Chapter 9: Monster Sacrifice
"Guests for your dessert. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
The elven waitress with yellow-green shoulder-length hair handed Esther the dessert she had called before.
"Anyway, there are very few people here today."
Su Mo just ordered a glass of unknown liquor that is unique here, there is a lot of foam, similar to beer but not the same as that, the taste is not delicious but the taste is quite unique.
"Because today is a monster festival."
The girl nodded very seriously - and then sat down next to Su Mo, closed her eyes and sniffed near his shoulder.
“...... Let's not talk about what the hell is the monster festival...... That's called Miss Ryu, right? What are you doing here......."
The corners of Su Mo's mouth twitched, and he moved a little to the side quietly: It's not that he didn't want to move more, because next to him was Esther........
"The Monster Festival is a large-scale annual festival hosted by the Ganesa clan, and the arena will be occupied for a whole day, and the people who participate in the monster festival will adjust/teach the various monsters brought from the dungeon in front of all the spectators."
Ryu sat up straight and explained the so-called monster sacrifice to Su Mo in a serious manner - and looked at her as if she was sitting there and not ready to leave........
"So why did Miss Ryu do something like that just now.......?"
Su Mo felt as if he had met a strange person again.
"Did I do anything just now?"
“.......”
“.......”
Su Mo was speechless for a moment, and the scene suddenly fell silent—except for the gentle collision of Esther's small spoon and the porcelain bowl.
"I'm going to have another one."
Little Esther pushed the bowl that had been eaten clean to the front, turned his head and looked at Su Mo and Liu expressionlessly, in fact, Su Mo originally wanted to go to the dungeon today, but Esther seemed to be very interested in the desserts here, so he changed his attention.
Now Su Mo felt a little regretful.
"Understood, Miss Guest."
Get up very cleanly and leave.
"Is ink bothered?"
Watching Ryu walk away, Esther asked naturally.
"Of course......."
He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp: "Do you believe that the scene just now was seen by either Aoko Estes or Elquite, and I can walk out of this store sideways today?" ”
"Why didn't you mention Sister Yuka?"
Esther tilted her head cutely.
“........ Let's not think about it, can we? ”
Su Mo shuddered out of thin air - reasonable, now that he has Qingzi and them, he already feels that his neck is cold at any time, just look at Sister Youxiang, what kind of mood is good, and suddenly want to get on the boat to travel, okay?
"Oh—but Esther knows why that kid wanted to stick to the ink."
Esther looked curiously at the wine glass that had been drunk by Su Mo - she had always been interested in Su Mo's drinking, but each time he was blocked by him on the grounds that children were not allowed to drink.
"Yes, my sister is really ....... Wait, girl, what are you talking about? ”
"Because of Mo's physique."
Esther directly began his own explanation: "Actually, this is one of the reasons why Esther is willing to sign a contract with Ink, Ink's physique will make us elves feel like they are back to their mothers." ”
"Mother...... Body ......."
Su Mo had a shudder: "Can we change the word?" ”
"The father?"
In the eyes of people other than Su Mo, Esther looked very cute now—even if he still had no expression.
“....... Let's say that the mother is good. ”
Su Mo said that he bowed his head to the black evil Lori: "You continue." ”
"Ink gives us the feeling of nature - oh no, just like the world, there is no incongruity, only a full sense of warmth and familiarity: even when the contract is just signed, Esther feels like the body of ink, and the spirit of ink is home."
“....... I think I almost get it. ”
Speaking of which, Su Mo almost figured it out - it was all due to his physique.
"Although it is completely different from the elves who were born directly from the world like us, these should also have a considerable degree of affinity with nature."
Esther rarely said such a long paragraph: "And that guy's strength seems to be pretty good here, and it is normal to be vaguely able to detect the breath of ink." ”
That's right, because in most cases, Su Mo is actually restrained, and it can even be said that he suppresses his aura and occasionally escapes powerful magic - after all, if he doesn't do this, people who are too weak will not be able to talk to him normally: under normal circumstances, it's okay, if someone who is much lower than him comes directly to sense the magic power in his body, his head will be burned.
However, the beautiful elves with long ears in this world seem to be born with quite keen senses, and they are very compatible with the breath of nature, so it is also very normal for a little stronger to be able to sense the breath on Su Mo's body at close range.
"Tsk, it seems that we will be a little away from strange elves in the future."
Familiar at least won't be embarrassing, right?
But fortunately, the world still plays according to the routine - elves are also relatively few creatures in number.
"Guest, please."
Soon after, Ryu came back with dessert, and after placing it in front of Esther, she sat down next to Su Mo as a matter of course........
At least one thing can be seen: this girl is in a very comfortable mood now.......
"Speaking of Miss Liu, as a waiter in this store, aren't you busy?"
Although it wasn't a very troublesome thing, Su Mo still wanted to fight for it a little more.
"Oh? That's what the guest said? ”
Ryu's eyes didn't even open, and her tone, which had always seemed light and mature, now took on a hint of laziness: "As you can see, not only is it not the peak business season for the rich hostess, but the few guests who were originally at this time are now participating in the monster festival, so I'm actually very idle now." ”
"Yes..... Is it? ”
Su Mo pretended to be stupid and smiled, and then he thought about it, and it seemed that this situation was not so unacceptable now: "Forget it, it doesn't matter - but it's better to call me by my name in the future, I'm Su Mo, and the kid next to me is called Esther." ”
"Sue ..... Ink? It's very strange to have the names of the members of the clan over there with the gods to build the thunder. ”
Ryu nodded—not at all polite.
I always feel that this girl may have been a terrible adventurer before, judging from this psychological quality. ’
Su Mo's heart was frantically complaining.
"Oh yes, since Mr. Su Mo has generously allowed me to sit here, I will also give me something in return."
Just as Su Mo was leaning on the back of the chair and closing his eyes to recuperate, Lu on the side spoke again.
"It doesn't matter if you have this or not."
"--It's just a very simple thing, do you want to hear it, the elf's song?"
The cold and tough voices that had always sounded like adventurers were now very soft.
Elves, singing? (To be continued.) )
