dark moon

Chapter 362

The closed mountain life lacks entertainment, so that the residents in the mountains live a regular life and are used to resting early. Although the sky is not completely dark, there are not many locals left in the tavern. These simple mountain people are interested They were eagerly scrambling for the few remaining food, bursting into laughter.

Among a group of mountain folks, the most conspicuous one is a woman wearing coarse clothes standing by the pot, wielding a shovel and a spoon, she looks quite aggressive at first glance, poor townspeople keep being hit by big iron spoons However, although the words in their mouths were fierce, the townspeople around the pot still got a large bowl of stewed boar pork, and ran to the side to swallow it with satisfaction.

This is Serena, the owner of the tavern. She is the only outsider who has moved to the town in the past ten years. She is not only one of the few warriors in the town, but also the one who introduced commercial facilities such as the tavern to the town. The biggest contributor.Soon after she moved here, there were fewer and fewer families cooking at home in the town. Dinner time became the most lively time in the town. Every family was used to gathering in the pub for dinner in the evening, drinking heavily, talking and laughing loudly. Have a nice evening.

No wonder the middle-aged hunter said before that no one can bear to live without this tavern. It’s not just the problem of wine. Some townspeople exaggeratedly said that if Serena’s tavern was closed, it is estimated that more than half of the town would starve to death. people.

"Hahaha, let me tell you, I was in bad shape yesterday, but the dwarf is actually very courageous." Before she could say hello to Selena, the dwarf's thunderous voice came into her ears, "And , I was fine yesterday, at least I came here, if it were our captain, I would still be crying and washing my pants, hahahaha."

Looking around, I saw a familiar figure sitting in the middle of a group of townspeople. Wine glasses had already filled half the table. The dwarf’s cherished beard was soaked with wine and became wet, but he didn’t even notice it. He excitedly raised the wine glass and shouted loudly. Talking and laughing, beside him, the halfling was lying on the table boredly, looking at the surrounding townspeople with disgust. These guys didn't even take a single coin with them when they went out, making even the greatest thief unable to steal even if they wanted to. , simply so disappointing.

In a dark corner of the tavern, the mountain elf mage was hiding alone in the shadows. Her habitual expressionless face made it difficult to tell how she was feeling. However, her cold eyes were always fixed on the busy Serena. Never left for a moment.

"Who, who dares to attack the dwarf uncle secretly?" After secretly speaking ill of the captain, Moback felt proud that he had been hit hard on the head several times. You bastard, you must be too brave, you actually hit this uncle. The dwarf Mobak slapped the table and stood up suddenly, then stepped aside and said with a flattering smile, "Hahaha, captain, you are here, take a seat, you have a seat, I have already ordered dinner for you, haha Haha, you're welcome, this is what I should do. What? What were you talking about just now? Hahaha, it's nothing, I'm just telling my new friends adventure stories, hahahaha."

Xiure sneered and ignored this bastard who was talking nonsense. He just took the seat he gave up and waved to Serena who looked over with a smile: "Long time no see, Serena."

The moment she saw Xiure, Serena's face turned pale for a moment, but she quickly hid it, not even looking at Xiure, and continued to deal with the noisy locals.

Moria next to her snickered. She was also present at the time, so she naturally knew what happened at that time.

The group of people passed by here that time and also stayed in Serena's tavern. During the day, they heard complaints from people in the town that the roar of wild beasts would be heard nearby at night every now and then, making everyone unable to sleep well. , the time is almost here, maybe I can hear it again tonight.

Everyone didn't think much about it at first, but who knew that they heard the roar of a wild beast that night, and it was not far away, as if it was nearby.These high-level warriors were not as scared as the townspeople, and they discovered that in the back kitchen of the tavern, a beast-like werewolf was lying on the ground, devouring the corpse of a prey alive.

Both sides were stunned for a moment, staring at each other blankly, not knowing what to do.

Serena will always remember that day.

Alienation is a very rare and troublesome genetic disease. There is no cure. It may lie dormant for a lifetime and never show up. But once it starts to show up, every full moon night, you will be tortured by unbearable hunger and must eat. It takes a lot of flesh and blood to relieve it.Because the appearance will mutate during the attack, and they have to eat raw flesh and blood like wild beasts, and some patients living in the city cannot afford to eat a large amount once a month and attack civilians secretly, so alienation is very common in Parvatiga. Easily misunderstood.

Serena has been troubled by alienation since she was a child. She was found several times and had to move. Twice she was attacked and escaped from her home. Finally, she had to move to Saint Osor, which is isolated from the world and mainly focused on hunting. industry town.Since the residences here are scattered, especially the mountain peak where she is located, there are only three or four households, and they moved to other peaks a few years after the tavern opened, giving her the entire top of the mountain to use, so she has a lot of space. He could hide and eat secretly during an attack, so that he kept the secret well hidden for more than ten years until that day when he was exposed by these troublesome mercenaries.

what to do?Do you want to silence yourself?But I don't know how to attack humans at all.However, if they don't attack them, once they spread the word, the townspeople will not tolerate a wild beast living next to them, and they don't want to leave here.

Just when Serena was at a loss, this hateful priest, this bastard priest, actually walked up to her, condescending and arrogant, and with a holy look on his face, he began to criticize her...eating?
"Praise the Holy Spirit, lost child, you are wrong. As intelligent creatures, what is the biggest difference between us and wild beasts? Shut up, you guys, it's not that you can cheat money, no, no, no, it's not that you can spread faith, we and The biggest difference between beasts is that we understand etiquette. It’s okay to be hungry, and eating is okay, but no matter how hungry you are, you have to cook it before eating it. Well, if your disease can’t be cooked and eaten, then you should Cut the meat and put it on a plate, place exquisite vegetable carvings next to it, then light candles and sit in front of the table to eat elegantly. How can you lie down on the ground and gnaw? And the most intolerable thing, you can just eat Eat, why are you making such a loud noise, wild child, you are a beautiful lady. Have you ever seen any lady who made such a noise that the people around her could not sleep while eating? And you actually drooled while eating. , Lord, bless this rude woman, you can't even bear to prepare a clean napkin, Holy Spirit, I can't bear to see it."

ha?Is this what you focus on?Is it because I didn’t wear a napkin while eating?I'm really sorry for the drool on my teeth.However, before Serena could understand what Seul said, another damn knight jumped out and actually said that the tail and ears were so cute, and being covered in fur was so exciting. She must do it once, otherwise she would regret it for the rest of her life.

So, Selina, who was filled with shame and anger, finally broke out and chased her all the way from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain. She made the damn knight run dozens of kilometers for several hours, and she didn't return panting until it was almost dawn the next day. Tavern.

As a result, when Serena returned to the tavern in fear the next day, she found that this group of people acted as if nothing happened last night and did not mention her xenophobia at all. According to Shuer's private words, you have not lost your mind and cannibalism. , It’s just eating raw meat, I can’t just beat you up on the grounds that you look ugly.

What she said made sense, and Serena simply couldn't refute it, so she was very moved and drove the group of people away.

How dare you call me unladylike?How dare you say that I look ugly when I eat?Get out of here!
Well, actually they were supposed to leave the next day.

She thought they would never meet again in the future, but she didn't expect to meet again less than three years later. The memory has not faded yet. Serena really didn't know how to treat this annoying priest, so she simply ignored him. It's gone.

Scratching his head with a bored look on his face, Shuuer did not interrupt Serena's work and smiled at Serena's back. Amidst the regretful protests of the surrounding townspeople, he grabbed Moback and Makaj who didn't know why. Ren left the bar of the pub and hid in a corner like Mia.

"Stop staring at people like that." Xiuer kicked the two idiots in the back to make them calm down. "Look, the atmosphere in the village has not changed in the past few years. Obviously nothing bad has happened. In fact, It can be seen from her attitude that she really likes this town and does not want to hurt anyone even if she is alienated. In this case, why bother to affect her normal life."

"I'm not as open-minded as you are. The aliens are all beasts, so you have to keep an eye on them." Mia sneered, "The reason why the atmosphere hasn't changed is because she hasn't been exposed yet. After she is exposed, you can see if she can still Stay here."

"Tsk, tsk, you dishonest mountain elf." Shuer smiled so hard, "Actually, I'm still worried that her identity will be exposed and she won't be able to stay. Ha, you're overthinking."

"Eh? Hasn't her identity been exposed?" Moria tilted her head blankly and asked, "When the bishop came to us specifically to complain about the noisy beasts, I thought he already knew Serena's identity. I couldn't tell her the truth directly, so I reminded her through us. And after ten years of chewing raw meat, no matter how stupid the townspeople are, they should have realized that something was wrong. It turns out that I thought too much. Her identity It’s not exposed at all.”

"A deer that only eats grass and doesn't talk is a good deer." Mia's face froze and she turned her head away, not bothering to pay attention to these two guys who cooperated tacitly.

"Where's Miredi?" Shuer changed the subject thoughtfully, "Aren't you here yet?"

"Retouching makeup."

"Huh?" The unexpected answer was, "What did you do just now that makes her need to touch up her makeup now?"

"Don't you think it's a pity that the fireball didn't hit you just now?" A lazy voice came from behind, "If it's a pity, how about I do it this time? I will give you a memory you will never forget."

　Hahahaha, I used the wrong version. The first version set Osor as the God of the Valley, but due to some other problems, it was changed to the God of Echoes when the version was finalized. I forgot it when I was typing yesterday, but it has been changed now. coming.

　　The temple of the God of the Valley is on the top of the mountain, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
