Chapter 1 Ode to Joy
Under the night, this sacred land favored by the gods was in peace.
The city has gradually fallen asleep, and most of the priests and believers have been observing the teachings of the gods and fell asleep early.
But it is only most of it. Not all gods advocate regular life and good habits. Some gods advocate believers to enjoy life as much as possible. Life is short. Who knows what will happen tomorrow? It is enough to live a happy day now, so why bother with any living habits?
There are many believers of this kind of gods, and the various night entertainment facilities in the temples are often built for them.
For example, a tavern.
Speaking of the tavern in Pavatiga, if folklorists tell it, I'm afraid there will be no end to talk about it in a month. Just the style can be discussed for three days.
The taverns in Pavatiga have their own characteristics, and each region, race and tavern style is different.
The wooden elves' tavern is full of flowers, and it seems to be in the forest. The mountain elves' tavern is simple and elegant, and is even more solemn than the temple. No wonder some people joke that drinking here is not called drinking, but pilgrimage. The night elves' tavern is extremely carved and fully demonstrates their exquisite artistic nature. The sea elves' tavern uses coral as chairs and conch as cups, and enjoys the beautiful underwater scenery with tamed fish.
The dwarfs' taverns have always been piled up with huge rocks, and the fire-like spirits are as passionate as the fire in their chests. The orcs' taverns are primitive and mysterious, and the pungent bloody wine is as scarlet as the liquid in the wine glasses of the God of War they love. It is hard to describe the human tavern. A race is divided into more than 30 different styles due to different regions.
As for the style of the Temple of the Gods, the style here is a hodgepodge, and the style of each tavern is completely different.
The temple of the gods has residents from all races and regions. The tavern is also a group of guests with completely different habits. So as time goes by, the tavern naturally differentiates, and the guests of the tavern will also choose different taverns according to their beliefs, habits and needs.
"What did you choose?" The two priests of the Temple of Water were wrapped in pullover cloaks. Because of their good skin, the water priests always attracted too much attention. Over time, they developed the habit of wrapping in cloaks. The older Bonitara pulled her hood and asked in a low voice, "How could he choose such a strange tavern?"
As she said, it was so strange here, it was a bit strange... crazy.
In the tavern called Ode to Joy, the lights are light and dark. In the middle is a tall round stage. Several girls in clothes are exposed and pretty, twisting their waists on the stage and dancing to the music. The music is soothing and gentle, as if whispering by the pillow. The tune gently scratches the listener's heart, making people itchy all over, but they are never relieved. The dance postures of the girls on the stage are like this melody, which can only be described as seductive.
There are many guests in the tavern, both men and women, and a large part of them are priests, but these people cannot see the sacredness and solemnity of the priests at this time. They have strange and ambiguous smiles on their faces, and their eyes keep glancing on the stage.
At the wine table, maids in thin clothes were walking around. Although these women were not necessarily beautiful, they were full of youthful vitality and a different kind of... Passion, their eyes swept over, and the corners of their eyebrows were filled with endless meanings. Many drinkers were attracted by their gazes, smiled strangely, stood up and followed someone, and walked backwards. As for what they were going to do, it was unknown.
The people who stayed were not idle either. From time to time, there were male and female drinkers who didn't know each other, whispering while drinking, and not knowing what they were talking about. But often, as they were chatting, the two disappeared. Maybe they could only be seen the next morning.
"The industry of Amanda believers has never been a normal place." The older Bonita frowned under his hood. "I don't think I can stay there for a minute, so how can I choose to be a party place here?"
Indeed, the priest of Lord Wendy, the Lord of Lakes and Rivers, has always been known for his purity of the soul. Amanda, the goddess of desire, desire and pleasure, one of the three gods of love, has always complained about her lovers, and has been away from her believers. If I hadn't been asking for help from Sul this time, I would probably never have entered these beautiful places collectively known as the nest of joy in my life.
"I chose this place specifically." Shuer said honestly, "As for the reason, it's more..."
"Cheap." A tall woman with blood and blood rushing answers to Shuer's question while swaying over. On her back, she dragged a pair of huge black wings. As she walked, occasionally black feathers fell from her wings. Before she could fall to the ground, they turned into the purest energy and dissipated in the air.
"It's really rare. They are two pure virgins of water." The woman covered her lips and showed a high smile. "Mr. Wendy's servants will come into our Ode to Joy. It turns out that you are not a group of ice girls, and they also have needs, oh hehe."
"This is Sta, the owner of this tavern. As for faith, you know." Shure introduced with a gentle smile and a calm tone, "These two are my client. If you tease them again, I will invite Mia and Militi to entertain you."
"Tsk, those two perverted interests are only as happy as they can have fun with them. Are you really willing to give me to them?" His face changed slightly. The Winged Human woman, known as Sta, gave Shur a charming look and said with a silky look, "I am so kind and give you 50% off every time. You actually want to treat me like this."
"I appreciate it, so I'll take care of your business." It's a skill to be able to say that cheap things are so high-sounding. "Look, I'm so kind to you, and you even condemn me. Oh, who can understand the sorrow of not being understood?"
"If you really want to take care of your business, how about taking care of me? "The tip of the wings gently slid across the back of Shuer's hand. Stare smiled and blinked, bent down and murmured toward Shuer's ear, "I think tonight is a very good day, what do you think."
"What a pity, my love has been dedicated to my Lord. Only the glory of my Lord can make me moved. All the people in the world can no longer care about me." Xiuer said seriously, "For my Lord, I can only refuse your invitation. In addition, to be honest, a thousand gold coins is too expensive, and even a 50% discount is quite terrifying."
"I can give you another half discount, two hundred and fifty gold coins, and you can continue to discuss it." He sighed softly in Shuer's ears, and Sta's voice became lighter and lighter, "How about it, if I am happy, you can be free, hahahaha, I..."
"Hey? Am I early?" Just as the female boss of the bar was getting closer and closer, and Shure was smiling calmly, the sounds of two water priests suddenly sounded nearby, "As soon as I came, I saw such a warm scene, hurry up and continue."
"Hmph, Moria." Stah knew who it was without looking back, and snorted coldly, "Don't be proud, sooner or later, this man will belong to me."
"You can't do it, really." Moria said seriously. "Sul only likes to sleep with animals and plants. Humanoid creatures like you are not a species he likes, and he will not be erected at you..."
"Hey, you're almost the same, deer." Shuer decisively stopped Moria from speaking violently, "And what does it mean to sleep with animals and plants? I'm not as heavy as you."
"Let's take a look." Sta squinted his lips, turned around and left with dissatisfaction. Lin Jing, who didn't even look at this bad guy's good deeds.
"Hehe, I'm not late this time." After easily driving away the overestimating enemy, the beautiful Lin Jing ran to the table happily, and jumped with four hooves, "I'm the first one to come."
"Stop. You two, cover your mouth and nose." In a voice, Moria froze in place as if she was immobilized. Shuer quickly gave two Wendy's believers, covered her mouth and nose, and then nodded, "Continue."
He obediently followed Xiu's instructions and immediately continued the movement he had not done just now... He swung his body hard like a wet puppy, raising all the dust stained along the way into the air. In an instant, the sky was covered in dust at the wine table, and people around him were choking and coughing. However, when he saw that the ferocious beast was a forest spirit, he knew that he could not reason with this creature, so he could only curse and move to other tables.
"Hey? I forgot again." Even I coughed with choking. Lin Jing smiled blankly, "You said you should be shaking outside the door, hehe."
"Haha, hehe." After a few smiles, Shuer responded without laughing. She didn't believe that she didn't hold on to the people nearby, but she was too lazy to expose the naughty Lin Jing. Shuer asked in confusion, "Where is Sassa? Shouldn't she be with you?"
"Isn't she right behind me..." Turning his head and looking at his empty back, blinking in confusion. Moria suddenly screamed, "Oh no, I forgot her again."
"You fool deer left me again." Fortunately, less than half a minute later, Shuer heard the voice that even angry was so shy, "I want to eat the legs of the smoked deer! Oh!"
Obviously, Saff, who had rushed in, just found that there were many strangers around her looking at her, and now she couldn't care about anything. She rushed to Shuer's side as soon as possible, curled up and shrank behind Shuer's back, and even shivered.
"Okay OK, don't be so scared. Come on, go sit in the corner, I'll help you block people." Soothing the timid girl, Shuer looked at the moonlight outside the window, "It's almost time, they should be here soon."
