In the evening, Allen and the others saw a small town in the distance. It was about the size of the Gobi Town Allen had lived in when he was young, except that the buildings were taller and more populated. From afar, one could see gray smoke rising from the chimneys of every house. Lights hung down like stars throughout the entire town, giving it an indescribable sense of simplicity and beauty.
Leon stuck his head out of the window and sighed against the cold wind, "Believe it or not, I'd rather have a home like this than a luxurious but deserted mansion like the one on the floating island."
"Moaning without illness." Allen said bluntly, "You're standing and talking without waist pain. If you try not to eat a piece of black bread on the surface, you'll cry and shout to go back to your cold but at least well-fed home."
Leon held his chest with an expression that he was about to die, causing Lucy to chuckle.
The flying car drove into the town. It was rare to see a flying car in the town. Even though the rented car was only a few percent new, it made a group of children laugh and follow it all the way. It wasn't until the flying car stopped in front of the only hotel in town that the hotel owner's son scolded him away. This young man had a pair of beautiful gray eyes and an ordinary appearance, but his mind was quick-witted. He opened the door for Lucy in a gentlemanly manner before walking towards the silver-haired man who was obviously in charge of the three of them. "Would you like to stay for one night or rest for a few days?"
Although the other blonde young man among the three of them looked more like a rich young master from a well-off family, he clearly looked elsewhere. He didn't know if he was admiring the night of the town or searching for something, but his mind wasn't focused on the present. On the other hand, the silver-haired man's eyes were clear, and the beautiful girl seemed to be the center of attention. Her gaze fell on him intentionally or unintentionally, and she could tell at a glance that she was the one who made the decision.
The gray-eyed youth had been in this town for several years. The town wasn't big, but there were always caravans visiting every spring and summer. He could be considered to know quite a few people. Allen appreciated his cleverness and casually tipped him. Not much, enough for the young man to go to the bar for a few drinks in the evening, that's all.
"We'll just stay for one night. It's mealtime now. Where can we eat in town?" he asked casually.
The young man pointed to the east side of the street and said, "There's an Ice Flower Wine Bar about a hundred meters from here. Their pan-fried beef loin is their signature dish. If you go there and say that I, Peter, introduced it, I can even give you a 10% discount. "
Allen smiled. He knew that these taverns and inns were related to each other. It was true that there would be a discount if the young man's name was mentioned, but the price should be 20 to 30 percent higher than usual. The extra part was naturally Peter's commission. He didn't point it out and accepted it gladly.
In the end, the three of them booked two rooms, one for Allen and Leon, and the other for Lucy. When he learned that Allen was going to stay with him, Leon winked at him. Although Allen was not a roundworm in his stomach, he knew the vulgar thoughts in the boy's heart. He couldn't be bothered with them. He brought Lucy with him and walked towards the Ice Flower Bar. As for whether Young Master Leon followed him or not, he didn't mind at all.
Leon still stuck to him. This town wasn't much livelier than Vandersie Town, and there was only one bar. If he didn't go to the bar, what fun would there be? The Ice Flower Bar was medium-sized. In the summer, the bar was equipped with open-air tables and chairs. Naturally, no one would drink outside the bar in the winter. A clean path was cleared in the snow in front of the bar. The pines planted on both sides were green and pleasant, and there was a puff of light snow hanging between the leaves of the branches. It couldn't be said to be very beautiful, but at least it looked good.
Although the name of the bar was icy cold, one would still feel warm when they walked in. It was time for dinner, and there weren't many customers in the bar. It was rare for tourists to come and go in this season, and most of the people who visited the bar were acquaintances from the town. Allen and the others picked a table by the window and sat down. Lucy went to the window glass, full of childishness. Allen put Gojoseon, who was wrapped in cloth, on the table. He planned to customize a scabbard for Gojoseon when he got back. Leon's eyes lit up before his buttocks touched the chair. He pointed in the direction of the bar and left.
Allen looked in the direction of his finger and revealed a knowing smile. There was a girl sitting at the bar, her back to them, unable to see clearly. However, her fluffy black hair and slender figure were already considered good looks in this remote town. Leon was delighted to see her, but he didn't even bother to eat dinner. He had already sat down beside her and began to pick up girls.
A bartender came over and Allen ordered two fried calf loins, a long bread, two specialty salads, and a bottle of red wine. If he didn't look at the menu, he wouldn't have known that this small town had a lot of food. Of course, the quality of the taste couldn't be compared to Babylon, but in Allen's impression, there were very few things to eat on the surface. Back then, in Gobi Town, every winter, his mother would go early to buy too much food. At that time, it was already an incredible delicacy to be able to buy one or two doughnuts.
Allen did not forget to mention Peter's name, and the bartender immediately smiled a little more and spoke more attentively. When she brought up two medium-cooked calf loins with golden oil dripping from the surface, Allen took a sniff and nodded, "Do you still have cumin powder?"
"The customer's nose is really good." The bartender smiled and said, "These are all made by our boss himself. You can't eat such good things anywhere else."
Allen asked a few more questions casually. Although his clothes looked ordinary, the bartender saw that the tailoring was excellent. He knew that the customer in front of him was from a good family and was willing to make friends, so he knew that he would answer everything. Through the young woman's mouth, Allen knew that life on the surface had improved greatly over the years. Especially after becoming hostile with the Gate of Freedom, the Federation increased its support for the surface towns in its control area. Not to mention anything else, just the winter grain reserves had more than doubled compared to the past, and they were sold at a low price, only recovering the cost. This was undoubtedly a great improvement for the lives of the people on the surface. Therefore, in this presidential election, Mobius remained high in public opinion polls on the surface, which could be said to be expected by everyone.
Of course, improving life on the surface could also be a means for the president to win over public opinion. However, people did benefit, which was enough for the people on the surface.
The bartender left with a smile on her face because Allen had stuffed some tips in her pocket, enough for her to buy one or two fitting winter clothes. For her, she was already satisfied.
Allen ate the tasty calf loins and said, "When I was still living on the surface, not to mention fried calf loins like this, it was hard to see even a bone. It can be seen that our president has put a lot of effort into resolving the contradictions on the surface over the years. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made such an improvement. "
"What, didn't you feel disgusted with him a while ago? Now it's good to praise him. It turns out that a calf loin is so powerful. "
Allen shook his head and smiled, "This is called not a person. I can understand Mobius's actions." The Federation started with the nobles, but in the end, the nobles found it difficult to tolerate the Federation. "Unless it's an imperial system like your Adahua Planet, the conflict between the Federation and the nobles will erupt one day. It's just a matter of time."
"But your Federation has chosen to become enemies with the nobles at this time. Mobius's plan is obviously inappropriate. Could it be that he wants to take advantage of the Gate of Freedom? Besides, isn't there a Light Concealment Society behind it? Does Mobius think he doesn't have enough opponents? "Lucy shook her head and said," If it were me, I would choose to compromise with the nobles. Isn't it more beneficial to first solve the Gate of Freedom, then uncover the Light Concealment Society, and finally break off with the nobles? "
"Then I don't know. After all, I'm not the president." Allen laughed.
At this moment, Leon slipped back as if he had seen a ghost. Seeing that he had met with a nose full of dust, Allen pointed at him and said to Lucy, "This is what it means to hunt eagles and end up pecking eagles. Looks like our Great Casanova has a bad start. "
Leon said seriously, "I think we'd better get out of here. That woman is not simple."
"Did she beat you up?"
Leon narrowed his eyes and said, "No, but she looked at me and the Origin Energy in my body almost froze. Damn it, I bumped into an expert who might be at the Dominator level in a bullshit town. Coincidence? Then I'll see a ghost. 99% of them are coming for us. "
Allen put away his smile and looked at the woman at the bar counter. In his eyes, the woman's body shone with a misty brilliance. It wasn't necessarily very bright, and he didn't know how Leon's so-called expert came to this conclusion. Suddenly, the woman's body shone brightly, and the originally warm tavern suddenly seemed to have fallen into an ice cave. Allen could clearly see that his bottle of unopened red wine was rapidly freezing.
Leon slammed his palm on the table and roared, "I'm going to kill someone. If you don't want to die, scram."
Seeing that the guests in the bar hadn't reacted yet, he immediately used his palm instead of his saber and made a feint. A shocking rainbow flashed in the bar. Several tables and a wall were smashed by Leon's palm, and only then did a cry of alarm ring out in the bar. The guests, the bartender, and the sullen boss fled for their lives. Only the woman at the bar counter was still there. Until only the two of them were left in the bar, the woman sat in a chair and turned around, facing the three of them.
She was indeed extremely beautiful. She was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, and she was at the age where her eyebrows and eyes were filled with charm. Even if she casually tucked her long hair behind her ears, it would still make her mouth dry. She didn't look at Leon, nor did she look at Lucy. She only stared at Allen. However, he said to Leon, "The William family's young master has such a great murderous aura. He clearly didn't do anything. He just ignored you and shouted that he was going to kill someone. No wonder they say that the nobles deserve to die. They really deserve to die. "
