The 656th chapter fish bone tavern
The slums in Caribbean City are as messy and dirty as the shanty towns in the place where later generations produce some kind of sacred oil.
The people who live here are the lowest level of manual laborers in the city, fishermen, artisans, dock workers, odd jobs, the lowest women, crooks who make a living, thugs in gangs, etc.
The buildings are low and dilapidated. They are simply built with stones and wood. They are rough, simple and windy.
The houses were criss-crossed and crowded, revealing alleys with many twists and turns. In the dark alleys, malicious figures flashed from time to time. Behind the broken doors and windows, there were prying eyes.
There was a fishy smell in the air, and there was also an unpleasant smell that could not be described, which could directly smoke a person.
Sewage flows across the ground, and there is no sewer in the chaotically built houses. All kinds of sewage are dumped directly on the street.
The dry road was dusty, and a gust of wind lifted up the floating dust on the ground, covering people with a head and a face.
All kinds of were thrown everywhere on the ground, flies buzzing in groups, dogs and cats that sprang out from time to time, turning the everywhere.
The first time Lorraine set foot here, Lorraine frowned and curled his lips. Although Nedel City also has slums, the environment is much better than here.
The size of Caribbean Harbor is much larger than that of Neidel City, and the urban area is far more luxurious and luxurious than Neidel City, but on the other side of that dazzling gold, it is in dilapidated state.
The environment here is prone to plague and infectious diseases.
In this era, the way to deal with the plague is very simple, which is to block the area where the plague occurs, and then let them fend for themselves.
It is conceivable that in such a densely populated area, what will happen in the end once the epidemic occurs, it is no wonder that a black death can kill one third of the living people in Europe.
Vera was also uncomfortable, covering her nose, looking at Lorraine with a bitter expression.
Leo found it quite new, but under curiosity, he didn't care much about the messy surroundings.
And Xiaobai stood in front of a house, looking at the crooked house. Out of the tyrannical nature of war, he wanted to try to see if he could knock the house down. But I was also worried that people would come out to seek compensation.
Therefore, in my heart, heaven and man are fighting, with a look of hesitation.
Lorraine looked at the house in front of him. This is his destination today.
The low eaves, the cracked wooden doors, the tattered black fishbone signs on the doors, the writing on them has long been blurred.
Even if you guessed it, you can still understand that it says "Fishbone Tavern".
"That's it." Lorraine greeted Vera and Leo, pushed open the wooden door of the tavern, and walked in.
A rush of hot air mixed with the smell of sweat rushed towards his face.
The tavern was already full of people, wearing tank tops and short shirts, or simply shirtless people, sitting around greasy tables, all kinds of vulgarity were mixed in the unscrupulous laughter of the big guys, and there was still I can hear women flirting with people.
Follow the prestige, and you can see women in revealing dresses, heavy makeup, and five-cent buckets of low-quality perfume walking through the tavern. The thick makeup has completely covered his face, leaving only a mouthful of blood.
The moment Lorraine walked in, the tavern fell silent, and everyone looked at the unexpected guests who suddenly appeared in front of them.
But soon, what should these people do again, it's just that those people will look at Lorraine from time to time. There was a flash of malicious eyes.
Lorraine frowned slightly, and said in his heart: A mixture of fish and dragons, this is indeed a good place for Tibetans. Baibeard set this as a contact point, which is really good.
Although on the surface they are extremely chaotic here, but in fact they are loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Not to mention a spy, even a stranger like himself will be as conspicuous as a beacon in the dark.
He just glanced briefly, and there were several things wrong. The big cheeked man sitting on the edge of the counter was drunk, but his right hand was still the handle of the warhammer next to him.
The thin and tall man leaning on the fireplace, although he was hanging on for two waves, his hands were extremely clean, and the flash of light from under his clothes knew that he was a master of throwing knives.
Although the dancer sitting next to her is exposed, she sits like a green pine, her back is straight, and no one next to her dared to come forward to strike up a conversation, she knew she was a practicing family, and her status was not low...
Just as Lorraine was looking at them, those people also spotted Lorraine, and they turned around and looked at him.
At this moment, Leo jumped out from behind him.
He looked at the lively tavern in front of him, grinned and said with a smile: "It's so lively here~"
Accustomed to the prom banquet of the upper class, Leo walked into the simplest tavern for the first time, and it was naturally fresh.
Leo is especially envious of those shirtless and strong guys, but every time he does this, he shows two carefully drawn hairtails on his body, the black cat sheriff, the iron-armed Astro Boy, or the Crayon Little When they are new, they will all be caught by Catherine, and then they can't help but have a good meal.
Then, when Vera walked in, there was a burst of exclamation and noise in the tavern.
These splattered roughs have never seen such a beauty before, and all of them have their eyes widened and drooling at the charming Vera.
Vera was extremely dissatisfied with that nasty look. She stomped her foot slightly, considering whether to throw a fireball or something here to let them settle down.
Lorraine scowled around the tavern, then snorted coldly.
Looking at Lorraine's outfit, these old rivers and lakes in the tavern knew that this was not the rich man who should appear here.
Although many of them are desperadoes, they are not fools who casually ask for trouble-the kind of guy who doesn't have eyes is long gone.
These people have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, knowing that they can't afford to provoke the rich young man who came from the city. Although they don't know why people like Lorraine appeared here, many people still avoid their eyes with interest.
A plump woman in an apron hurried to Lorraine and said with a smile: "Oh, it's rare for a few distinguished guests to come here, this young master, come and sit down."
While talking, he stretched out his hand to hold Lorraine's arm, and then half of the man was leaning on Lorraine's body, and his chest was still rubbing against Lorraine's arm, pulling Lorraine toward the tavern.
Several women not far away exclaimed dissatisfiedly: "I was preempted by this girl again."
Xiao Bai is following at the end now, and has just reached his head.
It stepped into the tavern, but suddenly stopped, shaking its head and looking left and right, and found that it was actually stuck by the tavern door~
Seeing Lorraine and Leo walking inside, the uncle Xiaobai was anxious, arched his body hard, clashed, and the long and cracked threshold deformed and broke from the middle, Xiaobai screamed, and then shook the broken body. Scum, then rumblingly stepped forward to catch up with Lorraine and Leo.
Hearing such a big movement, Lorraine turned his head to look at the doorway that was missing a large piece, and sighed helplessly with his forehead.
These two little guys are all first grade dog skin plasters. I didn't want them to follow, but I was afraid that if they were too young, they would accidentally reveal their identity. I had to default it.
Leo patted Xiao Bai's head and said, "Xiao Bai, look, I said long ago that you can lose weight. You still eat so much every day, so it's all right."
Xiaobai looked at Leo innocently, as if he meant "It's not my fault".
"My door~" A mournful wailing sounded, and then a huge black figure rushed towards Lorraine and the others, the momentum not inferior to the running Xiaobai.
When he came to the front, Lorraine realized that this was a chubby man.
He ran and walked, the fat on his body trembled, his legs were no thinner than Xiaobai's, and he was covered with a dirty black dress.
With a demon wind rushing past Lorraine and the others, he hugged the door frame that Xiaobai had knocked open, and howled loudly.
"My great, great, great-great-grandfather, I’m not filial to my child~ I couldn’t keep our family heirloom~ I'm sorry to you~ Our baby, passed down for eight generations, was so ruined..."
The howling sound is like killing a pig, and the eardrum of the person who is shaking is sore.
Vera and Leo looked at the fat man dumbfounded, even Xiao Bai was taken aback, looking at the howling fat man inexplicably.
Looking at this familiar scene, Lorraine couldn't help but miss it, and couldn't help but laugh softly.
The fat man screamed for a long time, but couldn't see anyone coming to say a word, Lorraine and the others just watched him like that.
Such a loud howl was very laborious, and soon the fat man's throat dried up.
He rolled his eyes, jumped up on the ground, and walked to Lorraine, looking fiercely and viciously: "Boy, your pet smashed my heirloom. How can you pay me?"
Lorraine tilted his head and looked at the fat man in front of him, and said, "Heirloom?"
"Yes, it's this door." The fat man spit on his mouth and said loudly, "This door of my house is an old thing with a history of three hundred years. It was made by my grandfather in his life. But the finest huanghuali wood used the most famous carpenter at the time. It took three years to just carve the flowers on the door frame. Now... now you are actually..."
Lorraine sneered and said, "You just don't know what you are."
"What?" The fat man shouted angrily now that evil came from his gall.
He stripped of his clothes showing the thick long hair on his chest and tattoos on both sides. Then he threw the clothes on the ground, jumping his feet, and shouted: "Dare to say I don't know the goods, all the pubs, no, all the blocks. Anyone can prove to me that the wooden door of my Yule’s house is from the ancestors~"
The people in the tavern followed up loudly.
"Yes, yes, we prove that this is an antique."
"A full 300 years of history."
"This was still consecrated by the high priest."
"If you break it, you have to pay for it. You have to be reasonable."
"Yes, that's..."
Hearing support from someone, the fat man was bold. With his head held high, he looked at Lorraine confidently.
Seeing this, Leo clapped his palms and suddenly realized: "Oh, it turned out to be porcelain. , finally let me run into it~"
He immediately turned around, climbed onto the table next to him, and then condescendingly looked at this side with joy. I want to learn some excellent experience from middle school, so that the little father-in-law can digest and absorb, consolidate and improve.
Lorraine smiled and said: "If you say you don't know the goods, you really don't know the goods. Where is the yellow rosewood? That is obviously red sandalwood, which is much more valuable than the yellow rosewood."
"Huh?" The fat man was taken aback, very confused, and said: "Red sandalwood? Ah...yes, it's red sandalwood, red sandalwood. Yes, it's red sandalwood~"
This dead fat man probably used to extortion a lot before, and he was used to bargaining with others and paid back on the spot. This suddenly ran into someone who was willing to give more money, and it was extremely uncomfortable. I couldn't help but beat the drums.
But then I looked at the rogue rascals around me, all of them were eyebrows erect, intending to blackmail this little white face. Can't help being bold now.
He slapped the table, spitting loudly and yelled: "Boy, tell the truth, if you don't take fifty gold coins out, you don't want to go out of my door today, you have to take off your leg~"
Lorraine didn't get angry, but rubbed his chin, thoughtfully and said: "Fifty gold coins? Too few? How can this door be worth three to five hundred gold coins."
The fat man was stunned, and said with a dull expression: "Three to five hundred... gold coins..."
Lorraine looked at his expression and couldn't help wondering: "Why, too little?"
Fatty Xi's face was light, and he kept saying: "A lot, not a lot. Get the money. For your honest knowledge, I will give you another discount."
With that, he stretched out his fat palm to Lorraine. Fear of being slow, the little white face understood and stopped paying.
Lorraine lowered his head to look at his dark oilman, and said faintly: "Okay, then I will write you a note, you go to the city guard mansion to ask Fiona to get money."
"City...City Shoufu." The fat man's eyes were bigger than a cow, his face changed after a brush, and he stammered.
At this time, the waitress next to the fat man leaned into Fatty’s ear and whispered:
You’re fat, I didn’t see my old lady, I gave you a wink for a long time. They came in the city’s car, otherwise the old lady would sacrifice her appearance. ?
The lard has blinded you, you do it to death~"
The blood on the fat man's scared face faded.
Seeing Lorraine looking at herself with a smile, the fat man suddenly became clever, his eyes rolled, and then the big oily face twitched a few times, and his smile was forced out.
He bent down deeply, then smiled and said: "My lord, my lord. I just made a joke.
Although this door is antique, it is comparable to your visit as a distinguished guest.
Don't tell me, from the time you walked in, I felt that my century-old shop suddenly became bright. Please sit down and sit down. Muna, Muna, are you lazy again? Hurry up, get the bottle I have treasured for sixty years.
And you, you scoundrels, what to see. Hurry up to make way for adults. "
Lorraine said: "Then this door?"
The fat man waved his hand and said, "What's wrong, hey, didn't you hurt your cute baby elephant?"
The fat man stretched out his hand to touch Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai looked at his and oily hand, took a half step back, and picked his big teeth at him.
The fat man retracted his hand in a jealousy, looked at Lorraine with a flattering smile, bowed again and again, and said, "Please, please."
Lorraine smiled and said: "Lord Sir, I am not unreasonable, I am paying you."
Lorraine ejected a gold coin, rolled into the air, and then fell into the fat man's hand.
He saw a yellow gold coin in his hand. The fat man bent his waist lower and smiled more brilliantly. He said loudly, "Muna, where are you dead, please clean up the table and save the set I saved when I got married. Bring the tablecloth."
Huang Chengcheng's golden light also stung other people's eyes.
Although everyone was a little greedy, they all heard Lorraine claiming to be a Sir Alex just now.
Nobles with knighthoods can afford to provoke them, most people can only look at the fat man's good luck.
At this time, a pale-faced alcoholic stood up dangling. At a glance, you know that the drink is high.
He was spitting alcohol in his mouth, two of them fluttered, and he walked awkwardly towards the door.
When the alcoholic passed by Lorraine and them, his feet crooked, he staggered, and touched Leo's body, spraying fishy alcohol: "Sorry, sorry..."
Having said that, struggling to stand up, wobbly want to go out.
Leo's face changed at the moment, and then reached out, grabbed his wrist, and then hit the man's stomach with a punch.
The man screamed immediately and bent down in pain.
Leo did not neglect, and a big backhand slammed his face.
The alcoholic covered his face and said loudly, "Why are you hitting someone?"
Leo shouted angrily: "Boy, touch my uncle's wallet, you are still a little tender~"
As he said, he stretched out his hand to grab a string around his waist and pulled it hard, and suddenly he saw a wallet fall out of the alcoholic's arms, and several money bags fell out of the side with it.
At this time, the crowd screamed.
"My purse."
"My wallet is gone~"
"..."
Leo ignored them, but put away his wallet, then raised his leg, kicked the alcoholic's ass, and shouted angrily: "Go away~"
The drinker was kicked a few steps immediately, and then ran away quickly.
At this time, all the guests who had lost their wallets chased them out angrily.
The fat man saw it, and immediately chased it out, shouting loudly, "Asshole, you haven't given money yet, you haven't given it yet~"
But obviously he didn't run as fast as those people, and finally turned back sadly. Angrily scolded: "These always escape orders for excuses. They also say that my wine is not good. Next time they will pee in their wine~"
Lorraine couldn't help frowning.
He looked at everyone in Lorraine and immediately realized his failure to speak, and hurriedly said: "The little man is just angry but just talk about it, sir, don't be offended, don't be offended, haha, hahaha..."
He led everyone from Lorraine to the table, picked up the bottle, and was about to pour it.
Lorraine waved his hand and said with a smile: "Forget it. Don't take out the things you have mixed with water. Don't be ashamed. I'm here to find someone. Is Duke One-eyed here?"
The fat man froze for a moment, and said, "Oh, this, I really haven't heard of this guy."
"Oh?" Lorraine looked up at the fat man, seeing that he still had a simple smile on his face, but his eyes rolled around, Lorraine smiled and shook his head, took out a gold coin still on the table, and said: "Tell me He, the director of the theater asked me to come, and I have a big deal to talk to him."
A sharp look flashed in the fat man's eyes, and then he murmured, "That old dog."
He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "My lord, please wait a moment."
After speaking, the fat man walked quickly to the back door and disappeared into the black doorway.
Leo rolled his eyes, picked up the wine bottle on the table and poured himself a glass, then took a sip, and then "poof~" all came out.
"Bah, bah." Leo spit out, and said angrily: "This is also called wine, which is similar to cat urine."
Lorraine shrugged and said, "Otherwise, you think, look at them, they still envy the bottle of wine in your hand."
Leo glanced, and he saw many people greedy looking at the half bottle of bad wine on the table.
"Bah, the people are living this way, the demons still want to invade us, their brains are sick." Leo said bitterly.
Lorraine smiled and said, "Because of this, they envy us that we have good things, but they don't want to do it by themselves. The easiest way is to grab it."
The two chatted again.
At this moment, a figure appeared in the doorway, and Lorraine felt that he looked at him. When Lorraine raised his head, the figure had already flashed by.
Then the owner of the tavern came out and whispered in Lorraine's ear: "My lord, please come with me."
Lorraine and the others followed the fat man through the back door. After Lorraine and the others, several people in the tavern looked at each other and stood up and followed Lorraine and them.
After a messy courtyard ~EbookFREE.me~ the fat man opened a door and said, "Please come in."
Lorraine and the others walked into the room and saw a big man with a turban sitting in the middle looking at them coldly.
As the name suggests, there is a deep scar on the right half of the big man's face. It cut across the eye, and the eye socket is deeply sunken, leaving only a deep chilling hole.
The big man looked up and down Lorraine carefully with his remaining eye for a long time before he said: "I heard you are looking for me."
Lorraine also looked at him carefully, and then said: "Are you Duke?"
The big man nodded.
Lorraine pulled the chair away and sat across from him, and said, "I heard you know White Beard?"
Duke squinted at Lorraine. After a while, he nodded slowly.
"I want to discuss a deal with him." Lorraine hesitated and said at last.
