All Heavens: Start with Monster Hunter

Chapter 154: Drizzt's News
"Sarah's house?"

Li Qing began to look around in this not-so-big space.

Because it was underground, there was naturally no light, and the lit oil lamps also had a slightly pungent smell, but fortunately compared to the air in Bilgewater, the smell was much more bearable.

The overall area of ​​the room is not large, only about ten square meters.

But the layout is quite cozy.

There is a bed and a small table with some small ornaments on it.

It looked as if Sarah had collected it.

There are also some books and notes that show signs of having been read.

It’s not a big wardrobe and there don’t seem to be many clothes in it.

There was also a small room next to it, which Li Qing thought was a small tool bench used to repair guns.

To be honest, this kind of living environment is definitely not suitable for a bounty hunter like Sarah who has already made a name for herself.
But Li Qing did not express too much doubt.

Because he had already realized that this place was not Sarah's permanent residence, or in other words, this place was actually a hiding place for Sarah.

Perhaps it was where she lived before she started to make a name for herself.

As for why Sarah brought him to this place, Li Qing didn't know.

But Sarah gave the answer:

"I haven't been here for a few days. Please sit down for a while while I clean up."

Sarah stretched her body, gave Li Qing an instruction, and started to clean up the room.

Li Qing sat obediently on the bed as she instructed, waiting for Sarah to clean up.

But it didn't take her much time. After just a few minutes, she had cleaned the entire room. After all, the room was not big to begin with.

From under the table, she pulled out two bottles of wine that had been there for who knows how long and were covered with a layer of dust. After wiping them, Sarah opened both bottles and handed one to Li Qing.

Then he sat down next to Li Qing, handed the wine to Li Qing with one hand, and his eyes flashed with an inexplicable light:
"have a drink?"

Li Qing looked at this woman, who was completely different from the one he first met.

A smile appeared on his lips, and he picked up the wine and clinked it with Sarah:
"Cheers, then?"

Without any hesitation, the two men put the bottle mouth to their mouths and started drinking.

But just a second later, Sarah spat out the wine, and Li Qing put down the bottle with a strange look on his face.

"Sister, what kind of wine do you have? How many years have you bought it?"

"Don't tell me this is the fine wine you've collected for many years. I think the taste is a little too strong."

"Bah bah bah!"

Sarah kept sticking out her tongue. Her charming face just now was now full of disgust. After hearing Li Qing's question, she hesitated and didn't know how to answer: "It should be four or five years, right?"

"Four or five years?"

Li Qing looked at Sarah in shock, picked up the bottle and looked at it carefully: "Am I seeing right? This is just an ordinary fruit wine bottle?"

"Isn't this some high-end alcoholic beverage? You let me drink it after it's been sitting there for four or five years. You might as well have just poisoned me."

Sarah's face suddenly turned red, but she would naturally not admit that she didn't know it would be so unpalatable.

He casually placed the bottle on the table beside him, leaned against Li Qing, held Li Qing's hand with one hand, leaned his face close, and blew his breath with the smell of alcohol on Li Qing's face:
"Actually, I didn't mean it. I think you will choose to forgive me, right?"

Li Qing looked at her speechlessly, then looked down at his arms that were already sinking into her plump breasts.

To be honest, I don't feel tempted at all.

Not to mention that Li Qing is not a lustful person, the key point is that the taste of the wine is still lingering in his mouth. His sense of taste is sensitive, so this taste is even more unforgettable for him.

Sarah saw Li Qing's expressionless face and felt a little hesitant.

The main reason is that she is not sure about Li Qing's origins.

If there was any affection, it was at most a good impression based on appearance. The desire to devote herself was nothing more than wanting to hold Li Qing's hand with her body. But after all, this matter still made her hesitant.

The most important thing is that Sarah found that she didn't seem to be that attractive to Li Qing.

But now that the atmosphere had reached this point, Sarah gritted her teeth, no longer hesitated, turned over, picked up Li Qing, then covered his mouth, and pushed Li Qing hard onto the bed.

In the small dim space, a battle that was not too intense took place.

After all, not only is the space small, but Sarah's physical condition is just that of an ordinary human.

Not to mention Sharina from the Elder Scrolls world, even compared to Ciri she is far inferior.

After just a few rounds of fighting, he could hardly bear it anymore and could only call for a stop and beg for mercy.

When he got up, Li Qing took out his smart watch and found that most of the day had passed. It should be the time he had agreed to meet with Raymond.

So I quickly called Sarah to get up.

Sarah had naturally woken up a long time ago, but after waking up she didn't know what to do so she just sat in a daze beside Li Qing.

Only after being reminded by Li Qing did he lazily get up and put on his clothes.

Then he noticed the watch in Li Qing's hand.

Pretending to ask: "What is this, is it your magic item?"

Li Qing looked down and saw that this watch was a smart watch he bought from the cyberpunk world.

It doesn't have any major function, it can just detect the wearer's physical condition, record time, locate direction, etc.

Li Qing usually just uses it to check the time.

After all, functions like making phone calls are not used in most of the world.

After hearing what Sarah said, Li Qing thought about it and threw the watch over.

“It’s just a watch.”

"It can record time, locate the direction according to one's own position, record a map to help determine the position, and detect physical condition."

"gave it to you."

Sarah naturally would not refuse. She took the watch happily. After Li Qing taught her how to operate it, she understood it.

She happily wore it on her wrist, and it looked pretty good against her white wrist.

"good."

Sarah raised her eyebrows, leaned over and kissed Li Qing on the cheek, and lifted Li Qing's chin with one finger: "You didn't let me down, little man."

Li Qing looked at the woman speechlessly.

He thought the other party was attracted by the watch, but it turned out that he was doing PUA tonight!

It slapped her on the butt, causing Sarah to scream.

"Okay, stop doing this."

Without further ado, Li Qing quickly got up from the bed and pulled Sarah out of the basement. After walking out of the dilapidated house, Sarah immediately changed her appearance and returned to being a bounty hunter with a bit of charm in her indifference.

He slightly distanced himself from Li Qing, walked ahead, and soon arrived at the Blue Flame Tavern again.

I pushed the door open and walked in. There were already several people inside.

Graves was one of them. He was sitting in the corner and talking to Raymond about something.

At the bar, there was a dark-skinned man with dreadlocks, dressed in clothes that were not very trendy, and with two pistols bulging on his waist.

However, it seemed that just like Graves yesterday, he didn't get any useful information and soon walked out of the tavern in disappointment.

Li Qing glanced at the other person, thinking about something, but he didn't say anything to keep the other person.

Sarah also didn't pay attention to a stranger. She walked directly to the table where Raymond and Graves were sitting, interrupted their conversation, and asked Graves directly:
"how do you feel?"

Graves picked up the beer and poured it into his mouth. He put the glass on the table and sighed, "It's so damn comfortable. I don't know how long it has been since I had a good night's sleep."

"There will be a lot more in the future, and they will be much better than this place." Sarah raised a smile: "But the premise is that you can pass our test."

"Come here on horseback."

Graves didn't say much and answered directly.

"Don't be so anxious, Graves. In fact, your test has not been decided yet."

Raymond smiled at the side. He had actually just arrived at the tavern not long ago and just had a brief chat with Graves, mainly talking about what Graves had experienced in the past.

After a brief understanding, Raymond actually approved of Graves' joining.

As long as what he said is true, then the other party is definitely not a simple person.

As the team is getting bigger and bigger, he as the deputy captain has more and more things to take care of, and it has reached the point where he can no longer control it.

The key point is that most of the subordinates and crew members today are actually not very reliable.

Whether one is loyal or not is another matter, but just talking about ability is not enough.

Of course, the loyalty of the crew members and sailors who have witnessed the power displayed by Li Qing this time is almost full.

Now when they see Li Qing, some people don't even dare to speak loudly to him. When they call Li Qing behind his back, they call him "He". They really worship Li Qing as a god.

But you never know, Li Qing’s current strength might be almost the same as Feng Nu’s.

After all, Li Qing doesn't need any faith, and his foundation is much stronger than Fengnu, who believes in God.

After a brief chat, Sarah lowered her head to check the time on her watch, then said:
"Raymond, how is the news going? Has anything major happened recently?"

Raymond tapped his fingers on the table:

"The biggest problem is that Gangplank purged some nobles and merchants in the upper city. I guess the hatred of those nobles towards Gangplank has reached its peak this time, and of course the fear is the same."

"It's not realistic to expect them to take the initiative to deal with Gangplank, but if they see Gangplank weakening and take advantage of him, I'm sure these guys will be more ruthless than anyone else."

"Besides this incident, there are some vague rumors, and I don't know whether they are true or false."

"What rumors?"

Sarah continued to ask naturally, and Li Qing came over with the wine he had just ordered and sat next to Sarah.

Raymond sorted out the language:

"Well, recently in some ports, people have seen a woman with a smiling face."

"It is said that someone saw this woman fighting against the sea beast."

"Rumor has it that the whip wielded by this woman can easily cut a monster as big as a mountain into pieces."

"Anyway, it's a pretty weird story."

"Also, there have been a lot of workers and sailors missing at the docks recently. It is said that the Blood Harbor Ghost did it."

"Damn it, things are really restless these days, all kinds of monsters and demons are popping up."

The more he talked, the more helpless he felt. Raymond had never seen these monsters in Bilgewater in his entire life. Who would have thought that he would have seen and dealt with two of them in less than half a month.

I’m about to meet the third one, who knows if the fourth one will also come to join in the fun.

He doesn't have Li Qing's ability. If this really happened, his wife would probably become a widow.

Sarah nodded to show that she understood.

But to be honest, these are not things she should worry about.

Bilgewater still belongs to Gangplank now, so it is not her turn to worry about such things.

Li Qing was reminded by Raymond and remembered something:
"Um, there is a day called Soul-Devouring Night in Bilgewater?"

"Soul-devouring Night?" Raymond frowned. "Isn't there still some time left?"

"But it seems like it's almost here. Gangplank and his fleet stopped them the last few times, so it shouldn't be a problem this year either."

"is it?"

Li Qing nodded, it was indeed almost time for the Soul-Devouring Night.

He said that the man he just saw looked familiar, and it was indeed Lucian, the Holy Lancer.

That is to say, the stage has actually been set, waiting for the actors to take the stage, and the big show in Bilgewater can begin.

It’s just that in the original plot, Sarah appeared as the protagonist, but now after his arrival, I’m afraid she will become the heroine.

Graves picked up the bottle again and took a sip, his eyes empty.

He doesn't care about the Soul-Devouring Night or Gangplank. Now he just wants to find that bastard Tristram as soon as possible, take revenge on him, and then think about what to do next.

Marlene walked over with a plate of snacks in her hand and placed it in front of Li Qing under Sarah's cold gaze.

"Oh, right, beard."

"You asked me about your companion yesterday. I have some clues."

“Now that you belong to Sarah, you must be rich, so do you want to know?”

Marlene smiled and said, "It will be useless after this time."

"What??"

Graves perked up all of a sudden and stood up immediately: "Tell me, no matter how much it costs!!"

"Wait a minute!" Sarah interrupted quickly, "I haven't agreed yet!!"

Fortunately, Graves did not ask Sarah for help, but looked at Li Qing for help.

Li Qing felt Graves's pleading gaze and smiled:
"Just say it, Marlene."

"You can put it on my account."

"But, Graves, you owe me a big favor."
