Chapter 1: A Visitor from Another World

Next Chapter

The darkness of the night enveloped the entire night forest, the gloomy sky was not showing a single light, the wind swept up the coin-sized snowflakes and danced wildly in the air, and a thick white snow blanket had been piled up on the ground and branches of the forest.

Xu Yue touched his face, wiped the snowflakes stuck to his eyelashes, looked at the scenery in front of him that seemed to have not changed, and helplessly pulled the two sides of the hood to the middle, trying to block the snow flakes and cold wind raging in the air.

He was dressed in the usual clothes of a traveler. The hood was attached to the cloak behind it, a sleeveless leather coat made of the fur of the beast, a thick cotton garment underneath, and a package on its back.

The thick snow beneath his feet made him feel as if he was wading through a mud puddle with every step. For an otaku like him, who has never walked a long road, catching up with the road for three hours in a row on such a bad snowy night has already made his already small body almost bottoming out.

"Damn the weather, it's still sunny in the afternoon, and it's almost half a meter thick for a while. I hope that the previous prediction was not wrong, otherwise this time it will be in vain. ”。

Before he could finish speaking, a terrible howl suddenly came from behind, making his brow furrow.

"Damn brute, it's been more than a month, and it's still pestering. I'm chasing here!"

Looking around, Xu Yue found an open place to stand in the snowstorm and wait. After a while, you can faintly hear the sound of some dense snow being squeezed from the violent snowstorm approaching from a distance, and at the same time, you can hear the violent gasps of some beasts.

In the blink of an eye, he saw more than a dozen huge black shadows running out of the forest, surrounding him. It looks like a normal wolf, but it's twice as big as a normal wolf. It's just that there is an extra palm-sized scale armor on his forehead, and his blood-red eyes reveal a kind of bitter hatred and cruelty to his prey.

Xu Yue looked at the beasts surrounding him, and did not show any panic. After his eyes swept over the surrounding wolves, he stopped paying attention and looked around.

In just a few breaths, another giant wolf of even greater size came out of the forest, the color of the fur of this giant wolf the size of a buffalo was close to silver, and even in a blizzard, it reflected a faint silver smoothness.

The surrounding wolves all retreated slightly when they saw the giant wolf approaching, and moved out of the way. It was clear that this one was the leader of these giant wolves.

The corners of Xu Yue's mouth twitched when he saw this wolf, and he sighed helplessly and said, "This is the twenty-third time." Just kill one of your cubs, do you have to wipe out the whole pack?"

The hatred in the eyes of the head wolf in the distance became even stronger, and I saw it howl like an ordinary wolf, and the beasts around it immediately pounced with bloodshot red light as if they had heard the order.

The attack on the surrounding beasts had long been expected, Xu Yue stretched out his right hand, and instantly there were many strange wooden staff about one meter and a half high in his hand out of thin air.

He lightly slammed the wooden staff on the ground, and the next moment he saw an oval light shield more than two meters high completely enveloping him. The surrounding blizzard was repelled in an instant, and the snowflakes hit the mask and bounced off.

A few of the giant wolves that rushed over couldn't hold their feet and slammed into the light mask. Suddenly, as if they had hit a hard wall, their entire bodies pressed against the mask.

Seeing this, the head wolf immediately let out a long howl, and suddenly his body flashed with brilliance, and his four paws were shrouded in a layer of cyan light.

I saw it kick on the ground with four paws, and its body turned into a blue light that swept past the light mask, and a wolf paw glowing with blue light slashed across the light mask with the impact force. Suddenly, the light shield shook a few times in this attack, and the light dimmed a little.

Seeing this situation, Xu Yue's eyes tightened slightly, and he stretched out his left hand to concentrate and snorted.

"Al!"

Suddenly, a fireball shot out of his hand and flew in the direction of the head wolf.

The head wolf's body dodged to the side with lightning speed before the fireball arrived, but the three or four giant wolves around him who couldn't dodge the orange color were enveloped by the explosion.

A few terrible howls rang out with the explosion, and when they calmed down, they saw two mutilated giant wolf corpses lying on the ground.

The battle between the two sides was very fast, and the above battle was already in four or five seconds. It is clear that both sides know enough about their opponents.

The head wolf's degree was too fast, Xu Yue was no longer in a hurry to attack it, and turned his target to the ordinary giant wolves around.

This made the head wolf furious, and the frequency of his attacks suddenly doubled. But although the light mask on the other party's body was crumbling by its sharp grasp, it was not broken.

After the two fireballs killed three or four more ordinary giant wolves around them, the remaining giant wolves became agitated.

The head wolf couldn't help but show a trace of sadness in his eyes as he looked at the loss of his race, obviously he knew that it was only a matter of time before his own race was ruined, but the bitter hatred and anger drove its instinct not to give up.

Seeing the head wolf turn his head and look full of resentment in his eyes, Xu Yue frowned, only to see him raise his hand and let out a low cry in his mouth again.

"Ace!"

This time, a cyan light blade more than a meter long and a half-moon instantly appeared from above his left hand, and the next moment this light blade shot out like lightning, so fast that people could only see a touch of smoothness flashing in the air.

This time, the head wolf was not able to dodge safely, although he tried his best to avoid the vital point, but his hind legs were still swept out by the light blade A half-foot-long opening, and Yin Hong's blood was immediately left.

If you look closely at its body, there are many large and small scars, and it is obviously not the first time that it has been injured like this.

As if knowing that it was impossible to kill its prey, the head wolf let out a long howl full of grief and indignation. Immediately, the remaining giant wolves quickly turned and fled.

The head wolf turned his head and glanced at it with hatred, and his body turned into a blue light and fled into the woods.

After seeing that the giant wolves were all retreating, Xu Yue was on guard for a while before letting out a sigh of relief.

"It's really unlucky, even if you are in a hurry in this weather, you still meet this group of guys. Today, the ring's three fireball spells have been exhausted again, and the wind blade is only left once, so I hope that the next journey will not encounter any more trouble. ”

He walked in the wind and snow for more than an hour or so, until he was out of breath and his steps seemed to be filled with lead. Finally, there was a sparkling light in front of me, and the outline of a town was blurred in the wind and snow.

Seeing the lights in the distance, Xu Yuedun waved his arm excitedly and said to himself: "I knew that there must be a place where humans live when I go this way." ”

The size of the town does not seem to be small, from the outside, there are about 100 households. After entering the town from the main road, you will reach the main street of the town, and there are a number of shops lining the streets.

However, by this time, the shops had already closed, and the wooden signs of the shops were clapping against the snowstorm.

Xu Yue walked down the street, where the lights of the two-story buildings were still lit, and the carved wooden signs of wine glasses and beds made it easy to see that this was a tavern that provided accommodation. As for the few strange words on the signboard that obviously had the name of the tavern written on them, Xu Yue didn't recognize any of them.

Standing outside the gate for a moment, he gritted his teeth and pushed open the door of the tavern, and suddenly the faint sound in the tavern was amplified many times, and a kind of music with a strong exotic flavor but very good was mixed with the human voices.

At first glance, there were seventeen or eighteen tables in the tavern, and a long wooden bar in front of the wine cabinet looked a little old but very clean.

There is a small platform in the center, and several people are holding what looks like gourd-like instruments and playing. Most of the dozen or so tables in the tavern were already full, except for one table in the corner.

After taking in his surroundings, he hesitated for a moment and walked directly to the empty table and sat down.

The bar's hostess was a girl in her twenties, with chestnut hair and fair skin, and the S-shaped figure set off under the maid's outfit made the old drunkards in the hotel couldn't help but reach out and want to secretly rub some oil on the high buttocks.

However, it was clear that the hostess was very experienced with these guys, and with a slight swing of her body avoided a few outstretched claws. While laughing and cursing with a few old drunkards, he brought the wine and food from the tray to the guests' tables.

After coming to Xu Yue's table, the hostess walked to the table with a smile and asked, "Guests from afar, do you want anything, we have the best Suser wine here, which can make you relieve the fatigue and cold of the journey." ”

Xu Yue had a nervous look in his eyes when the waitress walked over, but he quickly calmed down, and this change in expression was not visible because his entire face was hidden in a wide hood.

"Have a glass of Suser wine, and give me a copy of what you have to eat here, I'm starving to death after an afternoon of driving in a ghost weather like today. He said as he lifted the hood from his head.

"Oh, Chatterner?" the waitress said in surprise after seeing Xu Yue's appearance full of oriental characteristics. You must know that the people around you are typical Westerners.

However, the hostess quickly showed her rudeness, and said apologetically: "Ah! sorry for the guests, but we are a little surprised that we rarely see any Chathner here!"

When he took off the hood, there was a hidden deep nervousness in Xu Yue's eyes, and when the waitress exclaimed in a low voice, his hands under the table clenched violently, but the expression on his face was more natural.

Fortunately, after hearing the words of the hostess, he seemed to have a big stone in his heart. The whole person relaxed, secretly wiped the cold sweat on his palms under the table, and smiled pretending to be indifferent.

"Hehe, it's nothing, it's not the first time I've encountered this as a traveler, and the appearance of the Chattner people is indeed a little different from the people here. ”

The hostess was slightly relieved to see that the other party did not blame her for her faux pas. When the young man on the other side smiled, the soft face peculiar to the Oriental made her feel a different kind of charm. Her face flushed slightly, and after hurriedly apologizing, she turned around and went back to the kitchen to bring food and wine.

Xu Yue didn't speak next, eating food in the corner, while secretly listening to the words of the people around him, collecting information from them.

"Hey, Old John, I heard that you entered the Nightsong Forest with a team of mercenaries yesterday, how was the harvest?"

"Don't mention it! what can be gained this ghost season, the monsters are all staying in the nest. I can't find any alchemy herbs if I want to collect them. Those rookie mercenaries who had to deal with horned rabbits had to be in a hurry for half a day, but they didn't gain anything for two days. Impatient, they all ran back to the city. ”

"Hehe, normal! Those rookies looked like they came to the city, and the rich young master and young lady had a lot of adventure stories to find excitement. It's snowing so hard today, I'm afraid those rookies are still crying in the snow halfway through, hahahaha......"

The man in the tavern burst out laughing when he heard this.

Time passed quickly, and the townspeople clearly didn't want to stay outside for too long, and after about an hour, the tavern people left 66 in succession.

Seeing that the people were almost gone, Xu Yue came to the front of the bar.

A bearded man in his forties, wiping his glass from behind the bar, was sure that the man with a big voice was the owner of the bar.

"Is there a room here?"

"Oh, of course, don't look at me, the Nightsong Tavern is not big, but it can provide the most comfortable rooms for its guests!" the tavern owner smiled as he put down the glass he was wiping.

He waved his hand and shouted to the waitress who was cleaning up the table in a voice like a megaphone, "Mary! By the way, change him into a thick bed, we can't let the guests get cold here in such a hellish weather!"

"Okay, Uncle Kate!" the waitress came over with the plate she had packed, and with a smile led the traveler down the stairs to the second-floor room.

The rooms in the tavern don't look big, there are only seven or eight rooms, each of which is only a dozen square meters. There was only a bed, a table, and two chairs in the room, and an oil lamp on the table looked simple. However, both the bedding and the furniture are very clean and give people a warm feeling.

"I'll bring hot water for washing up in a moment, and there's a basin under the bed for you to wash up. This room is forty copper coins a night, and there is a room next to it that is fifty copper coins a night, and the space is a little larger. Mary said enthusiastically as she spread out the futon.

Xu Yue put his backpack on the table and said with satisfaction: "No need, this one is very good, thank you! By the way, please ask, if I want to live in this town for a long time, I don't know if I can rent a house." ”

After laying out the quilt, Mary said with a smile: "Of course! Many people in the town will rent their extra rooms to the mercenaries who come here, and it just so happens that Uncle Kate, the owner of this shop, will help introduce you, you can ask him." ”

"That's great. By the way, you said that many people rent their houses to mercenaries, are there a lot of mercenaries here?"

"Hehe, it's very rare now, because you didn't come at the right time. In winter, the magic plants in the Night Song Forest have withered, and most of the magical beasts have hibernated, so there are basically no mercenaries here to do tasks. In another three months, the snow will melt and it will be very lively. ”

After chatting with the beautiful and warm hostess for a while, wait for her to leave. Xu Yue quietly walked to the door of the room and locked the door from the inside. Then he looked around and made sure that no one could see the room from the next door, and collapsed on the bed.

After resting for a while, he felt that his tired spirit had eased a little, sat up and took out a box of cigarettes from his coat pocket with a slightly trembling hand, took out one and lit it, and his face showed a contemplative look.

Xu Yue is not from this world, in fact, he is a small clerk of an ordinary heating company on the earth.

He was born in Inner Mongolia, but he is not Mongolian. Since his grandfather's generation, he came to Inner Mongolia to settle down in order to earn a living, and he was born there as a native of Inner Mongolia.

At home, he is an only child, his father works in a power plant, and his mother is a teacher.

After graduating from university, he worked alone in society for two years without any results, and finally had to work in his current position under the arrangement of his family. However, because I can't lead with you, there is basically no possibility of appreciation, and I live a life of eating and waiting for death day after day.

I thought that my life was like this, but life is a drama of unexpected and unexpected situations combined one after another, and you never know what the story will produce in the next moment.

For Xu Yue, a big accident a month ago completely changed his life from an urban life drama to an otherworldly fantasy drama.
