As the coordinate building of Betty City in the south of the city, the Gray Forest can be said to be relatively eye-catching, at least John didn't walk long after he arrived in the south of the city and saw the shop sign of the Gray Forest. John walked in the direction of the shop, and as soon as he reached the vicinity of the Gray Forest, he could hear the noise of customers inside.

Walking to the door, John saw a familiar carriage. Isn't this the merchant's carriage? Is he in it too?

Pushing open the door, my first reaction was a commotion. The layout of the Grey Forest is a classic tavern layout, with a large bar and a large hall with large and small tables and chairs. But now it seems that these tables and chairs do not play their role, most of the people here are holding a glass of wine in one hand and a piece of food in the other, wandering between the tables, randomly finding a chair to sit down and chatting and bragging, chatting enthusiastically, judging from their expressions, they should know each other; some sit in the corner and eat by themselves, and some sit on the bar and chat with the boss. The merchant I met before was one of the people who was sitting at the bar and chatting with the boss.

John walked to the bar, and the boss saw someone coming and hurriedly greeted John: "Yo, I don't know anyone, what do you want to have? When the merchant heard the boss's greeting, he turned his head to look over, and when he saw that it was John, he smiled awkwardly: "It's you, I didn't expect you to arrive so soon." John also replied: "Hello, thank you for showing me the way this afternoon." When the boss saw this, he said, "Lawrence, do you know each other?" Lawrence said a little embarrassed, "I met on the road when I came back in the afternoon." "Yes, I met on the road in the afternoon, and thanks to him he showed me the way, I was able to make my way to the city with the gates closed. John said.

"Since it's someone Lawrence knows, please have a drink. The boss listened to these words, nodded, and took out a glass from under the bar and got some wine: "Come, have a glass of ale, relieve your fatigue." John thanked him, picked up his glass, and suddenly remembered the heroic figure of the past, and stopped holding the wine to his lips.

"Why, don't you like to drink?" the hotel owner asked when he saw John holding up the glass but not drinking it, and thought that John couldn't drink. John shook his head: "No, I just remembered a former friend who liked to drink." He once said that there was nothing better than having a drinking party and getting some sleep after a battle. Thinking of Onion Knight Jack Baldo and his friend Salary King, the Giant King Yum, John sighed helplessly.

"Your friend said it well. At this moment a voice came from the side, and John turned his head to look in the direction from which the voice came, and saw one of the people who had been drinking and chatting in the tavern lobby approaching.

When the man saw John look at him, he spared his head and said, "I'm sorry, I heard you talking." John said, "It's all right." But who are you?" forgot to introduce yourself. The man bowed slightly and saluted: "I'm Paul, a member of the adventurer team, the Sunshine Brave, and I came here to buy some more wine just now, and I heard what you just said very well, and I didn't eavesdrop on purpose." ”

John waved his hand to show that he didn't care. The boss here brought a large barrel of ale from the counter behind Paul while Paul was talking to John, and Paul took out a few large copper slots and handed them to the boss: "Barrow, thank you." The owner, Barrow, took the money and said, "Thank goodness you guys helped me clean up this place after you finished drinking, every time you finished eating, it made a mess of my lobby." Paul patted his chest and said, "No problem." Then he said, "Give this friend another microbar, count it on my head." John raised his glass and gestured to Paul in thanks. Before Paul could return the salute, he was dragged away by his teammates.

Lawrence then said, "Don't worry about those drunkards, they are like this every time they come back from a mission. John put down his glass and asked, "Are you familiar with them?" Lawrence took a sip of ale, "It's okay." Every time I went back to town, I would come to Barrow for a drink, and their party would celebrate the completion of the mission here, and I got to know each other more times. John nodded, and asked, "Is there anything to eat here?" Lawrence said, "If you're going to fill your stomach, Barrow's roast pie here is a great one, ten copper coins for a serving, and if you add two more copper coins, you can get a bowl of Barrow's special onion soup." ”

John thought of Jack again, and although he had heard that Jack was called the Onion Knight, he had never eaten an onion before, so he asked Barrow for a patty with a puree.

Barrow gave orders in the direction of the kitchen, and soon a young girl brought John the food he had requested.

John looked at the food in front of him and remembered what Jack had said, so he stood up and held his glass: "For the sake of our friendship, your agreement." Longmaythesunshine！”

John was just thinking about his former friend, and the agreement he made with Yum, and said a word of praise to the sun in Jack's way, but he didn't expect that at this time, a light came from the wine glass in John's hand, as if he was holding a small sun instead of an ordinary glass of ale. Whether it was the adventurers who were drinking and playing around, or the boss Barrow and his waiters, or Lawrence, they were all attracted by this light, and they all looked at the wine glass in John's hand. The light came and went quickly, and after about three or five seconds, the light faded, leaving only the original oak glass. At this time, everyone's eyes were on John with a wine glass.

John was also dazzled by the sudden light, and when he recovered, he saw that everyone was watching him. Lawrence reacted first and said to John, "Hey, hey, you never said you were a Templar." In the afternoon, you said, I can take you for a ride. John replied, "I'm not a Templar, I'm just ashes without fire." Lawrence didn't believe it, but John didn't admit it, and he didn't dwell on the subject. John took a sip of the wine and compared it with the wine Jack had given him before, and felt that Jack's wine was more mellow and the ale gave people a softer feeling.

The adventurers next to him paid attention to John and began to drink and have fun with themselves, as if nothing had happened before. They all know that paying too much attention to some things can bring disaster to themselves.

When he had finished his meatloaf and soup, John left the tavern and stayed at a nearby inn. Not long after John left, there was a commotion in the tavern. In a country where the sun god is a religion, it is a rare opportunity to meet a devout Templar. While everyone was discussing the matter, a few people who had been sitting in the corner stood up.

The group, which had been seated in the corner, sat at two tables, with a total of nine people. When everyone got up, one of them walked to the bar. Barrow was still in shock when he saw a man come up to his senses and came back to his senses: "What is this guest ordering? Is it selling wine or scones?"

The man didn't speak, but picked up the wine glass that John had just finished eating and had put on the bar counter and hadn't picked up. As soon as I picked up the wine glass, I felt the charm on the wine glass that had not yet dissipated. Silently closed his eyes and felt for a moment, then opened his eyes in surprise and shouted to his companions who had already arrived at the door: "Captain, come here, I don't feel right!"

When the companions who had already walked to the door heard this, they all stopped and turned their heads to look at their companions at the bar. "Gamble, are you mistaken?" asked a man who appeared to be the leader of the group. Gamble shook his head: "Absolutely not, this is different from what we usually feel. ”

When the captain heard Gamble so sure, he thought back to the scene just now, and suddenly thought of a possibility, his face changed abruptly, and he hurried to the bar, without waiting for Gamble to hand over the wine glass, and reached out to get the wine glass in his hand. Seeing his captain's expression, Gamble felt that things might be out of the ordinary, and handed the wine glass to the captain.

The captain took the glass and closed his eyes to feel it. In this feeling, the captain only felt that the wine glass in his hand was clearly a small sun. Although he believes in the sun god Il, who has the title of eternal sun, he can obviously feel that the charm left in the wine glass in his hand is far stronger than the holy power seeds produced by the belief in Il. There are two possibilities in this situation: first, the person just now believed in Ilr to a higher degree than himself, and second, the god that person believed in was higher than Ilr in the godhead of the sun.

The captain also knew that although Eir was known as the god of the sun, Eir's priesthood was fire and light rather than the sun. Could it be that there is a real sun god now?

It was too big, and he turned around and walked to the door with his glass. Seeing this, Gamble turned around and left a few large copper coins, and chased after the captain.

When I got to the door, I heard the captain instructing the other members: "You stay here first, and tomorrow I will issue a task to gather people, and I will go to Betty Cathedral to find the regional bishop here." ”

When he saw Gamble come out, he said to Gamble, "You have just come out of the training camp and are participating in the mission for the first time, so you should listen to your seniors more and don't fall behind in your daily training." Gamble agreed, and asked, "Captain, are you going out?" "Not necessarily, I'll go to the diocesan bishop first, and if the matter is serious, maybe I'll have to go back to Nimitz." Let's hope it's not a bad thing. ”

The captain said a few more words to his teammates, then turned to the Betty Cathedral in the west of the city.
