Chapter 894 Devil's Gas Station

The long night bar opens at sunset and closes at sunrise the next day.

To reach here, you need to cross the slippery and steep narrow mountain road and pass through the wet and maze-like forest. Therefore, most of the regular visitors here have extraordinary abilities, some land in flying boats, some turn into big birds, and some ride the wind and clouds.

Since Roy doesn't need to rest, he usually sits on a tree and meditates, or looks for plants suitable for making wine.

It's hard to see Rita until the door opens.

When the door opens, she always stands inside the bar, welcoming every guest gracefully and politely.

As the only staff member here, Roy received a lot of attention.

Most of them were female customers. They would implicitly give him handkerchiefs, feather pens, silver or enamel collar clips, while the more unrestrained ones would directly invite him to visit their residence or hotel.

Roy refused them all.

Women who get close to him will only become unhappy.

This place is protected by the god of wine, but that will no longer be the case once you leave.

Two days later, Mr. Jin came to the bar again.

He seemed to be in good spirits that day, unlike his previous gloomy look. He held his head high and chest puffed out with high spirits, as if something good had happened to him.

"What would you like to drink today?" Rita asked.

"Cranberry wine, on the rocks."

Mr. Jin happily drank three large cups in a row, then he wiped his beard with his big hands and laughed out loud.

“Great, so great!”

He seemed to need someone to share his joy, but Rita was busy, so he found Roy.

"My friend, you are an elf, you should know a lot about planting trees. If we don't have manpower, it will be difficult to plant a large forest area in a short period of time just by spreading seeds. This is what we are doing, and it requires a lot of manpower, a lot of manpower."

Mr. Jin took a sip of wine and said, "All our workers ran away. There was nothing we could do about it. They had no choice but to run away or be hired away by others with better wages. Our business couldn't continue, so we left the previous place. There was a strong local force there, and we were no match for it, so we had no choice but to leave."

"Then we went to our current boss, who gave us a large piece of land and hired workers. The workers did a great job and we had something to look forward to. Everything is getting better!"

"The most important thing is that in the past, those guys were fighting each other in a barren mountain. Now we have jumped out, there is no need at all, we have our own territory, and it won't be long before we can fight back. We will become extremely powerful, and we will take over large tracts of forest!"

Roy raised his glass: "Congratulations."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Mr. Jin's beard curled up with pride.

You can tell that he is really happy and that he cares a lot about his forest farm.

Mr. Jin then asked, "What's your curse?"

Roy told him again.

"You are cursed by the old gods."

Mr. Jin narrowed his eyes.

Roy was stunned: "The old god's curse, is that the curse before the gods fell?"

"It's hard to say." The other man stroked his beard with his hand: "I don't know much about curses, but I have a friend who knows something. I'll ask him to come over and ask."

Mr. King walked out.

Before Roy finished his glass of wine, Mr. King came in with a friend.

The man was wrapped in armor all over his body, but this appearance was not uncommon. Ghosts or special ethnic groups were accustomed to wearing armor when traveling.

Mr. Jin introduced: "This is Master Jue, he is a monk who has seen a lot."

Master Jue looked at Roy for a while and said, "It is recorded in the pagoda that there are two ways to cast the [Old God Curse]. One is that when the god's divinity is broken, a curse seal can be completed. The other is that the existence that was once a god can also use the title to cast a curse. The strength of the Old God Curse is related to the strength of the caster himself."

"The [Old God Curse] on you is at the highest level 99. Ordinary people cannot recognize it. It is a negative effect that is very difficult to remove."

Roy felt very strange: "In other words, the one who cursed me was a fallen god, or a god from the past?"

"Yes."

The armored monk continued, "Only the gods can lift the curse of the old gods, but this curse is too high and it takes a lot of effort to erase it. Restoration is always much more difficult than destruction."

Mr. Jin asked, “How much is the consumption?”

"Hundreds of millions of faith powers and a divine power to absorb the curse."

“…”

Mr. Jin's expression also changed.

Roy sighed.

It is impossible for me to have such conditions.

Master Jue thought for a moment and said, "However, there is a place that can eliminate special negative effects."

"The Silver Plains at the other end of the world is a completely different world. The rules and power of our world will be invalid if we enter there. It is a God's forbidden zone that is even more thorough than the border zone."

In the Silver Plains, existing forces will gradually become ineffective.

If you stay there for 15 days, you will lose all your existing supernatural powers. Converted into Yao clan time, it is 30 years.

The people working at the local research station are basically the Skeleton Ancestors. They have almost all lost their little strength, and even their [Endurance] and [Order] are disappearing.

All you can rely on is trust in each other, the strength of your body, and the knowledge accumulated in your brain.

What will be eliminated locally is not only these forces, but also the negative characteristics caused by various rules.

The monk told Roy: "Even in the best case scenario, if you remove the curse of the old gods over there, you will lose the ability of the elves and no longer have a long life."

"Besides, the conditions there are harsh and dangerous, and there are many unknown risks. Please make your decision carefully."

Roy felt a glimmer of hope.

For him, he would rather lose a short but free life than be tortured by the lingering curse.

This was Roy's rejection of the one who cast the curse.

The most important thing is that this is something he can do with his own strength, which makes him feel at ease.

However, Roy plans to learn more about the Silver Plains and needs to be prepared.

…

Roy spent a whole year in the Long Night Bar, and during that year he figured out why there were always so many people coming here to drink.

The various "nectars" made by the boss can make everyone dream.

For example, the "Long Night" will transform various pressures into dreams, thereby releasing depression and reducing mental burden.

"Intoxication" allows people to dream beautiful dreams, to experience things that are difficult to achieve in their dreams, so as to make up for regrets and fulfill their long-cherished wishes. Many people come here for this reason.

"Sinking" has the opposite effect, creating a cruel and torturous illusion, making people experience pain between being half drunk and half awake.

At first Roy was puzzled as there were many customers who liked to indulge.

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

Can you feel happy when you are tortured?

Is pain also a kind of enjoyment?

Later he slowly understood.

The cruel dream woven by decadence can keep people awake and abandon weakness. It can also allow some people to see what failure will make them become. For many people, it is more like a self-warning.

One day, a woman in a black dress came to the bar.

As soon as she appeared, an uneasy atmosphere filled the place.

Although the long nights in the bar were noisy, everyone maintained an unspoken understanding and would keep conflicts and contradictions within a certain range.

However, the arrival of the woman in the black dress today broke a certain balance. First, two customers who were originally chatting and laughing started fighting. They directly took out two black magic knives and sprayed each other. One died and one was injured on the spot, and the scene fell into chaos.

Then a group of people started arguing and fighting from rescuing the wounded, and the whole pub was filled with a strong smell of blood.

The woman in the black dress sat on the chair, enjoying it all with a smile on her face.

The boss told her: "You are not welcome here, please leave."

It was the first time that Roy saw Rita so angry.

"That's too much. I just drank a glass of wine. It's obviously their problem, why are you blaming me?" The woman held her chin with one hand, looking sad: "Is it a sin to just watch?"

"You know that you are here and you will drive them crazy." Rita said coldly, "Please don't come here again."

The woman crossed her legs and looked at the boss sideways: "Then give me a glass of 'Long Night'."

"No."

“How cruel.”

The woman frowned. "I came all the way here just to have a glass of wine. Later I have to collect intelligence for the big shots, do the broadcast and manage my expression. It's such a miserable life that I can't even have a glass of wine after working so hard."

She noticed Roy next to her: "Mr. Elf, can you give me your "Long Night"? "

Roy handed her his unfinished drink.

"Thank you."

The other party took the glass, took a sip, squinted his eyes and showed a happy look: "After a busy work, a long night of drinking is the best."

"Thank you for the wine. Since we are destined to meet, I will also help you make some small changes."

She looked Roy from side to side.

"You are not in good condition. You are under the [Old God Curse]. Oh, you have offended a powerful person."

Roy briefly explained his situation.

"I know who cursed you."

She looked thoughtful. "That behavior, the tone of words, and the power she used were all from Ishtar, the Lady of Heaven. There will be no one else."

"That's what Ishtar would do. She would curse and torture the men she couldn't get. Of course, you won't remember what she looked like. Her presence won't be remembered."

"But she has probably forgotten you now. Ishtar is very fickle and is always looking for new people to like. Poor elf, you are so unfortunate."

It was the first time Roy heard this name.

"Goodbye, then." The woman in black stood up, put down her wine glass, and walked lightly into the night.

As soon as she left, the whole bar suddenly returned to normal. The customers who were arguing and fighting quickly stopped fighting, and a trace of confusion appeared on their faces, as if they couldn't understand why the situation had turned out like that before.

Roy asked Rita: "Boss, who was that just now?"

"【Seductive Tongue】Chesia, a great demon, is here in person." Rita looked towards the door: "When she appears, she will change everything and make the situation go to another extreme. This is her nature and also her hobby."

"Although Cecilia is not a demon from the Demon Association, she is the hell announcer of Lord Yaoshen. She returns to her true nature here, but she is definitely well-behaved and obedient in front of Lord Yaoshen. She must be under a lot of pressure..."

Roy suddenly realized.

The Long Night Bar seems to be the devil's gas station.

It suddenly occurred to him.

Could it be that telling herself the source of the old god's curse was also part of her game?

Roy felt that it was time for a change.

He wasn't sure if this was the effect of Cecilia's power.

He must remove the curse of the [Lady of Heaven] and no longer be the marked prey.

Rita said, "Well, good luck, and I'll buy you a drink when you come back."

The two men clinked their glasses.
