Page 23 [Spirits and Gunpowder]
Chen Senran and Little Fishman Fizz sat in the restaurant until evening.
During this period, they drank the restaurant's special lemonade while listening to the man named Jim continue to talk about all kinds of strange experiences he had when he was a soldier in Noxus.
Such as the Doom Clock in Utistan, the undead creatures in the Howling Swamp, and the ancient pyramids in the Shuriel Desert.
I have to say that Jim's eloquence is excellent, and he can often tell a common story over and over again. It would be a pity for him not to become a bard.
After a sumptuous seafood dinner, Chen Senran got up and prepared to take the little murloc Fizz to what he had learned from the restaurant owner, and was said to be the best tavern in Bilgewater——
Spirits and gunpowder.
It is said that it is a paradise for men.
I don’t know what kind of beautiful woman there is.
"Have you been to a pub?" Chen Senran closed the old creaking door of the restaurant and took a deep breath.
The evening air in Bilgewater is equally comfortable, with the vastness and wildness of the sea.
"No...no, those places...seem to be very expensive, and no one welcomes me." The little fish man said a little embarrassedly, and then he emphasized his tone as if to prove something, "But, I drink
After drinking, really, I drank two full glasses."
It said these two sentences quickly and urgently, probably because it didn't want Chen Senran to look down on it.
Chen Senran guessed that it must have puffed up its chest.
What a proud and fun kid.
Following the restaurant owner's guidance, Chen Senran and the others easily found this seaside tavern in the best location in the most prosperous Southern District of Bilgewater.
Spirits and gunpowder.
The huge signboard hangs in the dark night, and the special rune lighting system made of magic crystal makes the entire store continue to emit a scarlet-like blood-like light.
There is a strong smell of blood and a sense of impact.
It allows people to see it in the dark for the first time.
Although Chen Senran couldn't see it, standing at the door of the pub, he could clearly hear the wild laughter and clinking of glasses and the sound of fists leaked from the men through the cracks in the door and windows.
The sound of fists?
fight?
I encountered such interesting things as soon as I came here. It was really... a worthwhile trip.
Pushing open the door of the tavern, Chen Senran instantly felt a large amount of energy rushing towards him.
Someone is watching me.
"What's wrong?" Chen Senran asked the little fishman Fitz beside him.
"They..." The little fish man's answer was a little timid, and it seemed to take a step back towards Chen Senran.
"Hey, look, there's a new friend here, hey. Where are you from, kid?"
"Hey, look at that blue-skinned little guy. Isn't that a little fish-man who is very famous in the city recently? Don't be shy, little guy. I heard that you can do acrobatics. Come and have a look."
"Yes, if you are also here to join the fight club, we might be able to give you a hand because of your good acrobatics."
"Ha, one hand. I can give you two."
"Two, hahahahaha."
"Hahahahaha."
The moment the little fish man hesitated, a large number of people rushed towards Chen Senran and the others.
With wild laughter and a certain unkind contempt.
They almost said hey, boy, you look too skinny, get out of here.
Fight Club?
What?
Chen Senran was not deterred by the rough provocations of those men. In fact, he had no feeling at all against any verbal attacks.
Only the weak attack with their mouths.
As if nothing had happened, Chen Senran sat down where the wine table scanned in his spiritual world should be.
Then he snapped his fingers nonchalantly and said, "Doesn't the best tavern in Bilgewater have a bartender? Or is arrogance part of your hospitality?"
The whole tavern suddenly fell silent.
Everyone, whether they were those who provoked and ridiculed before, those who were waiting to watch the show, or those who were just minding their own business, all looked at the new guy.
As the best tavern in Bilgewater, and also the largest tavern, Spirits and Gunpowder has an extremely large hall that can accommodate more than five hundred people. Its design is very special, and all seats are designed
You can see the central gate for the first time.
See who is coming in.
In the past, the favorite activity of old drunkards who often drank spirits and gunpowder was to tease newcomers. They would tacitly and collectively ridicule them as soon as they discovered them.
Most people would either run away when faced with the stares of hundreds of strangers in the entire tavern, or they could only endure it silently.
There are few fiery guys who will take action directly.
For those weaklings who ran away or suffered silently, everyone would just laugh, but for those who wanted to take action, it was just right. They could take that guy to the specially opened fight club in the back and have a good fight.
But this time the guy...
"I'm sorry, guest, for keeping you waiting for so long. What would you like to drink?" A guy in a crisp black uniform finally came forward. He walked up to Chen Senran, bowed gracefully and said,
"As an apology, your first drink is free."
Under the warm yellow magic light of strong liquor and gunpowder, many people had realized that this newcomer was not simple, so they turned their heads to look at him again and continued with their own affairs.
But the old drunkards in the tavern who took the lead at the beginning felt that they could not live up to their reputation. If they gave up here, they would be laughed at by many people.
They won't have the shame to bully newcomers anymore.
So one of them, probably the leader, suddenly stood up from his seat and walked towards Chen Senran.
"Hey, kid, you haven't answered my previous question, who are you and where are you from?" This guy has a long scar on his face and a beard. He has a sinister look on his face when he speaks.
, very intimidating.
The little fishman was intimidated by him, and it became a little restless on the chair which was quite tall for it.
"Have you eaten too much tonight? Let's have a glass of wine to relieve your appetite. Which wine is better for digestion?" Chen Senran's last words were addressed to the bartender on the side.
He didn't pay any attention to the scarred man.
Seeing how calm Chen Senran was, the little fish man also calmed down, but still didn't speak.
Obviously, the scarred man still scared it.
"For digestion, ale wine is better..." the bartender replied thoughtfully.
"Hey! Boy, are you challenging me? What the hell..." But before the bartender could finish, the scarred man interrupted him.
The man with the scar turned red and suddenly clenched his fists, about to overturn Chen Senran's wine table.
But just when his fists were about to smash down, Chen Senran grabbed his wrists in preparation.
The reaction speed was so fast that even the scarred man was stunned for a moment. Knowing that Chen Senran was blind, the little murloc even enlarged its already large fish eyes.
"Has no one ever taught you to be polite to others?" Chen Senran asked in a calm tone without letting go.
"Give me..." The scarred man's face turned even redder. He didn't know why, why the guy in front of him looked so thin and frail, but he had so much strength that he couldn't break free at all.
"What are you doing?!" The guys who were originally cheering along with the scarred man stood up from their positions, probably seeing their boss suffer a loss.
A dozen muscular guys with fierce faces were gearing up, and they were really quite imposing.
It's a pity that Chen Senran is blind. He can't see.
"Everyone, I don't need to remind you. If you want to fight, it's the old rules." The bartender in a straight uniform remained calm from beginning to end. He said in a tone that he had seen too many such scenes, "This guest, although
You are a guest from afar, but please abide by the rules of our tavern. Otherwise..."
He didn't say what to do otherwise, but the threat in his words was self-evident.
"What are the rules?" Chen Senran casually let go of the scarred man's hand and asked while wiping his own hands with a napkin on the table.
Although he has become the third mate of the Ming Yuan, he clearly knows how much his third mate weighs. He also knows clearly that it is better not to cause too much trouble when the foothold is not stable.
"Fight Club." The man with the scar looked at Chen Senran wiping his hands and spat out the answer with an ugly look on his face.
"Fight Club?" Chen Senran frowned, hearing this word for the second time, "I've never heard of it."
Never heard of it?
Those guys who were originally aggressive all looked shocked, looking at Chen Senran as if they were seeing some kind of monster.
"You've never heard of Fight Club, what are you doing here?" Scarface looked incomprehensible.
In fact, Spirits and Gunpowder was originally just a small tavern, far from being the number one in Bilgewater. It wasn't until the boss introduced an organization called Fight Club last year that the number of people who came to visit exploded.
, it was able to be expanded and renovated to become the best in the entire Blue Flame Island.
The tipping point is Fight Club, an organization with fighting as its core concept. It has only one feature: fighting, close combat without any weapons and without any restrictions on fighting methods.
This extremely primitive and wild rule has attracted almost all the desperadoes on Blue Flame Island.
And the guy in front of me actually said he didn't know.
"Are you afraid?" The scarred man suddenly laughed as if he had discovered some secret, "If you are afraid, just kneel down and call me grandpa three times, and I will let you go."
"Fight Club, right over there?" Chen Senran still ignored the scarred man and raised his finger to point to a location behind the entire tavern.
There were faint sounds of heavy breathing and the roar of fists. The sound of fists that Chen Senran heard before should also come from there.
"Yes." The bartender nodded.
"Bring me a glass of Poseidon's Roar." Chen Senran stood up and said, "No ice." (To be continued...)
