Chapter 1063: Bar

In the morning in Igwinter, in a dark and cold alley somewhere, the sun shone in through a slit in the sky between the buildings, barely illuminating the dim environment in the alley. The half-naked and dirty vagrants huddled in the corners of the walls or closed their eyes to sleep. And in one of the more remote and deserted corners, a figure with not so tattered clothes was lying here.

This was a man in his thirties or forties, slightly short, with stubble on his face, a stern face, decent clothes but covered in dust, eyes closed, lying unconscious in a dark corner. He was Godfrey, a Black Earth-class bonemist of the Stone Path, who had just come to Igwinter not long ago to carry out a society mission with his companions. Now, for some unknown reason, he was unconscious in the corner of this alley.

At this moment, Godfrey was still lying in the corner unconscious. He didn't know how long he had been unconscious, but there was still no sign of waking up. Just when he seemed to be about to fall unconscious forever, a pool of cold water poured down from above him and splashed on him.

Godfrey, who was suddenly drenched in cold air, shuddered violently and then woke up immediately. He covered his still groggy head and looked at the unfamiliar environment in front of him.

"Hiss...where is this...what's wrong with me?"

Godfrey murmured with a confused look on his face. In his memory, before he fell into a coma, he should have been carrying out Mr. Deer Skull's mission to destroy the stone statues in the school and fighting against the Beyonders who were obstructing them.

Godfrey still remembered that at the end of that battle, he used the Earth-Listening Talisman to sense the surrounding environment. He was confident that he could deal with all the enemies who attacked him from the dark. However, he finally sensed that something had fallen at his feet, and he instinctively felt that something was wrong. In the process of escaping and dodging, he was knocked unconscious by a loud noise.

"That thing was really dangerous at that time. Fortunately, I escaped. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous..."

Recalling this, Godfrey continued to struggle to stand up, and then looked around in even greater confusion.

'The question now is... how did I suddenly end up in this place? Where is Mr. Deer Skull? Where is Oswan? Did the mission succeed or fail? If it failed and I passed out, why didn't the enemy deal with me but just left me here?'

Looking at the scene around him, Godfrey thought in confusion. Just as he was about to think about it carefully, he suddenly felt hungry in his stomach and his mouth was extremely dry.

"I'm so hungry... so thirsty... No, now is not the time to think about these things, I need to find something to eat and drink..."

As he thought about this, Godfrey looked around and began to search for food and water. Of course, there was nothing like that in this dark alley, unless he, an extraordinary person, wanted to rummage through trash cans and drink gutter water like those homeless people.

After looking around, Godfrey decided to walk out of this alley first. After looking around for a few times, he found that the place he was in seemed to be the end of the alley, and there was only one way to get out from here.

Without thinking too much, Godfrey took a frivolous step forward, walking along the only road. After turning a few corners, he finally saw the exit of the alley connecting to the main road. More importantly, next to the exit, he saw a bar that was open for business.

Seeing the bar, Godfrey, who was hungry and thirsty, breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked towards it without thinking.

…

Roughly speaking, the Upper and Lower urban areas of Igwynt are divided by the Tieni River, with the north bank being the Upper and the south bank being the Lower. But in fact, this is not the case. The area of ​​the Lower Urban Area is much larger than that of the Upper Urban Area. A considerable area on the north bank of the lower reaches of the Tieni River is also designated as the Lower Urban Area. The boundary between here and the Upper Urban Area is blurred, and thefts are rampant.

The Yege Bar is located at the blurred boundary between the upper and lower city areas. It is open 24 hours a day, so there is a constant stream of customers. During the day, it is mainly frequented by people from the upper city, while at night it is mostly frequented by people from the lower city. At dusk, many people also come here to dine.

If you ask what time of day this bar has the least people, it must be in the morning. But this does not mean that there is no one here at this time. Some people like to come here in the morning, such as Xianzu.

In the early morning, in front of the deserted counter of the Yege Bar, Greg, who had just finished working overtime, was sitting on a bench with a glass of wine in front of him, a cigarette in his hand, two obvious dark circles under his eyes, and a tired expression.

That's right, Greg was a regular at this bar. After finishing overtime and returning his equipment to the bureau, he usually didn't go home immediately. Instead, he came to this bar to have a couple of drinks, smoke a cigarette, relieve some stress, and then go home.

When he first came to Igwynte, Greg had been a regular at this bar, even when he lived in the lower town on the south bank of the River and had only a meager salary from working in a factory every day, because here he could have some contact with the residents of the upper town. At that time, he liked to squeeze out a little leisure time from his nearly 12-hour work day to come here and order a glass of the cheapest wine, then drink it while looking longingly at the well-dressed gentlemen and ladies on the street who were talking and laughing.
