The Immortal God of War

Lilith and Liu Chi promptly answered the coachman's questions and also raised their own questions.

If there are special patterns or carvings on the shop signs on certain streets, it means that a "black market" is operating. The black market has no fixed buyers and sellers, it only provides a place.

After remembering the coachman's warning, the two men got off the carriage, paid, and soon walked on the streets of the South District. Compared with the streets of the East District, there was a world of difference. As the opposite of the North District, this area was mainly inhabited by poor families.

Although they were poor, it should be understood that this poverty was relative to the imperial capital. Many families in the southern district could become wealthy people in other places. Of course, there were also people in the imperial capital who could not afford to eat. Such people could only live in the slums at the junction of the western and southern districts of the imperial capital.

The two of them were walking down the street and finally saw a pub with a knife engraved on its sign. They suddenly quickened their pace and walked over as if they had a goal.

"Two guests, please take a seat here!" A man who was not very tall smiled and tried to please the two of them. His movements were very quick.

After Liu Chi and Lilith sat down, they ignored the man, so he had to leave with a blank expression. I think Liu Chi and Lilith did not realize that the man might just want a little tip.

"Hey? Are you a student from the Imperial College?" a female voice came.

The woman handed over the menu and her eyes lingered on Mu Liuchi's shoulder for a long time. "Oh! That's an epaulette I've never seen before! What would you two like to drink?"

Liu Chi pushed the menu to Lilith. Lilith looked at the woman with a hint of dissatisfaction, then shifted her gaze to the menu.

"What would you like to drink, Master?"

"What is that dark beer?" Liu Chi said.

"Two dark beers!" Lilith said to the woman.

"Two stouts, nothing else?"

“Two barbecues!”

"Two barbecues, two dark beers, anything else?"

Lilith put the menu down and said, "You can go now."

"Okay." The woman picked up the menu and left.

Many eyes glanced at Liu Chi and then stopped looking back, as if they were not interested. Everyone was drinking and chatting with their friends, and the whole bar was very noisy, which was in stark contrast to the silent duo of Liu Chi.

Soon several sounds caught my attention, and I locked my eyes on those sounds.

"To be honest with you guys, do you know the Black Dragon Seal?"

"Oh! Isn't that just a legend?"

"Hey!~~You are wrong. It is true. Two months ago, the seal of the black dragon was loosened, and the Ogar Empire sent Qinglin to seal it."

"Only Qinglin from the Imperial Guard Pavilion?"

"I can only confirm that Qinglin from the Imperial Guard Pavilion has gone there. You have to know that this is an imperial secret, and I had a hard time finding it out."

"Then what happened?"

"Hey, I'll keep you in suspense."

"Okay, this cup is for you, brothers. Just make your point clear."

"Of course it's sealed. Don't you want to think about who Qinglin is?"

"Is it gone?"

"It's gone, but~tsk tsk! It took me a lot of effort to get this information. Do you understand what I mean?"

I understood. This man was fishing, taking advantage of people's curiosity. As long as there was a little sweetness, it would be profitable. Soon the man continued to talk.

"It is said that the seal lasted for more than half a month. The loosening of the seal this time is not something that can be solved by simple reinforcement like in the past. I heard that the Sunset Empire in the west directly sent a great magician to assist Qinglin. There were also several "quasi-saints" and "saints" and above. I guess it was to deal with the possibility of the black dragon breaking the seal."

"And the end?"

"With the addition of combat power, the seal must be complete, otherwise would you and I be able to drink here in peace right now?"

"The Black Dragon didn't come out, did he?"

"You're overthinking it. Even if it came out, it would definitely be dead, let alone if it didn't come out."

After hearing this, the following news had nothing to do with the Black Dragon, so I didn’t continue listening. After all, every conversation in this tavern might be full of information.

During this waiting time, the woman took the lead in bringing up two glasses of dark beer.

"All the drinks in our store are homemade, so they may be a little different from those sold in the market. I hope you like them."

Liu Chi looked at the beer in the cup and took a sip. It tasted much lighter than the last time, just like a drink. I was a little suspicious. It was beer bought wholesale at a low price, then diluted with water and resold at a high price, and passed it off as a specialty of the store. After all, the nature of the black shop is here, and generally no one investigates it.

Lilith took a big sip of beer and said, "Wow! So this is what beer tastes like." She was obviously very excited. After all, it was the first time she drank alcohol in her life.

After that first taste, Liu Chi must have confirmed that the beer was very light, so he took a big sip and smiled foolishly at Lilith.

"It's delicious!"

While Liu Chi was drinking half of the wine in his glass, I also obtained an important piece of information from other people in the tavern, which can be considered interesting.

Mermaid's Tears are an expensive material. Only mermaids who are moved will shed tears. A thumb-sized tube of mermaid's tears is worth thousands of diamond coins and is often out of stock.

The people who discuss this matter in the black shop are considered headhunters, offering prices to purchase "labor". It is said that going out to sea to capture mermaids is a very dangerous job.

The specific content of the work was not discussed, and the group talked very calmly. The headhunters did not hold out much hope of recruiting people who were willing to die.

I think, since the Mermaid's Tears are so valuable, we can still consider it in the future. It depends on whether Liu Chi can do it. According to the current consumption pattern, Qing Yan's money may not be repaid, and the amount owed may even increase.

"Brother, I want to ask you, what does your beautiful shoulder strap mean?"

Two plates of barbecue were placed on the table. The woman's voice was heard. Liu Chi turned his head to look at the woman who spoke, and slowly replied: "It is the Twelve Emperors of the Imperial Academy."

"Twelve Human Emperors?" The woman's tone seemed thoughtful.

"Are they the twelve most powerful students? It turns out you are so powerful, little brother."

"You misunderstood. I am just wearing this dress. It does not represent my identity."

The woman did not continue speaking. Since Liu Chi had already looked away, I was unaware of the change in her expression. I only knew that she had left from the sound of her footsteps.

"Master, what does the Twelve Emperors mean?"

Facing Lilith's curious expression and question, Liu Chi replied: "The top three from each campus of the Imperial College."

"No way, has the master been hiding his strength? Less than a month after entering school, he has become the Twelve Emperors?"

Lilith's tone was a little excited and a little doubtful. I thought Liu Chi would tell Lilith that the dress belonged to Qingyan, but I didn't expect that the boy nodded and actually admitted it.

I don't know what this kid is up to, but I know very well that he can't reach this level.

Two plates of barbecued meat were placed in front of Liu Chi and Lilith respectively. Maybe the barbecued meat was a bit smoky or something, Liu Chi's vision became mysteriously blurred and his brain felt a little dizzy.

No way? "Barbecue-type biological weapon"?

But I soon realized that it might be the alcohol I just drank that was taking effect. It seemed that Liu Chi had no defense against alcohol at all.

Despite this, Liu Chi remained awake and forced himself to finish the barbecue. However, when he swallowed the last bit of the barbecue, as if he had accomplished something great, he suddenly couldn't hold on any longer and fell headfirst onto the table. My senses gradually became blurred, and after calling out "Master" a few times, I lost contact with the outside world.

It seems that he is even drunker this time than last time. The last time I drank with Qingyan, I was still somewhat conscious after getting drunk, but now I am completely unconscious.

Until Liu Chi woke up, I had been focusing on studying Qi.

The blurry figure in front of me is Lilith. I don’t know when the two of them came back. Since the curtains are drawn, I can’t be sure of the current time.

"What time is it now?" Mu Liuchi asked.

"Oh~? It's the afternoon of the second day. My master was drunk last night, so I had to carry him back. Am I awesome?"

"It's afternoon already?"

"correct."

Liu Chi sat up from the bed instantly, and when he got out of bed he found that his clothes had been changed, and he was stunned.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

"You, you, you~ took off my clothes?"

"Yes, if you don't take a bath, you will definitely feel uncomfortable when you sleep. Besides, wasn't it me who helped the master take a bath before?"

I could clearly feel that Liu Chi's heartbeat suddenly became violent, and a warm feeling rose to my cheeks.

As Lilith was somewhat surprised, Liu Chi held his right face with his right hand and quickly fled from the room, leaving behind a sentence:

"I have something else to do, so don't bother with me."

Walking down the stairwell, I was really confused.

"Why are you blushing?"

"how could I know?"

"So are you ready to go now~?"

"Let's eat first, then go to the main office building. Fortunately, I didn't sleep until night. It seems that no matter what kind of wine it is, I can't touch it."

"First, tell me why you're blushing?"

“Get lost~!!!”

I don’t know what people would think if they saw this scene. A person was talking to himself and suddenly said "get out" loudly and seriously. The next second, he turned 180 degrees and suddenly laughed.
