Chapter 892: You Managed to Get My Attention
"Sir, would you like to get acquainted with some elegant and beautiful young lady?"
The goblin next to him smiled like a businessman: "Your noble son-like temperament is very popular with many ladies." Whether it's elves, catwomen, dryads, or vampires, it's your type to ask for a partner right now. ”
"I see you're drinking here alone, so why don't you have a good night with a lady? Don't waste such a tender long night. ”
Roy took a sip of ale: "I'm not interested in women. ”
"Well, of course, if you have other hobbies, such as men, there are also many neutral options, such as the White Bone Ancestors, Blood Elves, and Cactus......"
The goblin didn't give up: "The Secret Art Country is an unrestrained and free place, you can find people in the same way as long as you need it. ”
Roy put down the wooden wine glass: "Is it okay if I don't have any money?" ”
The smile on the other party's face immediately disappeared: "No money? If you don't have money, you can't do it, sir, what are you going to play without money? Don't entertain me, if you have money, feel free to find me, old Ball will arrange for you to be comfortable, you might as well make money if you don't have money. ”
The goblin's eyes rolled: "Then again, would you like to find a way to make money?" ”
"For example, play some interesting games with some rich and noble ladies. It's a night that can be a big one, as long as you can win them over. Maybe you'll be able to enjoy your life in the future. ”
Roy told the other party, "Goblins, find someone else, I just want to drink quietly." ”
"I just think it's a shame that you don't need your good looks...... Disturbed, you drink slowly, may God Yao bless you. ”
Bauer bowed slightly, and took the wine to find the next target.
There was finally silence in my ears.
Roy said to the proprietress who was watching the play, "Another glass of ale." ”
"Bards aren't very common here, and I've only seen you as a troubadour who can leave the forest." The proprietress poured him a full cup: "That old Bauer, behind him is the god of the Twin Snake Country, probably looking for a partner for the noble living apostle over there. ”
Roy picked up his glass and toasted the hostess: "Thank you." ”
"A man of your appearance will always get some gifts." The proprietress smiled: "But I'm also thinking about business, you see, after you came here, there were more women here." A lot of them are staring at you. ”
Roy just drank in silence.
He came here to find a way to break the curse.
It all started when Roy received a letter.
The letter reads.
"Dear Roy,
You managed to get my attention.
I left a special curse on you, and that's the way I like it.
Hate me, hate me as you love me.
You will remember me, and you will seek my name, and I will find my encounter and association with you, and I will wait for you to come to me and call my name."
The letter was not signed, but was made by subtracting and pasting the words on the paper.
Roy didn't care at first.
Soon, however, he found himself unable to sleep.
Although elves don't need sleep, they are more of a way of living, like sitting or standing.
But this change still made Roy feel bad.
Then he found that he was mostly immune to medicines, whether it was magic potions or elixirs, they were ineffective, and no medicine could help him to relieve himself.
Only wine has a little effect.
The curse made Roy more and more tolerant of alcohol, and he initially needed to drink a lot of alcohol before he could temporarily fall into a state of being drunk and soothe himself for a while.
In the Yao world itself, he had already drunk all the wine, but from one day onwards, none of the wine could take effect on him. This was very painful for Roy, who was very mentally tired but completely unable to rest.
He met the female boss in front of him a month ago.
At that time, Roy was looking for new plants in the forest, and some wild plants had a certain paralyzing effect, or brought anesthetic toxins, which was also an effect he was pursuing.
Elves have a natural affinity with nature, and it is easy to identify various plants.
He saw a woman leading a donkey on the mountain.
The woman was wrapped in a long red dress with a black veil on her face, and some silhouettes could be seen dimly, but she couldn't see clearly, just like her eyes, giving people a psychedelic feeling.
With her long hair tucked back and a pair of flower-like glazed stone earrings, she patrolled her garden.
The reason why Roy paid so much attention to this woman was because of a faint aroma emanating from the other party, which was the smell of flowers and wine.
The other party also spotted him and invited him to taste his newly brewed wine.
This is how Roy met the lady named "Rita", and she opened a tavern on the mountainside called "The Long Night Bar".
Rita was amazed to see Roy's ability to stay drunk.
"You were born with wine."
"It's just a sad curse."
Roy recounted what happened to him.
After listening, the female boss showed such an expression: "So, don't you know who caused the curse?" To lift the curse, you have to find the person who issued the curse. ”
"Does anyone love you or hate you?"
Roy didn't know.
He had never had a partner, let alone a marriage, so he was very confused about it.
"You've never been in love with anyone, so that means you've rejected a lot of people, right?" ”
Roy nodded.
The landlady said, "That's a needle in a haystack." ”
Roy reported to the Resurrection Kingdom's vigilante, but it was difficult to find out who was behind a curse.
Actually, it's not impossible.
If Lord Yaoshen can make a move, then such a curse will definitely be removed.
But Roy knew that Lord Yao was very busy, and there were many more people in danger of life and death who were praying for the help of the gods, and those opportunities should be given to those who needed them more.
He prayed more to Sekhmet, the goddess of medicine, in the hope of being healed by the goddess.
However, there has been no news so far.
It is said that because the temple of the sun has been treating the fallen stars all these years, the goddess Sekhmet has also been busy without a moment of rest, and the medical pressure is very high, and the entire temple is full of patients waiting to be treated.
Roy searched every city's sanatorium, but received the same answer: there was no viable cure for the curse, only conservative treatment.
He was therefore in the company of wine.
"That's great," said Rita, "I'm working on a variety of new wines, and if you're willing to be my taster and drink at the bar, I'll serve you a free drink." What do you think? ”
Initially, Roy refused.
The reason is simple.
"I'll bring misfortune upon you."
In fact, Roy was cursed with more than just not being able to rest.
As long as he touches other women, even if he just says a few words, he will cause misfortune to the other party. Those women either fell, or their clothes suddenly slipped and tore and became ugly, or even injured and in a life-and-death crisis.
So Roy basically doesn't take the initiative to talk to women, and he doesn't respond much.
But he was surprised to find that Rita was unusual.
"Don't you feel sick?"
"Nope." The landlady sniffed the new wine in the barrel and said casually, "I am a faithful believer in Dionysus, and Dionysian protects this place so that the curse cannot be effective here." ”
Roy decided to stay.
……
When I came back to my senses, there was another glass of wine on the table.
Roy saw that the liquid in the cup was bright red, like rose petals in the garden.
"The Long Night, this is my special wine, which is only served to special guests, and the production is very small. Taste it. The landlady stretched out her hand to signal.
Roy took a bite.
On the palate it is intense, with a strong honey and floral aroma, and it is smooth and supple on the throat.
After entering his belly, he suddenly felt a little shaky, but this feeling quickly disappeared.
Roy was a little excited.
It was the first time since the curse that he had experienced such a strong feeling of drunkenness and dizziness.
The female boss smiled and asked, "How is it, are you okay?" ”
That's nice.
Roy tried to speak, but found that he couldn't straighten his tongue and his body wouldn't listen.
Rita looked at him with a strange misty look, "Dear Roy, you finally found me, didn't you?" It seems that the body is still very honest. ”
She lifted her hand, her slender fingers pinching Roy's chin.
Roy was creepy for a moment, and he was smart.
He looked at the glass, and the wine was still as red as blood. Rita was still busy pouring drinks for the guests, and the whole bar was still noisy.
Was it a drunken vision?
But that scene seemed too real for Roy to tell.
I happen to ask for the help of the wine, and I meet the proprietress Rita and come here, and it all seems to be exactly as described in the letter. Could it be that Rita is really the one who cursed him?
But I don't remember seeing Rita before.
He was a little distraught.
At this time, a new guest sat next to him, and the man raised his index finger: "Boss, a glass of "intoxication", with ice. ”
"Okay."
Rita and he chatted very familiarly.
The man who came was a man with a thick beard, tall and small, but very melancholy in his eyes.
"If you still feel like a failure, then there are no successful people in this tavern." Rita smiled and wiped the wine stains on the table with a rag and said, "Mr. Kim, would you like to try the latest Long Night?" ”
"New wine?"
"If you want to know the taste, ask Mr. Roy."
Mr. Hujin looked at it: "What do you say about the taste?" ”
Roy said, "Will have strange dreams. ”
"Have a drink."
Mr. Jin drank it all after getting it, and the next second he collapsed on the table and fell into a baby-like sleep.
Rita looked over, "Mr. Roy, can you help me watch Mr. Kim?" It's been a bit busy today. ”
"Okay."
"Thank you, then."
Mr. Kim wakes up at dawn, which is also when the tavern closes.
He looked at Roy, "It's true that he can dream." ”
The big man said, "You have a curse on you. ”
"Yes, it's hard for me to get drunk."
"That's a terrible curse indeed." Mr. Jin said: "Let's talk when we have time, we have something to do today, so let's go first." ”
Roy watched the other man leave.
He noticed that Mr. King was lying on his stomach, and the table was charred black, like marks from flames or lightning.
