Chapter 733: 25 Mora's beer?

Chapter 733: 25 Mora's beer?

The next day, the shooting officially began.

Thanks to the guidance of two professionals, Clorinde and Chavore, the filming went extremely smoothly and Shao Yun was not needed at all.

So Shao Yun sat contentedly on a chair nearby, leisurely eating Fontaine's specialty food - fish and chips, and occasionally having a few sips of drink.

Just as Shao Yun was enjoying this rare leisure time, Ying, pregnant with a big belly, slowly walked over.

She looked at Shao Yun's comfortable appearance and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Husband, what are you doing here?"

Shao Yun raised the corner of his mouth, pointed at the scene where the filming was taking place, and replied disapprovingly: "Watching the show, what's wrong?"

Ying looked at Shao Yun's nonchalant expression and couldn't help but complain, "Is this why you invited Clorinde and Xiawolei over? You are just having a good time here."

After listening to Ying's words, Shao Yun slowly put down the fries in his hand, and then said seriously: "Leave professional matters to professionals."

"I'll just sit here and be lazy, and besides, isn't it enough for Paimon to be happy?"

Ying looked at Paimon who was having a lot of fun with the slapboard and chuckled, "Well... Paimon really likes the slapboard."

……

Only people like Shao Yun and Ying who have money but nowhere to spend it would spend one or two hundred million just to play with a clapperboard.

If it were someone else's family, they would have stewed Paimeng as an emergency food long ago.

……

After that, there wasn't really any change, because Kamisato Ayato really couldn't act out that feeling, so they had to replace her.

I originally wanted to choose Shao Yun, but just as Shao Yun guessed in his heart yesterday, his aura is even more inconsistent than Kamisato Ayato! I really can't act out that kind of young innocence.

And Shao Yun is too strong, you said he was playing a child? He is eight years old!

So, Kamisato Ayato, Xavier and Finina discussed it, and finally, they asked Xiawolei to play the role of the brother.

So, "The Two Gunslingers" was adapted from brother and sister to sisters.

……

In a blink of an eye, the first day of filming came to an end.

After finishing the scene where the protagonist's mother was poisoned, Funina shouted, "Cut! Today's filming was perfect!"

This word "perfect" is the best compliment to the entire crew for a day's hard work.

Shao Yun, who had been watching silently all day, couldn't help but ask, "I see the progress is really fast. Today, they filmed the death of the protagonist's mother. Are the sisters going to start their escape journey next?"

Funina nodded and explained, "Yes, after all, the filming time is limited, so I deleted some scenes that tell about the warm family life. It is enough for the audience to know the relationship between mother and daughter."

Shao Yun said "Oh" thoughtfully.

……

After the shooting, Xia Wole quickly changed back into her clothes, then walked straight to Shao Yun and asked softly, "Mr. Shao Yun, do you have time now?"

Shao Yun looked at Xia Wo Lei and asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

Xiawolei answered simply and clearly: "Can you accompany me to the Gray River?"

Hearing this, Shao Yun was confused. Gray River?

He couldn't help but wonder why Xiawolei asked him to accompany her to that place?

"Me? Accompany you to Huihe? For what?" Shao Yun asked.

Xia Volei did not put it directly, but expressed it in a tactful way: "Just consider it as my reward to you, plus I'm treating you to a drink, is this reason sufficient enough?"

Shao Yun knew very well that Xia Wole must have noticed that the scenes in the novel had too many similarities with those murders.

However, although he helped during the Les case, he was not the kind of detective who investigated the case! He was the one who took action!

More importantly, he didn't want to deal with those messy things at all.

"Can I not go? I have to take care of Ying..." Shao Yun refused without any concealment.

But just as he finished speaking, Ying suddenly came over and persuaded him, "Shao Yun, just go. It's just right, I want to accompany Xiao Gong and Ling Hua to stroll around Fontaine."

"You've been sitting here all day. Aren't you bored?"

Shao Yun turned to look at Ying, who was pregnant, and gently pinched her nose with his hand. He smiled and said, "You don't have to work so hard to help me expand my social circle."

Ying slapped away Shao Yun's hand that was pinching her nose, and explained with good intentions: "I'm just worried that you'll be too bored..."

Under Ying's persuasion, Shao Yun finally agreed to Xia Wole's commission.

"Okay..." He sighed helplessly.

Then, Shao Yun repeatedly reminded: "Ying, you girls should have fun. If you have any problems, call our butler Yuanshang."

……

Because Ying said that she didn't need Shao Yun to accompany her, Shao Yun acted with Xia Wole.

They came to the underground city of Fontaine, Grey River.

Shao Yun looked at this city built on the sewer and couldn't help but frown.

There was a damp smell in the air that made him feel uncomfortable no matter how many times he did it.

"Gray River... This place feels more humid than before. Is it my illusion?" Shao Yun said to himself.

The damp smell made his nose feel uncomfortable.

The two continued to move forward and finally arrived at a tavern next to the Rose Thorn Society headquarters.

When the bartender Taito saw Xiawolei coming in, he smiled and said jokingly, "Isn't this Xiawolei? What? You were kicked out of the special training team and are back to Gray River to make a living?"

Xia Wo Lei was not angry, and responded: "Don't worry, the only reason I left the special training team was because I was exhausted by the huge amount of reports I had to fill out, not because I was fired."

Taito heard this and burst into laughter.

Then, he asked routinely, "What would you like to drink? Let me see if you, Xiawolei, have not lived up there for too long and are not used to our Gray River drinks."

Xia Wole shook her head, pointed at Shao Yun who was sitting next to her, and said, "No, I'm here to treat Mr. Shao Yun to a drink, and I'm here to inquire about something."

When Shao Yun heard that Xia Wole wanted to treat him to Huihe's wine, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

He was deeply impressed by the wine sold by Huihe. The smell of sewer was so strong that it was almost unpalatable.

So, he declined without hesitation: "No, thank you, I still can't get used to Gray River's wine."

However, Xia Wo Lei did not seem to take Shao Yun's refusal seriously, and continued to suggest: "Mr. Shao Yun, are you sure you don't want a glass of beer worth 250,000 Mora?"

When Shao Yun heard the price, his eyes widened and he looked at Xia Wole with suspicion.

Two hundred and fifty thousand Mora? And it was beer?

"What beer costs 250,000 molas? (Five dollars)"

Seeing this, Xia Wole smiled slightly, snapped her fingers, and said confidently: "Don't worry, this wine will definitely not kill you, and it's my treat, you don't have to worry at all."

Shao Yun felt more and more that something was wrong. What kind of beer was this? How could it be worth 250,000 Mora?

You are not using this as an excuse to bribe, are you? If you want to bribe and buy off people, just do it openly and nothing will be said about it.

"Okay then, give me a cup. Even if it's horse urine, I want to taste it." Shao Yun said.

Shao Yun watched the bartender pour him a large glass of bubbling yellow beer. He looked left and right. How was this different from ordinary beer?

"This beer is really just beer, just ordinary beer."

While Shao Yun was commenting on the beer, Xia Wole was whispering with the bartender.

Their conversation was very quiet, and Shao Yun could only vaguely hear some key words, such as "I have a favor to ask you" and "collecting intelligence".

The bartender Tito understood what Xiawolei meant. He nodded, then turned and left the counter to help Xiawolei.

Seeing this, Shao Yun casually asked, "Is the bribery over?"

Xiawolei quickly shook her head and denied it: "This is not a bribe. I just paid for you to buy a beer."

Seeing Xia Wolei being so stubborn, Shao Yun couldn't help but roll his eyes at her and said, "Unless this wine was brewed by Funina with her saliva, it's definitely not worth the price."

When Xiawolei heard this, a disgusted expression appeared on her face, and she responded: "What you said is so disgusting..."

However, Shao Yun ignored Xia Wole's reaction. His attention was attracted by the counter that was vacant after the bartender left.

Then without saying a word, he went to the counter and started looking for some wine that looked drinkable.

"It seems that the bartender has helped you collect information. So, how about a drink?"

Xiawolei shook her head and said, "I don't like drinking. Just give me a bottle of Fontaine."

……

After drinking two glasses of beer, Shao Yun and Xia Wole also started chatting.

Xia Wole shared her background with Shao Yun.

In fact, there is nothing else to say. Xia Wole was also born in Huihe. She worked hard all the way and became the captain of the special training team.

While listening, Shao Yun absentmindedly fiddled with the wine glass in his hand. As for Xia Wole's words, they went in one ear and out the other, and he didn't really hear much.

However, when Xia Wole suddenly mentioned the light novel "The Gunslinger from Fontaine", Shao Yun's attention was slightly drawn back.

"I feel like I'm very similar to the protagonist in that novel. We both come from Gray River," Xiawolei continued. "The only difference is that he became a demon who kills people without blinking an eye, while I became a captain of a special training team who doesn't care about details."

Shao Yun nodded perfunctorily and responded casually: "Oh, I see. By the way, would you like some more Fengda?"

As he spoke, Shao Yun opened another bottle of Fengda and handed it to Xia Wole.

Just then, the bartender Taito came back and his appearance interrupted the conversation between the two.

"I'm back, Xiawolei," Taito said to Xiawolei, "I have obtained all the information you want."

When Xia Wulei saw the bartender coming back, her eyes lit up.

Then, she immediately turned to Shao Yun and said, "Okay, Mr. Shao Yun, you can go now."

Shao Yun couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw this. Xia Wole was too direct. She wanted to kick him out as soon as the information came in.

But he was not angry. Instead, he showed a playful smile and teased: "Why, are you using me as a shield for bribery?"

Xia Wulei did not hide it at all. She nodded openly and admitted, "Yes, so is the beer delicious?"

As soon as Shao Yun heard this, he understood what Xia Wo Lei meant. She was telling him that this trouble would not involve him.

So, Shao Yun smiled tactfully and said, "I understand. I'll take my leave now. I wish you all the best in your secret operation."

After saying that, Shao Yun stood up and left.

……

A house on the heights northwest of Fontaine.

Shao Yun had just returned home, and before he had time to enter the house, he saw a figure standing at the door, greeting him respectfully.

"Welcome home, Mr. Shao Yun." The figure spoke in a low and gentle voice.

Shao Yun looked carefully and found that it was his butler "Yuan Shang".

He looked at Yuan Shang and said jokingly, "Hello, our good housekeeper."

When Yuan Shang heard Shao Yun's words, he immediately lowered his head humbly and said, "Haha, Mr. Shao Yun, you really humble me."

Shao Yun smiled and stopped teasing Yuan Shang. Instead, he looked at the house and asked casually, "Where are Ying and Paimeng? Are they back?"

Yuanshang nodded and said, "You're back. Apart from these two, Miss Xiaogong and Miss Linghua are here. They are sitting at the dining table waiting for you to come back."

……

Shao Yun pushed open the door and saw the scene inside the house at a glance.

As Yuan Shang said, Ying, Paimon, Xiao Gong and Kamisato Ayaka were sitting around the dining table, having been waiting for him for a long time.

Shao Yun walked into the room with a smile on his face and greeted everyone.

"Ying, Paimon, I'm back!".

When Paimeng heard Shao Yun's voice, he immediately put down his knife and fork and said excitedly: "Welcome, welcome! We have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Shao Yun responded to Paimeng with a smile, then turned to Shenli Linghua and Xiao Gong, nodded and greeted: "Shenli Linghua, and Xiao Gong, hello!"

Xiao Gong showed her energetic smile and responded enthusiastically: "Hello, Shao Yun! Ying invited us to dinner, we were just chatting and waiting for you to come back and have dinner together!"

Shenli Linghua seemed more quiet. She looked at Shao Yun with a smile, her eyes fell on Yuan Shang who was beside Shao Yun, and asked curiously: "By the way, Mr. Shao Yun, is your housekeeper... an Inazuma?"

Yuan Shang, who was beside Shao Yun, heard Kamisato Ayaka's question, slightly pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and then answered in a standard Inazuma accent:

"(My private name is Yuan Shang, Haji Island's の者です.) My lower name is Yuan Shang, and I am a person from Haji Island."

Xiao Gong was surprised when he heard Yuan Shang's answer. He said with emotion: "Oh, so that's how it is! I thought he would be like the old butler of a big manor in the novels."

Yuan Shang smiled and nodded, then said: "Since everyone is here, let's serve the food."
