Chapter 020: Weird
In just a few days, Favien and Winnie had searched all over the vicinity of Red Maple Town, and even some of the areas they had chosen had been explored. At present, the chip has completely recorded the environment around Red Maple Town, even if he closes his eyes and only follows the map recorded by the chip, he will not hit any trees, but they have not found anything related to the entrance of the ruins, which makes him doubt the authenticity of the map in his hand.
Another morning, instead of going to the outskirts of the town to search for the ruin's entrance, Favian walked around the town slowly, and since the map showed that the ruin's entrance was nearby, there should be some useful clues to be found in the town.
However, after only a few turns, Favian felt that the town was constantly revealing a strange feeling, as if there were some important things that he had overlooked, but the chip was still constantly recording everything around him, of course, these were done through Favian's eyes and perception. And he looked at the data that the chip kept recording in his mind, but found nothing, which made him very helpless.
Just as Favian was pondering what was strange, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves, which gradually became clear as time passed.
"The sound of horses' hooves. Someone actually came to Red Maple Town at this time?" Favian looked at the direction where the sound of the horse's hooves was heard, and had a faint premonition in his heart, they were also here for the wizard ruins.
"The sound of horses' hooves!" Favian suddenly slapped his head after repeating a few words about the sound of horses' hooves.
He knew what was wrong, the whole town was a little too quiet! Not to mention, there were at least two or three hundred people in the town. But in the few days he came, he didn't find a single animal call. He hadn't even seen anyone leave Red Maple Town, so where did the meat he and Winnie eat come from?
What's even more bizarre is that when Favian explores the vicinity of the town, there is not even a trace of insect chirping! It wasn't until he and Winnie explored the distant part that there were traces of biological activity.
Thinking of this, Favian's face couldn't help but be a little gloomy, what the hell is this town?
It wasn't until the sound of horses' hooves approached that Favian pulled him back from his thoughts.
There were two fiery red carriages, each with two sturdy black horses, but the badges with different patterns on the two carriages reminded Favian that they did not seem to be members of the same family.
"Hello, is there a hotel here?" asked the groom in front of Favian as the carriage in front of him asked.
At this time, Favian was the only one on the street, which made him unusually conspicuous.
"Right up ahead, well, there's the wooden sign. However, there may be no rooms anymore. Favian gestured to the "Nord Hotel" in front of him.
"It's all right, sir, thank you very much for your guidance!" the groom nodded a little gratefully, and drove the carriage toward the hotel.
Favian did not move, and under his watchful eye, when the carriage arrived at the hotel, a black knight jumped out of the carriage in front of him, and he jumped out of the carriage and looked towards the "Nord Hotel", but did not move, because the owner of the hotel had already stepped out of the shop.
"I'm Arsenod, the owner of the inn, do you want to stay?"
"Yes, I don't know what the price of accommodation is?"
"Ten silver coins a night in a room, oh! your horse is so strong, and if it costs two more silver coins, I will feed it well!"
"Well, the price is acceptable, three rooms. ”
。。。。。。
After Favian heard their conversation on the spot, his pupils shrank sharply, and he suddenly felt a little creepy. The words of the innkeeper, as well as the expressions and movements he revealed, were exactly the same as when Favian first arrived!
And Favian remembered very well that there were only two rooms at the back of the shop! He and Winnie lived in one, and Martin lived in the other! Thinking of this, Favian quickly walked towards the hotel.
The black knight was wary of Favian's approach, but Favien didn't pay any attention and walked briskly through the somewhat dark corridors of the shop. After entering the small courtyard, Favian was a little stunned.
The five rooms at the back of the shop are neatly arranged, and the owner of the inn is cleaning in one of them.
At that moment, Winnie stepped out of the second room on the right.
"Someone else else is moving in besides us?" Seeming to see the innkeeper cleaning the room, Winnie whispered to Favian. It seems that the three extra rooms already existed!
After hearing Winnie's words, Favian's face suddenly became embarrassed.
Damn, even Winnie has been affected by this!, Favian cursed in his heart.
"You go tell Martin that we're leaving here today and going to Elven Town!" Although Winnie didn't understand why Favien suddenly decided to abandon this place and go to Elven Town, she didn't say much, but turned and walked to the room on the far right, which was Martin's room.
"Mr. Arsenord, our business is almost done, and we plan to leave Red Maple Town today. While Winnie and Martin were packing up, Favian took the keys to the two rooms and walked into the room where the innkeeper was cleaning. He planned to say goodbye directly to the innkeeper, and as for the remaining silver coins, it didn't matter if they were returned or not.
"Sir, I don't advise you to do that. Arsenord was still wiping the dust on the floor with a rag, and he didn't lift his head.
Favian's body stiffened suddenly, and he stood still, motionless. The moment he was about to hand over the key, it was as if a flood beast was staring at him, making him feel like he was going to suffocate. He believes that as long as the key leaves his hand, there will be a life-and-death crisis in the next moment!
"You'd better stay until the rent is due and then leave. Arsenord quickly finished wiping down the last of the floor, and before he went out with the bucket, the words came softly.
With him was the unknown being, Favian as if he had been drowning in the water for a long time, sweating and panting heavily.
Whew!Whew!!
Favian stood motionless, his eyes flickering and changing, as if he had made some decision and became dark and deep again, and after a few moments, he pushed open the door and walked out with a nonchalant expression.
At this moment, five people walked up to him, led by the man in black, boasting a noble cross sword at his waist, instead of a knight's sword focused on battle. The advantage of the cross sword is that it is light and agile.
He was followed by a girl in a black robe, with a little boy of about eleven or twelve years old in her hand. The black robe on the girl's body was wide and fat, completely hiding her figure inside the robe, making it difficult to see whether she was fat or thin.
The last two men were leading the stuff with large bags, apparently their grooms.
Favian noticed that the little boy seemed to be swaying nervously, one of his hands being held by the girl, and the other hand holding a wooden box about the size of a child's head.
Suddenly, as if he didn't notice the steps under his feet, the little boy almost fell, although he was pulled by the girl in time, but the box in his hand fell to the ground, and he rolled to Favian's feet with a grunt, and then something fell out of the box.
The moment he saw this thing, Favian sensed an unknown being in the void of the town, and fluctuated slightly. It seems that this thing makes it (he) take it very seriously.
Even Favian's gaze couldn't help but sharpen, and he said in his heart several times in a row, so it was. What did he see?
Favian crouched down, put the object in the box, and handed it back to the boy amid the girl's constant thanks.
politely replied that it was okay. Favian walked around them to his room.
Because of Favian's statement to leave today, Winnie and Martin had almost packed their things.
Then, because of Favian's sentence not to leave for the time being, he had to put things back, and he would probably be busy until the evening when he was completely ready.
"How well does the chip fit the pattern behind the map?" Favian ignored the busy duo, and as soon as he entered the bedroom, he took the map and asked the chip.
"Ding! Match is complete! The item and the pattern fit 97%!"
Hearing the chip match, Favian couldn't help but snap his fingers.
Now he understands why he has not been able to find the ruins, it turns out that the map in his hand is not only used to guide the way, but also equivalent to the lock of the ruins, but the real key is not in his hand.
Yes, Favian calculated that the map in his hand should be the lock of the ruins, because the six-star pattern behind the map was the same size as the six-star mang, which just fit. The Six-Star Mangjin Array Disk should be the real key to the ruins.
Without a map and a six-star array, the gate of the ruins is equivalent to having no gaps, and when the lock and key are gathered, there is hope of opening the gate.
It seems that it is necessary to plan carefully, but it cannot be rash, after all, there is an unknown powerhouse in the void of the town.
"Chip, call up the data of those three people before!" Favian asked the chip to test the strength of the other party as soon as he left the room.
"Ding!Unnamed!Strength:5.4 Agility:6.7 Constitution:5.6 Spirit:1.0 Status:Health!" This is the man in black, a very serious agility knight.
"Ding!Unnamed!Strength: 2.3 Agility: 2.5 Constitution: 2.3 Spirit: 6.8 Status: Health!"
"Ding!Unnamed!Strength: 0.7 Dexterity: 0.6 Constitution: 0.7 Spirit: 1.5 Status: Health!"
Favian stood in front of the window and looked thoughtfully at the town's sky, which was still pale even in the evening. The sun's rays don't seem to work at all.
