Dawn of the Grey Tower
Chapter 136
In fact, when cheese asked sparrow to lead the way to his boss, the sparrow refused. If a dangerous person like a mage is directly brought into the boss''s nest, then the transaction between them is smooth. But if there is any problem, then naturally no one dares to ask cheese to compensate for the loss. However, sparrow, who has exposed his hiding place in front of the cheese, will certainly be in bad luck.
"Remember, after we arrive, you''d better not look around, especially don''t look at people, and don''t take the initiative to talk to those people..." Walking down a sparsely populated street, sparrow kept telling the cheese around him what he should and shouldn''t do. These experiences were summed up by the sparrow himself, and he had been regarded as a precious creed of life. But now, in order to prevent the confusion caused by the guy who punched five or six strong men into the hiding place, he did not care about these.
As for whether the master is listening to the little sparrow''s nagging, I''m afraid it''s not so sure. And instead of sparrow''s repeated advice several times without knowing it, cheese''s attention was more focused on the surrounding streets. Naturally, there are no obvious areas in the royal city. In fact, in this city, places like brothels are strictly controlled. Although there is no official operation, it would be a bit of self deception to say that there is no royal family behind these places.
So the place called hiding place in such a city will not be full of chaos and disorder like other places like this. Judging from the appearance, this pub with the sign of "red blood" is no different from that for mercenaries or other low-income groups. However, according to sparrow, this humble tavern is the external place for the leader of the underground world in Cangshi King City. Anyone who wants to find one eye or needs help from one eyed people can find the service they need here. The premise, of course, is that they can pay a price commensurate with it.
Under the leadership of sparrow, he pushed the door into the tavern, and cheese soon felt the difference between it and other similar looking pubs. It''s too quiet to compare with Elsa''s "top of the dragon''s spine" or any other restaurant where cheese has been. In the slightly dim light, all the drinkers here keep a depressing silence. They just sit in their seats and drink something. The two people sitting very close to each other do not talk.
The sparrow gently pulled the corner of the cheese to show him to follow, and then they went straight to the bar. There was only a bartender standing there. The bartender was a young man who looked very elegant. Of course, the black cloth on his face that covered his left eye was excluded. Perhaps those ladies who have not experienced in the secular world would regard the bartender as a handsome young man, but cheese noticed the hands exposed when wiping the glass. It''s a pair of hands that are good at using daggers. Obviously, the bartender has a very dangerous part-time job in addition to his own. But it''s hard to say which part-time job or the bartender''s job is what he really depends on to make a living.
"Is he one eyed?" Cheese stood at the bar and looked at the bartender. Clearly, there was a bar, but the mage''s intuition told him to try not to get close to the young man. It would be very dangerous and stupid.
Hearing the mage''s question, before sparrow had time to speak, the bartender said after a slight smile.
"Of course not. Have you ever seen a boss cleaning a cup here? You can call me shadow if you like. So, what would you like to drink? "
The cheese frowned, and he wanted to tell the shadow that he was not here to drink, but to find his boss to buy the antidote in Sparrow''s mouth. But before his words were spoken, the sparrow had already pulled him down and whispered to him.
"Whatever you want to do, it''s the rule here to have a drink first."
Cheese tilted his head and accepted the strange rule. It didn''t take long to get rid of those hooligans just now, so the mage is not in a hurry.
"Well Then honey wine Said cheese to the shadow.
"Honey wine? Don''t you think about something else? I have the most complete wine storehouse of the whole Cang lion, and, with all due respect, honey wine tastes like fermented horse urine. " The shadow was a little stunned after listening to the cheese. Indeed, as he said, honey wine may be called a kind of drink in the areas where there are not abundant materials, but its taste is really too intense for most people. Coupled with the poor taste, even the poor people don''t like it very much.
"No, my drinking habit." Said cheese. Indeed, the taste of honey wine is not good, but in the north where supplies are scarce, especially in the place where the grey tower is located, the mages don''t put their energy on wine making. So since master Da began to drink wine, he drank honey wine most. Its taste has become a certain habit of cheese, so in the choice, even if there is a better wine, but cheese or tend to choose what they are familiar with.
"Are you sure? I have beer from last year''s cellar, some ale and wine. How about this one? " Shadow is still trying to promote the aging wine in the barrels behind him. It can be seen that he enjoys the identity of a bartender very much. Even he was afraid that cheese was ordered the cheapest honey wine because of the lack of money in his pocket. He offered to buy cheese for a drink."A glass of honey wine, with ice if you have ice. Thank you However, the bartender''s hospitality did not move the mage, cheese just repeated his plan to think of a good honey wine.
"Well, well, I see." Shadow or compromise in cheese under the insistence. He raised his hand in recognition of his life, then turned and looked down in the bottom barrel for the one with honey wine.
"By the way, sparrow, what would you like to drink? When I went to buy wine this morning, they gave me some unfermented juice by the way With his back to the bar, the shadow asked.
"I want the same as him." The sparrow sat up beside the cheese, trying to make himself less afraid. It was so quiet and frightening that sparrow, who had not been here for the first time, was still sweating behind his back.
"That won''t do. You know the rules, the wine is for the guests, and you are just the little bee that brings the guests The shadow said, pushing the two cups to the two people in front of the bar. The cheese was given a glass of amber wine, while the one to sparrow was served with grape juice.
"Well, I''ll drink here one day!" Whispering the oath, sparrow took his glass of grape juice and drank it. For him, this glass of grape juice is also a rare delicacy, but drinking in the "red blood" has a certain symbolic significance. The shadow is not so polite to those who are not good enough.
"So, can we get down to business?" "Cheese," he asked with his glass.
"Don''t worry, my friend. Finish your glass first. Then we can get to the point. " Said the shadow, and poured himself a small cup of honey wine. Then after a shallow taste, he spits out his tongue. He really doesn''t like the taste.
"Can the bartender here drink whatever you like?" Cheese took a sip of the wine and turned to sparrow.
"When the boss is away, the shadow is the biggest in this tavern. He can drink whatever he wants. " Said the sparrow with a shrug.
Once again, he tilted his head, and cheese felt that he was more and more confused about what medicine the barman was selling in his gourd. The mage drank the honey wine in the cup three times and two times. He showed the empty bottom of the cup to the other party, indicating that he had finished drinking.
"Ha ha, it''s really a generous guest. So Have you noticed that I poisoned the wine? " The shadow looked at the cheese glass and said with a smile.
