Chapter 83: Blessings never come in pairs, misfortunes never come alone (Second update)

[If you kill that guy, you won’t be against me now, right?]

"Don't worry, now is not the time."

[Be careful, there is a woman who knows black magic who hasn't shown up yet.] Runisia said, [Her breath is somewhat similar to the group of corrupt spiders we encountered on Shadow Island before.]

Josh calmly stared at Vladimir standing on the second floor.

Because there was a sudden bloodshed, the owner's first mate died, and the whole tavern was in chaos.

Gwen realized the change in the situation, suppressed her smile and looked serious.

She first moved the white porcelain castle to a more remote location temporarily, took out the scissors from the sewing bag in her arms and held it in her hand, ready to inject magic power to enlarge it and enter combat mode.

In the corridor, hearing Fayette's shout, everyone who had been blocking the door of their room rushed into the main hall.

Even Gai Wen stopped dozing off and took out half a bottle of rum from under the bar and took a sip to cheer up.

Hearing this, Fayette hurriedly ran out of the house, followed by Josh, Gwen and a few others.

Businesswoman Cholera and maintenance worker Vakul both remained silent and did not participate in their discussion, but their expressions were very ugly.

"The Night of Soul Erosion comes so suddenly, I may not be able to take my baby away." Qiaolera also said, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "Why don't we wait until next time to get together, maybe... after this trip, we can

Can we divide the items?"

The dozen or so sailors present were all muttering and arguing without daring to be too loud.

"Okay, now what we should consider is how to save our lives from that gang of ghosts who are determined to die." Fayette looked around and found that one person was missing, "We still have one person missing, right?"

"What, you want to fight?! Let's challenge each other!"

"It's normal. Because we are new here, they suspect we did it."

Gwen, on the other hand, couldn't understand what the people in the tavern were saying at all, and just responded to their panic and nervousness in a defensive manner.

If you don't listen carefully, you won't hear it at all.

Soul Erosion Night only happens once a year and is never absent, but the time of its arrival is not fixed.

"Hey, little fool, who is afraid of you? You didn't ask about my reputation before you came out to hang out?"

"Only 15 minutes!" Fayette reminded again, "Also, please be careful, a murder just occurred."

"Humph, I agree with this." Wakul agreed.

"What happened? Why did the first mate die suddenly?"

Josh and Gwen's expressions remained unchanged.

[Huh? These people are not together? Or is there internal strife? 】

Gawen and Fayette's expressions suddenly changed, and Vakul and Cholera also hurriedly returned to the tavern.

"Idiot, didn't you see there are 21 wine glasses here? The unlucky first mate must not be counted."

Fayette poked her head out from the fence on the second floor with a lantern. She didn't care about the cause of her first mate's death and muttered: "Blessed by the snake mother... In 15 minutes, everyone will gather at the bar!"

"We haven't reached a conclusion yet, sir." Fayette interrupted him, "Besides, Gladster is my person, and the store is all my customers. I will not question it without complete evidence.

Any of them."

Why do people die in the tavern when these two weird guys come?

She also has a pair of eyes as red as blood, which is the main reason why Fayette linked her to Vladimir.

Ever since the Curse of Ruin broke out and engulfed Blessed Light Island, the Night of Soul Eating was born.

Vakul didn't find the treasure, and Vladimir and the noble lady rarely went out, so she was referring to Gavin.

Every year, the black mist envelops countless cursed undead souls, and will expand along the Eternal Sea toward areas outside the Shadow Island, devouring more lives and continuing to expand the scope of the black mist.

What makes Josh strange is that Vladimir did not blame him for the murder, but instead identified the target of suspicion as a woman who had never come forward and possessed the power of a spider.

Normally, if you look from the Never Make Money Inn to the Cang-colored sea level, you will only see the black hills with a sliver of sky in the distance.

Josh held the World Rune calmly. Except for being a little afraid of Foyego, he had no fear of other Mist Walkers.

"Everyone!" He yelled incoherently, "Quick, look outside!"

"Forget it, we won't wait for her." Fayette picked up the wine cup and invited everyone to raise their glasses. "After drinking this glass of wine, we will set off back to the sea! By the way, do any of you want to get anything from the secret warehouse?

"

Vakul shrugged, raised his head and drank the rum, "I haven't found anything valuable this month."

"You said that...well, it seems to make sense."

In the past, except for the unlucky ones who died in the black mist, everyone who could return to the tavern was safe and sound.

However, there was no response from inside the house, only a very small rustling sound.

Doesn't this mean that there are people in the tavern with evil intentions now?

Not only the two of them, but also several sailors glanced at Josh and Gwen from time to time.

Just when she thought that the noble lady in the house had also been killed, there was a soft knock on the door, and the noble lady who was wearing a loose aristocratic robe to cover her unusually hot figure and covered her face with a silk scarf finally left.

come out.

"You crazy bitch from Noxus, are you targeting me as a Demacian?" Gawin muttered, "Don't worry, I won't die before you."

Outside the tavern, the roar of the undead was already close to my ears.

Fayette was startled by her own imagination, quickly dismissed this incredible thought, and knocked on the door again.

Under everyone's gaze, Josh picked up the wine cup and said, "She doesn't know how to drink, so I'll do it for you."

The farewell drink after encountering the soul-eating night was given free of charge by Fayette. It was already a tradition in the tavern that if you don't make money, you won't return to the tavern.

"Can you stop talking nonsense?" Josh responded helplessly, "I found out that after you left the time gap, why did you suddenly start to chatter again?"

"Don't waste time, we should go!"

"Is she the beautiful woman on the second floor?" One of Jolera's men suddenly realized, "She didn't come down!"

Fayette muttered, walked to the first mate's body and sighed again, then stepped over, returned to the stairs, and went down to the first floor with Vladimir one after another, and returned to the bar.

"Who the hell are you calling a bastard? You son of a bitch, you were the one who hit me first!"

"Maybe I got it wrong? Alas, I have been working too hard recently. I must take a good rest when I return to Bilgewater to escape the Soul Night."

It may be delayed by several weeks, or it may be suddenly advanced by months.

Josh and Gwen walked up to Fayette together and restrained the brilliance of the arcane barrier, but did not completely dispel the magic and remained fully alert.

As if he was aware of Fayette's gaze, Vladimir raised his scarlet eyes to look at her, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth - much like the smile of joy when he saw his prey enter the jar.

Fayette looked back uneasily at Gladster, who was still lying in a pool of coagulated blood, and then glanced at Vladimir standing at the top of the stairs.

It’s almost over 20 minutes now…

Josh patted Gwen's shoulder lightly and said nothing more, just waiting silently for Fayette's statement after the autopsy on the second floor.

"Isn't he the first mate? He is already dead." said a sailor.

Everyone quickly got ready and gathered at the bar, except for the lady on the second floor.

Speaking of which, if it weren't for the fact that using detachment is too laborious, and flying on the eternal sea, with no way forward or behind, and no backup plan for remediation if any accidents occur, it is a desperate last resort, and Josh would not want to fight with the people of Black Rose.

Being in the same room together.

But when he opened his eyes from the window on the other side, his breathing was also stagnant. His eyes widened in fear and he turned around and shouted: "Eclipse, eclipse... Soul Eclipse Night! Soul Erosion Night is here early!"

The noble lady glanced to the side of the corridor, without any worry or fear, "I understand."

The situation is urgent, and just now the filthy magical energy is flowing.

Josh had originally made a guess about the woman's identity, but judging from the current situation, he had to wonder whether his guess was correct.

"Fayette, Soul-eating Night!" Gavin looked solemnly and turned to the second floor and shouted, "According to my estimate, we probably have less than an hour left."

"This is the first time I have encountered a soul-eating night." Gai Wen was nervous. He had already finished drinking the bottle of low-quality rum in his hand, and his face turned red due to the stimulation of alcohol.

In fact, there was no need for Fayette to give orders at all. Everyone was busy and went back to their rooms to pack their bags.

"The more years you live, the more times you will encounter it." Cholera said with a smile, "Anyway, the soul-eating night is not difficult to deal with. The only thing that is scary is the human heart."

Just in case, Josh did not remove the arcane barrier and still held Gwen, and she didn't feel anything was wrong.

This year's Soul Erosion Night happens to be one and a half months ahead of schedule.

Gwen felt puzzled, "But, we didn't kill the man upstairs?"

Fayette nodded. The moment the lady closed the door, she seemed to see all kinds of spiders crawling around in the dark room, as well as densely knotted and criss-crossing spider webs...

"..."

Although compared to Fayette's four experiences of Soul Haunting Night, this tavern has only encountered it twice.

He did not die during the treasure hunt on Shadow Island, but died in a safe haven...

"What?!" There were several more exclamations in the room.
To be continued...
