This is one of the most famous bars in the "City of Kangxi", but it is only well-known among pirates. Many pirates, informants and adventurers are active here all year round. It is the first choice for asking for information and buying houses.
"Hercules" Ozil, a former well-known pirate, is now the boss behind the Sweet Leaf Bar. He hides his identity and often holds extraordinary gatherings in this bar. However, his bounty is still there, but he is too old and almost no one is there.
I went to check his reward order, but with this level of status, most pirates are not afraid of him taking advantage of others, and at worst they will be caught together.
In the corner of the bar, a man wearing a peaked cap sat at a small table, with a half-drunk glass of Nipos on the table. The man wore a taraba shirt and wide-legged trousers, his hair was tied up by a peaked cap, his sideburns were slightly longer, and his mouth
There were jagged stubbles around him, and he also exuded a strong smell of alcohol. He was no different from the locals in the bar who could only survive by getting drunk.
Not long after, the man finished the Nipos in his glass, shook the empty glass, muttered a few words, belched and stood up unsteadily.
"Friend, let me buy you a drink."
The man was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the old man who came in front of him at some unknown time. The old man was very old, and his white hair had become sparse, with only a thin layer left, but he had a pair of bright and sharp brown hair that was not turbid.
Eyes.
He held a bottle of Nipos that had just been opened and looked at the man with a smile:
"This is Nebos from Fusac. It tastes stronger than the one you drank."
The man's eyes lit up, his gaze stayed on the bottle of Nipos, and his Adam's apple squirmed:
"Who are you? Why did you invite me to drink?"
"I'm the boss here." Ozil sat down and poured the bottle of Nebos from Fusac into the man's wine glass.
The man also sat down and sniffed:
"Isn't the boss here a middle-aged man?"
"He is the owner of the bar, and I am his boss."
Ozil put down the bottle, pointed at himself and said:
"Aren't you just here to find me?"
The man didn't speak, and he no longer paid attention to the cup of Niposac from Fusac. He suddenly raised his head and looked around, and then he breathed a sigh of relief when he found that everything was normal:
"I'm here to drink, why do I want to see you?"
"You have been here for several days, and you really look like a drunkard with little money."
Ozil took a big sip from the wine bottle, stretched out his hand to wipe away the remaining wine from the corner of his mouth, pointed at the people around him with a finger filled with saliva and wine:
"But you are different from them. Even if they finish drinking the wine in the cup, they will stay here without money to buy a second cup. If someone invites them to drink, they never ask why. They drink first and then talk. As for the rest,
They won't care about anything.
You pretend to look like you, and you should have put some effort into it, but it’s not enough. You should wait until the bar closes before being kicked out by my people. But you still have to go to the Swordfish Bar and the Seaweed Bar. The people there should
They also see that something is wrong with you, but they don't have time to chat with you. Only a boring old man like me can chat with you.
Tell me, I can take what you have in your hand. Of course, you can also go to the 'Gold Coin Casino', but it is related to the Governor's Mansion. Not only is the price low, but there are some things that are not suitable for sale. I am Bayam here.
The fairest place you can find.”
"Hercules" Ozil didn't care about the man whose expression kept changing, and kept talking to himself, taking a big sip of Nipos from time to time. After he drank half the bottle, his eyes were still clear, and when he saw the man, he didn't respond or urge him.
He placed the remaining half of Nipos on the table and patted the man on the shoulder:
"I and you have seen it too. When you get back, ask your boss what he thinks."
After saying that, he walked towards the bar.
The man stood there stunned for a few seconds, turned around and looked at Ozil who didn't look back, then looked at the wine on the table, thought for a while and then left the bar.
The bartender who had been staring at the man at the bar gave "Giant Man" a wink and signaled the man to leave.
Ozil did not look back and snorted:
"He will come back, they have no other choice."
"Aren't you going to send someone to follow?"
The Sweet Leaf Bar never takes advantage of others, but it is aimed at pirates. Naturally, it will not let go of the person just now who obviously does not understand this place.
"Then go ahead! That guy should be from the army. Even if he drinks a glass of Nipos, he will definitely have no problem dealing with you."
"Then he's here to sell guns?"
"It should be, but I don't know how much he has in his hands."
…
The man walked out of the Xiangye Bar, walked around several times, and entered a hotel.
He took off the peaked cap on his head, and his messy hair exploded instantly. He helplessly smoothed it with his hands, but his hair was still the same.
This person is naturally Rawls, but he is not wearing any disguise except for his clothes. But even in Backlund, there are definitely not many people who can recognize him from his current appearance.
His hair is messy, his stubble is dense and uneven, and he smells of alcohol, giving him the image of a tramp, and all of these are the negative effects of the "Iron-Blooded Reaper".
Rolls' eyes rolled up and he looked at the hanging strand of hair. He wrapped his lower lip around his upper lip and blew lightly, blowing it up and then letting it fall again.
He sighed, threw the peaked cap in his hand on the table, and lay on the bed, thinking about whether there were any omissions in the performance he had just performed in front of "Hercules" Ozil.
In recent days, he had learned some experience from the person in charge of the "King of the Five Seas" Nast's contact point in Bayam, and worked as an incompetent "drunk" in several bars where he could be dirty.
To attract them to take the initiative to trade with him.
Sure enough, the person in charge of the contact point was right. "Hercules" Ozil would be the first person to ask. According to the person in charge, Ozil can be the boss behind the Xiangye Bar.
For so many years, it's not because he is strong and obeys the rules, but because he is stupid enough.
However, it is precisely because of guys like Ozil that Rawls has not drank in vain these days. Even if he is an extraordinary person, his physical fitness is there, but things like Nipos are essentially different from wine.
.
"In a few days, you can try to contact Ozil. First, sell a small batch of guns. But how should you control the quantity? If you sell too much, it will definitely arouse suspicion. If you sell too little, it will take a long time.
Only then can we find out the route.”
Philip had already shipped the first batch of guns, which were all "scrapped" rifles, as well as some officers' standard revolvers. Philip had also agreed to meet with Byam Governor George Negan.
Rawls burped and didn't think about it anymore. He had to go to the contact point in the evening. The "Dread Viscount" Bird Mustang should be here today. With this big pirate here, these things will be much easier to handle.
.
…
Above the gray fog, the hazy figure of "Magician" Forsi appeared on the chair with the symbol "Layered Door" on the back.
She breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and saluted:
"Dear Mr. Fool, you saved me again."
"This is not something that needs to be taken care of." Klein responded in a very calm tone.
Forsi secretly sighed and sat down again.
Today is another full moon, and Alicia, who originally said she would be away for a while, suddenly came back a few days ago. She had been worried about Alicia's sudden appearance, and her spirit body entered this magical place again.
Avoid "Full Moon Talk".
If Alicia discovers an abnormality, Fors has no way to explain it. What's more, even if she is not discovered this time, it does not mean that she will not be discovered next time. If she is told the truth, Mr. "Fool" may not let her go.
she.
One is a demigod and the other is a god, which Forsi cannot afford to offend.
Forsi, who was lost in thought, didn't realize that silence had become the main theme in this majestic palace that looked like a giant's residence.
Klein, who was at the top of the long bronze table, looked at Forsi who was in deep thought, and hesitated a little. Due to her status as "The Fool", she couldn't ask the "Magician", what are you thinking about?
Maybe next time, I won't show up and let her sit here alone. I don't know if that will work.
While Klein was dispersing his thoughts, Forsi had already made up his mind to report to Mr. Fool no matter what, otherwise he would only become more passive in the future.
"Mr. Fool, I have something to report to you."
Klein was startled by Forsi's sudden voice. Fortunately, after being promoted to "Magician", his ability to control expressions has been enhanced.
But tomorrow is the Tarot session. Is there anything I need to report today? Is it a personal matter like Miss Justice? He chuckled softly:
"Say it."
"Mr. Fool, do you remember that I asked about the Abraham family and the Tamara family in the Tarot meeting before?"
"Um."
Klein nodded. He obtained the "Master Key", even performed a divination on its origin, and found the Abraham tribesman who had the unlucky choice to become an "apprentice" on the night of the full moon. He also based on Russell's diary
As well as the second grade diary of this Abraham tribesman, it was deduced that Mr. "Mate" was already the missing ancestor of the Abraham family.
Forsi lowered his head and didn't know what to say. He thought for a while and said:
"Let me first talk about how I became an extraordinary person. That was almost three years ago. I just graduated from Backlund Medical College. With the help of my father, I entered a well-paid company
Private clinic, huh, my father has settled in East Balam."
…
As a best-selling novel writer, Forsi has mastered the skill of rambling, sometimes talking about this, sometimes talking about that. Klein was idle and listened quietly without interrupting.
"I found auxiliary materials and used her legacy to become an 'apprentice'. Later, I encountered danger and had to use the bracelet, only to encounter the curse. I used it several times later, the most recent time was to avoid a
The 'Witch' of the Gnosis Society makes the curse more and more powerful. Originally, I should have been unable to stand it before joining the Tarot Society, but I met a person..."
Miss "Magician", has anyone ever told you that you will be beaten if you tell stories like this? Klein's face remained normal, but he was complaining crazily in his heart.
Gnosis Society, witches, I remember that the "Goddess Sword" originally left Tingen because of the appearance of witches in Backlund. Although there was the promotion of "0-08", it did happen.
After receiving no response, Forsi subconsciously raised his head and realized that he was reporting to Mr. Fool instead of telling Xio a story. He quickly lowered his head and continued:
"She was my neighbor at first. After she disappeared, extraordinary people from the Church of Storms came to inquire. They said that she was the murderer of a case. She was suspected of fraud, theft, wounding, and was related to a gas explosion. After meeting her, I wanted to
Contact the police.”
Well, this is the consistent method of the church, but it's a pity that I am only eligible to be wanted... Klein is a little melancholy, but it is more comfortable to be an official!
"Later, she suddenly came to me and gave me the main material of 'Master of Magic'. She thought I was from the Abraham family, but I was not. Later, I learned that she was from the Tamara family.
, the family that is married to the Abraham family."
Klein's heart skipped a beat. The Tamara family, the great nobles of the Fourth Age, actually approached the "Magician".
"She is a demigod of the 'Arbitrator' path. I didn't dare to hide it from her, so I told her that I was not from the Abraham family, but she didn't do anything to me. Then I joined the Tarot Society. But she also
I know about the full moon curse and told me that in addition to the Abraham family, some members of the Tamara family also have the same curse.
Now every time there is a full moon or a blood moon, I have to come to you. I am worried about being discovered by her, but I don’t know what to do, so I want to ask for your opinion."
In my opinion, you should withdraw from the membership!
Klein didn't want to say anything anymore. He now regretted very much why he was so anxious to bring "Magician" into the Tarot Club. I still trust Miss "Justice" too much.
He knew very well that the spirit body of a "magician" entered here, but with this method of entry, any extraordinary person with psychic vision would be able to detect abnormalities in the body, let alone a demigod.
But he still has to think of a way, after all, he is now the "Fool".
"Is she around you often?"
"No, she only comes occasionally. This time she caught the 'witch' I met last time. After letting me digest the potion, she left with the 'witch'."
"Witch"? Gnosis?
Klein's brain was running fast. There were "apprentices" and "magic masters" in the Gnostic Society. They had always been considered to be related to the Abraham family or the Tamara family. The demigod of the Tamara family captured the Gnostic Society.
People will definitely ask about this.
The "Magician" just said that some members of the Tamara family will also experience the full moon curse, and the curse is related to Mr. "Gate". Those Tamara people should be the descendants of Abraham's marriage...
"She wants to use you to find people from the Abraham family. There are also 'apprentices' and 'magic masters' in the Gnostic Society. Many people think this is related to the Tamara family or the Abraham family."
Forsi's eyes lit up and he blurted out:
"You are saying that she is looking for members of the Abraham family from the Gnostic Society, so she will not look for me for the time being, or even in the future."
I didn't say that, it was your own thought! But it is very possible that I won't find you for the time being, and it is probably unrealistic not to find you in the future. After all, she asked you to digest the potion...
Klein, whose face was obscured by the gray mist, neither denied nor nodded in agreement. In his opinion, the chance of being bumped into once a month was still relatively low, so he would get over it first.
