Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#123 - Dilapidated tavern

When the midnight clock struck again, and the slender hand pointed to the new day, the system's prompt also arrived as scheduled.

"Ding~! The time for the third trial in the worlds has arrived. Host, do you want to enter immediately?"

Looking at the five pairs of eyes staring at him unblinkingly, Liang Yue waved goodbye to them before confirming in his heart.

"Enter!"

In an instant, this guy disappeared directly in front of everyone.

"Ding~! Command confirmed, randomly selecting plane coordinates. The trial plane the host will enter this time is... The Hobbit world."

In an instant, at the zero point where light and darkness intersected.

Unlike the previous two times, Liang Yue was not directly sent into the trial world, but came to a space that seemed to be in complete stillness.

This guy was currently maintaining an awkward posture, floating there in a state of weightlessness.

Everything around him seemed to have solidified, and no matter how Liang Yue struggled, he couldn't move even half an inch.

His eyes were wide open unconsciously, but he could only see a trace of light and shadow floating in front of him for a very brief moment.

At this moment, only his thoughts were free, not bound by the surrounding abnormal environment, trying hard to break through this shackle, but it was so powerless.

"Ding~! Detecting that the host possesses a 'Designated Identity Scroll', which can have a certain impact on this trial in the worlds. Host, do you want to use this scroll?"

"'Designated Identity Scroll'... I see! But~ this scroll, can it allow me to completely decide my identity in that world?"

Although Liang Yue was maintaining a static posture at this time, his thoughts were unusually active, and in just an instant, he thought of many things.

"The 'Designated Identity Scroll' can, to a certain extent, allow the host to decide their identity in that world, but the identity selected by the host cannot be a major character who drives the plot development of that plane.

Nor can you set your identity as a race other than human, otherwise, what the host will get will only be identity information as a disguise, and will not have the corresponding bloodline and body."

"As expected~! But this is not difficult to understand. If I could really decide any identity, I would directly set myself as Smaug or Gandalf, and that would be lively~

I decide~ not to use the identity scroll for now!"

"Ding~! Command confirmed, plane transfer continues."

As the system's voice fell, before Liang Yue could make any reaction, the originally blurred scene in front of him became clear in an instant.

The originally silent surroundings also suddenly began to become noisy.

Immediately afterwards, a piece of unfamiliar information suddenly appeared out of thin air, and various images and private scenes flashed in his mind from time to time.

Subsequently, the system's prompt followed closely.

"Ding~! Identity information loaded, system tasks have been issued, please check in time."

"Ding~! The monthly lottery benefits have been refreshed, please pay attention to check."

...

"Hey~! Kid who claims to be from the Eastern world, what's wrong~ Didn't you just say you were going to slay a dragon? Now a cup of rum has made you unconscious?"

"Better drunk! I think the armor he's wearing is not bad, I guess it should be worth some money!"

"The inner lining is also good, that seems to be the legendary silk~"

"Hmm~! This kid looks very tender, his face is delicate and smooth, could it be a woman disguised as a man?"

"Hmm? Now that you mention it, hehe hehe~ Let me test his quality!"

A thick, calloused hand suddenly reached in front of Liang Yue's drooping hair, the wrinkled skin faintly carrying a fishy stench, as if he hadn't washed his hands for months.

During the process, this hand paused slightly, seemingly testing or wary of something, but then suddenly split its five fingers and grabbed at his hair.

However, just as the other party's finger was about to touch him, Liang Yue finally woke up from his daze.

Subconsciously reaching out, as fast as lightning, he grabbed the other party's wrist in his hand, no matter how hard the other party tried, they couldn't break free.

At this time, Liang Yue slowly raised his head, and curiously looked around through the hair in front of his forehead.

At this time, the place where he was should be a bar.

Typical Western medieval tavern design, at least~ very similar to the scenes in the film and television works that this guy had seen before.

The tavern was dimly lit, the facilities were old, and the sound was noisy, with rude curses and laughter filling the surroundings.

The air faintly exuded a sour smell mixed with alcohol.

Most of the people at the tables were men with dark clothes, messy hair, and ferocious faces, holding wine glasses in their hands, drinking heartily, but also placing their respective weapons beside them.

Or axes, or longswords and daggers~

Of course, these were just the most ordinary goods in the tavern. Those characters who really couldn't be provoked usually sat in the most inconspicuous corner positions, or in dimly lit places.

Wearing black and gray cloaks, completely sinking their eyes into the shadows, giving people a sense of mystery.

But the gleam that occasionally flashed in their pupils, and the fine armor that was inadvertently exposed through the wide corners of their clothes, reflecting the metallic luster under the dim light,

Or, a delicate pattern and emblem revealed on the sleeves, could not be underestimated.

Just right to show the surrounding masses their uniqueness...

These common routines in European and American film and television dramas were now displayed in front of Liang Yue's eyes one by one~

Of course, in comparison, Liang Yue seemed to be the most conspicuous one in this tavern.

At this time, he was also wearing a wide black cloak, inside was a silver half-body breastplate, inlaid with delicate patterns, and the lower half of his body also had delicate shin guards protecting his legs and knees.

The rest of the joint parts were wrapped in soft and tough leather, which fit the body very well, but did not restrict his movements.

In addition, inside this armor and leather, there was also a flamboyant big red loose robe, with a cloak of the same texture hanging behind him.

However, the material was not the silk in the mouths of those people with no eyesight~

Through his own personal experience, Liang Yue felt that the texture of this robe was very soft, and it was also very friendly to the skin, but it did not have the obvious smooth touch of silk products.

Based on his past experience in wearing clothes, this should be a blend...

Coupled with his jet-black, shiny, and faintly sandalwood-scented half-length hair, and that face that was obviously much whiter and more handsome than the surrounding people.

Frankly speaking, with Liang Yue's current cosplay-style appearance, it's no wonder people would come looking for trouble.

Isn't this obviously a fat sheep? Don't you understand the principle of not revealing your wealth?

Once you can successfully take this guy down, the value of this outfit alone is enough for people to eat idle rice for three to five years!
