The town is still lively and noisy with people coming and going.

But today, a small town with a diverse population seemed to welcome three strange tourists?

The three of them came slowly in a carriage. Judging from the traces on the carriage, they had experienced a lot of travel. Judging from their outfits, they did not look like adventurers. After all, adventurers would not travel in such a luxurious carriage.

But they don't look like aristocrats, because aristocrats don't travel with only three people. The aristocratic gentlemen who care about their lives can't wait to arrange a reinforced company of mercenaries to protect themselves!

And with their curious eyes and well-dressed outfits, the three of them really looked like tourists here.

"Where is this?"

A petite figure wearing a dark red mage robe and a hood said. Judging from the voice, this should be a young girl.

"I don't know the place either. Where is this?"

Then, a strange man in modern attire emerged from the carriage. He stuck out his head and looked at the nearby town with curious eyes, and asked the strong man driving the carriage.

"This place? It should be close to the Dark Mountains, right? It's the territory of three old guys."

The driver who drove the carriage had black hair and a tough face, but he looked a bit naive. He raised his head and looked towards the town. Strictly speaking, he looked at the continuous dark mountains behind the town.

"Those three old guys? Xiaobai, have you been here before?"

The girl wearing a mage's hood poked her head out curiously, revealing a delicate and delicate face. It was Ariel, the eldest lady of the Melos family.

The identities of the other two people are also easy to determine. They are the pale and human-shaped black dragon Xiaobai who were traveling with them.

"A snake, a monkey, and a wolf. The last time we met was more than two hundred years ago. I don't know what they are like now."

Heilong Xiaobai's tone was a bit sad, which was a bit inconsistent with his naive temperament.

After getting along along the way, Xiaobai has readily accepted the identity of Ariel as his new teammate. Of course, a large part of the reason is because the girl will be the future chef of the team and his future food father.

"??What do you mean? Why don't I quite understand?"

But it was obvious that even Black Dragon Xiaobai's unabashed answer sounded a little puzzling to Ariel.

Knowing the identity of Xiaobai and Black Dragon, Bai Wan can understand what he meant by the three old guys. Those who can bear the title of Xiaobai are probably at least three legendary monsters.

He ignored the confused Ariel, who had now arrived in the town. There were so many people around that it was inconvenient to say more, so he directly interrupted what she wanted to ask.

"Okay, then our next goal is to go to the Dark Mountains to meet your three old friends. But first, let's replenish some daily necessities in the town."

…

This small town is located on the edge of the Dark Mountains. It has no special name, it is called Adventure Town. It looks very simple, with thick wooden spikes randomly surrounding it.

This is due to the influence of geographical location. Every time the monsters in the Dark Mountains reach the growth month, there will be a phenomenon similar to a beast tide due to various factors such as **.

Therefore, the small town at the foot of the mountain naturally became the main target of the beast tide. But cunning humans would not go head-to-head with the beast tide, so they simply simplified everything in the construction of this town.

Once an irresistible disaster occurs, you can simply abandon the town and flee. Then wait for the beast tide to subside, or you can easily rebuild the town after the disaster has passed.

In the small town, you can probably see a few wooden buildings here and there. Most of them are simple living quarters such as tents made of animal skins.

Although the town is simple, there is a lot of traffic here. People come and go, and there is a mixture of fish and dragons. It is also because it is close to the Dark Mountains, where various magical herbs, Warcraft materials, special ores and other resources can be found.

produce.

For humans, except for the occasional outbreak of beast tides, this place is a treasure mountain. Various resources are continuously mined from it, which naturally attracts many people who come here for profit.

This can be said to be a paradise for adventurers. For those who pursue exciting adventures and gold coins, as long as they return alive from a trip to the Dark Mountains, they can always gain a lot.

“This place is so small.”

Ariel, who had lived in a big city like Melos since she was a child, felt a little surprised and fresh when looking at this simple adventure town.

"This is actually what most small towns are like. Do you think there are big cities like yours everywhere?"

Bai Bai rolled his eyes and complained about the ignorance of a certain young lady.

"However, this town is indeed small. It is a temporary supply and rest place established by some merchants and adventurers. It is not surprising that it is a bit crude."

Having seen so many steel jungles and high-rise buildings in the modern world, Bai Bai couldn't even appreciate the former Melos City, let alone the simple town in front of him?

"How long are we going to be here?"

Ariel asked.

"Let's take a day. Rest for a day to purchase some necessities, and then enter the Dark Mountains."

"Are we really going to the Dark Mountains? Isn't that a forbidden land for humans?"

Ariel is still a little confused about her next destination.

"There are only three legendary monsters inside. It's not a forbidden area."

Wan Wan said nonchalantly. As for the three legendary monsters Wan Wan mentioned, it would be difficult for normal people not to associate them with the three old guys that Xiao Bai mentioned before.

Ariel, who was originally quick-thinking, was no exception. The longer she spent with Wanwan and his companions, the more she felt that they were not simple.

The girl stared at him deeply, but in the end she did not choose to delve deeper into this point. Instead, she asked about her original purpose.

"But I still have to find Harold. If you run into the mountains like this, when can I find him?"

"Why are you so anxious? He won't die suddenly. If you are lucky enough to walk around, you will run into him sooner or later."

He said calmly with a pale expression, and his attitude was very casual.

Ariel was a little helpless and had no choice but to deal with Bai Bai's Buddhist attitude. She firmed up her thoughts and said to Bai Bai again.

"No, I still want to find him as soon as possible. After all, this is the main purpose of my coming out."

"It makes it seem like you can find him by saying this."

Bai Bai rolled his eyes and said speechlessly.

"So I want to ask you for a favor. You have been traveling all year round, so you must know how to find him more easily."

Ariel thought of the pale mystery and had a malicious idea of ​​him.

What she got in return was a pale and calm shake of the head. Ariel thought he was unwilling. She quickly put her hands together and begged with wide eyes.

"Please, I really want to find him and ask him clearly."

"It's useless for you to be cute. I'm too lazy to look for him now. And I guess he doesn't want you to find him now."

Bai Bai seemed to have thought of something, and a mysterious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Don't want me to find him? You mean he is avoiding me? That seems right. After all, he has just broken off the engagement, so he will definitely be avoiding me and doesn't want me to find him."

Ariel looked stunned and understood what Bai meant.

"Almost, but I'm afraid it's not that simple. I advise you to be mentally prepared when the time comes."

Bai Bai said with deep meaning.

Unfortunately, Ariel obviously understood it wrong again.

"Don't worry, no matter what the reason is for him to break off the engagement, I am mentally prepared. As long as we know the reason, I believe we can find a solution together?"

"Including that he likes men?"

But the pale words that followed made Ariel's expression froze, and she had the urge to swallow what she just said.

In the end, he could only give Bai Bai an elbow angrily and said in disgust.

"That's all the nonsense you think about."

"You'd better be mentally prepared, the truth may be even harder to accept than this."

Wanwan smiled and shook his head, seemingly casually but with deep meaning.

"It's not hard for him to accept that he likes men."

Ariel murmured in a low voice, feeling that her thoughts had become strange. She must be pale and evil, and yes, it was all his fault.

Feeling that the girl was frantically blaming him, the corners of his pale mouth twitched slightly, and he finally said helplessly.

"I didn't lead you into corruption."

"If you don't tell me this, how can I have this concept? Who do you blame if you don't blame me? By the way, what is rot?"

Ariel said with some curiosity, some speculation in her heart, as if she had opened the door to a new world?

"Hey, hey, I'm not to blame for this. Isn't it also the result of you, the overfed nobles, who like men?"

Wanwan tried to shirk the blame and save the child.

"Please wake up."

"How could it be possible? We nobles are not as dirty as you say!"

When the eldest lady heard what he said, she immediately retorted. It's just that the innocent girl didn't understand that some things didn't exist, just because she simply didn't know.

"Okay, don't make things worse."

Baiwan rolled his eyes and quickly brought back the distant topic. He looked at the simple and chaotic scene of the adventure town around him and still said.

"Actually, you don't need to be in a hurry to find your Harold. You will meet him naturally when you are supposed to see him."

After saying that, he didn't give the girl a chance to ask any more questions, and got out of the carriage. The girl was left alone, frowning as she pondered his words.

In this adventure town where people are mixed, there are all kinds of people. From noble children who come here to gain gilding experience, to wanted criminals who come here to escape pursuit.
