"What's the matter with this Witch Tavern?" Chai Yingying asked.
After entering the town of Ella, they found that the doors of all the houses in the town were closed, as if no one lived there. Only the door of the Witch Tavern was open, and there was a lamp hanging outside, as if to guide people in the thick fog.
Allens asked sharply: "Also, why did those monsters turn a blind eye to the Witch Tavern?"
They just rushed into the tavern, and the monsters chasing them not only ignored the Witch Tavern, but even seemed to lose their scent when they came in, lingering around for a while before leaving.
From this we can see that the Witch Tavern is extremely special.
From the players' point of view, the Witch Tavern is a safe haven provided by the game world for players to rest, without having to fight monsters in the thick fog all the time.
But how did this safe haven appear? There must be a reason, right
Mina said: "I asked, and they said it was because there was a magic circle left by a witch in the tavern to protect it."
"Witch Ella?"
"I don't know." Mina shrugged. "No one knows the origin of the Witch Tavern. It is said that this tavern appeared in the town a long time ago. It seems that it existed when the town was first established. In the memory of the residents, it has always been called this name until the thick fog covered the town and monsters appeared. It became the safest place in the town."
"Some people speculate that the witch tavern was built by a kind witch, and the magic barrier she left behind prevented the monsters from discovering the tavern's existence."
Although monsters are evil, witches are not.
In the minds of the people in this world, witches are a special group that can use magic, just like magicians. They are very mysterious and rarely appear in front of ordinary people, resulting in the world's ignorance of the existence of witches and magicians.
However, this does not prevent people from naming it after witch, magic, etc.
So the name of the Witch Tavern is actually very common in this world. If the disaster had not befallen the town of Ella, I'm afraid the residents of the town would not know that this Witch Tavern is so special.
Looking at the Witch Tavern again, you can tell that it has a long history. Not only is the space cramped, but all the objects and furnishings appear very old and worn, as if exuding an air of decay.
This shows that the Witch Tavern has a very long history.
It is still open for business, providing a shelter for adventurers who stop by the town.
As they were talking, the three players who went to the counter to find the boss were also forced back by the bar owner's cold words.
As the owner of the tavern, the player subconsciously treats him with caution and will not do anything rashly before figuring out the situation clearly. So when the boss speaks coldly to the player, even if the player is unhappy, he can hold back.
The three players walked over here.
Compared with the indigenous NPCs, players have natural conditions for forming alliances, so the three players wanted to understand the situation and decided to come to the players first.
These three players are also Oriental.
Perhaps because of Gu Jiu's life-saving grace just now, Mina and others had a good impression of these Oriental people and were not reluctant to tell them the news they had just found out.
"Oh, right, the Witch Tavern should be where we rest in the game world this time. We need to go and register for accommodation first." Mina pointed to the counter. "Adventurers live in the tavern. There are guest rooms upstairs for adventurers, but there are not many rooms. We need to grab a room quickly."
They didn't know how many players would enter the game world this time, so they had to book a room quickly before other players came in, otherwise other players would probably have to stay in the tavern lobby.
Hearing this, the players present went to the counter again without hesitation.
After wiping the table, the boss put the rag, whose color could no longer be seen, aside, looked at the players, and said, "There are twelve empty rooms now. If you want to stay, just register. The accommodation fee is one gold coin per night."
What is the concept of a gold coin
The players who have just come in don’t know this, and they are not short of money. If the boss asks them to pay with some other currency in this world, they won’t be able to take it out, but gold coins are too easy to come by.
"I want one room, book it for half a month first." Gu Jiu threw out a gold bar.
The boss looked at her, took the gold bar, and handed her a copper key.
Others also took out gold bars, gold nuggets, gold ingots and other things and put them on the table to reserve a room.
Chai Yingying also asked for a room to live with Jiang Ze. She knew that the eldest lady would definitely share a room with Lu Ji, so she didn't expect to squeeze with them.
The players present alone took up seven rooms, leaving five left.
They had just booked a room when another player rushed in, chased by a monster.
Everyone looked over and found that they were six highly recognizable Western players with tall eyebrows and broad eyes.
These six Western players had varying degrees of injuries, but none as serious as Alva's. When they came in, the tavern was filled with a stronger smell of blood. Even the few adventurers in the corner who had nothing to do with it couldn't help but look over. Seeing them covered in blood, they couldn't help but show some sympathy.
"Did you also encounter those monsters?" Mina asked.
"Are you talking about those black humanoid monsters?" a handsome young man said, "We encountered two of them. If we hadn't dodged in time, we would have been killed by them."
"These monsters are so scary, they seem to have come out of the fog."
"There's something strange about this fog."
… …
As the six of them talked, they looked around the players in the tavern and were surprised to find that there were players with oriental faces this time.
Because of the differences in culture and customs between the East and the West, players are divided into camps of Eastern players and Western players in the Boundless City. They do not interfere with each other. After all, the game worlds they enter are different and there is no conflict of interest.
It was rare for players from the two camps to enter the same game world, but unexpectedly this game world brought together both.
It seems that the game world this time is quite special.
Of course, judging from the current situation, the customs and culture of the town of Ella are more suitable for Western players, while Eastern players are somewhat underutilized here.
As they were thinking this, they heard Mina say, "Actually, these monsters are easy to kill. Just use an exorcism talisman."
"Exorcism Talisman?" The handsome young man Odinson asked in surprise, "Exorcism Talismans can actually kill monsters?"
Instantly, he understood why the game store was so generous in offering unlimited purchases of Exorcism Talismans.
In fact, it is no wonder that these Western players could not imagine that exorcism talismans could kill monsters. In the eyes of all players, exorcism talismans are also a kind of talismans, and talismans are things that Eastern players are good at. Western players rarely use such things in the game world they enter.
It's just because everyone lives in the Boundless City and can share what they have with each other. Some Western players are also curious about the talismans of Eastern players and will buy some to use. After all, this thing is quite useful at critical moments.
There are no useless props, only props used correctly.
Even though they bought the exorcism talisman, they thought it was to be used against the cursed witch Ella. Plus, not many of them were bought, and they were all intended to be used as trump cards. No one thought of using it on those monsters.
Inertial thinking is deadly.
Western players are naturally more familiar with each other. Although Mina and others don’t know them, it does not hinder communication with each other. After learning the general information about the town from Mina, the six players quickly booked three rooms.
Finally, there were two left.
Chai Yingying held the key and said with a smile: "I don't know how many players have not arrived yet. If there are more, I'm afraid there won't be enough rooms left."
Jiang Ze looked at the players in the tavern and found that there were twelve Western players so far.
Six players from the East.
After getting the key, they went upstairs to see the room.
Gu Jiuding's room was the first one on the third floor near the stairs. After opening it with the key, he found that the room was indeed very small, about three or four square meters. Apart from a 1.5-meter bed, there was not even a table or chair. It was so simple that it was speechless.
It's too crowded for two people to live in.
The other rooms are similar.
After looking at the room, Gu Jiu returned to the pub on the first floor, took out a box of milk, bit the straw, and drank while looking towards the door.
If the Witch Tavern is the only shelter in the town, other players will come looking for it sooner or later.
Of course, players who unfortunately died do not count.
Gu Ji believed in Lu Ji's ability, and it was only a matter of time before Lu Ji came looking for him.
Then Chai Yingying, Jiang Ze and others came down. Except for players like Alva who were seriously injured, others also came down one after another and continued to observe the situation in the tavern and outside.
Mina and the others came down soon.
There was no point in staying in the room, so they all chose to sit in the tavern and continue observing the situation in the town.
Mina and others went to communicate with the adventurers again, hoping to dig out more clues from them.
Chai Yingying was one who couldn't sit still, so she followed over as well. In the end, only Jiang Ze and Gu Jiu were left sitting facing the door of the tavern.
Gu Jiu looked at her watch. The time on her watch had been adjusted to the time of Ella Town, so she used this to tell the time.
It is already 4:30 in the afternoon, an hour and a half after the player entered the game world.
"From what we can see now, the area of Ella Town is not small." Jiang Ze said softly, "With the strength of the players, they will be able to find us sooner or later."
This was a disguised way of comforting Gu Jiu, telling her not to worry about Lu Ji. It must be because the town of Ella was too big and other players couldn't find it.
The visibility in the thick fog is very low, and the monsters emerging from the fog do have a certain impact on the player's search for shelter.
Gu Jiu smiled at him and said, "Thank you. Actually, I'm not worried about Ah Ji."
If you're not worried, why are you still staying here
Jiang Ze felt that she was just pretending to be strong, so he didn't say anything. He just accompanied her silently, his eyes looking out the door.
There was thick fog outside the door, with visibility of only one hundred meters. Nothing could be seen beyond one hundred meters. Opposite the tavern Jiangkou, there happened to be a road leading to nowhere, and the tavern was located in the middle of the intersection.
The sound of footsteps was heard outside the door.
Jiang Zejun's eyebrows moved slightly, and he soon saw the four players rushing in.
It's an Eastern player.
The four people were two men and two women. When they came in, they looked at the dim tavern vigilantly until their eyes adjusted to the light in the tavern and they could see the small tavern clearly.
Then, a surprised voice sounded: "Gu Jiu?! Why are you here?!"
