Chapter 184
"I'm so sad. Is it so unhappy to meet me by chance? Wow, we obviously had such a good relationship before."
Shona, this...
Are you angry?
"No, look how happy I am to see you."
He subconsciously performed a face change.
But was interrupted by Shona——
She placed her fingers gently on her lips.
"No, I know. You really don't like such 'arranged coincidences', or perhaps to use your words, 'fate'? Right?"
Shona is still the same Shona who understands him and cares about him from a very "unexpected" perspective.
Shona who is mysterious but believes everything he says.
"However, precisely because of this, at least you won't be alone in this strange town, facing the 10th Castlevania alone."
"That's right. There isn't even a second adventurer in this place where nothing matters."
"And, there will always be someone to remind you..."
Shona stretched out her hand, pulled up the hood that Will had taken off because he had relaxed his vigilance because he was alone here, and put it on his head.
"Be careful not to expose yourself."
After doing all this, Xiuna pointedly flicked her fingers to his side.
Will just discovered...
Although there are no other adventurers here, his missing person notice has been posted on the bulletin board.
The claws of the royal family have already reached here!
"There's no one else...it doesn't matter."
"besides……"
Shona tore up the commission in front of her.
The fine fragments fell to the ground along with the dust that continued to fall under the sun, and merged with the thin layer of dust on the ground. It may be that no one will clean it for many years. Shona tore up the commission today.
"I don't want two salaries, I'm still a member of Qiming Star."
"So you see, fate isn't all bad, right?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tsemaat town, night.
After entering the night, the town of Tsemaat becomes even more deserted.
There is no commercial street or snack bar. Most of the residents here are self-sufficient small farmers here - the Adventurers Association has not opened any stores here.
Shona didn't mention much information about the "Tenth Castlevania" to him. According to her, she had been here for two days and had a very clear understanding of this dungeon, and it was very interesting. He had to let him know it by himself. To "discover".
so……
They only discussed Treya's Entak sword skills and how the Entak royal family obtained this power.
It was nightfall and it was time for the two of them to eat.
"Xuna, what did you eat these two days? Did you go hunting and cook by yourself? Or did you eat and drink at the residents' houses?"
"Of course you hunt on your own!"
"ah?"
"You're kidding. Eating and drinking at a resident's house - if you had to choose, it's about the same as this?"
"What does almost mean?"
Shona took a few steps towards the end of the road.
Then……
stopped.
Pointing behind her...
The house number of the 10th Castlevania.
The doors of each dungeon were built by the monsters in the dungeon themselves at night, and are full of their own characteristics.
The door number of this dungeon...
Why is it so bright at night? The printed words "The Tenth Castlevania" sparkled in the dark night and among the dark green lush branches——
Just like the neon lights in a nightclub.
"In the evening, I usually choose to eat here."
"ah?"
"This is... this wonderful place in the underground city. It is probably also where it hides its secrets."
"It...is more like...a...dungeon for people to have fun and relax?"
"...Amusement park?"
"Wow, that's a good word, just use it!"
Chapter 209 The Tenth Castlevania x Mountain Village Dungeon√
I just walked through the door of the dungeon.
Entering the "inner" space of the dungeon, a white light flashed before Will's eyes.
Then……
In front of him is a bright hall with neatly arranged tables, chairs and benches in red and black colors.
As the 10th Castlevania is an underground city in the remote town of Zermatt, it is naturally difficult to see adventurers here.
but……
This place definitely cannot be called "deserted".
"Welcome! Hey hey, what a... what a distinguished guest!"
"You two, come this way. The largest and most luxurious seats are prepared for you two."
Because the low-level "devil" just described was holding the menu board, shaking its small wings and pointed tail, and sticking out its bright red tongue, approaching.
And the little devil flying in the air like this...
At first glance, there are more than a dozen?
Then reach inside.
Click!
Click!
Click!
In the already bright hall, a few more reddish warm-toned lights were turned on, suddenly illuminating the seats in the distance as if they were gold.
When Will was still in a daze "This is really the first level of the dungeon", he found that he had been grabbed by his clothes by the demon behind him and hung in mid-air.
It only takes a few minutes...
The two of them sat on the seats far away.
"Hello, please look at the menu. Sorry, we don't know how to write in human language, so we can only draw the dishes."
A small hand stretched out from the edge of the table, and then gently slid the "menu" in front of the two.
What is this...?
The one standing under the table is a slightly more "advanced" demon.
Her wings are relatively small, and her skin is white, close to that of humans. Except for the horns and tail on her head, she still retains some characteristics, more like a "monster girl with demonic elements".
She looks like a human of seven or eight years old. Because the table is like a high table in a bar, she even has to tiptoe to carry the menu up.
"This..."
Will didn't know what to say for a while.
In a deserted village at the foot of the mountain where only ordinary residents live.
There is a mysterious place that only lights up at night.
And the service staff inside are all weird demons with wings on their backs.
...
It sounds like some urban legend.
But...
It really happened in Zemat Town.
Will was indeed surprised at first, but compared to the surprise of "this weird appearance", he was more surprised by...
How could the entertainment of the dungeon that the Systrom family had dreamed of be realized in such a remote village dungeon?
Will was a little...
dare not move.
He always felt that whether ordering food or playing here, it was part of the "trap" of this dungeon.
They are demons, how could they have a good heart? !
And Shuna slid the menu in front of Will.
Looking at the menu...
The same red and black things were drawn on it. The red ones were the blood of things, and the black ones were some kind of "ingredients" they used to cook. For a moment, it was really hard to tell what ingredients they used.
For example, a black mass with brain patterns printed on it.
It looked a bit like looking up at the stars.
There was also a plate of food made of eyeballs.
Even the bread was a big black piece.
"Do we really want to order from inside?" Will lowered his voice, "I say, Shuna, is there anything wrong here?"
"Haha, I really like your expression of being at a loss. Don't worry, I've eaten it. Although it looks strange, it unexpectedly restores the original taste of this dish. It's okay to fill your stomach. If your stomach is uncomfortable, I can treat it for you."
Shuna actually said it with a smile!
"No, no, I mean... I mean... Isn't this a trap? We are already in an illusion... or something like that?"
Will had just finished speaking when Shuna's fingers pinched his face.
Shuna's fingers were unexpectedly delicate, unlike some old adventurers who always hold swords, causing their hands to be rough and scarred.
"Do you feel it?"
Will wanted to play a joke.
"No."
Shuna pinched him hard again.
"Okay, okay, it hurts now."
At this moment, a little head popped out from the place where the menu had just been delivered. It was the little devil who brought the menu.
"Guest... Guest... Please, please don't look down on us. Although we know that the food we cook is a little unpalatable... But... But we will definitely not harm you..."
She sounded like she was about to cry!
Tears were already welling up in her eyes!
Almost falling.
