Chapter 29 Chapter 5 Friends' Dinner

The owner of the Sunset Hotel rolled up the curtains. At this time, he no longer expected any business to come to his door, and there was still a lot of work to be done before closing the store. Since the last employee was dismissed, all these things have to be done by him. Do it yourself and save on candles if you start early.Thinking of this, he dragged the broom and swept it carelessly, but stopped for a while.It will end here tomorrow, so what's the point of doing these preparations today?He thought for a while and continued with the action in his hands. He has been operating here for thirty years, and there is no reason why this last day should not be spent well.

The light at the door was blocked for a moment, a person pushed the door in, and the bell hanging above the door rang. "Welcome!" The boss spoke professional language without even standing up. The people who came in did not talk to him, but looked at the store and said to themselves: "So I am not late. No, I am late, but they are later than me." He stood against the light, dressed A traveling cloak wrapped him tightly from head to toe, and the boss couldn't see his appearance clearly, until he muttered for a while before calling out: "Boss, please prepare four dinners, My friends will be here soon."

"Excuse me, what do you want to eat?" The boss quickly calculated how much material was still available in the kitchen. "Whatever, just have some wine and fruit." This is a customer who is not picky at all. He sat down at the table near the door, put down the hood of his cloak, shook his head, his long green hair draped over his shoulders, and for a moment the boss had the feeling that the midday sun had returned to the inn.With a smile no worse than the sunshine on his face, he sat there waiting for his friends who were later than him. "He is a half-orc of the Yu tribe, but he has no wings." The boss thought so and walked into the kitchen.

The doorbell rang for the second time, and the boss hurried out with the drink he had just prepared. The second guest was taking off his cloak, and said to the green-haired young man, "I'm late, but I'm earlier than some guys." He threw the cloak on the table, sat down and leaned on his knees and said : "The horse ran wildly for a whole day and night, and it killed me!" It can be seen that he has indeed gone through a long journey, and even his golden hair is covered with a layer of dust.The boss hurriedly brought the drink to him, but stepped aside in fear when he thanked him—the noble aura of the blond man made it difficult to look directly at his face.The blond man grabbed the cup and drank it in big gulps, but the green-haired young man laughed "hehe" and said, "It's the shortest way for you."

The blond man said angrily: "I'm different from you, I'm a 'human'!" The green-haired young man smiled even more happily: "I've heard this sentence many times, is there no other reason?" "No!" "Hahahaha..." The green-haired young man simply laughed. The blond man drank his drink and ignored him, and asked after a while, "Guess who arrived last?" "You don't have to ask, isn't there a guy who does everything slowly." The green-haired young man said firmly, "I wouldn't be surprised even if he changed the time to today next year."

"Don't worry about this. I sent the letter to his wife. According to past experience, he is up to three days late." "Except for the time spent on the road, I only have two days this time." The green-haired young man has been smiling ever since he entered the hotel, only dimmed for a moment, "It won't be the same as last time, after all, It's not all there either." "Don't be discouraged, you red-winged bird—I remember his wife called you that before?" The blond man smiled wickedly. "Dare to say that I'm an animal, you're tired of living!" The green-haired youth immediately rushed forward, and the two played together.

The last ray of sunset faded from the hotel, the proprietor lit a candle, and the doorbell rang again. "I'm late again." The person who came in said in amazement, "There is someone who is later than me this time." The blond-haired man and the green-haired youth said together: "We are more surprised by this than you!" Someone came and hung the cloak by the door, and the room seemed to light up. This is an elf boy with crystal-colored eyes (youth? His appearance is really hard for people to use the word youth for him, although his His age may be older than all the people here combined), he himself seems to be able to shine, his body is shrouded in a faint light, which makes people's eyes shine.He looked at the table and asked slowly, "Grape, can I eat it?"

"Really..." The blond man couldn't help but rolled his eyes. He even threw the plate to the elf and said, "I thought you'd grow up a bit after seeing you for so long, but it turned out to be the same. Think about your responsibilities, compare yourself, It's really worrying." He laughed and said ironically, in fact, he trusted his friend more than anyone else. "If you didn't abduct my eldest sister, I wouldn't be responsible for anything." The elf pointed out the culprit who made himself the most responsible person. "Respect me if you know I'm your brother-in-law. Is it easy for your sister to raise you..." The blond man straightened his back.

"In that case..." the elf pouted and pointed at the green-haired young man, "he didn't mean to call me uncle." "Why do you involve me!" The green-haired young man quit—in terms of seniority, he was the youngest—jumped up and shouted: "Don't think that you can bully me because you are older than me in name!" "In name, I'm older than you!" The blond man said triumphantly, "What should you call my wife?" "In terms of age, I'm older than you!" "In terms of age, I am the oldest." The elf pointed at himself.

The three of them quarreled over this meaningless question, making a lot of noise, and seemed to be enjoying it. In the end, the blond-haired man and the green-haired young man simply started fighting, punching and kicking each other, and the elf hurriedly held The fruit plate ducked aside. It was completely dark, and the boss kept looking outside worriedly, worried that their last friend would not arrive as scheduled. There was a strong wind blowing outside, and the doorbell rang violently. A person pushed the door in as if being swept by the wind, bringing a strong wind and a pungent smell of blood.

"I encountered some situations on the road." He said that without explaining, just talking like this, and his friends must understand.He didn't wrap himself in a cloak like the three friends did. He put on a piece of soft armor over the simple warrior outfit, which was very neat, but now it was covered with blood. Although he himself had a few small wounds, Of course the blood belonged to the enemy, but his clothes could no longer see the original color, his hands, face, and sword, and even his black hair was soaked in blood. He picked up the cloak on the table and wiped it.Perhaps it was because he came in with such a breath of death, the innkeeper couldn't help shivering when his golden eyes met. He felt that under such a gentle expression, the eyes were deep and terrifying.But his friends looked at him with smiles. "Why are you so embarrassed every time I see you?" The green-haired young man was the first to step forward and hug him recklessly. As a result, he was also stained with blood, so he also pulled the cloak to wipe it. "Hey, you two, that's mine! It's mine!" the blond man called out. "Stingy!" The green-haired young man threw down his cloak, and suddenly hugged his waist from behind. The golden-eyed man took the opportunity to rush up and hug him hard, and of course he was covered in blood. The blond-haired man smiled back. After hugging each other, I had no choice but to wipe the cloak myself. "How could anyone be later than me?" The elf stayed last as usual, and he also stretched out his arms to hug the golden-eyed man and said, "It's hard to see you now, and you didn't come last time." "Of course, we are all guarding our own country, but he has to run around the whole continent," the blond man pretended to sigh, "who said he is the emperor of the wind!" "Emperor of the Wind?" The green-haired youth said immediately, "Remember, this title will be passed down to future generations." "Why spread such a thing?" The man with golden eyes frowned. "Because this kind of thing is easy to catch on." The four laughed together. The friends finally gathered together. Among the four people, the man with golden eyes and the elf talked less, while the other two chattered endlessly, noisy, and sometimes bickered because they were rushing to talk.They talked about each other's family, children, friends, the weather, the harvest, the army and the war. "How long will it take for Sana to get here?" "According to the current speed of travel, Nanli Kingdom will definitely not be able to stop him for a month at most!" "I think Nanli Kingdom will definitely surrender." "Surrender is fine," the blond man pondered. "Their domestic army is in a mess now. If you surrender, the civilians will not suffer more harm." "In this way, your time will be reduced again." The green-haired youth said with concern. "Half a month!" said the golden-eyed man, "I think it's at most this long." "Half a month..." The blond man slammed the table hard, "Enough!" "That's right!" The green-haired youth also slapped the table, "I want this kind of momentum! If other people are afraid, let them be afraid. I absolutely don't believe that Sana is invincible!" "But it's okay for everyone to keep being so afraid. We can't win this battle just by relying on us," the golden-eyed man said. "I will arrive at your place in three days. Let me take the lead this time! It's time to frustrate him." Be brave! As long as you prove that Sara is not the undefeated God of War, everyone will summon up courage." "No," the elf said softly, "I'll come." He looked at his friends with an indescribable smile, "In the Hot Wind Desert, my army will meet Sana first, so let me Come and see him." He said these words with an air of innocence, as if he were asking his friends for the opportunity. "No, it's still me..." The elf stretched out his hand to stop the man with golden eyes from continuing. He looked at the huge black shadow under a tree outside the door and said, "You shouldn't let it face all this, at least not now." Everyone fell silent. "Really, I agreed not to talk about business! How come I'm here again!" The green-haired young man shouted: "Come, drink and eat! I don't know when we will meet next time!" "Maybe it won't be until the end of the war?" the blond man said, tilting his head. "Then let the war end sooner." The elf said, as if the end of the war was as simple as eating grapes for him. The golden-eyed man had already poured wine for everyone, so he raised his glass first and said, "Have a drink." "Do it." Everyone clinked glasses, but their hands stopped in mid-air. The blond man scratched his head and said, "Why are you cheering?" "Not for the war," said the green-haired youth, "for the sake of the young father!" "Hahahaha," the blond man raised his legs, "how about it, envy me!" "Well then, for the young father! Cheers!" The boss quietly walked out of the hotel. The guests did not need to be served, and he felt that he should not continue to listen to their conversation. The night is dark, moonless and starless, just like the future of this continent, nothing can be seen, only a faint light from the small hotel, and bursts of laughter, the hotel owner sits in front of the door, thinking The feeling of crying. A night bird howled and flew by, not far away a horse neighed in shock, under the tree in front, a huge body moved and moved, everything returned to silence. The boss felt that the night was a bit cold, but he sat without moving, because he felt in his heart that if he sat here all the time, he could see the dawn rising. "Tomorrow will always come." He thought this, and gradually fell asleep. At dawn, when the proprietor returned to the inn, the guests had gone, and there were thirty gold coins and a beautiful green gemstone on the table.The boss didn't look at these things, he quickly chased out the door, only to see the figure of a flying dragon rising into the clouds in the far sky... In the afternoon of that day, the Sunset Hotel was closed, and the owner and the surrounding residents embarked on a journey to escape the flames of war. Seven days later, the Battle of the Hot Wind Desert took place, and the story of the Elf King alone against Sana spread throughout the continent...
