The taverns in Lost Valley are not much different from the taverns in the main city in terms of content. There is even more food and drink than the rationed and processed food in the main city, especially for bats.
Lian Chuan took a look, and probably used the processing equipment eliminated in the main city to cooperate with the raw material production technology independently developed by the technology department of Lost Valley.
In short, from the visual point of view, it is hard to say, and I am no longer interested in confirming it from the taste.
The atmosphere of Lost Valley taverns is much stronger than that of the main city, and those all-night taverns in District D are not as chaotic as one-tenth of the... chaos here.
The dark red light was filled with the smell of alcohol. Some people were standing, sitting or even lying on the ground, some were crying, some were talking non-stop, some were arguing, and many were laughing.
I don't know what they are laughing at, but they all laugh sincerely, laughing so hard they can't breathe, laughing so hard they cough...
Lian Chuan was not used to this kind of collective crazy scene. From the door to the front of the bar, a total of more than ten steps away, four or five people hugged his leg and stepped on someone's hand, which caused a burst of noise. Scrapping curses.
Ning Gu is quite adaptable, looking around, his face is full of novelty.
"Wine!" He slapped the bar counter.
The bar counter is made of metal. Although Lian Chuan has never entered the Valley of Lost Way, nor has he ever had close contact with bats, he knows that this is the most endless and inexhaustible resource in the Black Iron Wasteland. The things he makes are generally solid and roughly cut. Afterwards, it maintains a rough shape without exclusive functions. It becomes a table when you put things on it, and a bed when you lie on it.
But this bar is different, Ning Gu slapped down, and there was a "bang" sound from the bar, with a rather long ending, echoing delicately mixed with the chaotic human voices and the clashing sounds of jingling.
A hollow metal table, this is very advanced, the owner of this tavern should be a high-level bat.
Lian Chuan was a little uneasy, lowered his head, pulled the hood of the coat on his body and put it on. The hood was so big that it covered half of his face.
"How many cups?" A female bat waiter with dark red metal plates embedded in half of her body leaned on the bar and asked.
"A glass," Ning Gu said, "Do you have a drink?"
"Yes, sweet or salty?" The waitress' eyes were always wandering, and she didn't know where to look.
"Sweet," Ning Gu said, "Two cups, I'll try it too."
"Wait." She still looked erratic, turned and walked away.
There was confusion at the entrance of the tavern, Lian Chuan turned his face slightly, and saw a metal shelf dangling in from the door.
"Strong strong—" someone in the tavern shouted.
Everyone shouted, and the sound of wine glasses colliding rang out, and soon the air was full of the strong smell of wine.
This should be one of the metal frames that fought on the stage before. Judging by the state, they have won.
but…
The metal frame responded to everyone's shouts, raised its arms and shook it a few times, and before it could fully raise its head, it fell to the ground with a jingle.
He was not scattered on the stage, but died on the floor of the tavern amidst the cheers.
The people around rushed forward, and Lian Chuan quickly backed away, not knowing what these people were going to do.
The first person who rushed up grabbed the arm of the metal frame, yanked it hard, and tore off a part of his metal arm, and then the second person who rushed up twisted off his calf.
Then it couldn't be seen clearly, half of the bats in the tavern crowded up and disassembled Zhuang Zhuang on the ground, while the exiles and travelers continued to cheer and scream.
"Crazy." Ning Gu looked very shocked, unable to close his mouth for a long time, "Whoever said that we travelers are crazy, we can't match our madness."
"Your wine and drinks." The waitress' voice came.
Three black iron cups were placed in a row on the bar counter, and it was hard to tell which cup was wine and which was drink, as the walls of the black iron cups were all stained black.
Ning Gu reached out to take a cup and was about to taste it, but the waitress slapped his hand with a metal finger: "Want to drink for nothing?"
Ning Gu was used to walking sideways in the ghost town, so he really didn't think of paying or exchanging
"Three common coins," said the waitress.
"Give it to her." Ning Gu raised his chin at Lian Chuan.
"No more." Lian Chuan said.
Ning Gu was stunned: "Is it true?"
"Really." Lian Chuan seldom carries universal coins with him, and it is enough to buy any identity card. Most of the universal coins are used when buying things that he does not want to be entered by the system. A person who only goes out to buy toothpaste, the universal currency that he got out before was the one that Li Liang lost to him in a bet in the last mission.
"No." Ning Gu turned to tell the waitress.
Lian Chuan admired his straightforward tone very much.
"Can I change it?" He asked again.
"Only take common currency," the waitress was a little impatient, "Is this your first time, every time you travelers come here, the common currency you prepare is for buying wine, and you don't have any? Then you dare to come in and ask for three drinks? "
"Can it be changed?" Ning Gu continued to ask.
"What ability do you have?" the waitress held her chin, "I'll see if there's anything I can use."
"No." Ning Gu replied.
With a flick of her hand, the waitress put the three cups back on the tray without saying a word, picked them up, turned around and left.
When Lian Chuan was about to turn around and go out, a man in a top hat stopped the waitress and took the tray from her: "I'll come."
The waitress rolled Ning Gu's eyes and walked away.
"Follow me." The top hat gestured for the two of them to follow along with the tray.
"Why?" Ning Gu asked skillfully.
"All the black rings in Lost Valley are looking for Lian Chuan." Top Hat turned his head and said.
Ning Gu suddenly turned his head to look at Lian Chuan, but Lian Chuan didn't even raise his head, it was still in the previous posture.
"You are such a trouble, I shouldn't have let you follow me." Ning Gu frowned and whispered.
"Then you run." Lian Chuan said.
Ning Gu stared at him, this kind of aggrieved didn't know when it would end.
As long as you don't die today, if you go all out, you have to force out your abilities and beat him up...
"Follow him." Lian Chuan said.
"Aren't you too careless?" Ning Gu suppressed his voice, "Don't you have a brain? Since he knows that the Black Ring is looking for you, you still go with him. What if he catches you to receive the reward? "
"Then maybe you can split it in half," Lian Chuan said.
"Okay." Ning Gu gave him a thumbs up, turned around and walked in behind the top hat.
The top hat didn't have any modifications, so he couldn't tell if he was a conservative bat, an exile from the main city, or a former traveler.
But now Lian Chuan does not resist further contact with the people in Lost Valley. The powerful mental power that made him faint before, and what Lei Yu said to him in the memory, gave him some vague and uneasy feelings. judge.
A spiritual power that is too powerful to bear.
Ning Gu was unharmed.
Ning Gu can activate the second-generation weapon in the main city.
Weapons are Qihang.
Qi Hang disappeared.
The main city pays special attention to Qihang.
He also pays special attention to Ning Gu.
This bunch of associations going back to the front is the answer.
But what makes him uneasy is that he is not sure now whether this answer is his own judgment, or the judgment given to him by some power in Lost Valley.
Lian Chuan and Ning Gu followed behind the top hat, walked through the chaotic tavern, and entered the interior of the tavern through a small closed door.
What is surprising is that the inner room is more than twice as large as the outer room, and what is even more surprising is that the inner room is not a completely closed hole, but half a hole.
It looks like a huge balcony that was cut out by a knife on the cliff.
What he could see outside also gave him an intuitive feeling of the scale of Lost Valley for the first time.
Looking up, you can see the dome of the Valley of Lost Way, which is the ground of the main city and the Black Iron Wasteland, and looking down, you can see a cave that continues to extend deep into the ground, like a deep well.
On the surrounding cliffs, there are countless such "balconies". From top to bottom, there is a red light that slowly changes from bright to dark, like breathing.
"This is different from what I saw when I came in last time," Ning Gu said, "The entrance I entered last time, the layers of holes I saw were big at the top and small at the bottom."
"That's Nine Wings' lair," said Top Hat. "There are four vertical holes like this."
"Then whose lair is this here?" Ning Gu asked, before the top hat could answer, he chased after him again, "How to get down?"
"There are minecarts," said Top Hat.
"Where is the mine cart?" Ning Gu asked again.
Top Hat shot him a look. "No traveler wants to go deep."
"I'm not an ordinary traveler." Ning Gu said.
I am the face of Ghost Town.
The top hat didn't speak, but turned to look at Lian Chuan again.
"What did you bring us here for?" Ning Gu remembered the important point, and his voice sank immediately.
"Drink." The top hat bent down, put the tray on the ground, and then sat down slowly.
Looking at his movements, Lian Chuan guessed that this person was not young. If he was in the main city, he would have already lined up in the normal automatic recycling system.
The top hat was taken off, and although the lack of care on his forehead covered his eyes, he could still tell that he was indeed a man in his fifties or sixties, with wrinkles on his face.
"Are you a bat?" Ning Gu stared at him.
"He's not." Lian Chuan said.
"Huh?" Ning Gu turned to look at Lian Chuan.
"He is from the training department of the main city," Lian Chuan walked slowly to his side, looking at a black mark behind his earlobe, "It used to be."
The top hat smiled.
"You are Qi Hang's teammate." Lian Chuan came to a conclusion.
"Aren't you going to get lost when you enter the Valley of Lost Ways? Why are you fine, and Lian Chuan is fine?" Curiously, Ning Gu squatted down opposite the top hat, took the cup on the ground, and took a sip.
It's wine.
"Bah." He spat the wine on the ground.
Strange smell, very unpalatable.
"I paid the price." Top Hat smiled again.
"What price?" Ning Gu picked up the second cup and took a sip of the sweet water, which was much better.
He picked up another glass of sweet water and handed it to Lian Chuan.
Lian Chuan didn't answer, he raised his head impatiently, and when he wanted to scold someone, he found Lian Chuan staring at the top hat, and he followed Lian Chuan's line of sight.
The top hat raised the hair on his forehead, where the eyes were, there were two sunken hollows.
"Do you want to goug out your eyes?" Ning Gu was a little shocked, and quickly glanced at Lian Chuan again.
"That's not necessarily true," said the top hat, covering his eyes with his hair, "it depends on what the poet wants."
Ning Gu stood up and slowly retreated to Lian Chuan's side: "I feel something is wrong..."
Before he finished speaking, Lian Chuan grabbed his arm and rushed towards the door he came in.
But the hole in the wall has disappeared.
Lian Chuan stopped suddenly, and Ning Gu was carried by the huge inertia, and hit the uneven cave wall, dizzy for a while.
Evened out…
No one knows when the door changed, but Lian Chuan didn't notice it.
He turned and looked at the top hat.
The speed of the top hat was very fast, and when he turned around, he had already jumped out towards the vertical hole outside.
Following a piercing high-frequency scream from below the vertical hole, a huge black figure rose up, swept past, and caught the falling top hat.
Dog head, paper thin wings.
"What is this?" Ning Gu asked behind him in surprise.
"Bat." Lian Chuan said.
Alive, giant bats.
Ning Gu picked up a cup on the ground and smashed it hard at the bat's head.
This hit was very accurate, and it hit the bat right in the middle of its head. The bat was frightened and shook violently.
"Don't bother," Top Hat grabbed the bat's ear, "I've been waiting for a valuable deal for so many years, and I can't let you go."
"What's the deal?" Lian Chuan asked.
"The future of the main city!" Top Hat raised his voice, "You will never understand!"
Lian Chuan didn't speak.
"But I really didn't expect to see you," the top hat gestured excitedly, "When I left the main city, you were still a baby... It's been more than twenty years in a blink of an eye, what a pity..."
"What a pity." Ning Gu said.
"It's a pity that I can't see you with my own eyes," the top hat sighed, "The 400% Betelgeuses in the main city Wanlihuoyi are 100% compatible..."
This sentence made Ning Gu startled, and turned to stare at Lian Chuan.
Betelgeuse
The top hat smiled happily, and quickly disappeared under the vertical hole.
Lian Chuan stood on the edge of the cave and looked around.
Every hole on the cliff is very far away. If he wants to go out from here, he is not very sure. Even if he uses his speed to rush to a certain hole on the opposite lower floor, he can't carry Ning Gu.
"You are Betelgeuse?" Ning Gu looked at him with a hoarse voice.
"En." Lian Chuan responded.
"When Betelgeuse is fighting, will it poke a stick out of its body..." Ning Gu asked.
Lian Chuan turned his head.
"That's the skeleton," he said.
"Then can I think so," Ning Gu stared at him, "The bats are all Betelgeuse? You see, their bones always go out..."
Lian Chuan interrupted him: "Two things."
Ning Gu didn't speak, but frowned thoughtfully.
When Lian Chuan started to check the surrounding cave walls, he said again: "I dreamed of Betelgeuse."
Lian Chuan stopped touching the cave wall.
