Chapter 144: The Mystery of Guidance
At this time, the old crow saw Chu Yang's thoughtful look, but he was a little apprehensive in his heart.
Although the people in front of it were not very young, their strength made it dare not look at them, so it could only look at the three humans in front of it with a smile on its face.
"Is there a place to rest here?" Chu Yang finally decided not to do anything to the old crow first, but decided to make contact with the townspeople here.
"Yes, Sakura" Seeing that Chu Yang had no intention of killing it, the old crow became very active.
"Here, please, I'll take you there. ”
The old crow hurriedly walked in front of Sanrao, stretched out his hand to guide the route, and his expression and posture were very humble and respectful, like a dog's legs.
"Well, let's go. Chu Yang faced the two women and said.
In Raven Town, there is a Raven Tavern, which is the only place in the entire town where the lights are still on.
Only now the tavern was empty, except for one young old bartender, who was napping at the bar alone.
"Squeak. ”
Suddenly, he heard the door squeak, and he woke up and hurriedly looked at the door.
But I saw the old crow walking in with a few young boys and girls.
When he saw this scene, he showed a look of surprise, his mouth opened wide, and he rubbed his eyes violently, thinking that his eyes were hallucinating.
But when he opened his eyes again, they were already in front of the old bartender, and the old bartender was startled.
"Old bartender, what's going on tonight?, how do you look like a ghost?" said the old crow with some displeasure.
"Dark, Lord Raven, you, are you here?" the old bartender looked at the old crow, and then at the three behind him, a little surprised.
He remembered that the old crow had never liked humans, and even if he was close to the people of their Raven Town, he would never take the initiative to contact them.
And now the sun is coming out of the west?
"Hmm. The old crow nodded, reached out and patted the bar, and said, "I brought you a few distinguished guests." ”
"Who are these three?"
"Oh, these three adults, you have to serve them, don't offend, give them the best room, prepare the best food, understand?"
"Yes, yes, understood, please rest assured. Seeing that business came to the door, the old bartender frowned, nodded again and again, and paged a few times in the direction of the kitchen.
"How many adults, don't you know what to call them?" said the old bartender, with a flattering face.
"You can call me Chu Gongzi, she is Ah Li, and this is Miss Mengyao. ”
"Okay, okay. The old bartender replied, and led them up to the second floor.
The old crow did not follow, but waited downstairs. After a while, they came down.
At this time, there were a lot of wine and food on a dining table downstairs, and the old crow was standing at the table, waiting for them.
"Well, we'll stay here tonight. Now let's go down and get something to eat. ”
"Good. ”
They came to the table, and looked at the rich dishes on the table, and the tantalizing aroma of meat, which couldn't help but make people hungry.
The next morning, Chu Yang got up and came to the window, through the window, he happened to see a street in the town, this crow tavern happened to be on the street with the most traffic, so he could see that there were some young townspeople, carrying various things, had already walked out of the house.
With their wives and children or their parents seeing them off, they went out to earn a living.
After a night, Chu Yang didn't find anything going on in the town, and finally only determined that this was just a poor country.
When he went downstairs, he ran into the old bartender. At this time, he was wiping the bar, and the entire bar looked clean, and when the old bartender saw Chu Yang, he immediately showed a flattering look.
When the old crow left last night, he quietly told him that this man was not even an opponent of him, and it was easy to destroy it, so he wanted to entertain him himself.
As for the related costs, the old crow contracted it very well.
Chu Yang came to the old bartender's side and asked him about some things about the old crow, as well as some things about the town.
Last night, he didn't ask much.
However, he used his morning time to get to know Raven Town.
"Lord Dark Raven is still good, even if he used to deal with those experienced people, he was mainly defeated, and he didn't kill innocents indiscriminately. Of course, it has no mercy on those who want to kill it. Well, you should know the situation at the bell tower. ”
"Hmm. ”
"As for the white-robed girl of yours holding a sapling in her hand, I don't have any impression of Sakura," the old bartender shook his head and said helplessly.
After all, it was a hundred years ago, how could he have an impression, as for the relevant rumors, it is estimated that few people in the town know about it.
But at this moment, he thought of something and said, "Young Master Chu, maybe you can go to the mayor's house to have a look." ”
"Huh?"
"The mayor's house has collected the historical materials of our town, and if the other party is an important person, there may be a record. ”
"Okay, thanks. ”
In the morning, after they had eaten, Chu Yang took the two girls to visit the mayor of Dark Crow Town.
The mayor was already a man of nearly fifty years, but he was in strong health, with a stubble on his face, a suit of leather armor on his body, and a pair of leather boots on his feet, and the whole person looked as burly and strong as a mountain.
"Hello, Young Master Chu, my name is Roosevelt, is there anything I can do to help you?"
"Oh, you know me?"
"Of course, Lord Raven reminded me of this. Roosevelt reached out very kindly, wanting to shake Chu Yang's hand.
Chu Yang nodded lightly and shook his hand, and then the mayor invited them into the house.
At this time, Chu Yang knew that the old crow had told everyone the news that he was here, which made Chu Yang a little puzzled and puzzled, of course, he was not afraid of what conspiracy they would throw around.
"This town doesn't seem to be as simple as it seems, and it stands to reason that I came to visit the mayor on a temporary basis, but I didn't expect the mayor to get the news from the old crow very early. Chu Yang said secretly in his heart.
Subsequently, several people were in the hall of the mayor's house, and after a while, Chu Yang got down to business.
After Roosevelt listened to Chu Yang's words, he frowned, but he didn't have any impression of himself
"Well, since you're a guest of the Raven, then come with me, and I'll take you to the archives, where you might be able to find some information. ”
"Hmm. ”
Roosevelt got up and led them out of the hall and into the backyard, where there was a separate building, the Archives.
The walls of this archive room are made of stone, two or two floors, and it is also very spacious, like a round fortress, very strong, and fireproof, and the door is locked, and the mayor himself can open it.
The mayor took out a secret key, unlocked the door, and led them into the love room Zheng
As soon as they entered, they saw rows of huge bookshelves, each coded to record important information such as year, category, region, etc., so that those who looked at the information could easily find it.
"Since it's information from 100 years ago, we'll have to go to the second floor. Roosevelt put the key in his pocket and led the three of them up the steps by the wall to the second floor.
The second floor also has a large collection of books, a row of desks, and office desks.
Sunlight shone through the window and into the desk, and Roosevelt walked over and pulled the curtain halfway so that there would not be too much sunlight on the desk.
Then he walked over to his desk, pulled out his chair, sat down, and with one hand out, took out a brief catalogue from the drawer of his desk, on which he had registered some important information, and by looking at it, he quickly found a key clue.
"I found it, the white-robed saintess, I don't know if it's this one. ”
Roosevelt then left his desk and went to the numbered bookshelf of the White-robed Saintess, and on the fifth floor, took out a book called "Strange People and Strange Stories of Raven Town".
Then he took it to his desk, opened a large number of pages, and finally stopped at one page, and reached out his hand, pointed to one of the words, and read it as he read: "The white-robed saintess, holding an artifact like a sapling, drove out the plague for the townspeople of Raven Town, and left." ”
"It's gone. Roosevelt looked up at Chu Yangdao.
"That's all there is to it?" Chu Yang was slightly stunned.
"Yes. ”
There was only a short text on it, and Chu Yang could see it at a glance. This made him feel strange, and said, "It stands to reason that she has made such a great contribution to your town, don't you keep and thank you?"
"I don't know the specifics. However, there will be such a brief record, generally the person who comes and goes quickly during the curtain is also the kind of person who does good deeds without leaving a name. ”
"And how do you know it's hers?"
"I don't know about that. Roosevelt said with a wry smile, the historical records recorded may be more serious, but they are classified as strange people and strange things, and sometimes there is a sense of mystery, making it difficult for people to figure out the specific truth.
Chu Yang frowned and said, "Okay, thank you." ”
"You're welcome, Master Chu, do you have any other questions?"
"It's gone. ”
Then, they said goodbye to Roosevelt and went to the Raven Tavern, and on the way, Meng Yao asked a little strangely, "Young Master Chu, are you investigating here?"
"Well, exactly, I'm investigating the Sacred Tree. ”
"Huh?"
Meng Yao was a little puzzled, what was there to investigate in the Divine Tree? However, she didn't ask much, she only knew that Chu Yang must have meant what he meant by doing this.
"By the way, Meng Yao, do you have any guidance from the light of the Divine Tree now?"
"Yes, but the location of the guide is still here. ”
"That is, if we don't solve the problem here, I'm afraid it won't lead to the next location?"
"I guess so. Meng Yao said.
