Chapter 17 Darts
In a single room,
Nolan stood in front of the mirror and adjusted her collar, with a satisfied smile on her face.
The warm clothes from the navy had been thrown on the bed, and what he was wearing now was the tavern uniform that Della had just given him.
It's said to be a uniform, but it's actually just a simple black shirt, with at most a red rose pattern embroidered on the chest.
According to Della, there are dozens of uniforms of the same color and various models piled in her warehouse, all of which were custom-made when she first took over the tavern.
I just didn’t expect that I wouldn’t be able to recruit anyone later, so I had no choice but to leave it in the warehouse to gather dust.
The clothes fit me well,
Coupled with Nuolan's slightly sharp facial features and tall and slender figure, even he himself felt bright when he took a picture in front of the mirror.
"It's just that my hair is a little longer."
Talking to himself, he reached out and pushed up the black hair that almost covered his eyes so that it would not affect his sight.
"Just leave it like this for now, as long as it doesn't affect you. I'll get a haircut when I have time."
At noon, the reason why Nuo Lan agreed so decisively to Dai La’s job invitation was because
On the one hand, it is because I want to find a job in a small town first, settle down, and then make plans for the future.
On the other hand, it is also due to the special nature of the tavern work itself.
Nuo Lan thought very clearly that if she wanted to quickly integrate into this place and figure out the rules of survival in this world, a place like a tavern, where dragons and snakes are mixed and everyone is there, is the most suitable place.
I tidied up a little in front of the mirror to make myself look cleaner and fresher.
Nolan threw her gaze out the window,
Before I knew it, it was sunset.
The dim dusk gradually enveloped the streets, and wisps of smoke rose from all over the town.
As night falls, the number of guests in the tavern gradually increases.
It's time to go downstairs.
Nolan stood at the door of the room, holding the door handle in her hand, silently recalling in her mind the precautions that Della had given her in the afternoon.
Then, he turned the handle and pushed open the door.
Buzz——
The sounds of people urging people to drink, chatting, greetings...all kinds of human voices were mixed together, and Nuolan, who had extremely keen perception, felt a buzzing in her ears.
He stood there for two seconds and then gradually came to his senses.
It will take some time for him to adapt to the enhanced extraordinary perception ability that has almost become a superpower.
Of course, all it takes is time.
After all, the "five senses" are his innate physical instincts, not additional special skills.
It can be said that as long as he lives in this world, he is using his sensory abilities every moment.
It won't take long, at most three days, before he can completely adapt to it.
Holding on to the wall and walking down the stairs,
The tavern, which was originally very deserted at noon, was almost completely full at this time.
In fact, because there were no seats, many people stood in twos and threes, holding wine glasses in their hands and talking to each other.
Nuo Lan quickly glanced around and understood.
Through people’s clothing and the faint fishy smell emitted from their bodies,
He could conclude that most of the people in the tavern were fishermen who had returned from fishing early.
I think so,
After all, in this era without mobile phones and the Internet, people who lack entertainment activities may have to spend their leisure time after work in pubs and other places.
"Nolan, here!"
A low-pitched female voice came from the side.
He turned around and saw that Della was taking wine from the counter and waving her hand in his direction.
The night outside has not yet completely darkened, but the other party is already so busy that he is sweating and breathing slightly.
Nuolan walked quickly,
Before he could ask about work matters, a tray with five or six bottles of rum was pushed in front of him.
"Table No. 5." Della didn't even raise her head.
He stopped replying, picked up the tray and walked towards the direction of table No. 5 in his memory.
"Hey! Why is there a new kid?"
After walking a few steps, Nuolan heard a rough voice full of ridicule coming from one side.
"Our famous Red Rose in Red Whale Town finally couldn't bear the loneliness and found a mistress?"
"Hahaha……"
There was a burst of laughter in the tavern.
Nuo Lan looked around and saw that the person speaking was a man with a crew cut and his sleeves rolled up.
He seemed to be half drunk, his face was red, he was burping from wine, and he was looking at himself with a teasing look on his face.
"Tear your stinky mouth apart!"
"Rooney, remember to pay the wine money you owe before you leave today!"
Without showing any signs of weakness, the next second, Della's curses could be heard throughout the tavern.
There was another burst of laughter.
Obviously short of money, the crew-cut man named Rooney did not dare to reply, but just touched his head and smiled.
Then he pretended that the incident had never happened, and started drinking with the people around him.
Nuolan shook his head slightly and withdrew his gaze.
He wasn't angry. Apparently the scene that just happened was the norm in the tavern.
I could also tell from the subtle expression changes on the other person's face that his teasing was not malicious, just a casual remark under the paralysis of alcohol.
…
The tavern seemed particularly lively,
Playing cards, boxing...
In addition to drinking and chatting, drunkards also have many tricks to entertain themselves.
Rooney and his gang even brought their own targets, hung them on the wall of the pub, and took turns throwing darts.
If you throw less points, you will be fined a drink.
The commotion was so loud that the surrounding drinkers gathered around to watch the fun.
Even Nuo Lan would subconsciously take a look at her when she was passing by him in the middle of a busy day.
"Boy! Stop serving drinks and come here and serve two!"
Rooney, who had had a few more drinks, had obviously forgotten what happened just now. When he saw Nolan passing by, he reached out and stopped him.
Nuo Lan was about to refuse, but before she could speak, several darts were forced into her hand.
It was almost late at night now, and although there were still many customers in the tavern, it was still busier than before.
Seeing Rooney's high-spirited look, it was obvious that he couldn't leave without spending a lot of effort.
Sighing silently,
Thinking of throwing it around casually and trying to get rid of the opponent.
Nuo Lan raised the dart, took a brief aim, and then threw the dart in the general direction of the target.
Whoosh——
The sharp metal dart needle passed through the air.
"Go a few steps forward and cast here..."
Rooney had just finished speaking when he felt a cold light pass through his eyes.
"laugh!"
The dart plunged hard into the red circle in the center of the target.
"Oh, you are really lucky..."
Whoosh——
Whoosh——
Two more rays of cold light flashed through.
The center of the target, which was originally empty, was now neatly filled with three darts in the shape of a "pin".
"Gulu."
Chapter completed!
