The Lone Wolf of Tomorrow's Ark

"Is that so..."

"Sir, the banquet is ready."

When everyone talked here, a waiter came over and said respectfully to the storyteller, and upon hearing his words, the storyteller nodded, and then said to Phoenix and the others:

"You guys don't have a place to live in Poshan Town yet, so how about staying with me for a few days? Just take it as my thank you to the heroes, and it's not too late to leave after New Year's Eve."

"Well... that's good, these gentlemen's hospitality."

For the storyteller's invitation, several people hesitated for a while, Phoenix nodded, and chose to accept the other party's help. After hearing Phoenix's answer, the storyteller showed a little happy smile on his face, and stood up to invite road:

"Then please move to the living room. I have sent someone to prepare dinner. How about having some dinner together? I will also ask my servants to prepare the bath water. Please don't be too polite."

"Thank you again for your help, sir."

——The dividing line between enjoying dinner and a long-lost hot bath——

"Huh... This gentleman's family background is really good. Although some retro environments are not suitable for him, the aromatherapy smells really good, and the hot bath is also very comfortable."

"What Engong said is very true. This tea is also very good."

Sitting on the chair in the bedroom, Phoenix brushed his long hair while talking to Wuyou who lived in the same bedroom with him, and Wuyou nodded in approval, sipping tea slowly, both of them looked very comfortable .

Chapter 720 Second Saga Monk

Because the storyteller’s mansion is located in the daytime area, in order to ensure normal rest, the bedrooms are designed without windows. Because there is no lighting conditions, the overall look is a bit dim, and the only source of light is the door. Daylight and candles on the bedstand.

The table where Phoenix and the others were sitting happened to be in the living room directly opposite the door, and the sunlight coming in from outside the door was still very comfortable.

"Ok?"

When he was quite comfortable at first, Phoenix suddenly realized something, looked up at the tea that Wu You was holding, and asked with a slightly embarrassed expression:

"I said, nothing."

"Huh? What's the matter, benefactor?"

"We are now...in the painting, right?"

"Er... this is what you guessed, benefactor, and I believe it, but since benefactor brought it up again, is there any problem?"

"Well... there is a problem. If we are in a painting, it also means that all the things here are painted, and they are essentially ink. Then... the tea and the meal just now..."

Speaking of this, Phoenix's expression began to look unattractive, and Wu You's expression also changed suddenly. He didn't drink or put the tea in his hand, and the scene was extremely embarrassing for a while.

But fortunately, after a few seconds, Wu You breathed a sigh of relief as if he remembered something, drank the tea in one gulp, and said:

"Actually, although Xiaosheng is still a bit uncertain, there should be no problem. Xiaosheng once heard that a few years ago, a small remote village suffered from famine due to natural disasters. It is said that a talented stranger who was proficient in painting passed by. Here, the food is drawn with a brush. Although it has no taste and no nutrition, but fortunately it can fill the stomach and does not affect the normal digestion. Therefore, with the help of that expert, no one died from the famine. therefore……"

"So you think, since that strange person can draw semi-finished food, Xi, who is a top player in this field, might be able to draw delicious food, or food that can be eaten normally and provide nutrition?"

"Yes, yes, Xiaosheng thinks so now. After all, it can be regarded as a small consolation, at least there is no harm."

"Oh, that's what I said."

If there is really a problem with the food they ate, then they should have had some gastrointestinal problems as early as when they took a shower after eating. Since they have nothing to do now, let's just pretend that the food is all right.

Thinking of this, Phoenix continued to wrap his long hair with a towel, while patting it lightly to let the towel absorb the moisture, while shaking it from time to time to speed up the drying speed of the hair.

If he is not in a hurry, Phoenix usually would not use Originium skills to dry his hair or clothes directly, but wait for it to dry naturally, because it has a breath of life and makes him feel very comfortable.

But Wu Youzai saw Phoenix brushing his hair silently, and couldn't bear his temper for a while, so he took the initiative to ask:

"Speaking of which, Engong, should we take this opportunity to go out for a stroll? Since the layman said that we are free to walk around here, wouldn't it be a waste not to investigate the situation here?"

"That's right, but what about those ink monsters? At present, we don't know the rules of their appearance. Although we know that the opponent will appear and disappear with the bell, it can only mean that the bell is related to the ink monster. , isn’t necessarily the mastermind behind the scenes, isn’t it?”

"Eh... what benefactor said is very true, then, shall we continue to wait here for a while?"

"Do not."

Speaking of which, Phoenix flicked back his barely dry hair. Although it was still a bit damp, it was not a frozen ice field outside, so it was harmless. Immediately afterwards, Phoenix put on his knight armor, said:

"Come on, go out and see."

"Huh? Ah, okay, I'll be right over."

Seeing that Phoenix suddenly took the initiative to go out, Wu You naturally would not stay alone, and hurriedly followed. When the servants of the mansion saw Phoenix and the two going out, they all looked respectful and did not stop them.

After coming outside, Phoenix walked slowly on the road with Wuyou, and suddenly asked:

"No, do you have something to hide from us?"

"Ah... uh... You, you can see it, benefactor."

"When you fought the ink monsters, your hand stretching was obviously good. Although those pincers are fierce by nature, their combat effectiveness is actually not high, and they chased you so far. Something is really wrong."

"Forehead…………"

When Phoenix suddenly pointed out a secret, Wuyou's expression became extremely awkward, and he didn't know what to say for a while, and even slowed down involuntarily.

However, Wu You originally thought that he would be scolded by Phoenix, but unexpectedly, Phoenix didn't care much and said:

"It doesn't matter, it's good if you know it. It's impossible for people to have secrets. I won't force you to ask anything. You can say what you want, and it doesn't matter if you don't want to. Anyway, we have already come here, and we are on the same rope."

"Emperor..."

Hearing Phoenix's words, Wu You couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then he was rarely moved, and said in a low voice:

"Actually, benefactor, to be honest, Xiaosheng is not a Taoist priest who came to roam. It should be said that Xiaosheng is actually running away."

"Escape?"

"Yes, there are enemies chasing me. Xiaosheng didn't do anything to them. It probably has something to do with my master. I wanted to avenge my master and his old man, but Xiaosheng was no match for me. In desperation, I could only act like I ran away like a prodigal dog, and on the way, Xiaosheng made a fortune, knowing that someone would pass nearby, so I went to provoke the pincer beast, hoping to get some help from my benefactor on the road."

"Good guy, the plots in martial arts novels are still happening in Yan Kingdom? Ah, no offense intended."

"It doesn't matter. Yan Kingdom has a vast land and abundant resources, and it is impossible for the distribution of yamen to cover all towns and cities. There are always some places that are still at a relatively backward stage of advocating force."

"Is that so, then, after you go out, you are going to take revenge?"

"Oh, yes, Master and his elders actually want me to find a place where they can't find, and find a wife to live a peaceful life, but if I don't take revenge, Xiaosheng really feels ashamed of Master."

When he said this, the sadness and anger shown on Wu You's face were absolutely sincere, and it seemed that the other party had indeed confessed this time.

Phoenix was about to say some comforting words, but before he could speak, a person rushed out of the corner ahead and bumped into Phoenix directly.

"Wow?! Ah, Sumi Mason...ah no, I'm sorry, are you okay? The little monk is still too reckless, this benefactor is very sorry!"

After accidentally bumping into Phoenix and staggering, the man who ran out suddenly also backed up, and then hurriedly bowed at ninety degrees to apologize, appearing very polite.

After hearing the other party's words, Phoenix, who was not affected at all, lowered his head and began to look at the person in front of him:

A very serious-looking girl, about the same age as Phoenix, was wearing a black monk's uniform from the Eastern Kingdom, with a cloth bag hanging around her waist. She had waist-length smooth long hair, and her hair was flowing from the other's small ears. Judging from the tail, the opponent's race seems to be a black Shiba Inu, yes, it is the famous cute thing.

After realizing the other party's race, Phoenix almost couldn't help but touch it directly. After all, except for dog-phobic people, who can refuse a cute A Chai?

However, considering that the other party is not a real Shiba Inu, Phoenix was not really that impolite, but said directly:

"It doesn't matter, I didn't get hurt anyway, you don't have to worry about this... high monk."

"No, no, the little monk is just a wandering monk, and he is still practicing. The senior monk or something, the current understanding of the little monk is far from enough, but thank you for your praise."

After Phoenix finished speaking, the monk girl quickly denied the title of 'high monk', and then she showed a shy smile while speaking, holding a stick in her arms tightly with her left hand , put your right hand together in front of your chest, and bow to express your gratitude.

Afterwards, the monk girl got up and looked up, looked at the appearance of the two of Phoenix, suddenly her eyes lit up, and she said happily:

"Ah! You two are the heroes who protected the town as everyone said. Sure enough, the clothes of foreigners are as easy to recognize as the little monk. I didn't expect to meet here. The first time we met, the little monk Saga, came from the Eastern Kingdom. For wandering monks who have come to Yan Kingdom to cultivate, please give me more advice!"

"Sure enough, you are from the Eastern Kingdom. By the way, your Yan Kingdom speaks quite well. By the way, I am a lone wolf, and there is nothing here."

"Hey hey, Lone Wolf benefactor and Wuyou benefactor, please give me more advice. In fact, Yan Guo dialect is taught well by the shopkeeper. She is a very good person. She not only teaches the little monk to speak Yan Guo dialect, but also takes care of the little monk's food. The monk is responsible for the work of ringing the bell."

"Huh? Ring the bell?"

Hearing what Saga said, Phoenix and Wuyou were stunned at the same time, and after looking at each other, Wuyou asked first:

"Well, Miss Saga, you just said, ring the bell?"

"Yes, the shopkeeper said he was in charge of me, and I just need to go to the temple at a fixed time to check for the traces of those Moyings, and find that they are coming to the town to ring the bell to warn, ah, Mo is The little monk gave them names, because the host grandpa told me the so-called ghost stories of 'sprites', and the little monk directly applied them."

"Mo Ling, the name is quite good......"

After Saga finished speaking, Phoenix and Wuyou frowned at the same time, and then talked in a low voice:

"Engong, it seems that there is something wrong with the shopkeeper."

"Yes, obviously that person is very aware of Mo Ling's existence, at least compared to those townspeople who don't know anything, he must know some secrets."

"Then, do you want to go see it now?"

"Wait a minute, I have something I want to investigate."

After the exchange, Phoenix looked at and kept smiling, his tail slowly wagging, feeling a little cute and awkward, and once again endured the idea of ​​licking the other party's small ears, he asked:

"By the way, Miss Saga, since you are also a foreigner, you should know the entrance and exit of this town, right? Can you show us?"

"No problem, two benefactors, please come with me."

It was obviously a very abrupt request, but Saga acted as if he had no suspicion at all, wagging his tail and happily led the way, as if he was very happy to be asked to do something.

Seeing the other party's performance, Phoenix and Wuyou looked at each other again, and then followed, ready to check where the exit of Poshan Town was.

——The dividing line that has gone a long way——

"Two benefactors, here we are. That's the exit of Poshan Town."

Standing in an extremely dark street, Saga holding a small lantern leaned the stick on his shoulder, raised his other finger and pointed to a gate not far away. Of course, it was a gate, but It's more like a memorial archway. Not surprisingly, the name of Poshan Town should be written on it.

The location where Phoenix and the others are now is basically extremely deep into the night area, which can be said to be quite dangerous. Even the residences and buildings of the townspeople can hardly be seen here, and there are basically large open spaces.

Looking at the torii gate, Phoenix nodded thoughtfully, and asked:

"Miss Saga, have you ever been out of town?"

"Huh? Didn't you guys just come in from outside the town? Could it be that they didn't pay attention to the terrain because they were being chased by Mo Ling?"

"Well, it's not easy to explain. We seem to have encountered a supernatural event. We were originally looking for someone in Huiqi Mountain near Niweng Town, but somehow they appeared in Poshan Town. Miss Saga How did you get in?"

"Benefactor?!"

Hearing that Phoenix was so grandiose to confess to Saga, who also looked like a foreigner, but had obviously been completely assimilated by memory, Wuyou couldn't help but be taken aback. What if this is one of Xi's eyeliners? What should I do, wouldn't it be a big trouble if I can't get out by then?

However, before Wu asked anything, Phoenix suddenly made a quiet gesture, because after he finished speaking, Saga's expression suddenly froze, as if her memory also had a fault:

"Ah, little monk is... is..."
