Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 245: Drink
"What a clever disguise. It doesn't look like bionic skin, it should be some kind of alchemy..."
Su Lun glanced at the mustache Katyusha was pretending to be and thought about it in his mind.
Her disguise was naturally very clever since she was not seen through by these pirates.
However, Su Lun was indeed curious as to why a young lady from a noble family came to the pirate tavern.
Want to play adventure and hunting games?
He looked at the mustache sitting at the bar. Although he looked like a pirate, it was probably his first time here, so his demeanor looked slightly unnatural. She asked the bartender for a glass of wine, sat there and drank.
No one else saw her face, which was hidden by the wine glass, and her lips and teeth moved slightly, as if she was talking to the air.
.......
Su Lun had a good impression of this girl, but she didn't look at her more.
If this young lady dares to come, she is probably protected by an expert, so she doesn’t need to worry about it as an outsider. .
After all, it is the Fengyue Tavern frequented by pirates, and the atmosphere of astringent love and psychedelic drugs is everywhere. The waiters in the tavern are all tall and beautiful girls. They wear hot pants and suspender bras and don't hesitate to show off their figures as they shuttle through the tavern. Occasionally, some sloppy pirates would tear off their clothes, causing laughter. The drinkers also seem to like this kind of impromptu show, and they are not stingy with tips, and everyone is happy; the girls on the stage dance enchantingly, and their clothes gradually fade away; there are scenes everywhere that stimulate the secretion of human hormones...
Here, pirates can enjoy the ultimate fun by spending money.
Before the news from the intelligence dealer came, Su Lun continued to wait patiently.
As time went by, the number of guests in this underground tavern gradually increased.
Some came down from upstairs, and some came in from the secret passage. They all seemed to be respectable pirates. After many people came in, most of them could greet each other.
"Hey! Captain Martin, I recently heard that your "Blue Lions" hijacked a gem merchant's ship and made a fortune?"
"Hahaha...it's all hard money, and several brothers died. Where can you 'Three-headed Eels' make money? I heard that you kidnapped a baron and asked for a ransom of 500 million?"
"Hey, isn't this Captain Ferdinand? I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard that you went to the south. The slave owners who set up plantations are all very wealthy. How was the harvest..."
"..."
Although Su Lun knew that this tavern was expensive, the people who came here were not unknown people. But I never thought that so many "captain-level" pirates would come.
While drinking, he sighed casually: "Oh, it seems like there are a lot of big shots here today."
Hearing this, the girl next to him who was rubbing his shoulders also smiled flatteringly: "Because today is Saturday, the captains' party day."
Su Lun then understood that there was such a saying.
He calmly added: "Oh, I almost forgot. No wonder I saw so many familiar guys."
The pirates who came to the tavern didn't just drink. They chatted and then started a card game. The amount of money was very large, and the gambling was in full swing.
.......
Su Lun silently watched and observed this guy in the corner.
But as he watched, he actually saw another acquaintance!
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a suit and a round hat walked in. His image is very recognizable, with a crow on his shoulder and a prosthetic eye like a cataract in his right eye. His whole person exudes a dangerous and evil aura.
Su Lun immediately recognized this guy and was a little surprised: "Isn't this Gwembo Mari, the boss of the Crow Gang in the outer city of Old Town, "Crow Godfather"? He came out too? ”
Furthermore, after feeling the soul fire, it seemed that he had also advanced to the fourth level.
Obviously, many people in the tavern were not familiar with this guy from Old Town. Some were curious and started whispering.
"Who is that guy?"
"The new guy who appeared recently, nicknamed "Crow", came out of nowhere and suddenly became famous. I heard that this guy has recently annexed several small pirate groups, and his power is expanding very quickly..."
“A newcomer who just went to sea can do so much, what level is he?”
"It is said to be the fourth level."
"Is the fourth level so crazy?"
"Don't underestimate this guy. I heard that he is a curse warlock with very evil methods and abilities. Arkad of the 'Vulture Group' fell into his hands. A few days ago, I heard that they also robbed A Lu Ying warship..."
"...."
Su Lun listened to these whispers thoughtfully.
It is normal for professionals from Jiulindun to be stronger than their peers in the outside world, let alone this former gangster from the outer city.
Can...a new pirate?
Su Lun tasted this title.
The situation in Old Lingdun makes it impossible to go to sea. When Mr. Youjing led them out of the city, he took a huge risk, and it was even less possible for others.
Obviously, this Wen Gebu was probably recruited by the "King of the North Sea".
He sensed it for a moment and muttered in his heart: "But then again, this guy is really strong."
Very few people in Old Town have seen Wengebu take action, and not many outsiders know much about his abilities.
Now that the soul was aware, Su Lun also discovered that the crow on the guy's shoulder was very strange.
At this time, just as Wen Gebu was walking towards the wine table, a pirate captain also brought a red-billed parrot.
People would gossip behind their backs, but that stupid bird was probably used to being among the pirates. He looked at the crow and mocked in a human tone: "Where did you come from, you idiot... Where did you come from?" Silly hater..."
Wengerbu ignored it and sat down, but the crow on his shoulder tilted his head and looked over, with a red light in his eyes. Just by looking at it, the red-billed parrot froze there as if it was electrocuted, and then fell to the ground with a "dong".
With this strange trick of "crows killing birds", the huge tavern fell silent instantly.
Su Lun, who was not far away, looked at this scene, narrowed his eyes slightly, and thought in his mind: "Is it similar to the soul curse technique of [Death Gaze]..."
After a while, the tavern became lively again.
No one cared about a dead parrot, and the owner of the silly bird didn't dare to say anything.
Wengerbu seemed to be here to recruit partners. This is how the pirate circle is. A capable person will never lack followers. As soon as he showed his skills, people immediately came forward to get familiar with him.
......
There were more and more people in the tavern. After a while, the underground tavern was filled with people everywhere.
Su Lun's eyes fell on the bar from time to time, looking at the awkward look on the "moustache"'s face, and smiled slightly in his heart.
No matter how much she disguises herself, the little girl can't look like the rough and arrogant man. Although Katyusha is dressed in men's clothing, he also has a handsome mustache.
She was drinking. At this moment, a female pirate about two and a half meters tall and wearing a horn helmet came in and sat down next to her.
The clothes on this female pirate looked like they were wrapped in a sack, and the muscles of her exposed arms were as knotted as elephant legs, and she was visibly strong to the naked eye.
This is a Viking.
Vikings were born warriors. They could swim in cold seawater before they learned to walk. Riding monsters, weightlifting, wrestling, rowing, sailing... these are essential survival skills they have developed since childhood. They are natural warriors and very warlike.
But there is no loyalty at all. If you have interests, you will sacrifice your life.
So even though Oleg is known as the "King of the North Sea", the Vikings do not all obey his orders.
Pirates and mercenaries are where they belong.
Perhaps thinking that Katyusha was a handsome man, the female pirate roughly put her arm around her shoulders and raised the wine glass as big as her head: "Hey, handsome man, would you like to have a drink?"
Katyusha was so frightened by this barbaric approach that she unconsciously looked back at Su Lun in the cubicle.
Su Lun pretended not to recognize him and drank by himself. The clown mask he wears is the same as when he met before, so it's not difficult to recognize him.
Seeing "Mustache"'s uneasy look, the female Viking pirate became even more enthusiastic.
Katyusha finally couldn't help it and quickly broke away from the female pirate's arm. She squeezed through the crowd and came to Su Lun's booth, asking for help: "Mr. Nicholas, can I sit here?"
Hearing this, Su Lun pretended to be cautious: "Who is your Excellency?"
Katyusha looked at the two girls beside him, and without speaking directly, pointed to the [Star Amulet] on Su Lun's waist.
Su Lun pretended to think for a moment, then signaled to the two girls that they could leave.
As soon as the two left, Katyusha patted her chest and let out a sigh of relief: "I was scared to death~"
This voice suddenly changed back to a delicate female voice.
Su Lun had a belated expression on his face and said in surprise: "Are you...Miss Katyusha?"
"Yeah."
Katyusha looked around and saw that no one was looking at her, so she made a face-breaking gesture.
Su Lun looked at the alchemist skin and tore it off. Sure enough, it was the girl with the freckles on her face.
"Good stuff..."
Su Lun appraised the face and admired it in his heart. Being able to hide it from his senses, the materials and refining techniques of this cheek are quite clever. It's a pity that it is disposable and will become rotten if you tear it off.
Tsk tsk~Those with deep pockets are rich.
Seeing Katyusha reveal her true face, Su Lun also gave up his seat and motioned for her to sit down.
The girl had a scared expression on her face and hid beside Su Lun, leaning against the wall.
Su Lun asked curiously: "Why did you come to a place like this?"
"I...I ran out secretly."
Katyusha stuck out her tongue, and a blush appeared on her face. She seemed a little embarrassed: "I have never been to a tavern, so I just wanted to come and have a look. I wanted to pick a tavern and check it out. Astrology told me Me, it's interesting here. And then...and then I came."
After a pause, she glanced at the burly female pirate again from the corner of her eye, and shrank her head: "Sorry for causing you trouble."
The story sounds like there is nothing wrong with it, and the logic is rigorous. It is just a story about a noble lady who was curious about the lower world and wanted to come out and have a look.
This is basically what fairy tales say.
Astrology can indeed explain some inexplicable coincidences.
Although Su Lun felt something was wrong, he didn't ask in detail.
There is no malice, it has nothing to do with him.
He looked at the frightened girl and said, "Now that I have seen it, do you want me to take you out of the tavern?"
Katyusha blinked, her watery eyes full of novelty, and she said in a pleading tone: "Mr. Nicholas, I...can I stay a little longer? The stories from the pirates' mouths, It’s all very interesting.”
After a pause, she immediately added: "If you find it troublesome, please take me out."
The words sounded like a well-educated young lady, and she did not embarrass anyone at all.
Su Lun couldn't refuse after hearing this, shrugged and said: "It's up to you."
"Thank you, Mr. Nicholas, I won't cause you any trouble!"
Katyusha received the permission, couldn't hide the joy on her face, and sat there obediently.
The noble lady has probably never seen a low-level pirate, nor has she ever been to a tavern where pirates hang out.
With Su Lun covering her face, she looked like a little thief who was covering her ears and stealing the bell. She glanced restlessly and glanced around.
However, the pirate tavern is all about pure and explicit desires, pornography, gambling, and drugs are all here.
The pirates at the gambling table were gambling lively, the psychedelic drugs in the air also excited the blood, and the strippers were dancing enthusiastically...
I don’t know how the little girl felt after seeing it.
Su Lun glanced at Katyusha who was pretending to be calm, shook his head slightly, and drank by himself.
No one spoke, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.
But after sitting there for a while, Su Lun realized that this was really a familiar girl.
It was as if there was an acquaintance suddenly, and there was no need to worry. Katyusha immediately became familiar with her.
"Mr. Nicholas, are you a pirate?"
"No."
"Oh~ Then I'll treat you to a drink."
"Forget it, let me treat you."
"Ah...thank you so much."
"Mr. Nicholas, why do you always wear a mask when drinking?"
"Get used to it."
"Ah! Did... did I disturb you? How about calling those two... two... back?"
"..."
"Those pirates are really wanted criminals. I've only seen them on the gallows before. Oh my god, I didn't expect there are so many here..."
"..."
The two started chatting without saying a word.
Aristocratic ladies who are used to elegant drinking with goblets are not used to big beer mugs like pirates, but they are also very novel. Katyusha watched the pirates at the next table gulping down their drinks, and she also learned to drink with such arrogance. As a result, after just a few drinks, the girl's face was flushed and she looked half-drunk, and she also spoke with a bit of a tongue. The more he drank, the more energetic he became.
"Mr. Su Lun, do we want to toast? I think they all drank it up..."
"If you can't drink, drink less."
"I can do it, um...burp~ Come on, do it!"
"..."
Su Lun looked a little helpless, but he had to wait for information and couldn't leave now.
Fortunately, before long, the man with the crested head came and brought the information Su Lun needed.
.......
Su Lun walked out of the Sailor Tavern, carrying a limp Katyusha on his shoulders who was talking drunkenly.
It was still noon when he went in, but when he came out, it was already dark and snowflakes were falling in the sky.
After leaving the tavern, Su Lun also discovered the guard lurking in the dark.
The stealth method is very clever, and ordinary senses cannot detect it at all.
Su Lun pretended not to notice, carried the drunken lady on his shoulders, and called a carriage.
Not long after, the carriage stopped in front of the Star Hotel in Beicheng.
As soon as Su Lun got out of the car, he looked at an old housekeeper who was waiting anxiously.
As soon as he saw them getting off the carriage, he recognized the person and immediately came over to greet them, "Oh! Miss, where have you been?"
Hearing the call, Katyusha seemed to have sobered up a little. Then she opened her eyelids with difficulty and recognized the person in front of her, "Butler Herbert...I'm going to drink... Burp~"
After Su Lun delivered the person, he said to the housekeeper: "The person has been delivered, I'll leave first."
Butler: "Thank you very much, sir."
"No need. She helped me too."
Su Lun didn't stay long and turned around to leave.
.......
Su Lun returned to the hotel he rented.
He thought a lot along the way.
I kept recalling the entire process of meeting Katyusha today in my mind.
But no matter how I thought about it, I didn’t feel anything strange.
Like a perfect stage play, a noble lady is curious about the world of common people, pays a private visit incognito, and meets a kind passerby?
It’s because this encounter was so perfect that it felt unreal and something was missing.
Su Lun also assumed that Katyusha was here for him.
So, what is her motivation?
"Is it astrology? Or are you really overthinking it?"
Su Lun finally came to this conclusion.
At this time, he happened to have arrived at the door of the hotel.
Tuk! Benedict! Benedict!
Knocked on the door.
Jike opened the door respectfully, "Teacher, are you back?"
Su Lun nodded and said to him: "I'm next door, if you need anything, call me."
After explaining, he went next door.
The intelligence just obtained shows that the group of demi-humans from the Sun Slave Chamber of Commerce will be transported away in three days. Everything about the **** team is normal, a regular **** team and some adventurers.
Su Lun notified Yuta of the news and planned to help intercept these Daru tribesmen when the time comes.
Using these two days, he can get some high-level puppets and rune threads.
PS. Sorry, it’s a bit sluggish and a bit watery.
