Night is deep.
There are basically no pedestrians on the street, only slightly dim street lights stand on both sides, such as the guards standing silently in the dark night, occasionally the cold wind at night will bring bursts of rustling sound, road The shadows cast by the plants on both sides will also sway slightly.
There is no hustle and bustle of the day, and as the night gets darker, the city seems to show the other side of darkness.
There are thousands of silent lights and silver chains in the distance, and there are sporadic shops that are still open at night. There is a faint noise of customers. The smell of wine mixed with the smell of magic smoke is coming. Disappeared in the cold night wind.
The stars are vast, and the moon is as cool as frost.
The two girls were walking on the empty street, with a slightly hazy shadow under their feet, which added a bit of loneliness to the lonely night.
"...I can be sure now."
The girl walking backwards in front of her said in a daze.
In her purple pupils, the bright lights of the city are reflected.
The sign is like a mirror, reflecting the scene on the other side of the street, where a pub is located.
The lighting is soft and bright, and the plaque is hung above the store door, also illuminated with warm light, engraved with the name of "Hearthstone Tavern".
"Ok?"
Elena tilted her head in doubt, followed Yao Ziyue's gaze and looked behind her, and saw the scene she saw.
He turned his head again and looked at the street on the opposite side in the distance.
It's a pub.
Elena didn't quite understand why Yao Ziyue said that. She had encountered so many taverns before, so the name in front of her was a bit strange.
It's not like it was speculated before, and it's easy to spot the difference at a glance.
Yao Ziyue took a deep breath, looking at Elena's puzzled look, she almost guessed what the Kraken girl was thinking.
"I guessed wrong."
She shrugged and directly admitted her mistake.
Compared with the real Sherlock Holmes, she still has a big gap.
"Why are you sure that this tavern was opened by the owner?" Elena didn't understand this.
"Uh, how can I say it, the reason is a bit complicated."
Yao Ziyue scratched her hair, she didn't know how to explain to Elena.
If it wasn't for the fact that she had played the beta version of the Hearthstone game with Luochuan in the Origin Mall before, she would not have been able to confirm this at all.
And this may be the main reason why the boss has opened a store in the City of Steel for so long, and so far no customers have found it. After all, even the name of the store has no connection with the Origin Mall. Even if customers pass in front of Hearthstone Tavern, they will not be confused with it. Contact the boss.
Not to mention going into a tavern.
There are many taverns in the City of Steel, so such a one is not unusual at all.
"I'll find out when you go there, I'll find a chance to explain it to you." Yao Ziyue grabbed the hand of the Kraken girl involuntarily and walked in the direction of the Hearthstone Tavern, "The most important thing now is to go there and see. look."
"I know, don't go so fast."
...
"Huh, the boss is really amazing, so the voice of the story has been successful for the most part." Wang Gulas sighed softly while drinking the ale.
Although it has been a while since the end, the dwarves in the tavern are still discussing the story of Sherlock Holmes lively, and the popularity of Hearthstone has even been suppressed a lot.
"Not most of the time, it has already succeeded." The giant axe shook the wine glass almost the size of an adult's head, and seriously corrected Wang Gulas's words, "Not only the boss, but also the elf girl is quite powerful, and she didn't show up at all. Anything, even a guy like me who has absolutely no interest in detectives, has been successfully intrigued."
The giant axe stroked his beard, recalling the story Anno had just told.
"Old Wang, how do you think Holmes can tell at a glance which battlefield Watson has been to?" The giant axe couldn't understand at all, he felt that Wang Gulas might have a better brain, "It is clear that these two people I’ve never seen it before, so can you tell the identities of those outsiders in the City of Steel at a glance?”
"I don't know, and I can't see it." Wang Gulas shook his head.
He couldn't answer either of the two questions raised by the giant axe.
"I knew you would say that." The giant axe drank most of the ale in the cup.
"I know you still ask?!" Wang Gulas asked.
"Ha, isn't this a guess, I'm not sure." The giant axe laughed, "What if, right, if you know, Old Wang, and I didn't ask, it would be bad for any misunderstanding."
Wang Gulas: "..."
It makes sense, and I can't find a place to refute it at all.
"Ha—the ale in the boss's shop is as good as ever." The giant axe drank the remaining wine in the cup, let out a satisfied sigh, and wiped his beard.
He picked up the barrel and poured himself another glass.
"Pharaoh, are you drinking?" asked the giant axe.
"Forget it." Wang Gulas shook his head. He naturally used an ordinary wine glass. The dwarf drinking method is difficult for other races to imitate. "By the way, the giant axe, has that thing figured out a solution?"
As he spoke, he pointed to his feet vaguely, and the meaning was self-evident.
"Solution? What's the solution?" The giant axe slammed down the wine barrel, "Let's not talk about us, even if the extraordinary people in the entire steel city used to deliver food, that thing has long been beyond the scope of the world, if it is true If you have the strength to deal with it..."
Speaking of which, the giant axe paused for a moment.
When Wang Gulas's patience gradually ran out, he took a big mouthful of ale and opened his mouth slowly.
"That's only the gods. The power of mortals is too weak."
The giant axe shook his head and sighed.
In the face of that kind of creature beyond the ordinary, even if he has the power of the legendary level, what he feels is only deep powerlessness.
It seems like the ants looking up at the mountains, the birds under the endless sky, the swimming fish in the vast ocean, were born in this world, how can they challenge all of them without their own power?
Only the gods can fight... This is also the truth that the Great Axe believes.
"That's not certain." Wang Gulas held a different opinion from that of the giant axe, "The world is very big, far from being as simple as it seems to us. Many times, what we think of as 'truth' , and it's just the truth compared to us, and no one knows what the truth is."
Wang Gulas's interest is to study all kinds of knowledge, and he has the right to speak about it.
"You're right." The giant axe didn't argue with King Gulas, but took another gulp of ale, "Forget it, don't say this, when the people from the wave come over, you'll know what to do... eh , when did you go out, girl?"
