Chapter 36 Haunted
The bright moonlight sprinkled on the alleys of Shizhong City, and melodious music came from the tavern, like a nocturne.

Through the window, you can see the stove inside burning brightly, emitting a warm glow.

The wooden sign on the door reads 'Golden Ale Tavern'.

Su Nan pushed open the wooden door and walked in, and the hustle and bustle immediately hit him.

The air was filled with the scent of hormones, mixed with a strong smell of alcohol.

The rude men were playing finger-guessing games and drinking, while the seductively dressed maids were carrying plates and moving between the tables and chairs, their white thighs dazzling the eyes.

Su Nan found a table in the corner and sat down with ease, then took out a few silver coins and stuffed them into the chest of a passing maid.

"same as usual."

The maid winked at him and then brought him a glass of ale and some food.

Beer has a low alcohol content, no aroma, a rough taste, turbid liquid, and a sour taste, but even such a drink is a rare enjoyment for the lower class people, and most people are satisfied with just ordering one glass.

Sunan seldom drinks, but the ones he has tasted are mostly top-quality liquors. The inferior beer in the pub is really unpalatable to him.

The food is also cooked in the simplest way, without any seasonings such as pepper, MSG, soy sauce, honey, butter, etc. It is just a matter of applying salt after cooking and grilling.

In this world, sugar is a luxury item, and spices are extremely expensive, and basically only appear on the tables of nobility.

The reason why Sunan ordered beer and food was just to suit the occasion and avoid being too conspicuous in the tavern.

Under normal circumstances, a tavern is a good place to brag and show off. Here you can hear all kinds of drunkards bragging about their glorious past experiences. So after coming to Shizhong City, Sunan would come to the tavern every evening to sit for a while and get some information.

The rest of the time was spent secretly investigating the Spark Cult's stronghold in Stone Bell City, which was discovered from the interrogation of the Black Sword Knight.

Unfortunately, there was no harvest for three consecutive days.

"If we still can't find out anything tonight, we'll arrest someone and interrogate him."

Su Nan pondered silently.

At this moment, the conversation at the next table suddenly came into my ears.

"Have you heard that Lord Cubero's manor in the north of the city is haunted?"

"Ghost? Stop talking nonsense. How could there be ghosts in this world?"

"I'm serious. My brother-in-law is a soldier under Lord Kubero. After the manor was haunted, Lord Kubero moved out. Later, he sent a few knights in, but no one came out after several days. Now the whole manor is blocked!"

"Is it true? Even the knight is dead?"

"If it really is a ghost, it's normal that the knight can't defeat it."

"By the way, is that ghost a man or a woman?"

"Why, Lance, are you interested in female ghosts too?"

"Hey, if she's pretty, that's not a problem."

The group of people burst into laughter, and the topic quickly turned to women and their lower bodies.

Su Nan on the side had a thoughtful expression.

As for ghosts, they do exist in this world.

The most common one is ghost.

Generally speaking, people who die suddenly are most likely to transform into ghosts.

Ghosts appear to be the same as they were in life, and in most cases show signs of violence inflicted at the time of death.

However, the harm caused by ghosts is very low. Even if they possess humans, they will only make people feel cold.

It is also difficult for normal humans to see ghosts.

In addition, ghosts cannot be exposed to sunlight. They will become weak and powerless in the sunlight and will soon turn into ashes.

Even without sunlight, ghosts generally cannot survive for long in the material world.

If ghosts are considered harmless, then vengeful spirits are truly capable of killing people.

The resentful souls usually harbored extremely strong hatred during their lifetime, so much so that they could not rest in peace even after death, but instead transformed into undead creatures that only wanted revenge.

A formed resentful spirit can absorb the energy of humans by contacting them, or control humans with weaker willpower through mental hypnosis.

This kind of incorporeal creature is immune to physical damage and is very deadly to ordinary people. Only knights who have mastered fighting spirit can harm them. If the resentful spirit kills enough humans and absorbs enough soul energy, it will advance into a powerful evil spirit.

Evil spirits usually have the property of being earthbound, and will occupy a piece of land and transform it into a ghost domain.

A fully formed evil spirit is not afraid of sunlight or physical damage. Not to mention a knight, even a great knight may not be able to deal with it.

Above the evil spirits, there are also evil spirits, deformed forms of evil spirits, and so on.

Among them, evil spirits are terrifying beings that are capable of bringing disaster to a country.

The appearance of every evil spirit is often accompanied by the demise of a country.

Judging from what those drunkards said just now, if the Cubero Manor is really haunted, it is most likely caused by evil spirits.

"Evil spirit?"

Su Nan was slightly moved.

Evil spirits are good materials for making soul crystals.

If he could get a soul crystal, he would be able to create a puppet more powerful than the Black Rock Leopard.

"Forget it, let's focus on the Spark Cult for now. We can investigate the evil spirits later."

After listening to the information for a while, Su Nan stood up and walked towards the second floor.

The Golden Wheat Tavern also provides accommodation services, and he has been staying in the tavern's room these days.

Not far away, several waitresses were whispering as they stared at Su Nan's back as he went upstairs.

"I guess he must be a noble. He is more elegant and handsome than the second young master Erwin I met before."

"How can Master Erwin compare to him? Yesterday I accidentally touched his arm, and wow, he was so muscular. He obviously doesn't look strong, but I didn't expect him to be so well-built."

"Is the little girl in heat?"

"Bah, I don't believe you won't be moved!"

"Hehe, if you really want to, just go knock on someone's door at night and use the excuse of asking if they want a massage. Maybe you can have some casual sex."

"That's a good idea, Sandy. If you don't go, I'll be rude to you."

"I didn't say I wouldn't go. Wait, I'm going to try him out tonight!"

A group of waitresses were laughing and making a lot of noise, which attracted many of the drinkers around to cast fiery glances at them.

late at night.

Sandy deliberately changed into a shorter maid's uniform, lowered her collar, came to the room where Sunan lived, and knocked on the door.

blah blah blah!

No one responded.

"Guest, do you need a massage?"

Sandy knocked a few more times, but still no one responded.

"Did he fall asleep?"

Sandy was suddenly discouraged.

At this moment, the door of the next room creaked open, and a man stuck his head out. When he saw Sandy, an obscene smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Does your tavern offer massage services? Give me one too!"

Sandy glanced at the man's fleshy face and said expressionlessly, "Sorry, the bar doesn't have this kind of service."

“But I clearly heard it just now.”

"You heard wrong!"

Without waiting for the man to respond, Sandy turned and left without looking back.

At this moment, Su Nan's room was already empty.
