Chapter 505: Tavern Miscellanea
Cangxuan Continent.
Returning alive to this familiar continent, Zhuoli had an indescribable feeling.
He had lived for tens of thousands of years and had long lost the concept of the meaning of time and life. For him, living was to find a strong opponent, which was his life goal.
Now that he has found it and fulfilled his only hope for tens of thousands of years, he is now free of his previous burdens.
Zhuoli didn't think too much about it. Since he was happy today, he took Jiang Ming to a tavern in the royal city of Zhongdaozhou to drink.
"You should have been here before. If I remember correctly, there was a change of leader in the royal city, and it also had something to do with you." Zhuoli said lightly.
"That happened many years ago." Jiang Ming didn't care.
He looked at the surroundings, and found that they were not much different from 5,000 years ago. The biggest difference was that the area covered by the royal city was twice as large as before! It might not sound like a big deal, but the area covered by the royal city was even larger than the total area of some dynasties!
The size of the royal city is now apparent! However, compared to the crowded places before, they are now much more spacious. Even fifty people can pass through one road at a time.
Then the two came to a tavern.
The pub is very big. Although it looks like any other store from the front, it is a completely different world once you walk inside.
Looking around, there were hundreds of tables neatly arranged, and Jiang Ming could also feel that there were quite a few people sitting upstairs in the tavern, but just fewer than downstairs.
"People nowadays do know how to make more money by utilizing limited space better than before," Jiang Ming said.
"This is just one of the reasons. If the wine is not good, no one will come even if there are more tables." Zhuoli said lightly.
"Oh? Since you can speak so highly of it, it seems that the wine here is really worth a try." Jiang Ming smiled.
As soon as he finished speaking, the moment Zhuoli walked into the tavern, people in the tavern quickly focused their attention on him.
It's not surprising. After all, Zhuoli is a demon, and the demon horns on his head are more or less eye-catching. Jiang Ming didn't care much about it.
But soon, these people were like mice seeing a cat. As Zhuoli walked in, they quickly fled out of the tavern.
Noticing this, the waiter of the tavern hurriedly invited the innkeeper to come down, and the tavern owner also came down with a smile on his face.
"So it's you, sir! Come in, come in. What kind of wine would you like to drink today? How about the Yuqing wine we had last time?" the tavern owner said in a flattering manner.
"Well, but serve a few more jars this time. I brought my good friends here. If they don't have a good time drinking, there's no need for you to keep this tavern open." Zhuoli said.
"Yes, yes, I will definitely arrange it for you." The tavern owner said with a nod.
Seeing this, Jiang Ming looked at Zhuoli suspiciously.
It seems that those people just now did not think that Zhuoli was strange, but Zhuoli must have done something extraordinary here that made these people terrified. Even the owner of this inn had to be respectful when he saw him.
But the strange thing was that the boss didn't seem to be afraid from his respectful look, but rather... happy? Just like when he saw Zhuoli, he wasn't angry because the customer left and he didn't make much money today, but was very happy, as if he had met the person he admired the most.
If the boss wasn't acting like a shrewd person, then Jiang Ming's inference must be correct.
After taking a seat, Jiang Ming asked, "You seem to be very familiar with the people in this pub?"
Faced with this question, Zhuoli didn't need to hide anything and answered it straightforwardly.
"Actually, it was several decades ago, when the current boss was still a child. I happened to pass by here and wanted to have a drink, and happened to run into a noble making trouble. I didn't want to get involved in such trivial matters, but that guy insisted on provoking me, so I taught him a lesson."
"Who would have thought that the man was so vulnerable? I accidentally beat him to death. Later, they called a group of people to disturb me while I was drinking. In a rage, I killed them all."
Having said that, Zhuoli was still drinking his tea calmly.
Even though he was just talking about these things so lightly, Jiang Ming felt ashamed.
I guess there is a follow-up to this matter, but Zhuoli is just too lazy to continue talking about it.
After all, he is a demon and does not care about some things among humans. Even if the so-called rules are violated, in his eyes, it is nothing more than a battle.
As for his strength, I am afraid no one in the world can match him.
It is conceivable what kind of end those who wanted to cause trouble for Zhuoli would eventually suffer.
At this time, the tavern owner personally carried the jar of wine to the two of them and put it under the table with a smile on his face.
"This guest may not look familiar, but he is a good friend of Master Zhuoli, so he must be of extraordinary status. Others are afraid of Master Zhuoli, but I am not! Because I know that Master Zhuoli does not care about the lives of weak people like us. Unless we offend him, he will take action to eliminate those noisy voices."
"Let me ask you, what strong person would care about the life and death of an ant? Don't you think so?"
The tavern owner said with a smile.
Hearing this, Jiang Ming nodded.
I have to say that this boss has a very clear vision, but not everyone in the world may think this way.
When faced with a strong person, most people would keep their distance, or just run as far away as possible.
"The boss seems to be living a carefree life." Jiang Ming said with a smile.
"Oh, sir, you are too kind. After all, Uncle Zhuoli has saved me since I was a child. Others say that Uncle Zhuoli is a demon and is cruel by nature, but I don't think so. At least he saved me, didn't he?" The boss laughed.
"It's not other people's business to point fingers at my actions. You just need to do your own thing and don't say too much." At this time, Zhuoli said in a deep voice.
"Haha, that's what you said, sir. I just heard you two chatting here and couldn't help but interrupt." The boss said with a smile.
Zhuoli wanted to say something, but Jiang Ming had to wave his hand to interrupt him.
"It's okay, just say whatever you want to say." Jiang Ming said with a smile.
"It seems that this gentleman should be one of the strongest people on the continent. Since he is a top-level expert, he should have heard that the leader of Daotian Sect and the leader of Lingyun Sect will have an open duel soon."
At this point, there was a hint of longing in the boss's eyes.
"These two masters are both top masters on the continent. Many people also want to go and observe and gain more knowledge."
