The Long Night Bar opens at sunset and closes at sunrise the next day.

It is possible to reach this place by crossing slippery, steep narrow mountain roads and through a wet and labyrinthine forest. Therefore, most of the regulars here have extraordinary abilities, some land in flying boats, some turn into big birds, and some ride the wind and clouds.

Because Roy didn't need to rest, he usually sat in the trees and meditated, or looked around for plants suitable for winemaking.

It's hard to see Rita until the door opens.

When the door opens, she always stands in the bar and welcomes every guest with grace and courtesy.

As the only staff member here, Roy received a lot of attention.

The vast majority of them were female customers, who implicitly gave him handkerchiefs, quills, silver or enamel lapels, and unrestrained invited him directly to the other's place of residence or hotel.

Roy refused.

Women who are close to themselves will only become unlucky.

It was protected by the god of wine, but not after leaving.

Two days later, Mr. Kim came to the bar again.

He looked in good spirits that day, changed his previous depression, raised his head and chest highly, and seemed to have encountered something good.

"What do you want to drink today?" Rita asked.

"Sour berry wine, on the rocks."

Mr. Kim happily drank three glasses in a row, and then wiped his beard with his big hand and laughed.

"Cool, cool!"

He also seems to need someone to share his joy with, but Rita is busy, so he finds Roy.

"Dude, you're an elf, so you know what it takes to plant trees. If we don't have manpower, it's very difficult to spread a large forest area in a short period of time just by sowing seeds, and that's what we're doing, and we need a lot of people, a lot of people."

Mr. Jin took a sip of wine: "Before, all our workers ran away, and there was no way to do it, because the workers could not survive, so they had to run, or they were hired by others for better wages. We can't do business, we leave the place we used to have, there are strong local forces over there, we are not opponents, we have to leave."

"Then we went to the current chief, the big boss, and he gave us a piece of land, a very large piece of land, and gave us workers. The workers are doing a good job, and we are also running. Everything is fine!"

"The most important thing is that in the past, those guys were fighting around in a barren mountain. Now that we've jumped out, we don't need to, we have our own territory, and it won't be long before we can fight back. We're going to be mighty, and we're going to take over the woods!"

Roy raised his glass, "Congratulations."

"Hahahaha!"

Mr. King's beard curled up triumphantly.

You can see that he is really happy, and he cares a lot about his forest farm.

Mr. Kim said, "What's the matter with your curse?"

Roy told him again.

"You're a curse of the Old Gods."

Mr. Kim narrowed his eyes.

Roy was stunned: "The curse of the old gods, is that the curse before the fall of the gods?"

"It's hard to say." The other touched his beard with his hand, "I don't know much about curses, but a friend does. I told him to come and ask."

Mr. Kim walked out.

Before Roy had finished his drink, Mr. King came in with a friend.

The man was wrapped in armor, but this was not uncommon, and ghosts and special ethnic groups were accustomed to wearing armor.

Mr. Kim introduced, "This is Master Jue, he is a well-informed monk."

Master Jue looked at Roy for a while and said, "It is recorded in the Futu that there are two ways to [curse the old gods], one is that the godhead of the god can complete a curse seal when it is broken, and the other is that the existence that was once a god can also cast a curse with the title. The strength of the curse of the old gods is related to the strength of the caster."

"The [Old God's Curse] on your body is the highest lv99, which is unrecognizable to ordinary people, and it is a negative effect that is difficult to remove."

Roy felt strange, "So it was a fallen god who cast the curse on me, or a god from the past?"

"Yes."

The Armored Monk continued, "Only a god can lift the curse of the Old Gods, but this curse is too high to erase it. Recovery is always much more difficult than destruction."

Mr. Kim asked, "How much does it cost?"

"Billions of faith powers, and a godhead to absorb curses."

「……」

Mr. Kim's face also changed.

Roy sighed.

Such conditions are simply impossible for me to have.

Master Jue thought about it again, "However, there is a place where special negative effects can be eliminated."

"The Silver Plains on the other side of the world, there is a completely different world over there, and the rule power of our world will be invalid when it enters there, and it is a forbidden area for gods that is even more thorough than the bordering zone."

In the Silver Plains, the existing power will gradually become ineffective.

If you stay there for 15 days, you will lose all your supernatural powers. Converted to Yao time, it is 30 years.

Most of the people working in the local research stations are the white bone ancestors, and they have almost all lost their little strength, and even their [Endurance] and [Order] will also disappear.

The only thing you can rely on is mutual trust, the strength of your body itself, and the knowledge accumulated in your head.

It is not only these forces that will be eliminated locally, but also the negative characteristics caused by various rules.

The monk told Roy, "Even in the best-case scenario, you remove the curse of the Old Gods over there, but you will lose the powers of the elves and no longer have a long life."

"On top of that, the conditions over there are difficult and dangerous, with a lot of unknown risks. Please decide carefully."

Roy felt a glimmer of hope.

For him, he would rather lose his short and comfortable life than be tormented by the haunting curse.

This was Roy's rejection of the cursed man.

The most important thing is that it is something that can be done on his own strength and makes him feel at ease.

However, Roy is going to learn more about the Silver Plains, and he needs to be prepared.

……

Roy spent a whole year at the Long Night Bar, and during that year, he figured out why so many people always came here for a drink.

The various "nectar" made by the boss can make everyone dream.

For example, "Long Night" will transform all kinds of stress into dream punctures, so as to release depression and reduce mental burden.

"Intoxication" is to let people specialize in sweet dreams, and immerse themselves in the dream of things that are difficult to achieve, so as to make up for regrets and fulfill long-cherished wishes. Quite a few people are here for this.

"Immersion" has the opposite effect, constructing a cruel and tormenting illusion that makes people experience pain while half-drunk and half-awake.

At first, Roy was puzzled, and there were many customers who liked to sink.

Do you still feel happy to be tortured?

Is pain also a pleasure?

Later, he slowly understood.

The cruel dreams woven by sinking can keep people awake and discard weakness, and can also make some people see what failure will make them become, which is more like a kind of self-alert for many people.

One day, a woman in a black dress came to the bar.

As soon as she appeared, there was an unsettling atmosphere in the place.

Although the previous long night bar was noisy, everyone maintained a tacit understanding that conflicts and contradictions would be controlled within a range.

However, the arrival of the woman in the black dress today broke a certain balance, first two customers who were originally smiling and chatting had a big fight, and they directly took out two black magic sprays, killing and injuring one on the spot, and the scene fell into chaos.

Immediately afterwards, a group of people also went from rescuing the wounded to arguing, and then turned into a melee, and the whole tavern was filled with a strong smell of blood.

The woman in the black dress sat in a chair and admired it all with a smile on her face.

The boss sues

Tell her, "You are not welcome here, please leave."

It was the first time Roy had seen Rita look so angry.

"It's too much, I'm just having a glass of wine, it's obviously their problem, why should it be blamed on me?" The woman put one hand on her cheek and looked sad: "Is it also sinful to look at it?"

"You know you're here, and you're going to drive them crazy." Rita said coldly, "Please don't come here again."

The woman crossed her long legs and looked sideways at the boss, "Then give me a cup of 'Long Night'."

"Nope."

"It's cold."

The woman frowned: "I came all the way here just to have a glass of wine, and later I have to collect information for the big guys, and do a good job of broadcasting and expression management." What a miserable life it is to not be able to get a glass of wine after hard work."

She noticed Roy next to her, "Mr. Elf, can you give me your 'Long Night'?"

Roy handed her the liquor she hadn't drunk yet.

"Thank you."

The other party took the wine glass, took a sip gently, and squinted his eyes to show a happy look: "After a busy day, a long night is the best."

"Thank you for the wine, and since we are destined, then I will also help you make a little change."

She looked at Roy left and right.

"You're not in good shape, you're under the [Old God Curse], hey, you've offended a powerful character."

Roy gave a brief account of his situation.

"I know who cursed you."

She looked thoughtful, "That kind of behavior, as well as the tone of words, and this way of power, is the [Heavenly Dominator] Ishtar. There will be no one else."

"Ishtar would do such a thing, and he would put a curse on the men who could not get it, and torture them. Of course you won't remember what she looks like, and your presence won't be remembered."

"But now she's probably forgotten about you, Ishtar loves the new and hates the old, and is always looking for someone new to like. Poor elf, you are really unlucky."

It was the first time Roy had heard the name.

"Goodbye then." The woman in black stood up, put down her wine glass, and walked lightly into the night.

As soon as she left, the whole bar suddenly returned to normal. The struggling customers quickly stopped fighting, and a hint of confusion appeared on each other's faces, as if they couldn't understand why they had become the way they had been.

Roy asked Rita, "Boss, who was that guy just now?"

"[Tongue of Charm] Cecia, a great demon, is here." Rita looked at the door, "When she appears, she changes everything and takes the situation to the other extreme. It's in her nature and it's her hobby."

"Although Cecia is not a demon of the Demon Association, she is the announcer of hell of Lord Yaoshen. Here she regained her true instincts, but she must be well-behaved and obedient in front of Lord Yaoshen, she should be under a lot of pressure and suffocated......

Roy was stunned.

The Long Night Bar, it seems, is also a gas station for demons.

He suddenly thought.

Could it be that telling herself about the source of the curse of the old gods is also part of her game?

Roy felt it was time for a change.

He wasn't sure if it was the effect of Cecia's power.

He must remove the curse of the Heavenly Lady and no longer be the prey of the markers.

Rita said, "Good luck then, and I'll invite you to drink when you come back."

The two raised their glasses and bumped.
