through the dark road

Chapter 157 Atma's Hospitality
"Please wait a moment, I'll come as soon as I go!" Yatma earnestly beckoned the three of Mo Bei to sit down, as if afraid that they would leave.Then he quickly walked into the back hall and entered a cellar.

Surrounded by a circle of tavern guests, Mo Bei felt a little uncomfortable. After waiting on pins and needles for a while, he saw Atma come out of the cellar, holding a brown glazed clay pot in his arms, carefully using his sleeves as he walked. wiped.

"This is a jar of wine that my husband and I saved when we opened the tavern. It has been almost 20 years. In fact, when it was sealed, we didn't know when we would open it. Not long ago we watched it in the cellar I only remembered this jar of wine, and said that when Lu Gaoyin was no longer threatened by monsters, he would open it to celebrate..."

"You avenged my husband and children. I think this wine just represents me and my family, thank you!"

As Atma said, she took out a letter opener from behind the counter, and removed the wax seal, revealing a small bowl with intricate patterns, which was placed upside down on the jar.

After the small bowl was lifted, the cork underneath was revealed.

Yatma buckled the cork and unscrewed it forcefully, the clay pot shook for a while, a wisp of wine flowed down the surface of the pot, and the rich and sweet smell of wine permeated.

It's fruit wine.

Just smelling the aroma of wine, Mo Bei felt a little salivary, and his throat rolled.

Ordinary wine, even if it has been cellared for 20 years, is still an ordinary wine.As for the altar hidden by Atma, the ingredients used for brewing are carefully selected, with a peculiar fruity aroma, and it seems to have the aroma of sweet roots.

The wine was poured into the glass, and the aroma had spread to Leier's table.The three big men swallowed their saliva at the same time, their eyes widened and they looked this way, almost scratching their ears and cheeks.

Mo Bei pretended not to see, stood up with a wine glass, and said to Atma.

"Your husband and children are human heroes! This wine should be toasted to them first!"

As he spoke, he turned sideways and slowly spilled a small half of the wine in the glass on the ground.

Seeing this, Atma's tears burst out of her eyes again, and fell to the ground together with the wine. She raised her hands to cover her mouth, but quickly put them down again, and burst into tears with a gratified smile.

The three of Leier stared blankly at the ground that was wet with wine, but they also knew that it was not good to disturb them at this time, so they were very anxious.

Mo Bei drank the rest of the wine in the glass in one gulp. The aroma of the wine was so refreshing that it turned into a warm current filling his heart, making him exhale involuntarily.

He was just a small transparent laborer before time travelling, and naturally he had never drank any expensive wine, so he didn't know what real good wine should be like.But he felt that this feeling at this time should be hard to forget.

Raising his hand to stop Atma from continuing to pour the wine, he asked solemnly.

"Can I put this away first? Wait until the day we really defeat the forces of hell, and then take it out and drink enough!"

Atma nodded, put down the clay pot, and pushed it forward.

Mo Bei re-plugged the clay pot, but saw Perona staring intently at the small bowl.

"Where did this come from?" Perona asked Atma, holding a small bowl.

"This... It seems that my husband picked it up when he was practicing. When he sealed the jar of wine, he felt that the size was just right, so he buckled it on top." Atma frowned and thought for a while, and finally remembered something at that time. scenario.

"Is there any problem?" Mo Bei asked.

Perona shook her head, obviously unable to explain why for a while, and asked Atma again.

"can you give me?"

"Well, that's also part of the wine jar, so it's okay."

Mo Bei put the wine jar in his inventory and put it together with the cheating amulet.

Seeing him put away the wine jar, the three of Leier sighed for a while, turned their heads away from him, and continued to eat their own food in annoyance.

"Mrs. Atma, we still have to go to the Mage Guild. I'll bother you later!" Mo Bei saw the four corpses again while serving the wine, thinking he should settle the matter quickly.

"Please come and sit often, I will definitely keep good wine for you." Yatma has wiped away the tears again, but the eye circles are still red, and said eagerly.

"Yatma, why are you so eccentric, you can't give me a taste of good wine!?" A tall, round-armed drunk suddenly yelled.

"I'm just kidding, but what you drank was also a rare good wine in Lu Gaoyin." Atma smiled like a standard tavern proprietress, and smoothed things over.

"Nonsense!" The drunk man leaned his head over, sniffed the water-stained ground, and said loudly:

"The wine I drank... has nothing to do with this, you... just partiality!"

"Why don't you go and rest first, and I'll serve you better wine next time." Yatma also knew that she couldn't be serious with a drunk, so she wanted to persuade him to leave first.

"No! You let him take out the wine."

"Gigles, do you think that I can mess around here because my husband and son are gone?" Atma was not the kind of cowardly woman, and her face turned cold when she saw the drunkard's reluctance.

As soon as the words fell, the other guests in the tavern all stared at the drunk named Gigles with unkind eyes.

Rael, Hotzke, and Grob also got up suddenly, because they were sitting by the window, the light in the tavern suddenly dimmed.

Facing the sense of oppression exuded by the three barbarian brothers, Kigles shifted his eyes, pretending that he had nothing to do with him, but did not make a sound.He drank his own wine in one gulp, took out a small handful of silver coins and put them on the table, hiccupped and left the tavern directly.

"He, won't come back to make trouble again?" Mo Bei asked.

"It's okay, he just talks too much when he's drunk." Yatma waved his hand nonchalantly, and beckoned the others to sit down.

"He wasn't like this before, but now he's become a little...crazy." Alice sighed.

"What do you mean?" Mo Bei couldn't help being suspicious when he heard the words.

"His teammates are gone, but he doesn't want to talk about what happened. Do you think there is something wrong with him? I thought so before, but he spends more than half of his time in the tavern, and the rest of the time he is not in the tavern. Basking in the sun by the side of the road is to carry some things for the people in the city with a little strength."

"Although his temper has become difficult to get along with, he has never really fought with anyone. He seems to be afraid of being alone, and he has to sleep in guarded places at night, or those pubs that are open all night. So he is considered a problem. , and have no time to do anything. Another strange thing is that I become very afraid of water and dare not approach the seaside at all.”

It seems that Alice has also been paying attention to this Gigles these days, and has a clear understanding of the situation.

After hearing this, Mo Bei could only let out a soft sigh.

Some people, after the team is disabled, will regroup with other people who have encountered the same experience, and with the belief of revenge, they will firmly walk on the road of fighting against the power of hell.

But it is inevitable that some people will be devastated, as if they have lost all their courage.

The Mage Guild and Mo Bei met Zhuo Genan.

"Where did Elder Kane go?" Mo Bei asked.

"Going out of town, didn't tell me much, but it's all right, that old guy always does." Drognan stopped writing, stood up and twisted his bucket waist.

"We found a team, which should be directly related to the disappearance case." Mo Bei threw out the four bodies, and told about Elise, his temptation and the reactions of the four people.

Drognan looked at the corpse on the ground and was silent for a moment.

"I just changed the carpet..."
