Chapter 8 Chaos in the Town
"The blizzard has stopped." This was the first sentence Panis heard when he walked out of his room yawning. It was now the third day after Lina had undergone all treatment. The location was no longer a tavern with noisy and dirty voices, but an ordinary residence in the town.
The morning before yesterday, Lina completed the collective treatment for the residents of the town. Everyone returned to the room of the tavern. They wanted to wait quietly for four days to hand over the liaison officer of the Bailong Autonomous Domination, but unexpectedly, the townsmen did not intend to let everyone go so easily. The kind townsmen did not disperse immediately after the six adventurers left. The male hosts of each family took the opportunity to gather in the auditorium for a while and decided to hold a town-wide banquet that night to celebrate the patient.
They recovered their health and were grateful to the kind silver-haired pastor for his favor to the town. So, without everyone in the adventure group knowing that the whole town was busy. Each family brought out the best food and the wine they collected, and each brought a lot of decorations. The preparations were lively and the preparations continued from noon to evening. After all this, the bearded mayor came to invite the six adventurers.
Theoretically, people are not willing to attend this banquet. On the one hand, it is because if they participate, it is easy to change the nature of collective healing during the day. On the other hand, several girls with spell casting professions are indeed not interested in this banquet. If they tell the members of the adventure group before preparation, Catherine will definitely try her best to stop the townsmen from their spontaneous behavior. But when everything is ready, it becomes a very sensitive thing. Facing the enthusiastic townsmen, if everyone refuses at this time, it is easy to cause harm to the townsmen's simple hearts and enthusiasm, just like the piece of dirty candy offered by the little girl during the treatment before. At this time, accepting the kindness of reward within the other party's ability becomes the only option. Only in this way can it not turn into an embarrassing situation for both parties.
So, from the evening, the auditorium was filled with joy. The cold temperature and howling snowstorm could not stop the enthusiasm and gratitude of people's chests. The big bucket of spirits and whole prey were constantly moved to the banquet site and were constantly consumed. The townsmen who had been bored for several months also took this opportunity to have fun. The half-drunk townsmen were constantly dancing the unique dance steps of the snow field in the middle of the auditorium, and letting their throats open and singing loudly. Soon, the members of the adventure group who were not very willing were also infected by the atmosphere of the banquet, and their hearts were all
He was involved in the banquet. Even Lina, who had been fierce in front of the townsmen, had a group of naughty children on her body, and she performed several of the most basic magical techniques with reluctance. However, she had almost no reaction to any communication. Even if there was a reaction, she would be much behind Vivian and Eva, who had no expression on her face to respond with a few syllables, became a special case at the banquet. The special performance of the two made the townsmen a little afraid, and basically nothing dared to bother them. They also made them happy to keep the quiet around them.
The lively banquet lasted until late at night, and after that, the mayor finally gave everyone a surprise. When the six people were about to return to the pub, the mayor grabbed everyone with a mysterious look on his face, led the six people to a relatively remote place in the town, and took everyone into a house that had not lived in for a while. According to the mayor, this is his family's property, but because his daughter and his family have been living in the hometown of the northern son-in-law in the past two years. The house was vacant and could be temporarily lent to the adventure group to live in the dirt-smelling environment of the pub. This real gift made everyone very happy. Although the girls were used to living in various environments, as long as they were normal people, they would rather choose a better living environment when possible, so no one refused and moved into the empty house happily overnight.
On the second day of the banquet, the town seemed particularly quiet. The excited townsmen felt tired, and they slept until the morning of the next day before barely getting up, and returned to their daily life with a tired face. At this time, the difference between the independent house and the tavern guest room was revealed. The girls spent a quiet and peaceful day around the warm fire. Except for the mayor who came to greet them in the evening, no one came to disturb everyone. Only when Catherine opened the door and sent the mayor back, she found that there were all kinds of food neatly piled up near the door. Obviously, this was thankful from the people.
Just when the six people in the adventure group thought that the banquet would pass so peacefully the next day, the sleeping adventure group was suddenly awakened that night. In the dark night, the shaking fire broke the six people's sleep. When they lay down at the window, they saw that many townsmen were walking around the town with torches in their hands, as if they were anxiously looking for something. However, the townsmen did not seem to be close to the house, so they did not care and continued to go back to their rooms to sleep. The next morning, when Penis walked into the living room on the first floor, he heard a comment without any emotion: "The blizzard has stopped."
Panis rubbed his eyes and yawned, and looked around in a daze. The window in the living room was opened. You could see that the wind and snow outside had stopped, but the cold air still floated into the room from the hole window, making him wake up in an instant. Since it was still early, the girls were still sleeping, with only a bunch of blond hair, sitting by the window reflecting the sun's brilliance. It was obvious that only Eva had gotten up and was breathing fresh air, and combing her beautiful long hair as she did every day.
However, after Eva finished saying this, she found that Panis had come over and wanted to look outside the window, so she stopped combing her hair and stuffed the comb into Panis's hand. Panis smiled bitterly and took the comb, skillfully pulling Eva's long hair, while muttering in a low voice: "I said, aren't you always targeting me? Since you hate me like this, you should ignore me. Why do you just ask me to comb your hair?"
"According to analysis, the blizzard decreased last afternoon. When I saw the townspeople holding torches at night, it had basically stopped." Ava pointed out of the window with a blank expression and said, "As for the townspeople did not get close to this place last night, they should have deliberately avoided it. The snow nearby had no signs of trampling."
"Hey, you're ignoring me again." Panis gently tapped Eva's head, but the hair combing action did not stop. He said while combing: "Someone of them should have been lost. Last night I vaguely heard their call. If they were looking for something, they shouldn't be stupid enough to call it."
"It seems like that." Eva's back was squinting her eyes comfortably like a kitten, almost making the sound of purring. However, Penis didn't see her expression and continued to gently combed her soft blonde hair. Eva's long hair inherited from her mother Sieghen, thick and smooth, and felt like she was stroking the smooth silk satin, which felt unexpectedly good.
"Yeah, is this father combing his daughter's hair?" Without looking back, you can hear Lina's voice. The silver-haired girl ran over and looked out the window and leaned out of the window. She shrank her neck under the stimulation of the cold, hid back to the fire and said with a smile: "I suddenly remembered something. Ava, you always like to stick to Panis, it's not because he is also blonde."
"The data is unknown and cannot be judged." Lina just made a joke, but Eva actually thought about it seriously and replied seriously: "The possibility is less than 25%, and the guess is rejected."
"Linna, don't bully Eva all the time." Catherine pulled Vivian down the stairs, put Vivian on a chair covered with animal skins, and then stood shoulder to shoulder with Panis on the bedside, looking at the footprints on the snow in the distance and said, "I don't know who was missing. Have they found it? I hope nothing happened."
"It shouldn't be found." Panis said without raising his head: "They looked like they had been finding it all the time this morning. They couldn't stand it anymore. However, there were probably clues. Otherwise, they wouldn't limit the scope to the town, and they should also search for safe areas near the town."
"If they haven't found it, they probably have to look for it today." Catherine nodded and said, "Would we go and help?"
"Let's talk about it, now you say help, others may not agree." Panis shook his head and said, "Some things can't be helped even if you want to help. And we're leaving the day after tomorrow, so don't be too troublesome."
"Yeah." Although Catherine nodded, she was still worried. Panis sighed and said nothing more. The Knight always had such a personality. Even if it had nothing to do with him, she could not bear to watch innocent and kind people suffer. I'm afraid that if it weren't for the sake of Vivian's affairs, Catherine would not even reluctantly agree.
"It's good. If they are willing to mention it to us, let's ask about the situation and see if they can help." Panis said helplessly: "If it's not a very important thing, we don't care. If it will affect our agreement with McVilling, don't worry. However, if it doesn't have any impact on our schedule, it's okay to help. Do you think this is OK, the great female Knight."
"Okay." Catherine nodded, with smiles between her eyebrows and eyes. She glanced at Panis and said, "I'm willful this time, thank you, hehe."
