The nameless town is decorated with lights and festoons, and even the falling snow cannot cool down people's enthusiasm for holding a banquet.
In the small square next to the Resurrection Stone, as the piles of firewood carefully built by the senior players were ignited by the fireball technique, the raging bonfire illuminated every corner of the square, and the residents of the town began their own carnival .
It was just a small party for a few players to celebrate the end of the event. After the lord Angela found out, he simply held a grand event that everyone in the town could enjoy, intending to improve the players Their cohesion and sense of belonging to the town.
Ever since he knew that Lancaster's underground stronghold had also become the jurisdiction appointed by the God of Games, he couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.
Well, given the current conditions of the town, it is indeed an exaggeration to describe it as 'grand'.
But this kind of banquet, which is based on a bonfire party, still impresses most people who have never experienced a celebration.
Maneyan has never felt that life is so easy. A week ago, he was just a refugee. Because of his humble background, even if he wanted to work as a helper in the shop, no one would accept him. Because of the big relationship, he has always been hungry and lived a precarious life.
After becoming a believer of the God of Games and coming to this nameless town, the originally difficult life has undergone a huge change. As long as you are willing to spend effort and take a little risk to clear those wandering skeletons in the Valley of the Dead, you will be able to You can get game currency and go to a small restaurant in the town to have a good meal.
Although some senior players complained that the menu over there was too simple and simple, for the refugees, being able to eat enough was already the greatest happiness.
Maneyan knew about the banquet. When he was in the refugee camp, he heard from an old man named Vanke Noreji that only the nobles would attend, and it belonged to the upper class.
But I didn't expect that everyone could participate in the banquet hosted by the lord.
Mane Eye is not interested in the colorful flags hanging on the street, no matter how beautiful things are, he is not satisfied, but he is very interested in the barbecue grills set up everywhere in the celebration.
The residents of the town are in charge of the barbecue grills. Some are equipped with sizzling meat skewers, while others are brightly colored, fresh and refreshing vegetable skewers. The most popular one is the grill with a whole pheasant. , the originally expensive spices were stuffed into the belly of the pheasant as if they were free of money. The roasted chicken is not only crispy on the outside, tender and juicy, but also has a strong smell of spices, which makes people feel ashamed when they smell it. Work up an appetite!
The atmosphere of the entire banquet scene gradually heated up with the appearance of senior players, and fell into a carnival.
Senior players who used to be mercenaries gathered around the bonfire, singing folk songs and dancing vulgar dances.
From the point of view of the manes with their tongues sticking out from the skewers that were just taken off the charcoal fire, those senior players danced not so much as a banquet dance, but more like a battle dance in their hometown to pray for everything to go well before hunting.
But I have to say that the simple dance is really down-to-earth and easy to learn. Some of the more courageous homeless players also walked up, imitating the movements of the senior players, twisting their limbs, and circling with them.
More senior players are not interested in dancing, but gather in twos and threes around the grill, telling their wonderful adventures.
What is it about fighting an extremely huge monster crocodile, retreating from the tide of rats that can gnaw people down to bones in an instant, and even fighting against three thousand swamp murlocs alone...
The refugees who have just become players for a short time eat this trick, listening to them fascinatedly, fantasizing that they are as strong as them, to participate in the next event, and start the same thrilling adventure.
Maneyan, who used to be a hunter, felt that they were bragging, but there was no evidence, so he could only eat skewers and listen to songs, thinking about whether to find someone to challenge the 4% of the Valley of the Dead after the banquet was over. degree of exploration.
"Why don't you go and join them in the dance?"
A voice suddenly asked.
Maneyan turned his head and found that the person who made the sound was an unfamiliar man.
If it wasn't for the white word 'Xi Wei' on the other side's head, he would have suspected that the other side was a spy somewhere.
"I'm not very good at interacting with people." After confirming that the other party didn't seem to be hostile, Maneyan took a big bite of the skewer, chewing on the fat meat and asked, "What's the matter with you? I don't think I've seen you before."
"I'm a believer in the God of Games from outside." The other party smiled kindly: "I used to have friendship with Alina and the others, and this time I came here to visit them."
"Then I'll take you to find them."
After eating the barbecue, Maneyan threw the bamboo sticks into the trash can on the side of the road, wiped his mouth casually, and warned Xi Wei in a low voice: "It's good here, but some regulations are too strict, and you can't litter. , You have to go to the toilet even if you shit and pee, you can’t do anything anywhere, otherwise you will be fined... "
"But the town looks tidy and clean, and life will be more comfortable, won't it?"
"It's true when you say that, the life here is indeed much better than outside." Maneyan cheerfully scratched his hair, which was much thicker than ordinary people, and let out a foolish smile.
The two talked like this while passing through the noisy crowd.
There are also some familiar people in the crowd.
For example, not far from the bonfire, Angela, the lord of the unnamed town, was chatting with Magne.
"Thank you, Mr. Wilf, for getting so many supplies. Otherwise, it would be impossible to hold a celebration of this scale with the town's reserves alone."
"No need, no matter what I say, I'm a businessman, and I won't do things that lose money."
"How do you say this? Ah, if it's inconvenient, it's okay not to say..."
"It's okay, sir, do you still remember the 'shop' building that was built a few days ago?"
"Oh, that. The things inside are indeed very good, but the price is not too expensive, but it is troublesome that there is a limit on the number of purchases per person per day."
After obtaining the shop's architectural drawings from Edward, Angela built this thing. This store is actually a system store provided by Xi Wei to players. It sells some red potions, blue potions, city return scrolls, identification scrolls, etc. After players accumulate enough reputation, they can unlock more advanced potions and props. .
However, because Xi Wei's power of faith is limited, it is impossible to provide players with these items without limit, so a purchase limit was set.
"After I used the game currency to buy the excess medicine from the players, I took it to Lancaster and resold it into Lien, then bought the supplies, and then shipped them to the town."
"… I see."
"The purpose of telling you the news this time is to establish a normal trading relationship with you. The construction of the town will definitely need more supplies in the future. Don't you think it would be better to have a stable supplier? "
"Mr. Wilf, you are really good at making money..."
Angela didn't think about abandoning Magne and letting Vera go to Lancaster to make potions according to the script.
After all, Magne has been a traveling merchant for half his life, so he must have his own channel to sell these medicines without attracting attention. There is probably a reason for him to tell this matter so openly.
"Of course. Ordinary people earn coins and Lien, players earn game currency, and I..." Manie stretched out her palm, and slowly clenched her fist under Angra's gaze: "I want it all!"
Angela: "..."
Not far away, Maneyan was sweating profusely on his forehead.
"It always feels like we've heard some dirty deal..."
"It's okay, they will talk about this in such a large public, and they don't care about others eavesdropping." Xi Wei comforted.
He paused, and added: "Probably."
"..." Mane Yanxin said that your consolation made me even more flustered!
