Chapter 35: The Traveler in the Storm

It wasn't long before the innkeeper stepped out from behind another door. He held a plate of meat in his left hand and a large glass of wine in his right hand, and then with a "bang-" he rudely rested in front of Moye, and the aromatic wine suddenly spilled from the wooden cup onto the table, but the innkeeper turned away unapologetically.

Perhaps accustomed to the contempt of others, Mono was unimpressed by the innkeeper's bad attitude. In fact, he did not experience real hunger, but he had lived as a Lepelian for thirty years, so when a certain time came, he would unconsciously think that it was time to eat, which was not directly related to hunger or not, but was just a habit. He picked up the wooden cup, raised his head and took a big sip, and said in surprise: "Ah, I didn't expect it to be the Lihua Brew of the Fiji people! I drank it once many years ago, it is a drink made from fruits and flowers, and the taste is very sweet and refreshing. Priest, would you like to taste it?"

In fact, the food of the Lepeilian people is not suitable for the streamers, and even if they eat it, they will not get any beneficial nutrients, but will increase the burden on the body. Streamers have an almost unlimited lifespan, but they are extremely picky about their food, as they only have digestive organs and no excretory organs, so they must consume food that can be fully absorbed. If they can't find food in their surroundings that can provide them with nutrients, then water and light alone can sustain their lives. As long as their bodies can still glow normally, they will not feel hungry even if they do not consume other food for a long time, because water and light are the basic survival needs of the streamers. In addition, not only the structure of the esophagus and internal organs is very different from that of the Lepeilian people, but the oral cavity is also different. There are no sharp teeth in the streamer's mouth, only two rows of translucent cartilage, which are mainly used to aid pronunciation and rarely used for chewing. However, Mono, who had lived as a Lepelian for 30 years, is still accustomed to eating regularly to quench his slight psychological hunger. But the priest had told him that it was a temporary habit, and that it would soon disappear from him as soon as he stayed away from the Lepelian community. Because, the Resersi are very unique, and their adaptability is much stronger than any other form of the Streamer Clan, and even the oral and visceral structures will quickly adjust and change in order to adapt to the environment and survival needs, all thanks to the powerful Ice, Fire and Blood.

The priest only shook his head lightly at Mano's invitation, and then said in that ethereal and beautiful streamer: "In the homeland, there is a flower called 'Silent Blossom', which means the epiphany of the heart. He never blooms on his own, and we never pick it, just look at the bud with your eyes and silently convey to him the consciousness that you want him to bloom, and the tip of the bud will immediately open a small opening, and at the same time there will be a beautiful music, which is filled with luscious juice and fragrant...... That's probably the Streamer's wine. ”

Hearing the priest's description, Mono suddenly felt that the liquid in his mouth was bitter and difficult to swallow. It's not that this Lihua Brew has suddenly changed its taste, but because Mono suddenly realizes that the Streamer people may have missed their "Momentary Blossom" like this for thousands of years, and they don't know when they will be able to taste his sweetness again. And in the near future, will you have the opportunity to taste that taste again?

Thinking of this, Mono put down the wooden cup in his hand abruptly, subconsciously grabbed a piece of meat on the plate, and stuffed it into his mouth, but after only chewing it twice, his face suddenly changed, as if he was trying his best to hide something, he stood up suddenly, and quickly rushed to the door, his hands propped up on the low door frame and vomited vigorously.

"Hahaha......"

The room burst into laughter with ill intentions, mixed with whispers that went up and down. Moye glanced around, and the guests sitting in the dim corner of the lobby seemed to be all Lepeilian people from the Eastern Continent. They apparently knew something beforehand and were waiting to see the joke. Mano withdrew his gaze disappreliantly, ignoring their malicious ridicule, and returned to his place.

Seeing that the priest's expression was a little inquiring, Mano explained, "The taste of this meat is a little strange...... Then, he looked at the kitchen suspiciously, but saw that the innkeeper was standing at the kitchen door, staring at him expressionlessly, so he asked, "What kind of meat is this?"

The innkeeper suddenly smiled strangely and said, "There are so many beasts here, and I don't know the exact names. ”

Mono had no choice but to keep all his doubts in his heart, the other party was obviously playing tricks on him, but he had no intention of making enemies with anyone. What's more, the purpose of him and the priest coming to Honia was to wait for the Fijian people, and since this inn had the Fijian people's Lihua brew, it was enough to prove that the innkeeper might have a great friendship with the Fijian people, so he could not stir up unnecessary disputes over such a trivial matter. So, Demon Ambition calmly said to the innkeeper, "Can you give me a glass of water?"

Moye's open-mindedness was beyond the innkeeper's expectations. In such a situation, the vast majority of people would probably angrily demand explanations and compensation, or simply resist and vent by force on the grounds of being humiliated, but the tall guest in front of him showed no hostility to their despicable acts, and even the aliens around him remained silent, ignoring all provocation and ridicule. Their strength had undoubtedly shaken the innkeeper's cold heart, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed, though there was no flaw in his swarthy face.

Perhaps to hide the embarrassment in his heart, when the innkeeper spoke again, his tone became a little stiff: "I can give you a glass of water, but the meat sold will not be returned." ”

Mono nodded wordlessly, not bothering, obviously wanting to settle the matter.

Seeing that the incident that was finally provoked was quickly and easily resolved, those guests who were originally looking forward to watching a good show can now only regretfully hide in the dim corner and continue to whisper.

You must know that although Moye's physical characteristics are the same as those of the Lepei Lian Feiyu people, his body size is as tall as the streamer people. Therefore, if he appeared with the Lepeilian people today, then in the eyes of everyone, he might just be a Lepeilian Feiji with an abnormal size. But if he appeared with the streamers, it would most likely be seen as a disguise for an alien.

Therefore, when Moye and Priest Sylven entered the inn together, in the eyes of all the Lepelian people in the house, they were two aliens who had suddenly appeared. There is no doubt that the Lepelian people have no affection for aliens, and even if they are afraid of their tall size and do not dare to attack easily, they will deliberately seek an opportunity to humiliate them. The guests exchanged heads and ears in the dimly lit corners, unaware that these self-righteous whispers were clearly falling into the ears of the Sirven priest and the demon wild. After all, the senses of the streamer are far more acute than those of the Lai Peilian people, and it is difficult to hear them.

"You see, the alien is indeed the same as the legend, with strange hair color, ugly appearance, and walking barefoot......"

"After being teased by the innkeeper, they didn't even dare to open their mouths, and the stupidity of resignation was disgusting. ”

"Hey, be quiet, I've heard that aliens don't know how to farm, just like a group of parasites that drink blood, if they hear it, maybe they will even eat us......"

"What are you afraid of? Aliens are just a bunch of inferior creatures with no intelligence, even if you stand in front of them and scold them, maybe they still don't understand, otherwise how can they not be interested just now? Either they haven't eaten cooked food and can't tell the difference between good and bad, or they're too stupid to realize that they're being teased, hahaha......"

"yes, there are so many of us, and we still have weapons in our hands, so there's nothing to worry about. Don't look at their size, they don't even know how to use tools, they don't know any metallurgical technology, they can't even make a decent weapon, and they dare to run barefoot and invade our land, what is this not a big fool? hahaha...... So he deserved to be driven into the Jedi by the heroes of the previous generation, and he no longer dared to blatantly appear in the Eastern Continent, and now he can only come to the Western Continent to make trouble. ”

"They are said to carry a filthy virus on their bodies and can catch the plague if they come into contact with it. ”

"That's right, it's better not to approach easily, after all, it's an uncivilized savage species......

Perhaps it was precisely because the two aliens by the fire remained unmoved, that the laughter in the dim darkness became more and more unscrupulous. In the Lepeilian world, this kind of guy who bullies the weak and is afraid of the hard is always everywhere. If they are not forced to submit in a tough stance at the beginning, they will regard the tolerance and tolerance of others as weakness and deception, and they will gain an inch without self-knowledge. This collective arrogance stems from their cultural education. After all, since ancient times, a narrow view of one's own position has dominated the world of thought of the Lepelian people, so that they always have a habitual tone of extreme derogation and ridicule of "non-self" when they speak.

The nights and days of this world are very long, and all the Lepelians, including the innkeeper, want to have some fun on this boring rainy night, so that they can pass the boring time. Regrettably, however, the two tall aliens ignored their bad tastes and sat calmly aside, making these frivolous acts even more despicable and ridiculous.

It was hard to stay up until midnight, but the storm did not stop at all, and still invaded Honia unrelentingly. Outside the house, it was pitch black, and the storm and rain were biting each other, as if they would not stop until they completely swallowed up the crumbling town.

Just when everyone thought that maybe they could only sit and spend this boring night, suddenly there was a hazy melody outside the house, from far and near, like singing. The song intertwined with the storm, sounding an inexplicable weirdness and danger, was slowly coming towards Honia from the distant sea, the melody getting closer and closer, and the song becoming clearer and clearer.

Ho ho ...... Ho ho ......

The wind chases the waves, and the waves send the sail.

Be fearless and do what you want.

Say goodbye to the old garden, look at the countryside from afar,

I woke up at dusk, and the blue sky was like a wash.

Ho ho ...... Ho ho ......

(The brave man who conquered the sea, have you ever missed the flowers of your hometown?)

Don't be worried, your home is on this boat, in the ocean.

Ride the wind and waves and sing a song, tomorrow when the rain is clear, the sun is shining.

(The red dress swaying on the shore, looking at the old people returning from afar.) )

Ho ho ...... Ho ho ......

The powerful singing voice pierced through the darkness of the rainy night and was clearly heard from the sea to the inn, gradually attracting everyone's attention. In that thick and majestic singing, interspersed from time to time with a very soft voice, the faint voice that blended the beauty of the beautiful melancholy, almost covered by those powerful and majestic voices, but always maintained a sound that was impossible to ignore, so that involuntarily in the wild sound, carefully searched for that trace of softness.

It seemed like a long, long time before the reverberating song finally came to an abrupt end on the shore.

Who is it that dares to ride the wind and waves on the sea on a stormy night, and the subconscious doubts and speculations make people be on guard. With the exception of Priest Sylven and Mono, the guests in the corner all stared at the crooked door in panic, clutching the weapons in their hands, not daring to relax in the slightest. Know that on such a dark and rainy night, danger can come at any time. At this time, the sound of rain outside the house was particularly clear, and the wind was still howling.

Time seemed to freeze, and passed very slowly, until the tense atmosphere in the room was almost about to collapse, when suddenly there was a "bang", and the door of the inn opened without warning, and a cold wind poured in. Then I heard a "clang" again, and in the dim corner of the wall, I don't know whose hand slipped in fright, and dropped his weapon to the ground. However, there was no suspicious vision at the door, perhaps it was blown open by a storm, and the guests in the darkness couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat, and no one dared to relax their vigilance, and their eyes were all staring directly at the dark and rainy night outside the door.

After a long pause, a strange little point of light suddenly appeared in the darkness outside the door. Small dots of light slowly floated in the direction of the inn from far and near. The room was so quiet that some people were so frightened that they didn't even dare to breathe.

When the dim point of light was getting closer and closer to the hotel, through the hazy rain in the night, the people in the room who were nervously watching from afar gradually noticed that there were some vague figures behind the point of light, which were slowly moving...... After a few more moments, it finally became clear that the point of light was not actually something strange, but just a very ordinary portable leather lamp for night lighting.
