Chapter 274 Meow
When the patrolling guards left, the girl popped her head out of the garbage. Looking at the noisy atmosphere here and smelling the stench and sweat in the streets and rivers, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The streets and rivers were not properly cleaned today, and many unlicensed stores that were usually closed were opened today. Guess today is not a 'safety day'.
So here, not only can she find a tavern where she can fill her belly, but the bad guys and bartenders there will not care about anyone suspicious or not.
And after the bartender collected enough money, when a strange person came looking for her, he would open the back door for her and cover up the traces.
The girl picked up the cloth bag in her arms and took out a few pieces of clothing. When she walked out of the alley, she had a large robe on her body and a lot of black ash on her face.
When she lifted her hood and got into the crowd who didn't pay attention to her smell, no one could tell whether this thin figure was a man or a woman.
‘Stinky Fish’ is the name of this tavern. As its name suggests, no one with any status is willing to stay here for a long time. This has allowed it to be rarely inspected and never closed for such a long time.
Logically speaking, at this time when dinner had just ended, there should be many people in the tavern. But there are only a dozen or so wandering here today. And they are all regulars at the pub.
No wonder, these alleys are a bit special, and people who are not familiar with them dare not wander around here at night. Anyone who dares to wander around this neighborhood at this time is either a gangster or a bold person with qualifications.
The girl is obviously the latter. When she asked about the unpleasant smell nearby and saw the sparse guests in the window, she stopped here.
No one wants to tease a boy like this, no matter how drunk the drunk in front of the pub is. When she opened the door and walked into the warm tavern, the drinkers glanced at her and ignored her. Instead, they glanced outside the door.
Just a few bad drunkards.
The tavern became lively again.
The plates on many empty seats had not been cleared away, but the girl didn't care. After sitting in a remote corner, the leftovers on the plate filled her eyes with curiosity, and she could no longer bear the ringing in her stomach.
Curiosity was replaced by hunger in an instant, and she frantically put the things that had been chewed by others into her mouth.
The drunkards didn't pay much attention to this man, but the bartender quickly came over with a frown on his face. It wasn't until the money bag was thrown into his arms that he returned to the kitchen with a smile on his face and brought out the food again.
"The Throat of Darkness?!" Seven or eight drunkards kept talking about the latest topic.
"Yes! The Throat of Darkness! It is said that it was originally an ancient demonic snake with millions of teeth that devoured the world. It has been sleeping in the heart of the earth for tens of millions of years. The emergence of the black tide awakened it, and it emerged from the ground , suddenly appeared behind the Bishui City defense line. At that time, it led the Kuroshio army and almost broke through Luoye City during the earthquake."
"What a coincidence! It's the day when Luoye City's troops are going to Hongzhuang!"
"Is it serious?" A drinker showed an excited look on his face: "I heard that the last time something happened in Dragon's Back City, the vultures made a lot of money! The crows following behind We all took a sip of soup."
"Don't think about it. The Duke's troops haven't even moved. It's estimated that when the news comes, the battle over there will be over." "It is said that there is a new knight group over there, which is very powerful. It should be the one who will fight this time." The matter is settled." "I heard about it, it's called Black Lake. It's the nobles in the valley. The bad guys over there made a fortune!"
"It would be great if the Throat of Darkness came here to hang out."
"Don't tell me, we recently found traces of it deep in the northern dense forest."
Hearing this, a bearded man suddenly burst out laughing: "Old Hunter, are you drunk again?"
"I swear to the Seven Gods!" The toothless old Hunter held up the ale glass in his hand and said loudly: "Haven't you ever heard of the great adventurer Earl Brenda?! He has always been here I followed this terrible devil quietly, and I had the honor of being his 'searcher' for a few days."
These words ushered in a great deal of heated discussion, and everyone cast jealous glances. It seemed that not only did this earl's name sound loud, but he was also always generous with his actions.
The girl who was eating paused slightly when she heard this, and couldn't help but prick up her ears to listen - she couldn't help but feel a great fear. If what those drunkards said were true, then what if that guy knew With this news, she is definitely dead.
‘Bah! What am I thinking, whether you can catch me or not is one thing! After tonight, I will be completely relieved! ’
"I followed the count's adventurer team, but I had a big battle with the terrifying ancient snake in the north! Just three days ago! I witnessed the 'Throat of Darkness' swallowing up the snake entrenched in the north in one go. The scene of the 'King of Fear' in the deep forest - there was only one tentacle that could not be digested and some black snake sloughs left in that place!"
There was a burst of exclamation in the tavern.
"Old Hunter, just brag. Three days ago? In this battle, you were fighting Liu Ying, right?!"
"I remember the date wrong, it might have been seven days. I came back here three days ago, but I swear to the Seven Gods! These are all true, otherwise you think, where did I get the money to go to a brothel?!"
There was a lot of discussion in the tavern, and they couldn't help but feel great fear of the Throat of Darkness.
The girl who was three-thirds full was suddenly startled when she heard this. She remembered that there was only one rotten Goron in the north. Although the meat is unpalatable after killing it, the little spiders don't care about these things.
And in this world, among the people who have seen my predecessor alive, I am afraid that I am the only one who can fight? All the unlucky ones who met this team died screaming.
Many times, his predecessor just showed his face, and those fragile humans lost all their sense in the madness and had no chance to come back to report any news.
Only then did she discover that the humans in this world were not all the soldiers she had seen in the lair. Most are vulnerable
However, because the time given by the master was very tight, after he left, the demon spiders seemed to have left the undigestible part of the Goron in place, and then rushed to the mine.
"Speaking of the great adventurer Earl Brenda, I met his attendant this afternoon!" A drinker, who was as thin as a monkey, suddenly beamed: "Here in the old city, I helped him collect Got something.”
These words immediately attracted the attention of all the guests. Their eyes sparkled and they all looked over, as if expecting what he would say next.
"Listen to him, the Earl did witness this incident, but he came back yesterday. So, old Hunter is an old bigot! Hahahaha~"
There was a burst of booing in the tavern, and Old Hunter made up a new story with a red face.
The tavern became noisy again. It was said that someone found traces of the 'Dark Throat' near Blue Water City this afternoon. The Duke was worried about this and had ordered the city to be closed.
In recent days, no one can come in or out.
[Don’t be afraid, my good baby, daddy is here, there are still fifty meters left]
The hairs all over the girl's body suddenly trembled, and she stood up suddenly - 'No, don't be nervous, Siljak. That devil may not know we’re here’
This comfort to herself gradually calmed down the restlessness in the girl's body. She took a slow breath, sat back in her seat, and grabbed the chicken legs on the plate.
The bartender suddenly came over and signaled that there were still a few dishes left to be served.
These words made the girl's expression become strange: "Oh, I'm full. There's no need to serve the rest of the food. Please give me change."
"Oh, please wait, I'll come as soon as I can."
After the bartender left, the girl immediately stuffed the remaining half of the chicken on the plate into her arms, lowered her body and headed towards the door.
"Get that man! He's a thief!"
Just as she expected, that damn greedy bartender! !
The door was in sight, and the drunkards on the seats around him were already rushing towards us. The skinny girl was extremely agile. This time she didn't need the help of her inner strength, and she still nimbly dodged the idiots who were shouting and rushing towards her.
But the chattering drunkard outside the door had already heard the noise in the house. During the attack from the front and back, a few strong men pushed her to the ground in three strokes.
The bartender came up and slapped her in the face, causing stars to fly in her head. Then he reached out and rummaged around her body: "In the past few days, this little pickpocket has been coming to the pub every day. In the morning, he stole the money from the bar and thought I didn't see him. He even dared to come here at night!"
Old Hunter, who was listening on the sidelines, scratched his face and said strangely: "Arnie, why does it sound like you stole this money?"
"Shut your mouth! If you talk nonsense again, I'll dig out your tongue!" After saying this, the bartender suddenly stopped and wiped the girl's face with his sleeve, then grabbed her chin and looked at her. After a while, he laughed strangely: "Today, you, the wandering warbler, have nothing to do with you!"
"No, no, no, let me, let me touch it too."
There was nothing left on the girl except bruises all over her body. But this became irrefutable evidence of her crime.
Just as the girl had thought before, no one would pay attention to the identity of a person like her, and the bad guys naturally had no scruples. People like this who wander around the old city at night are either guilty of something, or they are slaves. After having fun, selling her to a brothel is her best way out.
When her outer robe was roughly torn open and they looked at her delicate collarbone, the dozen or so people could no longer hide the smiles on their faces.
This kind of thing happens every night in some places in the old city. It is too common.
Amidst the obscene words, big hands were stretched out one by one, and some people couldn't help but take off their pants. But the girl was like a puppet, shaking all over.
This fear made the drunkards extremely excited, and this understanding also made them very satisfied.
But when that weird laughter, like metal friction, came from the girl's mouth, a bone-chilling chill suddenly rose from the backs of the drunkards, and the lights in the entire tavern suddenly went out!
The doors and windows suddenly flapped wildly. It's like there are countless pairs of evil hands outside. The bonfire in the tavern kept swaying and was extinguished in the blink of an eye. When it reignited again, the flame was already a deep blue, as if it came from the underworld.
In the swaying light and shadow, there were dense sounds all around, and countless reptiles originally hidden in dark corners crowded the walls!
The seats shook wildly, and several people looked at the strange scene around them, let go of the girl one after another, and backed away in horror. Someone looked at the flies flying around in the hall and suddenly coughed hard. After covering his mouth, he actually pulled out several scavenging cockroaches and two black spikes from his mouth!
"Have fun, come and play with me." After a few squeaks, the girl sitting there with disheveled hair suddenly twisted her body into a weird shape, her neck bent ninety degrees, and she used her dead white pair of He looked at everyone with his eyes: "I can make it look whatever you want."
"Ahhhhhhhh!!~" A person who looked directly into her eyes suddenly started to bleed from his nose and eyes. He grabbed his hair and ran towards the door crazily. However, he turned around halfway as if he was blind. He turned a corner and hit his head against the wall!
Hidden under the table, trembling Ani watched those people running around in panic shouting, but this small tavern seemed to have turned into an endless maze, no matter how crazy the people in it were He was running around, even lying on the door, as if he was blind and couldn't find the exit.
In this chaos, the people lying on the door could vaguely hear people walking around and chatting outside, but they turned a blind eye to everything happening inside. This particularly increased the panic of these people.
Disks continued to explode and fly up, and the seats covered with insects began to float into the air while shaking and cracking. The entire hall echoed with the ubiquitous harsh and frictional laughter, which continuously amplified the fear and despair in people's hearts.
These people, who had completely collapsed in despair and helplessness, watched their bodies slowly begin to rot. Seeing the dense masses of carrion-eating maggots that kept drilling through their rotting bodies, it was as if they were witnessing their own destruction. die.
These bugs greedily sucked the flesh and blood, and the girl's expression became more and more satisfied as the maggots fed her.
Compared with the cooked meat, these fresh things can truly satisfy the hunger in her heart.
And this first real meal made her thirst for food uncontrollable.
The power of despair began to spread from inside the tavern, and the sound of banging doors and windows began to be heard by people outside. And a thick fog began to appear from the tavern.
If anyone peeks outside at this time, they will find that the dark tavern suddenly turns dark red.
This huge power will spread to all the surrounding streets in just a few breaths
["Oh, so this is the birth process of the source of disaster. In other words, such a scene also happened in Jeffrey's manor?"]
Suddenly, there was a crashing sound in the hall, and all the tableware and seats that were floating in the air lost their support and fell to the ground. Arnie, the only bartender in the tavern who had not lost his mind, was trembling with fright. Then he saw the girl lying on the wine table. The originally arrogant girl was looking at the door in extreme panic.
"Sir, in fact, the source of disaster is the spread of out-of-control energy and despair. If the entire city is in despair and collapse, all it takes is a powerful 'seed', and it will be transformed into disaster. the source of
"I understand the source of disaster, the fire of despair. The source of disaster was born from the fire of despair. The castles and mining towns around Shushu Manor and the necropolis have all experienced this kind of despair. No wonder the priests want to Keep the fire of divine grace in Bishui City. It can not only eliminate the source of disaster, but also combine despair to extinguish its birth."
"Aji, you stay here. It's fine for your friends to come over later, but it might be inconvenient for them to come over now."
During the conversation, the two people had opened the door of the tavern and stepped in.
As the leading middle-aged man stepped into the tavern, his whole body was shrouded in a gray cloak, and he was dressed like a wandering scholar.
His eyes began to sweep through the dark and cold darkness of the tavern, and then, with a huff, all the lights in the tavern that were originally extinguished were ignited with the arrival of his gaze, and finally even the fire in the fire pit was ignited. Replaced by golden flames symbolizing hope.
Wherever the light spreads, the fog is dispersed. The insects climbing and flying all over the room scattered in fear in the light, and in the blink of an eye, not a single one was seen.
Ani watched all this with his mouth wide open, and several half-dead and hysterical rotten skins also stopped wailing while tumbling. The bugs on their bodies turned into smoke one by one and were dispersed by the light, and the rot on their bodies stopped spreading.
They opened their eyes in pain and looked at the person at the door. In the flickering light and shadow, they, who had not yet completely escaped from the illusion, vaguely saw wings of light emerging behind the man.
Just like the seven angels descending from the legendary story.
The man slowly walked up to the demon, with a smile on his face, and stroked her head.
[Good baby, are you waiting here for daddy? 】
"MMM meow." Under this caress, the girl lying on the wine table trembled all over, like a kitten.
This cry completely dispelled the despair here. The darkness of the tavern completely faded away, and the few still-dead rotten skins returned to their senses.
They cried and crawled over, but the wizard next to the man suddenly smiled sinisterly, and then the few people strangled their throats and scratched the ground frantically. After a while, they twitched and spit out white foam, and slowly died in torture.
"Deal with it well, just like you usually do-tell those black wizards that the Black Death is coming today."
After saying that, the man opened the book, "re-included" the demon, and then walked out of the door.
The wizard looked very young, but his every move was full of vicissitudes. After the boss left here, he began to walk around in the tavern, slowly counting the number of people in his mouth, and as each number came out of his mouth lightly, one person would die in the tavern.
Looking at the death god walking slowly in the tavern, the bartender Ani covered his mouth tightly, his snot, tears, feces and urine could not stop flowing out, trying not to make a sound.
The wizard finally shook his sleeves and walked towards the door. At this moment, Ani stared with his eyes wide open, unable to believe that he was still alive.
Until the footsteps stopped at the door and slowly turned around. In those playful eyes, all the hair on Ani's body exploded.
An extreme pain wrapped around him, and his lungs suddenly exploded as if on fire. He covered his throat and began to cough up blood continuously, as if he was infected with some kind of virulent plague. In the blink of an eye, black pustules appeared on his body, and he died on the ground in extreme pain.
"Who told you to touch the owner's pet? Hehehehehehe"
