Chapter 313 Atal

When Zhu Jue came to Wusa Town, the sky was already dark, most of the orange-red sunset was under the far-away plain, and the moon was looming in the sky.

The terrain of the entire town of Usa is not flat, but built around a hill. Standing at the entrance of the town, one can clearly feel that the road is extending upwards.

The town has undoubtedly existed for a long time. Compared with Nier City, the architectural style here is a bit special in Zhu Jue's opinion. The ancient pointed houses stand in rows, and there are many attic corridors protruding from the buildings and hanging above the street. Below it are narrow mountain alleys that shuttle between the houses, and groups of cats wander among them, and the residents who come and go seem to be used to the existence of these cats, and they are doing their own things before the night comes. Finishing touches.

"The Church of Uzzah"

Holding the prayer ticket of the church in his hand, he cast his eyes on the solemn and elegant circular tower at the highest point of Wusha Town, which is different from other buildings in the town.

Zhu Jue knew that there should be his goal, but it is obviously not appropriate to visit at this time, because the prayer ticket clearly states that the church is open from nine to five, and 996 obviously does not exist here. of.

"Hey! Outsider, what is your purpose in coming to Uzzah?"

Just when Zhu Jue was thinking about finding a place to stay, two men in leather armor and holding daggers came to inquire about the situation at the entrance of a nearby alley.

When they were questioning, their hands were already on the hilt of their swords, and their hostility was obvious.

Calling himself an outsider, equipped with weapons in the town, and took the initiative to ask, Zhu Jue pulled the horse next to him, and the identities of the two people in front of him were ready to be revealed. The town defense team is the "police" of this world. .

"I just happened to pass by. I want to rest in Usha Town for one night, and then go to Neil City tomorrow."

Although he didn't quite understand why these people were so wary of outsiders, Zhu Jue immediately raised his hands to show that he was innocent, and then explained.

"Open your backpack, we need to check."

"Of course, no problem. Has something happened in Wusha Town recently? It didn't happen when I passed here before."

He opened the backpack without the slightest hesitation. There was nothing strange in it, so Zhu Jue was not afraid to check it. Fortunately, he got the space handbag in advance to hide the eye-catching three-day moon sword. At the same time, he took out two silver coins from his pocket and stuffed them hand, pretending to ask casually.

Zhu Jue hadn't been questioned by the local defense team in Neil City before, but when he came to this town, he was stopped and interrogated instead.

The reason is naturally impossible because the guards here are more dedicated.

"The nights in the town are not very safe these days. If you can go, it's best to leave immediately."

The attitude of the guards who received the money immediately improved a lot. For this kind of up-to-date traveler, 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 still have companions on the way. The better we can meet here in Usa Town, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave tonight. Can you two give me more detailed information, so I can do it sooner?" Guard."

Then they stuffed a silver coin into each of their hands, and after killing the dream eater, Zhu Jue got nearly 30 gold coins, which was nothing.

The town guards who made another fortune looked at each other, one of them coughed twice, turned his head to look at the entrance of the nearby alleyway, and the other stepped forward two steps and said: "This is a secret, you don't want to know it If you don't want to die, don't go out at night!"

After saying the tasteless news, the two guards didn't even give a chance to ask, and turned around and left.

Who said you have to do things after you take the money?

Zhu Jue looked at the two guards who took the money and walked away. He resisted the urge to go up to the violent interrogation with his sword. He fed the two dogs with his own money. Find a hotel to stay.

meow~
With a familiar voice, Zhu Jue stopped and looked in the direction of the sound. The black cat he had seen in the field outside Wusha Town was standing on the roof in front of the left and looking at this side.

It is waiting for itself.

For some reason, Zhu Jue had such an idea in his mind, but when he approached, the black cat turned and left again.

It's just that this time Zhu Jue didn't lose sight of the black cat directly. It stopped after running a few meters, squatted on the far wall, and continued to watch here as before.

"What does that mean, doesn't it?"

Zhu Jue, who had some vague guesses, deliberately walked a dozen meters in the opposite direction of where the black cat was, that is, the direction outside Wusha Town.

look back.

Sure enough, the black cat appeared where it was last time.

Without further ado, he got on his horse and approached the black cat. The latter also turned around and galloped into the distance on the walls of the row of houses.

Zhu Jue followed all the way, sometimes because the alleys were narrow or there were pedestrians on the street and had to slow down, the black cat would stop, which made Zhu Jue completely confirm his guess.

The black cat wants to take himself somewhere!
To Zhujue's surprise, as he went deeper into Wusha Town, he soon discovered that the target of the black cat seemed to be the stone tower located at the highest point in the entire town!
This is indeed the case.

Ten minutes later, Zhu Jue watched the black cat jump into the window on the second floor of the tower along the branch of an old oak tree growing outside the tower, leaving him a wooden branch that was still shaking.

Go in through the window?

This was Zhu Jue's first reaction, and he did exactly that.

Originally, his plan was to find a place to stay first, and then come to find out at night. Who would have thought that the appearance of this black cat would disrupt his plan. Now, whether he wants it or not, the church of Uzzah is in front of him.

Get off the horse and run to the oak tree that the black cat climbed just now. The window on the second floor is not small. As long as Zhu Jue restrains his hands and feet, he can also jump in directly.

Jump up and grab the bottom branch, ready to use your strength to climb higher.

creak~
The gate of the tower opened slowly.

An old man with a beard stretched to his chest and a face full of signs of age was coming out of it with a wooden staff about his height.

After doing three lifts in a row, Zhu Jue fell back to the ground with a flushed (embarrassed) face, looked at the old man who came out of the door, patted the non-existing vegetation debris on his shoulders and said, "I haven't exercised for a long time. , When I saw this kind of tree branch, I wanted to do some exercise to disturb it."

"I think you should be a little tired from exercising. My friend came to me just now, maybe just wanting you to come in and rest for a while."

The old man in a white robe lingered on Zhu Jue's body, and finally chose not to expose the latter's clumsy lie, but continued following Zhu Jue's words.

The black cat that brought Zhu Jue here was standing beside the old man!
"It actually brought me here."

At this point, there is actually nothing to hide. The black cat and the old man obviously know each other.

"It's not it, it's him."

The old man corrected Zhu Jue's speech problems, turned sideways towards the inside of the tower, and with a mysterious smile on his lips, he said in a soft voice,

"Young man from afar, you can call me Atar, if you have time, come and have a drink?"

Zhu Jue thought that "drinking a cup" in the old man's mouth meant going in for a drink of tea, but he didn't refuse after thinking about it. After all, he was going to visit the house. It would be better to go in openly than to sneak in.

He never expected that when he just sat down, the old man who looked like a sage at a glance, or simply put two wooden wine glasses on the table, and said "outrageously" to make Zhu Jue hurry up Take out the moonshine wine and drink two glasses.

Yes, Attar's "drink" refers to drinking.

I still drank Zhu Jue's wine
"Hahaha~ I knew you had moonshine wine on you. I smelled it when I opened the door. Damn it, those rat-like disgusting monsters in the Enchanted Forest, if I hadn't gotten old, I would have dug up that moon tree sooner or later. The weather is really hot recently, if there is no moonshine wine, I will have to climb to the top of the tower to enjoy the coolness later.”

The robe was rolled up to the knees, revealing two hairy legs, drinking half of the shorts, and drank half a glass of moonshine wine in one gulp, Atal said while patting his thigh with a flushed face.

This old man really doesn't drink well
His temper is also quite explosive.
