"What a clever disguise. It doesn't look like bionic skin. It should be some kind of alchemy..."
Su Lun glanced at the mustache disguised as Katyusha and pondered in his mind.
This group of pirates didn't see through her, so her disguise was very clever.
But Su Lun was indeed curious as to why a young lady from a noble family came to the pirate tavern.
Do you want to play adventure hunting games?
He looked at the mustache sitting at the bar. Although she looked like a pirate, it was probably her first time here, and her expression seemed slightly unnatural. She asked the bartender for a glass of wine and sat there to drink it.
stand up.
What others didn't see was that her face was hidden by the wine glass, and her lips and teeth were moving slightly, as if she was talking to the air.
.......
Su Lun had a good impression of this girl, but she didn't take a closer look.
If this kind of lady dares to come, she is probably protected by a master, so she doesn't need to worry about it as an outsider.
After all, it is the Fengyue Tavern frequented by pirates, and the atmosphere of astringency and psychedelic drugs is everywhere here. The waiters in the tavern are all tall and beautiful girls. They wear hot pants and suspender bras, showing off their figures without hesitation.
Walking through the tavern, sometimes some sloppy pirates would tear off their clothes, causing a burst of laughter. The drinkers seemed to like this kind of impromptu show, and they were not stingy with tips, and everyone was happy; the girls on the stage danced enchantingly, and their clothes gradually
Fading away; there are pictures everywhere that stimulate human hormone secretion...
Here, pirates can enjoy the ultimate fun by spending money.
Before the news from the intelligence dealer came, Su Lun continued to wait patiently.
As time went by, the number of guests in this underground tavern gradually increased.
Some came down from upstairs, and some came in through the secret passage. They all seemed to be respectable pirates, and most of them were able to greet each other after many people came in.
"Hey! Captain Martin, I recently heard that your 'Blue Lions' hijacked a gem merchant's ship and made a fortune?"
"Hahaha... It's all hard money, and several brothers died. How can you 'three-headed eels' make money? I heard that you kidnapped a baron and asked for a ransom of 500 million?"
"Hey, isn't this Captain Ferdinand? I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard that you went to the south. The slave owners who set up plantations are all very wealthy. How was the harvest..."
"..."
Although Su Lun knew that this tavern was expensive and the people who came were not unknown people, he never thought that so many "captain-level" pirates would come.
While drinking, he casually sighed: "Oh, it seems like there are a lot of big shots here today."
After hearing this, the girl next to him who was rubbing his shoulders also smiled flatteringly: "Because today is Saturday, the captains' party day."
Only then did Su Lun understand that there was such a saying.
He calmly added casually: "Oh, I almost forgot. No wonder I saw so many familiar guys."
The pirates who came to the tavern didn't just drink. They chatted and started playing cards. The amount of money was huge, and the gambling was in full swing.
.......
Su Lun silently watched and observed this guy from the corner.
But as he watched, he actually saw another acquaintance!
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a suit and a round hat walked in. His image was very recognizable, with a crow on his shoulder, and a prosthetic eye like a cataract in his right eye, which made his whole person look...
There is a dangerous and evil atmosphere.
Su Lun immediately recognized this guy and was a little surprised: "Isn't this the "Crow Godfather" Gwembo Mari, the boss of the Crow Gang in the outer city of Old Town? He's out too?"
Moreover, after feeling the soul fire, it seemed that he had also advanced to the fourth level.
Obviously, many people in the tavern were not familiar with this man from Old Town. Some were curious and started whispering.
"Who is that guy?"
"The new guy who appeared recently, nicknamed "Crow", came out of nowhere and suddenly became famous. I heard that this guy has recently annexed several small pirate groups, and his power is expanding very quickly.
.”
"A newcomer who has just gone to sea can do so much, what level is he?"
"It is said to be the fourth level."
"Is the fourth level so crazy?"
"Don't underestimate this guy. I heard that he is a curse warlock with very evil methods and abilities. Arkad of the 'Vulture Group' fell into his hands. A few days ago, I heard that they also robbed a ship.
Lu Ying’s warship..."
"...."
Su Lun listened to these whispers thoughtfully.
It is normal for a professional from Jiulindun to be stronger than the same level in the outside world, let alone this former gang boss from an outer city.
But...a new pirate?
Su Lun tasted this title.
The situation in Jiulingdun made it impossible to go to sea. When Mr. Youjing led them out, he took a great risk, and it was even less possible for others.
Obviously, this Wengebu was probably recruited by the "King of the North Sea".
He sensed it for a moment and muttered in his heart: "But then again, this guy is really strong."
Very few people in Jiulindun have seen Wengebu take action, and not many outsiders know much about his ability.
Now that his soul was sensing it, Su Lun also discovered that the crow on that guy's shoulder was very strange.
At this time, just as Wen Gebu was walking towards the wine table, a pirate captain also brought a red-billed parrot.
People would gossip behind their backs, and the stupid bird was probably used to being among the pirates. He looked at the crow and mocked in a human tone: "Where did this idiot come from... Where did this idiot come from...
.”
Wengerbu ignored it and sat down, but the crow on his shoulder tilted his head and looked over, with a flash of red in his eyes. Just at this look, the red-billed parrot froze there as if he was electrocuted, and then a
The upside-down green onion fell to the ground with a thud.
With this strange trick of "killing crows and killing birds", the huge tavern fell silent in an instant.
Su Lun, who was not far away, looked at this scene, narrowed his eyes slightly, and thought in his mind: "Is it similar to the soul curse technique of [Death Gaze]..."
After a while, the tavern became lively again.
No one cared about a dead parrot, and the owner of the silly bird didn't dare to say anything.
Wen Gebu seemed to be here to recruit partners. The pirate circle is like this. A capable person will never lack followers. As soon as he showed his skills, people immediately came up to him to get familiar with him.
...
There were more and more people in the tavern, and soon the underground tavern was filled with people everywhere.
Su Lun's eyes also fell on the bar from time to time. Seeing the awkward look on the "moustache"'s face, Su Lun chuckled slightly in his heart.
No matter how much the little girl disguises herself, she can't bring out the aura of a rough and arrogant man. Although Katyusha is dressed in men's clothing, she still has a handsome mustache.
She was drinking, and at this moment, a female pirate about two and a half meters tall and wearing a horn helmet came in and sat down next to her.
The clothes on this female pirate looked like she was wrapped in a sack, and her exposed arm muscles were as knotted as an elephant's legs, making her strong to the naked eye.
This is a Viking.
Vikings were born warriors. They could swim in the cold sea water before they learned to walk. Riding monsters, weightlifting, wrestling, rowing, sailing... these were essential survival skills they began to develop at a young age.
, they are born warriors and very warlike.
But there is no loyalty at all. If you have interests, you will sacrifice your life.
So even though Oleg is known as the "King of the North Sea", the Vikings don't all obey his orders.
Pirates and mercenaries are where they belong.
Probably thinking that Katyusha was a handsome man, the female pirate roughly put her arm around her shoulders and raised the wine glass as big as her head: "Hey, handsome man, would you like to have a drink?"
Katyusha was so frightened by this barbaric approach that she unconsciously looked back at Su Lun in the cubicle.
Su Lun pretended not to recognize him and was drinking. His clown mask was the same as when he met before, so it was not difficult to recognize him.
Seeing "Mustache"'s uneasy look, the female Viking pirate became even more enthusiastic.
Katyusha finally couldn't help it, and quickly broke away from the female pirate's arm. She squeezed through the crowd, came to Su Lun's booth, and asked for help: "Mr. Nicholas, can I sit here?"
Hearing this, Su Lun pretended to be cautious: "Who is your Excellency?"
Katyusha looked at the two girls beside him, and without speaking directly, pointed to the [Star Talisman] on Su Lun's waist.
Su Lun pretended to think for a moment, then signaled to the two girls that they could leave.
As soon as the two left, Katyusha patted her chest and let out a sigh of relief: "I was scared to death~"
This voice suddenly changed back to a soft female voice.
Su Lun had a belated expression on his face and said in surprise: "Are you... Miss Katyusha?"
"right."
Katyusha looked around and saw that no one was looking at her, so she made a face-breaking gesture.
Su Lun looked at the alchemist skin and tore it off. Sure enough, it was the girl with the freckles on her face.
"Good stuff..."
Su Lun appraised the face and admired it in his heart. It was able to hide the face from his perception. The materials and refining techniques of the face were quite sophisticated. Unfortunately, it was a one-time use, and it would become rotten if it was torn off.
Tsk tsk~ People with deep pockets are rich people.
Seeing Katyusha's true face revealed, Su Lun also gave up his seat and motioned for her to sit down.
The girl had a scared expression on her face and hid beside Su Lun, leaning against the wall.
Su Lun asked curiously: "Why did you come to a place like this?"
"I...I ran out secretly."
Katyusha stuck out her tongue, a blush appeared on her face, and she seemed a little embarrassed: "I have never been to a tavern, so I just wanted to come and have a look. I wanted to pick a tavern at random, but astrology told me that here
It was interesting. And then...then I came."
After a pause, she glanced at the burly female pirate again from the corner of her eye and shrank her head: "Sorry for causing you trouble."
It sounds like there's nothing wrong with it, the logic is rigorous, it's just a story about an aristocratic lady who was curious about the lower world and wanted to come out and have a look.
This is basically what fairy tales say.
Astrology can indeed explain some inexplicable coincidences.
Although Su Lun felt something was wrong, he didn't ask in detail.
There is no malice, it has nothing to do with him.
He looked at the frightened girl and said, "Now that I've read it, do you want me to take you out of the tavern?"
Katyusha blinked, her watery eyes full of novelty, and she said in a pleading tone: "Mr. Nicholas, I...can I stay a little longer? The stories told by those pirates are very interesting.
also."
After a pause, she immediately added: "If you find it troublesome, please take me out."
Her words sounded like a well-educated young lady, and she didn't embarrass anyone at all.
After hearing this, Su Lun couldn't refuse. He shrugged and said, "It's up to you."
"Thank you Mr. Nicholas, I won't cause you any trouble!"
Katyusha got the permission, couldn't hide the joy on her face, and sat there obediently.
The noble lady has probably never seen a low-level pirate, nor has she ever been to a tavern where pirates hang out.
With Su Lun covering her face, she looked like a little thief who was covering her ears and stealing the bell, squinting her eyes restlessly and looking around thiefly.
However, the pirate tavern is all about pure and explicit desires, pornography, gambling, and drugs are all here.
The pirates were gambling lively on the gaming table, the psychedelic drugs in the air were exciting the blood, and the strippers were dancing enthusiastically...
I don’t know how the little girl felt after seeing it.
Su Lun glanced at Katyusha, who was pretending to be calm, shook his head slightly, and drank by himself.
No one spoke, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.
But after sitting there for a while, Su Lun realized that this was really a familiar girl.
It was as if suddenly there was an acquaintance, and there was no need to worry. Katyusha immediately became familiar with her.
"Mr. Nicholas, are you a pirate?"
"no."
"Oh~ Then I'll treat you to a drink."
"Forget it, let me treat you."
"Ah...thank you so much."
"Mr. Nicholas, why do you always wear a mask when drinking?"
"got used to."
"Ah! Did... did I disturb you? How about calling those two... two... back?"
"..."
"Those pirates are really wanted criminals. I've only seen them on the gallows before. Oh my god, I didn't expect there to be so many here..."
"..."
The two started chatting without saying a word.
The aristocratic lady who is used to elegant drinking from goblets is not used to the big draft beer mugs like pirates, but it is also very novel. Katyusha watched the pirates at the next table taking sips, and also learned to drink with such arrogance. The result was,
After just a few drinks, the girl's face was flushed and she looked half-drunk. She also spoke with a loud tongue. The more she drank, the more energetic she became.
"Mr. Su Lun, do we want to drink a toast? I think they all drank it in one gulp..."
"If you can't drink, drink less."
"I can do it, um... Burr~ Come on, do it!"
"..."
Su Lun looked a little helpless, but he had to wait for information and couldn't leave now.
Fortunately, it didn't take long before the man with the crested head came and brought the information Su Lun needed.
.......
Su Lun walked out of the Sailor's Tavern, carrying a limp Katyusha on his shoulders who was talking drunkenly.
It was still noon when he went in, but when he came out, it was already dark and snowflakes were falling in the sky.
Upon leaving the tavern, Su Lun also discovered the guard lurking in the dark.
The stealth method is very clever, and ordinary senses cannot detect it at all.
Su Lun pretended not to notice, carried the drunken lady on his back, and called a carriage.
Not long after, the carriage stopped in front of the Star Hotel in Beicheng.
As soon as Su Lun got out of the car, he looked at an old housekeeper who was waiting anxiously.
As soon as he saw them getting off the carriage, he recognized the person and immediately greeted them, "Oh! Miss, where are you going?"
Hearing the call, Katyusha seemed to have sobered up a little, and then she opened her eyelids with difficulty and recognized the person in front of her, "Butler Herbert... I'm going to drink..., hiccup~"
Su Lun delivered the person and said to the housekeeper: "The person has been delivered. I'll leave first."
Butler: "Sir, thank you very much."
"No need. She helped me too."
Su Lun didn't stay long and turned to leave.
.......
Su Lun returned to the hotel he rented.
He thought a lot along the way.
In my mind, I kept recalling the entire process of my encounter with Katyusha today.
But no matter how I thought about it, I didn't feel anything strange.
Like a perfect stage play, a noble lady is curious about the world of common people, pays a private visit incognito, and meets a kind-hearted passerby?
Just because this encounter was so perfect, it made people feel unreal and something was missing.
Su Lun also assumed that Katyusha was here for him.
So, what is her motivation?
"Is it astrology? Or maybe I'm just overthinking it?"
Su Lun finally came to this conclusion.
At this time, he happened to have arrived at the door of the hotel.
Tuk! Tuk! Tuk!
Knocked on the door.
Jike opened the door respectfully, "Teacher, are you back?"
Su Lun nodded and said to him: "I'm next door, if you need anything, call me."
After explaining, he went next door.
The intelligence just obtained shows that the group of demi-humans from the Sun Slave Chamber of Commerce will be transported away in three days. The escort team will be normal, with a regular escort team and some adventurers.
Su Lun notified Yuta of the news and planned to help intercept these Daru tribesmen when the time comes.
Taking advantage of these two days, he can get some high-level puppets and rune threads.
