Chapter 893 You have successfully caught my attention

"Sir, do you want to meet some elegant and beautiful ladies?"

The goblin next to him smiled like a businessman: "You have a gentlemanly temperament, and many ladies like you. Whether it's an elf, a catwoman, a dryad or a vampire, the type of partner they want now is someone like you."

"I see you are drinking here alone. Why don't you spend the night with a lady? Don't waste such a long and gentle night."

Roy took a sip of beer: "I'm not interested in women."

"Well, of course, if you have other hobbies, such as men, there are many neutral choices, such as the Bone Forefathers, Blood Elves, and Cactus..."

The goblin did not give up: "The secret kingdom is a free and unrestrained place. You can find like-minded people whenever you need them."

Roy put down the wooden wine glass: "Is it okay if I don't have money?"

The smile on the other person's face disappeared immediately: "No money? No money, that won't do, sir. What can you do if you don't have money? Don't make fun of me. If you have money, you are welcome to come to me anytime. Old Ball will arrange everything for you comfortably. If you don't have money, you'd better make money."

The goblin rolled his eyes and said, "By the way, would you like to find a way to make money?"

"For example, accompany some wealthy and noble ladies and play some interesting games. You can make a lot of money in one night, as long as you can win their favor. Maybe you will have no worries about food and clothing in the future and enjoy your life."

Roy told the other party: "Goblin, go find someone else, I just want to drink in peace."

"I just think it's a pity that you can't use your handsome appearance... Sorry to bother you, drink slowly, may the god Yao bless you."

Bauer nodded slightly, holding the wine and went to look for his next target.

My ears are finally quiet.

Roy said to the proprietress who was watching the show, "Another glass of ale."

"It's rare to see bards here. You're the only bard I've seen who can leave the forest." The proprietress poured him a full cup. "That old Bauer has the god of the Twin Snakes behind him. He's probably looking for a mate for a noble or apostle there."

Roy picked up his glass and toasted the proprietress: "Thank you."

"A man with your looks will always get some gifts." The proprietress smiled and said, "But I am also thinking about business. Look, after you came here, more women have come here. Many of them are staring at you."

Roy just drank in silence.

He came here to find a way to break the curse.

The story begins when Roy receives a letter.

The letter reads.

Dear Roy,

You succeeded in getting my attention.

I put a special curse on you, and that's the way I like it.

Hate me, hate me as much as you love me.

You will remember me and look for my name, and look for our encounter and connection. I am waiting for you to come to me across mountains and rivers and call my name.

This letter has no signature and is made by cutting and pasting words from newspapers.

Roy didn't care at first.

But soon, he found that he couldn't fall asleep.

Although elves do not need sleep, it is more of a way of life, just like sitting or standing.

But this change still made Roy feel uneasy.

Then he found that he was mostly immune to medicines. No matter whether it was potions or elixirs, they were no longer effective. No medicine could help him get relief.

Only the wine has a little effect.

The curse made Roy more and more tolerant to alcohol. At first, he needed to drink a lot of alcohol to temporarily fall into a state of being half drunk, which could temporarily relieve himself for a moment.

In the Yao Clan's native world, he had drunk all kinds of wine, but from one day on, no kind of wine could work on him. This made Roy very painful. He was very tired mentally, but he couldn't rest at all.

He met the female boss in front of him a month ago.

At that time, Roy was looking for new plants in the forest. Some wild plants had a certain paralyzing effect or toxins that brought anesthetics, which was also an effect he was pursuing.

Elves have a natural affinity with nature, and it is relatively easy for them to identify various plants.

He saw a woman leading a donkey on the mountain.

The woman was wrapped in a long red dress and had a black veil on her face. One could vaguely see some of her outlines, but they were not clear. Just like her eyes, it gave people a psychedelic feeling.

She had her long hair tied up behind her head, wore a pair of flower-like glass earrings, and was inspecting her garden.

The reason why Roy paid so much attention to this woman was because she exuded a faint fragrance, which was the smell of flowers and wine.

The other party also noticed him and invited him to taste his newly brewed wine.

Roy thus got to know a lady named "Rita". She opened a pub on the hillside called the Long Night Bar.

Rita was greatly surprised when she saw how Roy could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.

"You are born with a connection to wine."

"It's nothing but a sad curse."

Roy recounted his experience.

After listening to this, the female boss showed a look of enlightenment: "So, you have no idea who cast the curse? To lift the curse, we need to find the person who cast the curse."

“Is there anyone who loves you very much, or hates you very much?”

Roy didn't know.

He had never had a partner, let alone a marriage, so he was very confused by this.

Rita said, "You've never fallen in love with anyone, so that means you've rejected a lot of people, right?"

Roy nodded.

The female boss said: "That's like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Roy reported the case to the Resurrection Kingdom's police station, but it was very difficult to find the person behind the curse.

Actually, there is a solution.

If Lord Yaoshen could take action, then such a curse would definitely be eliminated.

But Roy knew that Lord Yao was very busy, and there were many more people in life and death danger praying for God's help, so those opportunities should be given to those who needed it more.

He prayed more to Sekhmet, the goddess of medicine, hoping to be healed by her.

But there has been no news so far.

It is said that because the Temple of the Sun has been treating fallen stars for many years, Goddess Sekhmet has been so busy that she has not had a moment's rest. The medical pressure is very high, and the entire temple is full of patients waiting for treatment.

Roy searched every sanatorium in every city, but received the same answer: there is no viable cure for the curse and only conservative treatment is available.

He therefore took to drinking.

Rita said happily: "That's great. I'm researching all kinds of new wines. If you are willing to be my taster and drink at the bar, I will provide you with free wine. What do you think?"

At first Roy refused.

The reason is simple.

"I will bring misfortune to you."

In fact, Roy's curse went beyond the inability to rest.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Whenever he touched other women, even if he just said a few words, he would cause them misfortune. Those women would either fall down, or their clothes would suddenly slip and tear, making them look embarrassed, or even get injured and fall into life-threatening situations.

So Roy basically doesn't talk to women actively, nor does he respond much.

But he was very surprised to find that there was nothing unusual about Rita.

"Don't you feel unwell?"

"No." The female boss sniffed the new wine in the barrel and said casually: "I am a loyal believer of Lord Dionysus. Lord Dionysus protects this place and the curse cannot take effect here."

Roy therefore decided to stay.

…

When I came to my senses, there was another glass of wine on the table.

Roy saw that the liquid in the cup was bright red, like rose petals in the garden.

"Ganlu 'Long Night', this is my special wine, only supplied to special guests, the production is very small. Try it." The female boss gestured with her hand.

Roy took a bite.

The taste is strong, with rich honey and floral flavors, and it is smooth and silky after entering the throat.

After entering the belly, he suddenly felt a little shaky, but the feeling quickly disappeared.

Roy was somewhat excited.

After the curse, it was the first time he felt such a strong sense of drunkenness and dizziness.

The female boss smiled and asked, "How is it, are you okay?"

very nice.

Roy wanted to speak, but found that he couldn't straighten his tongue and his body was out of control.

Rita looked at him with strange misty eyes: "Dear Roy, even though you refused verbally, you finally found me, didn't you? It seems that your body is still very honest."

She raised her hand and pinched Roy's chin with her slender fingers.

Roy was horrified and felt a chill all over his body.

He looked into the glass, the liquid was still as red as blood. Rita was still busy pouring wine for the guests, and the whole bar was still noisy.

Was it a drunken hallucination? But the scene looked too real for Roy to tell.

I happened to seek help from wine, and I met the proprietress Rita. When I came here, everything seemed exactly the same as described in the letter. Could it be that Rita was the one who cast the curse?

But I have no recollection of having met Rita before.

He was a little upset.

At this time, a new customer sat next to him. He raised his index finger and said, "Boss, a glass of 'Tao Zui' with ice."

"OK."

Rita started chatting with him very familiarly.

The visitor was a tall man with a thick beard and small, very melancholy eyes.

"If you still feel like a failure, then there is no successful person in this pub." Rita smiled and wiped the wine stains on the table with a rag, saying, "Mr. Jin, do you want to try the latest long night?"

"New wine?"

"It's Ganlu's new product. If you want to know what it tastes like, ask Mr. Roy."

Mr. Bearded King looked over and asked: "How does it taste?"

Roy said: "I have strange dreams."

"Have a drink."

Mr. Jin took the wine and drank it all in one gulp. The next second he fell on the table and fell into a baby-like sleep.

Rita looked over and said, "Mr. Roy, can you help me keep an eye on Mr. Jin? I'm really busy today."

"good."

"Thank you."

Mr. King woke up at dawn, which was also the closing time of the pub.

He looked at Roy: "It is true that I can dream."

The big man said, "You are cursed."

"Yeah, I have a hard time getting drunk."

"It is indeed a terrible curse." Mr. Jin said, "We can talk about it sometime. I have something else to do today, so I'll leave first."

Roy watched the other person leave.

He noticed that the table where Mr. King was lying was charred black, like the marks left by fire or lightning.
