"Hello, little one, would you like to live with me in the future?"

"Why did you choose me?"

"Probably because you have rare black hair and black eyes, and you sit alone and lonely...... Like me. ”

"Xia Zuo. ”

"My name is Melissa, please advise. ”

......

Crossing this kind of thing is something you will never believe until you experience it yourself.

Xia Zuo was just an ordinary college student in his previous life, and during a move, he found a rather interesting object.

A slate.

It's less than a quarter of Xia Zuo's palm.

One side is irregular and rough, and the other side is smooth and flat.

The smooth side has a shallow circular groove, but there is a notch that prevents the groove from joining into a ring.

Xia Zuo was still full of evil taste at the time, thinking about whether this would be his family's ancestral treasure, what extraordinary ability could he obtain by recognizing the Lord with blood, and become the protagonist of an urban novel.

But when he stared at the incomplete ring, he suddenly noticed that the ring seemed to spin.

In a trance, Xia Zuo traveled to another world.

Became an orphan to be adopted in an orphanage.

Relying on the incomplete and scarce memories of his predecessors, Xia Zuo discovers that the world is somewhat similar to pre-Industrial Europe.

But Xia Zuo looked at the children around him with colorful hair and pupils, and felt that he should no longer be on Earth.

It was precisely because Xia Zuo was out of place in his environment that Melissa felt something.

As a result, Xia Zuo was adopted by Melissa, who had just become an adult.

......

"Xia Zuo, your tenth birthday is just a few days away. ”

"yes, we've been living together for almost five years, Melissa. Xia Zuo sighed with some emotion.

Melissa suddenly appeared from behind Natsuzo and locked Natsuzo's neck with her arms.

"How many times have you said it, you want to call me Sister Melissa~Sister~"

"Ahem, got it, Melissa. ”

Xia Zuo only felt that the arms around his neck were tighter.

"Sister Melissa-sister-"

"That's pretty much it. Melissa heard her satisfying answer, and finally let go of her arm.

"It's not easy for you to call your sister a big ghost. When you're young, you look old-fashioned every day.,I wonder if you're some rune monster.。 ”

"Hey, almost. ”

"What is almost?"

"Nothing, by the way, Melissa, what do you know about runemasters?"

Melissa knocked Natsuzo on the head.

"Runemaster, too far away from us. If you have time to think about it, you might as well use your clever little brain melon and how to sell more wine. ”

"We're already the biggest tavern in town, Melissa. To be a man is to be content, to be content and happy. ”

"I've been content for a long time, but I think you have a wonderful idea in your head that could open the Melissa Tavern throughout the kingdom. ”

"I think I'm a rune genius. "Xia Zuo has been yearning for extraordinary power for a long time.

"The sun is going down. Melissa said suddenly.

This means that Melissa's Melissa Tavern is ready to welcome guests for the evening.

"This job is extremely unfriendly to minors like me, and I won't grow tall if I stay up until midnight every day. It's squeezing child labor!"

"You are only responsible for sitting and keeping accounts, where will you be tired, you have to take on adult work when you enjoy adult rights, who makes a little guy refuse to call her sister. ”

“......”

"Arrived early at the tavern in the evening, the guests came earlier these days. Melissa waved her hand and turned away.

When Xia Zuo arrived at the tavern, there were already guests coming.

"Jack two glasses of rye. ”

"Luca with a glass of rye wine. ”

"Custer with a glass of super rye. ”

Xia Zuo opened the ledger and recorded the consumption of the three of them. It was discovered that Luca was a loyal drinker at Melissa's Tavern, and that the reward system he had set up was just right.

"Oh, congratulations Luca, you've already spent a hundred copper coins at this tavern this year, and you can get a free Super Rye Combo. Xia Zuo said in the tone of the old man in the Hearthstone Tavern.

Less than four months have passed this year, and this drunkard has been coming almost every day, and finally achieved the goal of spending 100 copper coins.

There are only two kinds of liquor in the Melissa Tavern, rye and super rye, the latter of which is just a distillation method used by Xia Zuo to purify the rye wine from his previous life.

Even so, it is the best wine in several surrounding towns.

Rye wine only costs three copper coins, while Super rye wine costs seven copper coins.

Why is it so expensive, asking is a monopoly.

"Hurry up and bring me my super rye, I can't wait. Lukka drank the rye wine from his glass.

"Coming, coming, super rye wine and two pieces of corned beef. ”

This is known as the Super Rye Wine Package.

The cups here are all wooden, and the wooden strips cut into a certain shape are hooped together by iron sheets, which are durable and have a large capacity, and the cup is about one and a half liters in the previous life.

Although the alcohol content of the liquor is not high, the people here can really drink it.

"Melissa, three barrels of Super Rye wine!"

Locke and his party of seven poured in from the door of the tavern.

They are a well-known hunting group in the town, hunting wild beasts to make money, and are also responsible for driving away wild beasts that destroy crops and hurt people.

It has a small reputation in several nearby towns.

"Three barrels, super rye?" Melissa was a little surprised.

There are about twelve or thirteen glasses in a barrel, and the price of a barrel is calculated according to ten glasses.

Three barrels of Super Rye cost two hundred and ten copper coins, which is two silver coins and ten copper coins.

Locke tossed a small cloth bag on the table in front of him, full of silver coins.

"Congratulations, you've made a fortune, Locke. Melissa beckoned for the others to bring up three barrels of Super Rye wine.

"I'll give you some corned beef for free. ”

"Whahaha, thank you, Melissa. ”

Both Xia Zo and Melissa were a little curious about the reason for Locke's sudden wealth.

But no one asked, because after a while, the wine was almost drunk, and it was time to brag. This kind of thing that can earn enough face, Locke will definitely not let it go.

After all, Melissa's Tavern is one of the few places in town to socialize.

"Wha, drink hard, I'm going to drink all the wine here tonight. Locke said loudly with a red face.

Xia Zuo, who knew Locke's character, also turned his attention to it, Locke's sudden wealth was already known to everyone, after all, a bag of silver coins was still hanging on his table.

"Locke, don't hide it, if you have a good story, tell it. Custer ordered another glass of super rye and three pieces of corned beef. As a businessman who travels from town to town, Custer is undoubtedly one of the richest and most knowledgeable people present.

"Haha, of course. Locke took another long sip.

"When I was hunting in Mount Cahill, I came across a windy deer, and it ran like the wind, but it was no faster than my bow and arrow, and it dodged two of my arrows, but unfortunately it did not miss my third arrow, which was poisoned. ”

"No prey will escape from my hands if it is hit by my arrows. ”

Custer smiled when he heard this.

"You owe it to Lady Luck to thank you. ”

"After all, there's nothing more harmless than a runebeast like a wind deer. Custer shrugged.

"Of course I do, Custer. ”

"If I met a wolf, I would turn around and run away from even one. ”

"You still don't understand why I'm happy. ”

Locke stood up.

"As you know, I've awakened the rune talent a long time ago, and my talent, Flame Surge, can increase the damage of the fire elemental rune, but it can only fuse the fire elemental rune. ”

"I exchanged the rune of the Wind Deer for the rune of the Flame Wolf, the Flame Blast. ”

"And the fusion succeeded......"

"That is, I, Locke, am now a real runemaster!"

The people in the tavern were already stunned, only Custer was calm, after all, runemasters only existed in stories to them.

"Do you want to see the power of the Runemaster?" Locke said with a smug laugh.

"Go outside, you can't do it here. ”

Locke stood in a clearing outside Melissa's tavern, a fiery red pattern suddenly appeared on his chest, and a circle of runes appeared around the pattern.

Locke placed his hands on the fiery red pattern and moved it to the top of his head.

The circle of runes around the pattern became unusually bright.

Locke burst into applause.

"Flame Blast!"

A fireball with a diameter of one meter flew out of the pattern and flew into the night sky.

The fireball flew about fifteen meters before exploding.

The bright light of the fire stimulated everyone's eyes, but no one closed their eyes.

This is the runemaster using the power of runes.

Xia Zuo was also a little excited and yearning, staring at the bursting fireball in the night sky.

Extraordinary power, extraordinary world, how can it not be desirable.

Behind Xia Zuo, Melissa sighed and returned to the tavern.
