Dawn of the Grey Tower
Chapter 137
"Red blood" pub.
Sparrow didn''t know how to react for a moment after hearing the shadow''s words. The little sparrow''s eyes moved between cheese and shadow, not knowing what would happen next in the face of this sudden change. Although the shadow said that sentence with ease, as if to ask whether the wine is to the guest''s taste, but people familiar with the bartender know that shadow never joked on such questions. Other drinkers in the tavern seem to be paying attention to the bar, where they even stop talking to each other. The whole room is quiet and strange.
As for the cheese of the party concerned, he did not show the expression of anger or fear as other people expected. The mage just pushed the cup forward in his hand silently and said a light sentence.
"Is it? One more drink, then
It wasn''t just sparrow. Even the shadow was fooled by the cheese''s reaction. I''ve been a bartender in this pub for so many years, and I''ve done more than a hundred tests of shadow self questioning. However, none of those who had drunk the "poisonous wine", whether he was a well-known aristocrat or a mercenary crawling out of the sea of blood, asked for another drink. However, the shadow was not ordinary. He soon understood the cheese reaction and the guy brought by the sparrow was not as simple as he seemed.
He poured his half cup of honey wine into the master''s glass, and the shadow pushed the cup back to the cheese.
"Hello, is that what the bartender does here?" The mage shook the liquor that had been drunk in his glass and said discontentedly.
"Well, if you see through it, you can see through it. If you want to drink again, I''ll charge you. " The shadow said, take the cup back to the bar and clean it with the cloth at hand.
"Hello, Hello, what''s the matter with you? Doesn''t the shadow say that the wine is poisonous Sparrow blocked the arm of the cheese who was holding the cup to his mouth and said to the mage.
Cheese looks at the shadow in the face of a small sparrow''s inquiry. After all, it''s not so kind of a thing to expose each other''s tricks face-to-face in other people''s territory.
"It''s OK. Go ahead. In fact, I also want to hear what you think of the test. This pub is full of people who have passed the test. As for the little sparrow I''ll try another way when he''s old. " The shadow shrugged and continued to wipe his glass.
"All right." Cheese took Sparrow''s hand away, drank the small half of the glass, and said, "actually, Mr. shadow just played a simple game with me. There are two aspects to this game, but I think its purpose is only one, that is, to select the customers who can and cannot be traded. "
"What game? I only see the shadow tell you that the wine is poisonous, and then you say another drink Asked the sparrow.
"Ha ha, this is a game. And the game is divided into two stages. The first stage is when the shadow pours wine for me. If I don''t drink the wine because of doubt or urgency, I don''t think I can be regarded as a guest by the owner of this pub, right? " Said cheese to the shadow.
"Of course, we don''t do business with people who don''t even dare to drink the wine delivered to their door." Shrugged, said the shadow.
"But I think most people, whether they understand you or are not wary at all, will still drink that glass of wine. So what''s really interesting about this game is that the shadows are telling those people about the toxic part of the wine. " Cheese said, at the same time want to drink another drink, but found that there is no wine in the glass, so the mage took out a few copper coins from his arms and threw them on the bar, "give me something else. Since you say honey wine is hard to drink, give me something you recommend."
The shadow took the money on the bar and weighed it a little. In fact, in his eyes, he didn''t need to do it at all. However, when he was a bartender, the shadow still felt that such a small move would make it easier for him to enter the role. He took the glass in front of the cheese, mixed several kinds of liquor together, filled the glass, and put it back in front of the mage.
At this time, cheese saw the expression on Sparrow''s face and finally digested what he had just said, so he went on.
"What do I think of in the first place when the shadow tells me that the wine is poisonous?" Asked the cheese.
"Well Where is the antidote Sparrow thought for a moment and said in an uncertain tone.
"No, the first thing you should think about is whether he is telling the truth or not." Cheese said to drink a mouthful of the liquid in front of him, and then quickly spit it back to the glass, "hiss, so spicy! This will test my eyes and judgment. I will certainly recall whether Mr. shadow did anything suspicious when he poured the wine, but in fact, it is unnecessary
"Why?" Asked the sparrow. It seemed to him that the first thing he could do was to judge whether the other party was moving his hands and feet when pouring wine.
"Because you can never judge each other with your own common sense. Especially on people''s territory. " At this moment, the shadow suddenly interposed, "no one can guarantee how I poisoned it, or just a little, maybe the wine behind me is poisonous. You don''t see where the other guests'' drinks come from. ""It is. Then, if I look beyond my eyes, I have to think about whether it is necessary for Mr. shadow to poison me The cheese went on.
"It doesn''t seem like a wise choice to poison a customer who comes in to talk about business. If it goes on like this, not many people will come back here to do business. But it''s not entirely impossible. After all, you brought me
"What could have poisoned you?" The little sparrow frowned, apparently dissatisfied with the cheese.
"Of course, it''s because even an old dog who has been domesticated for many years is not completely loyal, let alone a little sparrow like you? Who knows this gentleman didn''t lead you here by any less dignified means. " Said the shadow.
Sparrow shut up when he heard this, because he did not have any struggle yesterday, so he explained the existence of the boss. He even agreed to take the antidote for him under the temptation of the mage. If the shadow is on guard against this, then what he has done has nothing to say.
"Of course, it is unnecessary. Because the guest could have tracked you down as early as yesterday if he needed to The bartender said as he wiped his glass.
At this time, cheese can feel the pungent taste in his mouth gradually disappear, replaced by the wonderful taste in the whole mouth. The mage could not help but pick up the glass again and took a sip. "To tell you the truth, it doesn''t need to be so troublesome. If I really want to come here, I can find out the location of this tavern if I want to find someone like that in the street. But in that case, I''m afraid I''m not qualified to sit here and drink? "
"How can anyone who doesn''t want to obey our rules be our friends? Right, little sparrow. " The shadow said with a smile.
"I don''t think so. You didn''t say any rules when tiger head robbed me of money." Sparrow sipped the grape juice and whispered in a resentful voice.
"Haha, boy, the manager of this city is not generally kind. The evidence is that the bald guy just took your money and taught you a little bit. In another place, I''m afraid you''ll be dead. " Cheese said with a smile at Sparrow''s complaint.
"It is. Our eldest brother didn''t like the way those noble masters pretended, but he didn''t like pure blood and violence. That''s why we set up places like red blood to do business. At the end of the day, we are just businessmen. As for why the tiger head snatches your money, no one cares. Don''t be so naive. Sparrow, this is not a fairy tale Said the shadow.
"Well, well, I see. It''s my own problem that I can''t keep my property. But since being brought by me doesn''t constitute an opportunity to be poisoned, you haven''t said what you think next. " Feeling the topic turning to himself, sparrow quickly reminds them to get back to business.
"Tut, OK, I''ll go on. I don''t know what other people think of it, but in fact, for me, there are not many people in the world who can poison me through diet. Don''t forget, I am quite familiar with the taste of honey wine. If there is any toxic substance in it, I have no reason not to taste it. " Said cheese. At the same time, I think of an old man who has successfully poisoned his food. Snake tail grass is a rare plant with the same taste of detoxification and non detoxification. It''s hard to blame cheese for being trapped by Roland.
"But don''t forget, there are many deadly poisons in the world that have no taste." At this time, the shadow couldn''t help speaking. As the leader of this test, he still cares about cheese''s mental process. This will help his later business activities.
"It is true that many poisons in the world are colorless and tasteless. But on the one hand, I don''t think I have reached the position that needs to be eradicated with that kind of poison in your eyes. After all, no matter how clever you are, I have only taken out two silver coins and one gold coin. The underground master of the magnificent Cangshi King City can''t commit to killing me for such a small sum of money, right? On the other hand, even if you use that kind of poison, can you really kill me The cheese replied. Although the mage will be embarrassed by the poisonous weeds on the roadside, the poisonous cheese that can really threaten his life also has the means to deal with it.
"Well, now I finally understand what the shadow meant by a different method. Cut. " After listening to the cheese, sparrow finally understood what had happened between the two glasses of wine, and realized that he had lost the qualification to pass some kind of identification in this way as soon as he knew it. He puffed bubbles into his glass discontentedly.
"You little fellow, we taught you such a lesson, you learned this? It seems that I have to talk to the boss about the time when you can order wine here. " Shadow some helpless smile, said.
"Well, no matter what you say. Now that I''ve passed the game, can we talk about the deal? " Looking at the small sparrow and the bartender frowning, cheese and drink a glass of wine, said.
