[Extra 83. What is intolerable (10)]
White statues carved from a single piece of large stone stand in the hall and are displayed along certain arcs and angles. The largest sculpture is three to four meters high;
well-made, exquisitely made and gorgeously detailed metal decorations hang on the walls. Some are shield-like decorations, some are pure works of art, and most of them can’t be described as beautiful, but they seem to be of high quality.
Joyner squinted her eyes and saw a painting hanging above the stage in the center of the hall.
There are several standing figures on the screen. The main one is an old man, holding a strange prop like a branch in his hand. He is telling others something. It looks very similar to the religious paintings of the past.
Joyner didn’t pay much attention to the content of the painting. She shrugged her nose and turned her eyes elsewhere.
The smoke from the burning mixture of rosin and spices filled the hall. Along with the smoke, the psychedelic light shines through from several pieces of colored glass above the head. The light and shadow occasionally change, making people feel like they have entered some kind of scented dream.
Tables made of huge logs were arranged in rows. Drinks were spilled on the tables, exuding a strong smell of alcohol.
Each table was filled with men and women with inflated desires, all chatting and laughing, and dressed in flashy and exaggerated clothes. It seemed that everyone had become a passer-by in someone else’s life, closely intertwined in the warp and weft of life.
The noisy sound continued from the corridor to the depths of the hall.
Everything in front of me feels very outrageous, as if the slums outside have nothing to do with the people here, and they all seem to be living in a dream.
What surprised Joyner the most was that there was a slowly flowing circular “brook” on both sides of the hall.
This “stream” seems to be artificially arranged and turned into a strange-shaped water channel, winding from the second floor of wooden platforms to the surroundings of the hall.
There is inexhaustible drinking water flowing in the “stream”. Several exquisite small wooden barrels float on the stream from time to time. Every guest can drink water from here effortlessly.
Of course, customers prefer the drinks.
Not only because alcohol can make them more interested, but also because clean water is completely free here – unlike in the market, no one in Hime Hall likes free things.
Joyner watched carefully in the corner and stood there for a long time.
She wasn’t completely unfamiliar with the seemingly luxurious things inside the building. For example, those white sculptures that look a bit ancient and those exquisite metal decorations are obviously decorations placed in the lobby of luxury hotels in previous eras.
But the careful imitation of these people is fully exposed here.
Joyner guessed that humans in this era dug out the works of art from the past, scrubbed them clean, and polished them until they were shiny, but only restored part of their original appearance. At the same time, people here regard them as treasures or replicas of the luxurious life of the past.
So, based on Joyner’s memory, she quickly guessed what the building’s predecessor was.
“Excuse me, what can I do for you?”
A waiter looked at Joyner’s dress, was slightly surprised, and took the initiative to come over and ask.
“No need, I’m just strolling around.”
Joyner hid her face in the shadows and spoke in a low voice.
The waiter hit a soft spot, but still refused to give up with a smile on his face and said, “Then let me find you a table, or order some drinks? No matter what you like, we provide it here, and our service It’s always been good and has a good reputation. If you want to try something unusual, we can also…”
“No, I’m not here to play, so don’t worry about me.” Joyner interrupted the other party with a stiff expression. Go on.
She just wanted to investigate in secret and didn’t want to attract too much attention, so she declined the waiter politely.
“Take it and go away.” She casually tipped the waiter a rupee and sent him away.
The waiter lowered his head and immediately widened his eyes.

was shocked when he saw Joyner casually giving him such a large sum of money.
These waiters serve a lot of customers on weekdays, and all of them have become very discerning.
He immediately understood what Joyner meant: the people who came here to have fun, regardless of whether they were men or women, were wealthy people, and the gatekeeper would not let them in if they had no money. Moreover, many people come here secretly, and they may be dressed like this to hide themselves from others.
So the waiter didn’t ask any more questions, bowed respectfully, saluted, and walked away.
Joyner leaned against the wall alone and looked at everything in front of her.
It seems that there are quite a lot of guests here who spend a lot of money, and there is a faint sweet smell and the color of extravagance everywhere.
Singing, dancing, carnival, noise, moaning and debauchery are the basic mood here. This is the paradise for the rich in Hidden Sand Castle.
Joyner saw that in order to create a sense of mystery and more vigorous desire, several slim singers were covered with veils, twisting their limbs on the circular stage on the first floor, with the rhythm of heartbeats. Make bold provocative moves from time to time.
The light reflected slightly on their skin, leaving beautiful curves every moment, but the guests in the hall paid little attention to them.
Joyner guessed that the strong fragrance here might be to cover up the smell of human body.
Because in addition to the fragrance, she also smelled a sour taste. She saw pairs of figures twisting in the dark corners under the swaying candlelight, actually not shying away from doing things that made people blush, heartbeat, and reverie.
Everyone was busy having fun, and no one cared about Joyner’s appearance.
At this time, a potbellied and drunk man came to Joyner. He had an obscene smile on his face, staggered in his steps, and actually reached out directly to touch Joyner’s body.
“Get out of the way.”
Joyner shouted, and the man shrank his head timidly, but did not move his feet.
Joyner sighed, stretched out her arm, twisted the man’s arm, and drew a semi-arc back and forth in front of her.
Immediately afterwards, he took advantage of the situation and pulled it down. With a flick of his other hand, the man fell face down on the table.
“Wow -“
The man’s stomach suddenly turned upside down, and he vomited all over the floor soon after.
This kind of drunk guy often appears, and the hall is in a mess, everyone is busy with their own entertainment, so few people notice this scene.
Even if they see it, they will quickly turn their heads indifferently and not care.
Joyner took care of the man, quickly covered her nose and walked away.
The purpose of her coming here was to find traces of the bandits and see what they were doing here. But after entering, those people disappeared, and then she was attracted by the environment in the Hime Pavilion, and unknowingly wasted time.
However, Joyner also realized that her outfit was completely inconsistent with the environment here, and it was very strange at first glance.
So she simply took off her headscarf and cloak, revealing her loose red hair.
Joyner looked around, found a gorgeous tablecloth nearby, easily tore half of it, made it into a skirt, and tied it into a button around her waist.
This way she looks less shabby, but dressed like a dancer.
