The lord is red again.

Chapter 492 Then he and they lived a happy life
A pleasant networking dinner, literally.

Lind was well-fed, not literally, but he was well-fed in spirit.

Living in a bizarre fairy-tale world, he instinctively felt uncomfortable. This awkward feeling was even more uncomfortable than the first time he knew he was an NPC in the game.

As an NPC and a red-name monster, he at least has a set of logic that conforms to the operation of the world. For example, he will gain experience when he is killed by the undead, and there are ways to upgrade, potions for changing jobs, and so on.

But fairy tales are different, there is no need to make sense at all.

He returned to the hotel and lay down on his bed. He did not appear again for the rest of the day, but only showed up at the bonfire party in the evening.

The fire flickered.

The moonlight was beautiful tonight and a gentle breeze blew through the forest, shaking the leaves and making a rustling sound.

Fireflies are like stars plucked from the Milky Way in the sky, floating down and landing on the tip of the nose. People will subconsciously stare at them with squinted eyes, observe the breathing of the fireflies and finally laugh.

The sound of sizzling grilled steaks sounds delicious.

When Lind came downstairs, it was already bustling outside. Women were twisting their waists happily. After a while, a man came forward and invited them to dance.

Although Lind forced a smile on his face, he seemed a little out of place in the atmosphere here. In a "fairy tale world", he should be a cold-blooded hunter, a cold-blooded killer, and a villain who aids and abets evil.

Fortunately, no one here thinks there is a problem for the time being.

The children came over and circled around Lind, and he gave them handfuls of precious candies.

The "poor people in the village" who are so poor that they can only eat "gray meat" and wear "patched suits" are naturally poor and cannot afford expensive candies.

Very reasonable.

"Traveller, sit here."

He was invited to sit down, and then delicious food was brought to him. It was sizzling grilled meat, sprinkled with unknown spices. The appearance and taste were far better than the dinner last night.

Linde didn't hesitate and ate with relish.

He could not eat, as there were so many ways for him to replenish his body's energy loss. He could also eat, but with his current body's powerful digestive ability, if he only used the most ordinary food to supply his body's loss, he would need to eat like crazy all the time.

The energy consumed in digesting food and maintaining body functions may be more than the energy consumed in eating.

The fruit was very beautiful. As soon as Lind held the rosy red apple in his hand, he could smell a sweet and sour taste that made his saliva rise. The skin was thin and made a crisp "crunch" sound when he bit it with his teeth.

Then the sweet apple juice burst into my throat.

He finished the meal in just a few bites.

If for no other reason than to enjoy the unique delicacies of the Moon Kingdom, Lind felt that he must seize the divine power here.

"Want to go dance together?"

A man next to Lind stood up and walked towards a girl. The two danced with good-natured laughter, and Lind clapped along with everyone else.

"Are they a couple?" Lind asked the man next to him.

The man was confused: "What?"

"A pair of lovers." Linde pointed at the two people dancing.

There were many people dancing at the bonfire party, but no one danced better than them, they were like professional dancers.

There are only twenty or so people in this small village, but it's really full of hidden talents.

"No, of course they are not. Today is the first time they dance together." The man shook his head and said with a smile, "But who can tell in the future, right?"

Lind nodded, but he didn't believe it in his heart.

How could you dance so well in your first collaboration?
The bonfire party continued, and under the urging of everyone, Lind had to stand up and choose a dance partner.

There weren't many people at the scene who hadn't danced before.

There was also a girl with red hair, a girl with blonde hair, and a girl with black hair.

They were pretty, but not really in line with Lind's aesthetic.

Linde's eyes moved, and finally he walked towards the red-haired girl. As a nobleman, even though he hadn't danced for a few years, he would never be outdone by a country girl.

Bend down, extend your hand in invitation.

When the other person's fingers landed on Lind's right hand, he smiled, his appearance unable to reveal his inner surprise.

The two danced gracefully, and after their hands touched, surprise turned into confusion.

"Are you from the outside world? Do you have any wonderful stories or experiences?"

The red-haired girl looked up at Lind. Under the light of the campfire, her somewhat tough features gradually softened.

"Of course." Lind slowly moved closer and gently rubbed the tip of his nose against the other's.

The crowd seemed to enjoy watching the affectionate act, and some people were cheering.

Lind took the opportunity to hug the other person's waist, gently exerting force, and the doubts in his heart became even heavier.

"What do you want to hear?"

Linde suddenly swung his hand and threw the red-haired girl out in a difficult posture, then pulled her arm and made her spin back into his arms.

"Some, stories."

"I heard a story, and seeing you reminded me of that story, the story of Little Red Riding Hood."

"Little Red Riding Hood?" The red-haired girl suddenly became interested and looked at him with eyes that could reflect the stars.

"Well, it's a very sinister story, I'm sure of it!"

Lind was halfway through telling the story of Little Red Riding Hood, and then he deliberately stopped: "Excuse me, our dance is over."

The red-haired girl was eager to know what happened next, but she held back.

After returning to the crowd, she turned her head several times to look in Lind's direction.

The man sitting next to Lind whispered, "That girl has taken a fancy to you."

Linde sighed regretfully, "It's a pity that I seem to have fallen in love with the blonde girl."

"Then ask her to dance."

"May I?"

“It’s just a bonfire party and you can invite anyone.”

Lind invited the blonde girl to dance again, and without letting her ask any questions, he took the initiative to talk about "Snow White", but also stopped abruptly at the key part.

Just like in the story of Little Red Riding Hood, he stopped the story when Little Red Riding Hood went to her grandmother's house. The same is true for Snow White. Did the princess eat the poisoned apple?

Sitting back again, two girls kept looking at him.

"That girl also likes you." The man was surprised.

A very charming traveler.

Lind didn't feel ashamed at all and said bluntly: "It's a pity that I seem to like the girl with black hair more."

Then he stood up and walked towards the black-haired girl in everyone's surprised eyes.

As expected, when Lind stopped dancing, three girls fixed their eyes on him and did not intend to look away.

Is this the end? Of course not.

Lind walked over to the girl who danced very well at the beginning.

There were four people watching him now.

There are only four unmarried girls in the entire village!
"No matter what the story is, the character I play will never be a good guy." Lind smiled.

Through physical contact with the four girls, he has discovered the problem here.

These people like to listen to stories, and the reason behind it is unknown, but it is certain that it is different from the Moon Kingdom that the Twin Swords Prince knows. Some people will take the initiative to invite him to dinner for the stories outside, and even the whole village will hold a bonfire dinner for him. The girls are attracted by his stories.

But the problems he discovered were not limited to this. For example, the red-haired girl he came into contact with had a very strong body, with calluses on the knuckles from years of sword practice, and when she stood, her legs were slightly apart, making her look like a soldier.

The blonde girl had a faint fragrance, fair skin and no calluses on her fingers. She was a pampered lady, and the way she walked proved it.

The black-haired girl should be an ordinary rural girl. Lind found many needle holes on her fingers, which means she often does sewing and mending. Her body is the strongest among the four girls. She must often do heavy work and has some fat on her belly.

As for the last one, Lind didn't guess what the other person did, but he noticed that when he danced with her, the effect was far inferior to that of her and that very well-matched partner.

Lind thought he was a decent dancer, so why couldn't he be as good as the two people who were "dancing together for the first time?"

I am normal, but those two are abnormal. This is not the first time, but countless times.

Then it came to storytelling. It was obvious that the bonfire party was not important, nor was dancing. The most important part was letting Lind tell the story.

Linde thought about it and told the story of "The Three Little Pigs" in full, deliberately leaving out the human part.

No one was satisfied, but Lind wasn't ready to go on.

"I'm sleepy. When my brain is sleepy, I can't concentrate. Yawn~, thank you all for your hospitality. I'll tell you stories next time. Next time for sure!"

He got up and left directly.

He had some vague guesses about what would happen next.

As the night deepened, the crowd dispersed.

Sleeping soundly in the room.

Linde woke up at dawn and walked out slowly. The air today felt fresher than yesterday. He even had an urge to stay here forever, never leave, and become a part of this place.

"Oh no!" A child came running over anxiously. Linde had some impression of him.

"Oh no! Sister Ella was taken away by the terrible witch in the forest."

The little guy was out of breath.

The villagers around who heard his voice gathered around and discussed the matter.

Lind asked, "Who is Rilla?"

"The girl you danced with last night."

"There were four people dancing with me last night." Lind turned around, and sure enough, he didn't find four dance partners.

He looked down at the little guy and said, "Little friend, if you tell a lie, the big bad wolf will eat you."

A terrible witch kidnapped a young girl. How did you get back? That's nonsense!
If it was a foreign traveler who rescued the girl he met at the dance, went deep into danger, and then... it shouldn't be just one person who disappeared, he had 4 dance partners last night!
"Oh no! Sister Ginny was taken away by the terrible witch in the forest."

"..."

"Oh no! Sister Shelly was taken away by the scary witch in the forest."

"..."

"Oh no! Sister Sina was taken away by the terrible witch in the forest."

"..."

Very good, all four dance partners were taken away by the witch. Fortunately, there were enough children, otherwise the actors would have to appear again when the witch gave the tip-off.

So the next plot should be that a powerful foreign traveler goes deep into the forest and duels with the witch in order to save his beloved.

"I'll go save them," said Lind.

"No, it's too dangerous. That witch has terrible magic. She can turn people into lambs and brew terrible potions."

Why didn’t you tell me earlier that there is such a powerful witch who can control and make medicine? We must capture her!
Lind shook his head: "After the four dances last night, I have fallen in love with them."

Everyone: "..."

His expression froze for a moment, as if something was about to break, but it quickly recovered.

"Who tells me the direction?" Lind asked.

"Go deeper into the forest, and you'll see an ugly mushroom house where the witch lives."

"I will rescue them!"

Linde picked up his sword and set off quickly, rushing into the forest under the worried gaze of the villagers.

At first the forest was green and lush, with small animals running through.

But as we went deeper, the tree trunks became dry, the air was filled with smoke, the ground under our feet no longer grew green grass, and even the small animals turned into spiders, lizards, etc.

"How childish! Why do you think lizards are bad and rabbits are good, just because of their appearance?"

Lind looked into the distance, through the shadows of the tree trunks that were shaking and wriggling like black tentacles, and saw the big purple mushroom house.

“The stereotypes are too strong.”

After making another mental comment, Linde hid his tracks and quickly moved to the mushroom house.

"Hehehe~" A strange laugh came from inside.

He looked in through the window and saw the old witch stirring the soup in a huge magic cauldron with a wooden stick. The potion was bubbling and emitting an unpleasant odor.

And in the corner, there are four lambs, it seems that they are the four girls who were turned into sheep.

"3rd ring strength."

Linde kicked the door open and strode in.

"Who are you!" The witch looked at Linde nervously.

"Your death has come!"

Linde stabbed with his sword, and the third-ring witch had no way to die at such a close distance.

When the other person fell, Lind didn't know if he had seen it wrong, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

Then he looked at the four sheep.

Save? No need.

And he won't save.

Just as he was wondering whether to turn around and leave, the four sheep suddenly bleated at him a few times and then kept digging for the soup in the crucible.

"Is this the antidote?" he asked.

The four sheep nodded in unison.

He scooped out four bowls with a spoon and placed them in front of the four sheep. The sheep lowered their heads and drank the antidote. In a burst of brilliant fireworks-like transformation effects, they turned into four girls.

The four of them looked at Lind with affection: "You saved me!"

"You guys, don't you want to pledge your love to me?"

……

And in a study in a distant castle.

On the table, an uncontrolled pen was writing something on the paper.

"...In order to save his dancing partner that night, Mr. Candy, the traveler with golden hair, went deep into the dangerous forest and killed the hateful old witch with his superb skills. He also used magic potion to rescue the murdered girls Rilla, Ginny, Shelly and Sina. From then on, he lived a happy life with them."

The pen stopped, as if it was struggling with something.

It seems that this is not right.
