The slightly shabby bar was still as deserted as before. The singer Daniel knew was not singing on the small stage, but was replaced by another singer. Seeing that the person singing was not the person he wanted to see,
The young Black Iron Knight instantly lost interest.
But he thought that the singer might appear again, so he tried to be patient and found a table in a relatively dark and secluded corner and sat down.
"It's you again." A short, fat middle-aged man walked up to the table and said to Daniel: "If you are here to see that girl Liana, she has already got off work. Come back tomorrow."
"Oh." Daniel looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. Although he looked bald and covered in sweat, this middle-aged man was wearing a decent suit. He was probably the bartender of this small bar.
, or the owner of the bar himself.
"That's it." Daniel was about to stand up and leave, but then he thought: "Uh, do you have wine here?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense? The bar doesn't sell alcohol." The middle-aged man was not polite to Daniel at all, or he seemed a little bored and wanted to drive Daniel away.
"Give me a glass of, um, whiskey." Daniel took out a silver coin and said.
"Do you think we will serve alcohol to minors?" The middle-aged man looked at the white-haired boy in front of him with an unhappy expression, and judged that this boy was a child based on Daniel's slightly immature face: "It's illegal.
We don’t want to do anything.”
"Do I look like a minor?" Daniel pointed with his finger at the Black Iron Knight Medal of the Knights of the Eastern Sky on his chest. Due to the transfer, the Snowflake Medal of the Knights of the Northern Sky was supposed to be there, but now it is.
It has been replaced by the Order of the Sun of the Eastern Sky Knights. If even the armor on Daniel's body is not convincing, then this knight's medal that cannot be imitated is enough to explain everything.
"Yeah." The middle-aged man was silent for a while before replying: "That's okay. Since you insist that you are an adult, Lord Knight, then I'll just treat it as such. After all, I seem to have never seen many young people in my life.
The adult black iron knight."
Then he turned around and went to prepare drinks, and maybe get some snacks for Daniel. The silver coin must be worth more than a glass of wine.
Daniel knew he shouldn't drink. But he was really upset right now and wanted to drown his sorrows in alcohol. His latest plan failed: he wanted to restore his brother who had turned into a mud monster, but he didn't even know how to do it.
I know; I wanted to apologize to Knight Dore's family, but he ran into more troubles and missed the opportunity to apologize; even now I want to talk to the singer to express my sorrow, but she is nowhere to be seen.
Tomorrow morning at five o'clock, he has to go to Edinburgh to find an instructor for the final iron riding training. And even if he undergoes this kind of last-minute training, there is no way to guarantee that Daniel can successfully pass the iron riding driving license test. In short, it is annoying.
Dead. The Black Iron Knight boy seemed to drink some alcohol to numb his nerves. Even if it was just a small sip, it would be good if it could relieve him and allow him to get an hour or two of peaceful sleep.
The wine was delivered, and it was a full bottle. The middle-aged man placed the bottle and wine glass in front of Daniel, and grinned at the Black Iron Knight boy as if he was playing a prank: "Sir, you want the wine. You pay more."
I’ve got the money, and there’s no change here, so I’ll give you the whole bottle of wine. Is that okay?”
"Okay. Leave me alone." Daniel didn't want to pay attention to this middle-aged man. A bottle of wine was just a bottle of wine. Daniel didn't care whether the silver coin was wasted. He also had a huge one at home.
There is so much treasure and money that he will never be able to spend it all in his lifetime.
So the middle-aged man smiled calmly and walked away, leaving Daniel alone. The singer on the small stage of the bar had finished singing. It was now intermission time, and the whole bar seemed even more empty.
"It's no big deal." Daniel poured himself a glass of wine, brought it to his lips, and bravely took a sip.
However
He had never drank alcohol before, let alone strong liquor like whiskey. He began to wonder if this ghost thing was for people to drink. Is there such a terrible drink in the world? It was as weird as chemicals.
The bitter taste rippled in his tongue and throat, and the strong smell of alcohol hit his nose. The alcohol's strong corrosiveness burned his tongue, gums, palate, and throat like strong acid.
Daniel couldn't help but feel extremely puzzled. Is this wine? The wine that adults drink is simply poisonous water, okay?! Why can such a thing be poured down the throat?! Even the smelly sewer water tastes better than this thing.
A hundred times!
Then the problem began. Daniel thought that his Dark Green Knight had strong resistance to toxins and could even resist the influence of alcohol. In fact, it was just the opposite. The Dark Green Knight and the Emerald Green Knight were almost the same, although they had powerful
The regenerative ability and anti-toxic ability are helpless against alcohol, because alcohol is not strictly a toxin and has no direct and obvious damage to most people's bodies. The anti-toxic mechanism in the Dark Green Knight (and Emerald Green Knight)
It is impossible to identify an ambiguous substance like alcohol as a toxin!
As a result, Daniel, who just took a small sip of wine, became drunk immediately!
The world was spinning and the world seemed to be weightless. Feeling dizzy, Daniel covered his dizzy forehead and tried to support himself. However, it was useless. He hit the table with a thud and began to fall into a coma caused by alcohol!
dark.
Cold and bottomless, silent and boundless darkness.
[The body of greed]
Someone is talking.
[What are you looking for, and what have you found?]
The voice was distant and insubstantial.
[What is waiting for you at the end of darkness, is it hope or despair?]
"Huh?" Daniel suddenly struggled from his deep sleep. He found that the scene he was in suddenly changed.
He was still sitting on the original bar chair and leaning on the table. However, the wine bottles and glasses on the table were gone, the tables and chairs had become rusty, and the patent leather had fallen off, as if they had been left there for a long time.
old antique.
There was not a single soul in the entire bar. As people disappeared, the surroundings became strangely quiet and dark. The ceiling and floor of the bar had turned into rusty old barbed wire, and some were even curled up and full of holes, making people worried about leaving.
Will it fall from the barbed wire fence and fall into the seemingly bottomless dark abyss underground?
A strange atmosphere enveloped the whole world. Daniel even suspected that everything in front of him was not real, but just some kind of nightmare that was too clear. He covered his painful head, thinking that it was a hallucination after he was drunk. The feeling of chill started from
Attacks from all directions climbed up his spine. He felt that he had to leave this ghost place as soon as possible.
Boom, boom, boom, boom. He heard the sound of a bell, which was not too far away from him. It seemed to be coming from above the building.
It seems that it came from the home of Mr. Dorey, the knight.
There should be no one there, so why are there still bells ringing? Daniel couldn't help but wonder. Could it be that even the bells were his hallucination?
Daniel got up with difficulty and planned to go over and have a look. It should be said that it would be better to go anywhere than to stay in this ghost place. This rusty bar was too eerie.
He walked out of the small bar, thinking that the gloomy feeling would soon pass. But things were far from being as simple as he imagined. The road outside the bar and the surrounding buildings had all changed. Everything was so old and decadent.
, as if Daniel traveled through time and arrived at the same place hundreds of years later, but it was an abandoned city.
There was even a kind of fog spreading around. It was neither thick nor thin, but the fog made it difficult for Daniel to see the scenery twenty yards away. Perhaps this was also related to the darkness of the environment. The concrete on the road was cracked.
Pieces of debris peeled off all over the ground, just like the piles of rocks that were originally on the ground. Even behind Daniel, the apartment where Mr. Knight Dorey originally lived had turned into an abandoned and dangerous building.
Boom, boom, boom, boom. Only the sound of the bell still persisted and came from upstairs, most likely from Mr. Doré's home.
The headache prevented Daniel from concentrating on thinking, but he knew that running around in the fog-covered streets was not an option. Who knew if any monsters would suddenly come out of the invisible fog? He turned around and walked in
He walked into the apartment and tried to climb the stairs and find his way into Mr. Doré's house.
The bells stopped ringing.
Ta, tap, tap, tap. The bell was replaced by other sounds. It sounded a bit like the footsteps of some kind of creature, but it was extremely heavy. Every time the sound sounded, it was also accompanied by some kind of heavy weapon.
The sound of dragging the ground!
To describe it, it is like the sound made by a strong man wearing heavy equipment walking barefoot on the ground.
Daniel, who was alert, subconsciously touched his waist and tried to take out the sword. However, only then did he realize that all his equipment was missing. It should be said that even the armor on his body had disappeared. Now he
Unarmed and wearing only civilian clothes.
Daniel felt more and more that this was a nightmare. It was impossible for him to be stripped naked and weapons stolen while he was drunk, and then thrown into this different world that looked very similar to reality, but was subtly different.
If nothing can be explained, then this must be a nightmare.
Or maybe it was an illusion cast on him by someone. God knows.
But one thing he knows very well is that without any equipment, if he encounters any dangerous enemy, he will die in an instant, and there will be no room for him to fight back!
He realized that he was nervous now but it was a little too late. At this moment, the owner of the footsteps was slowly walking down the stairs! The scene that Daniel initially guessed in his mind was not much different from the reality. The person who came down the stairs was a
