Night Raven Master

Chapter 146 The Strange Tavern (Part [-])
Fort Baron Susa.

In this not very tall castle, Baron Susha had already finished his meditation and entered a deep sleep.

The same is true for the residents in the small town. In the season when the normal temperature should be 15 degrees above zero, every day that is invaded by the harsh winter is much colder than the normal winter in the past.

If converted into degrees Celsius, it is minus 15 degrees.

And, this is just the beginning.

It is only less than ten days before the beginning of winter.

Old Huo De, who couldn't sleep, stood in front of his house. He looked back, and the darkness inside the door made him sigh.

This empty "home" made old Huode shake his head. His wife had passed away ten years ago, and his son had gone out to make a living, and he only came back from time to time.

According to the time, he should be back almost at this time.

However, Old Huo De didn't want him to come back now. After all, it was too dangerous to travel in the harsh winter.

If you are not careful, you will encounter a snowstorm.
"Snapped--"

He slapped himself on the face: "Damn old Hodder, how can you think of this, the child will be fine."

Then he wiped the leather jacket on his shoulders with his sore hand, and wiped off the snow that fell on his shoulders.

At this time, he couldn't help looking at the empty house on the other side of the yard not far from his home.

The house was completely empty, and he had been helping to clean it before, but after Sheridan came back a few years ago and sold the house to someone else, he never went to the house again.

That house was sold to a businessman in the small town of Susa.

But the businessman didn't intend to live here, but transformed it into a tavern, but because the location was too deserted, almost no one would go there to drink.

Only quiet drinkers head there.

If he remembered correctly, Baron Susha also went to that tavern to drink a few times?
That young baron is really a good man. Before the cold winter, he lowered a lot of taxes for the lords, and also lowered the prices of wood and fur. At first, he was a little worried that those merchants would take the opportunity to rob him of everything, but The baron has set up a "restricted purchase", and each family restricts purchases according to the number of people.

Although he didn't understand it well, he could see that it worked well.

A few scoundrels wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to do something, but it didn't take long for the sheriff to take him away.

Lord Baron is kind, but also terrifying.
The cost of crime in this world is too terrifying for ordinary people. Ordinary people are still very afraid of the laws in the territory. Under strong pressure, the rate of large-scale crimes is very low.

Crimes such as theft and fraud generally result in fines.

But in the event of death, the criminal will be thrown into the lord's dungeon, waiting to become the lord's experiment.

This kind of thing is already well known in this world.

Shaking his head, Old Huo De ignored the tavern standing quietly in the dark, and walked into the house. When he entered the house and just closed the door, he stumbled and fell to the ground for some reason , twisted to the waist again.

"what!!!"

When Old Hodder fell down and yelled, a figure outside the house couldn't help but paused. He glanced at the closed door, and then walked towards the tavern.

The tavern was also very quiet at this time, and there was no one here near four o'clock in the morning.

The tavern was empty and dark.

A bloody demonized crow landed in front of the window.

A red light flashed in the blood-colored eyes, and in the room, a group of shadows twisted and condensed into a shape similar to that of a human.

It looked like a human figure wrapped in a black robe, but his face was completely black, without complete facial features, only three holes similar to mouth and eyes.

Shadow Servant.

After the Shadow Servant was formed, he opened the window latch and brought in the blood crow. The window was simply closed without locking it again.

When the demonized crow was asked to investigate today, the demonized crow had a great reaction to this place, so he decided to come over to investigate.

The shadow servant's body was slightly deformed, wrapping the demonized crow's body in the shadow. At this moment, it looked like a birdman with a bird's head.

After adjusting the position slightly, the pair of blood-red crow eyes followed Yate's order and looked around.

The reaction of the demonized crow was very strong.

There's something here that makes it want to attack.

"What is it?" Art was a little confused, but the demonized crows couldn't explain exactly what caused such a reaction. Although they were very smart, they couldn't express it clearly.

Art only knows that the existence that makes him react like this is not an ordinary thing.

He looked around, then walked into the tavern.

The tavern is not too big, with a simple wooden bar and floor and walls, even in the dark, you can easily see the difference, the wooden bar looks relatively new.

Ten round tables are staggered in front of the bar, and wooden ottomans are pushed under the tables.

There are some different containers on the shelf behind the bar. I don’t know if they are filled with different wines. A covered wooden barrel is placed under the bar, which should have been opened.

The Shadow Servant can transmit information and speak, but it conveys his meaning mechanically, there is no way to manipulate it fluently, and the feedback information is also in the form of description-this is why Art needs to bring the Crow Servant when using the Shadow Servant s reason.

The way the crow servant transmits information is also described in a similar way. Only visual information can be directly transmitted to him.

The body formed by the shadow stepped on the wooden board without making a sound. This dark servant of the shadow walked around the tavern, letting the demonized crow confirm its position.

In the end, the demonized crow led him to the door—this should be the door leading to the kitchen?

Some doubts, Yate let the shadow servant push the door open.

It is indeed the back kitchen, where you can see a lot of cooking utensils. He paused for two seconds in the back kitchen. Under the instructions of the demonized crow, he approached a one-meter-square wooden board on the floor with a pull ring on it.

"The basement? The wine cellar?"

The word came to Art's mind when he saw Griphook.

The basement is basically a place for storing vegetables, pickling, and brewing products. It is quite common for a tavern to take out a basement as a wine cellar.

However. Then he discovered an embarrassing thing, that is, the door is very heavy, and the strength of this shadow servant is not enough to pull the ring and pull the door open.

call--

The demonized crow jumped out of the shadow servant's body, landed on the door, held its claws on the iron ring, and flapped its wings to pull it up.

woo-

The twisting of the wooden interface made the wooden door whine, and with a soft sound, the demonized crow lightly placed the wooden door on the ground, then let go of its claws, flew towards the shadow servant, and burrowed into its body .

It seems that it quite enjoys this way of acting?
Some doubts, Yate shook his head, and manipulated the shadow servant into the basement.

When he entered the basement, on the other side, a person suddenly opened his eyes and looked around. He got up and dressed and walked towards the tavern.

"This is?" The shadow servant squatted down and touched his feet. Although there was nothing on the ground, the shadow servant's unique senses could feel that the shadow elements in this area had completely disappeared.

This place seems to be filled with other forces, so the shadow elements are excluded.

It took two steps back, and through the crow's perspective, Art could see that the entire basement didn't look too big, with a total of [-] wooden barrels in three rows placed horizontally on the not-so-high wine rack.

Yate could feel that the demonized crow became more restless, and the desire to destroy became stronger.

Something seems to be provoking it.

The icy air did not dispel this strong desire to attack, and it became more irritable.

While pacifying the demonized crow through a message, Art controlled the shadow servant to continue the investigation.

According to the position where the shadow was expelled and gradually filled by some kind of force, a pattern was gradually constructed in Art's mind.

It feels familiar.

The shadow servant moved forward step by step in the basement, and Art put together the pattern piece by piece in his mind. As the piece was pieced together, the sense of familiarity became stronger and stronger.

I seem to have seen this pattern somewhere.

At this moment, there was a sound from above.

Without any further hesitation, Art made his move.

At this moment, Prome, who was staying not far from Yate, was manipulating the corpse of the Mimic to carve a piece of wood, and was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at himself——

The newly carved wooden crow statue that was originally placed there has appeared in Art's hands.

Enchanted!Dark energy erodes!

A dark energy erosion spell was forcibly pressed into the body of the model crow by Yate.

hat trick!

The body of the demonized crow disappeared instantly, replaced by a wooden statue of a crow.

At this moment, the shadow servant also came to a wooden barrel, and was about to stuff the crow statue into the barrel according to Art's instructions.

However, when he opened the barrel, Art frowned.

The information returned by the shadow servant is that there are creatures in the wooden barrel.

Without the shared vision of the crow servant, he couldn't directly observe anything, but before he could think about it, he felt that the shadow servant was released.

It wasn't canceled by him, so it was
Damaged?

The shadow servant is not a powerful servant, and its various attributes are also extremely low, making it easy to be destroyed.

An ordinary person can destroy this level of lv1 shadow servant.

"What's in it?" Yate thought to himself as he looked at the dazed demonized crow held in his hand.

Immediately, he turned his head and looked at Prome and the other crow servants.

"." Prometheus suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, it raised its head and said with a sneer, "Master, master?"
