The name of the tavern is Old George. From the outside it looks like it has been around for a while, but when you go in, it gives you a nostalgic atmosphere.
It was noon at this time, the tavern had just opened, and Guding was the first customer.
The tavern owner is an old man named George, with short silver hair, silver stubble on his face, and a warm smile. "What's up, boy?"
"A cup of Milka, thank you!" Gu Ding also grinned. This tavern reminded him of the Rose Tavern. The Rose Tavern of "Aunt Rousi" also took this nostalgic route.
"Good boy, minors should learn from you, drink more nutritious drinks, and try to avoid alcohol." Old George smiled and prepared for Guding.
Before Guding's Milka was prepared, another person walked in at the door. It was a middle-aged man who looked to be about forty years old, with short gray hair, rough face, unshaven face, a long scar from top to bottom at the right eye, and a long scar on the right eye. The eyeballs are completely white, and I don't know if I can see. He is tall, about two meters one and two meters tall, and with that face, he is quite intimidating.
"This man is a demigod, be careful." Neptune reminded in Guding's ear.
The middle-aged man went straight to the bar chair on Guding's right and sat down, "Boss, have a glass of Lime!"
"It will be ready soon." Old George said, and brought over Guding's Mirka.
The middle-aged man's eyes fell on Gu Ding, "Mirka, a very healthy drink. Not many young people don't drink alcoholic beverages now."
"Uncle, the lim you want is also very healthy, isn't it just lim juice?" Gu Ding took a sip of Milka and turned his head to respond.
"Drinking more juice is good for the skin." The middle-aged man stretched out a finger and pressed his left cheek, "Look, how elastic, can you tell that I am over four thousand years old this year?"
"Uncle, you look about forty." Gu Ding looked at it carefully and gave an answer.
"Look, the apparent age is a hundred times younger than the actual age, so juice is very useful." The middle-aged man gave his own weird theory. In fact, after reaching the demigod realm, the flesh and blood body will begin to transform into the energy body, so it will not age.
Although this theory is very weird, judging from the current trend of the conversation, this uncle does not seem to be as difficult to get along with as he seems.
"Mirka contains a lot of calcium and protein. You should drink more for your small body." Lim, a middle-aged man, was also prepared. He picked up the cup and pointed at Gu Ding. "But most children of your age prefer alcoholic drinks, right?"
"I have a special constitution and cannot drink alcoholic beverages." Gu Ding shook his head, "Uncle, can you not drink alcoholic beverages?"
"I used to like it very much. Later, I got drunk and got a hand with someone. Have you seen the scar on my face?" A centimeter-long scar, "This is from that time, and because of that time, I also lost my right eye. After that incident, I never touched alcohol again."
"Sorry." Gu Ding didn't expect to accidentally poke someone's sore spot.
"Actually, I have always been very grateful to the person who left me with this scar." The middle-aged uncle smiled and shook his head. He didn't seem to care about mentioning this matter, "I was really young at that time, of course I didn't You are young now, and I was probably in my early twenties at that time. You were young and frivolous, relying on your talent, you did a lot of stupid things. You don’t practice hard every day, you just know how to eat, drink and have fun, and play every time after drinking. Alcohol madness. After being left with this scar, I began to practice crazily, traveling around, challenging all kinds of strong people, so I became who I am today. In the beginning, I kept this scar for revenge. But slowly Slowly, I began to find that it became a warning line in my heart, it can tell me what to do and what not to do, and make me a better person."
"Uncle, did you meet the person who left you with the scar?" Gu Ding could understand his change of mentality, but he still wanted to know the result of this matter.
Hearing this question, the middle-aged man was silent for a moment, and then nodded after a while. "Yes, I searched for many years to find out about him, and then came to challenge him, but failed again. Then I practiced harder, and every time my strength improved, I challenged him again. This continued until I reached the semi-god realm , That time I challenged him again, and I finally won. But at that time, my hatred for him had already dissipated."
"Later, the two of us became very good friends. He didn't tell me that he was actually my biological father until the moment his lifespan was exhausted more than three hundred years ago... I didn't understand until then why he would accept my challenge over and over again unconditionally, and did not move off the planet because of the inconvenience I caused. It was also at that time that I remembered that sometimes when I chatted with him, he would occasionally talk about The topic of father and son. He asked me if I would hate my parents because I was an orphan, and he asked me what I hope my father will be like... "
The words of the middle-aged man also made Gu Ding fall into deep thought. When it comes to his father, he only has the impression of his father who raised him, but he has no impression of his biological parents at all. After hearing this story, Gu Ding also began to think about a question that he had never considered before—what kind of people were his biological parents
"I don't know why I can't help but talk so much, maybe like the old man, I like to chatter when I get older." The middle-aged man drank the lim juice in the glass in one gulp, "Boss, have another glass."
Gu Ding also drank the Milka in the cup, "Boss, I want it too!"
"Just tell my story. What about you? You shouldn't be a local resident, the natives of Probran have reddish skin."
"My name is Gu Ding, and I am an interstellar pirate. This time I passed by this planet. My hometown is in Longteng Universe, and I, like Uncle, was an orphan since I was a child." At this time, two glasses of non-alcoholic drinks from the shop owner After being brought over, Gu Ding raised his cup and smiled.
"Roland, the interstellar lone traveler." The middle-aged man also raised his glass, "Cheers to the orphan!"
"Uncle, are you a lone traveler?" It's not the first time Gu Ding has seen a lone traveler, but when he heard this name, the first thing he considered was to pull him into his team, "Then is the uncle interested in joining our pirates?" What about the regiment?"
"Join the pirate group?" Roland raised his brows, as if he was thinking about something. "Actually, I am also looking forward to the life of interstellar pirates. It is more interesting for everyone to get together than to be alone. But not now, the demigod only has five thousand years of life." Shouyuan, I am over four thousand years old now, and I have to reach the god rank before my lifespan is exhausted, so I have been traveling and looking for a breakthrough point. I can think about it when I enter the god rank in the future."
Hearing that the other party did not directly refuse, Gu Ding was quite happy, "Then uncle, please leave a communication number, and we will keep in touch."
Roland did not refuse the request, and left the communication number to Guding.
"Uncle, you are staying on this planet, is there an opportunity for you to break through?" Gu Ding couldn't help asking.
"No. It's just because the spaceship broke down, and my spaceship is an old limited edition. Some materials are difficult to obtain and need to be customized, so I'm stuck here." Roland shook his head and looked at Guding's empty space. Cup, "Do you want more?"
"No, I didn't come here until after lunch. In fact, one cup is enough." Gu Ding shook his head.
"Boss, pay the bill, for two people." Roland tapped his fingers on the table.
"Thank you, uncle! I'll treat you to lunch tomorrow!" Gu Ding grinned. He and Roland had many similarities. Two people become friends after two drinks. In fact, the establishment of friendship between men is often as simple as that.
"Since you said so, I will definitely choose the most expensive one tomorrow. I have to think about what to drink tomorrow at night."
After leaving the tavern, the two split into two paths.
It wasn't until Roland was out of sight that the Sea Emperor said, "Guding, do you know who that guy was just now?"
"Is he famous?" Gu Ding felt that the name Roland was indeed familiar.
The Emperor of the Sea projected Roland's information.
[Grand Duke: Roland]
[Title: The Man Closest to God]
[Sex: Male]
[Age: 4243]
[Gene Level: Demigod]
[The strongest combat power: unknown]
[Special ability: unknown.]
[Other abilities: Possesses the sword technique of killing gods]
[Character introduction: The only demigod-level powerhouse in Feimei Universe who was named Grand Duke by the federal government. Possessing peerless swordsmanship, he once killed a lower god with one move with the power of a demigod. According to some unofficial information, he is also a five-star evildoer. In the universe sea, he occupies the eighth place on the list of "Demigods and Demons".]
"The title of Grand Duke can only be obtained by one person in a universe country, and that is the strongest demigod. Before Elizabeth was promoted to the rank of God, he was the person with the highest combat power in the entire Feimei universe country. He is also the first person who is most likely to break through to the god rank." Neptune then added, "If Elizabeth hadn't had the opportunity you gave him, he would still be the strongest fighter in Feimei Universe Kingdom. How dare you speak up? , let him join our team... "
"It almost succeeded." Gu Ding grinned, "But it doesn't matter, there will be opportunities in the future."
"I think he should have heard your name, because the popularity has been very high during this time. But he may not have paid too much attention, so he didn't show surprise when you said you were Guding or an interstellar pirate. But this is also Normally, demigod-level powerhouses usually focus on how to break through to the god-level, and don't have much time to think about other issues." The Sea Emperor always felt that what happened just now was a bit weird. "When he reported his name, I thought it was just the same name, and then I immediately checked his information, and found out that he is the legendary Grand Duke Roland."
"Is it difficult to break through the god rank? Can we help?" Gu Ding couldn't help asking.
"Whether you can break through to the god rank is actually affected by many factors. Like Elizabeth before and Roland you met today, they are both top demigod existences, and all their conditions have met the requirements for breaking through to the god rank , what is missing is only a small opportunity. In this case, there is no way to rely on external help, and it can only depend on personal luck. Generally, at their level, the probability of a successful breakthrough is more than 90%. , It’s just a matter of time. But there are also some people who are particularly unlucky, and they may not find such an opportunity until their lifespan is exhausted, which is very rare.” This explanation of the Sea Emperor made Gu Ding feel helpless, and the Sea Emperor also Immediately added, "For monster-level powerhouses like Roland, luck is generally not too bad. Personally, I don't think it's a big problem for him to break through."
Walking out of the tavern, under the guidance of the Neptune, Gu Ding walked towards the shop of medicinal materials...
