"Huh? It's all here, isn't there a priest who comes out to light autumn fireworks to end the festivities? Thea looked in on tiptoe, but never saw the priest.

It stands to reason that the priest's costume is the most ornate of all, and it should be the center of attention of the crowd as soon as it appears, but he is still nowhere to be seen when it is about to end.

"Maybe not every time."

Koichiro had little interest in witnessing the priest's face, and he wanted to get away from this crowded place as soon as possible, because ......

The women around them were all orcs, and their temperaments were relatively unrestrained, and when they saw the good-looking and handsome young man, they all went up intentionally or unintentionally.

The orc women in the town of Colum are all dressed in long skirts with low necks and waists, not only can they enjoy the scenery comparable to the two sides of the Mariana Trench by bowing their heads slightly, but they are really unsettled, wave after wave.

Then, he said indifferently, "If there are so many festivals throughout the year, and all of them need the priest to put the finishing touches, then the priest must be very busy, so if you can't see it, you can come back next time." ”

Thea lowered her head unhappily and whispered that Koichiro was uninteresting.

"Your Excellency is a foreigner! There are so many festivals! Obviously there are only four times a year, and it is difficult to see the rumored beautiful priests, but Your Excellency is not interested! ”

"I don't care if you want to see it or not, I want to see it anyway......" Xia quietly grabbed Koichiro's sleeve and squeezed inside.

"The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the boba dies on the beach!"

But now......

Koichiro immediately sensed Thea's intentions, and quickly grabbed Thea's arm with his backhand, signaling Thea to stop pulling his sleeves and squeezing forward.

'No offense, no ......offense,' said Koichiro silently in his heart.

In front of the platform where the priest was supposed to stand, the rows seemed to be all women of some age, and Thea was agile and had no scruples about navigating the stormy seas, but Koichiro was ......

Seeing this, Xia was not willful and disobedient, exhaled, and said with a little regret, "Hmm...... If you don't like it, well......"

Then Xia lowered her head and moved out of the circle, and the pair of fox ears that had just been in high spirits drooped down, and the tail hung slightly, expressing displeasure.

"Well, it's okay to come back to the next festival."

Hanichiro thought that it was not too early, so it was better to go back and rest early, so he patted Xia on the head with his hand and symbolically comforted her.

"Huh? Your Excellency, really, really? Winter festivals? I heard that there was a ski resort at that time, did you really want to bring me here? Thea asked excitedly three times.

The innocent Thea's drooping fox ears suddenly stood up excitedly, shaking gently on her hair, and the fox's tail couldn't help but sweep from side to side, and her round eyes seemed to be filled with starlight again.

"Well, you can come when you have time! Now let's go back to Timi's shop and rest", Koichiro's magnetic voice was like a spell, and the affirmative answer immediately hit Xia's heart!

"Oh, Your Excellency is so good~ Winter Festival, winter will be fun...... Xiaya didn't care about the truth of the man's words, and thought about the next event arrangement.

--

Halfway through, only one shop looked dark from a distance, but the surrounding shops were still bright and full of bright oil lamps.

"The festival is such a good business, but you don't do good business?" Koichiro was a little surprised to see the only dark shop on the entire street.

I am holding such doubts......

"Shhh

When I took it out of my pocket, I saw that the Eye of Horus, which was used for prophecy, reflected a red mark, which was a sign of danger!

Since it is a sign of danger, it must be that you or your companions are in trouble!

Suddenly, in her mind, Itina flashed with a tsundere smile......

Without thinking much about it, Koichiro held the Eye of Horus tightly and ran to Timi's hotel, this is the building, it turned out to be Timi's shop!

He pushed open the fence outside the door and quickly walked through the cloister outside the house, only to see a small sign hanging outside the door, which read, 'The shopkeeper travels far away, closes'.

"Far travel? No way! A responsible boss like Timi would not suddenly leave a guest behind to go on a long trip. ”

Koichiro tore off the small sign, and after pushing the door open, he didn't immediately go inside, but threw the small sign into the house.

The small sign landed on the ground, making a crisp wooden sound.

'There's no ambush, it's fine, I'm worried that someone will set up an attack behind the door,' said Koichiro, taking a candlestick and walking inside.

The ground was full of water, and there was unmelted broken ice, and the thick soles of Martin's boots made a "whoosh" sound when they stepped on the floor.

Raising the candlestick and looking around, the window panes next to it were completely destroyed, the tables and chairs were knocked over, and there was a small pool of blood in the corner of the staircase.

"Ding-" kicked something round.

Taking advantage of the firelight, Xia followed in with some fear, one hand tightly wrapped around Koichiro's arm, and the other pointed to the bell on the ground, a bad premonition continued to ferment in her heart.

"Lord Ernest...... O water, priest bells. ”

Xia wanted to squat down and pick up the round bell, but there was some bloody smell on it, which made the fox clan with a sharp nose immediately distinguish it, and Xia was a little shrunken and didn't dare to reach out.

Seeing this, Koichiro picked up the golden bell on the ground and repeated, "Are you sure it's a priest's item?" ”

He had no idea that Timi was the priest who was supposed to appear at tonight's celebration!

Thea nodded silently.

Koichiro held the bell and the Eye of Horus in his hand, and ran to the room on the second floor, "Oh no, Itina is still sleeping in the hotel, what if you can't fight, what if you can't fight!" ’

Sure enough, the room was empty, and There's no sign of Itina.

'Where will it go?' ’

The Eye of Horus in Hanichiro's hand currently only emits a red light spot, and it is not asleep now, so it cannot be prophesied.

Hanichiro searched upstairs and downstairs, but he couldn't find any guidance on where to go in the store, and there were water stains everywhere, and he was anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

At this time, I had no choice but to adopt a strategy and force myself to fall asleep.

Koichiro held the candlestick firmly on the counter and found a small hourglass in the drawer inside the counter, which is the item that Timi usually uses to compare the baking heat.

Afterwards, Koichiro looked at the various drinks from another world on display on the wine cabinet, and based on his knowledge of the concentration of alcohol, he expected a short time to fall asleep, and then took a bottle of spirits with a higher concentration from it.

"Ah......", Xia wanted to reach out and take the bottle from Hanichiro's hand, "Why did Your Excellency suddenly drink?" ”

'Obviously, the Lord Ernest in his mind is not such a person who enjoys pleasure at any time and gives up easily, is it that Itina may have encountered an accident, and Your Excellency is depressed? ’

Koichiro took off the sword from his back, handed it to Thea, and instructed, "This hourglass, when the upper part is empty, wake me up, and if I don't wake up, stab me in the forearm." ”

"Huh? How can I, a slave, do this to my master......"

Thea held the sword with a puzzled expression.

Hanichiro didn't have time to explain his intentions in detail, so he had to spread his hands, and the red light of the Eye of Horus was very dazzling to Thea who was looking directly at him, and it also made Thea have a trace of palpitations.

Koichiro instructed again, "Be sure to wake me up, or Itina will be in danger." ”

"Uh-huh!"

Thea chose to trust her master once again and nodded solemnly.

Koichiro rotated the iron bar of the old-fashioned bottle picker into the cork on the top, and then pulled it out so hard that the uncontrollable force caused some of the elixir to spill out of the bottle.

Suddenly, the smell of rice in Timi's shop was overflowing, and under the light of the candlestick, the light passed through the wine, which was bright and highly transparent like a water crystal, and there were no fine grains in the wine. It can be seen with the naked eye that the wine brewed by Timi is light yellow to red golden yellow, clear and transparent, crystal clear, no suspended solids, no precipitation.

"Good wine, Lilith's stock is not as good as this", Koichiro took a deep breath of the aroma of the wine, "It's a pity that it was wasted", and then poured most of the bottle in one gulp.

After a while, the scene in front of him began to be psychedelic, the candle flame outside and the figure overlapped more and more, and Koichiro lay on the counter, lost his ability to think, and fell asleep.

The dream soon came out, and the scene displayed by the Eye of Horus and Koichiro's field of vision was indented, indented, and then overlapped.

In his dreams, he seemed to know the route, and the red guide mark led him to a round roulette wheel, and the gallop of the horse's hooves rolled up a side of dust.

'All around are shouting, screaming for themselves? No, it's cheering for the person opposite, but I can't see who is on the other side, it's a shadow that I have seen before, and it feels so familiar. ’

Why refuel? Unknown.

But in this dream, what about Itina? What about Timi? Didn't show up. ’

I'm standing on a round roulette wheel with a dark blue sword in my hand, but what am I doing? ’

Hanichiro struggled to see where he was in his dreams, and when he looked down, it was a huge oval, a high-walled heaven and earth built on the side of the sea, and the calm of the sea contrasted sharply with the bustling crowds of the place.

And before Koichiro walked onto the round platform painted with strange rune patterns, the orc who had fallen to the ground was being dragged down, his shirt was bare, his back was dripping with blood, his nose was bruised, his face was swollen, and his mouth was foaming at the mouth.

On the other side, there was a giant man with a very arrogant smile, with unusually vigorous chest hair and hot breath from his nostrils, and after trying to raise a heavy fist against his opponent who had fallen to the ground, he was even more arrogant and defiant, making a series of triumphant gestures in his opponent's face and spitting a foul-smelling spit.

'Is it the Colosseum?' ’

This bloody mode of fighting, as well as the spectators who seem to have lost their minds and cheer for violence.

"Hiss......" The stinging pain on his forearm, Hanichiro woke up from his dream, it turned out that the hour hourglass had arrived, and his head was slightly dizzy.

"Lord Ernest, I'm sorry to stab you!" Thea held the handle of the sword and looked at Koichiro with a worried face, a little afraid of being held accountable by her master.

"Well done, you've saved Itina!"

Koichiro pushed the door open, and Teruken cut the reins of one of the horses, he now knew his destination and had to hurry.

Thea hurried out, trying to keep up......

But......
