Until he was back on the ground, Rhodes still felt a little weird

I don't know what Lu Dao is for, since the departure of the floating boat, he has always had a premonition that it is not very good, this is not the kind of human instinctive reaction similar to the life and death crisis in the Grim Reaper, but more like a student suddenly suspecting that there may be a surprise test the day after tomorrow.

Rhodes was not a man who believed in intuition, he preferred to obtain information by analyzing the current situation, and he believed that so-called intuition was simply nonsense. The reason why humans have such a reaction is nothing more than the conclusion that their brains unconsciously analyze the information of previous memories. For example, a person once saw an airplane explode, and then before getting on the plane, he may inadvertently glance at the wings, there may be a damaged part there, although he may not have paid attention to this picture, but the brain has been working and processing information, and then he has analyzed and concluded that there is danger without realizing it, and then the body reacts to alert the owner of the danger. Therefore, if you can recall it clearly and carefully, you may be able to find out the source of this feeling. But sometimes the body's reaction isn't always right, and relying solely on intuition is dangerous. After all, it is a judgment made unconsciously, not the result of rational thinking.

So, unlike Anne, Rhodes only used intuition as a reference for making judgments, rather than relying on it entirely. He had thought that something might be wrong with the ship, or that they would still encounter some surprise attack on the way, just like before. However, the truth is completely opposite to what Rhodes thought, the Flying Ship reached its destination very smoothly, without any potential threats or attacks, the speed of the wind was very fast, and when they reached Stonetown, the sun had not even set, no matter how you look at it, this belongs to the standard of "smooth sailing".

But where did my inexplicable uneasiness come from?

Turning his head to look at the Flying Rod not far away, he shook his head, putting the thought behind him. Human beings are intelligent creatures, so they should rely on their own thinking to arrive at answers, not on vague instincts to live - but not everyone agrees with him.

"Captain Anne is hungry........."

Anne, who was standing beside Rod, looked at him pitifully, holding the corners of his clothes with both hands, and a pair of big eyes blinking and blinking, revealing a pleading gaze.

“…········· I remember two hours ago, didn't you just eat it? ”

As soon as he thought of that meal, Rod felt unappetizing, he had never thought that he would see a person eating and seeing disgust. That's not to say that Anne's eating was unsightly or uncomfortable. On the contrary, Anne's movements are a little more bold, but only similar to those of other mercenaries. But the amount she ate was completely unbearable, because the food in the first class was free and unlimited, so there was no need for Anne to be as restrained as in the stronghold, but Rod still underestimated the girl's stomach, and when Anne was gnawing on the steak on the plate with relish, Rod felt that he was also a little hungry, but it wasn't until she began to eat the thirtieth piece, the thirty-first piece of steak, that Rod finally couldn't bear it...... He looked at the large pile of bones next to Anne, and the roast steak that looked like there were at least twenty pieces piled up on the plate, and automatically turned his head to begin to enjoy the scenery outside—just the thought of stuffing such a pile of food into his stomach made Rod feel like vomiting... According to Rhodes's original world, he was "scared" to the fullest.

And now looking at Anne in front of him, Rod had nothing to say except for being speechless, he remembered the "feast" two hours ago, and he didn't want to be okay, when he thought about Rode, he felt that he didn't have much appetite for dinner today. …,

"But ........."

Anne knew the same, but she bit her fingers and looked at Rod with a wistful gaze.

"You've eaten a full fifty pieces of roast steak, where did you eat?"

Speaking of this, Rod's gaze moved to the girl's slender and flat lower abdomen, he really asked this question with a very scientific attitude, it was not a mini xiaolongbao, but a fifty meat steak the size of a palm······ … Anne's stomach didn't even look like it was bulging at all, could it be that her stomach was from another dimension or had a mini black hole?

What's more, she's hungry again now?

Sensing Rod's gaze, Anne stuck out her tongue and said nothing, but she clearly didn't seem to give up yet.

But Rhodes was no longer going to answer her question.

"Let's find a place to stay now, and we'll leave early tomorrow morning."

Despite being located in the heart of Parfield, Stone Town is not a lively town, it is a very quiet and somewhat isolated place. There are no good products here, and the only thing that is commendable is their wine that is not bad. It is not difficult to find a place to live in such a calm town.

When Rhodes pushed open the door and walked into the tavern, it was already bustling with activity, and those who had finished their work were now sitting at their tables enjoying the food and wine in front of them.

Cloth-clad peasants laughed loudly in the corners, while the adventurers mostly sat at the counter, talking to each other.

The arrival of Rod and Anne attracted the attention of many people, most of whom did not pay attention to Rod, who was hidden in the cloak all over his body, but Anne, who followed him in, was greeted very warmly. When many people saw this beautiful girl, they raised their glasses to her with a hint of teasing and invited her to take a sip. There were even people whistling around to get her attention.

When encountering such a thing, if it were Marlene, I am afraid that she would have taught these "disrespectful" guys a hard lesson with a calm face. And Lijie's words just pretended not to be heard, and got out of this occasion as quickly as possible. But Anne is clearly quite different from them, and she is very high-profile and enthusiastic in the face of these strangers' welcome - as if her idol is attending a fan meeting.

"Ahh······h Hello everyone, Ha Luha, Anne's name? Anne's name is Anne, oh? Uncle, do you want to ask Anne for a drink? Ha Lu Ha, no? The sun hasn't set yet, so you can't drink......"

Following Rhodes all the way to the counter, Anne chatted with the surrounding drinkers very familiarly, and the guests were also amused by Anne's words, of course, in fact, not all of them were lustful, some were purely drunk and wanted to have fun. However, it was clear that there was nothing in the group that Anne found dangerous, otherwise she would not have behaved like this.

Soon two seats were set aside for the two of them at the counter, and Rhodes sat down first, nodding politely to the adventurer next to him, and then placing a gold coin on the counter.

"Two rooms, two glasses of fruit wine, the last...······"

Saying this, Rod glanced at Anne who was not far away and shook his head.

"Dinner for this young lady."

"Very good, sir, please wait a moment!"

After scooping up the gold coins, the boss immediately showed a warm smile, he greeted Rhodes politely, and then quickly turned away. By this time, Anne had already come to Rod's side and sat down with a smile. Then she reached out with her left hand, scooped the adamantite shield off her back, and lowered it to the ground. ..., "Boom! ”

The almost earthquake-like sound silenced the entire tavern for a moment, and the people looked at each other wondering where the sound was coming from. And those adventurers who were scooping wine glasses and had planned to take this opportunity to "discuss life" with this beautiful girl would not turn around and run away at this moment. They weren't blind, and of course they couldn't scoop it at all when they saw the pure gold shield leaning against Anne and the hollow in its ground——— and they couldn't scoop it at all, and the girl in front of them was able to hook it up with one hand and put it beside her...... Now they finally know what a thorny rose is, and it's hard to mess with.

Taking in everything around him, Rod smiled inwardly, he wasn't the kind of person who liked hot lots, but Anne was clearly good at livening up the atmosphere. On occasions like this, Marlene could be conflicted if she were to come, because she was a nobleman and was always a little disgusted by the teasing of commoners, which made her feel that those people thought of themselves as tavern dancers, which was an insult to herself. But Anne obviously doesn't think so, she thinks it's not a bad thing that everyone is very welcoming, she has always been a person who likes to have fun and play, and she likes to be a part of it. This will reduce the number of potential enemies for them in many cases, and seeing that the drinkers around them are not as scrutinistic as they used to be, you can see that Anne's approach is very effective.

"Here comes the wine, guest."

And the attitude of the owner is also very welcoming, for him, two generous and not troublesome guests are simply the most wonderful combination - but the most - but the combination.

Seeing the sweet bread and honey baked in front of her, Anne screamed excitedly, and then immediately took action. And Rod helplessly glanced at the girl who began to gobble up again, shook his head, and then he scooped up the wine glass in his hand, took a sip of the sweet and sour wine in the glass, and then spoke.

"Boss, I want to ask you something."

"Do you have anything you need, guest?"

The boss scooped up the flask and busied himself with other businesses, while responding to Rod's words.

"That's right."

At this point, Rod paused and thought about his words before continuing.

"As you can see, we are two adventurers who are currently planning to go to the Black Pines Ruins, do you have any suggestions?"

"Black pine ruins?"

Hearing Rod's inquiry, the boss frowned, he touched his chin, and after thinking for a moment, he shook his head.

"Hmm········· It's been a long time since anyone has been to the Black Pine Ruins, and I don't know the details of the road, but I've heard that a mercenary group seems to have gone there two days ago. ”

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Rod raised his eyebrows.

"Mercenary group? Do you know which mercenary group it is? ”

"I don't know very well, they are not from our place, but from Baishan City not far away."

The boss spread his hands and shook his head helplessly, then he smiled apologetically at Rod.

"I'm sorry, I don't have a good answer, but I think from a personal standpoint, I hope you can be careful. Because I've received those guys before, and they don't look like good people, and the young lady next to you is very beautiful, maybe something will happen to those guys. ”

"I'll pay attention, thank you for the reminder."

Hearing the boss's answer, Rhodes nodded to him, and then he finished his glass.

"I hope you can prepare a few more food and hot water for this young lady, we have been on the road for a day and want to wash the dust off our bodies······"

"This is certainly no problem, dear guest, and I can assure you that there is absolutely no problem with the service we provide to you."

In the face of Rod's instructions, the boss patted his chest and made a guarantee, and Rod didn't say anything more, and just as he was about to stand up and leave here to go for a walk, he saw a young adventurer come to his side, he first smiled at Rod to show kindness, and then spoke.

"Hello, sir, please forgive me for eavesdropping on your conversation, I heard, you are planning to go to the Black Pine Ruins?"

"That's right."

"So ........."

Hearing Rod's answer, a trace of excitement and anticipation appeared on the young man's face.

"Do you plan to travel with others?"
