Chapter 1339: Quirky tavern

When you come to an unfamiliar place and want to know the local customs, current affairs news, or want to inquire about information, the best place to go is the tavern.
The three of them got off the trestle and walked straight into the "Golden Anchor Tavern".
As soon as the tavern door was pushed open, the breath of tobacco mixed with alcohol flew into the nose, and noisy noises poured into the ears.
The lively atmosphere in the hall does not seem to be different from the pubs elsewhere, but after a little observation, Joan and Medea couldn't help but look surprised, Ruby's eyes widened in surprise.
The hustle and bustle of the pub hall is full of drunk people.
Half of them were men dressed as sailors or dock workers, and half of the guests were giant eagles standing upright and wearing feathers!
The giant eagles are either in groups of three or five, drinking beer around the wine table, or mixing with their human friends, playing cards, punching, laughing, and appearing very intimate.
These giant eagles are no different from humans in terms of language or manner of conversation.
However, their looks are so different from those of human beings. Although they get along well with the human friends in the tavern, in the eyes of Joan and other outsiders, they seem to be somewhat incompatible and very unreal.
Joan also noticed that the giant eagles in the tavern had a sailor scarf around their necks, most of them were pure white scarfs, and only two giant eagles were tied with orange scarfs. Unintentionally put the officer's shelf.
"Wow! There are so many great eagles here! But their manners don't look like birds at all. They look like humans put on the holsters of big birds, pretending to be giant eagles and drinking here for recreation."
Ruby muttered in a low voice.
A giant eagle by the side seemed to hear her vomiting, turning her head and grinning at her. The hook-like eagle's beak and sharp eyes made Scary quickly shrink back behind Joan, and the atmosphere didn't dare to come out.
"I have long heard that the eagle's mind is as smart as humans, but I really didn't expect that the eagles on this island were assimilated by humans even their lifestyles.
Medea couldn't help but express emotion.
Qiao An nodded sympathetically, holding the hands of the two women and walking across the crowd to the bar.
Behind the bar stands a giant eagle in a tuxedo and snow-white shirt. The feathers on the head are slightly white. The left paw is holding a sepiolite pipe. The right paw is looking at a newspaper on the bar. It looks like An handsome old gentleman.
Hearing the footsteps, the gentleman with a gentleman's head raised his head and showed them to Joan...Emmm~ Probably a friendly smile for birds.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to "Eagle Island" as a guest. The name is Hanks, and I'll wait for you."
"Uh, Mr. Hanks, are you the manager of this pub? Well, let's give each of us a drink first. If we don't disturb you, we still want to talk to you and ask about the interesting things on the island. ."
Medea tried to keep a courteous smile.
Mr. Hanks put down the pipe in his hand and looked away from Medea and Joan, turning to Ruby's face where his chin had just reached the bar counter.
"Sorry, let me ask one more question, this young lady is probably not yet sixteen years old?" Mr. Hanks looked at Joan.
Joan thought about it, Ruby's psychological age was probably equivalent to that of a human girl of eight or nine years old, and nodded.
"That's really embarrassing. According to the decree issued by the local lord Lord Edric, no matter whether local residents or foreign tourists, humans are under 16 years old, giant eagles are under 10 years old, they are not allowed to buy alcoholic beverages. Juice?"
"Uncle Eagle, Ruby, I don't like drinking! Please give me a glass of apple juice, thank you!"
With a relaxed smile, Mr. Hanks poured a glass of freshly squeezed apple juice, inserted a reed tube, and handed it to "Miss Ruby."
Then a waitress took the tray and placed two glasses of beer with white bubbles and a roasted pistachio in front of Joan and Medea.
Ruby took a big sip of apple juice, sipped his lips in satisfaction, and then asked Mr. Hanks: "Uncle Eagle, why do humans need to be 16 years old to buy wine, and the Eagles only need to be 10 years old?"
"Lovely lady, this is because our giant eagle family is more mature than you humans. Even if you are an adult eagle at the age of 10, you can already join the army." Mr. Hanks smiled gently.
Joan listened to him mentioning the word "join the army", and his heart moved slightly, and then Ruby asked Hanks: "Are the giant eagles wearing sailor scarves in the shop all soldiers?"
Mr. Hanks nodded and then explained further.
"They are all Far East Airmen trained on the island. The white bandanas are ordinary soldiers, the two orange bandanas are non-commissioned officers, and the red bandanas are captains and the blue bandanas are military officers. However, senior officers rarely come to the tavern for recreation, even if they want to drink, they will go to the officer’s club on the island."
Originally different colors of scarves are equivalent to badges on military uniforms and represent different ranks.
Joan noticed that the newspaper on the bar turned out to be the "Motherland Daily" published this morning. When I contacted Mr. Hanks just now, the giant eagles in the tavern were all aviation units belonging to the Far East Air Force. doubt.
"Mr. Hanks, "Eagle Island" is far away from the mainland and has been an independent territory since ancient times. Why should it provide giant eagles for the Far Eastern military?"
"Sir, from the question you asked, I can see that you must be a foreigner, and you know almost nothing about our North Bay, right?"
Mr. Hanks gave Joan a deep look and saw that the young mage did not refute, then said:
"It is true that our "Eagle Island" and all Beihai city-states, including Baiou Port, are actively seeking to merge with the Kingdom of Kolas, with our great King His Majesty Rudolph I as the head of state to form a The powerful Far Eastern Empire."
"Although the resolution of the United State has not been officially announced, we all know that this is a deadly thing. Even the inhabitants of our island are now self-proclaimed by the people of the Kingdom of Kolas, for our purposes. What strange thing is the motherland in China transporting air force soldiers?"
It seems that Joan does not understand why the residents of Eagle Island on the lonely sea have such a strong sense of identity with a landlocked country that has just been established less than two years ago. Hanks then explained:
"Our Eagle Island is willing to become a territory of the Kingdom of Kolas, in addition to the economic and military benefits after the merger, there is actually a more direct emotional factor."
