Probably because there haven't been many customers recently, the shop owner is quite enthusiastic.
Canxing forked the bacon on the plate and asked as if he suddenly remembered something: "Speaking of...how is the war in the south now?"
Hearing Canxing's question, the boss didn't look worried. He just sighed and said, "That's it! They beat their brains out, and our taxes have to be increased! There is no income in the first place. , and you have to pay more.”
Canxing was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then decided to ask in a different direction.
"How long ago was the last time you saw a Southern businessman?"
The shop owner seemed to have just complained and didn't pay too much attention to what he was saying. At this time, he heard Canxing's another question and frowned slightly, then took a breath of cold air.
"So, it's true that the businessmen I'm familiar with haven't been here for a long time, but I'm not sure when it started. After all, although the south is still fighting, they purchase materials from here and resell them to the south. There are still a lot of people...”
"So, where are the victims?"
"Victims of the disaster are still coming one after another."
"Speaking of which, what are you here for?" the store owner asked curiously, "Aren't they all running from south to north now? There aren't many people running from north to south anymore!"
"We're going to Wales, I heard it's pretty good there."
The boss nodded as if he suddenly understood.
"Also... The lord of Wells is from the princess faction and did not participate in the war. Wells is also calmer. The Immortal Fortress is still too cold, and it borders the Demon King's Territory. Who knows if those demons will I’ll have ideas there.”
However, the conversation could not continue because a new customer came to the restaurant.
The boss stood up and walked over, greeting the guests with a smile.
The visitor was dusty and covered his face with a cloth, revealing only a pair of bloodshot eyes.
It seemed that their voices had become hoarse because of the long journey.
"Guest, what do you need-"
"I need water and food. The sooner the better." He took out the cloth bag from his arms with trembling hands, but it fell to the ground because of the shaking hands. When he bent down to pick up the cloth bag, There was a sway.
Canxing supported him with quick eyes and hands, and then asked with concern: "You don't look good...Did something happen to you?"
The man did not reveal anything, but thanked Canxing briefly, and then sat down at the table with difficulty.
The shop owner also quickly brought out some simple food, providing some convenient meals for the man in front of him who seemed to be in a bad condition.
Canxing glanced at the man thoughtfully, then sat back at the dining table.
"This man is a little strange." I said softly, "He seems to have traveled a long time, but the surrounding towns are already quite dense."
The vast plains and suitable climate make the central region quite suitable for the establishment of agriculture and plantations, so there are quite a few reclaimed wastelands and gradually turned into concentrated towns.
Different from the northern region, the towns in the northern region were mostly formed by immigrants who could not afford the living standards in the original towns, while the central region was built around reclaiming wasteland.
Although the town we are in now is more prepared for adventurers.
The thief stood up after hearing this, showed a "leave it to me" expression, and walked towards the man.
"Brother, are you from the south? I heard it's very bad there -"
"Don't touch me!" the man yelled, shaking away the thief's hand that was trying to get closer.
His eyes were filled with red, and he looked like an angry bull.
However, after he shook off the thief's hand, he seemed to realize that this was a bit excessive. After being stunned for a moment, he said in a slow tone: "Sorry... I don't want to talk to others."
After speaking, he lowered his head, frowned and quickly and firmly stuffed the food into his mouth.
Something is wrong, very wrong.
He was obviously very hungry when he first entered the store, but now he was eating the food as if he was disgusted.
However, he had to eat - or in other words, he was forcing himself to eat.
Canxing's face was quite serious at the moment. He frowned slightly and put his hand on the magic book. However, after a moment of magic fluctuation, a strange look appeared on his face.
"I just threw him a survey spell."
he whispered to me.
"But the result of the reconnaissance technique is that he is doing very well now, very healthy, and his breath is active."
"you mean······"
"It's so abnormal. He looks like he has been through a long journey, but his body is unusually strong. He looks hungry, but he can't seem to eat. He also reacts subconsciously and irritably, but after realizing it, he still apologizes. This kind of thing The situation is very much like...”
"Like what?"
Canxing said seriously: "Devil's contract."
I was stunned for a moment, and then I couldn't help but think of those hell-muscle brothers.
Ah, it turns out that demons are from the evil camp.
I couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Now my mind has been completely led away by Kyle. Those guys who want to complete the KPI do seem to be the top evil in most people's eyes...
"This is very similar to the phenomenon caused by signing a contract with the devil and gaining super-standard abilities." Canxing said with a serious face, "I have to deal with it after he goes out."
The man ate very quickly, but it was more like stuffing duck into his mouth angrily than eating, as if something was chasing him from behind. Even if he choked, he just drank a little water and tried to swallow it. Go down.
The plate in front of him was being cleared at a very fast speed, almost like a whirlwind.
When the boss came to check out, he threw down a few silver coins impatiently, then stood up and walked out.
Only then did I realize another thing was wrong - there was no package on him.
Canxing's eyes were deep, and after the man walked out of the restaurant, he stood up and followed him out.
I sighed and said to the others: "You guys pay the bill first, and I'll go out with him for a while."
After I went out, I immediately saw Canxing looking at the man from a distance under the tree.
"Are you sure this is a demonic incident?"
Canxing shook his head and said: "I'm not familiar with demons... In fact, demon incidents rarely occur in the White Empire. Correspondingly, the number of cultist groups is gradually increasing. And I’ve noticed some really weird things.”
