Three Towers Game

Chapter 1433: Chapter 459: Psychological Manipulation (Part 2)

...

...

The food in the small tavern, I must say, is really strange. The food of the entire Jicheng doesn’t suit Wen Xishu’s taste.

Wen Xishu can only drink alcohol.

Jicheng is not lively at midnight. After all, this is the time when the strange tales come alive.

It is indeed rare to find shops still daring to do business at this time.

Upon Wen Xishu’s arrival, the bartender even recognized Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu was amazed by this person’s memory.

But the tavern, along with its patrons, were all ordinary people.

At this time, there were no other customers; Wen Xishu was chatting with the owner of the small tavern.

”You... aren’t you afraid of encountering something by staying open at this hour?”

”Afraid, of course, I used to be very afraid, but now I think, if a city does have monsters appearing, aren’t the people in this city unhappy?”

The owner’s attitude was very indifferent.

Wen Xishu showed a gesture of inquiry.

The owner said:

”Weren’t the old movies always like this?”

”In horror films, there’s always someone who becomes a ghost after being persecuted.”

”In disaster films, it’s always because the environment or something is destroyed, and then monsters appear.”

”Even now, sometimes Jicheng’s air is filled with a scent of longing and unfulfillment.”

”I’m thinking, if one day, this city is destined to be taken over by monsters, how should I live then?”

”Perhaps, doing business with monsters isn’t a bad idea either. Monsters... they just become stronger, but their hearts are still human, right?”

Wen Xishu admired greatly:

”Did you come to this understanding yourself?”

The owner shook his head:

”No, not at all, it was something a customer told me not long ago.”

Wen Xishu asked:

”What is the name of this customer?”

The owner gave a name that made Wen Xishu laugh:

”William Hawker.”

Wen Xishu couldn’t help but chuckle.

To alter history suggests William Hawker has entered the Desire Tower.

This lad truly listens to advice, he’s already climbing the Desire Tower and has even anchored a new history for a certain task in Jicheng.

Otherwise, the owner wouldn’t remember these words.

Wen Xishu said:

”He’s quite a remarkable figure, I’ve heard of him.”

The owner was slightly surprised:

”Really?”

”Of course it is true. I have high hopes for you; perhaps in the future, you might run a big business, making it the Peace Restaurant spoken of in strange tales.” Wen Xishu said with a smile.

The owner was even more surprised:

”Oh! Guest, so you really have met him, he said so too.”

It was Wen Xishu’s turn to be surprised:

”He said that too?”

The owner said:

”Mr. Hawker said that if possible, in the future he plans to open a special restaurant, providing all kinds of services for both monsters and humans. Whether they are monsters or humans, once they enter the restaurant, they must coexist peacefully.”

”I suppose the Peace Restaurant you mentioned is this concept?”

Wen Xishu had to admit, William Hawker is indeed... quite interesting.

”Yes.”

Just at that moment, a dark blue energy suddenly surged forth.

The fragrance of a young woman came along with the energy, and also reached Wen Xishu’s senses.

The owner remained still and unmoved.

Wen Xishu sighed:

”You could have come a little earlier or later—we were having such a pleasant conversation.”

Pisces said coldly:

”Don’t think that because I gave you a gift, you are on my side.”

”I can’t help you with this task; not killing you is already a great mercy of mine.”

Wen Xishu laughed:

”The Cosmetic Surgery Family, I will definitely deal with them. But I won’t rely on your power.”

”Rest assured, I only sought you out to ask about other matters.”

Pisces foresaw:

”Sagittarius? He has already been captured.”

Wen Xishu was greatly shocked:

”Captured? Who could capture him? That Unknowable?”

Could an Outer God truly possess power greater than the constellations?

Pisces shook her head:

”It was Leo; Sagittarius faced what you call the Unknowable and couldn’t inflict harm and summoned Leo for assistance.”

Wen Xishu didn’t understand:

”Didn’t I already ask someone long ago to warn them to guard against that Unknowable?”

Pisces said:

”You didn’t think an Outer Domain expert would just turn into waste if you saw through the mechanism, did you?”

”Granted, he went from being Unknowable to being called the ’Lord of Secrets’ by people, but what of it? Without further intelligence, he remains mysterious.”

Wen Xishu understood.

Indeed... if someone’s golden finger is mystery itself.

Then before being fully unveiled, they always have a sense of mystery.

Pisces also sighed slightly:

”The intelligence you provided is very important, making us realize there are some in the dark corners of the world daring to scheme against us.”

”But this intelligence indeed did not change Archer’s fate. He became Leon’s captive.”

”This is information confirmed, transmitted to me by my future self.”

”Leon will kill Archer. If it were Sirius, Qilin, or Martial Immortal who died, the power boost to Leon might not necessarily be despairing.”

”But if Sagittarius were to die, it is hard to imagine the extent of Leon’s enhancement.”

”In the future, there will be a war to rescue Sagittarius.”

”You might experience this war soon.”

”It might even be initiated by you.”

This series of statements from Pisces completely left Wen Xishu at a loss for words.

Wen Xishu remembered, that ”memory of the future.”

Scorpio utilized Sirius’s geographical advantage to create a special chessboard.

Then himself, the old principal, and others entered the chessboard to compete against Leo’s legion.

That battle might really be approaching.
