Chapter 35 Tavern
to be frank.
This time, in the incident of the Public Security Bureau, Han Dong made some mistakes.
To frighten the lawbreakers in the basement cell was actually what Han Dong did intentionally... The purpose, of course, was to prove from the side that he was a 'returner'.
But he didn't expect that he would happen to meet the black knight who escorted him yesterday.
This is a high-ranking person.
The Knights of the Black Rose, which has obtained a diploma from the [National Royal Knights Academy] and was selected as one of the 'Twelve Knights', is far superior to Han Dong, the apprentice knight, in terms of strength and status. local sheriff.
Under the questioning of Barton Fergus.
It is possible that the information of the 'faceless head' will be leaked, depending on Han Dong's ability to adapt.
…………
Subsequent conversations did not take place on the streets where rats and insects swarmed and sewage was turbulent.
Get on the mechanical dark horse again.
Follow Patton Knight to the adjacent [Ghana Civil Area].
Both are the four major civilian areas, but the public security, environment and architectural pattern here are far better than the Same District... Ranked first among the four major civilian areas.
【Hammer and Fire Tavern】
The dark horse stopped in front of the unique tavern.
The tavern’s exterior wall structure is made of black iron, intricate metal pipes inlaid on the surface of the exterior wall, and a large cylindrical chimney in the rear kitchen.
If it wasn't for a few drunken beards walking out of the gate, Han Dong would have mistakenly thought this was a blacksmith shop.
The metal torso of the horse was covered with a cloth, and it was parked in the stable at the back end of the tavern, under the supervision of a special person.
Barton Fergus, who walked out of the stable, took off the seemingly heavy black iron armor and put on a simple Asian shirt and a small leather vest.
The noble majesty exuded by the original knight dissipated.
At this time, Barton Fergus was completely integrated into the civilian area, and strangers could not identify his true identity.
Just call me Patton here, no ceremonial title is required.
it is good!
Come with me to the tavern and sit down.
Pushing open the door of the Black Iron Tavern, most of the people sitting inside were plainly dressed alcoholics with bald heads and fat ears, with big bellies and big glasses of malt wine.
In the process of walking to the bar, a voice with a strong local accent came:
Old Buddy Patton, long time no see!
I thought you went to the 'above', but I don't even remember where I am... I am afraid that your name will scare away my customers, so there is a private room in the back specially reserved for you.
The person who spoke was a tavern owner with a bushy goatee.
Old John, business is still so good.
Old John leaned closer and whispered:
Could it be? There was a noble and powerful Knight of the Black Rose in my tavern! Look at your portraits around you, and your metal model on the bar.
Haha, don't mind using you to advertise in private.
Use it at will... I don't have much time to go out this time, take us to the private room.
Row.
Old John was enthusiastic and heroic. When he went to the private room, he asked the thin and thin Han Dongkai: What does this weak friend do, shouldn't he be your sidekick?
He is an apprentice knight who has just become a 'returner'. He is from the same civilian background as me, but from the Samet area.
Samaic District?
Han Dong responded with a smile: Well... my name is Warren Nicholas.
Old John looked at Han Dong up and down, suddenly stroked his beard and laughed.
Haha, I can't see anything with my old eyes, but it's really good that you can climb out from the bottom of the same area!
Young man...you must try my signature here today - Hammer Spirits. As long as your body can handle it, you friend, my old John has made a deal!
If you come here for a drink in the future,
60% off all.
Hehe, try it...
Han Dong really doesn't think this body can do anything. If he drinks too much and causes liver failure later, it will be troublesome.
Inside the sealed black iron private room, it can be regarded as a luxurious private room.
animal wool carpet,
antler decoration,
Kerosene lamp.
Two extra-large Hammer spirits were served by Old John himself.
A high-concentration malt wine in a huge hammer-shaped container... Han Dong felt uncomfortable just staring at this glass of wine.
It also includes delicious appetizers such as the specialty pepper pork sausage and fried cod sticks.
Old John, I have a private matter with this friend to talk to.
Understood...if there is anything, just say my name directly.
The door is locked.
After simply eating and drinking, the topic returned to the main topic.
Returnees are rarely seen in civilian areas, and I'm personally curious about how you did it... I planned to learn about your past through local archives.
Since it happened to happen, ask in person.
Can you tell me privately about your abilities? After all, when you get to the academy, there will be someone special to ask, and I can help you do 'secret work' in advance.
This sentence expresses Barton's attitude and seems to be on the side of Han Dong... However, Han Dong still has reservations.
Well, in fact, before I entered the space of destiny, I taught myself a little knowledge of mysticism in advance.
Self-taught? Barton didn't quite believe it. You're not educated, are you?
Literacy was taught to me by my mother... I was born with poor health, I couldn't go out to work, and I was idle at home every day... I thought about reading to pass the time.
Accidentally found that there are quite a few scrap books flowing down from the scrap station not too far from home, and the price is very cheap.
Books like On the Development of Modern Occultism, Overview of Mystery, Astrology Theory and so on can be found.
I also tried to print secret texts and draw magic circles on wool paper... About a year ago, I read a book until late at night, put down my book and fell asleep, and had a very strange dream.
I can't remember the specific content of the dream, but I vaguely remember that the dream was messy, and similar pieces were pieced together.
After waking up, there will be more 'energy' in my brain.
After this statement, Barton Fergus never believed it at all, so he had to doubt it.
Han Dong continued: Through the touch of the palm, a conscious-level instruction can be sent to the target, and the impact is not too great. It cannot change a person's concept, but can only implant a subconscious mind.
Such skills allow me to contact the event characters smoothly during the Fate Incident and quickly establish relationships.
Later, the distribution of Fate Points made me more familiar with this technique.
In the police station before, the 'seeds of fear' were quickly planted in the minds of those people by touching them. They looked at me like they had seen a demon, and they were so frightened.
This is probably the case.
…………
at the same time.
Samai District, Han Dong's home.
A stalker in shadow robes is conducting a secret inspection of his room.
During the search, a large number of old books related to [Mysticism] were found, and the books were also full of notes, and a few self-drawn rough magic circles were also found in the drawer.
Two days ago, none of these books were in Nicholas's room at all.
All this was done by Han Dong on account of his sister Nina. This kind of old waste books can be easily found in some recycling stations and can be bought for a small amount of money.
Han Dong has been thinking about how to hide the head of the Faceless.
Since it is related to the occult, then it will pretend to be 'self-taught'... Now Han Dong is already a mysterious apprentice. As long as the words and the situation in the room can be matched, even if the people above want to investigate, it is difficult to investigate. a real problem.
