The four of them were once again running wildly through the streets of the town with a string of monsters.
The players walking in the thick fog heard the noise here and avoided it very alertly. They hid in the corner, watched the four people running past with a group of monsters, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially the group of Western players, with yesterday's experience, they intuitively thought that it might be the group of Eastern players who did something. As a result, they saw that it was them.
Someone asked in confusion: "What are these people doing? Why are they attracting so many monsters?"
Odinson looked in the direction where the monster disappeared, thinking back to what Gu Jiu had said, and seemed to have realized something.
Just before I was almost succumbed to the monster's pursuit, the thick fog finally dissipated.
Chai Yingying and Jiang Ze could no longer maintain their image and simply collapsed to the ground, unable to even utter a word of complaint.
Today they were chased by monsters for a longer time than yesterday. It is conceivable that the time they had to run was also prolonged. Even if the B-level players had good physical strength and endurance, they could not bear it.
Facing the accusing gazes of the two, Gu Jiu said, "You haven't exercised enough."
Two people: “…” Who is as perverted as you two
Gu Jiu and Lu Ji sat aside, waiting patiently for the two to recover.
Lu Ji took out a bottle of milk for his girlfriend to replenish her water, and stared at her rosy face. The sprint just now made her breathing a little disordered. Beads of sweat slid down her forehead and dripped along her chin onto her clothes.
His eyes followed the drop of sweat, and he couldn't help but think of her sweating on the bed, which was breathtakingly beautiful under the dim light.
"Aji, what are you thinking about?"
Gu Jiu looked at her boyfriend with a smile and found that his pale face suddenly turned red. Not knowing the truth, she thought it was due to the running just now.
Lu Ji hurriedly took a tissue to wipe her sweat, not daring to look at her.
After they had rested for a while, Gu Jiu asked Chai Yingying and the other person to go their separate ways, and then he took Lu Ji away.
The two came to Lisel Street.
"Adventurer sister."
Little Ella was lying at the window, and she stretched out a thin little hand from the crack and waved at them. When they approached, she opened the door to welcome them out.
Little Ella looked at them very happily, "Adventurer sister, lunch is almost ready, come in."
After being invited by the host, Gu Jiu and his companion stepped into the house.
Little Ella worked hard to carry a relatively small table over, but it was still a bit heavy for a skinny seven or eight-year-old child. Lu Ji took it and put it not far from the door, and then saw Little Ella carrying four more chairs over.
Today's lunch is for four people.
"Adventurer sister, please take a seat first. I'll go in and serve lunch." Little Ella entertained them warmly.
Gu Jiu responded with a smile, watched little Ella go into the kitchen, then walked towards the innermost room.
Lu Ji walked slowly, his eyes wandering in the dimly lit room.
The room looked messy, but in fact there was order in the chaos, with many things placed in a messy manner, as if deliberately hiding something. There was a strange smell floating in the air, like the stagnant breath of a space that had been closed for too long, but if you listened carefully, you could feel the faint smell.
This smell is very similar to the smell coming from the counter in the Witch Tavern.
On the low cabinet against the wall, in a wicker basket, there was a black object that was exactly the same as the magic item that old Joseph had carefully wiped.
Lu Ji glanced casually and followed Gu Jiu into the room where little Ella's grandmother lived.
The old lady sat beside the bed and looked over quietly.
She had recovered from her illness and looked in good spirits. She was wearing a very clean long dress, her hair was neatly combed behind her head, and she stood straight, looking like a sophisticated old lady.
She wasn't surprised at all to see the two of them.
Gu Jiu lit the oil lamp and said, "Old lady, although this little darkness does not affect your eyesight, little Ella is still young, you should consider her."
The old lady didn't say anything.
Gu Jiu smiled, as if not caring about this cold reception, and continued: "Or is Xiao Ella the same as you, are you both witches?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The old lady finally spoke, but her voice was a stern rebuke.
Gu Jiu looked at her with a smile. The pair of eyes behind the glasses were shrouded in shadows and were clear and sharp. The old lady quickly lost her temper and said in a hoarse voice, "When did you find out?"
"I discovered it on the first day." Her voice was gentle. "The atmosphere in this room is very similar to that of the Witch Tavern."
After becoming a B-level player, her five senses became more and more sensitive. When she used them deliberately, she could always detect special auras that ordinary people could not perceive.
Whether it's the Witch Tavern or this house, they have the same aura.
So when little Ella was lying behind the window and peeking at them, she used food to lure little Ella out, and then used medicine to induce little Ella to actively invite them into the house.
Without the owner's invitation, outsiders cannot enter the houses in the town of Ella at will. This is a magical protection.
The Witch Tavern is undoubtedly the most special place in the town of Ella.
After Odinson's investigation last night, he confirmed the true situation of the Witch Tavern. Naturally, the house with the same atmosphere as the Witch Tavern was listed as a suspect.
From the moment he met Xiao Aila, Gu Jiu began to test her.
Whether it was saying that little Ella's eyes were like mist grass, or deliberately turning on the lights, or even being invited into the house twice, it was all a temptation.
The result lived up to her expectations.
Aside from the fact that the house smells like a tavern, there are also a lot of magical items in the house.
Of course, Gu Jiu is not like a magic doll that can tell at a glance which magical items are magical. But the spiritual power in her body has awakened the body of a celestial demon. The blood of a celestial demon is very domineering. Even though she does not understand magic, magic is also a kind of power. She could sense the breath of magic at once.
Therefore, she could sense the abnormality of those magical items to some extent.
The old lady was stunned. She didn't expect the reason for being exposed was like this. An incredible look appeared on her face, and she looked at Gu Jiu as if he was a monster.
This reason sounds unreliable. How can a normal person tell the difference by the breath
Gu Jiu did not explain. After all, players were different from those adventurers, and she was also different from those players.
She smiled and said, "Ms. Ella, I wonder what I should call you?"
"I am the witch Ella you are looking for." The old lady said coldly.
Gu Jiu laughed, "Old lady, we didn't tell you that we were looking for the witch Ella, why did you say it yourself?"
The only person who knew that they were looking for the witch Ella was the tavern owner. When the player asked the tavern owner about the tavern, he more or less revealed their purpose. As long as old Joseph was not stupid, he would always be able to guess it.
There was a mocking look in the old lady's eyes, as if she was laughing at her hypocrisy. Since she had already guessed it, why bother pretending anymore
At this time, the sound of footsteps was heard, and the cute face of little Ella appeared at the door, saying happily, "Grandma, Adventurer Sister, lunch is ready."
Gu Jiu and the old lady turned to look at her, with gentle expressions on their faces.
Little Ella prepared only one kind of lunch, which was wild vegetable dumplings made from chopped wild vegetables and starch ground from some plant roots. They were not even steamed.
It was hard, bitter, and definitely not tasty.
This was the only food that Xiao Aila could bring out to entertain the guests. She looked at Gu Jiu and Lu Ji anxiously, worried that they would dislike it. In fact, she also understood that these adventurers had delicious food, and compared with the buns that Gu Jiu gave them, these were simply garbage and difficult to eat.
To her surprise, the two of them ate it without changing their expressions.
"Although it doesn't taste good, it was carefully prepared by little Ella and cannot be wasted." Gu Jiu said to the little girl with a smile.
Her voice was as gentle as water, and when her eyes looked at him, people had the illusion that she was treating them tenderly. A girl of seven or eight years old could not withstand such an attack and soon fell.
Her face flushed with joy and she was speechless.
Gu Jiu and Lu Ji finished one dumpling out of respect, but the eldest lady refused to eat the second one no matter what.
Although little Ella was a little disappointed, she was still very happy.
After lunch, Gu Jiu and Lu Ji got up and left.
Little Ella reluctantly said, "Adventurer sister, will you come tomorrow?"
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "No."
Little Ella's eyes widened, a look of fear appeared on her face. She said anxiously, "Is it because of the monster outside? Will you be eaten by the monster?"
She still had a smiling expression and said with certainty, "No." Before the little girl could be happy, she asked again, "Little Ella, are you afraid of those monsters?"
Little Ella nodded, with a look of uneasiness and fear on her face, "The monster is terrible and has eaten many people."
Gu Jiu also nodded and echoed: "Yes, they are scary!"
The old lady sat in the shadows, looking at them with gloomy eyes. Unfortunately, the little girl was still young and did not notice the changes in her grandmother. Gu Jiu and Lu Ji noticed that the old lady was in a bad mood, but did not take it to heart.
After leaving Xiao Ella's house, Gu Ji was too lazy to inquire about any news. The two of them strolled around the town casually, admiring the scenery of the exotic town.
When it was almost time, they returned to the tavern.
The tavern owner sat behind the counter taking care of the magic supplies as usual, but when the players came in, he was no longer as nonchalant as before. His expression became serious and he was alert to them.
Obviously he already knew that these players' actions last night must have discovered the secret of the tavern.
Odinson, Hortin and other informed players looked at Old Joseph calmly, sat in the tavern on the first floor in tacit understanding, and chatted casually with their companions.
After the group of adventurers came down from upstairs, the players took out drinks and food to entertain them.
They drank until dark, and the group of adventurers got drunk again. They lay on the table drunkenly and babbled nonsense. Only the player remained sober.
Old Joseph looked over here from time to time with a cold look in his eyes.
The other players who were unaware of the situation inexplicably felt that something was going to happen tonight, so they sat quietly by the sidelines, not daring to go upstairs to rest.
Although it is just intuition, players' intuition is often very accurate.
"I think this old man is up to something bad." Chai Yingying whispered, "Is he going to kick us out of the pub?"
Jiang said affirmatively: "Probably not, we didn't do anything today."
“Xiao Zeze, you are wrong.” Chai Yingying corrected him, “We didn’t do anything, but those people did something…” She nodded her chin towards the group of Western players, “I guess the old man knows it very well.”
Jiang remained silent.
Odinson explored the basement of the tavern last night. With the players' methods, he must have done it very secretly, but magic, a Western metaphysics that they don't understand, might be able to sense something, so it is normal for the tavern owner to find out.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the screams of the monsters outside were almost ringing in my ears.
Odinson and others were still sitting here steadily, and no one knew when the tavern owner would leave.
The other players felt something was wrong, but seeing that no one else had any intention of leaving, they could only sit here with their heads held high, their premonition of some kind of danger growing stronger.
Finally, with a loud bang, the wall on the west side of the tavern cracked open, and a monster crawled in from the crack.
Someone screamed, "The monster is coming in!"
The players' faces changed drastically.
Odinson, Huo Ting, Gu Jiu and others reacted very quickly. When the monster came in, they had already rushed towards the counter.
"Go to the basement!" Odinson shouted, and rushed into the door next to the counter with several Western players.
The players jumped up and took the drunk adventurers with them to prevent them from becoming food for the monsters.
