Chapter 176 Weird Premonition

Until he returned to the ground, Rhodes still felt a little strange. (《》)

I don't know why, but since the floating ship set off, he has always had a bad premonition. This is not the kind of instinctive reaction similar to the life-and-death crisis in the coming of Death, but more like a student's sudden suspicion that there may be a surprise test tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Rhodes is not a person who believes in intuition. He prefers to obtain information by analyzing the status quo. He believes that the so-called intuition is nonsense. The reason why humans have such reactions is simply that their brains unconsciously analyze the information they remembered before and then draw conclusions. For example, a person once saw a plane explode, and before boarding the plane, he may accidentally glance at the wing, and there may be a damaged part there. Although he himself may not take this picture to heart, the brain is constantly operating and processing information, and then analyzes and draws a dangerous conclusion without his consciousness, and then the body reacts to remind the owner of danger. So if you can recall clearly and carefully, you may be able to find out the source of this feeling. But sometimes the body's reaction is not necessarily correct, and relying entirely on intuition is a very dangerous thing. After all, it is the judgment made by a person unconsciously, not the result of rational thinking.

So unlike Anne, Rhodes only regards intuition as a reference for making judgments, rather than relying entirely on it. He originally thought that the ship might have something wrong, or they would encounter some sudden attacks on the way, just like before. However, the fact is completely contrary to what Rhodes thought. The Flying arrived at the destination very smoothly without any potential threats or attacks. The tide was very fast. When they arrived at Stone Town, the sun had not even settling. No matter from any aspect, this was the standard of "smooth sailing".

But where did my inexplicable uneasiness come from?

Turning his head and looking at the Flying Crew not far away, Rhode shook his head and threw this idea behind his mind. Humans are intelligent creatures, so they should rely on their own thinking to get the answer, rather than relying on unclear instincts to live - but not everyone agrees with his words.

"Captain, Annie is hungry..."

Anne, who was standing beside Rhode, looked at him pitifully, grabbed the corner of his clothes with both hands, and blinked a pair of big eyes, revealing a pleading gaze.

“………I remember you had just eaten two hours ago?”

When he thought of that meal, Rhode felt disgusting. He had never thought that he could even see disgusting when he saw a person eating. The temple did not mean how indecent or uncomfortable Anne's movements were. On the contrary, Anne's movements were a little bolder, but they were just similar to other mercenaries. But the amount she ate was completely unbearable, because the food in the first class was free and unlimited, so Anne had no need to be as restrained as in the stronghold. However, Rhode still underestimated the girl's stomach and ate it with relish.

When he was holding the meat steak on the plate, Rhode felt a little hungry. But until she started eating the thirty or thirty-first piece of meat steak, Rhode finally couldn't stand it anymore... He looked at the pile of bones next to Anne, and the hills piled up in the plate, and seemed to have at least twenty pieces of roast pork steak. He turned his head and began to appreciate the scenery outside. As soon as he imagined putting such a pile of food into his stomach, Rhode felt like he wanted to spit it out... According to Rhode's original world, he was "scared" and full.

Now looking at Anne in front of him, Rhode had nothing to say except speechless. He remembered the "feast" two hours ago. He didn't want it to be fine. When he thought about Rhode, he felt that he probably had no appetite for dinner today.

"But………"

Anne knew it, but she still bit her finger and stared at Rhode with a longing gaze.

"You ate fifty pieces of roast pork chop, where did you eat?"

Speaking of this, Rhode's eyes moved to the girl's slender and flat belly. He really asked this question with a very scientific attitude. It was not a mini-small dumpling, but a fifty-piece meat cutlet the size of a palm... Annie's belly didn't even look bulging at all. Could it be that her stomach was alien or had a mini black hole?

What's more important is that she is hungry again now?

Aware of Rhode's gaze, Anne stuck out her tongue and said nothing, but she obviously didn't seem to give up.

But Rhodes no longer intends to answer her questions.

"We're going to find a place to stay now and we'll leave early tomorrow morning."

Although located in the heart of Parfield, Stone Town is not a bustling town. It is a very quiet and remote place. There are no good products here, and the only thing worthy of praise is that their PuTao wine is pretty good. (") It is not difficult to find a place to live in such a peaceful town.

When Rhode opened the door and walked into the tavern, it was already lively. Those who had finished their work were now sitting at the table and enjoying the food and wine in front of them. Farmers in plain clothes were talking loudly in the corner, while those adventurers were mostly sitting at the counter, whispering to each other.

The arrival of Rhode and Anne attracted a lot of attention. Most people did not look at Rhode, who was hiding in the cloak. On the contrary, Anne, who followed him, was welcomed very enthusiastically. Many people raised their glasses to her with a hint of teasing after seeing this beautiful girl and invited her to take a sip. Some people even whistled beside her, wanting to attract her attention.

If Marlene had changed to this, she would have been so calm that she would have taught these guys who were "disrespectful" to her. Lijie just pretended that she didn't hear her words and left the occasion as fast as possible. However, Anne was obviously completely different from them. Faced with the welcome of these strangers, she showed very high profile and enthusiasm - just like an idol was attending a fan meeting.

"Ho... Hello everyone, haha, Annie's name? Annie's name is Annie? Uncle, do you want to invite Annie to drink? Haha, no? The sun has not set yet, so drinking is not possible..."

Following Rhode all the way to the counter, Anne chatted with the drinkers around her very familiarly, and the guests were also amused by Anne's words. Of course, not all of them were lustful, and some of them were simply drunk and wanted to have fun. But it was obvious that there was no such thing among the group of people who made Anne feel dangerous, otherwise she would not have shown this way.

Soon, two seats were left for the two of them at the counter. Rhodes sat down first, and he nodded politely to the adventurer beside him, and then placed a gold coin on the counter.

"Two rooms, two more glasses of fruit wine, and finally..."

Speaking of this, Rode looked at Anne not far away and shook his head.

"Give this lady another dinner."

"Okay, sir, please wait!"

After taking the gold coins, the boss immediately smiled enthusiastically. He greeted Rhodes diligently, then quickly turned and left. Until then, Anne had already arrived at Rhodes and sat down with a smile. Then she stretched out her left hand, took down the golden shield on her back, and then put it on the ground.

"Dong!"

The almost dull sound of earthquake even made the entire tavern quiet for a moment. People looked at each other, not knowing where the sound came from. And the adventurers who were holding wine glasses, who were planning to take this opportunity to "discuss life" with this beautiful girl, turned around and ran away without any hesitation. They were not blind, but of course they saw the golden shield leaning against Anne and the sunken on the ground. This terrible thing they might not be able to handle, and the girl in front of them could hook it up with one hand and put it next to them... Now they finally knew what a thorny rose is not easy to mess with.

Taking everything around her, Rhode smiled in her heart. He was not the kind of person who likes lively occasions, but Anne was obviously good at engaging in the atmosphere. In such occasions, if Marlene came, it might cause conflicts, because she was a nobleman and was always a bit disgusted with the teasing of the common people, which made her feel that those people regarded themselves as dancers in the tavern, which was an insult to herself. However, Anne obviously didn't think so. She felt that everyone was very enthusiastic and not a bad thing. She has always been a person who likes lively and playful, and she also likes to participate in it. This will reduce their potential enemies in many cases. Look at the attitude of the surrounding drinkers now on them, and you will know that Anne's approach is very effective.

"The wine is coming, the guest."

The boss's attitude is also very enthusiastic. For him, two guests who are generous and do not cause trouble are simply the most wonderful combination.

Seeing the sweet bread and honey baked in front of him, Anne screamed excitedly, and then immediately took action. Rhode looked helplessly at the girl who had started to eat voraciously, shook his head, and then he picked up the wine glass at hand, took a sip of the sweet and sour wine in the glass, and then spoke.

"Boss, I want to ask you something."

“Do you have any need for a guest?”

The boss answered Rhode's words while picking up the wine pot and busy taking care of other businesses.

“That’s how it is.”

Speaking of this, Rhodes paused and considered the words before continuing.

"As you can see, we are two adventurers and are currently planning to head to the Black Pine Ruins. Do you have any suggestions?"

"Black Pine Relics?"

Hearing Rhode's inquiry, the boss frowned. He touched his chin, thought for a while before shook his head.

"Well... No one has been to the Black Song Ruins for a long time, and I don't know the specific situation, but I heard that a mercenary group seemed to have gone there two days ago."

"oh?"

Hearing this, Rhode raised his eyebrows.

"Mercenary Group? Do you know which mercenary group it is?"

"I don't know very well about this. They are not from us, but from Baishan City not far away."

The boss spread his hands and shook his head helplessly, then he smiled at Rhodes apologetically.

"Sorry, there is no good answer, but I think from my personal standpoint, I hope you can be careful. Because I have received those guys before, and they don't look like good people. The lady next to you is very beautiful, maybe those guys will cause something."

"I will pay attention, thank you for your reminder."

Rhode nodded to him at the boss's answer, and then he finished the glass of wine.

"I hope you can prepare a few more portions of food and hot water for this lady. We have been traveling for a day and want to wash the dust on our bodies..."

"Of course there is no problem with this. Dear guests, I can assure you that there is absolutely no problem with the service we provide to you."

Faced with Rhode's instructions, the boss patted his chest and made a promise, and Rhode didn't say anything else. Just as he was about to stand up and leave here for a walk, he saw a young adventurer walking to him. He smiled at Rhode first and expressed kindness, and then he spoke.

"Hello, gentleman, please forgive me for eavesdropping on your conversation. I heard that you are going to go to the Black Pine Relics?"

"That's right."

"So………"

Hearing Rhode's answer, a hint of excitement and expectation appeared on the young man's face.

"Do you plan to walk with others?"
