12 - Inn

Lost in the forest, the mysterious adventurer encounters a caravan of idiots who are unsuspecting of strangers, and follows them to a brand new town......

What a vulgar beginning!

Doug sighed, gathered his old clothes, and hugged Fifian who was sleeping in his arms a little tighterβ€”it wasn't the real world, but the cold feeling was still uncomfortable. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 According to the little girl, even the time here is not real, and depending on the technology used, it can be thousands of times worse.

The lights of the city could already be faintly seen in front of him, and the "merchants" at the front of the line began to get excited, and Doug swayed slightly with the carriage, squinting at these vivid performances, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"It's here!"

The leading merchant woke everyone behind him with a loud voice, "Hurry up, there will be hot Rapp wine soon!"

He rode a low, ugly horse, shouting and running up and down the procession, and after three or four times the whole group 'woke up', and the voices gradually increased, and the windows of the carriages lit up, just like the real scene in the real world.

"Hey, big man. ”

The leading merchant leaned over and greeted Doug boldly, who lazily raised his hand and shook it for the sake of the 'plot', which was regarded as a response: "Your son is really spiritual, and he will definitely become a great samurai in the future!"

"Ah...... Thank you. ”

Doug expertly put on a polite smile. By 'spirit' the merchant meant that Fifian was running almost everywhere after encountering the caravan, in the name of 'field research' - if he hadn't followed closely, he would have slipped out several times: "You're about to get to the city, right?"

"Yes, it's coming soon, hahahaha!" the merchant laughed cheerfully, "I said, big man, what are you going to do when you get to the city?β€”oh, speaking of which, there seem to be a lot of lost travelers like you in this forest lately, and you can go to the city and inquire about it." ”

"Okay, thank you. ”

Doug smiled - here, the 'plot' is going to go on.

"You're welcome! It's a lot of money to have children, isn't it?If you don't have enough money, I can introduce you to some odd jobs......" The leading businessman was really sympathetic.

"Thank you. ”

Doug remembered the simple villagers in his village, and his smile became more sincere: "Money, I still have a little." ”

Although he is naked, the world will definitely not let the plot fail to develop because he has no money, although he can rest assured.

"Well, I hope to meet again in a surprise corner of the mainland in the future!"

The merchant said goodbye to Doug very cheerfully, slapped the horse on the neck, and sped back to the front of the group.

Doug stared at his back, the smile on his lips gone.

"Hey, get up. ”

He gently patted Fei Fei'an's head in his arms, and his eyes returned to coldness: "The plot is going to continue to develop!"

"Ohβ€”"

Fifian, who was sleeping soundly, responded in a daze, because he felt the cold, and subconsciously rubbed on Doug's warm chest, then opened his eyes, and after looking around for a long time, he finally remembered where he was.

"What's wrong?"

She asked, sleepy.

"The plot is going to develop. ”

Doug knew what he had just said, "It seems that he wants us to go into the city and inquire about the news." ”

"Oh. ”

Fifian got up, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and carefully observed the outline of the city in front of him, which was getting clearer and clearer: "Hey, this city, I seem to have an impression......

She touched her chin in contemplation, and after a moment she said, "I remember, this is the famous tourist city in history that was destroyed by the wailing of dragons after the death of Lona Saidis, the City of Wailing - here it should still be called 'La Ponte', right?"

"La Ponte?"

Doug raised an eyebrow: "The ruins of the legend that were destroyed by a sudden earthquake thousands of years ago and almost no people survived?"

"Well, it's still obscure, and when Linax's manuscript is unearthed, its ruins will become a tourist mecca - we're probably the only ones lucky enough to see it as it is!"

Fifian nodded, and then neither of them spoke again, with a somewhat complicated mood, watching intently as the city in front of them got closer and closer, gradually revealing its majestic original appearance.

"It's so big......"

Doug couldn't help but sigh. The city was far more magnificent than Xi'an, the gates were built like temples, and Xi'an was already the most magnificent city he had ever seen.

At the sound of his exclamation, the caravan entered the city gate in order, and a warm atmosphere suddenly came to his face, unaffected by the cold weather, the streets were full of endless crowds, the light of various signboards flickered everywhere, almost as long as day, there was no need for lighting at all, and Xi'an could only compare with this place at night in memory of the 'Glorious Festival'.

From time to time, words like 'dragon' and 'lost stranger' could be heard in the mouths of people coming and going, and Doug and Fifian glanced at each other and smiled tacitly.

"You're going to go with me?"

Doug asked in a low voice.

As a result, Fifian woke up cold and gave Doug the task of 'continuing to move the plot forward'.

"Let's go. ”

Doug walked back a moment later: "Some of the lost people who are 'very similar to us' have been to the bar 'Whispering Fragrance' and then left the city 'with a happy expression'. ”

"Whispering?"

"I've been to its ruins, it's a very famous place, and it's said that Linax and Lornathedex often take on human form and come to this shop for trysts...... Hmm, is itβ€”"

"Just check it out?"

A smile appeared at the corner of Doug's mouth, "I've already inquired about the road." ”

Ten minutes later, the two of them pushed open the whispering, fragrant door.

"It's beautiful. ”

Fifian strolled in, looking up at the natural and gorgeous decoration of Whisper Fragrance, the elegance and delicacy that came out of his bones, and couldn't help but feel a little moved: "No wonder Linax chose such a place to have a tryst with Lorna Saides......"

Doug beside her was a little disappointed. After glancing around, he realized that the place was not attractive to him at all, there was no wide variety of good wines, and there were no coquettish and hot hostesses - the whispering fragrance only sold the spirited elf fruit wine, and the waiters who wore fake ears and dressed as elves for the needs of the role were all flat girls who didn't even have a little curvature on their chests, which really made him have no appetite at all.

"Huh?"

Fifian suddenly whispered softly, his little hand grabbed Doug's hand vigorously, and his voice trembled unconsciously: "-Linax!!"

She stared at a table in the corner of the whispered fragrance, too nervous to breathe.

Doug followed her gaze and saw a young man in a black dress sitting next to the table, with black hair, black eyes, a pale and elegant face, a face comparable to that of Thorpe Mandis, only a little thin, pursed his lips tightly, his eyes lowered, and the whole person showed a very unique sense of presence, or rather a faint oppression, and the people around him would unconsciously lower their voices and be cautious in their words and deeds, for fear of offending.

"He's Linax, the dragon lich?"

Doug looked at the boy who looked about the same age as himself, leaned down and asked Fifian, "It seems to have a bad temper!"

"Now he should be called Linax @Midnight, the youngest magic genius of the dragon clan!"

Fifian's voice was still very excited, but he finally let go of the hand that grabbed Doug's clothes: "If your lover is about to marry someone else, you will also look bad-tempered - tomorrow is the wedding, and he is now full of anger, almost a walking bomb!"

"Oh, that's right. ”

Doug responded, turned his head to look at the other customers in the store, but unexpectedly swept his gaze, and was very surprised to see a familiar face at a certain table, his eyes instantly narrowed, and he gently touched Fifian beside him, signaling her to look in the direction she was staring at.

β€œ...... Hudher!?"

Fifian looked at the familiar set of dry white hair on the huge shiny head, and opened his mouth wide in disbelief: "How could he be here?"

"You should ask why he's still aliveβ€”"

Doug briefly let out a sneer, his right hand habitually moving in his sleeve, and only after touching the void did he remember that this was a virtual world, and there was no dagger to use, and he couldn't help but sigh - but then he remembered that his image had changed, and he relaxed with relief.

He is now wearing the old clothes given by the 'caravan', and the sleeves are slightly shorter, just to reveal the mysterious magic pattern on the back of his hand, except for the fact that his body is a little similar, his current face shape and complexion are completely different from the disguised Tutang Carmen, and it should not be so easy to recognize.

"Hi ......"

Perhaps sensing the gaze, Hudhel had already spotted them, and his stiff eyes glared at him, and he greeted slowly: "You're here too......"

"You're here too?"

Fifian sat down in his chair, his expression looking tired and irritable: "We really have the same disease - the person who blasphemed the tower is really unreliable, even if he has been with him for decades and calls him a teacher, he still only cares about his own life at the critical moment!"

"Oh......"

Hudhel looked at her, then stiffly at Doug, "You've also been used as a shield?...... This is ?......"

His withered face had strange lines as if he were smiling.

"yes!"

Fei Fei snorted angrily and took a sip of the fruit wine, but it was very sweet, and he couldn't help but take a few more sips: "This is a demon servant given to me by the elders of the clan, fortunately he can summon him, otherwise I will die in the forest!--How did you escape the catastrophe?"

"Well, maybe my meat isn't fresh......"

Hudher's style of speaking is really impatient, sticky: "They grabbed me, took a few bites, and then gave up...... Cast me down from heaven...... When I woke up again, I was in this city...... Other than that, the memories were a complete mess, and I couldn't remember anything. ”

"Ah, we just woke up in the forest, and we came into the city when we met a caravan. ”

Fifian sighed in frustration, "What kind of place is this?"

"I don't know much about ...... either"

Hou Dehel looked around slowly, "But I heard on the way that many people have come to this continent for the same reason recently, and the last thing they visited was this hotel, so I also came......"

"Yes, yes!"

Before Hudher's words were finished, a 'elf hostess' who passed by with a drink next to him quickly picked up, and the freckles on his face that were not covered by pink were very playful: "Recently, there have been a lot of travelers in the city who have come here for no reason, and they have all been instructed by our kind boss and left happily!"

"Kind boss......"

Hudher turned his head and saw a man dressed in great style and adorned with at least a kilogram of gems at the bar on the other side, toasting the place.

"yes, he's the kindest guy in town!" the freckled elf smiled mischievously, then lowered his voice, "as long as you have enough money!"

"Oh, thanks, I see!"

Fifian thanked the hostess with a smile, stood up and walked over to the hotel owner, and stood in front of the bar: "We are travelers who have been lost here for some reason...... I heard you know something we need?"

"Oh, of course, of course. ”

The owner of the hotel showed a gentle smile, and the jewel on his collar shone brightly: "I can provide you with everything you want to know...... But you see, I am a believer in the god of conservation, and if you get this from me without giving anything, you are going against my faith!"

The God of Conservation...... Barones?

Doug and Fifian briefly glanced at each other, both surprised.
