1336 Pub 2
The smoky, noisy environment in the tavern, the air is filled with the weird smell of sweat, body odor, foot odor, cheap perfume, rye wine, and fruit juice. Anyone who is not drunk will not feel happy smelling it. .
But Raymond, whose arms were held by Crystal next to him, felt particularly calm and comfortable at this time.
And this state of mind has lasted for three days, making him finally feel warm and comfortable.
This camouflage technique taught to Crystal by the girl Becky three days ago enables Crystal to escape from the body and follow him in her own image for a long time, so as long as she thinks of this Raymond was grateful to the old dean Seurat who taught the skills.
If it weren't for the old dean Seurat who taught this technique, Crystal, who has a pure spiritual body, would not be able to appear by his side normally. Although there are still big problems in the communication between the two parties, it can Feeling her dependence and trust is a kind of happiness for Raymond.
Of course, if there was no such troublesome and annoying light bulb as Becky, I think I would be more satisfied...
Thinking of this, he looked down at Crystal beside him, and felt the gentle and quiet eyes of Raymond, who felt her hands tightly holding his arms. Although he understood that time was a bit tight at this time, the reason why he was unwilling to speed up was Because of Crystal.
Because Crystal, who knew nothing about the outside world and was like a blank sheet of paper, was no longer willing to stay in it after being able to leave the body for a long time. Even if the number of sand crystals consumed increased, the single-eyed sand Saliman is a little hard-working. But it made her gradually become cheerful and easy to get along with.
Thinking of this, Raymond couldn't help but turn his eyes to the girl Becky lying on the table, but he felt a little depressed in his heart, because now he could only have more complicated communication with Crystal through the girl Becky. And this hateful guy actually used this method to threaten himself, forcing him to make a lot of compromises!
But just when Raymond thought of this, he noticed that there was a faint layer of fluorescence on the face of the girl Becky, and her expression seemed a little wrong, but just when he followed the direction of the girl Becky's gaze and wanted to turn his face away At that moment, screams full of fear and horror came from the direction of the stage!
He had already fallen into the carnival tavern, and suddenly fell silent because of the thick and high-pitched screams. And the woman who was running quickly through the tavern with a dinner plate in one hand stumbled and slammed the dinner plate into an old man's face, and she threw herself into the arms of a strong man. !
But not only was the old man with a face full of soup not angry, but even the strong man was not surprised that the woman threw herself into his arms. Because everyone in the tavern had their eyes fixed on the stage, some even covered their mouths for fear of screaming!
Because the shopkeeper, Old Mike, who had rested his chin on the table before, jumped up while screaming, his muscles all over his body squirming and swelling. In an instant, he seemed to have gone crazy and turned into a majestic man over three meters tall!
But his face was twisted and the corners of his mouth were still twitching. There was only fear and horror in the pupils protruding from the eye sockets. There was a layer of earthy yellow light on the clenched fist, which was obviously in a state of imminent attack!
The originally fiery and fanatical atmosphere became stagnant and dull, and the only sounds left in the entire tavern were the sound of breathing and the exclamations that were held back in the throat.
But before Old Mike could break out, the crisp and sweet laughter sounded in vain from Raymond's side, and infected Crystal, who had just hugged her arms tighter, out of control, causing her to also burst into laughter. The sound of giggling!
Realizing that this was the fault of the girl Becky, Raymond turned around and growled at her. "What did you do! Can't you have something to eat?"
The frightened girl Becky's little face turned bitter. The layer of fluorescence that had previously covered her face was also lifted by her, and she muttered with some dissatisfaction. "I'm bored..."
The extremely annoyed Raymond was about to get angry. But Crystal, who was holding his left arm, pulled him. After Raymond turned around, Crystal looked pleading, obviously pleading for the girl Becky!
Raymond, who couldn't continue to be angry, couldn't help but sigh with a wry smile. "I don't know how you were deceived by Becky. Every time something happens, you come to plead for her. Why can't she live in peace..."
The low-pitched conversation in the corner broke the dull atmosphere in the tavern, and the tavern owner Old Mike, who had clenched his fists and had gone crazy, regained clarity in his red eyes.
When he noticed something strange about himself, he also saw the looks of awe, horror, or horror from all around him. While feeling great regret, he also understood what he had seen before. Everything was just an illusion, so he slapped the table bell on the stage and roared angrily at the stunned drinkers in the tavern. "Get out! Get out of here! I didn't see that the business hours are over!"
The roar like thunder quickly caused chaos in the tavern!
Whether they were shocked by the strength revealed by Old Mike after he went berserk, or they woke up because of the words "business hours are over", or they finally woke up after being stunned and felt ashamed and humiliated, they all stood up or rushed to the door, or rushed against the flow of people to the stage to make trouble for Old Mike, so all kinds of noises began to appear in the pub.
The table turned over, the chairs fell, the wine bottles were smashed, the wine glasses and tableware fell to the ground, the women were groped and shouted in shame, and several cooks came from the kitchen with kitchen knives and sticks ready to help, the drunkards roared at Old Mike, and the shouts of those who fell to the ground and wanted to get up, making the atmosphere in the whole pub noisy but very funny!
Crystal's eyes were filled with joy as she giggled. Becky, the girl lying on the table with her mouth getting bigger and bigger and her face a little surprised, and Shariman, the one-eyed sandman who was scratching his head and didn't know what happened, all made Raymond, who was standing in the corner, speechless and even more headache!
However, this chaotic state was quickly calmed down after Old Mike jumped out from behind the stage, because the breath he released was not only fierce, but also had a strong deterrent power. And when the chefs who ran out of the kitchen also turned into giants more than two meters tall, the noise and quarrels in the tavern disappeared.
Of course, Raymond, who was standing behind the small table in the corner, believed that it was Old Mike's last roar with clear pronunciation that was the reason for the possible conflict to be nipped in the bud.
"Everyone is free today! If you want to pay, come to me!"
After the first half of the sentence was shouted, the previously noisy tavern became so noisy that you could hear a pin drop. After the second half of the sentence was shouted by Old Mike, except for the two women who had already hidden in the corner, Old Mike standing in front of the stage and the cooks behind him, the remaining drinkers rushed to the door. Within a dozen breaths, there was no drinker in the entire tavern except Raymond and others sitting in the corner!
Facing the empty, quiet but messy tavern in front of them, the dull and awkward atmosphere became more and more intense.
Sharriman, the one-eyed sandman who had never understood what happened in the tavern before, finally realized that something was wrong because of the stagnant atmosphere. He stood up and looked at Old Mike standing in front of the stage and the crazy cooks behind him with a puzzled look.
And Crystal, who was still laughing before, now hugged Raymond's arm tighter as if she was afraid, and scanned everyone in the tavern with a confused look.
Becky, the girl lying on the table, buried her face in her arms under Raymond's angry gaze, and then turned into smoke and slipped back to the picture of the girl by the stream, leaving the disguise that looked like a complete human skin inside the cloak... (To be continued...)
