"Why! Pochi is our partner, and we should be together as partners! By the way, bars in other towns allow us to bring Pochi with us, so why not here!"
Who would have thought that the boy named Axel was not interested in what the young man said and insisted on bringing this big dog, which looked extremely ferocious in appearance, into the bar with a rather rude tone.
"Axel! We are not here to cause trouble..."
The beautiful female warrior frowned and reminded.
"Who said we were going to cause trouble? I've been communicating with you!"
Axel turned his gaze to the beautiful female warrior. Although what he said was normal, his tone was somewhat polite.
"Is it true that we can't go in?"
The handsome young man in the lead first touched the scary big dog next to him, and then asked the bartender again.
It was clear from his tone that he didn't want to leave his dog alone.
"This...this is our bar owner's rule..."
Some of the hesitant bartenders were already a little frightened by the boy in the mecha, and they were even more afraid of the big armed dog in front of them that could rival the Noah monster.
"Okay! Since you can't decide, where's your boss? Let him come out to see me!"
The mecha boy named Axel raised his eyes when he heard what the bartender said, and he didn't even want to look at the bartender.
"this……"
The bartender glanced at the bar hesitantly, and when he saw the hook-nosed middle-aged man inside was busy making drinks, he turned his head again, and then said: "I'm sorry, I don't know what your identity is when you ask to see us. boss".
To say that this bartender has been working here for a long time, he is easy to distinguish between what kind of people can be provoked and what kind of people cannot be provoked. The three people and a dog in front of him look quite fierce, but he knows These people won't mess around in the town anymore, but this dog might. The other one they said they want to see the boss, can anyone meet the boss? If you can meet the boss alone, then I'm afraid the boss will fire you first. Although you often come into contact with drunk people at this bar, and you will be looked down upon by others, the remuneration for this job is still considerable. Yes, if I lose him, I will never be able to find such a good job to support my family.
"identity?"
Axel glanced at the bartender, then reached into his arms and took out something as fast as lightning.
"Axel!"
The young man was startled when he saw that he was about to take something out of his arms, and he quickly spoke to stop him, but it was too late. The boy named Axel had already taken out the things from his arms.
"Is this identity enough?"
With a cold snort, Axel stretched out a golden badge in front of the bartender. Although the bright golden light was not very visible in an environment like the bar, the golden badge was barely visible. If the bartender can't see it, don't use his own eyes.
"Enough...enough...I'll go now!"
The bartender was stunned for two seconds after seeing the badge, and then he reacted. Then he looked at the three people and one dog in front of him with a look of fear, turned around and ran towards the hook-nosed man at the bar counter. , he bumped into a few people along the way, and he ignored the curses they provoked, got up and continued running.
"You're doing this too openly, and you're going to make a lot of enemies for us, you know?"
The young man leading the team shook his head, then squatted down, hugged the big armed dog's neck and rubbed it.
Axel made a "cut" sound, and then said nonchalantly: "Are we afraid of the enemy? If so, then let me use cannons to make him realize what fear is."
After saying this, Axel turned to look at the beautiful female warrior and asked, "Are you afraid?"
"I just don't like to cause unnecessary trouble, because it will waste time, and I don't like to be with crazy people."
The beautiful female warrior glared at him, and then said something else.
"Rena is right. We have just entered this level, so we shouldn't be too showy."
The young man didn't mean to blame Axel, but he also agreed with what the female warrior named Reina said. After all, what she said was the more mature idea.
"Ken, you are too careful when doing things. Who are we? We are Metal Storm? Gold Hunters, who on the West Road doesn't know us? Just this one, who dares to trouble us even if he doesn't care about his life?"
Axel waved his hand disapprovingly. He didn't think it was anything. Instead, he felt that the halo around him should be brighter, and he wanted to let everyone know his identity.
After a while, the bartender led a short man in his fifties or sixties through the lively crowd and walked over. However, neither of them dared to get close to the scary-looking big dog and stayed far away. Standing about three to five meters away, he made an invitation gesture to the three people and one dog and said, "Our boss wants to invite you."
"What to do with Pochi?"
Ken didn't just leave, but looked at his big dog.
"Our boss said, this one...oh no, you can all come in, and all your purchases in our store today are free of charge."
The little man originally wanted to talk about the dog, but when he saw that Axel's face was about to explode again, he quickly changed his tune and rounded off his words.
"It would have been nice to have done this earlier. Why go to all the trouble?"
Axel immediately laughed, then patted Pochi's head happily and said, "Let's go eat something delicious!"
The three people and the dog left just like that, led by the bartender and the little man who came with him.
Before leaving, intentionally or unintentionally, the beautiful female warrior named Reina suddenly glanced in the direction of Ma Tao. This glance made Ma Tao come back to his senses and quickly pretended to look elsewhere, but still Pay attention to the situation on their side with the corner of your eyes.
Reina suddenly showed a charming smile, and then lay down in Ken's ear to say something to him. Ken then turned his head and looked in the direction of Ma Tao.
This was good. Ma Tao secretly saw the beautiful female warrior turn her head back, and thought she didn't notice anything. He was about to continue observing, but suddenly saw the young man named Ken turning his head, and the two of them looked at each other. Looking at each other like this, not even the crowds and dim lights in the bar could block the chance eye contact between these two people.
have to!
Now that he was discovered, Ma Tao no longer planned to hide, and just stared at him.
After looking at each other for three seconds, a smile appeared on Ken's face, and then he turned and left.
They left, and Ma Tao couldn't calm down with the surprise in his heart. The metal badge that Axel just took out kept flashing in his mind. It was a gold-level Glory Hunter badge.
Golden Hunters are at the same level as Red Wolf. Although I don’t know how many Golden Hunters they are, they are Golden Hunters after all. Reaching this level is already an honor that can be recorded in history, and it is what Ma Tao yearns for the most. of glory.
In a daze, Ma Tao didn't know how he got back to their wine table. It wasn't until his sister next to him patted him that Ma Tao realized what he was doing.
"What's wrong?"
My sister asked, seeing that he looked a little lost.
"Nothing, just thinking about something"
Ma Tao explained casually.
After staying in the bar for more than two hours, the five people finally left the bar. What made Ma Tao curious was that he did not see the three people and the dog in the bar. He must have gone to a place like a private room. Come on.
Not surprisingly, both Gao Han and Xiao Jinzi had a lot of drinking fights. They smelled of alcohol and were very drunk. However, Su Lanyu later, for some unknown reason, actually joined the drinking battle, and even more so. He had drunk a lot, but he seemed to be quite sober, but his steps were a little frivolous and he was shaky when he walked, so he had to be supported by others.
Gao Han and Su Lanyu were supported by their sister. The two women were not heavy, and together they only weighed about 200 kilograms. They were supported by their sister, one in each hand, and left.
Ma Tao was dragging the little gold with him, rather than dragging him. Drunk people don’t know how to cooperate with others. To describe it in one sentence, they were as dead as a pig. Ma Tao also You have to worry about this kid not vomiting on yourself for a while.
Xiao Jinzi drank until he was almost unconscious. Even so, his mouth was still busy. He was gurgling and he didn't know what the kid was talking about, but he could still vaguely hear something like Ruoruo, If Xiao Ruo is like this, this kid must also want An Ruo that girl.
The pain of lovesickness is a disease. To put it bluntly, lovesickness is a disease. To put it simply, lovesickness can be divided into one-way, two-way, and reverse.
One-way, this is often called unrequited love - for example, Sister You in Dream of Red Mansions, when Jia Lian forced her to get married, she had no choice but to say that the person she loved was Liu Xianglian, but because she never told her The other party has confessed, so the other party has no chance to get close to her and get to know her. In the end, Liu Xianglian resolutely rejected her pure love based on the rumor that Jia's house was clean except for the two stone lions in front of the door, forcing her to commit suicide to clarify her ambition. Liu Xianglian became a monk and traveled far away because of self-blame.
In both directions, although this kind of lovesickness is mutual, if it is tinged with paranoia, it will also cause harm to both parties. The love story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai belongs to this kind of love story - Liang Zhu and Liang Zhu love each other, but they are not in love with each other. Being opposed by Zhu Yingtai's parents, Liang Shanbo suffered from psychosomatic diseases because he could not get love, and finally died of depression. Zhu Yingtai also committed suicide in the end.
On the contrary, this must be interesting. This situation is actually a mental illness-patients often firmly believe that a person of the opposite sex has fallen in love with him, although they may not have said a word. In this regard, patients often have specious feelings. explanations, such as thinking that someone is destroying their love and wanting to break them up. This is called delusion of love in psychiatry.
Xiao Jinzi and An Ruo had to be separated temporarily because of the plague in Seoul. For a while, the situation in Seoul was not getting better. It has been a few months since they left Seoul. Previously, Xiao Jinzi and An Ruo They also kept in touch frequently, especially in the dead of night. You could often hear the kid muttering on his watch. Later, as time went by, the contact between them became less ordinary. Now, the kid only drank too much. I was thinking about An Ruo girl who was far away.
When I came out of the bar, it was already two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was just a little bit westward.
When he returned to the hotel, he threw Xiao Jinzi on the bed. Ma Tao sat on his bed and gasped for air. As for Xiao Jinzi, he had already fallen asleep.
"You brat! You must have done it on purpose."
Standing up helplessly, Ma Tao looked at the dead dog-like Xiao Jinzi and shook his head, then started to take off the boy's coat and protective equipment.
It took nearly ten minutes to figure this kid out. After covering him up, Ma Tao was already covered in sweat.
Everything was settled. Ma Tao pulled the chair aside and drank two large gulps of water. Looking at Xiao Jinzi lying on the bed, Ma Tao thought of the three people and the dog in the bar again.
or? Go to the Bounty Hunter Service Center?
With curiosity in his heart, Ma Tao did it as soon as he thought of it. Then, Ma Tao closed the door and went out alone.
Since they didn't know the specific location of the Bounty Hunter Service Center, and they didn't see the sign of the Bounty Hunter Service Center on the way to Iyer Town, they could only ask by mouth.
Thinking that he didn't see the service center along the way, Ma Tao walked towards the inside of the town.
The square outside is still so lively, but the flow of people has reduced a lot. After all, it is almost ten minutes after sunset, and people after a busy day have to go home to rest.
Generally speaking, most of the houses at the back of the town are the residences of local residents, such as chariot shops, human weapon shops, etc. They are almost all built in the most conspicuous locations when entering Chengguan Town, making it easier for outsiders to find them. , naturally very few people will come to the back, so most of the buildings built in the back are not very important or not very popular, such as the teleportation device that every town has, this place will be built behind the town , or they are built underground, anyway, they are all inconspicuous places.
After leaving the hotel, Ma Tao, who was wandering around, came to the only water source in Ir Town, a well.
Because it's not dinner time yet, the residents of Iyer Town haven't cooked yet, so there aren't many people coming here to fetch water. The ones in front of them are all women who are washing clothes or doing some things.
These are all local residents, and because they are all women, they must know a lot from their daily chat. Ma Tao planned to ask the women who were fetching water and washing clothes by the well about the specific location of the Bounty Hunter Service Center. .
As soon as he got closer, Ma Tao stopped again because the women who were washing clothes mentioned a few words.
"Really? There are people who moved from Wuge Village!"
The woman in dark blue clothes rubbed the clothes in the basin vigorously and said to another woman in light blue clothes next to her with a look of disbelief.
"Of course it's true. Those shabby houses at the end are the people who moved from Wuge Village. Oh, you don't know, those poor people can hardly afford to eat."
The woman in light blue clothes explained when she saw that she didn't believe it.
"Really? That's really pitiful."
Upon hearing this, the woman in dark blue clothes muttered in disbelief.
"So, we have to take care of everything at home. If it is lost, they must have stolen it."
The light blue woman said something again, which seemed to be a kind reminder, but in fact it was just to withdraw her wife's tongue.
Stealing things is unlikely to happen in Iyer Town. Firstly, there are city defenders patrolling. Secondly, the population here is actually not large. The appearance of thieves is the most annoying thing for the town managers, so naturally they will not ignore it. If a town is full of thieves, then the town's reputation will be completely ruined because of thieves. Therefore, thieves are like street rats, a scourge that every town must eradicate.
Ma Tao must be about ten meters away from these women, because he is in the direction where they are speaking, and the voices of these women are not shy, so their voices are not quiet, and Ma Tao can hear them clearly. Clearly.
"No lyrics again..."
Ma Tao muttered softly, more like talking to himself.
"Wuge Village is not far from here. If the bandits really pay attention, it will be dangerous."
A strange voice came from behind him. Ma Tao turned around, and the person speaking was actually a fully armed city defender. He was a male, wearing a helmet, a bulletproof vest, and military boots. The weapon he was carrying was an individual volley of artillery. At this moment, this guy was leaning on a The tree looked at Ma Tao with great interest.
"What? Are you interested in Wuge Village? Do you want to join the city defenders? How about providing the best weapons and equipment to ensure that your family has enough food and clothing?"
Seeing Ma Tao turn around, the city defender actually wanted to offer an olive branch to Ma Tao.
Only then did Ma Tao notice that the brochure on his shoulder had one more bar than the others. He was probably a squad leader or a leader, otherwise he wouldn't be able to walk around at will. After all, most of the city defenders were They are patrolling or taking over shifts in groups of three or five.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm not interested in staying in one place for a long time."
Ma Tao didn't know the city defender and confirmed that he had never met him, but he still nodded politely and rejected his kindness.
"Don't like being in one place? Are you a bounty hunter?"
The captain of the city defenders in front of him looked at the equipment on Ma Tao, and then smiled slightly. From Ma Tao's words, he already knew the true identity of this young man.
"Yes"
Ma Tao didn't hide it, and he didn't want to hide it either. The issue of identity was already revealed when they entered El. To be frank, El already knew about their arrival. After that, if in front of him If the city defender wanted to inspect it, he would also need to cooperate, and the identity of the bounty hunter was no secret.
"Are there...a lot of bandits around here?"
Ma Tao asked again.
"There are quite a few, especially in this recent period, there are always bandits making trouble, which is quite a headache."
After answering, the captain of the city defender team looked at Ma Tao without giving up, and then said, "Every man should have the responsibilities of a man and become a hero. I can see that you are a good bounty hunter. My name is Lake." , the city defenders welcome you to join us at any time.”
After saying that, the city defender who called himself Lake turned around and left.
As soon as Ma Tao turned around, the women who were washing clothes had already left. At this moment, there was another group of women at the edge of the well. Most of them were cleaning up some vegetables and so on, and some even got some fruits. , looks very tempting.
"Um...are these fruits for sale?"
With a craving in his mouth, Ma Tao took two steps forward and wanted to spend money to buy a few to try.
The woman who was being questioned by Ma Tao first looked at Ma Tao warily. From his clothes, he could tell that he was a foreigner, and he also had weapons on him. In addition, after nearly a year of fighting, Ma Tao There is more or less a violent aura about him, and even though his voice is very controlled, it still makes people feel this aura.
This is not nonsense. Soldiers who have walked out of the battlefield and soldiers who have never been on the battlefield are completely different concepts. They are also two types of combat power. The former is decisive in killing and can do anything to the enemy in order to survive. The latter is just They have no theoretical knowledge and no practical experience at all. Many people even completely forget what they usually learn about excellence when they get to the battlefield. This is all possible and has happened.
"There is a store selling these nuts at the dilapidated building in the back. If you want, you can buy it yourself."
After looking at Ma Tao, he probably felt that he couldn't offend Ma Tao. The woman who was questioned by Ma Tao said this and stopped talking to him. She quickly finished the vegetables and a few berries in her hand and left. opened.
Several other women were also very vigilant and hurriedly packed up their belongings and then ran away quickly. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
