Chapter 891, Chance Encounter
(Continue to ask for a commuter pass)
By the time the red-haired adventurer stumbled to his feet with the help of his teammates, Sylvia had already turned to the tavern bar and tapped the dirty wooden surface with her hand to signal the entire tavern to be quiet. In fact, there was no sound in the tavern now, and even the bartender standing behind the bar was holding a heavy oak wine glass in his hand, and stared blankly at the uninvited guests who entered the tavern.
"I just came out of the mountains because there are things that require us and we will soon be in the mountains. We are a little unfamiliar with the current situation, who will tell me what has happened recently that something important, but let us miss? ”
Sylvia looked around and continued, "Don't try to deceive us, look at this priest beside me, I think you should understand what will happen to deceiving us." ”
The bartender at the back of the tavern asked with some uneasiness, "Can I ask?" ……”
Sylvia directly interrupted the other party's question and said very seriously: "No, don't ask us any questions, what we are engaged in is very important, so we will not answer your questions." We're not going to stay in this town for long, you just need to tell us, what's going on lately? ”
"Uh,...... No, no, nothing happened, everything was normal. ”
Seeing the bartender shaking his head, Xiao Yan gently patted Sylvia's shoulder and motioned for her to get out of the way. The Young Awakened then handed Norel over to the female vampire and walked over to the bar, staring at the bartender. Say as calmly as possible, "Oh. I say. Don't you feel that there is something uncomfortable in this room? ”
The muscles on the bartender's face twitched slightly, and then he replied with a flattering smile, "Really?" I think it's normal, maybe it's because you've been in the mountains for too long, sir, that's why you feel so uncomfortable. ”
Xiao Yan nodded and said, "It sounds true, you know, there is a saying in my hometown, it is so." If there is one thing. It sounds real, it smells real, it looks real, and most likely it's true. ”
The bartender looked at Xiao Yan and said, "I'm sorry, oh, sir, I don't really understand what you mean by this." ”
Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Don't understand? I mean, if a tavern, it sounds like a fake. Smells like fake, looks like fake. So much of it is fake. ”
As soon as the words fell, a light scripture book suddenly floated next to Quist behind Xiao Yan, and the scripture book kept flipping, and then the whole space seemed to suddenly become a little darker. The only difference was that the adventurers in the entire tavern, along with the bartender, suddenly burst into a bright red light. The light was so obvious that even the faces of these people were blurred.
"Heretics!"
Quister shouted, and now he finally realized what Xiao Yan was saying that the taste in this tavern was wrong. In this very old, decades-old tavern, the smell of turpentine is unmistakable. This peculiar smell of painting furniture, or new furniture, appears in this tavern very abruptly. Rather, this turpentine flavor is meant to disguise some other flavors. For example, the smell of these people in taverns.
The bartender seemed to be able to sense the red light on his body, but it didn't mean anything anymore, Xiao Yan had already taken out the dagger in his hand, and at that moment, the dagger began to become extremely hideous.
Xiao Yan didn't rush to attack, he didn't want to make a move too early and let himself break the rules before these people showed definite hostility. But he has other options besides attacking, such as threatening.
Xiao Yan flipped the dagger in his hand, stared at the bartender opposite who had changed his face greatly, and asked, "Say, what do you want to do at this time, appearing in this place?" ”
The bartender stared at Xiao Yan and gradually began to laugh, and with this cruel smile, his entire head began to gradually deform. Not only him, but most of the adventurers in the tavern began to deform. However, the red-haired adventurer who was still laughing wildly just now did not appear any red light, nor did it deform now. He watched in surprise as his companions changed their images one by one, and hurriedly ran towards Xiao Yan and them, and even stumbled on the road because of this.
"Nezumen?"
Xiao Yan looked at the changed shapes of these adventurers and bartenders in front of him, and frowned slightly. These people now look no different from the big rats, except that they don't have tails and their mouths aren't so sharp, but the two front teeth in their mouths look sharper than normal mice.
Hearing Xiao Yan's whispered question, the bartender who eventually turned into a rat man easily put down the six wooden wine glasses in his hand, which together with the ale inside, weighed enough for an adult to bear. And the fact that this originally thin-looking bartender was able to hold these glasses so easily, which was the beginning of Xiao Yan's feeling that there was something wrong with the bar.
A bartender can have so much strength, and there are many places that are more suitable for him, but it should not be a tavern that looks dilapidated.
"We have problems with each other."
The bartender's voice is more like a leaky bellows, snorting and not easy to hear. The bartender didn't look so afraid of the dagger in Xiao Yan's hand, but Xiao Yan could see the jealousy in the other party's eyes, and it was obvious that even if he became like this, the bartender still had a natural instinct about what danger was.
Looking at Xiao Yan, the bartender continued, "We can make an exchange, yes, a small exchange." ”
Xiao Yan suddenly stabbed the dagger on the bar, and the sharp dagger sank directly into the heavy pine wood on the surface of the bar, until the entire dagger was completely submerged in the bar. At the moment when the dagger reached the deepest point, a metal impact sound of "ding" made the eyes of Xiao Yan and the bartender narrow at the same time. Immediately after that, a light suddenly bloomed under Xiao Yan's feet, and dozens of bone claws appeared instantly, one of which suddenly grabbed a rat-man who rushed from the wine table and shook it away. At the same time, the bartender quietly held a long sword in his hand, and the surface of this long sword had countless scale-like waves, and as these waves continued to ripple, the whole tavern seemed to be submerged in the lake, and the room was full of those rippling lights.
"Hey, stay calm, sir, stay calm."
When the bartender saw that almost all the bone claws behind Xiao Yan were facing him, he finally called a pause, and he took out a narrow shield from under the bar, on the shield, the traces of Xiao Yan's dagger piercing just now were vividly visible. It was impossible for a metal device to appear under the bar of a tavern, so at the moment when the metal sound sounded, Xiao Yan immediately made a more accurate judgment.
Seeing that Xiao Yan didn't speak, and at the same time didn't withdraw those bone claws, and Xiao Yan's companions had already begun to make new preparations for battle at this time, the bartender finally said, "Okay, okay." We are not hostile to each other, to be exact, we should be friends. ”
"Be friends with the infidels and wait a few hundred more years."
Quister replied for Xiao Yan, in fact, this sentence is not wrong at all, hundreds of years later, people have learned to respect each other's religious beliefs. But not yet, the fruits of hatred planted by religion are in full bloom.
The bartender took a step back again, his slender arms, which were a little out of proportion to his body, were becoming bulging, and at the same time, an indescribable aura appeared beside him. These auras are completely different from Xiao Yan's known magic circle system, or the skill system of the World Tree of the World, and they look even more weird.
"I'm not an infidel, we just don't believe in your Lord."
The bartender said such a big rebellious thing to Quister, no matter how Quister's face changed, he turned his head to look at Xiao Yan and said, "Okay, let's not get around the topic, how about continuing the transaction just now?" ”
Xiao Yan didn't pay attention to the bartender, but turned his head to look at the adventurers who had become rat people, and now the adventurers who belonged to humans in the tavern and remained awake were the only red-haired young man who had escaped to Xiao Yan's side just now, as for the remaining 3 human adventurers, they were now lying on the ground, and they didn't know if they were alive or dead.
"I'm not interested in trading, especially with you. I just want to know who you are, where you come from, and why you're staying here. ”
"We're waiting for you, oh, I should say, we're waiting for that cute little girl."
The words of the nezumi bartender made Norel suddenly pull Silvia's arm, like a monster, and the little girl began to be afraid, just like Xiao Yan said, there are too many things and lives in this world that she does not know.
"I'm scared."
Norel whispered, as close as she could to Sylvia. Sylvia reached out and took the shrunken child in her arms, then looked at the enemies in front of her, and said, "You'd better make it clear, or I won't mind turning this place into a place of disaster." ”
"Oh, don't be nervous, don't be nervous. We really don't mean it, and we don't know you're here, but rather, it's a chance encounter, just a chance encounter. ”
The aura on the bartender's body began to collide with the bone claws around Xiao Yan, which made Xiao Yan feel that something was a little abnormal, and this aura and the bone claws themselves did not inherently contradict each other. In other words, although the aura released by this bartender was not any skill system known to Xiao Yan, it was not a skill system of the New World Lu Realm. To put it more figuratively, this is a set of circles that follow the existing system of laws, but are completely different from the other four systems. (To be continued......)
