Section 524 Tavern

"We will always be together, always like this."

The same words, Zerom has said to many women. However, only now does he feel that it is a heartfelt word from the bottom of his heart. Zerom is a little emotional. He used to say sweet words to so many women, but now he thinks that it is not worth it at all.

He held Hege in his arms and hugged him tightly.

Of course, Zerom knew that the girl in front of him was not the real Hegel, but he thought that this was the woman he loved. This moment was so perfect and so just that any doubt, fear, panic was unnecessary and very stupid.

"I will always be with you, no matter what you do."

Su Hao sat in the "Silver Arrow" tavern, silently staring at the crowd passing through the door.

Redstone is a human settlement built on a wasteland.

There are governments, armies, and imperial systems in this world, and there are also nobles and civilians. The scars of war in ancient times have not been restored until now. There are densely populated areas with rich resources and settlements like Redstone City, which are completely spontaneously built by civilians. The only difference lies in whether the location is at the core of the imperial rule? Or is it a wilderness that ignores laws and rules?

No one can tell how many places there are like the Wasteland? This continent is too big. For a long time, many adventurers have wanted to find the edge of the continent, but no one has ever reached the end. A blurry boundary divides the entire continent into two halves. This is humans and there are aliens.

They are monsters that really feed on humans. No one knows the specific number? No one knows the detailed classification of monsters. Some monsters are similar in basic shape to humans, the only difference is that their heads become wild beasts. Some monsters maintain a terrifying terrifying appearance, but their strength and speed are no less than the best human warriors.

It is not difficult to figure out these background information. Redstone City is a fortress-type settlement. It does not exclude or taboo outsiders, but is quite welcome. It is not the core of the empire, nor does it protect it by police and army. People can only spontaneously form civilian armed forces to fight against the death threat from the wilderness.

Here, you can get whatever you want. Food, weapons, tobacco, alcoholic beverages...even drugs and women are not lacking. The openness and roughness make Su Hao remind you of some violent cities on earth. Because of this, a large number of refugees pour into Redstone every day. Most of them are civilians who cannot survive in the imperial territory. The unemployed, criminals, homeless people, and gold diggers who want to find hope for life together constitute the city and constantly fill every corner of Redstone.

Copper coins and silver coins are the most important currency circulating in the empire. Gold coins are very expensive, and the huge exchange amount with silver coins leads to gold coins often only circulating in the upper class, or as a constant trading unit. In addition, there is something with a higher value of money, that is, crystal.

In the bar, Su Hao has seen all kinds of people. They struggled in the wilderness and fought wildly for life. They called the non-human monsters occupying the other end of the continent "dark creatures". As long as they kill them, they can get crystals.

The most common white one, the yellow crystal is about ten times the value of white crystal. Su Hao has also seen blue crystals with a smaller number and more expensive number. However, few people can take out blue crystals. Crystals are common to the currency, and no one can fake them.

The enemies in the wilderness are not just dark creatures, but also many guys who were originally humans but stood opposite to humans for various reasons. The sand ghosts that Su Hao and Zachley once encountered are one of them. In addition, there are mobs and infected people.

There are many radiation areas on this continent. When there is no accurate range, anyone may misunderstand. Some people die inexplicably, while some people survive by chance. The offspring they gave birth to have various deformities due to excessive radiation. Out of fear of radiation, normal people cannot accept it and refuse to recognize their existence. People who are forced to wander in the wilderness eventually form a mob group. They do things without any scruples, and more of them begin to fall into the side of dark creatures. Thousands of years have passed, and many mobs have become more and more in appearance.

Dramatic changes. Some people have grown fangs, some have lost their thinking ability, but have gained a stronger barbaric physique. Dark creatures have shown strong interest in these human groups that are wandering on the edge of civilization, but are exiled and exiled. There is a lot of evidence that the mob and dark creatures are closely related, and even mating or intermarrying. What kind of monsters does complex gene ratio create? This question has always troubled the empire. In short, there are more and more casualties reported from border guards, and wars are becoming increasingly difficult to fight.

Infected people are very similar products. They are also abandoned children of human society, but because they have no life skills, they are forced to wander in the wilderness. Many people accidentally eat wild fruits with strong toxins, and some people cannot bear the hunger and feed on rotten animal corpses. Many people die, and many people survive tenaciously. The survivors naturally produce antibodies, and the types of food naturally become more and more abundant.

There is no definite evidence that who discovered the value of the infected person first. But there is no doubt that the most significant utilization of the infected person is still the Imperial Army. When there is a clear record of the history of mainland civilization, the Imperial Army contacted high-risk groups such as plague, and treated the infected person as a dog, feeding them with the body of the sick person. Due to the special genetic order of the infected person, they have a strong acceptance attribute for the body of the sick person, and then form new antibodies to related diseases in the body... In this way, in the ignorant period when civilization just originated, the infected person became "medicine people" and cured other patients with their own flesh and blood.

With the advancement of science and technology, infected people have been completely abandoned by the empire's senior officials. According to relevant laws, infected people are uncontrollable and high-risk groups. Population verification work is led by the Imperial Military Department and has formed a complete and strict monitoring system within the empire. Any human with infected people's genes will be immediately expelled and transported by the military to the edge of the territory.

Civilization is a huge fortress. Even the powerful imperial army has no power to cover every wilderness outside the fortress. These extremely vast areas with light and heavy meaning can only be handed over to civilians from the poor. The empire will not assign forces in civilian settlements such as Redstone City, nor will it set up institutions such as hospitals. Naturally, infected people have reasonable existence value. They are still supervised and controlled by people in the settlements like their ancestors at the beginning of civilization, feed on the body of severely ill people, produce antibodies, and then cut off their flesh piece by piece to treat other patients as drugs.

This is actually a place of sin. Kindness has no living soil here. If you want to survive, you must use any means to be more fierce, tyrannical and cruel than others.

Every day, many people visit "Silver Arrow". Not only this bar, but many taverns on this street have good business. Drinkers usually spend the last copper in their pockets before leaving with their drunken bodies. There is no market for savings and saving money. People will only joke about the guys with this idea as idiots and extremely stupid. Because no one knows how long they can stay here? How many days can they live? Therefore, they never hesitate to spend money, just look at whether they have fun, rather than whether they are worth it.

Alles is the burly giant man, and he is indeed a friend of the small vendor Zachley. The tavern is not just selling wine. The other big business is actually a catering business, so the demand for salt is naturally greater. Ales' purchase price for Zachley is slightly more than the outside market, and a stable source of goods is thus created. Because of this relationship, Ales will certainly not refuse Zachley's request to take care of Su Hao.

The role of a waiter is always missing in the tavern. It’s not that Alex couldn’t find anyone, but just for Zachley’s sake, he gave Su Hao a set of clothes and a meal, and his low price to keep him.

It is a daily wage that controls food and accommodation.

This made Su Hao really not picky about it. In fact, this is also his only way out at the moment. He can be said to be ignorant of the third stage world, and there is no accurate concept of the strength of dark creatures. Dark Hunters are the highest-paid group in Redstone City, but that kind of job is not competent by just one person, nor can they go out to the city to harvest prey with a gun and a knife. They are very powerful and their intelligence is no less than humans. Who is the real prey? Only after fighting and killing will they know.

What's more, Su Hao doesn't even have an ordinary hunting knife now.

According to Alles's idea, Su Hao was just a poor homeless man, who saved Zachley's life by chance. Ales has seen many such people. According to the rules, Zachley did take out a few silver coins as rewards. His generous reputation cannot make outsiders have other ideas because of a mere vagabond. Anyway, I did keep him. Although the wages of a copper coin were indeed too low, it did not deduct anything in terms of food and accommodation. As for whether Su Hao could accept it? Will he leave? That was not Ales's business.

The giant man with a very different complex thoughts and generous appearances soon discovered that he had indeed hired a very good waitress.

Su Hao is very serious in his work, and his face is always filled with a cold expression of indifference to nothing, and he seems to have no interest in anything happening around him. This guy is never lazy, and he doesn't like sleeping in like other people in the tavern. He gets up and is busy before dawn, and he always has different tasks in his hands: cleaning tableware, wiping tables and chairs, polishing and waxing wine glasses, and making various simple foods in the kitchen. He is like a humanoid machine that never knows what it is. It is full of horsepower and does not have to worry about wear and tear.

The only problem is that Su Hao has a lot of appetite and eats about three people for each meal. This flaw is nothing to Alex. The people in Redstone City are either criminals or villains. It is impossible to find a few guys who are really willing to do things honestly. Even beggars begging on the street are lazy and greedy. They would rather lie on the ground and kowtow all day than stand up to help the servants in the kitchen. Perhaps, this is the difference between lazy and honest people. The former is always dirty and pitiful. Everyone wants to kick them up when they see them, but the latter is somewhat respectable, and few people want to provoke them.

Honesty and diligence are often a compliment. However, in Redstone City, it is a symbol of being bullied. Even in a tavern like "Silver Arrow", the differences between identity and level also exist.

Sam is also a waiter. This thin young man has a very active mind. His uniform is always clean and his hair is combed meticulously. Sam is very handsome, at least he thinks that although the waiter's work ranges from the kitchen to the front hall, Sam's activity range is limited to the front hall of the tavern, and he rarely enters the kitchen all day long. He always has endless things to say to the guests, either smiling, serving food and wine to the guests, or talking about a woman for a casual conversation for several hours... In short, Sam can play both the audience and the speaker at the same time. There are many people who like this kid, and there are many people who hate this guy.

Su Hao's appearance made Sam feel threatened. The reason is very simple. Su Hao's appearance is much more handsome than Sam. Although Su Hao never embellishes in this regard and rarely pays attention to it, he always gives people a bright feeling, far from being comparable to a greasy and pink-faced man like Sam.

There is never a shortage of women in the tavern. Whether it is the female drinkers who come in outside or the maids inside, they all have different degrees of interest in Su Hao. When they go to work on the first day, Sam discovered this problem: the fat cook has a pretty good figure, but the maid with a lot of acne on his face is always looking for various opportunities to chat with Su Hao. The fat cook even specially baked a few small cakes for him. The maid always wandered around in front of Su Hao intentionally or unintentionally, either lifting the skirt that was short enough to be shorter, or deliberately squatting down so that Su Hao could look down at his unshirkable breasts from above.

These treatments used to belong to Sam. Humans' pursuit of beauty is never limited to a certain age or identity level. Although the cook is fat, he looks good. When he teased Sam, he once pressed him to the corner of the kitchen to kiss him hard. The maid had slept with Sam several times. Although the woman was thin, her hair was very thick. She acted like a hungry tiger in the jungle, and almost didn't suck Sam alive.

Whether it was teasing or tempting, Su Hao ignored it. He just did what he should do, and his contact with the tavern archery was limited to holding a plate and walking in front of the guests' table, then putting down the plate and turning around and leaving.

Could this guy be a mute?

This guy may be incompetent.

Is this guy a gay guy?

All kinds of rumors about Su Hao began to spread in the "Silver Arrow" tavern. Many different eyes were concentrated on Su Hao from the corner, and people's opinions and ideas were also changing. But no matter what, people liked the guys who worked hard. The chef who always had a stern face would occasionally show a smile when he saw Su Hao. Although he was resentful, he began to change his target because Su Hao helped him wash dishes every day. As for the maid who wanted to taste Su Hao, she sprained her feet while walking in high heels. After being bound by Su Hao with ice and taking care of her all night, the eyes that looked at Su Hao were no longer tempting, but an extremely idiotic obsession, and even had the idea of ​​wanting to get married.

Sam, by comparison, looks like a redundant clown.

The bartender has always been Sam's best buddy. This situation changed last week: A guest with a status came to the tavern. "Silver Arrow" is usually a gathering place for middle and lower-class people, but there are always exceptions. A wealthy businessman who came from another place suddenly became interested in this place. He held the idea of ​​seeing that he never got involved in the place and ordered a cocktail called "Red Flame". As soon as he took a sip, he became furious and thought the wine was badly mixed and it was not the taste that "Red Flame" should have.

The matter was very big, and in the end, Alles came forward and apologized repeatedly to end.

Although Alex is a local snake, he also understands that some guests can ignore it, while others cannot afford to offend.

The bartender was almost scared and paralyzed at that time. The guards around Haoshang were all masters, and their wear and weapon configurations were rare high-end goods. People like this would not be easily offended even by the Dark Hunter Guild, let alone a small bartender, who would kill them if they were killed, not to mention that they had a good reason: "You are just using fake wine to deceive people."

Of course, wine is not fake. Ales also has a special hobby of mixing water into wine, but when he meets such guests, he always entertains the above-mentioned wine. The problem is indeed the bartender. He has heard of the name "Red Flame" and knows the general formula, but the actual amount of each material is vague. Moreover, the bartender also has a lot to do with the configuration method, temperature, etc. The same material and the same wine will indeed have completely different tastes between raw and mature hands.

The matter was over here, and Ales did not blame his friend for this. He just felt a little regretful. He thought he could take this opportunity to meet a rich merchant, but was disturbed by an unqualified glass of wine. He was lucky that he did not bring him any more disasters.
