Chapter 314: The Altar of the Abyss: The Behemoth in the Sea
Drizzt put away the cards in his hand and immediately took Graves and ran towards the tavern.
After a while.
The two came to the tavern and looked at the slightly solemn architectural style.
The walls piled up on the roof of the tavern seem to be able to turn the tavern into a fortress at any time.
"Cui Zi, when did you become so good that you invited me to drink when you were being chased?"
Graves withdrew his gaze, sniffing the rich aroma of wine in the air, and joked.
Drizzt ignored Graves and walked to the door of the tavern.
A hanging wooden sign caught his attention.
Drizzt lowered his eyes and read out the content on the sign softly.
"The pub is temporarily closed, thank you for your understanding."
Graves also noticed the content of the wooden sign and said with a smile.
“Quite polite!”
“But you have suspended business, why are the lights still on? Isn’t this deceiving people?”
Graves ignored it. , pulled down the wooden sign, and forced open the heavy wooden door.
As soon as he entered the tavern, he noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere inside, and his progress slowly stopped.
“What’s wrong?”
When Drizzt saw Graves stop, he looked a little dissatisfied.
Does this guy understand the situation they are in now and still has the intention to play these tricks on others?
“Uh”
Graves seemed to realize something and hesitated to explain.
But Drizzt lost his patience and pushed Graves' body away, squeezing through with his thin body.
However, as soon as he stepped into the tavern with his right foot, his expression stiffened unnaturally.
The tavern is indeed open, and there are many people sitting inside, drinking and chatting, seemingly helpless.
But Drizzt, who was suspicious by nature, saw a cold and casual temperament in these people.
Judging from his experience traveling in the continent of Valoran.
These people are definitely not ordinary guests. They are used to licking blood from their knives and have killed many people.
Even Drizzt could smell a hint of legionnaire in the behavior of these people.
Graves maintained his momentum, walked slowly to the bar, and gently put down the wooden sign in his hand.
When he came over, he suppressed his double-barreled shotgun for fear of causing misunderstanding.
"Sorry, I didn't intend to take down your brand." Graves said with a slightly apologetic tone.
Although he has the title of outlaw, it does not mean that he is an outright thug.
Especially since his current situation is not good, there are the Hook Gang gangsters who are chasing them outside the tavern.
Graves pulled a chair over, sat in front of the bar, and ordered a drink.
“Bring me a bottle of the best wine, remember not to use fake wine, I will taste it.”
Drizzt came over and lowered the brim of his hat, trying to appear mysterious.
“Me too.”
He took out two golden sirens and placed them in front of the bar.
"Sorry, guest, we have suspended business."
Josip's voice was a little cold as he wiped the glass wine glass in his hand.
"Hey, brother, don't be like this, we finally got here"
Graves took out a cigar from his waist, lit it, and spoke with a smile.
"Josip, take two bottles of wine and treat it as their last bottle."
Huo Jixing was sitting in front of the bar, looking at the two people beside him, He raised his eyebrows lightly.
He was surprised. He didn't expect to meet these two people in the tavern.
Outlaw Graves!
Card Master Drizzt!
Huo Jixing's eyes fell on Graves. There were several wounds on his body bleeding, and his clothes were stained red.
Drizzt was doing better, but his face was a little pale under his cowboy hat.
The reason why the tavern is still open late at night is because all the soldiers of the Reiser Garrison scattered in Bilgewater have arrived.
This is a specially arranged welcome party.
Hearing this, Yosip looked at Graves and Drizzt in front of him and walked over.
"Demacia wine? Or Freljord wine?"
"Demacia bar." Graves looked around the wine rack and answered.
When the wine came, he bit the cork with his mouth and spit it on the floor.
Graves then followed the example of the fleeing nobles of Bilgewater, took a sip of wine, sipped it for a long time, and then swallowed it.
"The taste is not good."
"Graves, we are not in a position to be picky now." Drizzt followed suit and took a sip of wine.
As a river bum, he doesn’t know much about drinks.
But relying on his extraordinary skills, he has tasted many fine wines.
While the two were drinking, there was sudden commotion outside the tavern.
Drizzt's expression changed, and his deep eyes fell on the handsome young man not far away.
Before they came over, a handsome young man was sitting in front of the bar. He obviously had a special status.
“It’s almost time, you should go out.”
Huo Jixing noticed Drizzt’s gaze, raised the wine glass in his hand, and took a sip.
"It's time to get to work."
Graves raised his eyebrows slightly, stood up directly, and held onto his unique double-barreled shotgun.
Although he has a bad temper, he pays attention to the loyalty of the underworld and knows not to damage other people's taverns.
He took out a brand new bullet and stuffed it into the barrel of the gun, making a crisp clicking sound.
This voice carries an invisible rhythm, attracting the attention of everyone in the tavern.
Immediately afterwards, Graves took out a silver snake coin from his pocket and threw it at Yosip.
Silver coins rotated and slid across the neat countertop, face up. "Use it to buy the front entrance of your house."
"Cui Zi, we have to fight side by side again."
Graves raised his double barrels Shotgun, put out the cigar in his hand, and walked towards the front door of the tavern.
Drizzt stood up, but instead of following Graves, he came to Huo Jixing.
"We have a secret in exchange, and we hope to get your protection."
"Asylum?"
Huo Jixing raised his head and looked carefully at Trace before he stood up. Special, with a bit of curiosity and inquiry in his eyes.
Drizzt's body looks relatively thin, with long black hair hanging down his back.
The beard on his chin has been carefully trimmed, and he is paired with a dark cowboy hat with a gold rim, giving him a sense of mystery.
It is very similar to the game character in his previous life memory.
"Your names seem to be on the bounty list, right?"
He looked at Drizzt, then at the nervous Graves, and chuckled.
“If you trade your heads with those guys outside, you can get a lot of bounty, right?”
"Our secrets are far more valuable than those bounties."
Drizzt said slowly, ignoring the increasingly restless voices outside the door.
"I think you have heard of the legend of the Abyss Altar and the Abyss Crown?"
Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows slightly and noticed Yosip's excited expression from the corner of his eye.
“Are you just so sure that I will agree to protect you guys??”
"It was fate that told me."
Hearing this, Drizzt chuckled softly, and a red card appeared on his finger, dancing between his fingers.
As the cards dance, the color on the back changes constantly, sometimes blue, sometimes yellow, sometimes red.
Huo Jixing put down his wine glass and felt the special magic fluctuations on Drizzt's body, thinking deeply.
It is rumored that Drizzt can read omens of fate in the shuffling and cutting of cards.
"I hope your secret will not disappoint me."
Huo Jixing stood up and walked slowly towards the front door of the tavern.
It can make two powerful extraordinary people extremely embarrassed. The guys outside should have something.
Crunch!
Huo Jixing opened the door, and the sight in front of him made him frown.
The streets were filled with gangsters from the Iron Hook Gang. They were armed with sharp weapons and were scattered around the tavern.
Looks like a hungry beast, ready to attack the tavern and overrun the building.
Although we can afford to open a tavern in Bilgewater, the forces behind it are not simple.
But this is the outer city after all, and no matter how powerful it is, it cannot compare to the Iron Hook Gang who is about to regain its glory.
“Interesting!”
Huo Jixing stood in front of the door, a smile appearing on his handsome face.
A red-gold flame appeared on his fingertips, and he waved it gently, falling towards the gathered Iron Hook gang members.
Phew!
The green wind blew by, bringing the breath of life and injecting power into the falling flames.
Fire takes advantage of the wind.
The seemingly inconspicuous flames suddenly surged and swelled, like a torrent of catharsis, rushing towards the horrified-looking subway hook gang members.
Their expressions quickly changed from fierce and arrogant to frightened and desperate.
However, it was too late.
Silently, the red-gold flames swept past, annihilating all life that was blocking it.
Under perfect control, Nanli's fire burned out all the Hook Gang minions.
However, it did not cause any damage to the street or nearby buildings.
Behind Huo Jixing, Drizzt and Graves looked at the empty streets in front of them with horrified expressions.
They seemed to have met a very remarkable guy, with such terrifying strength.
"Okay, let's talk about the secrets of the Abyss Altar and the Abyss Crown."
Huo Jixing turned around and looked at Drizzt and Graves.
Bilgewater Bay.
On the quiet sea, a wooden boat entered a reef area.
“We are here.”
Drizzt put away his cards and looked at Huo Jixing beside him.
“Are you sure this is here?”
Huo Jixing looked at it and saw a rugged reef towering in front of it, big enough to be called an island.
Looks no different from the reefs nearby.
“Yes, someone hired us, and the map location we were given is also nearby.”
Drizzt nodded lightly: “I have read it many times, and the card always told me This is it.”
“Graves, row across.”
Graves at the stern of the boat muttered a few words, but still rowed the oar vigorously and approached the reef.
Huo Jixing stared at the reef getting closer and closer, thoughts surging in his heart.
The Abyss Altar and the Abyss Crown may be related to the secret of the giant beast in the sea.
Maybe it’s also related to Soul Eating Night.
This is the reason why he came.
The wooden boat rowed towards the reef and to the smooth rock surface in the leeward direction.
The sea surface rose and fell, causing the figures of Drizzt and Graves to sway.
“The card told me that the altar is inside.”
In front of the huge reef, Drizzt looked at the card in his hand and spoke softly.
