Sin City

Chapter 3

When night falls, the city is brightly lit, even the blowing wind is full of the aroma of wine and dishes, dinner time is also the most relaxing time for busy people all day. In the lobby of the hotel, Elaine and Yin sat one table, while the guards sat apart, however, the restaurant in this hotel was huge, dozens of people only occupied half the place, while groups of merchants and mercenaries filled the remaining seats.

On the side of the dining room near the stage, three poets are performing, two poets playing the guitar, and one poet in the middle is elderly, hitting the tambourine in rhythm, and singing the epic hero story: the: Alexander the Dark Knight, his raspy singing voice, powerful drums, exotic music, and passionate story together form his own unique charm. Although the story has been sung for many years, people are still fascinated by it. The wine comes in a bottle, it is drunk, it goes into the veins, it mixes into the blood, then the effect goes up to the top of the head, in a state of intoxication, the rhythm of the tambourine gradually captivates the hearts of everyone, even Elaine and Yin were fascinated as well.

At this moment, there was the sound of horses coming from outside the door, then stopping outside the door, and a large man walked in, his body so high that he had to bow his head to enter through the door, he looked around and his eyes suddenly sparkled, then he walked towards Elaine and Yin, ignoring the killing gazes of the guards, sitting at the table, and then he walked towards Elaine and Yin, grinning and staring at Elaine as if there was no one else around, and saying, "Hi, pretty girl, we meet again! I'm Gordon!"

Now that he could clearly see, this was a rough man, his face was firm and hard, and his facial lines were as hard as cast metal, he said, although the thick whiskers and the fibrous hair on his lips were as hard as steel needles and tightly covered his lips, it could still be seen that this man was actually very young, while his eyes were extremely pure and clear like two dark green gems, long-sighted those two eyes would even feel a stream of clear light, this man was dark-skinned, dark-skinned, with a red scratch scar on the left side of his face from the corner of the eye, which was a recent injury, but the scar not only did not shatter his face, but added a hint of male charm to Gordon, the leather armor on his body was not a high-quality item, there were signs of damage, and some scratches that had yet to be repaired.

Yin's eyes sparkled, she looked at Gordon without hesitation, and asked, "Mugger?"

"Adventurer."

“Boring!” Gordon's reply disappointed Yin deeply, but she did not give up and continued to ask: "Then why bother us?"

Gordon grinned, pointed at Elaine and said, "Because I like her!"

“It turns out just a pervert!” Yin looked disappointed.

Elaine sat quietly, but behind her came a scraping metallic sound, the guards were all furious, even many had already pulled out the weapons, once the long sword was unsheathed, the guards were all furious, the momentum of the young guards suddenly changed, emitting a cold killing aura, the temperature in the restaurant suddenly dropped, and, the other mercenaries who were noisy as usual at the side also slowly fell silent and looked to this side in surprise, they had been adventuring all this time, so naturally understood what this killing aura meant, these guards were not only powerful but had also killed people before, their true strength far surpassed their young appearance!

Elaine frowned slightly, her pale blue eyes looking at Gordon, she did not avoid Gordon's excited gaze, then she raised her hands slightly, so the guards held back their killing intent, returning their long swords to the scabbard, and then she raised them slightly, and sitting still, but dozens of cold eyes were still fixed on Gordon, as long as Gordon did something strange, dozens of long swords would pierce through his body in an instant.

Elaine said lightly, "I hate this meaningless distraction, you won't get results if you do this."

Gordon laughed a few times and said, "I like you, and you will love me too! This is what the prophecy says."

“You said you like me it's a prophecy?” Elaine's expression and tone were still indifferent, she didn't even ask where the prophecy came from.

"Both of the prophecy, first of all no, I immediately like you the moment I see you, it's just that simple."

"Whose prophecy?"

"Me!"

Elaine let out a helpless sigh, Gordon's unreasonable actions made her a little curious to browse through the reason, she could almost be sure that Gordon was a bastard, she said, it was just that Gordon's pure eyes had taken him by surprise, so he did not allow the guards to expel him. But Gordon is so rude that Elaine ends up losing her temper.

Yin became very interested again, and said, "Alright, since you like Brother Elaine, you should at least prove it a little! How about we buy you a drink?"

Before Elaine could object, Gordon took out his wallet, poured all the coins inside onto the table, pointed at the caravan people and said loudly, "Boss! I treat these gentlemen, please one wine for each of us.oh, no, just ale..."

Gordon issued many coins, but most were copper coins, few silver coins, and no gold coins at all, with this amount of money, let alone expensive wine and alcoholic beverages, he said, even one glass of ale per person was not enough, Gordon scratched his head, smiled shyly and said, "I-this..."

But Yin seems to be more interested in Gordon: "I'm prettier than Elaine's sister, my body shape is also better than her, why don't you like me?"

The half-head full Yin was taller than Elaine, due to her martial arts training, her body was as graceful as a tiger and full of temptation, which was obviously much more attractive to men.

"I-this.I like him for no reason, I like him as soon as I see him," Gordon replied as he scratched his head.

Yin had no intention of letting go, "Then, tell me what abilities you have that are worth being with my Elaine!"

“See, I'm a nobleman!” Gordon took out an insignia from his pocket, the lines on the emblem had already been somewhat blurred, but it was still visible that it was a fairly old thing, in the current continent, as long as there were humans, as long as there were, identity is very important, and many rights can only be had by nobles.

“Where is your castle? How many people are there?” This is a sign of the power of a noble.

Gordon's face turned red, and he said, "The ancestral castle was sold a few generations ago, whereas I, myself, had no inheritance." These words included euphemisms, meaning this noble family had long since been destroyed, the hereditary territory might have been lost, was a landless noble, and Gordon did not even have any inheritance rights.

"What about the others!"

“I'm a level three fighter, and haven't chosen the promotion direction.” Gordon showed off his big arms and his boulder-like chest muscles, it was a pity that this didn't explain much, because if a fighter's level was already high, strength wasn't measured by muscle.

Yin pouted, "Third-level fighters are everywhere!"

“It's different! I am a genius, I can use magic patterns to shape my body! Look at this!” Gordon stretched out an arm and removed the arm guard. On his arm, there was a sign or pattern of a living bull, this was not an ordinary tattoo, but a construction of a magic texture with magic power, which was equivalent to equipping its owner with a mini magic circle, which can give bonuses of strong attributes or strong skills. Having a magic texture structure or not is also a sign of strong power. The construction of magic textures was extremely valuable, not only because of its power, but also because of the rarity of its magic texture constructors. One out of every two people was able to carry one magic texture structure, but among a hundred people, no one could really get a magic texture structure.

“Only the power of the bull, nothing rare, this is also called genius?” Yin clearly had extensive knowledge and at a glance recognized the function of Gordon's arm magic pattern. Bull power will give the fighter a bonus of strength, which is very practical and is one of the most common magic signs, Elaine thought as she frowned while looking at Gordon's arm for a while.

Gordon put the arm guard back on quietly and said, "I don't have the money to enter a better magic texture construction, but if I find a certain ruin or kill a high-level monster, then, I'll have money, look at my body, I can carry four constructions of magic textures."

“Lumayan then!” Yin reluctantly satisfied, regarding the good or bad of one's talent, other than the Job attribute, it also depended on how much magic texture structure it could carry, it also depended on, most Jobs can only contain one magic texture structure in life, and Gordon can load four, which is already a pretty good level, he said, at the same time means you can get more attribute bonuses or additional strength than other ordinary Jobs.

As there was no further conflict here, the attention of the others instantly switched again, the poet's singing resounded, the strong and low tambourine beats complemented with a strong and gentle spirit wine. Yin soon became increasingly familiar with Gordon, constantly exchanging various adventure experiences, and drinking more wine, in fact, he was just a little boy who had just gone on an adventure for the first time, so Gordon's adventures are richer, each Gordon story makes Yin's eyes sparkle.

After a certain time, the atmosphere of the restaurant was always good, quite crowded, but there was no such thing as a dispute or a quarrel, when the crowd finally dispersed in the middle of the night, people did not know how much to drink, and the crowd did not know how much, from the old man's satisfied smile backstage it could be clearly seen, even Yin was also staggered, which was eventually dragged back by Elaine.

Early the next morning, the caravan set off as usual, wanting to leave the hotel, they suddenly saw Gordon had woken up early, dressed in rough clothes while bathing the horses in the stable, and do work that only the waiter does.

"Gordon, what are you doing?" Yin shouted out loudly.

“I don't have enough money to pay for wine and rent, so have no choice but to work to pay off the debt!” Gordon's voice rose, though he did the work of a servant with noble status, but he felt no shame at all, and worked skillfully and earnestly, so that the horses he bathed cleanly glistened all.
