Romance of Gods

Chapter 153 Bartender I

[There is still one hour until the end of this battle night]

In front of the steel mill, Chen Yan, who had become a candle in the wind, had no strength left and knelt on the ground with one knee.

"Damn little girl, you let me catch you. If I don't crush your face...you, you actually bite my wrist!"

"Vicious woman, I will avenge my father today!"

The Queen in Black Dress and Alice discovered each other, and the two grappled with each other without regard for dignity.

Tiansheng turned a blind eye to all this and walked straight over and squatted next to Wang Juan.

Cao Chunhua gradually came back to her senses. She looked at Chen Yan, who was vulnerable at the moment, and inevitably had some thoughts.

She stole the show on the first night, but only scored three points on the second night. Although she could maintain her ranking in the top three, she didn't have much distance from the latecomers.

If she takes action now and takes out Chen Yan and the person next to him, in addition to scoring six points, she can also remove a major obstacle on the road to winning the championship.

After thinking about it, she stepped forward and raised her hand to cover Chen Yan's mouth.

Immediately afterwards, a stream of sweetness poured into Chen Yan's throat, and some of his injuries quickly recovered.

He was familiar with this medicinal scent, it was a small healing elixir that could treat medium-sized injuries.

His physical condition quickly recovered, and Chen Yan looked at Cao Chunhua, slightly surprised.

"Don't look at me like that."

Cao Chunhua let go of her hand. She acted indulgently and unrestrainedly, but at this moment she deliberately avoided Chen Yan's eyes, as if she was particularly uncomfortable.

She explained: "If you regard me as a trustworthy friend because of this benefit, you would be totally wrong... I just think that having someone like you in front of me can help me attract many different people." Necessary firepower.”

Although Cao Chunhua was not afraid of fighting, Wu Ming suddenly occupied the top spot, which really made her feel a little wary.

Maybe you can use Chen Yan to test this person's background.

"Thanks." Chen Yan still stared at her, "Do you still have the medicine?"

"you."

Cao Chunhua's pupils dilated slightly. Sure enough, fans cannot get close to idols, otherwise they will find out how shameless these people are in life.

She stretched out her index finger and waved it, smiling, "Brother, don't push yourself too far."

After saying that, she turned around and walked back against the motorcycle light.

In the beam of light, two figures were fighting fiercely, as if they were performing a shadow puppet show.

Cao Chunhua stepped forward and grabbed the queen's arm, pulling her away.

"Woman! My biggest enemy is here, help me destroy her quickly!"

Cao Chunhua ignored the queen's shouts, put her on a motorcycle, and drove away.

Alice's hair was scratched into a chicken coop. She watched a string of dust mist being pulled away, stamped her feet angrily, and then hurriedly ran towards Chen Yan.

"Mr. Knight...are you okay..."

Seeing Chen Yan's horrific injuries, she immediately covered her mouth to prevent herself from shouting.

Chen Yan raised his head and stared at the gray fog that was once again eroding the night sky.

Come tomorrow, everything will be back to normal again.

Alice's eyes were red and swollen, she lowered her head and sobbed, feeling guilty: "It's all useless to me... I can't help you..."

"Don't say that. If it weren't for us, he would be dead."

Tiansheng took his eyes away from Wang Juan, looked at Chen Yan, and spoke calmly.

This child's eyes were so calm that it was shocking.

Chen Yan was surprised and then nodded, "Yes, without you helping me interfere with the enemy in the end, I would be dead now."

Alice turned her head and stared at Tiansheng with a frown. This man was really a cold-blooded animal.

Chen Yan walked to Wang Juan and muttered to himself: "He is going to die soon, and I am going to die soon."

A friend to whom one can trust one's back is waiting to die.

Although it was just a romance, Chen Yan's heart was filled with unspeakable sadness when he witnessed this scene.

On a London night when roses are in full bloom, all emotions are so intense that they bleed.

Suddenly, Wang Juan suddenly raised his blood-soaked palm and pressed it on Tian Tian's face, as if he was coming back to his senses.

"Are you happy tonight..."

Tian Tian was stunned on the spot, and after a few seconds he slowly nodded.

"I can rest assured that……"

Wang Juan smiled and then said: "Brother, I hope to have another battle in the future...I am not willing to lose to you before..."

Chen Yan smiled and said: "No matter how many times I try again, I can only be the winner."

"Good! Good!"

In the relieved laughter, Wang Juan and Tiansheng's bodies quickly dissipated, and the floating stars disappeared into the deep sky.

Come like a shadow, go like the wind.

Chen Yan followed him with his eyes, and the fog in the sky became thicker and thicker.

"Mr. Knight."

Chen Yan stood there for a while and said to Alice who came over: "Let's go."

Alice looked up into his eyes, was silent for a moment, and then nodded vigorously.

The direction of tonight's battle was beyond the expectations of many people. Chen Yan had a premonition that more people would be unable to bear loneliness tomorrow night.

He took Alice to the center of the city and was silent all the way.

In the blink of an eye, the remaining rose petals were wiped away, and the black fog reoccupied London.

The second night is over.

……

[Dear performers, please note that the battle night has ended]

[Tonight, a total of 180 performers were eliminated]

[Among the remaining 380 performers, 320 have received points rankings]

[The parliamentary voting will begin immediately. After 10 minutes, the 190 performers at the bottom will get parliamentary seats]

[The actors participating in the parliament must confirm today’s 30 expulsion votes within 20 minutes]

[The performer who receives the expulsion ticket will be eliminated immediately if the church system is not turned on]

London, early morning.

North bank of the Thames, Westminster Abbey, Parliament Hall.

The crisp echo of footsteps echoed in the empty church, and the gods on the murals watched silently.

"Please take your seats, everyone."

Fei Xiong repeated his opening remarks and walked on the red carpet to the center of the hall again.

After saying that, he raised his hand to hold up a light curtain.

The top 100 names appeared on it, and black lights fell on the parliament seats on both sides.

It can be seen with the naked eye that there are a lot of empty seats today.

"Who are Chen Yan and Wu Ming... We eliminated more than 100 people last night, and one-third of them should have died at their hands!"

"Yesterday in the parliament, they were voted out... but they were allowed to survive. It's a bit difficult to handle."

Fei Xiong listened to everyone's discussion and suddenly interrupted, "I still want to remind you that you don't have much time. Please decide who will be eliminated today as soon as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately said: "I still recommend voting for the expulsion vote directly to the top twenty. Who agrees and who opposes?"

Compared to last night, this direct and effective suggestion had very few responders at the moment.

"I agree."

"Me too..."

"I object!"

A voice sounded from the last row of the parliamentary seats on the right, and almost at the same time, everyone's eyes were drawn to it.

The proposer immediately spoke harshly and sternly refuted: "Are you opposed? Why are you opposed?"

Others remained silent, wanting to hear what the person had to say.

"My idea is very simple. Since there is no guarantee that the expulsion vote will eliminate 100% of the performers, then we have to consider whether the voting results during the day will actually help remove obstacles for the top performers.

Just like Wu Ming and Chen Yan, there is no doubt that they are very strong... If they can be thrown out together, what if one is left behind?It will only make the remaining person even more unable to check and balance.

Therefore, my suggestion is to vote for the performers ranked at the waist, and let the top performers fight each other. This can not only ensure the success rate of voting, but also prevent opponents from having any scruples. "

The suggester sneered, "Humph, are you the lackey of someone among the top twenty? Come here to speak for them!"

"This is just my personal opinion, and in order for those of us to achieve final victory, I have another suggestion. On the third night, I will wait in this church. If anyone is willing to form an alliance, you can come to me. We will not When participating in any battle, wait until your own strength can overwhelm the novel before appearing. Voting can only cure the symptoms. If you want to cure the root cause, you need to be strong yourself."

As soon as he said this, the whispers in the hall began to surge again.

Feixiong did not intervene in the discussion, but reminded them, "There are still 5 minutes until the end of this parliament, please make your choice as soon as possible."

"Deport the first twenty!"

The original proposer was still tough, but this time no one responded.

The second suggester said: "Expell the performers ranked thirty to fifty."

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

Responders came one after another, and a unified opinion was quickly reached.

Feixiong smiled: "Okay, this voting is over!"

……

Boom!Boom!
A fierce knock on the door rang in Chen Yan's ears. He opened his sleepy eyes, and his consciousness quickly came out of the chaotic state.

The strong smell of decay rushed into his nose. He turned over and sat up on the bed, looking around at the furnishings in the room.

No doubt he was back at Maggie's apartment.

The afterimages of Wang Juan, Tiansheng, and the Guo family's father and daughter were still flying in front of his eyes, like a warm dream.

Chen Yan moved his muscles a little and looked far away.

When I return to Chiguo, I must find a way to contact Wang Juan.He obviously knew more about Jiu and other things than he did.

As for now, of course, it’s time to “enjoy” a new day of life.

"Mr. Chen, are you awake? If you don't speak, I will go in."

Before she finished speaking, Maggie unscrewed the door lock and came in with breakfast and a warm smile.

Chen Yan turned around and took a look at her body. Under the apron was a low-cut dress, which was completely different from the last time.

He teased: "I thought you were here to drive me out of the apartment."

Maggie covered her mouth and giggled, the flower branches trembling and spilling some milk.

"Mr. Chen, you are really good at joking. You are the best tenant I have ever seen. If it weren't for you, how could I, a wounded flower, be drinking to drown my sorrows every day?"

After saying that, she looked at Chen Yan thoughtfully.

Chen Yan has become accustomed to Maggie's fickleness and doesn't take it seriously. It seems that the career he got today is not bad.

His eyes darkened slightly and he thought to himself: "Whose existence did I replace today?"

Before I could finish my thoughts, a familiar prompt jumped out.

-

Location: First level of heaven—Zhushan Dharma Hall Heaven—1643·London, England
[Congratulations, actor Chen Yan, you performed extremely well in the battle on the second night]

[Your current points are 45, ranking second; the current number of survivors of the God Actor is 380]

[Fortunately, you did not get an eviction ticket today, you can use the daytime to take a good rest]

[On rest days, killing or wounding in the city is prohibited unless there is a physical threat, otherwise you will be expelled from the performance]

Qizizhang·The personal events on the second day are as follows:

Judgment Day: None
Battle Night: After the arrival of the Kingdom of Thorns, protect your employer and gain as many points as possible.

This story has officially begun. You are the "bartender" today. The following is your identity background:
You work at the Nightingale Tavern on the south side of the Thames, which is a great job.

In addition to a stable salary, there are beautiful women and drinks to accompany you.

But there is one fly in the ointment, that is, you have lost your memory and lost a very important past.

Maybe you can try to use your free time today to bring these memories back.

"Nightingale Tavern, bartender..."

Chen Yan glanced at his personal space and saw that the three divine spells he had obtained from hunting demons yesterday had disappeared.

Continue to restart and everything will return to its original state.

He remembered the man who last appeared in front of him, named Darwin, a bank clerk.

And the last time I saw him for the first time was at the Nightingale Tavern.

If I go to the tavern now, will I get involved with Clay Manor again?
If you can, you really have to go.

Compared with his previous attitude of staying away from this weird manor, Chen Yan has changed now.

Every time he cleared away some of the fog that shrouded the manor, new fog would immediately surround it.

His curiosity has been aroused, and he wants to see what kind of face is covered under the thick fog.

Having said that, no one voted for him to be expelled today, so his second place is worthless.

Chen Yan jumped out of bed, and after a simple breakfast, Maggie went out to get a colorful clown costume.

"Mr. Chen, the clothes have been ironed for you. You have to wear them before Christmas every year... For the sake of being so considerate, don't forget to bring me some liqueur tonight."

"Okay Maggie...if I come back tonight."

Chen Yan smiled, packed up and left the apartment.

Outside the street, there was heavy fog.

"You bastard! The robbery is on grandpa's head! I really don't know how to spell death!"

Not far from the apartment, a much-loved fight was taking place.

When Chen Yan turned the corner, he happened to encounter a tall man in a pirate uniform, using his leather boots to severely teach a few weak homeless people.

[Zheng E·37 years old·Pirate Captain]

"Run!"

The homeless people were beaten to pieces. Zheng E took out the knife from his waist and shouted at their backs: "If I meet you again, I will chop off your butts with my knife!"

He was still angry, and the homeless man who was squatting on the roadside and witnessed all this walked up and said respectfully: "These people are so blind that they didn't realize that the person they wanted to rob was the great captain of the Alara! "

[Li·46 years old·Tramp]

Zheng E stared at him and smiled coldly, "Li, if all the homeless people in London were as honest and responsible as you, the world would really be peaceful."

Li looked embarrassed and rubbed his hands, "Then for the sake of being so honest, Captain, can you lend me two gold coins?"

"Ok!"

Zheng E's eyes bulged and he put the knife on his neck without any hesitation, "What! Do you want to rob me too!"

"Don't dare... dare not..."

"Go away!"

Li stepped aside angrily, not daring to speak any more.

Without the constraints of the atonement task, Chen Yan had no sense of urgency at the moment. He enjoyed the performances of several people like watching a drama.

At this time, Zheng E noticed him, his anger disappeared immediately, and he laughed and said: "Brother Chen! Why are you going out just now? I was planning to go to the pub to have a drink or two, let's go!"

With that said, he stepped forward and put his arm around Chen Yan's shoulders.

I work in the Nightingale Tavern today, so of course the pirate leader who often drinks there will know me.

This situation seems very strange, but also very natural.

Chen Yan just smiled, put his arms around him, and headed to Tavern Street together.

Li looked at the two people's retreating figures, sighed helplessly, and left quickly.

……

"Brother Chen, you won't believe it. The girl named Sophie in your tavern fell in love with me and insisted on a lifelong private contract with me. How is this possible? My life and soul have been dedicated to the sea..."

Zheng E almost chattered all the way. When he was two crossroads away from the Nightingale Tavern, Chen Yan suddenly stopped. He heard the sound of rushing footsteps again.

"What's wrong!"

Zheng E suddenly became alert. Just as he held his sword in front of him, a tall Chinese young man ran over panting, "Are you...Mr. Chen Yan..."

Zheng E was startled by this reckless man and was about to teach him a lesson, but when he heard him mention the word "Chen Yan", he suppressed his anger and looked at Chen Yan, "Do you know him?"

[Zhang Bulu·28 years old·Gardener]

This weird young man showed up again, so to speak, he did come here last morning and fired the shot.

Facing Zheng E's inquiry, Chen Yan shook his head and said, "I don't know him, he's probably a lunatic."

Zheng E felt a little strange when he heard this, but he didn't say much, and the two continued to move forward side by side.

Chen Yan wanted to see what choice Zhang Bulu would make if he didn't get a positive answer.

But as soon as the two walked away, Zhang Bulu started talking to the air.

"I finally found you! Go to Lesk Manor quickly, there is treasure there! Go to Lesk Manor quickly..."

Zhang Bulu was like a robot with a predetermined program. After saying these words, the next step was to take out a musket and aim it at his temple.

Followed by a gunshot, the surroundings were filled with smoke.

"Madman! What a madman!"

Zheng E was startled and turned around suddenly when he heard the sound, staring at the body on the ground with lingering fear.

Chen Yan frowned, as if he had caught something suddenly, but he was not sure.

At the same time, homeless people gathered around a fire in a dead-end street a few blocks away heard the faint sounds of gunfire.

But what concerned them more was a young man who rushed over rashly.

He is about [-] years old and has an oriental face. Although this man is neatly dressed, his face is full of decadence.

The young man just broke into their territory and squeezed into the crowd.

Everyone looked at each other, and suddenly, the white-haired man among them pointed at his nose and shouted: "Boy! Do you know whose territory this is? Hand over all the valuable things on your body, and get out of here immediately!"

The young man smiled and said, "Hey guys, I'm unemployed, so please be accommodating. From now on, we will be a family!"

Seeing that the wanderers took out the blades unkindly, he continued: "I'm not very talented. My family has passed down some Taoist techniques for subduing demons and exterminating demons. I advise you not to do it, otherwise it will be difficult to end."

"Exorcism..."

When Li, who was sleeping on the ground, heard the news, he suddenly stood up and turned around to stop everyone who was about to attack the young man.

"Friend, I have a business here, do you want to do it?"

……

"By the way, Brother Chen, have you heard of the Clays Manor that the lunatic mentioned just now?"

In front of the Nightingale Tavern, Chen Yan and the two stopped. Hearing this, he looked at Zheng E.

He thought to himself, if he didn't reveal the news about Lex to the other party, would Zheng E not show up at the manor?

"Never heard of it."

Zheng E smiled mysteriously, "Brother, you have been working in this tavern for so many years, and you haven't even heard of the famous rich man in London. Don't fool me...tell me, what is the treasure that the boy mentioned just now?" What’s going on? If there’s really a way to make a fortune, let me take advantage of it.”

Chen Yan was startled. It seemed that unless he killed him, he would not be able to change the direction of the future.

Just as he was thinking about it, a short and fat bartender walked out of the tavern.

He was about to take off his belt and pee on the roadside when he suddenly noticed Chen Yan, his face filled with relief.

"Thank God, Chen, you're finally here! Let's change shifts now. I helped you for an extra two hours today. Remember to pay me back."

Chen Yan came back to his senses and looked at the bartender walking towards him. It was an unfamiliar face he had never seen before.

He suddenly remembered the bartender Jin who greeted him when he first came to the tavern, and asked casually: "Where is Jin?"

"gold!"

Zheng E and the man looked at each other in disbelief, and then both looked at Chen Yan.

"Brother, what are you confused about today? Isn't your English name Jin?"

"I'm...Kim."
