Helping each other with countless me.

Chapter 457 I have wine, do you have a story?
"Survived."

This was the first thought in Raven's mind.

She is so unlucky.
This was her second thought.

This time she was exploring a ruins-type dungeon.

Based on the various broken walls and ruins that existed, she could infer that these were the remains of a powerful civilization that had fallen.

She has been very careful.

Prevent being targeted by any possible agency.

But what she never expected was that she was defeated by a group of wild cats and almost died there.

They were a group of wild cats that looked normal at first glance.

But after this near-death experience, she knew that anyone who dared to underestimate these wild cats in the future would be tortured to death.

If it weren't for her own strength, which would have considered her a top-tier adventurer in the entire East Country, she might not have been able to escape the encirclement alive.

Simply put, according to her summary.

This group of cat demons have several abnormal abilities.

The first is that they have paralysis properties. Once hit by their attacks, you will be paralyzed for a long time.

The second is that they can control the power of elements. Their attacks can be attached with various elemental powers, and these elemental powers also come with various attributes, such as fire, burning, ice, freezing, and so on.

The third, and most terrifying, is that they can establish a connection with each other and share the damage.
However, there is an old saying on the Eastern side: fortune and misfortune go hand in hand.

I was unlucky enough to encounter such a strange combination, but when I escaped, I saw a hotel somewhere in the dungeon, called Adventurer's House.

She pushed the door open without thinking.

“It’s actually true”

"call"

After a while, she slowly stood up.

The wounds on my body have scabbed over with the help of medication, so there won't be any major problems as long as I don't do strenuous exercise.

Then she really looked around the tavern for the first time.

The boss, or bartender, is a Dongguo native.

However, the overall style seems to be somewhat similar to the Western Middle Ages, but in this Western Medieval style, one can also see the artistic characteristics unique to the East.

"welcome."

Li Zhongren looked at the female adventurer in front of him and said with a smile.

"Hello."

Raven responded in fluent Eastern language.

She has been working in the East for more than ten years. Although she has not yet fully mastered the culture of the East, she has no problem with the language.

"Where is this place? Who are you?"

"As you can see."

Li Zhongren pushed a glass of wine that looked like the galaxy in front of Raven.

"The Adventurer's House opens today. You are my first guest, so this glass of wine is for you."

Raven looked at the glass of wine, took a deep breath, and then picked it up and drank it all.

The reason is very simple. Her current state can be said to be at the end of her strength. If this person has any ideas about her, he could have taken action just now.

"Gulu~~"

After a glass of wine, Raven was stunned.

As was visible to the naked eye, all the injuries on her body had healed. If it weren't for the blood stains and blood scabs that had fallen on the ground, she would have even thought that she was hallucinating.

"This is."

"Invigorating magic wine."

Li Zhongren explained.

"No matter how badly you are injured, as long as it is a physical injury, as long as you are still alive, it can be healed. You are my first customer, so I will give you a cup. If you come later and want to drink, you will have to pay for it."

"So, can you tell me what this is all about? Why haven't I heard of this tavern before?"

"Didn't I tell you? I just opened today. As for this tavern, you can think of it as a superpower. Many adventurers will awaken superpowers, and so will I. My superpower is a tavern that can randomly appear in any dungeon."

"Of course, it's not random. The more you want a place to rest, the more likely my tavern will appear. However, it will only appear after you have left the battle. When you are fighting the BOSS, don't even think about catching bugs."

"I see."

Since it was an ability, Riven was not curious at all. After all, ever since dungeons appeared in this world, all kinds of strange abilities were flying around. She just didn't think about it in this way for the time being.

Because the ability to interact directly with the dungeon is not absent, but it is really not much.

"So, besides this, do you have any other services here?"

Now that his injuries were completely healed, Riven completely relaxed. He sat opposite Li Zhongren and asked curiously.

"For now, I only have this healing wine, but if you can bring me special extraordinary items from the dungeon, I can expand my sales list. I will also provide accommodation services."

Li Zhongren continued.

"Have a drink here and rest your feet. I'll only charge you for the drink, but you can only stay here for a maximum of one hour. You will be automatically asked to leave the pub, but you can spend enough extra money to stay here."

"Extra? Money?"

"No, it's the specialty here, tavern gold coins."

As he spoke, Li Zhongren arranged a few glittering gold coins on the table. They had a simple shape, yet had a certain unique charm.

"In my tavern, any form of service is calculated by the number of times. One service costs one gold coin. And if you have gold coins, as long as you leave the battle, you can call out of my tavern 100% of the time."

"Hu~~"

At that moment, Raven's breathing became rapid. As an old adventurer, many thoughts flashed through her mind at that moment, but the most important one was that the biggest danger for adventurers in the dungeon was logistics.

The emergence of this tavern is like the sound of nature to adventurers, and it can even change the form of adventure.
"So, how do you get gold coins?"

"First, I buy all extraordinary items here. I will give my price based on the rarity and quantity of the extraordinary items."

"Second, I like listening to stories. In fact, my ability to awaken may have something to do with this hobby of mine. I am afraid of danger and I am also a homebody, but I am also very interested in adventure. So, if someone can tell me a story that interests me, I can give him a certain amount of gold coins."

"story."

Hearing this, Raven was stunned, then smiled and shook his head. It was true that if you have the ability, you can do whatever you want.

But it’s right to think about it.

As her strength returned to its peak, she could already feel something different.

For example, in this tavern, she had a vague intuition that as a top adventurer, she would feel a chill down her spine as long as someone had the slightest bit of malice in their heart. This was an intuition honed from countless life-and-death experiences.

What does that mean?

At least in this tavern, the boss's strength is absolutely unbelievable.
Such people naturally have enough capital to be willful.

"But what if I can't tell a story?"

After thinking for a moment, Raven spoke.

"Not everyone has such good eloquence and can tell a gripping story."

"Just drink it."

Li Zhongren put down the extremely clean wine glass in his hand and poured a glass of wine into it. The color was azure blue, as if it were a dream.

"This is."

"Drunkenness, Dreams and Death. After drinking it, you will appear in a dream world. Of course, I will also appear there. How should I put it? It's like a tour guide. You can lead me to repeat a certain experience of yours. Of course, if there are any private parts, you can block them."

"., is this true or not?"

"Well, it's up to you whether you believe it or not." "Okay."

In the end, Raven drank the glass of wine in one gulp.

First of all, she has no hidden secrets.

Secondly, she needed this kind of gold coin so much. It was simply a life-saving straw.

After drinking a glass of wine, Raven suddenly felt dizzy.

Damn, I hope I didn't get scammed.

She thought so before she lost consciousness.

"Where am I??"

Raven opened his eyes and saw a familiar yet strange room. Outside the window, the sun was shining brightly, illuminating the entire room.

A gust of wind blew, and the wind chimes swayed gently.

"This is...my home?"

Raven was somewhat shocked.

"To be precise, it's the home in your memory."

Li Zhongren's voice rang out.

Raven looked over in the direction of the sound and saw a translucent tavern owner floating there, looking around. Raven then realized that he seemed to be translucent as well, and the two of them were like two souls.

"Oh!"

Just then, the door was pushed open.

A girl walked in, threw away her schoolbag as if no one was around, and then fell on the bed with a plop.

“This is me as a kid.”

Raven said with some nostalgia.

"I remember it was when I was twelve years old, but why was it this time?"

"A cup of drunkenness will randomly bring us into a certain stage of your life experience, but no matter which stage it is, it must be the kind that will be unforgettable for you. Only in this way will I be interested, and it will be worth it for me to give you tavern gold coins."

"I see."

Taking a deep breath, Raven nodded.

"Indeed, if you say it is unforgettable, then it is true."

"I think you can put aside your feelings for now and just code it."

"what!!"

Raven was stunned because the past self in the room actually began to take off his clothes.

Surprised, she quickly censored the image.

“It’s my personal habit.”

Raven's face turned red.

"In my own room, I didn't like to wear clothes. Later I found out that it was because I was born with the ability to absorb spiritual energy, which made my body stronger and my body temperature higher than that of ordinary people."

"Raven, it's time to eat."

"I know, Mom, but please let me rest for a while."

Little Raven, with his butt and chest slapping, lay on the bed like Ah Chang, staring blankly at the ceiling. Time passed so quickly that the clock on the wall clearly said half an hour had passed, but it seemed to have passed in the blink of an eye.

“This is one of the abilities of the tavern.”

Li Zhongren explained.

“Life is not a movie. I am only interested in the part with information. So, when it determines that the amount of information in the present time is insufficient, it will automatically speed up.”

"is it?"

Raven seemed to be in a low mood. He wanted to say something but ultimately didn't.

For little Raven, half an hour later.

She stood up and put on her clothes.

Getting ready for her dinner.

But when she opened the door and walked downstairs, what did she see?
Saw her mother.

To be exact, it was her mother's body.

He was twisted in a strange posture, with a distorted face, as if he had suffered endless torture, but he didn't make a sound, he was unable to make a sound.

However, what was really touching was that her eyes were fixed on the second floor, which was exactly Raven's room.
"what!!!"

At that moment, little Raven let out a scream, and her body began to turn red visibly, a manifestation of extreme emotional excitement.

"boom!!!"

Finally, a wave of energy that seemed like air burst out from little Riven's body, filling the surroundings like an ocean wave. Everything visible to the naked eye, even the walls, flew away under the impact of this air wave!
And under such an impact, there seemed to be a human-shaped creature, faintly revealing its shape.

At that moment, little Raven seemed to have a sudden inspiration. He put his mother down and rushed towards the "thing" like a tank.

"boom!"

Originally, the hand, that thing that looked like a ghost, should not be touched by humans, but at this moment, little Raven's body was still constantly emitting that unique aura.

Then she crashed into the ghost like a truck.

It penetrated the kitchen wall, penetrated the wall of the house, went into the garage, went out of the garage, and hit the backyard of the house heavily.

"Die to me!!"

Ride on the ghost.

Little Raven's fists smashed down like raindrops.

With every blow, the ground shook.

At the same time, the ghostly thing will also dissipate a little.
I don’t know how many times I hit it.

The ghost is finally broken
Completely dissipated.

Little Raven seemed to have lost all his strength and sat there blankly.
Raven was wrapped in a blanket.

There were several foreigners around her. From their attire and the brooches on their chests, one could tell that they were from the Bald Eagle Empire's Superpower Committee, responsible for matters related to the internal superpowers. They seemed to be talking to each other.

"So, what's going on?"

On the side, Li Zhongren asked, if many things are to be summarized afterwards, it would be more direct for the person himself to say it.

"A wizard is collecting souls."

Raven said.

"Then why didn't he just take your soul, but seemed to be waiting for you."

"Because of the value."

Raven took a deep breath and continued.

"The value of a soul lies not in the soul itself, but in what it carries, just like you love to listen to stories. To be honest, I doubt whether you are the same. But in our world, the more a soul is twisted, tortured, and in pain, the higher its value. That wizard deliberately waited just to make me suffer."

"and after?"

"That's another story."

Raven opened her eyes, her dream was shattered, and she woke up too.

"So, how many gold coins is this story of mine worth?"
