Thanks for the invitation, I am in the state of collapse, brushing attribute upgrade

"Madam, please bring up any good wine or food you have."

"It's the boss, not the boss lady."

Faced with Gwyn's words and actions that were not polite at all, the tavern owner Raven, who had fair skin and did not look like a peasant woman, lowered her arms, took two steps back to the counter, and knocked on the counter to emphasize.

Chapter 207 Qiya breaks up, but not on the rooftop

Such ravens are more like bartenders in modern bars than ancient tavern owners.

After emphasizing his identity, he saw Gwen nod, and then his expression relaxed slightly, revealing the expression of a businessman.

“The wine here is different from what you drink outside. It comes from the West and is blended with different wines, drinks and ingredients to create different flavors.

Tell me what kind of drink you want, and I'll prepare it for you according to your taste."

"..."

Listening to the raven's explanation, Gwyn's eyelids twitched—

It's confirmed. Regardless of whether this is Yae Village or not, judging from the age of this village, there shouldn't be such a thing as cocktails in Japan, so the owner of this tavern can only be Raven.

I just don't know if he has retained his memories like me, or if he has been influenced by Feiyuwan and become a part of the illusion...

Thinking in his heart, Gwen looked at the raven in front of the counter, met its rose-red eyes, and said casually:

"A Molotov cocktail, then."

"ha?

what is that? "

A look of confusion appeared on the raven's face, and he looked at Gwyn in confusion.

"Why haven't I heard of this kind of wine?"

"...

It’s okay, you heard it wrong.”

Looking at the raven's puzzled expression, which was not false or mixed with surprise, Gwen waved his hand casually.

"Then give me a bowl of hot soup. I'm thirsty after walking for so long."

"Are you sure you don't want to try my wine?

This is the only one of its kind in the entire village, even in the entire Neon!"

The raven seemed dissatisfied that Gwyn was not buying it and continued to try to sell it.

"If you're willing to treat me for free, I'd be happy to do it."

Gwen spread his hands and clearly expressed his meaning -

No money.

"cut……"

Seeing this, the proprietress Raven rolled her eyes and turned around to serve Gwen a bowl of hot water.

"Boss, would you like to sit down and talk?"

When the raven brought the hot water, Gwyn did not let her go, but tried to get some information from her.

"Why do people hide as soon as I enter the village, as if I were some kind of monster?"

As he spoke, Gwen took out a few copper coins from the few in his pocket and placed them on the table.

"Ah……"

Seeing this, the raven raised an eyebrow, but did not hesitate to take it away, then sat down next to Gwen and said with a smile,

"You came at an unfortunate time—

Originally, there was a very powerful witch in this village, and the people here were not afraid of outsiders.

But a few days ago, a swordsman came here and started a fight with a lost girl over a meal. He destroyed a piece of the woods outside the village, causing panic among the villagers.

"Two people fighting and destroying the woods?"

Upon hearing this, Gwen's eyes widened in surprise, but his heart was calm.

“The swordsman and the lost girl… probably Mei and Kiana.

But two days ago...it seems that this place might be Feiyuwan's illusion. It's only a few minutes, but two days have passed..."

"Yes, after you cross the bridge at the entrance of the village, follow the path beside the bridge, turn left, and go straight ahead, you will see traces left by the fight between the two."

The raven seemed very satisfied with the surprised expression of Gwyn, the unconvinced guest, and said with a somewhat smug smile.

"Forget it, let's talk about it when we have time."

In response, Gwen just shook his head and continued to inquire about the situation -

"Come to think of it, now that I'm sitting here with you, I still don't know what this village is called..."

"Yae Village."

Raven answered immediately, pointing to the shrine in front.

"Because there is a shrine in this village that has been passed down from generation to generation, it is said to have inherited special divine powers.

Ah……

A few years ago, it didn't rain at all. The previous lord sacrificed his little daughter, and that day it rained heavily."

Although he was talking about divine power, Gwyn could only read a strong sense of sarcasm from the other party's tone and expression.

"They're actually using human sacrifices?"

Gwyn frowned, his hand unconsciously touching his sword, looking very excited.

"Well, that's what the previous Lord did anyway."

Raven nodded casually and said meaningfully,

“As for the current witches, they seem to be able to fight a little better, but not as well as the two who caused such a big commotion outside the village before.

So... hey... you get the idea."

The raven said this with a grin full of sarcasm, and glanced at the village behind, his meaning was self-evident.

"Thanks……"

Gwen's face was serious, no longer as casual as before. He took out two copper coins and placed them on the table. He drank the bowl of hot water in front of him.

"One last question, what's your name, Madam Boss?"

"Natasha, Natasha Sciora."

Raising her eyebrows in surprise, Natasha casually collected the copper coins on the table.

"The Russians just moved here from across the sea a few years ago. They happened to catch the tail end of the sacrifice and only then did they learn about this."

"Thanks."

Gwyn nodded, stood up with his sword in hand, and quietly straightened the slightly tilted blade in his hand, and walked towards the shrine above.

"I advise you to be careful. This shrine... does have 'divine power'."

"Thanks for the reminder, it's no trouble."

Gwen waved without looking back and walked up the stairs.

It was completely confirmed that this was Yae Village, and it was also the dreamland that Feiyumaru used to torture Yae Sakura. Gwen couldn't help but feel a little heavy in his heart -

The Sakura cycle in the game can be repeated countless times, but God knows if there is a chance for this dream to start again.

Therefore, Gwen now urgently wants to know what the status of Yaezakura here is like—

Should I face Feiyuwan's teasing in complete ignorance, or be teased by him knowing everything?

If it is the latter, then breaking the deadlock should not be difficult.

But if it's the former...

With great worry in his heart, Gwyn walked into the shrine.

However, in this Yae Shrine, the first person Gwyn saw was not Yae Sakura without donkey ears, but two girls sitting face to face, staring at each other as if they wanted to kill each other with their eyes.

"Hmph!"*2

Noticing someone coming, the two of them glanced at each other at the same time, then retracted their gazes, glared at each other again, and snorted coldly together.

"..."

Looking at the two people who were obviously angry with each other, Gwen felt a little strange in his heart -

Qiya breaks up, but not Tiantai.

It’s a pity that Gwyn didn’t dare to call out the system at will because he was worried that Feiyuwan might notice it. Otherwise, he would have taken two photos as a commemoration.

While Kiana and Mei continued to play "you glare at me and I glare at you", the owner here also noticed Gwyn, the uninvited guest.

"Hello, strange traveler."

Looking at Gwyn, who looked very handsome after a simple wash and grooming, and even in tattered clothes, he looked like a prince in distress rather than a ronin, Yaesakura's eyes flashed with surprise, but she did not forget to bow slightly politely to express her welcome to the guest.

Chapter 208 Jingtian Jinglong, online demon removal

"Are you the witch of this place?"

Looking at the pink-haired woman who was wearing a shrine maiden costume that was quite different from the ones in history books and whose identity could be identified at a glance, Gwyn nodded, but his words were a little less polite than Yaesakura's.

"Yes, I am the shrine maiden here, Yaezakura. I wonder who you are..."

Although she was somewhat attracted by Gwyn's appearance, Yaezakura was not a flower maniac after all. She immediately became alert when she noticed the unkindness in Gwyn's words.

"My name is Jingtian Jinglong. I heard that there are demons running rampant here, feeding on young children, so I have come here to slay them."

With a loud bang, Gwyn drew out the long sword from his waist. His face was serious, and he spoke nonsense as if he was telling the truth.

However, Yaezakura's attention was not on Gwyn's knife that might have taken her life. Instead, she looked at Gwyn with a complicated expression and murmured in a barely perceptible voice -

"Demon slaying...demon exorcism?"

"Of course."

Gwen nodded seriously, his face serious. The sword in his hand, which was of questionable quality, gleamed brightly in the sun, looking quite imposing.

"Today, the world is in chaos, people's hearts are no longer as they used to be, malice is growing, and demons are rampant throughout the world.

Some time ago, I had just sealed two ghosts and gods in Suna Mountain and was preparing to destroy them completely, but then I heard that there were demons rampant here, and evil people were causing chaos, even sacrificing young children. I was furious and came here immediately.

Since you are the shrine maiden here, you must know something about the nearby demons. I would like to ask you to point out the demons to me."

"..."

Looking at the righteous demon hunter in front of her, Yae Sakura couldn't help but feel complicated.

However, after staring at Gwyn in silence for a moment, Yaezakura shook her head:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ida, perhaps you just happened to hear some rumors. There are no demons here, just some dangerous beasts at most.

If anyone endangers the lives of the villagers, I will eliminate them all."

Are there demons in Yae Village?

Of course there are.

Yaezakura knew this all too well.

However, this demon was not something that could be dealt with by Gwyn, the so-called demon exorcist who appeared out of nowhere.

"is it?"

In response to this, Gwen's serious expression remained unchanged, his eyes fixed on Yaezakura.

"But why do I smell the scent of a demon here?"
