Chapter 111 Narwhal
The floating disc under his feet seemed to use some strange material. Through the translucent disc surface, you can directly see the white plank road below. Horay even suspected that this was the first-level magic of Tansen floating disc with constant spells, because Horay felt that it was very easy to control.
A group of three people flew towards the entrance of the cave on a floating disc. When they were closer, Huo Lei discovered that the so-called cave, including the cliff, was not made of nature. Although the edges of the cave were not flat and the surface of the cliff was uneven, the artificial traces were also very obvious. It seemed that the so-called tavern should undoubtedly be an extremely large etheric fortress.
After entering the entrance, there is a tunnel-like passage. The white trestle is getting wider and wider. In addition to both sides of the trestle, the walls of the cave are also surrounded by berths where magic boats can be docked. There are many cabin doors on the walls connecting the berths for people on the magic boat to enter the interior of the tavern. The more Huole and others walked forward, the more pedestrians there were around, as if they had entered the city from the suburbs of a city, and a city was slowly revealed in front of Huole and the others.
The city does not seem to be big, with several main streets including the main body of the city. Surprisingly, there are light green sky, floating clouds, and glowing suns above the city. The daytime picture simulated by this magic does not feel unreal at all, making people feel as if they have come to a real world, and even the air reveals a fragrance of soil.
And in this small city in the boat, it was bustling with people, with shops around it one by one, and the prosperity was far beyond the limit that ordinary small cities could bear.
"The tavern is a free city within the Astron Crystal Wall. It is not under the jurisdiction of any world. Even the Astron Crystal Wall Alliance has no choice but to do anything to the tavern. It drifts in the Ether World all year round and can be regarded as the largest black market in the Astron Crystal Wall. Even if you want to take the lead of the Green Forest Elf King, you will find a buyer that satisfies you in the tavern. This is still the first choice for disputed countries to negotiate, because I have never heard of anyone breaking the ban on private fights in the tavern, so the safety of any party can be guaranteed..."
Weber began to introduce the tavern to Horay and Catherine, and the tone seemed to be a bard praising the grandeur of Paradise Mountain: "The tavern can be said to be a holy place for pirates, a paradise for adventurers, a piggy bank for slave merchants, and a hypermarket for intelligence dealers!"
Horay looked at Webber, and today he seemed to have said a little too much: "You have only been here three times at most, but it sounds like you have lived here for three years."
"Oh." Webber said with his eyes blinking, "In fact, this is the passage I describe the tavern in my book."
"Not bad!" Horay patted Webber on the shoulder: "Literature is just exaggerated."
"Maybe, but for a tavern, this description is not too exaggerated."
"But why is this called a tavern?" Catherine asked while looking around, "Because there are many taverns here?"
"The tavern is just a conventional name. I don't know the original name - if there is one - because it is as lively as a tavern, anyone can come, and there are some to play when they come, and they leave when they play. This is a good place for most people who are used to ether navigation." Weber said, pointing forward: "Let's walk down for a while, this will save effort, but you can't see anything."
The direction Weber pointed was a street intersection, with passers-by with different clothes, expressions, and shapes. Huo Lei and his team came down from the floating disc, like the previous group of passengers, and walked towards the intersection. Anyway, others would soon get rid of the floating disc, so this traffic management method was considered a waste of time.
Passing the street, several people walked onto a street full of crowds, with shops on both sides and many signs. Horay seemed to have walked into the southern part of Gaia again in a trance. Lai Xiaoli and Huli suddenly jumped from the side to him, which would not make him feel so strange.
Webber walked in front and took the lead in walking into a store. After Horay and Catherine walked in, they found that it was a bookstore.
The bookstore is not large, but the bookshelf piled up in the room is almost impossible to move forward. Horay carefully bypassed a thick stack of hard-shelled books on the ground, and still felt dazed. If there were magic items here, it would be really similar to Dad Ganli's magic store, the same congestion and the same mess.
Since he was here, Horay looked at the spine on the bookshelf next to him. The owner couldn't help but place the books in the store everywhere, and there was obviously no catalog classification. Next to a magic potion guide, there was a sex/love album. Horay looked at Catherine, who was also looking through a book not far away, and finally gave up the idea of taking the album down and flipping it.
"That's great, haha, I actually found it!" Weber's ecstatic shout came from the depths of the bookshelf.
Weber fell down a stack of books on the ground, ran to Horay, holding a book in his hand, and said excitedly: "Look, Tailin Moore's new book, I've heard that he has released a new book, but I haven't had the chance to buy it!"
"Oh!" Horey smiled happily for Weber: "Tyrin? Who is Moore?"
"A novelist." Weber couldn't put it down and stroked the cover of the book: "It can be said that he is the greatest novelist in the entire main material plane!"
Huo Lei shook his head with a chuckle. This was too big, but Huo Lei didn't want to go with Weber? What is the reason why there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Most literary young people like Weber are very paranoid in their personalities, and there will be no result in arguing with him.
"What's wrong with him?" Catherine walked to Horay and looked at Webber, who jumped to the bookstore counter to pay.
"He found a book he really wanted to read." Horay said, suddenly feeling a little envious of Weber. His happiness was so simple that a book was enough to make him happy for a long time.
Horay and the other two came back to the street, and Weber suddenly said to Horay and Catherine: "I'll go back to the turret first."
"What?" Horey asked strangely: "It's not the time to return to the ship."
"I'm going to go back and read the book soon." Webber shook the book he had just bought in front of Horay: "I can't wait to finish it in one breath."
"But I still expect you to take us two around." Ho Lei said regretfully.
"This city is not big, I can't lose it even if I go around." Webber waved his hand and turned around and ran away.
"Why is this man like this?" Catherine said coldly: "It turns out that we were asking us to buy books with him."
"Forget it." Horay said indifferently: "Let's go for it by ourselves. To be honest, after staying on the magic boat for so long, it feels comfortable to get off the boat and stroll around, although I see that the tavern is just a larger magic boat."
The two of them wandered around the streets, and there were indeed all kinds of people here. Although many adventurers or pirates looked fierce, they felt that the security in the tavern was still very good. Horay did not see people like Gaia, like patrol guards, but he did not know how the owner of this Ether Fortress managed the city of the ship.
From time to time, some girls dressed up on the street flirted at Huolei. Huolei thought that their business must be good. After all, most magic boats do not have too many female crew members. After a long etheric sailing, men rarely resist this temptation. It seems that the porn industry is a pillar industry in the tavern. After walking for less than a dozen steps, seven or eight girls have already met with Huolei.
Compared with those rude and stinky Aether pirates, this handsome guy seemed to be better at serving him. He did the business he should do and enjoyed the happiness he should enjoy. Therefore, for a moment, Huole suddenly became a guest that everyone recruited.
Hore walked past the girls without squinting. If Catherine hadn't followed behind, Hore would have really wanted to tease these girls with thick powder. Basically, there was no way to tell a few beautiful and ugly girls. But compared to being ridiculed by Catherine, it would be better to give up this kind of pastime.
"Why don't you even ask about the price?" Catherine followed Horay's slightly faster pace and asked lukewarmly: "Are you afraid that your thirteen gold coins are not enough?"
Huo Lei scratched his head, and he performed well enough, why did this young lady still refuse to let him go?
"Save money to find a tavern for a drink." Horay said as if he was distracted: "It's not a pity to come to the tavern but don't even have a glass of wine."
"It's better not to go to that kind of place." Catherine frowned, as if she had no good impression of the tavern.
Horay knew that Catherine's status in Gaia must have never been to a tavern. The noble families of Herrantes generally do not agree with drinking among people of the ages like Horay and Catherine. Even if they drink a little, they must be at a private party held in the mansions of the noble princes. For the nobles of Herrantes, the tavern is a place where lowly airport workers and adventurers gather, and of course they will not have any good impression of that kind of place.
"What are you afraid of?" Huo Lei said seriously: "You are now the captain of the Fourth Combat Team in front of the Turret. You are a real Ether Pirate, a veritable outlaw. You are not afraid of fighting with the Goblin Legion, but are you still afraid of going to the tavern for a drink!"
"Horley, I didn't find you so poor when I was in the academy." Catherine gave Huorley a blank look, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
"Look, there is one here." Horay pointed to the entrance of a small tavern next to the street in front. When he walked to the door, the two raised their heads and looked at the sign above the lintel: "Narwhal Tavern, just this one!"
ps: Thank you for the rewards from Luoye and Captain Sulu! Alas, I let you down a little. Today is in a bad state and I didn’t go smoothly. From the morning to now, I only have this chapter. I have rewrited it several times and I am not very satisfied. But I can only do this for the time being. The plot of this section of the tavern is actually quite critical, so it is difficult to grasp. Please forgive me!
Reply to Qiu: Well, cruise ships also have this kind of plot. It seems that I can't escape the suspicion of plagiarism. However, these two books are really destined to be together and the subject matter is very close. However, since I know that the cruise ship has a plot to sell the protagonist, I should not let the sale succeed in order to avoid suspicion. Well, okay, actually I didn't want this sale to succeed...
Reply to Captain Sulu: Have you discovered the secret of Blackbeard...
Reply to the Guangzhou Admiral: A book friend just asked me not to have a harem, and you called me a harem again. To be honest, I am very embarrassed. Let’s do this, how can we let the protagonist learn the art of shadow clone?
Finally, reply to Chiyu: The narwhal is showing up!
Chapter completed!
