Chapter 5 Promise Under the Clouds

I ended up buying a new tachi.

It's not that I intentionally wanted to abandon this sword that has been with me through thick and thin. There is really a reason.

After I was sure that I couldn't find a tinker who was willing to help me repair this tachi, I decided to discuss it with a weapons dealer and recast the tachi in a furnace.

Although it has changed its original form, it is still not the same piece of iron.

Unexpectedly, he was rejected by the weapons dealer.

I thought he might make money from casting because it was not as fast as selling a weapon, but after consulting more than a dozen weapon shops, I finally got a unified and confident answer - this weapon is made of scrap iron. It's made from the residue. It's already a miracle that you can use it until now and it hasn't broken.

After thinking about it again and again, I still had tears in my eyes and sold this dilapidated sword made from scrap iron residue that had been with me for a long time to the old man who collected scraps on the street.

Due to my persistence, the old man paid me two copper coins with great sorrow. For this, he almost suffered a heart attack.

Four silver coins eventually turned into two copper coins, a painful lesson.

Carrying the sharp sword that I spent thirty silver coins on my back and the remaining eighty-two silver coins and four copper coins, I stepped into the cafe.

I shuddered as a tit-for-tat breath rushed towards me.

Phoenix puffed out a pair of pink cheeks, wrinkled his little nose, stared at the opposite person angrily, as if trying to intimidate the other person with his momentum.

On the other side, Catwoman Barbara grinned and bared her sharp white teeth, pretending to be fierce, like an angry kitten.

Not far away, at the bar, the landlady was watching the two girls competing with interest. When she saw me standing at the door, she gave me a playful look.

Then, she shouted loudly and loudly: "An Xiaoyi is here, what do you want?"

Although I lowered my head, I could still clearly feel four sharp gazes shining on me, like four powerful Turtle Style Qigong, which was enough to blast me into pieces in an instant.

For the safety of my life, I planned to sneak away, but in an instant, both hands were firmly grasped. When I looked up, I saw an angry Phoenix on the left and Barbara on the right. .

"Today...the moon...is so round!"

I tried to change the topic and raised my head, only to realize that it was cloudy tonight.

I was forcibly dragged into the store and pressed on a chair, like a frightened rabbit, instinctively guarding against the attack of two red wolves, one on the left and one on the right.

"I said...what would you like to drink?" I carefully observed my words: "I'm treating you today..."

"A glass of Iri wine and a piece of prime Iberico steak!"

Barbara slapped the table angrily, but her cat eyes kept staring at me fiercely.

"A large glass of Ai Rui wine and a large piece of prime black steak!"

Fenghuang followed suit and didn't forget to add a big "character" in front of it, which made the surrounding diners chuckle.

Although this is a cafe, it does not just sell coffee. Since the proprietress has a wide network of contacts, she has stocks of ingredients no matter how hard to get. Moreover, the proprietress's cooking skills are also very good, so she is very popular among diners.

Adventurers, guild leaders, and even heads of big families all come to taste the delicious style of the landlady from time to time.

Because of this, many expensive dishes that can only be sold in famous restaurants are also sold here.

Ai Rui wine has a firm foothold in the famous wine list of Zefeng Continent. The price of a glass of Ai Rui wine is about one gold coin.

Kuroge Steak is also one of the top ten delicacies recognized in the Japanese continent. A good piece of Kuroge Steak also requires a gold coin.

The currency weights and measures of Zefeng Continent are calculated like this: one silver coin can be exchanged for one hundred copper coins, one gold coin can be exchanged for one hundred silver coins, and the value of one copper coin is approximately equivalent to one dollar on earth.

In other words, I need to spend 40,000 yuan to pay for these two chicks who are vindictive for some unknown reason.

This is just the beginning, God knows what other troubles these two chicks will cause.

When the Ai Rui wine and the premium Kurobuta steak were brought to the table, I understood the look in the boss's wife's eyes - I don't care how you make trouble, if Barbara is a little wronged, you'll be the one to look after her!

Finally, she stretched out her strong arms, which were as thick as my calves, and showed off the bulging muscles on her arms.

I shivered, my face was smiling, but my heart was bleeding.

Barbara drank half a glass of Ai Rui wine in one breath and burped. Her little face instantly turned red and her drunkenness surged up. She slapped her hand on the table and shouted loudly: "Say, you follow What’s her relationship?”

This look makes him look like a tomboy.

I smiled bitterly and said, "We explored the dungeon together. She is my important partner."

"It's important..." Barbara said to me angrily: "Am I not important?"

"It's important, it's important." I smiled hurriedly and followed Balala's words.

As a result, on the other side, a milky white hand also slapped the table hard.

I turned my head, Phoenix was drunk, her little face was red, her little mouth that always had an innocent smile turned into an omega shape, her big eyes turned into crescent moons, and she yelled at me with resentment. Said: "Partner! You actually think of me as a partner, and we all slept together. Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh..."

I hurriedly covered Fenghuang's mouth with my hands to stop what she was going to say next. God knows how this drunk girl could be so shameless and not offline. .

I wanted to explain it to the diners here, but before I turned around, I felt countless dazzling eyes gathering behind me. Some supported me, some envied me, some were jealous of me, and some hated me. . What's more, it's a metaphor that can be expressed in two words - beast.

I instantly had the urge to cry.

Beast. . If I had really done something, I would admit it, but. . I didn't do anything.

I am simply worse than a beast!

I lowered my hand to stop Phoenix, with an idiot-like expression on my face, and I collapsed.

You can say whatever you like. I admit it. If it doesn’t work, I will sell myself to marry you two!

Next, it's time for the two drunk girls to vent their words.

As a spinster with a combined age of thirty-three in two lifetimes, I couldn't understand what these two girls meant.

It's just that I don't have money, I don't have enough status, I don't have a high level, so why should I get the love of two beautiful and outstanding girls?

And there is a very dangerous hidden danger. .

I looked at my left arm. Wrapped in layers of gauze, there were those heart-stopping black patterns. God knows when this thing would suddenly erupt, destroying me and everything I loved.

Before I figure out what's going on with my left arm, I won't accept anyone's love casually.

I am not a child, and I cannot do anything reckless or irresponsible.

Although, I have always longed for love.

I sighed softly, a touch of loneliness fleeting on my face, and the good-guy idiot smile hung on my face again, nodding my head for no reason while dealing with the resentment of the two girls.

The farce finally ended when the two girls fell down on the table and fell asleep.

The diners who were full of wine and food all finished watching the excitement and left the cafe laughing and joking.

There were only the boss lady, the lovely maids who were busy cleaning, and two angelic and lovely girls sleeping on the table, one on the left and one on the right.

After cleaning up the messy table left by the diners, the proprietress let the maids off early.

After closing the door, the landlady sat across from me, stroking Barbara's short red hair lovingly, and said as if talking to herself: "Barbara has been an orphan since she was a child. Her parents died in the underground city. Don't look at it." She laughs and laughs out of tune every day, but in fact, her heart longs for love more than anyone else."

"I can feel that this child likes you very much, but I want to know what you think."

The landlady looked at me as if she could see through everyone else's eyes, leaving me with nothing to hide.

Sighing, I said what was on my mind: "Yes, I like her very much too."

"What about this girl?" The landlady pointed at Phoenix.

"I like her equally as much as Barbara."

The landlady seemed dissatisfied with this answer. She said, "Love is exclusive and selfish. It's not good for you to be like this. If you had to choose one, who would you choose?"

"So which one do you prefer, left hand or right hand?" I replied slyly.

The landlady was startled at first, and then laughed loudly: "You are such a cunning little guy."

I was laughing too, but it was a bit bitter.

"Okay, I don't care about your affairs, but again, if you make Barbara sad, I won't let you go!"

As she spoke, she showed her strong arms again.

"I'll take care of it" I smiled.

If only I could break the curse on my left arm.

I said to myself silently in my heart.

Fenghuang, smelling of alcohol, was lying on Xiaozhi's back. Her body was covered with my coat, and she shrank her whole body in like a kitten.

I walked in front, and Xiaozhi followed behind me.

The three of us formed a very wonderful scene, just like a knight exploring the road in front, followed by a noble princess sleeping soundly on her pet.

Why does this scene look a bit like Sleeping Beauty in a carriage?

I slowed down my pace and walked side by side with Xiaozhi. I turned my head and looked at the heart-beating Keren'er. I reached out my hand and gently touched her soft white cheek.

A small hand suddenly stretched out, grabbed my hand, and murmured: "Don't go, don't go, don't leave me..."

I smiled slightly and was about to say something.

"Master..."

My body suddenly stiffened, and I stopped. Xiaozhi immediately surpassed me. Seeing that I didn't move forward, it cautiously stepped back, staring at a pair of big red lantern-like eyes, looking at it with a stern look. Holding me.

"Master..." I repeated quietly, feeling a slight sadness in my heart. How could the person who could make a girl care about her like this be such a simple master and apprentice? . What is the relationship between this person and Phoenix? friend? Brother and sister? Or. . Couple?

Looking at the night sky, I let out a long sigh.

Shaking my head violently to dispel the unrealistic guesses, I smiled bitterly. Now, I am not qualified to think about those things.

He tried to pull his hand away, only to find that Phoenix was holding on tightly.

In desperation, I also climbed on Xiaozhi's back, and then I realized that sitting on Xiaozhi's back was so comfortable.

The slightly concave top of the back is just right for a person to lie comfortably on. The dissipated residual heat is constantly rising under the shell, making it very warm and comfortable, like a warm big bed.

I deeply doubt whether the God of Creation considered them as comfortable mounts when he created this species.

"If I knock left, you go left. If I knock right, you go right. You hear a squeak."

squeak.

I held Fenghuang's soft body in my arms, with my coat still covering her body as a quilt. I held her delicate shoulders with my right hand, and directed Xiao Zhi towards home with my left hand.

Xiao Zhi, who was carrying two people and a bag of materials at the same time, did not feel any difficulty. It could even lift its two strongest hind legs and exercise its four weaker forelimbs.

"Xiao Zhi, is there a female beetle you like?" I asked casually.

squeak.

Hearing its response, I smiled and continued: "Then have you ever pursued her?"

squeak.

"How's it going? Was it successful?"

squeak. .

Xiao Zhi's voice became low and lonely.

I patted its tentacles sympathetically and asked, "Is it because it doesn't like you?"

squeak!

I suddenly thought of a bad guess, paused, and said it anyway: "She won't be killed by us..."

Squeak, squeak!

Listening to the rapid squeaking sound, I felt relieved and continued: "That was... taken away by other strong beetle monsters?"

squeak. .

Xiaozhi's voice became negative again.

"That's right." I laughed.

Xiao Zhi squeaked dissatisfiedly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I shouldn't laugh at you." I gently patted Xiao Zhi's tentacles to comfort Xiao Zhi, and my heart calmed down, and the sadness just now disappeared with the laughter.

"Shall we make a pact?"

Xiao Zhi looked at me doubtfully: Zhi?

Let us work together to become stronger until we take back everything that belongs to us!

squeak!

Xiaozhi responded firmly.

One person and one insect, under the dark clouds, made an agreement with each other.
