Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Moonlight Tavern
on the streets of Huttonmar.
Seliya and Rimuru were happily eating marshmallows.
It's been a day since the two of them arrived in Huttonmar.
During the day, they had a pleasant lunch together and walked through an entire food street.
How does this look like dating?
But Rimuru and Selia, who are the protagonists, have no such consciousness at all.
I've forgotten all about inquiring about Sky City.
Now they're in the Moonlight Tavern, and they're drinking to kill their sorrows.
"I patronized and played during the day, and I forgot to inquire about Sky City, what should I do now, who should we go to?"
Celia took a bite of the marshmallow, looking a little depressed.
This world is completely different from the game world.
Only the Elwyn Line is similar to the one in the game, just a small village.
But when he came to Huttonmar, he found out.
A small map in the game has expanded dozens of times here!
As the capital of the Duchy of Maar, Huttonmar is a very prosperous area.
Rimuru was almost dizzy here.
Coupled with the flow of people outside, Rimuru really didn't know where to go on the West Coast.
The city in the sky, I haven't heard anyone mention it here.
For the first time, he felt that the information he knew in his previous life was of no use here.
And there is one more important point.
That is, here, you can't see those very famous NPCs in your previous life.
Although they all lived here, even Limulu was on the street and saw the cultivation dojo and the Great Sanctuary of Remidia.
But these buildings are either exempted from entry by idlers or guarded by guards.
It's impossible to get in and out as casually as in the game.
The 'Moonlight Tavern' he was currently staying in was the only place he knew from his previous life and could come and go at will.
It's just that Sosia, the owner of the hotel, is not here.
The old elf didn't know where he had gone.
The tavern currently runs here is a human girl.
"Friends, tonight's ring battle is about to begin!
Please prepare for the battle, the Moonlight Tavern will be available in unlimited quantities of drinks and snacks! ”
"Oh!!"
"Oh!!"
"Is this about to start, it's an hour ahead today!"
"No, I heard that the champion has a date in the evening, so I discussed it in advance."
"I see, Albert, a genius, is still as angry as ever."
"By the way, hasn't he been dumped?"
"Cut, that guy is strong and handsome, will he worry about not having a girlfriend?"
"Forget it, no gossip, let's concentrate on watching the game, and today I heard that a powerful character appeared.
He seems to be called Camilla, an adventurer and a magic spearman, hoping to defeat Albert as the champion. ”
"Tsk, Albert has been the champion for a month, it's been very powerful!"
Rimuru pricked up her ears and was a little curious when she heard the words of the visitors around her.
He went over with a glass of wine and toasted to the two chatting pairs.
"Hmm, I'm an adventurer who just came to Huttonmar, I want to ask, what's going on in this ring?"
"What a handsome little beauty, my brother toasts you, haha!"
Seeing the bearded uncle in front of him claiming to be his brother, the corners of Limu's eyes twitched, and he couldn't resist kicking him.
The other person, seeing that his companion was so unscored, immediately opened his mouth to apologize.
"I'm sorry, beauty, my friend drank too much and didn't have hair on his mouth, don't you mind."
"Hmm, I don't mind, I just want to ask about that ring."
"That's easy to say."
The man nodded, and then told Rimuru about the rules of the ring.
The rules of this ring are very simple, there are only six rules in total.
Article 1 is that it is permissible to carry weapons, but it is not allowed to kill people, and the means are not limited.
The second one, which is opened every evening, is only played three times at a time, and does not wait for the obsolescence.
Third, after winning the battle at the end, you will get the title of the champion, and then get a reward, and become the champion in a row, and the rewards will become more and more generous.
Fourth, after you are defeated, you are not allowed to challenge the ring again for half a month.
Fifth, to participate in the ring, you need to pay three gold coins as an entrance fee, and you don't need to continue to pay after you get the champion.
Article 6, the final interpretation right belongs to Moonlight Tavern, if there is an accident, the store is not responsible.
That's what Rimuru knows.
It's as simple as that.
"I have one more question, what is this reward?"
Rimuru tilted her head with a puzzled expression, looking a little cute.
The two men, seeing Rimuru's expression, swallowed at the same time.
"You can choose this reward, such as intelligence, gold, items, recovery potions, and alchemy items.
Even if the rewards are stacked up, you may even get a kiss from the boss! ”
"That's right, the owner of the Moonlight Hotel is a big beauty, if someone can get the boss's kiss, I feel a little envious and jealous when I think about it."
Seeing the appearance of the two people in front of him, Rimuru sighed.
"Thank you two uncles, but I want to remind you that I am a man, not a woman!"
As she spoke, Rimuru turned her head handsomely, leaving the two with confused faces.
"Male? Ghost believes! ”
"Isn't it just flat, is it necessary to pretend to be a man, cut!"
Returning to her seat, Rimuru looked at the excited Selia, a little puzzled.
"Na, Rimuru, have you seen it, it's the magic crystal screen, the magic crystal screen!
I've heard of this since I was a child, and it seems to be a very convenient item developed by a magician of the elf clan.
It is said that there are not many people who can make magic crystal screens now, so the price is super expensive.
I didn't expect to be able to see it here, this trip to the Moonlight Tavern is really worth it! ”
Seeing that Selia was so excited, Rimuru was a little speechless.
The magic crystal screen in her mouth is actually similar to a TV.
This is just a large projection screen hanging on the strong.
Rimuru didn't care about that kind of thing.
What he cared about was the person on the screen who was doing warm-up exercises with well-proportioned muscles.
This person, Rimuru is very familiar, he is the famous NPC in the game, Albert!
Opposite him was a gray-haired man with a spear in his hand.
He must be the adventurer of those guests, Camilla.
"The battle begins now!"
With a well-behaved female voice, it came from inside the screen.
Albert and the adventurer immediately fought together.
The two of them fought fiercely, one with a spear and the other with his bare hands.
No matter how you look at it, it is the advantage of using a spear.
"Haha, this battle, it looks like Albert is going to lose!"
"yes, I didn't expect Albert to lose the first game."
"Tsk, let him find a girlfriend, this is a bad mood, he deserves to lose!"
The people around him, some of them gloated, and some of them looked jealous.
But it's more about watching the show with an emotiable expression.
Rimuru just glanced at it and didn't pay attention, but drank in peace.
"Rimuru, which of the two of them do you think will win?"
