Did the tavern owner cook Chinese food today?

The torrential rain poured down, and the rain needles hit his shoulders heavily.A few pairs of leather boots stepped into the mud and walked through the forest.

A pour of rainwater poured down one person's head along the branches and leaves, which made him tremble all over and couldn't help sneezing.

"It's a fucking crime." He cursed while eating the rain, wiping his nose, "losing the horse is one of the stupidest decisions I've ever made in my life."

In the queue, a one-eyed man glanced back at him. "Let me guess, the other stupidest decision must be to go to the ground first; what's more, it is to escape from your mother's stomach."

The rain was noisy, and they couldn't help roaring and talking.The one-eyed man deliberately turned up the volume to make the rest of the team laugh.

"The last one is that I killed you halfway without starting first."

The next moment, the back of the one-eyed man touched the dagger.The sky was overcast with clouds and the sun was blocked by trees.Their vision was as dim as walking at night, even though it was afternoon.

The cold light of the silverware was particularly obvious, and all the people present were equipped with weapons at their waists.They don't need to see blood, they can also keenly "smell" the blood and evil spirit contained in the sharp blade.

The footsteps stopped one after another, and several eyes turned here.

The one-eyed man slowly raised his arms, opening them slightly to the sides.

"Be safe and don't be impatient, Scarface." The one-eyed man comforted him.

"Look at the road you're referring to? Just walking through this forest, we ran into magic plants four times, monsters twice, and lost a horse!" said the man named Scarface, gritted his teeth.

Just after he finished speaking, he sneezed again, and the ferocious aura was blown away.

"Damn it, why is the weather on the ground so tough."

"Just get out of the woods." The one-eyed man still maintained his posture, he had to appease the group of monsters. "This is indeed the fastest place to enter Jota."

The leader was a burly man, who seemed to have only noticed the movement here at this time. "Okay, Scarface."

"Since we chose to cut corners, we can't blame this human being."

Scarface spat hard on the ground, and immediately sheathed the knife.

The atmosphere returned to the depressing environment. After the episode, several people went on the road again.

Passing through the gaps covered by the trees, there is faintly visible light ahead, faint, but it brings good news to the exhausted people who have been trekking for days.

"I'm going out soon." Scarface couldn't help blurting out.

This cry of joy, like a thunderbolt, suddenly awakened a plant.

On Takagi above everyone's heads, a huge rose-colored flower suddenly bloomed.Like animals being chased by wolves day and night, they jumped up suddenly, drew their swords, and put on a defensive posture like a conditioned reflex.

"What is this?" Someone asked in a low voice, but no one responded. Fortunately, the giant flower did not move for the time being.

"Can you take care of it, Stinger?" Scarface called out in a low voice.

On the left front, under the back of a cloak, there are thorny, scary-looking hands hanging in the air, as if hesitating.

No one in the team knew the magic plant in front of him. The giant flower blocked the way, but it was not the only way.

Finally, the stabbing hand shook his head: "Let's take a detour, take advantage of the fact that the magic plant has no intention of attacking. I don't know if it will repel wood elements."

The burly man in the lead nodded, and in the rain, raised his sword to signal to turn around.They slowed down and walked cautiously.

The giant flower was a few feet away from them, and just as they were about to get rid of the magic plant, one person's foot was caught.

He subconsciously attached a little dark element to the tip of the sword, and cut off the stumbling vines.

The giant flower was frightened for a moment, the petals fluttered like butterfly wings, and the dim yellow flower core looked like a mouth about to vomit.After shaking it back and forth several times, a puff of gray smoke spewed out!

The gray smoke was dispersed by the rain curtain, mixed into the rainwater, and spread along the mud to the bottom of everyone's feet.

A few people were still in place, not far away, a boy's voice came: "Go!"

Without any hesitation, the moment the rainwater flowed onto the shoes, everyone ran wildly.

Just now, the water mixed with gray smoke dripped away the roots of some plants, and those plants were immediately deprived of their souls and became sluggish.

After running a few steps away, everyone realized that there seemed to be no one so young among them.

Then several of them were shocked, because they felt the familiar magic element.

Scarface was one of them, he couldn't help turning his head, and then his eyes widened suddenly.

——A boy whose stature was not half as thick as his was wielding a long sword shrouded in black mist.

At this time, the light had improved and the field of vision had become wider. They stared blankly at this scene: the young man was able to use dark magic freely, and the strong elemental aura made them feel a little stuffy in their chests and couldn't breathe.

Assassin woke up like a dream, he and the leader exchanged surprised glances, then nodded.

Just as he was about to help, he saw the juvenile's black mist completely engulfing the giant flower.Then he jumped on the horse and chopped off the stamen with a sword!

The stamens fell like snow and were soaked in the rain.

The rain curtain has been reduced a lot, and the falling water droplets slap the leaves.They watched the young man turn his horse's head as if nothing had happened, and prepared to leave just like that.

"Wait!" Scarface was the first to recover.After the magic plant died, the magic and power contained in it would disappear with it, so he stepped forward and called the boy to stop.

Everyone also slowly approached.

When they got closer, they realized how amazing the young man looked under the cloak.

——He frowned slightly, his dark red eyes were slightly annoyed and displeased, and he pursed his lips as if he had sucked berry juice.

Pale golden sideburns curled up and stuck to her cheeks.Raindrops will fall from the tip of the nose, and the skin will be clammy and smooth.

Scarface immediately wanted to scold something, but because the boy was too good-looking, he couldn't make a sound.

In the dark cave, there is a pile of crooked melons and jujubes, and even the scarred faces think they are handsome.Beauty can be said to be hard to see in a thousand years, unless there is an undead incarnation.

The person in front of me... Scarface swears, it's his barren head, a beauty that can't be pieced together by imagination alone, and I probably won't be able to meet it in my life.

After the initial amazement, the burly man in the lead stared at the boy's face, and after a while, doubts and deep thoughts appeared on his face.

Scarface came to his senses later, he didn't know how to speak, he said slowly: "Little brother, thank you! Cough... what was that just now?"

"...The soul-absorbing flower." The young man said lightly.

Scarface was overjoyed at the sight of being able to talk, and hurriedly asked: "To be honest, we are completely unfamiliar with the soul-absorbing flower. What element does it repel? It will be convenient for us to pay attention to it in the future."

"Dark element." The young man cherished words like gold, but one could feel that he was indeed answering seriously.

Everyone's hearts were in harmony, their eyes were piercing, and they gathered on one person in the team.The man scratched his head and said embarrassingly: "You know, I'm used to it, and I can't take it back for a while."

"By the way, little brother, you guys don't have anything good to reward you now..."

"No problem, no reward." Then the young man took the initiative to speak.

"Sorry, I still have something urgent to do, so let's take a step first." After finishing speaking, he clamped his horse's belly and drove the horse away.

"Hey, your name—" The shout disappeared into the rain, and the other party walked very fast, leaving no room to hold back.

"Hey!" Scarface rubbed his face and walked back to the captain, "He is a good seedling, with extraordinary talent and good swordsmanship. He can run faster than a rabbit, so where should he find someone now?"

The one-eyed man interjected at this moment; "His cloak is a kind of animal tanned leather unique to Lost Island."

The captain frowned slightly, put the sword back into the scabbard: "Lead the way, we have to hurry up."

……

Until sunset, they finally entered the urban area, and they stepped on the hard and smooth ground strangely.

The reward was delivered, and the one-eyed man's commission was completed.Before leaving, the captain held his shoulders.

"Oh, I almost forgot." The one-eyed man had no expression on his face, and secretly regretted running a step too late.

"The hotel is in the southeast, on Leather Street. There is one near Dormon Port." After a pause, he swallowed strangely. Everything you need."

"What is a food street?" Scarface squatted on the side of the street, dazzled by the half-blood orcs.

"I don't know, but we don't have a choice for the time being." Stinger felt his stomach start to tighten, and he felt a bit of abdominal pain from hunger.

After choosing a hotel for the time being, they rested for a while. Everyone was so hungry that they couldn't walk, and they were ready to go for food.

Looking at the blood-red sky in the sky, Scarface folded his hands behind his head and leisurely stood beside the captain.

"It reminds me of the glen sky," Scarface sighed.

"It's only one year until Blood Moon Day." The captain seemed to say to the scarred face, and seemed to comfort himself.

"But we're still recruiting too few people."

"Yeah, I don't know when it will really fight." Speaking of this, Scarface slapped his thigh heavily, and there was a crisp "snap", with real force.

"That kid is really a good seed! Appearance is secondary, the key is that he has magic skills, and it is more than enough to be a magic teacher directly!"

Scarface's tone was full of regret, stabbing looked funny, but saw the captain's expression was serious.

"Is there something wrong with the kid?" the stabber asked.

"... How should I put it, it feels like deja vu."

"In a dream, haha! I didn't expect you to do this kind of thing... oh!" After being kicked hard, Scarface calmed down.

"The breath of the undead does exist." The assassin lowered his eyes and thought.

"Yeah." After pondering for a moment, the captain continued, "The only thing I can be sure of is that the familiar source of that face is in the dark cave and the camp of light."

Assassin's eyes widened, he knew that the captain who had been with him for many years would not joke about such things.

"Fuck, is my nose broken?"

Scarface exclaimed for a while, attracting everyone's attention.They sniffed subconsciously, and a never-before-seen aroma rushed straight into their skulls.

The gluttons were completely aroused, and only the scent remained in their heads, like donkeys hanging by carrots, walking straight in that direction.

The crowd is like a city, lively and noisy.Everyone looked up, and in front of the booth, there was a word "Nianhua" imprinted on the round flag.

There was so much food that they didn't know what to choose.

Scarface looked around among the diners at the open-air table, and suddenly, he saw someone holding a bowl of black food, eating happily.

He came forward to ask questions very familiarly, and got a warm response.

He found a large round table, and the moment the bartender stepped forward, he said directly, "Have some noodles with fried sauce!"

Holly stirs the noodles with his chopsticks, and the hot air turns them around. The dark brown sauce is gradually stirred and attached to each noodle.

The bell in front of the door rang, he put down the fried noodles and went to open the door.

"I am back."

As soon as he opened the door, he harvested a wet rabbit essence.

"Why did you come back now?" Holly helped him take off his wet cloak, and Marci hurried to get a dry towel.

Continuing the habit of wearing slippers at home, Holly customized bamboo slippers for everyone in the family.Wilmer bent down and took off his wet shoes.

Noticing that the soles of his boots were stained with mud, Hawley asked, "Going into the forest again?"

Wilmer's neck stiffened, but he couldn't hide it. He admitted, "I've been there for a while." Then he stood up, his chin slightly retracted, his red eyes raised, and he stared silently at the other party.

"..." Looking at each other for a while, Holly sighed deeply.He knew that he couldn't stop Xiaokulou from practicing alone, because he would do the same.

"Are you hurt?"

"No."

"After you come out of the shower, I will check carefully."

"...No need!" Wilmer was ashamed and out of breath, and replied sonorously, which caused Holly to tease and chuckle.

After receiving the towel, he covered Wilmer's head and wiped Wilmer's hair carefully.

Wilmer liked how Holly wiped his hair, and closed his eyes slightly in comfort, tilting his head in the direction of the force of the towel.

"Next year, it will be Blood Moon Day."

Seemingly mentioning it inadvertently, Hawley thought his tone was calm, but actually there was a heaviness that he hadn't noticed.

He noticed that the thumb of the little skull's right hand began to tap the knuckles of the index finger unconsciously.This is Wilmer's subconscious little action, indicating that he is irritable or anxious.

He had already discovered the little trick earlier, but he never told the other party.In front of the porch, the two were relatively silent.

After an unknown amount of time, Hawley finally finished brushing Wilmer's hair. "Go take a shower." He said, "Wash quickly, and don't let the fried noodles get lumpy."
