Son of the Olden Days

Chapter 454: Strange hospitality

The scene in the room is a bit strange. There are no living furnishings such as desks, beds and cabinets. It feels that the space is very open and there are not many things.

On the wall on the side of the door in the direction of opening, there is a corner counter, just like the one in a pub with a horizontal bar on the front and a corner counter on the side. At this moment, there are four high-back chairs neatly placed outside the horizontal bar counter on the front, and nothing else.

It is worth mentioning that although there are not many things seen at this glance, it reveals a weird and gorgeous sense. I don't know what kind of wood the counter is, and the luxurious wine red color, the surface seems to be coated with a layer of anticorrosive paint, and the smooth countertop is as bright as a mirror.

On the ground on the outer edge of the counter, there was a small circle of exquisite carpet, and the four chairs were not only exquisite workmanship, but also exquisitely carved. Just a few simple things, but reveal a kind of exquisite luxury, even if it is not inferior to the desk of the big family.

The door pushed open, and Sol stood in the door for a stunned, Alessa and Sereo squeezed out half of their faces from Sol's shoulders and peered into the door, while Gerrabi was jumping around behind the crowd. After the three of them saw the environment in the house, they all took a step back subconsciously.

Because behind the counter, there is a...woman, at least from the figure, she is wearing a slightly gorgeous pleated dress with an apron on the surface. This dress is easily reminiscent of big People like cooks in the family.

The reason why the three of them were taken a step back was because the woman's body was normal, but her head was a bit wrong, and at first glance it looked like she had no head. This is the reason why Saul was stunned for a moment, but it wasn't that he was headless after a closer look.

Saul's neck was slightly tilted to one side, gaining more vision and angle, and quickly saw that her head was actually a tombstone.

It's just that the moment the door opened, the woman with the head of the tombstone turned sideways to everyone, so the first thing everyone saw was the side of the flat tombstone that wasn't too thick. Coupled with the subconscious denial of unreasonable things by logical thinking, everyone sees it as headless.

But even if a tombstone nearly shoulder width replaced the head, this bizarre scene was obviously abnormal and extremely weird.

The woman with the head of the tombstone didn't seem to pay attention to the arrival of Saul and others. She was standing behind the counter and busy herself. Use a rag to wipe the dust on the counter, and the whole person will sometimes move slightly horizontally, moving around the counter to wipe it off.

Following Thor's gaze to see her appearance, everyone couldn't help but breathe, but was stopped by Saul's words in time.

"Remember not to stare at others for a long time. It's best to treat her as a living person, and no matter what happens after entering, try not to behave in a panic and disrespectful behavior." Sol whispered a few words to the three of them. , And then walked into the room first.

After everyone followed Thor cautiously into the house, Thor turned to face the counter to get more vision, and found that because of the angle problem, everyone did not see clearly. There is actually an embedded wall behind the tombstone woman. Small cabinets and cubicles.

There is only one plate in the cabinet, and there are four beautifully patterned plates on the plate, which seem to be dinner plates.

The whole half-enclosed counter and the wall form a whole. On the wall near the corner of the counter, a part of it is recessed to form a small compartment. The compartment was slightly narrower and more than two feet wide, and it didn't seem to have a specific effect at first glance.

As for the front of the tombstone woman... well, the other person's head is indeed a tombstone. The whole tombstone seemed to grow from a shoulder. The surface of the tombstone was tortured by the years and it was a little cracked, and some things resembling moss were attached to the surface of the monument.

The tombstone was similar to those commonly seen in the cemetery, with a square-bottomed vault, and on the vault was a cross with branches and small circles. To be honest, this scene seemed a little funny at first glance, but no one dared to laugh, and the three less receptive people did not dare to breathe.

After all, this woman's appearance is obviously far away from the biological level, who knows if it will suddenly violently launch some strange attack.

Sol just glanced at the tombstone roughly, and fell into rapid thinking, divergent thinking for a time as turbulent as a sea tide.

Who is she? Is she alive or dead now? The purpose and meaning of her existence here? Is she the master of the rules?

But the problem that Sol is most concerned about is that there are no more, no less than four chairs and plates, just matching the number of four people on his side. Coincidence? Or, this is actually the home of the four scarecrow monsters? Sol couldn't be sure for a while.

The room was silent, only the movement of the tombstone woman lowering her head slightly to wipe the counter continued. The three of them stood there a little at a loss. After all, it was not easy to face this weird scene. Everyone didn't know what to do next or how to do it.

"Hello, ma'am, take the liberty to interrupt." In the end, Saul raised his head to speak out first, and even bowed slightly to the tombstone woman. This scene may seem silly, but the three people behind Sol hurriedly followed suit, better than standing.

There was no response from the other party. The tombstone woman didn't even raise her head, just lowered her head and rubbed the countertop of Guang Ke Jian Ren.

Then Saul tentatively asked some trivial questions, such as where it is and what place name it is. But the tombstone woman still didn't respond, as if she was only focusing on her own affairs, occasionally moving her footsteps to another place to continue rubbing.

All three were dumbfounded, and Saul began to feel a little anxious in his heart. He knew very well that this was probably the last key point for everyone to break the game. If there were no more discoveries here, then everyone might really fall into the rules in the end.

He originally thought that when he came here, he would see some intelligent creatures or monsters. For example, the first time I met Shine and the vampire ghost behind, they actually interacted with Thor at the time. One was a silent pantomime, and the other was a direct verbal negotiation.

But the tombstone woman in front of him makes Saul a little confused. Did she deliberately ignore everyone? Or is she incapable of thinking? Because Thor sees her repetitive movement trajectory, he always thinks about coupling with the demon in the ring.

In the end, Sol slowly approached the tombstone woman at the counter, and then sat down in the first exquisite high-back chair.

Although Saul's actions did not bring any surprises, everyone was still nervous and worried when they were so close to the tombstone woman. Then the three also learned that Sol sat down in the other three chairs outside the counter, which was a kind of silent support among teammates.

Facing the face of the tombstone at close range, there was a lot of pressure inexplicably, but Sol quickly found a way to distract.

He began to study the inscription on the tombstone, and after a closer look, Saul discovered that there was content on the tombstone, and it was the normal text of the Lunar calendar. But he didn't dare to stare at it all the time, he only dared to glance at it occasionally, and then silently remembered it in his heart.

At the moment when Jelabi finally took his seat, the tombstone woman's wiping movement suddenly stopped, and several people including Thor were all bluffed. Gerabi almost jumped up from the chair again, his trembling fingers seemed to want to draw a bow and shoot an arrow.

After a moment of silence, the tombstone woman suddenly stopped wiping, turned and walked into the not too deep cubicle on the wall.

Then she began to half-bend, her back turned to everyone and she didn't know what she was doing there, and no one dared to leave the table to see. After a while, there was a... cooking sound? Then a strange fragrance floated in the air, and everyone swallowed subconsciously.

The sound of cooking continued for a while, everyone looked at each other, and Thor shook his head, leading everyone to continue to play the role of polite diners.

When the tombstone woman turned around again, she seemed to be ready to go to the platen on the wall to fetch the dinner plate. During the intermittent period, Risol took the opportunity to look carefully into the compartment, but found nothing. At this moment, although the sunlight outside the house penetrates a little, the light is limited after all.

The compartment was dark and vague, and only a vague glimpse of things that seemed to have stoves and iron pots. Question: This woman was empty-handed just now, where did she get the ingredients? What are these ingredients? Sol inevitably began to diverge thinking again.

The crowd didn't wait too long, and soon the woman divided the unknown food into plates, and put them in front of everyone one by one.

Sol stared at the contents of the dinner plate with some confusion. The plate seemed to be some kind of roast meat. Each slice was about half a knuckle-long square, and there were a total of three slices per person on the plate. After seeing it, Saul couldn't see the meat at all, he just smelled the roasted meat.

To be honest, the sudden food in front of you must have a great temptation for everyone. After all, during this period of time, everyone was half-filled and hungry every day. Although the weight of these three slices was a little less, it was better to have something than nothing, and I wanted something meteor hammer.

No one of them took the lead, they all quietly glanced at Sol from time to time, waiting for Sol to take the lead.

When telling everyone about the past two life experiences, Saul actually talked about it. In the rules, someone has prepared food for you, so it’s better not to eat too much, although you may not know what you have eaten afterwards.

Just like those rich feasts in the castle rules, Sol's requirements are not high, as long as there is no abnormality in the body after eating.

Eating and accepting gifts from others is itself a kind of courtesy to the giver. On the other hand, you actually have no choice, because you are not sure what the consequences will be if you reject the creatures, and everyone has been hungry for so many days, so let's just eat it first.

So Sol nodded slightly to signal the crowd, and then took the lead in picking up the silver fork on the side of the dinner plate, inserting a piece of roast meat and stuffing it into his mouth.

It’s just that Saul frowned slightly after chewing. It wasn’t because the taste was bad or there was something strange. The meat was fairly tender and there was no hot sauce or other condiments. Even the salt taste was almost unnoticeable. Can't eat what kind of meat.
