What happened?

Chen Yan put down the book and flashed to the window. Through the window, you can see a huge pillar of fire rising from the northeast of the village, like a dragon soaring into the sky. The village immediately boiled, and people were constantly seen running out of hotels and homes, rushing in that direction.

Chen Yan thought about it and began to dress, and then walked out of the room leisurely.

"What's going on?" When Chen Yan walked to the front hall of the hotel, he saw a group of people running out, so he sat down next to the hostess of the hotel and asked.

The proprietress glanced at him and pouted boredly. "Isn't the Cocoon bursting? These people always think that they can get benefits, and every time they are like night wolves chasing after their butts, but they don't know how many benefits can be given to you in the world? I didn't see the benefits for a few days, but there were a few carts of corpses. ”

"Cocoon exploded?" Chen Yan didn't care about the nagging of the proprietress and grabbed the key at once. "How so?"

The Cocoon is the most common 'organ' in the Demon Territory, and is responsible for collecting and converting scattered energy underground into a 'biological tissue' that converts scattered energy into magical energy. It has only an erect ovoid shell on the surface, but a dense and extensive network underground. It can be said that the Demon Cocoon is the support point of the Demon Territory, and without the Demon Cocoon, the Demon Territory cannot be formed.

But theoretically, the cocoon will not explode, it is just an exposed shell on the surface, there are no violent explosives in it, and because of the semi-biological characteristics, it will age and die, dry and rot, but it will not explode.

What's going on right now?

"Out-of-towners, don't worry about that. This could be the prelude to disaster. The proprietress lowered her head and said without raising her head. It's been a few months. Cocoons, storms, and rain of ice, the whole Land of Glory seemed to be furious. We can't figure out why, but we know not to get involved. ”

"If you want to live, you better be less curious."

"Strange dry environment." Chen Yan repeated in a low voice. This is very similar to some descriptions in demonology, and is the result of a disorder of demonic energy. And this situation is by no means casual, it only means that something must have happened in the deepest part of the earth under their feet.

Then contact the hostess. He couldn't help but light up. "You mean, it's been a few months since this happened?"

"yes, I can't remember exactly when. It was only a few months ago that several large families of the human race broke into the land of glory, and it is said that there were several great wars on that occasion, and even several great demons were dispatched. As a result, none of them returned, and the demons became angry with several villages, killing all those who helped them. ”

"Tucun?" Chen Yan immediately remembered the scene he saw when he came, and couldn't help asking. "You mean the Meroka outpost?"

"Meroka...... Hey...... Where are you from, right? Hearing Chen Yan's question, the proprietress stopped what she was doing. raised his head and glanced at Chen Yan gloomily, then he walked to the side and put all the things in his hand under the counter. Then he shouted to the back.

"Douding, get me a bucket of black date wine."

"Here we are." A hoarse voice replied, and soon a small dwarf approached with a barrel larger than his body. Put it next to Chen Yan and make a bang.

Chen Yan felt the weight of the wine barrel, and not only glanced at the dwarf.

"Don't look at it, he's a mutated Inhuman. Inferior demons and the descendants of humans. The proprietress muttered, then took out a worn-out wine glass and put it in front of Chen Yan. I took one myself.

"Have a drink, please."

"Why?" Chen Yan was strange.

"Because I like a guy with fine skin and tender meat like you, but unfortunately I won't be able to see it soon." The proprietress grinned. A mouthful of black teeth is exposed. "Since you're from Meloka, it must have been sent by those big families, right? Continue to investigate the Thirty-Seven Spires? ”

"You ......" Chen Yan was stunned, he didn't expect the proprietress to suddenly say this. Isn't the thirty-seven spires the knowledge of the witchers? When will even ordinary people be able to count their treasures?

"Hey, hey." Seeing Chen Yan's surprised expression, the proprietress smiled, and she poured Chen Yan a glass of wine with great effort, and then said. "It's you humans who keep this a secret, for us. For the untouchables who live in the Land of Glory, this has long been a familiar thing to everyone. Don't forget that we are the closest to the pillars, and the thirty-seven spires may be legends to you, but to us we are the ones we have seen. ”

"Have you seen thirty-seven spires?" Chen Yan grasped the crux of the problem.

"How is that possible?" The proprietress waved her hand. "I just don't know how many generations of grandparents have seen it. As for the recent ...... I've heard of it once. ”

"A few months ago?" Chen Yan asked.

"A few months ago." The hostess nodded. Picked up the glass and took a sip. "Drink some, boy. This is our specialty black date wine, which has a slight magic energy ingredient in it. Good for witchers. ”

"I'm not ......"

"No need to hide it." The proprietress said with a smile. "From the moment you entered the hotel, I could smell the strong smell of witchers on you. Don't ask me how I smell it, I just can smell it. And I know you must be curious to know what's going on in Meloka. And what happened in the Land of Glory some time ago......"

At this time, there was no one in the front hall, and Chen Yan and the proprietress were sitting in the corner, not afraid of someone eavesdropping. Chen Yan glanced at the proprietress thoughtfully, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.

"Sounds like I'm going to get there easily?"

"Boy, this is the kindness of an old man." The proprietress said with a smile. "Of course...... It costs a little bit. ”

Sounds very reasonable, Chen Yan nodded secretly in his heart, hotels and bars are well-informed places, and the boss will naturally do some intelligence business. However, he felt a little uncomfortable with this proprietress as if there was something else hidden under the other party's smiling old face.

After thinking about it, he took out a card from his arms and slowly pushed it in front of the proprietress .

"Five thousand gold deleters, maybe you can have a good day?"

"Trust me, it's just going to make me drink half a drink more before I go to bed." The smile on the proprietress faded and she pushed the card back.

Chen Yan smiled slightly, took out a few more cards and popped them on the table. "And twenty thousand gold deleters? This money is not a small amount in the Land of Glory, and I believe that your inn can be renovated. ”

"Five Tikas." The boss's smile disappeared completely, but she quickly grabbed the cards in her hand. "And this money, count your wine bills."

"Huh?" Chen Yan's brows furrowed......

Vaguely, he saw a group of black and oppressive gnomes swaying in the shadows around him. Their eyes glowed green in the darkness, like a pack of hungry wolves. (To be continued......)
