Alexander's Memoirs - Under the Rule of the Rat Chapter 14 Drunken Fist!
Turning left and right, the three of them walked through the narrow alleys of the slums, and after searching for a long time, they arrived at the place where the drunken master lived.
Pai Weng took a rough look at Master Drunken Master's residence. It was a square stone house with no windows or eaves, and was less than twenty square meters in size. Raphael stepped forward and knocked on the door, and an old man sounded inside.
Voice: "Who will ring the bell at the bar tonight?"
Anyone who drinks often can tell that the sound of the code has a sense of ecstasy and a little tipsy. Qiu Demi read the code without feeling any shame, and then the door opened.
Through the light outside, the three of them saw a spirited old man holding a metal wine bottle, wearing dirty clothes, but with serious eyes. "You are the knife-buying people introduced by that brat, pay for it."
." Although he couldn't see the knife after scanning the room, which was as simple as the three people's stronghold, the old man touched a rusty iron ring on his right index finger with his left hand a few times. As soon as he finished speaking, the knife suddenly appeared.
It appeared in his hands.
"It's exciting." Pai Weng said in a low voice and gently pushed the elder sister with money who was a little stunned.
"Hello, senior." Qiu Demi exhaled slightly, bowed his head slightly and saluted. Then he put the corresponding number of silver coins into a small purse, handed it over, and reached out to take the wine bottle from behind.
"I'm interested, haha." The old man handed over the knife with one hand and took the money with the other, but did not take his hand back. It was obvious that he planned to take the wine with him. Although his clothes were dirty, his hands were very clean.
The calluses are completely invisible on the palms and they still have a healthy color.
"I have long heard that there is a senior in the town of Duer who is good at boxing and loves drinking. I have admired his name for a long time. It is a big regret that I have never met him. Today I regret it, but I am not polite enough to follow him. I can only use my old wine right as a gift.
." Qiu Demi reached out and patted the hidden compartment on the jug. This small jug contained a hidden mechanism. The upper and middle layers contained ordinary sake and beer, while the lower layer contained the divine brew she had treasured for a long time.
.
"Raphael, you guys need to back away a few hundred meters first... no, back away as far as you want. It's best to make sure there isn't even a male mosquito in sight..."
Raphael followed his example and trotted out. "I understand." Paion thought for a moment and then ran out with Raphael.
The old man's nose twitched slightly to inhale the rich aroma of wine. "Good wine, good wine." Then he put the money bag into the ring and drank it all in one gulp.
The old man's face turned slightly rosy, and then a layer of white energy visible to the naked eye spread out from his body. The old man smacked his lips and said, "It's exceeded my expectations. If you are in danger, you can come to my place. I think
, except for the big bear at Cang Yue Hotel, no one in Duer Town has the strength to fight with me."
Then he threw the wine bottle to Black and took out a yellowish white thread-bound book that he had read many times.
"Senior can actually withstand the stamina of this wine! The last time I drank this wine, I caught the landlady of Cang Yue Hotel, and I was so frightened that I never dared to touch this wine again." Qiu De's secret goods were really shocked, and he subconsciously reached out to take it.
Books that were thrown away.
Old man, oh no, the old man smiled proudly and boasted: "Except for the thousand-year-old wine of the Elf Dynasty, I have never drunk it. I have also drunk a lot of the strongest dwarf lava wine. This is trivial. There is a bit about the monk in the book.
My personal experience and unique skills of my own school. But you are not my disciple, so you can only watch it here for half a day. It’s up to you how much you can understand.”
"Thank you, senior." Qiu Demi nodded slightly, then opened the secret book and read it carefully. He thought that the old man was talking about you, so he shouted: "Raphael, Pai Weng~ It's okay, you can come back."
Raphael stood downwind and smelled the aroma of the wine intoxicatedly. After hearing Qiu Demi's call, Pai Weng, who was standing not far away, came over, patted Raphael on the shoulder and ran over. The latter replied
After a while, I followed him.
After Pai Weng glanced at the thread-bound book in his black hand, he asked Master Drunken Master if he minded. But the old man took out a large pot from the ring and went to the table to drink slowly.
Raphael leaned behind Qiu Demi's shoulder and looked at the first page she had opened, and then made way for Pai Weng to read together. On this page, there was the words "One Thousand Cups Will Not Fail", and there was only this one line.
.
As Qiu Demi slowly turned over the pages, the long speech with confusing sentences and misspelled words but a sense of truth gradually emerged. It really looked like a piece of bullshit blown out of the mouth of a drunkard.
The full text is divided into three parts, namely: Undetermined Piaomiao Steps, Soaring Mist Stepping Palms, and Half-Sleeping Golden Body.
First of all, this indefinite ethereal step is mainly used to speed up the pace by quickly twisting and swinging the limbs greatly during the continuous punches and kicks, and it can also avoid their counterattacks when leaving the enemy's surroundings.
Then this Tengwu Treading Palm suddenly moves in a swinging manner, and by using the inertia of the palm, it diverts the enemy from attacking itself and gives it to other enemies. It also further strengthens the Undetermined Piaomiao Step, and can even
While lying on the ground, slam the ground and get up quickly.
The final half-sleeping golden body is very, very complicated. To be honest, Pai Weng and Raphael couldn't understand what was written at all, but Qiu Demi knew that this was an application of Qi. Using Qi to transport the body at critical moments
Reversing disadvantages, it can even resist spell effects to a certain extent.
In fact, these three parts do not require alcohol to be involved. Drinking is mainly a matter of ordinary momentum. But in the end, this secret book was also learned through drinking. If I didn't love wine so much, I wouldn't be able to write this thing.
The content of the book is not over yet, but the rest of the content has not been written. The fourth part is named Drunk and Crazy Two Worlds of Sorrow. It seems to be a move that attacks several enemies at the same time, and the most prominent one is frenzy.
If the Wuding Piaomiao Step is the swaying steps of a drunken person, then the Tengwu Treading Palm is like causing trouble in a drunken tavern. The half-sleeping golden body corresponds to being half awake and able to drink again. In the end, the drunken and crazy two worlds can only
It is a big dream that no one can get close to.
When Qiu Demi raised her head again, her eyes were as empty as if she had lived in another world, and then she regained her clarity. Then she stood up and handed the book to Raphael, unscrewed the wine bottle and poured a sip of sake into her mouth. Then she exited the door and walked naturally to the open space.
He moved his stance, he was unsure of his fist position, then he punched the air, and then he immediately closed his fist, as if he was in a state of intoxication.
After Raphael read it, he felt dazzled and didn't remember anything... Maybe this is a barbarian.
"Thank you, senior." After a long time, Qiu Demi returned to normal. She entered the door and walked up to the old man, bowing solemnly.
The old man waved his hand and said, "If you and I are destined to meet each other someday, and if we have some good wine next time, okay." The words were not finished but the meaning was fulfilled, so Raphael returned the book to the old man.
It was almost getting dark at this time, and the three of them went out to look at the afterglow of the sun that had set for a long time. It was time to go back. But the Drunken Boxing Master had already drank no one knew how much wine he had, and he continued to drink while lying on the table.
Somewhat drunk.
Raphael covered his head and urged his friends to go back to the hotel to rest. He felt a headache from being forced to read things he couldn't understand all afternoon.
"Okay, let's get on the road." After making some wild gestures on the spot, he realized that nothing came out. Pai Weng, who was thinking that Qiu Demi might be a martial arts prodigy, followed the two of them and returned to the hotel together.
"The month has six ten-day cycles that begin again and again. Every two months are interlocked to form one of the three seasons. The three seasons are combined to form one year. One of the morning twilight seasons is the dust-cleansing moon, and the second is the luxuriant moon. The blazing sun season is the moon.
The third is the month of drought, the fourth is the month of rain, the fifth is the month of harvest, and the sixth is the month of coldness. Let’s stop talking about it now, it’s almost time.” Brandon saw a
A man in bright clothes walked out of the hotel with two guards, and then pointed at Alexander covertly.
Alexander nodded and winked at Brandon to follow her. Then she slowly followed her, regardless of whether Brandong understood or not. At least Brandon knew and just followed.
This was just the beginning. Soon more people dressed in bright clothes and with escorts came out of the hotel and walked towards Union Commercial Street. Not only that, the roar of steam four-wheelers came through the commercial street to participate in the auction.
Not all people attending the meeting arrived early. There may be some wealthy businessmen who stayed in Yincheng last night and planned to attend in person.
Alexander and Brandon tried their best to imitate the aura of those people walking past the hotel. Fortunately, their clothes were much neater than Raphael's.
In order to ensure the normal conduct of the auction, there were many soldiers from Silver City patrolling the Union Commercial Street, and few people in Duer Town were able to watch the excitement, so there were only steam four-wheelers parked at the door of the building where the auction was located.
There - after all, there are no restrictions. If you really want to know about the auction, you can go in and take a look. It's just that this building doesn't seem to be able to accommodate too many people.
When it was their turn, Alexander and Brandon submitted their identity certificates to the staff of the Countercurrent Chamber of Commerce behind the two soldiers. Logically speaking, Alexander should have had one, but now he could only use the one provided by Davis Bryan.
It took a while to check the identity documents, which also ensured the order of admission to a certain extent. The two of them took the corresponding seat numbers and walked inside the building. As they expected, the auction venue was underground. After all, the place on the ground was
The building could not accommodate such participants. As he walked down the stairs, Alexander was really surprised by the lamps on both sides of the wall that used unknown technology to produce light sources.
After walking through a U-shaped corridor and entering the small door on the inner arc side, the two of them saw the splendid large venue - even the ceiling was decorated with dozens of chandeliers.
The venue uses a semicircular trapezoidal structure to place seats. The top is a box, the middle is a hierarchical seating area, and the bottom is a booth for pushing auction items, maximizing the use of space while enhancing the lighting and sound amplification effects.
The two took their own seat number tags and found the corresponding hard seat. This place was in the last row with its back to the box. There was a number plate painted with fluorescent fuel on the armrest of the seat. After sitting down, they continued to sit down.
A dozen people came in and filled this row - the last two rows were almost all adventurers. In this lawless place where life is like grass and money is like running water, some adventurers with spare money need new entertainment methods to stimulate themselves to numbness.
of nerves.
Then, the auction begins.
With flashing lights and soothing music, everyone's attention was attracted from the booth. The auctioneer and several young assistants who mainly pushed the exhibits walked up to the booth from the dark, and there were ten items placed on the metal cart.
The covered merchandise is transported to the table.
The venue that was still whispering before became completely quiet. Even the vulgar adventurers were still talking in low voices, but the sound of music emitted by an unknown device could cover it up.
"Everyone, I am very happy that I can announce these exciting auction items to you as the host of this auction!" The auctioneer, who is plainly dressed but has an afro haircut, stood behind the hammer table that his assistant had just moved and shouted loudly.
He said: "When you raise prices, just raise the number plate next to your seat. So, what's the first thing today?"
The auctioneer's left hand, which was not holding the hammer, lifted up the red cloth on the nearest cart next to him. Inside the long box was a long sword that shone with a faint blue light - this must be the best magic equipment.
"A peerless masterpiece from the elf forger - Frostfall!" Although he didn't understand the value, the auctioneer was not bragging. There were bursts of surprised talk from the soft seats in the front. The auctioneer paused deliberately.
Huicai continued: "The starting price is one hundred and fifty gold coins, and the price increase must not be less than ten gold coins each time the placard is raised."
"Did I hear you right...is this thing so expensive?" Alexander shook Brandon's shoulders in shock, and the latter shook his head and said, "It's indeed not cheap, and this is just the starting price."
"I'll offer one hundred and sixty linseys." Soon the first bidder appeared.
"One hundred and seventy Lindsay." A calm voice sounded.
"I'll pay 180 Lindsay!" The first bidder raised the price again.
"Two hundred and thirty Lindsay!" the third bid raiser shouted vigorously, and then the place fell silent.
"Two hundred and thirty gold coins once, two hundred and thirty gold coins twice, two hundred and thirty gold coins three times! Congratulations to bidder No. 39 for winning this unique masterpiece! Congratulations to bidder No. 39, please come forward and get it.
Take your weapons!" An assistant pushed the cart into the darkroom nearby. Presumably the settlement and receipt of the money and auction items could be protected by the Countercurrent Chamber of Commerce - after leaving the venue, Gai was probably irresponsible.
Alexander curled his lips and looked at Brandon, who was looking attentively at the next auction item that was about to be announced on the booth. Soon the provocative introduction and the warm atmosphere of the venue infected him. This old-fashioned format
Old fashioned but effective.
Alexander returned his attention to the auction itself. When the tenth piece of magic equipment was also auctioned, Alexander ended his calculations. These ten items were sold for a total of just over 3,000 gold coins. Although this amount of money is extremely huge for an individual,
But for an auction it’s a drop in the bucket.
"Then, the next step will be to snap up batches of ore. The price is fixed and the quantity is limited." At this time, Alexander felt that this was what the wealthy businessmen needed. After making metal utensils, they could transfer a lot of money. At first, she
She thought this was the big deal, but then her eyes were opened by the price of precious metals and gems. A large amount of ores only cost six thousand gold coins in total, and minerals such as mithril, fine gold, meteorite, highland orichalcum, etc.
11,500 gold coins were sold. But the auction is not over yet!
The real grand finale of the auction is still to come, which is the right to sell the trial model of the body-strengthening potion of the Countercurrent Chamber of Commerce and the first few batches of complete models. This potion can not only enhance the physical fitness, but also increase the life span, and its effect is not the same as the life-extending potion.
Conflict. This thing is the kind of thing that powerful people and wealthy businessmen or nobles are crazy about. Although this kind of body-strengthening potion has the same possibility of being reversed and reducing lifespan and physical fitness,
But the possibility of such a reversal of effects even on the first bottle of the trial version is still very slim. This chapter has been completed!
