At dinner time, a tavern in Fort Saint was packed. Eating and drinking, but everyone was listening intently to a troubadour story.

The troubadour looked to be in his sixties, with a little gray hair and beard that reflected a weather-carved face. For the average life expectancy of a hundred years, a troubadour is not too old. So at this moment, he is in good spirits, his voice is hearty, and his face shows a rich demeanor with the story.

"At the end of the Age of the Dead, there were three legendary characters that have to be said. Why do you have to talk about the three of them together, because they used to all study under the same teacher. Everyone has heard of these three legends......"

"Storm Goddess, God of Fire Shadows, One-Armed Sword King!"

One person suddenly screamed, causing everyone to laugh.

"Exactly. It seems that everyone knows it, from the old to the young. ”

Everyone laughed heartily again, as a way to affirm the troubadour's statement.

"I guess everyone has heard the story of these three legends many times. But you may not know that the first person to sing about them was my mentor Lin Luo Kaiqiao. At this point, the troubadour paused and closed his eyes: "Thank you, Master, for teaching me. ”

At this time, although it was already known in the poster of the tavern that the troubadour who spoke tonight was a student of the famous troubadour Lin Luo Kaiqiao, there were still many people who whispered praise.

"At the beginning, there was a thrilling event in the land of the dead in Cape Kefu, and that was the ...... of "The Bride of the Dead"

Everyone listened to the troubadour with relish, and all forgot about the food and wine in front of them for a while. Even when the door was opened, no one noticed.

The waiter was listening, too, but his professional habits made him walk towards the guests who came in, although they seemed to be half a beat slower.

"I'm sorry, sir, it's full. The waiter politely told the guests, still wondering if the full sign outside the door was missing?

"It's okay, I'll just listen. A hoarse voice came from behind the cover, a little unclear.

The waiter was stunned for a moment. This guest is actually quite eccentric, wrapped in cloth all over his body, and only his two eyes are exposed. Fortunately, the public security is better nowadays, otherwise I am really afraid that it will be a robbery. But even if you rob, you won't come to the tavern, the money is not much, and the customers in the tavern are not necessarily easy to mess with.

"But there are no more stools. "Even the bar is full, and there are more seats in the corners, so I can't add more people.

"It's okay, I'm standing. ”

Okay, stand. Having said that, can you still drive people out? Open the door to do business, how can you push customers out without the instructions of the boss.

"Is there anything else I can do to help you?" or what would you like to do?"

"I don't have any money, I'm sorry. ”

The waiter's head was secretly sweating, but there was no rule in the tavern that you could not enter without money, although you really shouldn't come in without money. Returning to the report supervisor, the supervisor signaled to forget as long as it didn't interfere with other guests. Listen, there are still such people, but it should be mostly children, after all, adults still have to have face.

Immersed in the ups and downs of the singing, at the end of the hearing of the rescue of the undead bride, everyone applauded and thanked the troubadour. Today, I will talk about "The Bride of the Dead", and even this took more than an hour. The troubadour has to go to two more scenes, but both of them are "The Bride of the Dead". If it's done in one day, then the effect is not so good.

Whetting one's appetite is the troubadour's means.

Segmentation is a trick of merchants. If you talk too much at once, the guests will neither add to the consumption nor leave, and the tavern will not be profitable.

"Poet, I heard that there is also a legend in this city, and it seems that his teacher is also the teacher of those three legends, right?"

"According to what my teacher told me, it should be. ”

"Then why don't you put him with those three legends, is it just because he's a necromancer?"

"Oh, I'm afraid you're mistaken. You know, necromancers are legal now. ”

The troubadour's words drew good-natured laughter.

"I just didn't put it together, mainly because the three legends used to be together during their studies. And the undead heroes only started to follow after the three legends left their teachers. There was a chronological sequence, they were not together, and they were not very familiar with each other. Also, to be honest, because my mentor had been with the Storm Goddess and the Hokage God, I was familiar with the three of them, and many of the stories were verifiable. Neither I nor my mentor had direct contact with the undead hero, so I didn't list him together. In fact, undead heroes began to become famous at the beginning of the age of the undead. However, the Goddess of the Storm, the God of the Hokage, and the One-Armed Sword King only began to become famous at the end of the Age of the Undead. Before that, that is, the story of the goddess of storm and the god of fire and shadow among the brides of the dead, but they were not strong at that time. ”

"But, isn't little Laurie, who is said to be the bride of the dead, also a student of the bald teacher?"

"Well, yes. The troubadour's expression began to change.

"Then why did the Tempest Goddess hunt down little Lauri? Legend has it that the evil witch that the Tempest Goddess chased and killed was little Lauri, isn't it?"

"This, if you guys want to know, I'll talk about it later when I have time. I'm sorry, I'm going to catch up with the next one, and I can't keep the audience over there waiting. You are the first listeners of today, and you are the first to feast your ears before them. ”

The troubadour's sorrow was only fleeting, and then he laughed and said goodbye to the crowd. As he went out, his eyes paused for a moment on a special guest by the door. Because this guest was dressed strangely, his whole body was wrapped in the cloth, and only his eyes were exposed. Maybe this man has a story that can be sung?

But the troubadour's thoughts were only a turn, and there was not much movement. After a friendly nod, the troubadour opened the door and went out.

The door didn't close right away, and a hand wrapped around it blocked it.

The cloth man followed, and stopped the troubadour.

"Harriet?"

Hearing someone calling himself from behind, apparently identifying himself, the troubadour stopped and turned around.

Next to the door of the tavern is a big propaganda with his name written on it, and the troubadour standing next to it really complements each other.

"You called me, what's the matter? I'm still in a hurry, I'm afraid I won't have time. Harriet was in a hurry when he went out, not noticing that the strange man was following him.

The weirdo wrapped in cloth, well, it's called the cloth man. If you really want to sing it, it's also a good name.

"Are you really a student of Lin Luo Kaiqiao?" Bu Ren said hoarsely.

"Yes, I promise. ”

"What about Lin Luo Kaiqiao? Is he here too?"

"The Ancestor has been away from us for years. Harriet didn't accept this person directly saying the name of the teacher, and thought it was disrespectful to the teacher.

"So you've been here for a long time, and you're going to finish those legends all the time?"

"Yes. Because I have to rush to the scene, I will talk a little bit every day. "Of course, I can't say it, but I talk about it a little bit every day because I have to hang my appetite.

"Thank you. ”

The cloth man raised his hand and saluted and turned to leave, but suddenly turned back and asked, "Here, is this time you talk every day?"

Harriet, who was inexplicable, nodded in the affirmative when he heard this, and then saw the cloth man turn around and leave. Stunned for a moment, Harriet shook his head and wanted to leave, but heard the hoarse voice again.

"Are you going to talk about the same thing here as you are talking about it here?"

"Yes. ”

"I talk about it many times a day, but I talk about the same thing. If you want to hear more, you have to wait until the next day?"

"Yes. Harriet was a little embarrassed. Although the speaker is finished at one time, the speaker is happy and the listener is happy, but this is going to break the rules. Besides, hanging your appetite is also a necessary skill for storytelling. Just like eating, there is not much deliciousness, and not enough food can stimulate the desire to eat next time.

"I see, I see. Thank you!" the cloth man first seemed to say to himself, and finally thanked Harriet.

Seeing the man disappear from the corner, Harriet was sure the man would not look back. What a weirdo, Harriet hastened to leave.

Through the glass, the people in the tavern saw that Harriet had left before resuming his eating and drinking. Including the tavern staff, everyone paid extra attention to the situation outside.

Harriet, a celebrity, it is natural to note that he is.

Cloth man, weirdo, note that he is for sure.

Two people talk together, gossip about them is the most normal. Now there are many people in the tavern who are starting to speculate about what the two of them are talking about just now.

If it weren't for glass, maybe everyone wouldn't know that the weirdos were going to talk to Harriet.

This is thanks not only to the glass, but also to the dwarves who made them. The most important thing to thank should be the leader who created the Grand Alliance, if not for him to let go of all restrictions. How can dwarves go out of their underground caves to live with everyone on the surface? If dwarves do not integrate into human society, how can they bring so many new technologies with them? If there are no such technologies and no open restrictions, how can ordinary people use glass universally?

The lively tavern at this time shows a precursor to the recovery after the end of the Age of the Dead.

In the past 10 years, the great alliance has shown signs of vitality in all parts of the country. The dark shadow of the undead began to recede from people's hearts, as evidenced by the smiles that often bloomed on their faces.

When the temple was overwhelmed and precarious, the Divine Descent Technique was finally successfully performed. After several vicious battles, the gods descended to defeat Skeletron and wipe out the army of the undead who ruled all the countries of the region.

People have finally ushered in a new light under the reign of darkness for nearly a hundred years.

However, the number of human beings has declined dramatically, many formerly prosperous places have become sparsely populated, and many villages have disappeared into the long river of history.

At this time, the only remaining large family, the Blue Vic, relied on its strength to unify all the countries and declared the new country a Grand Alliance. The new chronological method begins with the Alliance, with the first year of the founding of the Grand Alliance. At the same time, the old continental calendar can be used together.

The continental calendar is a calendar that has been used since ancient times, but each country has the habit of using its own new calendar when it is founded.

Just when people thought that they had just come out of the darkness and fallen into slavery again, the head of the alliance, as the supreme leader of the Grand Alliance, announced many new policies that people could not believe.
