Chapter 3527 Buying Wine

I can't understand at all, what's wrong with Xi Lan being uninjured? Does it have to be a good thing to come back injured?

Sensing my confusion about this matter, Heloise frowned and said, "It's not about the scarcity but the inequality."

"I understand this." I nodded and said, "But doesn't it refer to fundamental interests? What does it have to do with whether you are injured or not?"

"Other adventurers in the Oathkeeper organization will be injured because they are not as skilled as others. Xi Lan will not be injured because he is strong and has rich combat experience. What does this have to do with being outnumbered and uneven? "

"You don't understand what I mean," Heloise said: "If it were the previous war, it would be because of inferior skills. After all, there are only one type of monsters. Everyone has already had experience. If they are injured and lose, they can only admit that they are unlucky. , but this time is different, a new monster came, and faced with the sudden new monster, everyone else was injured, but he was not injured, this gap, do you understand?"

“I understand a little bit,” I said, “But again, Xi Lan’s strength is much stronger than them, so it’s normal not to get hurt.”

"But what do you want other injured adventurers to think and think?" Heloise asked back: "Others will not regard him as a powerful hero or a role model, but will treat him as an alien."

Hearing this, I suddenly thought of a story.

There was a wizard who put a potion that could make people into fools into the only well in a certain country.

Except for the king, all the citizens drank from the well and became fools.

The citizens who became fools did not feel lucky because their king still retained a wise mind. On the contrary, they were confused because the king behaved and thought differently from them.

Over time, confusion turned into rejection.

One day, this rejection reached its peak, and the people decided to overthrow the king's rule and establish a new king.

In order to keep his position, the king personally drank a bowl of water from the well in front of all the people.

From then on, the king also became a fool, but he was once again accepted and loved by his people.

In this way, Xi Lan is the same.

Even though he was not injured, in the eyes of many injured adventurers from the Oath Keepers organization, he was an alien and was not accepted by the group.

"However, you just said that he was invited to attend the memorial service. Isn't this also a situation of acceptance?"

"It's not so much because he was accepted, but because he is better at drinking. In that kind of occasion, someone who is good at drinking is needed to accompany him."

The dignified Xilan actually became a drinking companion, but this seemed to be a good thing for him.

After all, he is good at drinking, so it is a blessing to find a space that allows him to display his talents.

At midnight, back at the hotel, Salem was lying on the sofa drinking.

"Hiccup, you're back." Selun opened his mouth and waved to me.

"You're back," I said, "I remember you don't usually drink strong alcohol."

"I'm usually in a good mood," Seren said.

"In other words, you are in a bad mood right now?"

"Yeah, it's bad."

Seren nodded and admitted.

"What's going on?" I asked curiously, "Did someone bully you?"

"It's not just bullying." A sharp light flashed in Seren's golden eyes: "It's just sitting on my head and shitting!"

Me: (O_o)??

After taking a sip of wine, Salem continued: "Do you know how many warriors the Dragon Tribe lost this time?"

I shook my head: "I don't know."

"More than a hundred!" Salem roared: "More than a hundred! Just a group of stupid giant-like monsters can make the dragon tribe lose more than a hundred elite warriors! What a shame! What a shame! Bullying the dragon It’s too much! It’s too much to bully a dragon!”

I understand the shame and humiliation. It's normal to lose, but what's the point of bullying a dragon too much?

Victory or defeat is a common thing for a soldier, not to mention that the death of a dragon warrior is not really a physical death, but will be resurrected in the land of the dragon.

Over time, no dragon in the dragon tribe has ever been truly damaged.

If this is the case, it can be regarded as being ridden on the head to shit, then how should the demon world behave?

Thinking of this, I ignored Seren and went straight to the bedside, plopped down, stretched my waist, said something comfortable, and planned to close my eyes and sleep.

Just as I was feeling sleepy, Seren's voice rang in my ears: "Hey, get up, kid, drink with me!"

Feeling slightly awake, I frowned, without opening my eyes, and responded lazily: "Xiao Zhi is in Zephyr Continent."

"I'm talking about you! You guy!" Salem slapped me on the head with his paw.

"Hey, I'm so annoyed." I sighed, opened my eyes, stared at him, and said, "What's wrong with you? Why are you so abnormal today?"

"How can I survive being ridden by a monster and shitting on my neck!" He said angrily: "Since I can't find someone to take revenge on, I can only drown my sorrows in wine. You drink with me!"

Judging from his serious and threatening expression, I guess he wouldn't let me sleep peacefully if I didn't drink with him today.

With a sigh, I climbed up. Just as I was about to take the wine from Seren's hand, he slapped my hand open and said, "The wine is almost gone. Go buy some more."

"Okay, okay," I responded feebly, put on my coat, and went out.

The bar was crowded, but there was very little sound.

Many drunk adventurers just lay down on the table and fell asleep.

Those adventurers who were awake poured one glass after another of wine into their mouths. They were either drunk and talking nonsense, or they were still sober but kept drinking as if they were drunk.

From their faces, I saw sadness.

I see no luster in their eyes.

Just one blow made them depressed to this point. If the invaders send more powerful monsters, how low will the will of this group of adventurers be?

I curled my lips, went to the bar, called the waiter, and expressed my idea of ​​buying a drink, but the waiter refused.

"It shouldn't be forbidden to sell bars here?" I asked in a low voice.

"That's right, sir," the waiter said helplessly, "We originally didn't prohibit takeout of alcohol here, but you saw what happened today."

He didn't say any more, because at this time, another adventurer shouted: "Ten more bottles of wine!"

I reluctantly quit the bar and went to a shop that sells drinks. Unexpectedly, the shop owner said that today's drinks have been fully booked by the bar. If I want to buy drinks, I can only wait for the next batch of drinks to be delivered.

I had no choice but to leave again.

In this way, one store after another, until the first. I don’t remember how many stores there were, I finally bought wine.

In order to prevent Seren from asking me to buy some wine later when I finished drinking, I directly bought the few remaining boxes of various drinks and took them away together.
