Sword Sorcery

Chapter 165 Small Town
Whoops~!

A gust of wind blows on Aaron's body, bringing a slightly 'cool' touch. Coupled with the dark and deep sky and the faint sound of wind howling, it makes people feel that summer should be like—— —

It doesn't look like summer in July or August at all, but it looks like a cold, dry winter.

Aaron turned to look at the small town in front of him. It was a lonely and cold town. Only three rows of houses in the center of the town remained. The other houses on the outskirts of the town had become dilapidated. The place.

Even, some houses on the outskirts of the town have collapsed into pieces, becoming a paradise for some wild cats and small animals.

The streets in the town are gray and dirty, and the only way to clean them is in the rain.

It's a pity that the air is relatively humid now, but there is no sign of rain, so the road is covered with sticky mud. When you step on it, you can squeeze out a few air bubbles on the mud surface.

It seems that what Hart said is right, Twilight Town should have been a good-sized town, but unfortunately, the long-term semi-abandoned state has turned Twilight Town into the virtue it is now.

There are very few existing buildings in the whole town. Aaron scanned the three rows of houses in the center of the town at a glance, and found that apart from more than 30 ordinary houses, there was only one grocery store in the whole town. Hotel' - This place is so run down it's an insult to the word 'hotel'.

"It's really deserted. It seems that this Twilight Town only has more than 100 people at best?"

Aaron shook his head and walked towards the only 'hotel' in the town.

This is a 'hotel' that doesn't look much different from an ordinary house. If it weren't for the sign with the icon of 'wine glass and wagon' hanging on the house, Aaron probably wouldn't be able to recognize its true function.

Squeak~!

Aaron pushed open the door of the tavern, and the dilapidated wooden door made a creaking sound, which was better than ringing the bell, and reminded the owner quite timely that a guest was coming.

In less than a few seconds, a middle-aged boss with a big belly came down from the stairs with a surprised expression on his face. He probably didn't expect any customers to come here.

"Hi, welcome to Twilight Bar."

The middle-aged boss walked to the bar counter, took out a rag from under the counter, and wiped it on the counter.

It's a pity that the dust on the countertop is so thick that the rag is stuck to it after a yard.
"All right."

The middle-aged boss simply gave up on cleaning up and complained to Aaron: "Welcome to this damn place, sir, what kind of service do you need? Food, accommodation, or 'other' services? If What you need is the latter."

"With all due respect, there is no 'other' service in this damn place."

"If you really need 'service', you can try to find other residents of this town, such as those ladies who are close to 40 years old, I am afraid they are still interested in earning an 'extra money'-as long as you can afford it Got that 'experience'."

The middle-aged boss's expression is very helpless, it seems that he has completely given up any hope for the bad situation of this place.

"A room that is clean and tidy and at least not too dirty, and a dinner that is at least passable."

Considering the 'performance' of the middle-aged boss, Aaron had to lower the standard a little bit - after all, there was only this 'hotel' in the whole town.

After finishing speaking, Aaron took out a few gold coins from the bag and threw them to the middle-aged boss in the air.

The middle-aged owner hurriedly caught the gold coin, bit his teeth, and after confirming the authenticity, he immediately changed into a happy smile, and responded: "Don't worry, sir, don't look at the appearance of this tavern. In fact, Upstairs room was very clean.”

Speaking of this, the middle-aged boss felt a little embarrassed, hurriedly found a bucket, went back and poured some clean water.

Then, the middle-aged boss roughly cleaned the entire bar table with a rag dipped in clean water, and only then did it look like a tavern.

"Well, believe me, the upstairs room is still very clean."

The middle-aged boss shrugged and continued: "As for the diet, I can only provide a bean stew and bread tonight, but I also eat this stuff myself, and you can rest assured about the safety of the food. "

"If you have no objection, then I will continue to make dinner. You can rest assured about the amount of food. There are still enough beans and meat in the kitchen. If you add it to the pot and cook it on high heat, I guarantee that you can enjoy it with me. A wonderful dinner."

Aaron acquiesced to the other party's proposal, so the middle-aged boss poured Aaron a large glass of ale, turned around and went back to the kitchen to continue working - there was only ale left in the whole tavern, which showed how bad the situation was.

Aaron gently shook the glass of turbid and crude ale, and sipped it without hesitation, thinking about the relevant information pried out of Hilton's mouth at the beginning——

The entrance to Magic Mirror Manor is in Twilight Town.

However, there are regulations and restrictions on the opening time of the Magic Mirror Manor. The entrance to the manor will only be opened at 8:[-] pm on August [-] every year, and it will last for about [-] hours.

Once the duration is up, the manor entrance will close by itself.

This means that if the intruder does not have time to come out before 6:[-] the next morning, he will be trapped inside the Magic Mirror Manor until the next year when the Magic Mirror Manor reopens, and the entrance to the manor will reopen. appear.

By that time, the intruder must have died without even a scum left.

As for the possibility of surviving in the magic mirror manor for a year and coming out through the entrance of the manor?
Don't think about it, it is absolutely impossible.

This is not a joke, because according to the information provided by Hilton, Magic Mirror Manor is likely to be a resource base for ancient wizards——

Ancient Ruins!

There are countless traps in the ancient ruins, as well as dazzling resources, even for formal wizards, it is a place worth taking risks and full of dangers.

It is impossible for any existence in the realm of witches to survive in the ancient ruins for a year.

However, the ancient ruins are also full of opportunities. Since Hilton got "Rite of Pride" in it, Aaron must give it a try, and maybe he can get something better.

In particular, 'Magic Mirror Manor' is currently a hidden location, and has not been discovered by any wizarding academy——

The scheduled opening of the 'Magic Mirror Manor' made it difficult to find its existence. Even the wizard students sent by the Wizarding Academy to investigate the disappearance, if it didn't coincidentally hit the opening time, they probably couldn't find any clues.

"There are still three days left before the opening of the Magic Mirror Manor. I have to make some preparations in advance."

While Aaron was thinking, the middle-aged boss came out with a large pot of bean stew, and slapped it in front of Aaron. A strong smell of meat came out, which made Aaron move his index finger.

"It smells good, Boss, it seems that your craftsmanship is not bad."

Aaron raised his head while talking, but the next moment, his pupils suddenly shrank——

There is nothing in front of me, where is the figure of the middle-aged boss?
All that's left is a pot of bean stew that's steaming hot
