dark moon

Chapter 311 is late

The tavern is the only special place in the Lion City. The citizens who over-advocate the rules will only temporarily break free from the shackles of the rules under the stimulation of alcohol, showing the nature of an independent individual.Loudly talking and laughing, wanton indulgence, showing the truest and most rude side of yourself, drinking heavily, and letting the alcohol impact your already numb heart.

It's not yet noon. Logically speaking, the tavern should be deserted. However, in the Lion City, there will be no shortage of customers at any time of the day. Just like now, the tables in the tavern are already filled with seven or eight people. It's as lively as any pub in other cities at night.

Although there were a lot of people, everyone found Duck's location as soon as they entered the tavern.

After all, not everyone is like him, wearing full scale armor and sitting at the wine table drinking. Not everyone is like him. In such a short period of time, there are two more beautiful girls around him. According to Safu, just now Not yet, and judging by their attire, they are both locals. Judging by their temperament and demeanor, they are definitely not bartenders who make a living. I really don’t know how he does it. It’s really enviable... No, no, it's too irritating.

Ahem, the focus was wrong, the mistake was wrong. Xiuer coughed dryly to cover up his jealous heart. Well, the focus was on the unknown person opposite him.

A man in his 30s, somewhere between young and middle-aged. His appearance is about the same as Dak. Judging from the energy intensity in his body, he must be a warrior, but he does not carry any weapons and is wearing ordinary casual clothes. The most distinctive feature is the bright red short hair, which stands on the top of the head, giving people the feeling that if they touch it, they will definitely prick their hands.

In front of the two of them, there were already more than ten empty huge ale glasses, and more filled glasses were placed on the other side.The ale of the dwarves is not something as soft as a drink like the aromatic wine brewed by the elves. It is strong in nature, has a stimulating taste, and has a high alcohol concentration. It is said to be enough to make a giant dragon intoxicated.However, it was this kind of strong ale that the two of them drank like drinking water. When they raised their heads, it was half a glass, but they were not drunk at all. On the contrary, the more they drank, the more sober they became. Two beautiful women clung to Duck's side, skillfully He peeled off the shell of the dried fruit and put the nuts into Duck's mouth with a happy smile.

"Hey, are you done?" Before they could walk over, the two drunkards had already sensed their presence. Duck waved his hands without looking back, "Come and sit down, the dwarf ale here is the best. Don't drink it." After a few drinks, I’m too embarrassed to tell anyone that I’ve been to the Lion City. You two go home first, and I’ll draw lots later to see who I’ll go to first tonight, and the other one will have to wait until tomorrow.”

asshole.Xiure secretly raised his middle finger and said, this is not jealousy, absolutely not.

The two women giggled and left, but the red-haired middle-aged man had no intention of leaving at all. Well, the meaning was obvious.Xiure nodded with a half-smile and arranged for others to sit at other wine tables. He, Lisa and two teammates, pulled out a chair next to Dak and sat down.

"Who is this……"

"I don't know." Duck took a sip of ale and reluctantly peeled the fruit shell himself, "I should be looking for you."

ha?do not know?Drank a dozen glasses of spirits with someone without knowing you?Do you guys think there's nothing else to do in the world except women, fights, and drinking?

"Nonsense, is there anything more important than these three things?"

Tsk, what Dake said makes sense, but Shuer was speechless.Idiot, you are such an idiot with no pursuits. You don’t understand the value of gold coins at all. The most important thing in the world, except Lisa, is only gold coins. Only a depraved guy like you would put wine and women first.

Xiure curled his lips and refused to continue communicating with this idiot who had no pursuit. As for this guy he didn't know...

"Here, have a drink." With a swish sound, a large glass of ale was pushed in front of Xiuer. Before Xiuer could react, the other party had already downed half the glass in one go, then raised the glass and said with a smile, "For Parvatija."

"Holy, the Lord teaches us..."

"Your Lord doesn't care about this at all." The truth was revealed in one sentence, without saving any face for Shuer. "Come, drink."

Simple, direct, straightforward, forthright, and not artificial at all, this was Xiuer's first impression of this red-haired middle-aged man.

Shaking his head slightly, Shuer picked up the wine glass under Lisa's worried gaze.When he was in his hometown, he didn't mind drinking strong liquor. When he came to Parvatiga, how could his body be afraid of just strong liquor after being repaired by divine power, "Okay, for Parvatiga."

After drinking it all, Shuer's eyes lit up, as if he had regained the feeling he had on the eve of the war, when he was surrounded by fires and toasting with hundreds of soldiers.

"Okay, okay, okay, not bad." The red-haired middle-aged man laughed loudly, imitating Xiure's example, and emptied the wine glass in his mouth, "This is how you can be considered a man, hahahaha, happy."

"Ha, let's have another drink." Xiure chuckled and picked up the wine glass. Hey, this red-haired guy is really hard to dislike. It's a pity, it's such a pity. "What on earth do you want to do?"

"Hold a ceremony." It wasn't a drunken gaffe, but the red-haired middle-aged man didn't want to hide it at all. "It's a ceremony that requires the participation of hundreds of gods and the unanimous cooperation of their temples to complete it."

"What's the specific purpose?"

"can not say."

"I guess it's there." I knew it, and Xiure sighed secretly, "Just ask casually, maybe you can get the answer." "No one who knows the answer can tell, this is a must, otherwise I don't mind Tell you."

"It's a pity. This glass of wine is for you, it can be regarded as a farewell." Shuer shook his head and raised the glass, "I'm really sorry that I made your trip in vain."

"Fuck, it's really a step too late." The red-haired middle-aged man looked nothing like a clergyman. He drank wine with a troubled expression, "I knew it was definitely not a good sign for that old guy to snatch you back in a hurry. , x, you have already lived in the church of water?"

"Well, we're staying."

"Are you sure you want to participate in the Water Curtain Festival?"

"Yes, it's confirmed."

"Damn, damn, you're not just pretending to lie to us? Are you really sure?"

"Haha, I originally planned to just put on a show, but on a whim, I just turned the show into a reality."

"Fuck, fuck, now you're in trouble." The middle-aged red-haired man scratched his red hair in distress and muttered dissatisfied, "You said you are a grown man, why do you have to get together with a group of women?"

"Nonsense, I'm not a sea elf. If I don't get along with women, how can I still get along with men?"

"Well, although I didn't mean it that way, but thinking about it carefully, it seems to be true." The red-haired middle-aged man opened his mouth wide and looked at Xiure blankly, as if he had met him for the first time. Well, he was indeed It was the first time he met Xiuer, but he really didn’t expect that Xiuer would answer like this. Haha, he is an interesting guy. What a pity. “This is going to be troublesome. If your sky god system determines its position, then we will soon No hope at all?"

"So I just said, I'm really sorry."

"What the hell, why did you suddenly make up your mind? I said, this is your idea. Those women who spend all day in the water don't have the courage to force you to form an alliance." The red-haired middle-aged man suddenly looked up and down Xiu Er, "How about I find an opportunity to kill you?"

"This is a way, but do you dare? Even if you dare, does the one above dare? It is a covenant of the temples, but they swore to the void with their real names." Shuer was not worried at all and said with a normal expression. , "Besides, even if you can kill me successfully, at least this time, nothing can be changed."

"x, what about our plan? It's not a good outcome if the ceremony can't be held."

"Actually, I don't quite understand." Shuer tapped his thigh lightly and asked, "Why do you have to carry out your plan? Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to trick you into asking about your fundamental purpose, but I'm referring to your differences. No one has bad intentions in this kind of thing, everyone has good intentions, but why..."

"Huh, in the face of crisis, forge ahead with determination, rely on your own strength and try to change everything. This is what a courageous person should do, instead of being like those women who are soaked in water and asking us to just go with the flow. Naturally. Are you talking about being afraid of counter-effects? Are you kidding me? There will be no counter-effects if they don't do anything. It's ridiculous. How could they understand that even if it is a counter-effect, it is also a kind of effect. At least it proves that everyone has tried hard. Only by trying to do it can you have a chance to change everything. Doing nothing and waiting for things to develop naturally will only lead to self-destruction in the end."

"It's not that they refuse to try, but they hope to find the safest way before trying. Trying that is not safe enough is like gambling, and they are gambling with everyone's everything. You are too radical. No wonder she... ..." Xiuer shook his head and did not reveal the question about the Earth Mother, "However, I suddenly feel that I seem to have guessed who you are."

"I am not the apostle of Lord Ares. Don't get me wrong. His apostles are not the only ones who are so courageous."

"Oh, I didn't say you were." Shuer said with a smile. "He has a violent personality, decisive actions, and straightforward manner. He likes dwarf spirits from deep in the mountains the most, and he is very fond of Lady Wendy and her followers. I have a prejudice and think that they are worthless. In addition, Lady Wendy stands on your opposite side without any hesitation. There is no psychological burden at all. Hahaha, red hair suits you very well, Lord Ferrers. Praise to the Lady of Light Fire, illuminate the darkness of the world, praise the scorching fire, purify all uncleanness in the world, praise the Lord of Flames, O'Fregen, holy."

"Praise the Lord, holy is it."

　The double fare is actually true. I want to express this too much, so I describe all aspects of things in detail from various angles. Some of these things actually do not need to be stated. In this way, not only the rhythm It was dragged extremely slowly and was counterproductive, making it seem extra draggy.

　　This problem has existed since Yala's later years, and I have tried to change it many times, but accidentally fell back into the old ways. This will seriously reduce the readability of the novel, and is the most fatal flaw.For example, if this chapter were to be explained, expressed, and described at the same pace as the previous few days, it might have been stretched into several chapters. Now, after deliberately condensing it into one chapter, and reading it back, it doesn't seem as inappropriate as I imagined.

　　Keep trying, I'm groping my way in the dark, I hope you can give me a little more time and patience.

　　In addition, thank you to the friends who gave their opinions, and please other friends not to be hostile or blame them. I can tell that they want this book to be better, that's why they put forward these opinions. If they don't want to, they don't bother to say these things at all.

　　So thank you all and I will keep at it until I find the path I want to find.
