The brave man who runs a hotel in an RPG

Across the central stage, I vaguely heard the voices of people coming from the commotion. The words "monster" and "mutation" were mixed with the screams and shouts. After a while, the black-robed mercenaries on that floor started They fled in all directions in a mess, a few of them were blown away by unknown forces in the building, and one of them unfortunately fell off the railing. He fell so fast that he was about to fall to pieces on the ground. The elf maid suddenly kicked her feet and ran towards the person who landed on the ground, and caught the hapless person who was half scared to death in the blink of an eye.

The mercenaries watching from all floors couldn't sit still anymore, and they approached the riot one after another. The housekeeper and maids, as the personnel who maintained order, ran hard at the forefront. The two waiters who brought me the keel just now No exception.

"Arsis, are we going to join in the fun?" Windsania was eager to try, "It sounds interesting to see monsters appearing on the mercenary's territory. Is this the signal for the start of the main storyline?"

"...?" Although Dieter didn't make a statement, he blinked and looked over.

In addition to Dieter and Windsania, I also felt a line of sight, which came from a high place, and if I guessed correctly, it should be one of the three kings.

Fortunately, we are on the second floor, so we can pretend to observe the commotion on the upper floors to find the source of the sight.I calmly cast my eyes diagonally upwards to look around, and successfully met the opponent's eyes for 0.01 seconds.

Located in the middle of the top floor, with long hair, fair skin, and slim body, he is the Earl of Langnes, the king of the day—he was not attracted by the riots, but instead paid attention to the movements of me, the one who took the picture of the keel. , but coming from the Earl of Langnes, whom we have never met, is a bit unbelievable.

When the eyes met, Earl Langens's face was unmoved, and I tried my best to keep my expression unchanged. The eyes of the two passed each other. Afterwards, I responded to Windsania's suggestion with a smile: "Of course, May Didn’t Rudy say it too, it has a 40% chance of triggering.”

The three rushed through the crowd to the scene of the incident. During this gap, several mercenaries were repelled and thrown out. Judging by the reactions of the surrounding people, there were no casualties for the time being, but so many mercenaries couldn't restrain each other. , that guy's strength cannot be underestimated.

When I got to the target floor, there was a roar of a monster from the crowd in front of me. After a little approach, I could see countless streams of dark elemental factors rolling in with my naked eyes. The large black dark elements were flying like flying objects when burning objects. Smoke and dust fell all over the sky in the field of vision, and the painful cries of the monster, like fingernails scraping the table, echoed in the huge mansion, one after another, cadenced and depressed.

"It's barking so loudly, is it calling for its companions?" Wensania wondered.

After she mentioned it, it seemed that the monster was saying something full of emotion.

"Turn on translation mode." I reminded them.

Turn on the translation mode, and the words of the monster are translated into words that I can understand and poured into my ears——

"Look, look, look, look..."

"Can't find, can't find, can't find, can't find..."

"Look, look, look, look, look..."

"Where is it, where is it..."

It just came and went, repeating the same words.

Wen Shania took off the bow on her back with an ugly face: "I can't listen to it any longer. This is nothing more than a **** brainwashing. It's better to deal with it quickly."

Just as Wensania finished speaking, the monster's frenzied chatter stopped abruptly.

With the sudden break of the monster's roar, the noisy crowd also quieted down, but this was just the calm before the storm, because the next moment a black whirlwind broke through the mercenaries' encirclement unexpectedly and blew out menacingly.

The monster didn't make a sound, but what it wanted to say echoed clearly in my mind. Even if I didn't know the reason, I knew it was the dark elements scattered in the air that conveyed the monster's subconscious thoughts to the Lord of Shadows Above Quaid's soul.

--found it.

——Finally, I found you.

After "hearing" the monster's words, I immediately realized: its target is me.

Realizing this, I was inevitably stunned for a while, and when I came back to my senses, three shadows flashed in front of my eyes with lightning speed. The black shadow of the monster intersected with two figures, one blue and one white. The two sharp daggers rubbed against each other to produce a flash of light. I took a big step back in surprise, and I was able to see clearly that the blue figure was Dieter, and the white figure was the elf maid who presided over the auction on the stage.

The monster broke through the obstacles of the two of them and rushed in front of me. I had already pulled out the "Endless Domain" to prepare for the battle. Unexpectedly, the monster didn't get close to half a point, but bent its lower limbs and knelt down on the ground. Tall, with the appearance of a human being, he was wearing a black robe issued uniformly by the housekeepers at the gate of the manor, and a bat with wings ready to fly was embroidered on each cuff with gold thread.

——It turned out to be him!

I lost my words in surprise, and even forgot to cut off the hand holding "Endless Domain".

Through the curvature on the surface of the mask, it can be seen that the monster's mouth is wriggling rapidly. Its trembling and strong body is crawling close to the ground, as if it is trying to lower its back to make itself appear more humble. Its ten ferocious long nails are stuck on the floor. It looks like moving excitedly.

"I..." It uttered a word tremblingly.

A sharp cold light flashed from the side with the aura of tearing space and attacked the carotid artery exposed in front of the monster. Blood sprayed from the wound. The monster's body softened, and its lifeless head knocked naked under my feet with a muffled sound .

The system prompts that the experience value of killing monsters has been settled, and I only belatedly followed the afterimage of the blade light to look at the perpetrator-Dieter retracted the blood-stained dagger under the blue robe, his face still It was a calm and indifferent expression.

……

The elf maid named Angela arranged some people to organize discipline, and the two housekeepers dragged away the monster's body. The auction continued under the auspices of the human maid, and the three of us were informed by Angela of the Sun King's invitation , Said that there is something to ask us to go.

Dieter did not hesitate to dispose of the monster just now, saving me from the crisis of revealing Quaid's identity in the public, but I vaguely felt that Angela had also received an order to kill the monster. Of course, the person who issued the order probably It was the Earl of Langnes, her immediate superior.

The mercenaries who are qualified to enter the monster ball have been personally reviewed by Melody. It is still a mystery how the monster disguised itself as a human and entered here without being discovered. It kept coming towards me. What's going on?

With a lot of doubts, the other two and I followed Angela's back and stepped into the highest floor.

The Earl of Langnes was sitting in a soft and majestic luxurious soft seat. When he saw us at the scene, he ordered someone to pull down the curtain on the railing behind him to isolate the situation of the auction.

Earl Langens clapped his hands and said, "Mello, come out too."

The veil on the right side of the room moved slightly, and Melody and Leia, who often stayed by her side, came out, and Leia carried a person in black robe on her right shoulder.

"The plot is progressing very well." Melody walked to the seat next to Earl Langens and sat down, crossing her legs.

Leia threw the man on his shoulders to the ground. The man rolled half a meter like a cart wheel, and the mask slipped off his face. I saw that his ears were pointed and his head had yellow-green hair. But the blood on his cheeks faded, and his lips turned black.

Leia squatted down and turned the pale elf over. The long bloodstain on the back of the elf's neck looked so familiar, because I had only seen it a quarter of an hour ago.

Windsania took a breath, and spoke first: "The monster is... an elf?"

"Well, as you can see, it was originally a lake elf. It belonged to the No.14 mercenary squad. It has been half a year since it joined the mercenary union. It has excellent business and a good reputation." Melody said in a tone that seemed to be joking. Said.

"How could an elf become a monster?" Windsania asked immediately.

Melody didn't answer Windsania's question. She gave Leia a look, and Leia took the arms of the elf's corpse and threw them back on her shoulders, and strode away from the scene.

As if to bring back our wandering minds, it was Earl Langens' turn to speak this time, but when he opened his mouth, he said incomprehensibly: "The world tree is the center of the world, and its roots spread across four continents. In other words, the world The consciousness of the tree is the consciousness of the whole race. Creatures regard survival as the first priority. Self-preservation is their instinct and the instinct of the World Tree. In order to protect the continent, the evil born from the cave of evil will be absorbed into itself by the World Tree first. in the branches."

He continued: "Evil emerges from the lairs of evil on the four continents, and they will dye the world in a color deeper than darkness. This is the hope of a certain evil dragon and the wish of most monsters. Before that The World Tree is the strongest line of defense against the world, it will fight against the forces of evil until it falls, but when the World Tree falls, how can the world survive well.”

"That is to say, if the world is occupied by evil forces, the world tree will be the first to bear it instead of the world. If the world tree can't hold on, the world will be finished. You call me here to issue me new tasks." I sorted out Lang Ensi said the earl after the words.

Earl Langens nodded slowly.

"You are the facilitator." I used a declarative sentence.

Earl Langens nodded again.

Another coordinator. So far, there are three men and one woman who are the coordinators. Only the mayor, Remnis, we haven't seen yet.

In fact, Abis revealed something similar to this to me three days ago, but I just skipped it in a vague way. Abis said that he sincerely wanted to cooperate, so here I am. Only then did I believe him three points.

"Then, the fact that the lake elf turned into a monster just now is also related to the evil overflowing from the Cave of Evil." I said.

"That's right." Melodie nodded, "The Cave of Evil on South Road is the Cave of Water and the Tomb of the Bandit King. Now that the Tomb of the Bandit King has been destroyed, the source of evil in the Water Cave has also been taken away. Originally There should be no more demonization in the traveler town..."

"But," I continued, "at the end of the last main storyline, all the powers of shadows in the Tower of Demise ran out. Although I ate them up and down, there are still twos and threes wandering around outside, right? ?”

Melody raised the corners of her mouth and smiled without saying a word, with a look of "you understand".

"Then will I be able to stop the deterioration if I take back these shadow powers?"

The few keels I have recovered are enough to help me drive the power of the shadows.

Unexpectedly, Earl Langens dismissed my thoughts: "Unfortunately, no."

Melodie added: "First of all, unlike ordinary falling into heaven and demonization, it is conventionally irreversible to be stained by evil into a dark color; secondly, you can guarantee that you will not change again if you take back these shadow powers. Become an evil personality?"

I said anxiously: "Kane gave me his level and ability, I think I..."

"Can you and Kane together defeat Quaid who has a body of shadow?" Melody asked, "The last time I won was because the 'evil' was defenseless, next time it will directly destroy your body to find What about you new host? You know that 'good' is your main personality, your soul and body are more inclined to it, do you remember how you regained consciousness, in that situation to wake up without you Can you do it with your body?"

"If there is no Kane when you wake up next time, who do you think will stop you?" Melody narrowed her eyes and glanced at my sides, "Winzania? Or Dieter?"

I didn't have the full confidence to say the phrase "myself" that was crazily clamoring from the bottom of my heart.

"Arcis, the more power of shadow you get back, the more contact you have with the dark camp, the more your 'evil' personality grows stronger, even if your master personality is 'good', even if you can overwhelm evil' For a while, but you can’t suppress it for a lifetime, the Lord of Shadows, Demon Dragon Quaid’s personality is biased towards the light, which is contradictory, time will make everything approach their original appearance, and so will you.”

Melodie didn't address me as "Mr. Protagonist", but called me by my first name.

"What you will become and what kind of ending you will end up with depends on yourself, but..." Melody's voice became lower when she said this, and I couldn't hear what was behind, but I could roughly guess it.

——That would not be a happy ending for everyone.

Thinking of Kane sleeping on the hotel bed, I clenched my fists so that my nails sank into my palms, but the sharp pain couldn't counteract the resentment in my heart.

My resentment towards the Creator is saturated, and I only know that if I don't move forward, I will never have the qualifications and opportunities to defeat it head-on.

Melody didn't chat with us for too long. She said that the cannon fodder elf was a sign that the World Tree was about to fail. Before the branch of "Light and Darkness" started, she mentioned to us the restlessness and restlessness coming from the top of the spiral. It shows that the World Tree was in a precarious situation earlier than that time.

Melody issued us the elder certificate, not a document or other forms. The real body of the elder certificate is a golden rune tattooed on the forehead or cheek. Melody said that this rune is the character of the elves. With her breath, the man-eating mist with her breath will treat us as elves and let us pass, and will not confuse us.The tattoo lasts up to a week, as long as you pass through the foggy area outside the World Tree within a week.

After handing out the elder's certificate, Melody and Leia returned to her seat, and the three of us and Earl Langens were left in the room. The handsome earl waved off his attendants and servants, and then suddenly confessed to himself: " I'm not human."

I said, "Nor are Abbys and Lemness."

Earl Langens didn't seem to mind my interruption, he just paused and said, "I used to be an angel."

... This time I have nothing to say.

DeWitt and Su are the angels that have appeared in the town of travelers. Tricia is at most a half-angel. Another angel came out. Could it be Su’s other father?

I boldly stated my doubts, Earl Langens was not angry, he admitted frankly: "DeWitt gave birth to our eggs... Was Su beautiful?"

Like every father, he seemed to care about his daughter.

I tried to recall Su's appearance, but the first thing I thought of was Kane's blond hair that was comparable to Su's.

My heart sank, and I responded perfunctorily with "beautiful" to Earl Langens.

The atmosphere is a bit cold.

Windsania came to the rescue: "Count, you must really want to see her."

Unexpectedly, Earl Langens shrugged his shoulders, claiming that angels were born with indifferent feelings, and he didn't have much special feelings for Su.

"Whether I am an angel or not, I have never thought about having much involvement with her. For us to approach God, other relationships besides being loyal to God are unnecessary."

"Back then, DeWitt and I were both infected by the evil derived from the Tomb of the Bandit King. Before I fell into heaven, DeWitt tried his best to drain my divine power. I slept for many years before waking up. I am no longer an angel, of course I will not fall into the sky again, I am no longer an angel, but I will not grow old, the angel's feathers are exchanged for inexhaustible wealth, I can't go back to heaven, so I bought this manor and settled here .”

Earl Langens looked indifferent when talking about the past.

"Ah, later someone told me that this manor belonged to the Schwinitz family, which happened to be the family that was exterminated by DeWitt. Because of his atrocities after he fell into heaven, there is another evil cave called the Water Cave. No one can see through it.”

After telling his autobiography, Earl Langens called someone to take away Windsania and Dieter, leaving me alone.

I thought that maybe he wanted to talk to me about some important matter like Ibis did three days ago, and was about to listen carefully, but Earl Langens made a request to me that made me dumbfounded.

He asked me sincerely and politely, "Can Brian Gabriel come out and meet me? He's an old friend of mine."

Looking at Earl Langens's moist eyes that have been through many vicissitudes but still beautiful, my heart is racing like a horse. Didn't he say that their angels are naturally cold and aloof and ignore their emotions, and now they are eager to ask me to see them What are old friends?
