Mysterious journey

On the dim street, Garen and the child were walking in front. When they were about to get into a carriage, they heard a rush of footsteps behind them.

Dani Hathaway is trotting over here. The little guy quickly ran in front of Garen and the other two, bending down and breathing heavily.

"We haven't seen you for so long, Shia, why are you running away in such a hurry? Why don't you come and have some fun with me?" She calmed down and asked with a grand invitation.

It's rare to be bored on weekdays, and finally a companion from the past showed up, and he seemed to be quite wealthy. Money was tight recently, so just a little coaxing would probably make a lot of money. Danni had been having a serious dispute with her sister recently, and she was not willing to let go of this opportunity.

Since the turmoil started, she had vaguely heard her sister talk about something bad happening at Vindman Manor, but she didn't have much contact with that uncle's family, and her sister usually went there often. I didn’t feel much at all, I just had a slight impression of Shia whom I played with when I was a child, but I quickly put it behind me.

It is extremely safe in the imperial capital, but more and more refugees are arriving due to the turmoil. But there is still peace and tranquility.

Dany had also heard how ferocious the monsters outside were, and that most people would be cut into pieces and eaten as soon as they went out. But she had never seen what the monsters out there looked like.

Now I met Garen who came back from outside, and I suddenly became interested.

Garen glanced at Dany, then turned back to the child.

"You go back first, I will come to the War Guild to find you later."

"Okay. I happen to be hungry too." The child responded honestly.

After paying the driver the fare, the carriage gradually disappeared into the night mist.

Garen then turned back to Dany.

"Okay, I have something to do later, so I can stay with you for a while, but only for a while."

"I know, I know." Dany rolled her eyes and reached out to hold Garen's arm. "I'll take you to see some nice places."

"What a good place?" Garen also promised his cousin that he would give Dany a good lesson, so he followed her words.

"Just go." Dany pulled Garen and stopped another carriage.

The two of them rushed directly towards the edge of Yunguang District and Trade Zone.

*********************

Amidst the loud music, two women in blood-red clothes were twisting crazily on the stage. A large number of people below raised their arms and cheered and shouted, and from time to time, flowers and banknotes were thrown onto the stage.

This is a bar.

It is located on the edge between the Trade District and Yunguang District. It is very large and the customers inside are all young people. Most of them were dressed up in such a way that no one could recognize them.

A band that looks similar to the non-mainstream Shamate is standing in a corner and playing various instruments crazily.

There are three oval bar counters on the wall in front of the door, and the bartenders inside are all handsome and beautiful young men and women. Mixing various drinks for the guests at the bar in a fancy way.

Garen was leaning in front of the innermost bar, looking at the crazy crowd on the dance floor.

He was originally worried that someone would recognize him in this uniform, but what he didn't expect was that there were a lot of gorgeous and cold clothes here.

Those from the Royal Guards, the Royal Palace Guards, Army Generals, Totem Masters and Workshop Masters, and many other services that were obviously deliberately altered. The people wearing these clothes were all imitations of ordinary fabrics. If it weren't for the slight fluctuation of totem light, Garen would have thought that so many people of various identities had actually arrived.

But upon closer inspection, I discovered that these were all fakes.

Although this bar is lively, it is obviously too low-level. If you really count, there are definitely a lot of young totem masters in the imperial capital, but their entertainment venues are definitely not of this level.

Garen scanned the crowd for a long time, and barely saw the presence of single-digit young totem masters. They were all the best in the crowd, both men and women, and they were surrounded by a circle of men and women. Although these people are just one type of totem masters.

It is obvious that most of the guests here are from not very good families. It is simply a place for ordinary people without qualifications to vent their madness.

In this period of great turmoil, the status of ordinary people who have no power to resist has declined significantly, while the power and status of totem masters has significantly increased. In this extremely repressive environment for ordinary people, everyone needs to vent. So these places came into being, with various uniforms and various costumes, allowing guests to satisfy a false sense of vanity that they have become a privileged class. That’s why people here wear very heavy makeup to prevent acquaintances from recognizing them.

When Garen came to this world, it was his first time to come to such a place where ordinary people could interact.

Both the former Ahashia and the current Garen were in the privileged class of this world from the beginning, with a noble status. The places where they played had been cleared in advance.

As the son of a territorial noble viscount, Ahashia's status is actually equivalent to that of the son of a high-ranking official in China on Earth. How can it be compared to ordinary civilians. There are many big businessmen and small nobles who fawn over him on weekdays. There was no way he could be allowed to play in a place of this level.

And now Garen has been promoted to the fourth type of peak totem master, and his actual combat power has reached the average type five.

This is a very important figure in the entire empire. That is to say, the top level of the three major institutions and the top level of Cowaitan can compare with him. In terms of status on earth, it would be equivalent to the influence of high-ranking officials.

But the special nature of his identity allowed him to remain hidden. Not known to the general public.

Leaning on the white bar, Garen lazily drank the purple wine in his hand, with large and small pink bubbles still rising in the wine.

In such a place, Garen's somewhat peculiar appearance became completely inconspicuous. There were four or five people around with various ornate symbols tattooed on their eyebrows. There were also many people with strange earrings hanging from their ears and silver ornaments on their eyelids.

It's just that there are very few people with a calm face like him and no makeup on their faces at all.

Garen was just dragged over by Dany, and then watched Dany sneak into the dance floor and go to find her gang of friends.

"Hey handsome guy? Alone?" A long-haired beauty with purple eyeshadow came over, holding a glass of transparent white wine, and raised a charming look at Garon.

This is just an ordinary person. Garen only glanced at the other party and lost interest.

"Sorry, I have a companion." He replied politely.

The other person's face was a little stunned, as if he didn't expect that he would be rejected even if he took the initiative to strike up a conversation. Walked away somewhat angrily.

If it weren't for Dany, Garen wouldn't have come here to waste time.

Although the life of ordinary people here made him feel fresh, that was all. With his status and strength, getting involved in these people's lives would not be a good thing for them or himself.

Watching Dani twisting around on the dance floor like a little lunatic, fortunately, the place she was in was full of girls. This little girl was also very good at protecting herself, so she didn't get taken advantage of by anyone.

Otherwise, Garen really wouldn't be able to explain to his cousin.

While drinking wine, they waited quietly for Dani to play with her friends.

***********

"Dani, is that guy really rich?" A little girl with short purple hair asked in a low voice in Danni's ear.

"Of course, haven't you noticed that the materials of his clothes are not ordinary? Let me tell you, just that set of clothes alone must be at least this number!" Dany showed her four little fingers skillfully.

"Four hundred silver rounds of cloth!?" The little girl was only thirteen or fourteen years old. Her face was covered with thick white powder, and her eye circles were painted into two black patches. She looked like a panda. What is speechless is that she seems to be extremely satisfied with her creativity. At this time, she covered her mouth in surprise and shouted softly.

"Four hundred? It's four thousand!" Dany smiled proudly.

Several boys and girls around also showed surprised eyes.

"Four thousand? Oh my god, if you sell me, maybe my family won't pay so much money to redeem me!"

"Four thousand pieces of silver wheel cloth are enough for me to have a year's pocket money!"

"Where did you catch such a rich and handsome guy?"

"Danni, I envy you so much!! Isn't that richer than my cousin?"

The envious and jealous looks from each of her companions greatly satisfied Dany's vanity. She secretly glanced at Garen in the distance. It has to be said that in this chaotic environment, Gallon slowly drank purple wine with a lazy look on his face, his long golden hair slightly falling from his shoulders, casually scattered on the bar, matching his handsome appearance and delicate skin. , upon closer inspection, it seems to be completely disconnected from the entire environment, giving people a sense of tranquility and peace.

"My cousin said it! He paid for all our expenses today!" Dani waved her little hand proudly.

"Oh yeah!!" A group of young children suddenly cheered.

Dany glanced in the direction of Galleon again with some guilt, just in time to see him holding up the wine glass and seeming to observe the gorgeous color of the wine inside.

Garen seemed to notice his sneak peek, put down the cup and smiled at this side.

Dany felt even more guilty.

****************

In the corner of the bar, two girls who were completely out of tune with their surroundings were sitting.

The place they were in was a separate single room with transparent glass walls. The sound insulation effect inside is good, and the glass wall is single-sided, so you can only see the outside from the inside, but not the inside.

Each of the two girls wore a black waist-skirt, which highlighted their tall and beautiful figures. Their appearance was not bad either, and they were considered beauties.

The other person had drunken eyes and was wearing tight pale white trousers that tightly wrapped his slender legs, revealing the perfect waist and hip line. He was wearing a black and tight-fitting vest, and his dark shawl hair was scattered on the table with the owner's head. Two delicate light gold earrings are faintly exposed in her hair.

"My head hurts." The black-haired girl moaned.

"Who told you to drink so much?"

The two of them often come to this bar. Although the environment here is a bit noisy, the standard of bartending inside is very high, which is not what other bars have. At first, they came here quietly to protect the safety of their two younger sisters. Unexpectedly, they gradually became accustomed to drinking here. They are already familiar with each other.

Whenever they have any worries or stress, they will come here to gather and relax and vent.

"But it tastes good." The black-haired girl replied with a drunken look.

"Forget it, pay attention to yourself, those little guys started making noise again." The girl in the black skirt shook her head and looked back towards the dance floor. Dani, the girl with panda makeup, and another girl with black hair in a black miniskirt, the three of them swayed their waists skillfully on the dance floor, their faces were flushed, and they looked like they had drunk a lot of wine.

"It seems that little Dani has family members coming with her. Nini, would you like to go over and get to know him?" the girl in the black dress asked in a low voice.

"Okay." The black-haired girl slowly stood up from the table and shook her head, "If there is an emergency in the future and we can't come, we can also ask someone to help take care of those two little lunatics."

The two of them got up, and the girl called Nini went to wash her face and sober up, and then they walked around the edge of the dance floor and walked towards Garen at the bar.

When the two came to Garen, another woman who thought she was beautiful was rejected by Garen and left with an uncomfortable look on her face. During this time, five women who considered themselves excellent have been rejected by Garen.

"If you are trying to strike up a conversation, please turn to the right." Garen's faint voice came directly to him.

The two of them immediately smiled. Before they could speak, the other party started to flirt casually.

"I'm sorry, we didn't come here to chat with you." Nini tidied up her long and messy hair, "Are you Dani's parent? We are also the parents of Dani's friends. The purpose of coming here is actually the same as yours. He also came here to guard his children."

Garen then glanced at these two people with a slightly serious expression.

"I'm sorry, I wrongly blamed you just now." He showed a hint of apology and stretched out his hand to shake hands with the two of them.

"My name is Nini. I am Shar's sister, the youngest one. Her name is Dylan, and she is the sister of the purple-haired girl with dark circles under her eyes." Nini introduced herself.

"Nice to meet two beauties." Garen smiled, "My name is Garen, and I am Dany's cousin."

"Feel the same."

The three of them sat down next to each other and asked the bartender for three drinks of their choice. While guarding the little guys on the dance floor, they chatted casually.
