Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

"Song of Spirits"

This was the first tavern with a sign that Ye He saw after fifteen minutes of setting foot in Shipwreck Bay.

Fiona, who followed Ye He, also had her eyes lit up, and took the initiative to introduce to Ye He: "Sir, if you want to taste the best wine in the endless sea, Old Kratos' Song of Spirits is the best choice here. ,none of them."

"Oh? Then let's go in and take a look."

With the strong recommendation of Fiona, a "local", Ye He also became a little interested in this pub.

He stepped forward and opened the door, and the sultry air unique to the tavern immediately hit his face.

Along the way from the port, there is no tavern that is not noisy, and the same goes for the Song of Spirits. Pirates enjoying the carnival fill almost every location.

A simple bagpipe-like instrument was played by the pirates. The music could only be said to be barely in tune, but it was enough to provide a cheerful background sound to the pirates' noise.

The pirate who knocked on the empty wooden cup was calling the bartender to bring him drinks. The pirate who lost the arm-wrestling yelled and cursed louder than the winner's laughter.

The pirates gathered for gambling while playing with a tattered pair of poker cards. Occasionally, someone would be caught cheating and then exit the tavern to "solve matters on their own."

In the end, depending on the amount of the fraud, the pirates with the larger number will decide whether the pirates with the smaller number will be thrown into the sea or into the extremely dirty alley behind the tavern.

Yes, the "punishment" is decided by the party with the greater number, not by whether or not the party pays a thousand. This is the "rules" of pirates.

The number of pirates in Shipwreck Bay has been witnessed by Ye He along the way. In fact, Victoria was indeed the pirate king of the East China Sea in the Endless Sea. During its heyday, her fleet was indeed the largest pirate fleet with the most ships in the East China Sea.

But the number of Victoria's pirate men does not account for one-tenth of the total number of pirates in the entire East China Sea of ​​the Endless Sea.

The pirates are just so chaotic.

So even if pirates keep leaving the tavern for various reasons, more pirates will always come in, and every wooden bench in the tavern will not be empty for more than three seconds.

Two young girls were constantly bringing out drinks from the back to the front, minimizing the urging of the pirates. Of course, when the girls put down their drinks, the pirates had to pay the girls to take them back.

The two girls who acted as waiters were very busy. The sultry air made them sweat profusely and wet their thin clothes. They looked like their youthful vitality was about to burst out.

However, whenever a "new" pirate reaches out to the energetic bodies of the girls, the pirates next to him will always slap their hands away, and then smile and ask them:
"Do you want to be beaten by old Kratos, or by all of us? Believe me, we can do it much easier than old Kratos."

Ye He and Fiona had just entered the tavern. Fiona seemed to know in advance that they would not be able to get a seat on the first floor. She pulled Ye He's sleeves and led Ye He up to the second floor.

The hustle and bustle downstairs is still there, but the air on the second floor is suddenly "fresher". There are five tables here, but only two of them have a man and a woman sitting on them.

They also knew Fiona, and apart from nodding to each other, their eyes immediately focused on Ye He.

How is this going?

The eyes of this man and woman were full of questions.

How could Victoria's daughter bring a young man to drink, and he was an Oriental?
Ye He didn't want to irritate the pirates on the first floor, so he restrained his dangerous temperament when he entered.

He accepted Fiona's invitation to sit down first, and then watched Fiona lean out over the fence on the second floor and shouted to the bottom:
"Lily! Golden Rum!"

"it is good."

A girl's response sounded from the first floor, and Fiona sat back with satisfaction.

After meeting Ye He's eyes with a calm and leisurely expression, Fiona blushed slightly and shivered, not knowing what topic to talk to Ye He.

Ye He happily admired this red-haired girl who was still brewing feelings, but his attention had already come downstairs because he seemed to have seen a familiar figure just now.

The girl "Lily" who received Fiona's order immediately returned to the small bar deep in the tavern.

She removed a beautifully packaged bottle of wine from the counter and placed two clean glasses on the tray.

After making preparations for "meal preparation", the girl did not rush to take away the wine, but said to a muscular figure smoking behind the bar:
"Father, I seem to have seen Mr. Ye He."

"Who?"

Old Kratos put down his pipe and straightened his back slightly.

His body is not only strong, but also extremely tall and strong. His bald head makes him look particularly ferocious. What is even more eye-catching is that there is a huge scar on his abdomen.

Even all pirates knew that this bearded old man was just the tavern owner of Liquor Song, not a pirate.

But based on Kratos's ridiculously strong body, invitations to Kratos to "come aboard" have never stopped, including Victoria, who has been rejected several times.

Seeing his daughter pointing to the golden rum at hand and then pointing upstairs, Kratos looked up at the ceiling and squinted his eyes slightly, as if he was looking at Ye He across the floor.

He lowered his head and nodded to Lily, then stood up, holding the tray with the wine bottle and wine glasses firmly in his hand with one hand, and started walking towards the stairs leading to the second floor.

The noisy and chaotic atmosphere on the first floor of the tavern suddenly stopped due to Kratos' movement.

This is because it is the first time for all the pirates to see Kratos delivering drinks in person. Everyone is very surprised. Who can get this kind of treatment that even Victoria does not have.

The sudden silence on the first floor, and the sound of a heavy step on the stairs, causing the entire floor to creak, made the customers on the second floor look towards the stairs in surprise.

Only Ye He slightly raised the corners of his mouth. It seemed that he was right. He was really an "acquaintance".

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Along with the mournful sound of the wooden stairs, a rhythmic footsteps became louder and louder from the other side of the stairs.

A bald head first appeared in everyone's field of vision, and then Kratos's unruffled face.

Old Kratos? Why would he come here in person?
Fiona glanced at the other people on the second floor in surprise, and finally focused her uncertain eyes on Ye He.

Fiona knew another man and a woman. They didn't have such a big "face". After all, their status was not even as good as her own, and her own mother didn't even have it.

It can only be Ye He! but why?
When Kratos showed his eyes, his eyes were already locked on Ye He, and he also explained to Fiona and others who he personally sent the wine for.

Ye He's eyes fell lightly on Kratos, looking at this incredibly strong man leisurely.

When Ye He saw the huge scar on Kratos' abdomen, Ye He smiled even happier.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Every time Kratos stepped onto the second floor, the entire tavern seemed to tremble.

His steps were as steady as ever, and each step was a fixed distance. He only took five steps from the stairs to Ye He's desk.

The tray in his hand was placed on the table, and the wine glass was sent to Ye He and Fiona. With a gentle squeeze, he broke off the top of the golden rum bottle, and then he He poured a glass of the golden wine from the bottle into the glass in front of Ye He.

In the process of completing these actions, Kratos' eyes kept looking at Ye He, without even looking at the bottle or glass.

A smell of gunpowder that suffocated Fiona spread crazily between Ye He and Kratos. Even the man and woman sitting at other tables couldn't help but hold their breath.

"Thank you."

As if he didn't notice Kratos' hostility, Ye He thanked Kratos calmly.

This made Kratos's eyeballs move slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He picked up the tray, turned around and walked downstairs.

When he took five steps and returned to the stairs, he suddenly stood there and stopped.

Even Fiona held her breath completely now. She felt that the two people were about to fight.

"You're free of charge."

But Kratos, who finally spoke, only conveyed such a brief sentence, then raised his legs and stepped down the stairs.

After a while, the first floor started to be noisy again, as if nothing had happened.

These noises made Fiona feel discouraged and let out a long sigh of relief.

When she turned around, she saw that Ye He had raised his glass and drank the golden rum, his eyes as calm as ever.

How did he know old Kratos? What ever happened between him and old Kratos?
Many questions filled Fiona's mind. She opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to ask Ye He. In other words, she wasn't sure whether she should ask these questions.

"Fiona, didn't you go to fight in the navy? Why did you come back so soon? Who is this handsome guy?"

The woman who was also on the second floor suddenly moved to the chair next to Fiona and struck up a cordial conversation with Fiona.

Her eyes were shining, and she was looking at Ye He crazily. It seemed that she was also full of curiosity about what happened between Ye He and Kratos, and she also had stronger mobility than Fiona.

I can't help but be curious. The tense atmosphere between the two of them just now was so scary, but in the end it was Kratos who gave in and waived the bill for Ye He!

"Rachel..."

Fiona was startled by Rachel's sudden enthusiasm, but she noticed the way Rachel looked at Ye He and immediately understood the other party's true purpose.

"Kratos probably opened this tavern two or three months ago, right?"

Ye He, who put down his wine glass, met the eyes of the two ladies and suddenly asked them a question.

"Yes sir, do you know Kratos?"

The person who answered Ye He was Rachel. This female pirate with brown hair and a good figure showed a very familiar attitude towards Ye He. She did not button her buttons, casually tied a knot on her shirt and held it up. This kind of clothing with a burden on the chest is as unrestrained.

"Well, I asked him to come here from the north of the mainland. He can be regarded as...an old friend."

"Oh? Can I know the reason?"

Ye He's response made Rachel even more excited. She moved her stool and sat closer to Ye He. While deliberately lifting the burden on her chest with her arms pressed on the table, she winked at Ye He seductively.

A faint sweet fragrance came from her body, and Ye He quietly asked Camelot to form a mini air filter inside his nasal cavity, so that he would not become like the blank-eyed Fiona.

Then, like a normal pirate, he got closer to Rachel, eating tofu with his eyes, and smiled at Rachel:
"Did you see the scar on Kratos' stomach?"

"Uh-huh."

Rachel, whose eyes became increasingly blurry and seductive, nodded quickly.

"That was a meeting gift I gave him. I blew it up."

Ye He casually took out a high-explosive grenade and waved this round gadget in front of Rachel, whose eyes were getting frightened.

As expected, she keenly discovered that this was an extremely dangerous explosive that could wipe out her body. What was even more frightening was that this thing was less than five centimeters away from her!
The man at the next table had jumped out of the window without thinking, away from the danger. Even Fiona, who was bewitched by Rachel's "scent", was immediately brought back to her senses by the boiling inspiration.

Before jumping back, she was shocked to see clearly Ye He, who was playing with an iron ball that was the source of the threat, and Rachel, who was sitting next to Ye He, very close to the iron ball, and her whole body was stiff. you.

"But I didn't kill him because he was a good person and sensible. He left that land of right and wrong and didn't fight with me. That's why he invited me to drink this glass of wine."

Ye He, who was like a normal person, continued to speak. He threw the grenade into his wine glass, then brought the glass to his mouth and took a sip.

After nodding with satisfaction, Ye He brought the glass of "wine" to Rachel's mouth.

"Taste it?"

Ye He gestured to Rachel.

Rachel was on the verge of tears.

How could this man be so dangerous? I shouldn't have come here on a whim to get to the bottom of it.

How could she dare to open her mouth? This man's smile was so charming, but his eyes were so cold.

It seemed that as long as he dared to open his mouth, he would let himself swallow all the wine in the wine glass and this terrifying and dangerous explosive!
"hehe."

Ye He reluctantly touched the edge of the wine glass to Rachel's lips and slowly tilted the glass.

The cold golden wine crossed Rachel's red and sexy lips, dripped along her chin, sprinkled on her load, and finally disappeared into the deep valley.

The obscene teasing and teasing meaning were self-evident. When the grenade in the wine glass came into contact with her lips, Rachel's body trembled slightly, and she was so frightened that she was helpless and did not dare to move.

"Hehehe."

After bullying the female pirate who dared to come and seduce him, Ye He finally removed the wine glass. As soon as the glass was filled, the grenade inside fell into the open silver ripples and disappeared.

It was just a high-explosive grenade. The pirates downstairs were drunk and did not receive the dangerous aura of the grenade to intimidate them unless Ye He threw the grenade down.

While they were making noise, there were also some shrewd pirates who kept rolling their eyes and gathering together with their companions to discuss something in a low voice.

The bar counter and the stairs on the second floor. Their eyes kept moving back and forth between these two places.

They were really curious about why Kratos personally sent the wine, but they didn't have the guts to go to anyone for confirmation.

They are not even qualified to go up to the second floor, because the second floor of every tavern is reserved for pirates of the captain and the captain's closest relatives.

Even though pirates are so chaotic, there are some "rules" they follow more strictly than any other industry. After all, in the world of pirates, the penalty for making a mistake is likely to be death.

So they could only secretly peek at old Kratos who had returned to the bar, but the old man just sat back behind the bar, smoking his pipe as usual, and occasionally taking a sip of wine.

"Father."

After finishing her work for a while, Lily returned to the bar. While resting against the bar, she asked old Kratos:

"Is it Ye He?"

Kratos did not answer, but responded to Lily with the firelight in his pipe that was lit longer.

"Oh."

Lily understood that she had not recognized the wrong person, but her father did not conflict with him. Although this was a good thing, it also made Lily more curious.

"Is it really Ye He?"

Another girl also returned to the bar. She threw the recovered drink money into the cash box behind the bar and asked Lily.

After receiving a confirmation nod from her sister, she and Lily looked towards the second floor together.

Unlike Kratos, who had "passed", the eyes of the two girls turned cold at the same time.

Kratos raised his brows and looked at the unusual gazes of the "daughters".

He knew that he could let go of his hatred. After all, it was Ye He who once let him off the hook. When he met Ye He this time, he didn't come specifically to cause trouble for him.

Kratos was once a member of the rebels in the northern part of the empire, a senior instructor in the rebels, and a "general" named by the top rebels.

His "daughter" is his instructor, a "spy" secretly cultivated by the rebel organization, in order to paralyze the corrupt imperial officials and generals with their beauty and age during the war, and to cause damage to the empire from within.

Unfortunately, Ye He destroyed his base with a series of explosions, killing countless rebels, as well as many of the companions of these young spies who had just completed their "training".

What Kratos remembers is the gaze that Ye He looked at calmly. Everyone has their own masters and needs. Personal hatred in war is extremely small.

But the two girls who were lucky enough to survive seemed to only remember this cheap personal hatred.

Forget it, the war is over and the rebels have been destroyed. Even if they go to trouble Ye He, judging from Ye He's current attitude, he won't embarrass them too much.

So Kratos closed some eyes again, neither asking the "daughters" to give up hatred, nor making any suggestions to them.

Now after the war, Ye He is still living well.

If they couldn't understand the meaning of this fact, they would still have to provoke Ye He, and they would have to bear the consequences themselves.

More than an hour later, Ye He held Rachel's shoulders and came down from the second floor, followed by Fiona, and left the tavern.

The two girls immediately looked at each other. I don't know how they did it. Two waiters suddenly came over and took over their work, allowing them to leave through the back door of the pub.

Kratos watched all this quietly and took a quiet puff of his cigarette.
