Chapter 11: The Demon King and the Kind Villagers

In the morning, the sun shines through the window and into the room.

In the soft bed, Green slowly opened his eyes.

"Hmm~ha~" Green lay on the bed, stretched, and then slowly got up from the bed.

A good night's sleep can make people feel happy, but touching his shriveled belly, Green's originally happy mood instantly calmed down.

"Let's go eat in the labyrinth."

Thanks to the money provided by Natalie yesterday, Green was spared the embarrassment of sleeping on the streets, but until he had a stable income, Green did not dare to waste too much. So you still have to rely on the maze for food or something.

"Every day after dawn I have to fight to find food...... It always feels like this routine is a bit like a game I've played before. ”

Green shook his head, got dressed, and walked downstairs.

Green had just walked down the stairs when he saw the tavernkeeper's daughter, Elisa, cleaning.

"Ah, Mr. Green, you're up." The girl looked up and greeted Grimm warmly.

"Good morning~" Green smiled and nodded.

"By the way, breakfast is ready for you, you go to the tavern and sit for a while, and I'll go to the kitchen and bring it for you."

"Breakfast?" Green was stunned, "What's the matter with breakfast?" ”

Due to the language barrier, the girl did not answer Green's question. After putting things away, it was gone.

Seeing the girl leave, Green hesitated for a moment, and finally came to the tavern restaurant on the first floor.

In the morning there was no business in the tavern, and everyone had work to do, so the tavern was empty.

Green casually took a seat and sat down.

It wasn't long before the tavern girl came out with a plate and placed the food in front of Grimm.

Very luxurious breakfast.

A few slices of bread, some vegetables, and a bowl of broth. In such an industrially underdeveloped world, such a breakfast is already a sumptuous one.

"How much?" Green put his money on the table, then pushed the smallest copper coin in front of the girl, and then pointed to the rest of the money, and gestured with his finger, indicating that the girl would determine the amount of breakfast for herself.

"I'll have this breakfast." The tavern girl smiled and pushed the money back, "Aren't you going into town with my dad and them today?" Only when you have eaten enough can you have the strength to fight. ”

It's a village full of human touch.

Green felt that he was growing fond of the village.

"Thank you~" Green put away the money and began to eat.

The portion of breakfast is not much, but it is enough for an ordinary person to barely fill his stomach. If it was Green in his previous life, this amount would be enough even as lunch, but for Green now, the amount of food in front of him can only make him half full.

But it's good to be able to eat half-full. Although you can't increase your "energy reserves (chaos magic)", you can ensure your normal energy consumption for half a day, so as to avoid energy reserves (chaos magic) being depleted due to insufficient energy.

If 1 point of "Chaos Mana" is converted into energy, it is only enough to support Green's activities for a day, but if you want to convert food into "Chaos Mana", you need to consume ten times more energy! Therefore, it is necessary to ensure a minimum daily energy intake.

From a certain point of view, the "chaos magic" on the demon king is quite similar to the "fat" on the human body. When humans consume too much energy, it will be converted into fat and stored; If energy intake is insufficient, fats are converted into energy, which provides the body's daily energy expenditure.

After breakfast, Green is ready to go to the maze to continue to eat and replenish his energy - most people don't want to have too much fat, but for "chaos magic", Green is never too much.

However, before Green could walk out of the hotel door, the red-haired girl Natalie hurried into the tavern.

"Green! Great, come with me, we need you. After the red-haired girl finished speaking, she pulled Green and walked out.

"Did something happen?" Green looked at the girl in confusion.

The girl seemed to sense Green's question, and casually explained to Green, "The maze leopard we met yesterday didn't appear. We suspect that someone needs to eat the roast before the hidden monster appears. We don't dare to eat those labyrinth foods, so we can only come to you to try them out. ”

Green blinked. This is to treat me to a barbecue!? That's good! I'd love to!

Grimm followed the girl into the labyrinth, and then surged all the way, and soon reached the clearing where the Labyrinth Lord was.

The dark labyrinth gates have been opened.

Around the labyrinth's gates, heavily armed tavern keepers and equally heavily armed dwarven old men were sitting around a campfire, roasting meat.

Natalie: "Hasn't that maze leopard shown up yet?" ”

"Didn't show up." The tavernkeeper sat his helmet under his ass and reached out to touch his bare head, "Maybe it really needs someone to eat a barbecue for it to appear." ”

The dwarf old man, who was wrapped like a tin can, smiled: "There may also be other hidden conditions that we don't know. Anyway, try it next to each other! ”

"Oh, then I'm welcome~" Green happily sat next to the bonfire, smelled the barbecue on the bonfire, and his face showed an intoxicated expression, "Hmm~ It's so fragrant!" ”

"Give." The tavernkeeper handed a dagger to Green, "I heard you'll be fine if you eat the maze food?" ”

"Yes!" Green nodded, took the dagger, and began to cut the flesh to eat.

It makes Green happy to have such a generous amount of free food. After all, fat ...... Ahh Tongue. After all, "chaos magic" or something, Green is not too much.

Green happily began to feast.

While Green was eating the barbecue, the three warriors were holding their weapons and staring nervously around to prevent the jungle cheetah from sneaking up.

Green scanned his surroundings as he ate. Suddenly! The expression on Green's face froze!

Green saw the panther!

But the three adventurers around didn't seem to see it, even though their eyes swept over the area where the cheetah was.

"There it is!" Grimm didn't care about anything else, pointed to where the cheetah was, and barked.

Hearing Green's reminder, the three adventurers looked in the direction Green was pointing at the same time!

At the same time, the panther suddenly turned around, fled into the forest, and disappeared.

Looking at the vanished black panther, the three adventurers were stunned.

"Oh! ~Goddess is above, why didn't I see it just now? The dwarf threw the hammer to the ground and touched his head with a puzzled face.

The tavernkeeper thought for a moment, "This panther can sneak, and if there are too many adventurers, it will run away!" ”

"Green, why can you see that panther?" Natalie looked at Green strangely, "We didn't even notice it. ”

Green shrugged: "Hmm...... I don't know. Anyway, you can see it. It could be because I ate the barbecue, or maybe it was for something else. ”

"What is he talking about?" The old dwarven asked the tavernkeeper. He couldn't understand Greene's words.

The tavern keeper looked in the direction the panther had left and thought for a moment, "It seems that there are only two people who want to hunt the labyrinth panther, and only those who have eaten the barbecue will be able to find it." ”

"Maybe next time, I can let Grandpa Asimow come in with meow." Natalie suddenly spoke, "If it's because of stealth, maybe Grandpa Asimow will be able to see it." ”

Old Dwarven: "Karui, you and Natalie are going to the city later, right?" ”

"Yes." The tavernkeeper nodded, "Alyssa should have packed her luggage already." ”

The old dwarf thought for a moment: "Hmm...... Tomorrow I'll call Asimow, and the two of you will try it. Let's see if we can take down that panther. ”

"Hmm. So be it. Gone, out. The tavern keeper put away his weapon and beckoned.

"Hmm~" Natalie also put away her weapon and beckoned to Green, "Green, let's go." Didn't you say you were going to the city to register adventurers? ”

"Hmm~Okay." Green hurriedly swallowed the roast meat in his mouth, and then wiped his mouth.

The group quickly walked out of the maze and returned to the tavern.

At the entrance of the tavern, a gypsy-style open-top carriage had stopped at the door.

It was a carriage with a cape, a bit like the classic style used by gypsies, but instead of a horse, it was a large bug about the size of a horse, which looked a bit like a Q version of a silkworm baby.

"Father, Natalie, the carriage is ready." The tavern girl stood beside the carriage and said with a smile.

Tavernkeeper: "Have you moved everything?" ”

"They've all moved up." The girl glanced at everyone's empty hands, "Labyrinth...... Isn't it going well? ”

"Yes. That hidden monster was even more troublesome than expected. ”

"But as long as you know that there are hidden monsters in the labyrinth, I believe that one day you will be able to find a way to kill it steadily." The girl smiled and comforted everyone.

"Hahaha! That's right! The old dwarven laughed, "So Karui, Natalie, you two can set off in peace!" Leave the labyrinth to me, old man. When I was younger, I was known as the 'Hearthstone Roar' Barend! ”

After a brief exchange, the tavern owner set off in a horse-drawn carriage with the goods. Green and Natalie also left the village as the chariot guards.

"Have a nice trip!" At the gate of the village, a group of villagers cheered and watched Green and the others leave.

With a bundle of firewood on his back, Green looked back at the kind, friendly villagers at the gate of the village, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.

"What a magical village......

Green had never seen a village like this. The intimacy between the villagers is far beyond Green's imagination! Although the village is inhabited by different races, there are few conflicts, and the relationship between the people is very close, almost like a big family.

In Green's opinion, this is a very magical thing. Because even on Earth, it is rare to be able to see such a scene.
