Chapter 573 Pluto? ! (Two in one)
It was not until he touched his face that Tsugakuma Yoshiichi finally realized why he was regarded as a young man by the old merchant in front of him.
The delicate and smooth touch made Tsugakuma Yoshiichi startled. He stretched out his arms, lowered his head and examined it carefully. Only then did Yoshiichi's eyes reveal a look of understanding.
If we put aside the factor of height, Tsugakuma Yoshiichi's skin condition at this time is basically a teenager in puberty at the age of 16 or 17. The collagen on his face cannot be covered by the simple animal skin coat.
In the eyes of the old merchant, Tsugakuma Yoshiichi with no hair on his mouth is completely a "child" who has not grown up yet.
With the body reshaped, Tsugakuma Yoshiichi's age has become more difficult to distinguish.
Although his skin was originally fair, Tsugakuma Yoshiichi, who has been practicing for many years, actually has thick calluses on his hands. Moreover, due to his age, Yoshiichi's skin is inevitably pigmented. As he grows older, the mature and vicissitudes of life on his body are difficult to cover.
But now, Jiguo Yuichi is different. His inner temperament has been completely covered by his young face. If it weren't for the kind of experienced and shrewd elders, they would not be able to detect Jiguo Yuichi's inner temperament.
It is natural that he will be looked down upon.
"Thank you, father-in-law."
"I'm not drinking alone."
Jiguo Yuichi, who has figured out the key points, smiled and evaded the old vendor in front of him. Yuichi could more or less feel the other party's kindness. This is the first time that Yuichi has met such a simple person since entering this world.
He didn't want to explain too much to the other party, so he found a reason to evade the question.
Sure enough, after hearing this, the old loquat vendor was also startled, and then nodded in understanding, looking at Yuichi with some sympathy:
"Alas, the conditions in the mountains are so difficult, and you don't even have a decent piece of clothing."
"Your family members are alcoholics, which is really hard for you."
"Young man, you can't touch alcohol. You are still young and have a long future. Don't be defeated by the hardship in front of you!"
After hearing Yuichi's explanation, the old vendor quickly imagined the "family conditions" of Jiguo Yuichi in his mind. Seeing Yuichi wearing a shoddy animal skin coat, he actually put on the appearance of an experienced person and kindly comforted Jiguo Yuichi.
Although he was quite nosy, Jiguo Yuichi didn't have any bad feelings towards such people. After a gentle smile, he walked towards the tavern.
The old vendor saw Yuichi leave, shook his head, and sighed softly.
Maybe it was because it was daytime, when Jiguo Yuanyi walked into the bar, there were only a few guests inside.
Several drinkers gathered in front of the bar, chatting and drinking.
The drinkers were dressed simply, and Jiguo Yuanyi did not feel any special atmosphere from them. The drinkers were actually the greedy neighbors around.
When Jiguo Yuanyi stepped into the bar through the cowboy door, the drinkers sitting in front of the bar also turned their heads and looked towards the door.
"Hey?!"
"Guest, what do you need?"
The owner of the bar was an old man about 70 years old, wearing a short shirt. When Jiguo Yuanyi pushed the door in, he was carefully wiping the wine glass in his hand.
This bar is very small, the tables and chairs are a bit old, and even the floor under Jiguo Yuanyi's feet has obvious deformation. When he stepped on it, it made a slight creaking sound.
It can be seen that this bar has existed for a long time and has been in disrepair for a long time.
At the boss's invitation, Jiguo Yuichi walked towards the bar. The drinkers sitting around the bar smelled some animal smell from Jiguo Yuichi, frowned slightly, and looked at Jiguo Yuichi carefully.
On the contrary, the oldest bar owner warmly invited Jiguo Yuichi to sit down at the bar, then placed an empty cup in front of Yuichi, slightly turned sideways, pointed to the wine cabinet behind him, and asked Yuichi with a smile:
"Brother, what do you want?!"
"The most special thing here is the green plum wine I brewed myself."
This island is like spring all year round, and the temperature basically remains around 20 to 30 degrees. Green plums are endless all year round, and every household actually picks some to make wine.
It's just that different people have different brewing methods, and the taste of the wine will also be different. The old man can open a bar on this island for such a long time, and he can be regarded as having a "secret recipe".
This is what he relies on for survival and is proud of. Every guest who comes to the bar, he will promote his green plum wine to the other party.
Of course, the tavern has been open for so many years, and the people who come and go have long been familiar customers. Jiguo Yuichi is a new face. The old man actually knew it the moment Yuichi pushed the door and walked in.
"Sorry, father-in-law, I have no money, and I am not here to drink."
"I am a navy, and I was accidentally stranded on this island. I want to ask a question."
Jiguo Yuichi's purpose of coming to the tavern was to find out information and confirm his location.
In the new world, the only thing that can be used to point is the record pointer. Facing the enthusiastic old man, Yuichi did not intend to hide anything.
"Navy?"
"Stranded on this island?"
The drinkers in front of the bar exclaimed one after another. Everyone looked at Jiguoyuan with astonishment, as if they couldn't believe what Jiguoyuan said.
The older bar owner also stared at Enichi Jiguo with his eyes widened, and his breathing became a little rapid.
"navy!!!"
"You said you were a Marine!!!"
The old man's voice became extremely sharp, his face actually showed a strong look of panic, and his hand quickly moved towards the bottom of the bar.
"Um"
"Um?"
When Yuan saw these people reacting so strongly, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, feeling doubtful in his heart.
"navy!"
"The Navy is on this island!!"
Hearing Ji Guoyuan's confirmed answer, the drinkers sitting in front of the bar suddenly burst into exclamations and ran towards the outside of the pub. In the blink of an eye, Ji Guoyuan had disappeared. In front of Yuanyi's eyes.
Yuan tilted his head and looked at the drinkers leaving in a panic, the look of confusion on his face getting even worse.
And at this moment, Jiguo Yuanyi's hegemonic look seemed to have noticed something, his expression moved slightly, and he suddenly said:
"Old man, what are you doing all of a sudden?"
"Although I don't have money to buy alcohol, I guess it's not a crime worthy of death, right?"
Ji Guoyuan looked at the old man behind the bar from the corner of his eye. At this time, the old man actually took out a short gun from under the bar, his finger was on the trigger, and the black muzzle of the gun was pointed at Ji Guoyuan.
Perhaps this was the first time he pointed a gun at someone. The hands holding the gun were trembling slightly, and his face was full of nervousness.
Although the old man tried to keep himself calm, he seemed unable to do so.
"Why was the navy able to find this island?"
"How did you get here? Besides you, who else came to the island?"
"Say! If you don't tell the truth, I will shoot you to death."
The old man looked stern and shouted at Ji Guoyuan, and at this moment, dense footsteps could be heard outside the tavern.
"Boom!!!"
Soon, the cowboy door was pushed open by strong young men one by one. A dozen young men holding hoes, short sticks, and pitchforks rushed into the tavern and completely blocked the door of the tavern.
Behind the crowd, the old vendor who had "given out" a loquat from Ji Guoyuan before was still trying to stand on tiptoe and look toward the room.
Jiguo Yuanyi didn't know which words he said offended these people.
The other party was extremely sensitive to his identity as a navy, which also made Ji Guoyuan smell something unusual.
People here seem to hate the navy very much? !
But it shouldn’t be!
This is a new world. The Navy has not extended its tentacles into the new world for who knows how many years. It cannot even fully control the four seas and the first half of the Great Route. The navy simply does not have the extra energy to manage the new world. That's right.
"Navy, speak!"
"Answer my question."
Seeing Ji Guoyuan not speaking for a long time, the hotel owner obviously lost his patience and shouted at Ji Guoyuan and asked.
"Old man, there's a misunderstanding."
"We can talk calmly, there is no need to make such a big fight."
"Put down the gun. I'm the only one on the island."
"And I ended up on this island by chance."
"Although I don't know why you have such bad intentions towards the Navy, I think there must be some misunderstanding."
"Put down the gun, daddy."
Under the gun, Ji Guoyuan turned his head and spoke to the old man behind the bar with a calm expression. He did not feel angry because the other party pointed the gun at him.
"Misunderstand?!"
"There is no misunderstanding between us and the Navy."
"If you're the only one, then go to hell, Marine!"
There was a look of deep hatred in the old man's eyes. After he finished speaking, he directly pulled the trigger in his hand.
"Bang!!!"
A violent gunshot sounded directly in the tavern. The moment the bullet hit, a wisp of golden flame popped up from Jiguo Yuanyi's fingertips, which directly hit the bullet.
In an instant, the bullet was directly melted by the golden flames and disappeared without a trace.
Everything happens in the blink of an eye.
The old man behind the bar didn't see clearly what Jiguo Yuanyi had done. He only saw a golden light flashing in front of his eyes, and Yuanyi was still sitting peacefully in his seat.
This strange scene also frightened the old man. He took a step back with a look of astonishment on his face and hurriedly continued groping under the bar.
Soon, the old man took out a few iron bullets and filled them in a panic.
Looking at the old-fashioned short gun in the old man's hand, Jiguo Yuanyi held his chin helplessly and looked at the old man:
"Old man, it's impossible for that kind of thing to have an effect on me."
"I don't mean to hurt you. Can't we just sit down and have a calm chat?"
When the strength gap between the two sides was too large, everything the old man did was like a mischievous child in Jiguo Yuanyi's eyes.
Even when he was shot by the opponent, Jiguo Enichi's mood did not fluctuate at all. He shouldn't have such a character, but for some reason, after being reborn again, Ji Kunoyuan's mentality also changed drastically.
Ordinary things may not be able to break his peaceful state of mind.
"What a joke!!!"
The old man Tanaka's speed was very slow, but his determination to kill Tsukuni Enichi was very strong. After reloading, he shot directly at Tsukuni Enichi without any explanation.
In order not to accidentally hurt other people behind him, Yuanyi had no interest in resisting this time, and his armed domineering energy gathered around him.
The moment the sperm hit his body, there was a crisp golden sound that bounced off Yuanyi's body.
"."
Seeing this horrific scene, the old man who raised the gun to shoot also trembled slightly in his hands, with a look of confusion in his eyes.
The young men holding "weapons" who rushed into the tavern saw that the guns were of no use to Jiguo Enichi, and they couldn't help but look at each other with horror on their faces.
"You, you, you are an esper?!"
Although the weapon in the old man's hand was very old, the other party's knowledge was not as old as his weapon showed. The other party actually knew about creatures with abilities, which also surprised Jiguoyuan.
Although the other party's guess was wrong, the other party's knowledge also allowed Ji Guoyuan to know that the people in this town were not the simple mountain people who were isolated from the world and ignorant of the outside world as he imagined.
"You know about ability users, and you also know about the navy."
"And it seems that you still have a deep hatred for the Navy."
"Not just you, but those people too."
"Can you tell me why this is?"
Ji Guoyuan turned his head slightly, glanced at the young men behind him, and asked softly.
But in the face of Jiguo Enichi's inquiry, everyone chose to remain silent, and no one answered Jiguo Enichi's question.
When Yuanyi saw this, he continued: "Well, even if you want me to die, please tell me a reason."
"Otherwise I would be very unwilling."
In the end, the other party still didn't speak, and was quite helpless. He spread his hands, then pointed to the audience behind him, and continued:
"How about an exchange? As long as you tell me the reason, I will let these young people behind me go."
"I'll trade their lives for you!"
As he spoke, Ji Guoyuan snapped his fingers, and a circle of golden flames immediately surrounded the young men in the center as a prison.
The golden flames made these young people scream in surprise, and the horrified shouts suddenly filled the entire tavern.
When the old man behind the bar saw this scene, his bloodshot eyes stared angrily at Enichi Tsukuni:
"Why hate the Navy?"
"Because this is Pluto!!!"
"As a marine, the reason why you are here is because you are here for us, Pluto?"
"Ask why?"
"Ha! Asking questions knowingly!!"
"Even if your navy kills us all, there is absolutely no way we can get what you want."
The old man seemed to be a bit broken and shouted emotionally.
Pluto.
In Ji Guoyi's impression, it seemed that he had never heard such a name since he came to this world.
But the so-called Pluto.
Isn’t it the name of Hades in Roman mythology?
"Hades?"
Ji Guoyuan asked tentatively.
After hearing this, the old man became even more excited:
"Haha, can't you pretend anymore? Navy!"
