    Business in the tavern is booming. It seems that the recently discovered "relics" have brought a large number of strangers to this place. Of course, the place where these strangers gather the most is the local tavern in front of you.  Ellu and I finally found two empty seats against the wall, but there was already someone on the other side of the table, a middle-aged man, and sitting next to him was a thin figure hidden in a black hooded robe.

    "You are also looking for ruins?" The middle-aged man across the table heard Elu telling stories about the big forest and the expedition team with great interest, so he looked at me curiously.

    I looked up at the other person. He was a strong man who looked to be in his forties. He had a dark complexion and strong muscles. He had short black hair, a square face, well-defined eyebrows, and a very reliable face.  He was wearing clothes that were very different from the short-sleeved robes worn by the locals. They looked like short-sleeved training clothes. The gray-black clothes were a little old, but they looked very clean. The clothes were tight around the opponent's body.  In terms of muscles, it seems a bit out of place - but it does show off the opponent's strong figure.

    Next to this middle-aged macho man, there is a huge black sword that looks almost as tall as a man placed against the wall. Needless to say, it is also his weapon. So it is a warrior, which should be what Elu mentioned.  "Adventurer".

    "I'm a bit interested." I haven't fully understood the situation here. I don't know what the so-called ruins, local churches, and forest monsters (maybe they exist) mean, so I can only answer vaguely, hoping to get some insights from the other party's conversation.  More information, "I am a scholar who travels around. I am interested in strange things from all over the world. This time I came not for the ruins themselves, but for the stories."

    Let me first declare that I don¡¯t know much about the ruins, so as not to make the other party seem ignorant when discussing with me with great interest. As for the identity of this wandering scholar Hey, don¡¯t tell me, I find that I am becoming more and more accustomed to this kind of thing.  It¡¯s a lie. Being a scholar is definitely a good answer. Anyway, no matter where you show yourself to be unique, you can use ¡°I am a scholar¡± to fool you. After all, it is understandable that a scholar seems a little unreasonable.  Right, it's natural to stay at home for a long time or something

    Sandora's ball floated over and hit me on the back of the head: "That's it again, you can't think of something creative next time - it's okay to say that you are a novel writer and come out to collect ideas."

    I answered in my mind without changing my expression: "80% of those who write novels starve to death at home. How many of you have money to come out to collect stories?"

    The middle-aged man across the table was stunned for a moment, and then smiled cheerfully: "Ah ha, scholar, I really didn't notice it. The scholar I know is sitting at sixty or upward, and his beard is longer than his hair. I have never seen him before.  You are so young But you don't look like a person who fights and takes risks. You are quite bookish and can only do academic work. Hey, my name is Leon. I am an explorer the one who is more senior than an adventurer.  kind."

    It seems that the other person is an easy person to get along with. I smiled and bowed: "It's easy to talk to. Just call me Chen Jun."

    "Chen Jun? Is this your name?" Leon smacked his lips, as if he was surprised by this strange name. "It's popular for scholars to use pen names these days. By the way, let me introduce this quiet guy next to me, Qingye."  , my girlfriend. They are all from out of town. It¡¯s not easy to be away from home. There are many friends and many ways to go. Qingye, say hello to people. "

    The person sitting next to Leon was covered in a black hooded cloak. Previously, I could only judge by her body shape that she was a thin woman. Only then did she lift her hood, and I was surprised to find that she was a woman.  A beautiful elf with long light green hair!

    "Hello, I am Qingye, a trainee priest of the Lost Religion, and I came here for adventure with Leon."

    The elf woman greeted her somewhat cautiously, then pulled up her hood again to cover most of her face. Leon patted her shoulder gently and smiled at me: "Don't mind, she doesn't like to talk very much.  Studying scriptures all day long makes your brain go crazy."

    I smiled nonchalantly, and then chatted about a few nutritious daily topics. While collecting the customs and customs of this planet, I murmured in my heart: Lost God Religion?  The local sect gave itself such a name?  This doesn't sound very auspicious Could it be related to the end of civilization?

    But it¡¯s obviously inconvenient to ask this kind of thing rashly now. It¡¯s better to wait until you get to know more people and get to know this sect.  The little girl Ellu has been ignored by the adults since just now. No one even listened to her story. At this time, she finally became a little impatient. The child was impatient and became restless after a while: "Do you want to go grocery shopping?"  Shop? Do you want to go to the blacksmith shop? It¡¯s getting late. As soon as the sun sets between the gaps between the two mountains on the horizon, the day has passed! ContinueIs it too long?

    So I nodded.

    "Hurry up and apologize to this gentleman!" As expected, Ellu's mother immediately showed signs of going berserk, and judging from her expression, it was obvious that this was not the first time that a naughty child had caused trouble. The latter received a crackling lecture on the spot.  , but based on my many years of experience in dealing with naughty children, it is impossible for a naughty child like Ailu, who has reached the point of fooling people on the streets, to be educated in a short time, and the purpose of coming here is not to let the little girl suffer.  He was training, so he quickly smoothed things over: "Ahem, it's actually not much trouble, and she took me around the town for a long time. She is very dedicated as a guide. Without this little girl's help, I would be in the dark here."

    After thinking about it, I still didn¡¯t say anything about the map. It would be bad if the little girl got beaten.

    Ailu's mother saw that I had no intention of pursuing the matter, and looked at the sky outside before nodding: "It's definitely too late for you, a foreigner, to find a hotel at this time, so just stay here, anyway.  There are quite a few empty rooms, I'll go up and help you prepare a room in a moment. By the way, what does this child wantoh, it must be twenty copper coins, she knows this number."

    Me: "" I know my daughter better than my mother!

    "Can twenty coppers be used as accommodation fee?" I chuckled, "I just saw the prices here, they should be about the same."

    "Actually, the accommodation fee is nothing. We haven't done business for a long time, but it doesn't matter if you are willing to pay, I will prepare dinner for you, and you can pay for it," Ellu's mother smiled gently, although her face  Still feeling a sense of inexplicable fatigue, but still carrying a dignified and steady demeanor, she then pulled Elu towards the second floor, "Just wait here for a moment, I'll prepare the room.  Just please don¡¯t move around.¡±

    After Ellu and her mother slowly disappeared on the wooden stairs, I muttered to the invisible Sandora Ball: "He has a pretty good temperament, but he doesn't feel like a commoner."

    "I don't have any feelings about civilians and non-commoners," Sandora moved lightly towards the books that Ellu's mother had been reading before. She should have just looked at them out of curiosity, but suddenly made a surprised sound, "Huh? Arjun  Come and see this!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
