196, Ella Town 19(1/2)
The four of them ran wildly along the streets of the town with a bunch of monsters again.
The players walking in the thick fog heard the movement here and avoided it alertly. They hid around the corner and watched the four people run by with a string of monsters, secretly breathing a sigh of relief.
Especially those Western players, with yesterday's experience, they intuition that it might have done something by those Eastern players. As a result, it turned out that it was them.
Someone asked in wonder: "What exactly are these people doing? Why are they provoking so many monsters again?"
Odinson looked at the direction where the monster disappeared, recalling what Gu Jiu said, and realized something.
Before being chased by monsters until they were about to die, the thick fog finally dissipated.
Chai Yingying and Jiang could no longer maintain their image and collapsed on the ground to lift the body, unable to even say anything complained.
Today they were chased by monsters longer than yesterday. It is conceivable that they were chased to run longer. Even if the physical strength and endurance of B-level players are good, they can't bear it.
Facing the accusing eyes of the two, Gu Jiu said: "You are not exercising enough."
Two: "..." Who is so perverted like you two?
Gu Jiu and Lu Ji sat aside, waiting patiently for the two of them to recover.
Lu Ji took out a filling of milk to rehydrate his girlfriend, stared at her white and rosy face. The sprint just now made her breathing a little disordered, and sweat beads slid down from her forehead and dripped along her chin onto her clothes.
His eyes followed the beads of sweat, and he couldn't help but think of her when she was sweating on the bed, and under the dim light, it was so beautiful.
"Aji, what are you thinking?"
Gu Jiu looked at his boyfriend with a smile and found that his pale face suddenly turned red. He didn't know that he thought it was caused by the running just now.
Lu Ji hurriedly took a tissue to wipe her sweat, not daring to look at her.
After almost the rest, Gu Jiu asked Chai Yingying and the others to act on their own and pulled Lu Ji away.
The two came to Lisser Street.
"Sister Adventurer."
Little Ella lay at the window, and a thin little hand stretched out from the crack of the window and waved at them. As they approached, they opened the door to greet them.
Little Ella looked at them with great pleasure, "Sister Adventurer, lunch is ready, come in quickly."
After receiving the invitation from the owner, Gu Jiu and the others stepped into the house.
Little Ella tried hard to carry a relatively small table, but it was still a bit heavy for the thin seven or eight-year-old child. Lu Ji reached out to take it and put it not far from the door. Then he saw Little Ella bringing four more chairs over.
The number of lunches today is four.
"Sister Adventurer, you guys sit first, I'll go in for lunch." Little Ella welcomed them warmly.
Gu Jiu responded with a smile, watched Little Aila enter the kitchen, and then raised her foot toward the innermost room.
Lu Ji walked slowly, his eyes wandering around the dimly lit room.
The room seemed messy, but in fact it was in order. Many things were scattered in a mess, as if they were deliberately covering something. There was a strange smell floating in the air, like a stagnant breath that had been closed for too long, but if you carefully distinguish it, you could feel the smell that seemed to be there or not.
The taste is very similar to the ones coming from the counter in the Witch Tavern.
On the low cabinet against the wall, there was a black piece of stuffed rattan basket, which was exactly the same as the magic item that Old Joseph carefully wiped.
Lu Ji's gaze swept across casually and followed Gu Jiu into the room where Little Ella's grandmother lived.
The old lady sat beside the bed and looked over quietly.
Her illness has been cured and she looks very in good spirits. She is wearing a very clean long dress, her hair is neatly combed behind her head, and her body is straight, looking like a particular old man.
She was not surprised to see the two.
Gu Jiu lit the oil lamp and said, "Old lady, although this little darkness does not affect your vision, Little Ella is still young, you should consider it for her."
The old lady didn't say anything.
Gu Jiu smiled, as if he didn't care about this cold treatment, and continued, "Or Little Ella is like you, are you all witches?"
"What are you talking nonsense?" The old lady finally spoke, but her voice was harshly reprimanded.
Gu Jiu looked at her with a smile. The gloomy eyes behind the lens were clear. The old lady was soon defeated, her voice a little hoarse, "When did you find out?"
"I discovered it on the first day." Her voice was gentle, "The smell in this room is very similar to the Witch Tavern."
After becoming a B-level player, her five senses became more and more sensitive. Even when she deliberately used them, she could always detect special auras that ordinary people could not perceive.
Whether it is the Witch Tavern or this house, their atmosphere is the same.
So when Little Ella lay behind the window peeking at them, she tempted Little Ella with food, and then used medicine to lure Little Ella to invite them to enter the house.
The house in Ella town is not invited by the owner, and outsiders cannot come in at will. This is the shelter of magic.
The Witch Tavern is undoubtedly the most special place in Ella town.
After Odinson's investigation last night, he determined the real situation of the Witch Tavern, and then a house with the same atmosphere as the Witch Tavern will naturally be included in the object of suspicion.
From the time he saw Xiao Aila, Gu Jiu began to test.
Whether it is Little Ella's eyes are like mist grass, or she deliberately lights the lights, or even being invited into the house twice, it is a test.
The result did not disappoint her expectations.
In addition to the smell of the house is very similar to that of the tavern, there are also things in the house, and there are many magical items here.
Of course, Gu Jiu is not like a magic doll. He can tell at a glance which magical items are magical items, but who has awakened the spiritual power in her body is the body of the Heavenly Demon. The Heavenly Demon's bloodline is very domineering. Even if she doesn't understand magic, magic is also a kind of power. The breath of magic made her sense of it all at once.
So she could sense the abnormality of those magic items.
The old lady was stunned. Unexpectedly, the reason for the exposure was this. She showed an incredible look on her face and looked at Gu Jiu with a look of monsters.
This reason sounds unreliable. How can a normal person distinguish it from his breath?
Gu Jiu did not explain that after all, players are different from those adventurers, and she is also different from those players.
She smiled and said, "Ms. Ella, I don't know what to call you?"
"I am the witch Ella you are looking for." The old lady said coldly.
Gu Jiu smiled, "Old lady, we haven't told you that we are looking for the witch Ella, why did you just tell me?"
The only person who knew they were looking for the witch Ella was the only tavern owner. When players asked the tavern owner about the tavern, they more or less revealed their purpose. As long as old Joseph was not stupid, they could always guess it.
The old lady's eyes showed a sarcastic look, as if she was mocking her hypocrisy. Since she had guessed it, why bother to disguise it again?
At this time, the sound of tiny footsteps came, and Little Ella's cute little face appeared at the door, saying happily: "Grandmother, Adventurer Sister, lunch is ready."
Gu Jiu and the old lady turned to look at her, with gentle expressions on their faces.
There is only one type of lunch prepared by Little Ella, which is a wild vegetable dumpling made of chopped wild vegetables and starch ground from the rhizomes of some plant, and it is not even steamed.
It is very hard and tastes bitter and absolutely not delicious.
This was the only food that Little Ella could take out to entertain guests. She looked at Gu Jiu and Lu Ji nervously, worried that they would dislike him. In fact, she also understood that these adventurers had delicious food. Compared with the buns Gu Jiu gave them, these were as difficult to eat.
To her surprise, the two of them ate without changing their faces.
"Although it's not delicious, it's carefully prepared by Little Ella and cannot be wasted." Gu Jiu said to the little girl with a smile.
Her voice was as gentle as water, and when her eyes were filled with eyes, it made people feel that she was treated with gentleness. The seven or eight-year-old girl could not withstand this offensive and soon fell into trouble.
Her face turned red with joy, and she couldn't speak out.
Gu Jiu and Lu Ji finished a dumpling with face, and the eldest lady said she would not eat a second one.
Although Little Ella was a little disappointed, she was still very happy.
After lunch, Gu Jiu and Lu Ji stood up and left.
Little Ella said reluctantly: "Sister Adventurer, will you come here tomorrow?"
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "No."
Little Ella widened her eyes, her face showed a look of fear, and she said uneasy: "Yes, is it because of the monster outside? Will you be eaten by the monster?"
She still smiled and said with certainty: "No." Before the little girl was happy, she asked again, "Little Ella, are you afraid of those monsters?"
Little Ella nodded, her face showing anxiety and fear, "The monster is terrible and has eaten a lot of people."
Gu Jiu nodded and echoed: "Yes, they are terrible!"
The old lady sat in the shadows, looking at them with gloomy eyes. Unfortunately, the little girl was still young and did not notice the changes in her grandmother. Gu Jiu and Lu Ji realized that the old lady was in a bad mood and did not take it to heart.
After leaving Xiao Aila's house, Gu Jiu was too lazy to find out any news. The two of them walked around the town casually and enjoyed the scenery of the exotic town.
Until the time was almost the same, they returned to the tavern.
The tavern owner sat behind the counter to take care of the magical supplies as before, but when the players came in, he was not as careless as before, and his expression became solemn and alert to them.
Apparently he already knew that these players' actions last night must have discovered the secret of the tavern.
Odinson, Huo Ting and other in-depth players looked at Old Joseph calmly, sat in the tavern on the first floor with great understanding, chatting casually with their companions.
After the group of adventurers came down from the upper floors, the players took out their drinks and food to entertain them.
When it was dark, the group of adventurers drank again, and Zui Xun was lying on the table, talking nonsense, and only the players were still awake.
Old Joseph looked here from time to time, his eyes very cold.
Other uninformed players inexplicably felt that something would happen tonight, so they sat by the side silently, not daring to go upstairs to rest.
To be continued...
