." Xia Ya teased.

Nico lowered his eyes, "You probably didn't find it either."

"No, I actually found something."
