There is a plant of mist grass hanging on the wall next to the clock.
The square is very spacious. The big bell and the stone wall supporting it are the only buildings. They are like obstacles standing here. With the destructive power of monsters, they can easily destroy the big bell and the stone wall.
So it is normal for the residents of the town to place a plant of mist grass here.
Gu Jiu also saw the Misty Grass and said, "Little Ella said that this clock existed when the town was built and has the same history as the town."
It has witnessed the history of the town's development.
Therefore, to the residents of the town, the big clock in the square is of great significance, and they would rather use a plant of mist grass to protect it from being destroyed by monsters.
The two walked around the big clock and the stone wall.
The stone wall is five meters high, and a large clock is embedded at a height of four meters. It is a mechanical Big Ben. When you get close to it, you can hear the sound of the mechanical gears moving.
The technological level of this world can be inferred from this clock.
"There is magic, technology, and demons... The development of this world is quite interesting." Gu Jiu said with a smile, "In the future, it should be able to develop into a world that combines magic and technology."
After looking at the big clock, Gu Jiu took down the withered Misty Grass on it and replaced it with a Misty Grass picked today.
At this time, two townspeople who came with Misty Grass saw this scene, and grateful smiles appeared on their thin faces. It was obvious that Gu Jiu's action easily won their favor.
The two men introduced themselves. The older one was the mayor of Ella Town, and the younger one was the mayor's eldest son. They were responsible for replacing the mist grass for the big bell every time.
"Thank you, adventurers from outside," the mayor said politely, "May the witch bless you."
Gu Jiu jumped down from the stone wall and said with a smile, "We picked a lot of Misty Grass today, so it's nothing to give it one." She changed the subject, "Why do you say the witch blesses us? Is this town protected by the witch?"
"Yes, when the town of Ella was first established, a passing witch gave it protective magic."
"The witch's magic is still protecting us."
The two of them had expressions of admiration and awe on their faces, and they praised the kind witch sincerely.
Gu Jiu asked with interest: "Who is this witch? Doesn't she live in the town?"
"The witch was just passing by. She blessed the town with magic and left soon. By the way, the witch's name is Ella. Our town was protected by the witch, so we named the town Ella..."
This was an inside story that the adventurers didn't know, and even little Ella hadn't mentioned it.
Gu Jiu understood that these were probably inside information that only the mayor knew. After all, this world was still very awed by the existence of magicians and would not easily mention them.
If Gu Jiu hadn't personally updated the Misty Grass for Da Zhong this time and won the mayor's favor, I'm afraid the mayor wouldn't have said it.
"I heard that the residents of your town like to name girls Ella. Is it also because of the witch?"
The mayor smiled and said, "Yes, Ella is a beautiful name. It is the best blessing for the child."
Although many townspeople do not know that Ella is the witch's name, since the town is called this, it can be regarded as an alternative way to remember the kind witch.
"Mayor, we are now staying in the Witch Hotel. I wonder what the relationship is between this Witch Hotel and Witch Ella?"
"It doesn't matter. It's just a hotel run by an old man who just gave it a witch name." The mayor looked unconcerned.
Gu Jiu was surprised and said, "Is that so? I thought the hotel was also protected by the witch, so those monsters didn't attack the tavern..."
"That's impossible. The monsters don't attack because of the Misty Grass."
Seeing the mayor's confident look, Gu Jiu said nothing more and handed the remaining Miwu grass to him.
"This is what we picked today. We picked a lot, but we don't have enough of it, so we'll give it to you. You can give it to whoever needs it." Gu Jiu spoke gently, and her beautiful and elegant face seemed to glow.
In the eyes of the mayor and his son, this beautiful adventurer from a foreign land is like a kind witch.
They thanked us profusely and were too embarrassed to ask for any compensation.
There is very little food left in the town, and every household is in trouble. If they only give one or two plants, they can still give some food, but here there are thirty or forty plants...
"No reward." Gu Jiu said gently, "If I have any questions about the town, I hope the mayor can help us solve them."
The mayor didn't think that there were any secrets in their town that couldn't be known by these adventurers, so he answered very quickly and left with the Misty Grass to give to the families who didn't have it.
The number of residents in the town is dwindling, and he hopes that the mist grass can help more people survive.
When the time was almost up, Gu Jiu and the others returned to the Witch Tavern.
Thick fog enveloped the town again, and soon the town was shrouded in fog, with no sunlight visible.
Before the thick fog fell, all the players returned to the Witch Tavern, and the drunken adventurers also came down from the guest rooms upstairs.
Yesterday, the Western players treated this group of adventurers to good food and wine, and got a lot of information from them. In the end, these adventurers got drunk and slept until the afternoon.
"The fog has risen again," said an adventurer sadly, "We can never leave this damn place."
"I shouldn't have come in in the first place."
"I thought I could unlock the secrets of the fog, but I didn't know they were scarier than I imagined."
… …
The group of adventurers became more and more sad as they talked. They sat together with red eyes and drank the remaining wine carefully.
"There are about 10,000 residents alive in the town now," Jiang Ze said, "and there are nearly 500 girls named Ella, of all ages."
Chai Yingying sighed, "There are so many girls named Ella. Why do they all choose this name? I heard it is the most beautiful blessing, but I don't know what's beautiful about it."
"Of course it's a beautiful blessing." Gu Jiu said, "I heard that Ella is a kind witch."
Chai Yingying and Jiang Ze looked over, both with surprise on their faces. After hearing the news that Gu Jiu got from the mayor, they couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Gu Jiu leaned against Lu Ji, biting the straw and drinking milk, and said, "Regarding the Witch Tavern, the mayor and these adventurers each have their own stories."
The mayor believes that the Witch Tavern has nothing to do with Witch Ella, while the adventurers believe that the tavern is protected by the witch, so the monsters ignore its existence.
"Maybe the mayor is right." Chai Yingying said, "Given the mayor's position in Ella Town, he knows more information."
Jiang Ze retorted: "That's not right. Didn't we already know the special features of the Witch Tavern yesterday?"
"So this is the weird thing about the Witch Tavern." Chai Yingying suddenly gained confidence. "Our first priority now is to find out the truth about the Witch Tavern."
Jiang Ze asked expectantly, "How do we find out?"
"Go ask the boss." Chai Yingying got up and went to the counter to find the boss.
Jiang Ze followed curiously.
After the two left, someone sat in front of Gu Jiu.
It's Huo Ting.
Gu Jiu looked up at him, and his gaze fell on Chen Zhiru who was farther away. Although Chen Zhiru did not come over, his eyes were staring at them as if he was guarding against a thief, and it was unclear who he was guarding against.
She found it a little funny and smiled provocatively at Chen Zhiru. Chen Zhiru was so angry that his hair stood up.
This time Gu Jiu really laughed out loud.
It's terrible.
Chen Zhiru was so angry that he almost died, and the bystanders didn't know what to say.
Everyone can see that Gu Jiu is bullying Chen Zhiru, but Chen Zhiru is too disappointing. This kind of childish bullying is nothing, but she is easily fooled and is very angry.
Huo Ting did not interfere in the sisters' lawsuit, and it was not something he could interfere in.
Based on his understanding of Gu Jiu, she prefers to deal with people she doesn't like herself, and she won't be happy if someone interferes with her for her own good. So he never paid attention to Chen Zhiru before, but after knowing that she was a player, he treated her as someone who could be cultivated and useful in the real world.
In his opinion, Chen Zhiru was also a wonderful person. She knew clearly that Gu Jiu didn't like her, but she just liked to get close to him and let Gu Jiu bully her. No one knew what her mentality was.
Huo Ting looked at Gu Jiu and Lu Ji opposite him, pursed his lips slightly to reveal a trace of determination, suppressed all his thoughts, and said calmly: "Gu Jiu, do we want to exchange information?"
"Sure." Gu Jiu said generously.
Today is the second day that the player has come to the game world, and he has exchanged a lot of information with the residents of the town using the Misty Grass, which is a good opportunity for them to share what they have.
Huo Ting and his team also launched a search for the name "Ella" today, and the results they obtained were similar to Chai Yingying. There were too many girls named "Ella", and they were all ordinary people, and had nothing to do with witches.
In addition, they also went to check the edge of the town.
"Although the thick fog at noon has dissipated, the edge of the town is still shrouded in a barrier formed by the thick fog, isolating it from the outside world. At the same time, it is also impossible to see the situation outside, and attacks are ineffective against it."
Gu Jiu nodded slightly, not surprised by the result.
If the edge barrier could be broken so easily, those adventurers would not be trapped here.
"Gu Jiu, do you think this thick fog is related to the witch's magic?"
Gu Jiu thought for a moment, "What about the monster in the thick fog?"
"It should be some kind of alien creature from this world, summoned from other places. Just like the demon world in the Western fantasy world, these monsters are obviously creatures from the demon world." Huo Ting deduced calmly, "So this thick fog should be like a large summoning circle, and the residents of the town are like sacrifices to the devil."
When Ella was at its most prosperous, the town had nearly 50,000 residents, not including the floating population that came to Ella to do business. After the disaster, the population dropped sharply to 10,000.
Gu Jiu's expression turned serious, "Your speculation makes sense."
Huo Ting smiled, "But it's clear that the residents of the town don't know much about witches. They don't even know the origin of the name 'Ella', so we can't get more detailed information from them."
"The mayor should know."
Gu Jiu told him about what happened to the mayor today.
Huo Ting stared at her blankly and said with emotion: "You are so lucky."
She also used Misty Grass to exchange information with residents. While others were still filtering various information, she was lucky enough to meet the mayor and won his favor.
Luck is also a kind of strength.
This shows that she has her own strengths in becoming a B-level player in just half a year.
