Chapter 35 Attar
When Zhujue arrived in Wusau Town, the sky was already dim, and most of the orange-red sunset was under the plains in the far distance, and the moon wheel appeared faintly in the sky.
The terrain of the entire Usa Town is not flat, but is built around a hill. When you stand at the entrance of the town, you can clearly feel that the road is extending upwards.
The town undoubtedly existed for a long time. Compared with Neil City, the architectural style here seems to be a bit special to Zhujue. The ancient spire houses stand in rows, and there are also many attic corridors that protrude from the houses and hang out above the streets. Below it, there are narrow mountain alleys passing through the houses, and groups of cats wander among them. The residents who come and go seem to be accustomed to the existence of these cats and do the final work before the night comes.
"The Church of Uza..."
Holding the church's prayer ticket in his hand, his eyes were on the solemn and elegant circular tower at the highest point of Usa Town, which was different from other buildings in the town.
Zhu Jue knew that there should be his goal, but it was obviously not appropriate to visit him at this time, because the prayer voucher clearly stated that the opening hours of the church are standard from 9 to 5, and 996 obviously does not exist here.
"Hey! Outsider, what is your purpose in Usa?"
Just as Zhu Jue was thinking about finding a place to settle down first, two men wearing leather armor and holding short swords in their hands ran to ask about the situation at the entrance of the nearby alley.
When they were asked, their hands were already on the hilt of the sword, and their hostility was obvious.
He called himself an outsider, equipped with weapons in the town, and took the initiative to ask, Zhu Jue pulled the horse next to him to his side, and the identities of the two people in front of him were about to emerge, and the town garrison team, the "police" of this world.
"I just happened to pass by and wanted to rest in Usa Town for one night and go to Neil City tomorrow."
Although he didn't quite understand why these people were so vigilant to outsiders, Zhu Jue raised his hands as soon as possible to show that he had no malice and then explained.
"Open your backpack and we're going to check it out."
"Of course, no problem... Is there something happening in Usa Town recently? This was not the case when I passed by here before."
He opened the backpack without any hesitation. There was nothing strange inside, so Zhu Jue was not afraid of checking. Fortunately, he got the space handbag in advance and hid the eye-catching Sanri Moon Taidao. He took out two silver coins from his pocket and stuffed them into their hands, pretending to be careless and asked.
Zhu Jue had not been questioned by the local garrison team before in Neil City, but was stopped and investigated when he came to this town.
The reason is naturally impossible because the garrison staff here are more dedicated.
"The nights in the town are not very safe these days. If you can leave, it is best to leave immediately."
The guard's attitude when receiving the money immediately improved a lot. For such a traveler of the best, they also told some inside information without hesitation. Even the action of searching the backpack was much gentler.
"Dangerous? This is really bad news. I have companions on the way. The better I meet in Wusa Town, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave tonight... Can you tell me some more detailed information? I'll be prepared sooner."
They stuffed silver coins into their hands. After killing the Dream Eater, Zhu Jue got nearly 30 gold coins, which was nothing.
The town guards who made another profit looked at each other. One of them coughed twice, turned to look at the entrance of the nearby alley, and the other took two steps forward and continued: "This is a secret, you won't want to know... If you don't want to die, don't go out at night!"
After saying the news that was not said, the two guards didn't even give him a chance to ask, and turned around and left directly.
Who said that you have to do things after taking the money?
Zhu Jue looked at the two guards who had taken the money and resisted the urge to draw his sword to violently interrogate. He treated his money as his money and fed the two dogs. He looked up and saw the deeper sky, and was about to find a hotel nearby to settle down.
Meow ~
In the familiar voice, Zhu Jue stopped and looked in the direction where the sound came. The black cat I had seen in the fields outside Usa Town before was standing on the roof in front of the left and looking at this side.
It is waiting for itself.
Somehow, Zhu Jue had such an idea in his mind, but when he approached, the black cat turned around and left again.
However, this time Zhu Jue did not lose the black cat directly. After running a few meters, it stopped and squatted on the wall farther away, as before, continuing to watch here.
"What does this mean?..."
Zhu Jue, who had some vague guesses, deliberately walked out more than ten meters to the opposite direction of the Black Cat's location, that is, outside Wusa Town.
Looking back.
Sure enough, the black cat appeared at its last position.
Without saying a word, he turned over and approached the black cat. The latter turned around and ran into the distance on the walls of the rows of houses.
Zhu Jue followed along the way. Sometimes because the alleys were narrow or there were pedestrians on the street, the black cat stopped, which made Zhu Jue completely confirm his guess.
The black cat wants to take himself somewhere!
But what surprised Zhujue was that as he went deep into Wusa Town, he soon discovered that the target of the Black Cat seemed to be the tall stone tower located at the highest point of the entire town!
This is indeed the case.
Ten minutes later, Zhu Jue watched with his own eyes the black cat jumping into the window on the second floor of the tower along the branches of an old oak tree growing outside the tower, leaving him a wooden branch that was still shaking.
Climb the window into it?
This was Zhu Jue's first reaction, and he did do it.
Originally, according to his plan, he had to find a place first and come over to find out in the evening. Who would have thought that the appearance of this black cat disrupted his plan? Now, no matter whether he wanted it or not, Usa's church is in front of him.
I got off the horse and ran to the oak tree that the black cat had just climbed. The window on the second floor was not small. As long as I kept my hands and feet, I could jump in directly.
Jump up and grab the bottom branch, ready to take advantage of the force to turn to higher places.
Squeak ~
The gate of the tower slowly opened.
A beard dragged to his chest and the old man with his face covered with traces of time stood a wooden stick about the same height as him, coming out from it.
After doing three consecutively, Zhu Jue's face turned red (wrongly) and fell back to the ground. He looked at the old man walking out of the door, patted the debris of grass and trees that did not exist on his shoulder and said, "I haven't exercised for a long time. I want to do some exercise when I see this kind of tree branch... I'm disturbing."
"I think you should be a little tired of exercising. My friend came to me just now, maybe just to let you come in and rest for a while."
The old man wearing a white robe kept his eyes on Zhu Jue, and finally chose not to expose the latter's clumsy lies, but continued to say according to Zhu Jue's words.
The black cat who brought Zhu Jue here was standing beside the old man!
"It actually brought me."
There is actually nothing to hide at this point. Black cat and this old man obviously know each other.
"It's not it, it's him."
The old man corrected Zhu Jue's grammatical disease, turned his head toward the tower, with a mysterious smile hanging on the corner of his mouth, and said in a whisper,
"Young man from afar, can you call me Atal, if you have time, come and have a drink?"
Zhu Jue thought that the old man said "drinking a cup" meant to go in and drink tea. After thinking about it, he still refused. He always wanted to visit him. It was better to sneak in and walk in openly now.
He never expected that as soon as he sat down, he looked at it and saw that he was not much different from the wise man or was simply the wise man, and directly placed two wooden wine glasses on the table, and then said with a "shame" that Zhu Jue quickly took out the moonlight wine to drink two glasses.
Yes, Atal's "drink a drink" refers to drinking.
I still drink Zhujue's wine...
"Hahaha~ I knew you had moonlight wine on you. I smelled it when I opened the door. Damn, the group of disgusting monsters like rats in the Mysterious Forest. If I hadn't been older, I would have dug up the moon tree and planted it in the backyard to make wine every day... The weather has been so hot recently. If there was no moonlight wine, I would have to climb to the top of the tower to enjoy the cool air."
The robe was pulled to the knees, exposed her two dense legs and drank half a piece of shorts, and half a cup of moonlight wine was smeared in one sip. Atal, who was flushed, patted his thighs and said.
This old man's alcohol tolerance is really not good...
