In the tavern, the troubadour's bobo piano was still playing merrily, and the other guests at the table were raising their glasses.

In this cheerful atmosphere, the somber expression of the old Cherki at the bar seemed out of place with his surroundings.

Gollum!

The old man raised his glass and poured most of the bitter liquor into his throat in one gulp, and with the help of bitter algae, his trembling hands finally showed signs of calming down.

"Everybody says I'm a liar! Lie Spirit... But I'm not lying! To this day, that damn, horrible face still appears in my dreams a lot......"

Cherki said this, and then turned his head to look at Xue Hua.

"Do you want to keep listening? Hey ......"

"Of course, if you are willing to speak, I will be willing to listen." Xue Hua naturally nodded without hesitation, after all, he came here to collect intelligence, and the story that Cherky just told, whether true or not, was a good start.

"Aha, as the saying goes, there are a bunch of stories, if you don't get drunk, you won't return, if you want to listen, then I'll continue to tell, bartender! Fill us with more wine! I can't say a whole sentence without wine......"

The bartender walked over, glanced at Xue Hua with strange eyes, and then refilled the two of their wine glasses with a wine jug.

"Good young man......" Cherky couldn't wait to grab the wine glass, take a big sip, and then continue to tell Xue Hua about another strange thing he had experienced with a mouth full of wine.

"This incident has been much shorter than the previous one, and I can still remember that a cult that worshiped demons suddenly appeared on this side of the harbor......

The old men of the aristocratic district could not tolerate this, and they sent an army of professionals with helmets and armor to make a big fuss near the harbor.

At that time, many people were arrested, and some of them were directly cut off on the spot, and the entire port area was in a bloody storm, and many captains of sea-hunting ships either went to sea in a hurry, or hid in other countries to take refuge. ”

Cherky had a look of nostalgia in his eyes, as if he was recalling the scene of the turmoil at the port docks at that time.

"Who knows if the guys who were caught or killed were cult members or not? Anyway, even if they die, no one will avenge them, we are all untouchables, you know? A pariah is... Rotten life, kill if you want to kill ......"

The old man seemed to have drunk a little too much, and there was a bit of cynicism in his words.

Luckily, this is the port area of King's Port, and even the port patrol team that represents the nobles of the aristocratic district here will not run to the Snake Bay Tavern in the middle of the night to have fun.

"Anyway, the incident that happened to me was what happened at that time......"

Cherki took a sip of his wine and was silent for a while, as if he was organizing the language, as if he was recalling something.

After a while, he continued to speak: "It was too chaotic outside in those days, and I didn't dare to go out casually early in the morning, for fear of being cut down as cultists by those professionals who arrested people everywhere."

So, that day, I came out at noon against the spicy sun, and I still thought about such a big sun, no one would think that I was some kind of demon lackey, right?

In fact, I guessed correctly, it was too hot at noon that day, and those expensive professionals did not come out to arrest people, so I entered the city safely and sat down on the side of the bar at the Snake Bay Tavern......"

The old man grabbed his glass and took a sip, the pale green liquid spilling from the corners of his mouth onto his gray beard.

"I'm just sitting here, you know? It was where I was sitting now, and I asked the bartender for a glass of bitter algae, and as soon as I sat down to refresh myself, the door of the tavern was violently kicked open from the outside, and the guys in beautiful armor rushed in and began to scratch people along the wine table.

At first I didn't know what was going on, until one of the old pros pulled out his knife and slashed the neck of a drunkard, spurting blood everywhere, and the whole scene was thrown into chaos.

I was so frightened that I threw down my unfinished glass and slipped out the back door of the tavern.

Blessed by the Misty Girl, fortunately I often come to the Snake Bay Tavern, otherwise I would have been caught that day by the group of guys who reasoned with knives. ”

Cherki was talking, only to find that the bartender was also standing in front of him and Xue Hua.

"I still remember what you said, when several of the guys in the Snake Bay Tavern were all caught by the bandits, and then none of them could get out... This bunch of garbage!

This glass of wine is mine, so that our guests can know the good deeds of those old men. ”

The bartender grabbed the flask and refilled Xue Hua and Cherki's glasses, then shook his head and walked away.

"Thank you, you are such a kind person Devilla, let me toast you!" Cherki grabbed his glass and raised his glass to the bartender, then gulped down the wine.

Xue Hua also picked up the cup and saluted briefly, then turned his head and continued to look at Cherki.

He knew that the old man's story was not so simple.

Sure enough, after taking a long sip of wine, Cherky put the glass on the table with a clatter, and began to talk about what he had experienced that day.

"The chaos in the tavern is terrifying, but that's not what I'm trying to talk about......

At noon that day, after slipping through the back door of the tavern, I ran down the dark alleys, in which the midday sun could not even shine, trying to sneak out of the city and return to my cozy little nest.

I've lived in the port of Kingsport for about fifty or sixty years, and I know every alley here, and I thought I would soon be able to slip out of the eyes of those guys and out of the city, but I didn't expect that in the deep alleys of the port, which I should have been very familiar with, I was actually bumped into a horrific scene that I had not experienced for most of my life......"

Cherki stopped, grabbed his glass and took a sip to strengthen his courage.

Xue Hua noticed that the expression on his face had become unsightly again, and the hand holding the wine glass had a bulging tendon, as if he was going to crush the wine glass made of seaflower wood.

After a long time, the old man calmed down again, and continued in a hoarse voice.

"I've been in those alleys for about ten minutes, and according to my estimates, you'll be able to see the walls of the port area in a few hundred meters, so I planned to speed up the journey a bit, but you know, my legs... Hey......

So after walking for a while, I was tired, and the place where my left leg was attached to the wooden prosthetic leg was so painful.

I had no choice but to stop and rest for a while, I rubbed my legs against the wall, trying to regain my ability to walk as soon as possible.

But at this moment, a very strong smell of blood came from the mouth of the alley where I was at the time, and the smell of blood was so great that it was breathless, like someone had thrown you into a vat full of blood......

I've been on a sea hunting ship for most of my life, and the smell of blood is strong when the sea beasts are caught, but to get to the level I smelled at the time, it would take at least five ship-swallowing whales to be bled out......"
