Doomsday Totem

Chapter 217
At the end of the song, Tie Slag wiped the harmonica lightly, and put it back into his pocket.At this moment, the old man made a faint sound, and Tie Slag leaned over to listen carefully.

"Young man... this is... what song is this?" The old man's voice was faint, like a flame that would be extinguished at any moment.

"Brilliant Battle Song." Tie Slag looked at the old man and replied in a low voice.

"So... this is... our song... I can hear it tonight... I... have no regrets in this life... young man... thank you... I... I have a secret... I want to tell you ...Secret...Listen to me..." The old man's breathing became more and more rapid, his eyes gradually became lax, but he still persisted, and said with all his strength, "There is...an old man in the old street in the west of the city... ...the blind...not really blind...because...he has...the ability to turn into...worms...he is waiting...has been waiting...was waiting..."

The voice became weaker and weaker, and finally calmed down.Looking down, the old man closed his eyes peacefully, as if he had fallen asleep peacefully...

After a long time, Tie Slag stood up silently, and quietly left the square where the passers-by were led.After walking for a while in the narrow alley, the front suddenly opened up and entered a brightly lit street.Looking around, the place is bustling and bustling, with neon lights flashing, which makes people feel sad. There are two completely different worlds inside and outside the street.

Iron Slag wandered the street for a while.During the period, when passing by a bakery, he turned in and bought a bacon sandwich bread, wrapped in oiled paper, and walked while eating.This kind of bread is fermented and baked from wheat flour, cut into two equal pieces, then fried with two pieces of bacon and an egg, and finally coated with salad dressing.This practice combines the eating styles of the Western Continent and the Central Continent. Toasted bread is the main meal in the Western Continent, while smoked meat is the main dish in the Central Continent.The combination of the two can meet the needs of most residents in Sandcastle.

Walking along the road, there are many Far Eastern restaurants on the street.However, prices in Far Eastern restaurants have always been on the high side.Although the Far Eastern continent is barren, the dishes are very rich, and there are many ways to make it. Compared with the western and central continents, the production process is more complicated.For example, people in the western mainland like to eat pizza pancakes. The production process is quite rough. Basically, all kinds of vegetables, meat, cheese, and sauces are spread on the wheat pancakes, and then thrown into the oven to bake for half an hour.In contrast, people in the Far East eat more carefully, from ingredients to knife skills, to heat, etc., are very particular.Usually cooking a meal can last a long time.

After eating the sandwich bread, Tie Slag clapped his hands, turned his head and saw a bar named "Big Rum", and walked over.This is a medium-sized bar, about the width of four or five facades, and the visual area is around [-] square meters.

Pushing open the double fence doors, Tie Slag was about to enter the bar, but someone came in front of him, just blocking his way.The person who came was a middle-aged man with a shaggy beard, about the same height as Iron Slag, and a slightly wider build. A sword handle and a gun handle protruded from behind his shoulders.Judging from the attire, this is a bounty warrior.The so-called bounty fighters are mercenaries who spend their days in the sandcastle, earning money by hunting bees, ants and swarms, but without a fixed organization.

At this moment, the middle-aged man stopped in front of Tie Slag, as if he had no intention of giving way, and the latter also stood motionless, also showing no intention of giving way.When Iron Slag was in Tieshan Town, he didn't have the habit of giving way for others. He would drive straight in wherever he went, and the local residents were afraid to avoid him, so there would be no such embarrassing scenes.

"My friend, please let me go." After a few seconds of silence, the middle-aged man said.Iron Slag didn't move out of the way directly, but turned his body sideways, giving way to half of the passage.The middle-aged man glanced at Tie Slag, then walked sideways.

After this episode, Iron Slag entered the lobby of the bar.At this time, only half of the tables were filled in the hall, and the business was neither good nor bad.He randomly found a corner and sat down, and a bar girl came to the table with her buttocks twisted, put her body down, and greeted: "This handsome guy, good evening~ What do you want to eat and drink?"

This bar girl looks to be in her early thirties, with a voluptuous face, thick lipstick, and a bright red low-cut leather jacket, exuding a mature smell all over her body.Under the dim light, the girl's face was somewhat hazy, bringing an unspeakable temptation.

"A glass of rum," Iron Slag said.Rum is a low-grade alcohol made from sugarcane. People in Iron Mountain Town like to drink this alcohol the most. It is cheap and affordable, and after a few bottles, even a burly man will get drunk.

"Handsome guy, do you want to find someone to accompany you? The girls here are pretty." The girl asked with a smile.

Tie Slag was not very interested in Liuying, after all, he had just bullied the goddess of happiness a few days ago, and besides, Qin Ke'er and Mu Qianhe were by his side.Even if he really needs it, there is no need to be here.He was about to wave his hand to refuse, but after thinking about it, it would be good to find someone to ask about the situation, so he asked, "How much?"

"It's only three gold for the night package~" the bar girl opened her palm and said in a tired voice.

"Only drink." Tie Slag waved his hand and said.

"What a good man~ Let's go home to accompany my wife tonight~" The bar girl leaned over, gently pushed Tie Zha's shoulder, and said, "It only costs five silver to accompany you for a drink."

Iron Slag nodded, and the bar girl smiled at him, then turned around and walked away waddlingly.On the way from the table to the bar, she would look back from time to time, which made Tie Slag's scalp tingle.

Not long after, the bar girl brought three young girls to the table and said to Tie Slag, "Handsome guy, they are all good girls, and they all came to work here just a few days ago." Looking at the three girls, she introduced them one by one, "Her name is Xiaoxue, her name is Xiaolan, and her name is Xiaoyue..." Then, facing the three girls, she ordered, "Little Hoof~ Hurry up and introduce yourself~"

The No.1 girl bowed to Tie Slag, and then said, "Hi, my name is Xiaoxue, and I come from Nancheng in Beihuang."

"Hi, my name is Xiaolan, and I come from a plantation in the south of the Central Continent." The No.2 girl bowed and said.

"Hi, my name is Xiaoyue, I grew up here..." the No.3 girl bowed and said.

Before finishing speaking, Tie Slag pointed to the No.3 girl and said, "That's her."

"Yo~ handsome guy has good eyesight~" the bar girl patted Tie Slag's shoulder familiarly, and explained, "We Xiaoyue is just a baby bird~ You have to teach her well~ Otherwise she can't fly What~" She paused, and added, "It's only twenty gold for a night package~"

Iron Slag nodded lightly, expressing his understanding.The bar girl who had been in the nightclub for many years quickly realized that the customer in front of her was the type who didn't like to talk, so she stopped bothering and left with the other two girls.

After a while, the waiter brought a glass of rum, put it down and asked, "Hello, guest, what else do you need?" Tie Slag took a sip of the sweet rum from the glass, moistened his throat, and turned to The girl named "Xiaoyue" asked, "What would you like to drink?"

Xiaoyue looked at Tie Slag timidly, and said in a low voice, "I... just drink water."

"Have a glass of water and a fruit platter." Tie Zha said to the waiter.The latter immediately bowed and saluted, turned and left.

After the waiter left, Tie Slag sat without saying a word until he drank most of his glass of rum before the waiter brought water and a fruit plate.After the waiter walked away, Xiaoyue nervously picked up the small fork, forked a piece of apple and brought it to Tie Slag's mouth.

Tie Zha glanced at the timid little girl, reached for the fork, ate a piece of apple, and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm not a bad person..." As soon as Tie Zha finished speaking, Tie Zha himself felt a little embarrassed.From any angle, this sentence has the taste of a big bad wolf deceiving a little girl, and it is so strong that it cannot be described.

Looking at Tie Slag, Xiaoyue suddenly pursed her lips and smiled, guessing: "You must be a big person, and you don't often come to this kind of place."

Tie Slag nodded, as a tacit consent.As for whether he is a big shot, he didn't think too much about it, after all, in Liu Ying's eyes, as long as he can afford money, he is a big shot.

"Just now... when you came in just now, I saw..." Xiaoyue took a sip from the water glass and said, "You are very powerful... No one here dares to stand in the way of Uncle Hagrid, especially When he was drunk."

"Who?" Tie Slag asked after taking a gulp of rum.

"Uncle Hagrid, he is a very powerful bounty fighter. He often eats here. He is usually a nice person. We all know him." Xiaoyue said.

"So that's how it is..." Tie Slag responded casually, then changed the subject and asked, "Did you grow up here?"

"Yeah." Xiaoyue nodded and said, "Our home is in the old street in the west of the city. It's very lively and full of people. Uncle must go and see it when he's free."

Hearing the word "uncle", Tie Slag couldn't help rolling his eyes.Since when, in the eyes of the little girl, he has risen to the level of "uncle".Even with all his plans, he is only 21 years old this year.The girl in front of him was at least fifteen or six years old, and it was only a few years before she started calling him uncle.

However, this cannot be blamed on Xiaoyue's clumsy eyes.On the contrary, the root cause of all this is Xiaoyue's sharp eyes.Born in the old street in the west of the city, she knew how to read words and expressions since she was a child, so she was misled by Tie Slag's calm temperament and guessed his real age wrongly.

Tie Slag, who was born in the Northern Wilderness, has experienced hardships since he was a child, matured as a young man, and has been taught by Kezan for more than two years. His mental maturity has far surpassed most of his peers.If you look at temperament alone, he is at least 30 years old.After all, when others were in elementary school, he had to find food for himself; when others were in junior high school, he was already a famous figure in Tieshan Town; , he is already the law enforcer of Tieshan Town, and his hands are stained with blood.
