Chapter 193 Strange Guys

The tavern of the Temple of Joy is brightly lit and bustling every night. Many clergymen and believers will choose to spend a crimson night here.However, during the day, the tavern was deserted. There were rarely two or three customers in a day. Sometimes the tavern owner would not even open the door and would rest until night.

But today is an exception. Today, the dozen or so tables in the tavern hall are half full.

There were actually only six people here, but everyone occupied a separate table, making it look like it was almost full.

Each of the six people was carrying a weapon, and some even carried more than one. Even those wearing robes were no exception. In addition to the weapons, the various armors on their bodies were also particularly conspicuous, and there were also those who looked around them. It was a very heavy backpack. If nothing else happened, everyone was ready to travel.

Not only did they not sit together, but there was no communication between the six of them, and there was almost no eye contact. Even if their eyes accidentally bumped into each other, those with a better attitude would nod in greeting, and those with a bad attitude would just turn their heads and ignore the existence of each other.

Apart from the strange guests, there was no one else in the lobby of the tavern, and even the owner and waiters didn't know where to wander, and they didn't know how they could leave the tavern to these weird guys with confidence.

In fact, the people in the tavern don't care at all. Formal fighting is strictly prohibited in the temples. This is an iron law set by the gods. No one dares to violate it easily. No matter how tense the atmosphere between these guests is, they will not start fighting, let alone spread. In the store, the boss is still very relieved.

And the people in the tavern know that even if there are no rules that strictly prohibit fighting, they can't fight. Although these guys don't know each other, they are all employed by the same person. The alienation is only due to the natural repulsion between strong men, and there is nothing malicious. .

Silence spread, the sound of rubbing the wine glass and the table, the sound of pouring wine, and the sound of shaking the wine in the bottle, were very clear in the silent tavern.

"Click", the door opened again, and six people looked over at the same time. Facing everyone's gaze, the priest in black robe slowly walked in, and a girl about 20 years old huddled behind him and followed closely. , as if he was afraid that if he took a step slower, he would be exposed to everyone's sight.

Of course, those who came in were Shuer and Safu. They rushed over after reaching an agreement early in the morning. It seemed that they were in time, at least they were not late.

Drawing a circle with his fingers on his chest, Xiuer bowed slightly in front of the six people, and everyone looked away as if losing interest, but Xiuer could feel it, although he no longer paid attention, the six people still shared a part Focus on yourself and Sapphire behind you.

"This way." After looking around, Shuer took Safu and sat in a corner. He thoughtfully blocked Safu inside, replacing the role of the book in Safu's arms.

From an angle that Shuer couldn't see, Saff wrinkled her nose in a mischievous way and made a face at him. Then she sneakily poked her head out from behind him and silently observed the weird people in the tavern.

Wearing a red mage robe and long red curly hair, the gorgeous human woman held her chin up and showed a lazy expression.Two skeletons stood guard on both sides like loyal followers. One was gently shaking the folding fan for her, and the other was filling her wine glass.

"Well, this must be a necromancer, and not very normal." Saff made an accurate judgment in her mind, "At least a normal necromancer would not use his mental power to command skeletons to do such boring things."

With white wings, a noble temperament, and a common travel outfit, it goes without saying that he is a winged explorer. There is no shortage of guys in the winged tribe who don't know what stability is.However, could the strange glove on her desk be a rare magic weapon, the kind of weapon that can directly construct its own magic power into specific magic and emit it?If it is really a magic weapon, then this winged man is a rare combat magic scholar recorded in the book.

Looking at the next one, Safu suddenly withdrew his gaze. This man's eyes were so fierce.

It was a man who wrapped himself in tights and covered his face. His figure was thin, his fingers were shaking nervously, two daggers were hung on his waist, and two were tied on his legs. His expression and dress already showed that he was a man. Human thieves.The thief's eyes were very strange. He was full of suspicion when he looked at anything, whether it was a person or an object. Maybe it was just his habit. Otherwise, Saf really couldn't explain why someone would look at the table legs and be suspicious.

The fourth one is also human, but different from everyone else.

Although it is summer, it would be too exaggerated to show off in just a pair of shorts.This man had bronze-colored skin, with bulging muscles, and a metallic cyan sheen on his skin. There were two curved scimitars hanging on his waist.Coincidentally, Saff had seen similar people when she was a child. They were scimitar warriors from the western wilderness. Most of them believed in Kaia, the Earth Mother. They could not use any magic, but their skin had super strong magic defense.According to records, they are the descendants of the pioneers who went deep into the western wilderness during the pioneering era. However, after nearly ten thousand years of reproduction, they have become obviously different from the humans in the east.

The fifth man...well, that wasn't a man, but an orc.Orcs are a very interesting race. Their humanoid bodies have a lot of beast characteristics.According to different types of beasts, orcs are also divided into many races, and they live in racial and tribal units.

The distribution range in Pavatiga is no smaller than that of humans, jungles, grasslands, mountains, plains, and orc tribes can be seen everywhere.Orcs and humans, the two races live in a similar environment, have similar reproductive capabilities, and have similar combat effectiveness, so conflicts between them are inevitable.Since the later period of the pioneering era, the war between orcs and humans has never stopped. The blood flowed more and more, and the hatred became deeper. The vicious circle was barely terminated until the era of the temples.

However, even so, small-scale wars based on countries and territories continue to break out between the two races. They are not wars of faith or racial wars. The gods cannot intervene to stop them. They can only allow the two sides to fight and cooperate. Just pretend not to see it and treat it as a more intense competition that can kill people.

The Emerald Empire where Saff is located has a deep conflict with the orc tribe in the northern steppe, so she has had a deep prejudice against orcs since she was a child. Although she put aside her prejudice when she grew up, whenever she saw orcs, she would inevitably still feel... It will be a little awkward.

However, it is undeniable that the orcs are very powerful.Their bodies are stronger than humans, and coupled with the bonuses brought by beast characteristics such as sharp claws or rapidity, in one-on-one battles of the same level, humans often lose more than they win.

Tiger orcs like the one in the tavern are considered a powerful race among orcs. They often have stronger combat power than other orcs and should not be underestimated.

As for the last one, with long black hair, light green skin, tall and slender figure, and wooden scales made of special wood, there is no doubt that this is the wood elf who walked out of the forest.It is said that wood elves are all born hunters. Even young children can survive in dangerous jungles...

"It's not a wood elf." Shuer's voice suddenly rang in Sav's ears, "Look carefully at her scales and pay attention to her skirt..."

Skirt?Saff looked at the other person's waist. Is there anything wrong? It's normal.No, there is indeed a problem. The front hem of the skirt armor is normal and hangs down to the knees, but the back hem is much longer than the front hem, dragging all the way to the ankles. Moreover, the back hem is obviously folded at the waist, and the actual length is wider and wider than it looks. long.Understand, this is the forest elf's special skirt and armor, used to cover the deer's body after turning into a deer form. This person is not a wood elf, but a forest elf who lives in symbiosis with the wood elf.

"That's right, it's Lin Jing." Xiu'er's voice was very gentle. "Listen more, watch more, and observe more. The truth is often hidden in the details. It depends on whether you can discover it. Whether you are doing things or taking risks, this principle is the same. Be applicable."

You guessed what I was thinking again!This was Saff who had already gotten over the hurt of the morning. She glared at Shuer secretly with her mouth bulging, but then nodded.Well, you are right, I will pay attention to it in the future.

Whether he heard the two whispering or sensed their gazes, the black-haired Lin Jing suddenly turned around and winked at the two.

Seeing Lin Jing's gaze, Xiuer couldn't help but be stunned.

In the two years since he came to Parvatiga, he has met forest spirits wandering around several times, but they were all far away and he could not observe them carefully. Today was the first time he observed the eyes of forest spirits up close.

Cunning, smart, and full of curiosity about everything. Hidden in the exuberant vitality is untamable wildness and unruliness. It is the wildness that belongs to the wilderness and forest. Compared with her eyes, the eyes of most human beings are simply like death. The fish were lifeless.That's right, only such eyes are worthy of the energetic race of Lin Jing.

Realizing that Xiu'er was staring at him, the black-haired forest spirit blinked, licked her lips and slowly opened the bifurcation on the side of her skirt, revealing her white and smooth calves.As she moved, the eyes of Shuer and Safu opened wider and wider. Safu was surprised, but why Shuer was like this was indescribable.

The skirt was lifted up bit by bit, and it was about to reach the thigh. However, in the next moment, the calf, which was crystal white and tender, round and slender, and attracted endless reverie, suddenly turned into an ugly tree root with rough, dry skin and crisscrossing ravines, full of Full of expectations were severely shattered, and the gap from heaven to hell was enough to make every man cry out in despair.

Xiuer didn't wail, but he couldn't help but roll his eyes. He had long heard about the special features of the Lin Jing race. When he saw it today, it was more terrifying than the rumors said.

"Hee", seemingly very satisfied with his prank, the black-haired Lin Jing smiled sweetly, his smile full of pride.

However, Xiul couldn't care less about arguing with the forest elf now, because footsteps had already sounded from the stairs, and a female mountain elf dressed as a mage was walking down the stairs accompanied by two old human mages.
