"It's okay, it's okay... I know that no matter who sees me like this, they will be surprised. You are much better than others. At least you don't look down on me or show fear."

Glenn didn't know how to answer and remained silent.

Instead, Black Crow’s wife chuckled and said, “You sent the cake too early. My birthday is not until the day after tomorrow.”

"Uh..." Glenn was stunned.

The other party continued to explain, "Originally my husband wanted to invite you to my birthday the day after tomorrow, but it seems that you were not there at that time, and you met an elf girl instead."

"I was still with Dude at that time, but it doesn't matter. On your birthday, I will personally make a better cake for you."

Glenn said confidently.

"You can also bake cakes? That's great..." Black Crow's wife said with a smile.

The topic seemed to have become awkward at this point, or rather, Glenn felt a little embarrassed.

Because he could feel that the person lying on the bed was looking at him seriously, and this look did not contain a trace of malice.

Just when Glenn wanted to quietly ask Black Crow what was going on, the woman on the bed spoke again:

"Can you come over here a little bit?"

Glenn didn't understand why, but he took a few steps forward.

An arm that looked like neither wood nor wood stretched out from the messy body and raised to the face in the darkness, as if to push away the hair in front of the forehead.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Glenn felt that the pair of eyes were brighter at this moment.

"I can see that you are special, and my husband and I are honored to know you."

Glenn was increasingly confused by the other party's words, but he still said politely:

"So do I, ma'am."

"Okay, I'm sleepy. Let my husband entertain you. I'm so sorry..."

The sound became fainter and fainter, and Glenn was sure that the other person was really asleep.

"Let's go." Black Crow walked out the door.

Glenn followed him out.

Back in the living room, the two sat opposite each other.

As soon as he sat down, Black Crow said, "My wife used to be very beautiful. She was the dream girl of all the men in her hometown."

"Why now..." Glenn knew it might be impolite to ask, but he could hear the other person's intention from his words.

"An evil force from underground attacked her. I killed that evil force, and I will always protect my beloved wife."

Still so concise... Glenn was used to the other person's way of speaking, and said sincerely: "I will send you my heartfelt wishes."

"So, what do you want to ask?"

"Ah?" Glenn took a while to react before he understood the other party's jumping words.

He knew that I came here with questions today. Fortunately, I was quick-witted... He considered his words and said:

"My question pretty much sums up to this - what do you know about this town?"

Black Crow nodded, as if he had expected it, "My wife and I have lived here for quite a long time, longer than most of the residents in the outskirts.

“When I first came here, the houses here were still in the oldest style, and there were many evil creatures wandering around. They didn’t dare to approach the depths of the town, and only fought for territory in the forest outside the town.

"I moved in at that time and witnessed them disappearing little by little. Apart from dying in fights among themselves, they were also slaughtered by the new residents who moved in. Up to now, the most recent creature from outside the town I have seen was a troll named Abu. It was good at hiding, which is why it has survived until now..."

At this point, Glenn interrupted, "I have killed it..."

"Oh, that should be gone." Black Crow continued, "The town is not completely disconnected from the outside world. Every four or five years, a group of people in strange clothes will come to repair and renovate the town's facilities. This is why this town has a long history, but its peripheral buildings keep up with the times."

I said, Miss Puppet said it has lived here for more than a hundred years, but it is still a new resident, so how long has this town existed? And the style of those houses is not old, and there is a big villa next to me...

Thinking about it, Glenn nodded and motioned for Black Crow to continue.

“After all these years, even though I went out frequently, I only had a partial understanding of this town.

“For example, all the old residents of this town are cursed. They are unable to leave their homes voluntarily or involuntarily, and can only stay here forever with the mayor.

"Also, the country's top leaders all know about this place and have tacitly approved its existence. There are also some special protections for this place in the law."

After listening to it, Glenn combined his own understanding and had a general understanding of this place.

No matter what the so-called old residents of the town are like, as long as it doesn't affect him, he doesn't need to care.

Black Crow then told him that as long as he didn't cause trouble deep inside the town, there would be basically no trouble.

Glenn had gained enough this time, so he said goodbye and left. Before leaving, Black Crow pointed to a three-story house not far from his home and said:

"There lives an old resident there. He is very talkative and has always wanted to invite me to visit him, but I have always refused."

Glenn looked at the house and was about to respond when the window of the house was suddenly pushed open. A girl of about sixteen or seventeen poked her head out. She waved her hand and looked very surprised:

"Hi! Are you a new resident? Welcome to the town of Bayek. My name is Sisili! Can you come to my home? I have a lot of fun things here! Can you?! Can you?!"

Glenn clicked his tongue and said, "Thank you for the invitation. Maybe next time. I'll definitely do it next time."

After saying that, he left quickly.

"Goodbye, new friend. We promised to see you next time!" Sisili waved goodbye.

When the person disappeared in the distant fog, it suddenly slapped its head and said, "Oops! I forgot to ask his name! Really, forget it, I'll ask next time."

Then its body floated back into the house and the windows were closed by an invisible wind.

……

"Leila, be careful on the road, and remember to say hello to him for me."

"Good mother."

While responding to her mother, Leila trotted over to Bonnie.

"What are you wearing?" Bonnie asked in confusion as she looked at her friend's outfit.

Leila didn't wear a skirt, but a women's waist-hugging top and a pair of brown trousers that made her legs look longer, making her look particularly tall.

"How is it? Does it look good?" Leila turned around and asked.

Bonnie nodded affirmatively, but still confused: "Why are you dressed like this?"

Leila smiled slyly. "This way, if I encounter danger again, I can run faster. Skirts are too inconvenient, aren't they?"

Bonnie opened her eyes wide, looking educated, and then said in distress: "I don't have such trousers, so if I encounter danger, will I be caught first?"

Leila held Bonnie's arm and gave a reassuring smile, "Don't worry, I'll take you with me."

The two looked at each other for a while, and suddenly laughed.
