The atmosphere inside the heavy metal tavern is completely opposite to that of the cold night in the East. Dozens of workers in blue overalls beat the table and drank, playing games with cards. Laughing and yelling were intertwined in the tavern. Before the upcoming night, the whole person
The tavern continues to maintain a lively atmosphere. There are no private rooms here, only dozens of round tables scattered here and there, and the corners are generally not occupied.
At this time, the worker named Boy and his companions in the workshop took Arthur into the tavern. The noisy tavern instantly became quiet. Everyone looked at Arthur, whose leather coat was only slightly crumpled at the front door.
Fortunately, the workers with bruises and bruises stood in front of Arthur and announced that they were a group of workers before they returned to normal. They drank when they needed to drink and had fun when they needed to. Arthur, Boy, and the other three workers sat down.
There is a round table in the corner, and the table next to it is also the worker who just fought with Arthur.
Going back to twenty minutes ago, after Arthur said the words of inviting everyone to have a drink in the empty room, all the workers who tried to rob and extort were stunned at first, and then asked in disbelief: "Are you serious? You should
You know we want to steal some money from you, right?"
"Of course I know, but you didn't grab it, right? Plus you told me Quevedo's location, so there's no reason why we have to fight. Let's go. Where is the Heavy Metal Tavern? I'll treat you both to a drink.
One cup, please let your partners wake up first, I may have been a little heavy-handed at first." Arthur put away his posture, and while arranging his coat, he picked up the unconscious worker who fell on the ground next to him.
"You... why are you doing this?" The thin worker sat on the ground with the help of the workers around him, his chin tilted, and he was spitting out blood bubbles. Arthur walked up to him and pinched his chin.
, slightly transporting the elemental power of wood. By this measure, there is not even a large reaction of metal elemental force in the industrial area. Arthur used force to straighten the small worker's dislocated jaw. The warm and healing elemental power made the small worker even unable to
Too much pain. "I just want to make friends with you. Did you target me before because I am often looked down upon by the powerful as a worker? So you want to threaten me? Because people like me rarely enter industrial areas alone, right?"
Tell me your name."
"Boy, my name is Boy. I won't say my last name. I was a prisoner in Brighton City Prison before. I came to the industrial area to reduce my sentence. Are you a doctor? I must have no pain at all."
"Don't talk so much. I'll help them take a look at the others who are seriously injured. Then I'll treat everyone to a drink. Boy, everyone in this empty room tonight can drink whatever they want. Everyone
Let’s relax after the busy work. I planned to steal some of your money before, but you don’t want to be a complete bad guy, so go away, I have something to do with Quevedo.”
...
Arthur's recent living expenses can be considered rich with the help of blank checks, and he has Eloise and Mrs. Inno to help him take care of his daily life, so he doesn't need to spend any money himself. Now, looking at the relationship he has established in the industrial area, it is also possible
Yes. At least Arthur likes the atmosphere here. Even if many of these people are prisoners, he will not have any other opinions about Arthur. Arthur keeps clinking wine glasses with Boy and others, drinking one glass at a time in the industrial area
The characteristic low-quality beer and beer rich in metal elements made Arthur feel dizzy and emotionally infected. Arthur wanted to relax before meeting Quevedo. His life was controlled by the god of fate. Since he was twelve years old,
He has been fighting, fleeing, and facing all kinds of enemies and fatal dangers since the beginning. Now Arthur hugged the big man next to him and laughed loudly at the frustrated worker brother who lost the game of cards, without paying any attention to the clothes on his coat.
Contaminated with a lot of beer and stargrass ash.
In the Hermitage, Arthur received too much expectations, and in the Charity Society, he was also the object of everyone's concern. Arthur had never been able to enjoy life freely. He was burdened with too much. The shadow of the old gods has always shrouded the Hebrew bloodline.
Arthur hopes to live a life as wild as he can. No one in the industrial area knows him, which is what makes Arthur happy.
"Boy, what's going on!" Arthur sat back on the table. The fiery atmosphere in the tavern was still going on. Even Arthur drank his twenty-second glass of beer. Boy was already drunk on the table and was full of beer.
With a red face and talking nonsense, Arthur laughed and covered Boy with his coat, and handed a glass of beer handed to him by a worker nearby to Quevedo, who was squeezing through the noisy crowd. Even though his huge body was equally tall,
It was also obvious among the workers. After sitting down, Quevedo, who lost half his arm while exploring the news about the God of Life, carefully moved Boy to another round table, ensuring that only he and Arthur were talking to each other in the tavern.
.
"Quvedo! Come on, I'll pay for these people's drinks tonight, so drink as much as you like."
"Arthur...don't you care about the identities of these workers? Most of the people here were small-time criminals before, committing crimes such as robbery, theft, and fighting."
"We are also prisoners, Quevedo, and we are much more serious than them, so this is where we should be. At least they are willing to go to the industrial area to do things. They must have been forced by life before. Quevedo, I'm sorry for that.
I have never cared about your thoughts, and I am now formally asking you if you are willing to go to Nakau with me, where a free place for wizards will be established."
"I'd love to, leader, but may I make a suggestion?"
"Say what you like, Quevedo."
"Leave your ideal school to Boyi and his team to build. Boyi's team is responsible for house construction in the industrial zone. Find some work for them. As long as they have a visa from the director of the industrial zone, they can go out to build."
"Well... I understand, let's do this. I will come to the industrial area with you in two days to have a good talk with Boyi and the others about cooperation."
"I understand. It's not too late. The entrance to the industrial zone will be closed any later. This is also to prevent these prisoners from escaping. I'll send you out, Arthur. I'm pretty good and can come in and out at will. Boy and the others
But that’s not possible.”
"Huh? Didn't tonight just start? Can your house sleep two people?"
Quevedo's eyes lit up and he smiled innocently. He took the beer handed by Arthur and drank it in one gulp. The two looked at each other and laughed at each other's drinking capacity. They also asked the bartender to bring more than a dozen bottles of beer.
Drunk and unable to return.
...
Two days later, Arthur and Quevedo, disguised under their coats, were walking on the streets of the South District, holding in their hands the exit visas signed by the director of the industrial zone for a total of 22 people including Boy and his party. Arthur and Boy
After talking about the establishment of the school, the other party readily agreed. No one could refuse the money offensive, let alone the industrial zone director and Zeng Xingyou, who had been listening to the sound of forging and metal clashing all year round.
"Very good, Quevedo, we have now completed the most important part of our shelter. Boy and the others said when they can set off. I heard that there are two dwarves in their team, so the construction speed should be much faster.
"
"Don't worry, Arthur, they will definitely give you an answer in three months or something. By the way, Angelina doesn't plan to go to Naka'u, does she?"
"Yes, or she doesn't plan to live in Nakau for a long time, so I will give her the status of a liaison and intelligence agent. She is now learning from Johns about developing contacts. I have asked Johns, and he is very
I am willing to follow us to Nakawu City. From now on, Johns’s eye contact in Brighton City will be handed over to Angelina..."
Arthur suddenly collided with a passerby coming from the opposite direction. Before Arthur could react, the other person had already bent down to apologize and backed away. Arthur never saw the other person's face. Quevedo looked at the passerby who was walking away and said to Arthur
Nodding lightly: "Leader, are you missing something?" Arthur touched his inner pocket when he heard this. The Ed coins in it were gone. He smiled helplessly and walked towards the front with Quevedo.
Try to chase the thief who is evacuating quietly in the crowd.
After passing through two deserted alleys, Arthur and Quevedo caught up with the panting thief. Arthur shook his head and walked into the thief: "What a coincidence, the big city of Brighton, you are just ready."
Are you ready to be punished for stealing my money?"
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry, sir! It was... that lady who asked me to contact you in this way!" The thief Nuonuo huddled up and pointed to the heights of the alley, where there was a man wearing a cloak and a mask.
The woman sat on the roof of the small house and looked down at him and Quevedo.
Arthur waved the thief to hand over the money and left. Looking up at the woman, he suddenly realized that the woman was the woman who stopped him and Johns from chasing Mozkov's brown uniformed troops to kidnap the strong fighter.
What does she want to do with him? It was his own fault that he didn't catch her before. Now he and Quevedo won't have such a problem. Quevedo is also a wizard who is about to awaken.
"Arthur... before you go to Nakau, you must be careful. Isis's goal is not only the Monument of Life... but also one of his artifacts was taken out of the temple..."
"What are you talking about? Wait, who are you? Why do you know so many things?" Arthur was wary. He did not dare to use elemental power now for fear that the patrols of the Arbitration Institute and the Law Enforcement Team would find him.
"Don't care who I am, I am a believer in destiny. Go to the western border of the Elf Forest. Your brother and your favorite lover are about to be attacked by Isis..." After saying that, the woman pressed the mask and climbed over the roof and disappeared.
In the alley, only Quevedo, who looked confused, and Arthur, who was shaking due to the warning left by the woman, were left.
"Arthur...what is that man talking about?" Quevedo rubbed the back of his head. After losing half his arm, he was like a normal person and his daily life was normal. This is what Johns admired about Quevedo.
"It's not good, Quevedo! Come with me. We have to go to the Elf Forest and let Temasio and Boy contact them about the construction. Elus will guard the Monument of Life. You can call the top
