My timeless tavern

Chapter 511 Newcomer Girl
In a small town in the West.

The heavy snow had stopped, and thick piles of snow were piled up on both sides of the road.

It’s only been a few days since Christmas and the New Year is coming soon.

Jin was changing his clothes.

After trying on several sets, she finally chose the right one.

Standing in front of the mirror and gesturing, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

Mother Peg looked on with a smile and asked, "Have you accepted him?"

“He’s a very nice guy,” Kim said. “He’s a great date.”

"I think so," Peg said with a mischievous smile, "so will you come back tonight?"

"Mom!" Jin Buyi said.

Peg smiled and raised her finger to signal her husband to be quiet as he was about to go out and wanted to say something.

Their daughter had finally recovered from her bad mood, and now that she had a new date, they couldn't fall behind.

Besides, she had seen that boy before. He was lively, cheerful and polite, much better than Jim at the beginning.

Fortunately, Jim died.

Although it wasn't quite right to think that way, she was glad.

Otherwise she would worry whether that narrow-minded and stubborn guy would pester their daughter.

The only pity is Edward...

Peg always felt a little sad when she thought of him.

Although many people still talk about Edward being a freak and a murderer, Peg never thinks so.

She was the first person in the town to see Edward.

He was a lonely and gentle child.

He is a robot.

It was precisely because of his inhuman identity that he was feared by others, so much so that Jim used a little conspiracy to cause the entire town to isolate and hate him.

She guessed that Edward was not dead.

She had seen Jin staring blankly at the castle many times in the past.

But she knew in her heart that only by forgetting all this could she protect Edward.

He is an outlier after all.

Even if he and his family could accept him, in the eyes of others, he could never get rid of the identity of a freak.

She felt Edward's affection.

He fell in love with his daughter.

This kind of love is destined to end in failure.

Peg couldn't do or say anything more.

People still have to look forward after all.

Suddenly, they heard a whistle outside. Peg laughed and shook her head as she saw Jin change his clothes and walk out with a smile on his face.

She stood at the door and saw Peg get into the car. A young and handsome figure appeared in the car window and waved at her. As he drove away, the smile on her face gradually faded.

"If Edward knew, he would be very sad, right?" Peg suddenly thought.

"But that's life," she sighed.

Just as she was about to look away, she suddenly saw a familiar figure standing on the corner of the street.

When Peg looked over, the man also looked over and then walked towards her.

As the other person got closer, his appearance became more and more obvious in her eyes.

Peg's eyes widened involuntarily.

He was very familiar with that face.

The difference is that the scars on that face have disappeared, and it is no longer as pale as before, but instead rosy and full of luster.

The man's clothes were also different from before. He was wearing a straight black suit that looked particularly well-fitting.

His hair was neatly groomed and he had a faint smile on his face.

Peg quickly looked at his hands.

When she saw that it was not a pair of sharp scissors but a pair of strong hands, she felt relieved but also a little disappointed.

Peg was full of doubts, but she saw the man stop in front of the house and smiled at her: "Mrs. Peg."

The familiar voice made Peg feel a little dazed.

"I am Edward." The man said the second sentence.

Peg's face changed drastically, and she said in disbelief: "You...you are really Edward?"

"Yes." Edward nodded.

He raised his left hand and said, "I am now a human being, a real person with flesh and blood!"

After he finished speaking, he turned to Peg and said, “I thought you would invite me in?”

"Ah, come in quickly!" Peg said hurriedly.

But her eyes never left Edward.

After being apart for so long, she found that Edward's appearance and temperament had changed a lot.

If she hadn't seen him in the past, she would have almost thought this was a real person.

She was still a little confused when she saw Edward put a gift box on the dining table.

When did Edward become so humane?

Hasn't this guy always been stupid?

When Edward looked at the house, his eyes fixed on the picture of his daughter, Peg opened her mouth several times, but each time it turned into a quiet sigh.

Edward suddenly turned his head and said, "She is still very beautiful."

Peg didn't know how to respond.

If she had just met Edward now, she would not object, and would even be happy to help him and her daughter get together.

But Edward is so special, and many people still remember him...

She was distraught.

"Yeah," said Peg.

She suddenly felt an impulse and said, "She is going on a date today, at..."

"I know." Edward interrupted her suddenly.

Peg was stunned.

"I saw her on Christmas Day," said Edward. "They were very well matched."

He showed up specially that day and prepared a bouquet of flowers.

Jin also saw him, his eyes were dull and flustered, and then he was kissed tightly in the boy's arms.

At that moment, Edward suddenly felt that he had understood.

He thought of what many of his friends in the tavern had told him.

He and Jin had only spent too little time together, and they were from two different worlds.

Knowledge, interests, personality...these are all very different.

Jin eventually left hand in hand with the boy.

She didn't look at him again.

Edward placed the bouquet of flowers in a vase he had picked up, and they all withered early this morning.

Looking at the silent Mrs. Peg, Edward suddenly went forward and hugged her.

Feeling the warm embrace, Mrs. Peg hugged him and her emotions were a little out of control for a moment: "I'm sorry, Edward..."

"No, I should thank you," Edward said seriously, "You have never done anything to let me down."

He patted Mrs. Peg's back gently, released her, and said, "I came here today to say goodbye."

"Goodbye?" Mrs. Peg wondered.

"I'm going on a long journey," Edward said. "My friend said that the world is big and I should go around and see it."

Peg wanted to say that his identity was not suitable, but when he saw his body that looked no different from that of a human, he finally did not say what was in his mind.

During this meeting, she found that Edward seemed to have become a living person.

Without his scissor hands, his temperament became no different from other people.

"Shouldn't you say I wish you a safe journey?" Edward asked with a smile.

"You've really changed." Peg couldn't help but say.

Edward smiled and said, "If you have a group of friends who chat with you from morning till night every day, you will be like me."

He was greatly influenced by the guests in the tavern.

The biggest change was that after a series of events in the town, he was afraid of people, but the people in the tavern completely changed his mind.

He would love to meet more people.

Declining Mrs. Peg's invitation to stay for dinner, he took his leave.

"I sold most of my father's inheritance, but the money I got was very limited. In the end, I could only buy two glasses of wine like this." Edward said before leaving. "If you want to become younger one day, you can drink one glass."

Peg wanted to ask more, but saw Edward had already strode away.

He was very fast and disappeared in a short while.

Peg withdrew her gaze and returned to the room.

She noticed that there was one picture missing from the wall.

It wasn't a solo photo of Jin, but a family photo.

She was dazed for a while and her eyes felt a little sore.

After rubbing her eyes and calming herself down, she looked at the box Edward brought.

She was so curious that she couldn't help but open the box.

There are two glasses of wine in the box, beautifully packaged.

Peg was increasingly surprised.

I didn't stay with Edward for long this time, but the fog around him seemed to be getting thicker.

She remembered Edward saying that his inventor father had died long ago.

The castle also became empty, but how did it become like this?
His hands were intact, and so was his suit...

Besides that, who are those friends he mentioned?

Are there many robots like him in the world?
Mrs. Peg hesitantly picked up a cup and unwrapped it.

The rich aroma of wine wafts into the air.

Even though she wasn't a big drinker, Peg couldn't help but swallow.

"Where did Edward find this wine? It smells so tempting."

She suddenly thought of Edward's words.

If you ever want to feel younger, drink a glass of this wine.

Drinking such delicious wine will definitely make you feel younger!

She hesitated for a moment and decided to drink the glass on the spot.

Anyway, I have nothing to do in the afternoon, so I just get drunk after one glass of wine, which is no big deal.

Peg convinced herself secretly, picked up the glass and brought it to her lips.

She sniffed it gently, looking intoxicated.

She took a small sip, and the aroma of the wine blossomed on the tip of her tongue, making her feel unprecedented satisfaction.

She held the wine glass and hummed a song.

Before I knew it, the glass of wine was empty.

Peg felt warm all over and more comfortable than ever before.

She didn't feel drunk, but she enjoyed the feeling of comfort.

She felt full of energy and really young.

She carefully put away the remaining glass of wine. She didn't want to tell anyone else about Edward's arrival.

It might be fine for others, but the relationship between him and his daughter Jin is really complicated.

She could understand Jin's choice.

Edward's kindness and innocence, his deep and selfless love for her, would undoubtedly move her.

It's not that Jin is indifferent to him, otherwise he wouldn't have been so depressed these days.

But the deeper her feelings for him, the more difficult it became for Jin to accept him.

Only when two souls are closer can they feel each other's differences more deeply.

His purity makes people feel ashamed.

His identity made Jin afraid to get close.

She's just an ordinary person.

Even if I give up everything to be with him, when my face ages and my blond hair turns white, he remains the same as before, that feeling is even more devastating.

This is love without a future.

Mrs. Peg felt depressed as she thought about this.

She put away the wine and passed the mirror.

When she accidentally saw the figure in the mirror, she was stunned.

She looked around quickly, and when she couldn't see anyone else, she hurried over to the mirror.

She raised her hand and touched her face.

The soft touch filled her with disbelief.

Could the person in the mirror who is the same size as my daughter be myself?
Mrs. Peg pinched her face, shook herself, took off her clothes again, and took a deep breath.

"No wonder... No wonder I feel so full of energy..."

"And what about Edward? The youth he mentioned actually looks like this..."

She suddenly thought of her daughter Jin.

If Edward really had this wine that made people younger, then would his earlier statement that he had become a real person also be true?
No, it must be true!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Peg picked up her clothes and ran out of the house.

She wants to find her daughter!
……

"Left town?" Professor X asked.

"Yes, the world outside is beautiful," said Edward.

"So you let her go?" Peter interrupted.

He can't give up his girlfriend.

Knowing that his good friend Harry was always eyeing her, he usually avoided quarreling with his girlfriend.

"Maybe." Edward's eyes were a little confused.

He touched his pounding heart and said, "I can't force her, and I have to be a real person first."

"A real person wants to get everything he likes!" Naruto, who was sitting next to him, turned around and said with a giggle.

"I heard that you like Haruno Sakura?" Tony blinked.

Sasuke immediately looked at Naruto with a bad look.

"Sakura is nothing." Naruto said.

Sasuke's expression grew colder.

Naruto smiled awkwardly and scratched his head, "Besides, we are just friends who like each other... Hey, a newcomer!"

Tony and the others, who were about to continue teasing him, heard the voice and looked in the direction Naruto pointed.

A young girl appeared in their sight.

The girl has silver hair and purple eyes, and is extremely beautiful.

She was wearing a white dress with some golden patterns on it, which made her look elegant and luxurious.

Her eyes were full of surprise and anxiety, and she was looking around curiously.

When they saw the newcomer clearly, everyone's eyes lit up.

Even Edward blinked.

He suddenly felt that Jin was not that pretty after all.

Tony stood up, coughed lightly, and was about to walk over, but he saw that Ghost Rider Johnny, who was near the bar, had already greeted him.

Johnny sat with Yan Chixia and Gus, and the three of them seemed to get along particularly well.

"Newcomer?" Johnny looked over curiously.

He felt a special power in the other person's body, which was not strong, but very interesting.

Yan Chixia also looked at the other party. Seeing him looking at him, he smiled and said, "Welcome to the Spacetime Tavern."

Gus nodded faintly and smiled.

Compared to dealing with people, he prefers to carry a big sword and fight with others.

"Thank you." Under the gaze of the three people, the girl nodded at them.

"We can chat if you don't mind," Johnny invited. "It looks like you're in trouble."

The girl hesitated, looked around, and finally walked towards them.
