Chapter 196 Town Rules
"It seems that the only thing we need to buy is food," said Charles.
"But we don't know how much food is left in the castle." Ivan followed up his question: "Should we buy less or more...?"
As Ivan spoke, he scratched his head in annoyance.
"The rules say we have to go back before dark." Lin Jiu said.
"Ah? I know."
Ivan looked puzzled when he heard Lin Jiu suddenly say this.
"Instead of worrying about how much food to buy, it's better to worry about what kind of dangers we will encounter during the round trip." Charles said helplessly.
He sent people out to purchase goods before daybreak and specifically reminded them to be back before dark.
Although we don’t know how far the journey is, it’s hard not to suspect that we will encounter some danger along the way.
No.
According to the nature of ghost stories, there will definitely be danger.
Ivan seemed to have just thought of this problem and stopped talking. Instead, he walked while looking around cautiously.
Charles shook his head and sighed softly.
Even though Ivan only remembered to be alert now, the two of them had instinctively tensed up from the beginning.
Although Lin Jiu was among them, they felt very safe.
But the surroundings were pitch black and very quiet, which was a bit chilling.
......
Dark Night Castle.
Not long after Lin Jiu and the other two left, Todd walked out of the room and came to the living room.
The butler happened to return to the castle at this time, and when he saw Todd, he said the same thing.
Unlike Lin Jiu and the other two, Todd smiled politely and replied, "Not bad."
The butler smiled and nodded, "Madam and Sir usually have dinner around five o'clock. Would Mr. Todd and the other Exorcists like to join us?"
"No, the others will eat later."
The butler nodded: "Okay, I understand."
After saying that, he continued cleaning.
Todd walked out of the castle and stood in the front yard. He looked up at the moon.
The blood-red moon hung high in the sky, and only the area around the moon was not blocked by thick clouds.
Todd looked away, a trace of worry on his face.
......
Lin Jiu and others, who were being worried about by Todd, were still walking down the mountain.
The path had probably been repaired and was not difficult to walk on.
But the woods on both sides make people feel nervous.
The night wind blew, bringing a hint of coolness, and the leaves were rustling, but for a moment, a sound different from the sound made by the leaves being blown by the wind was still caught by the three people.
It was a short, rapid sound, as if something was moving through the woods.
The three of them turned around almost at the same time and looked in the direction where the strange noise came from.
Charles and Ivan even adopted a posture that was easy to attack and defend.
No one spoke. Charles and Ivan stared at the direction where the sound came from. Although Lin Jiu brought the light closer to the woods, the illuminated area was limited and they could not see anything.
Lin Jiu couldn't see it either.
This situation is the same as what we encountered in the Biangui Supermarket dungeon.
Only this time they had the tools to illuminate.
"Let's go first."
After Lin Jiu said this, Ivan and Charles slowly put away their guard.
On the way down the mountain, they encountered similar situations about a dozen times.
After doing this many times, Ivan and Charles became less nervous.
"By the way, aren't we really just going around in circles?" Ivan asked with a frown.
They had been walking for a long time, but were still on their way down the mountain.
"No." Lin Jiu answered confidently, and then considering Ivan's patience, he added, "Soon."
Hearing this, Ivan fell silent.
Just as Lin Jiu said, the three of them walked for about five minutes and arrived at the foot of the mountain.
At that moment, the world suddenly became bright.
The strange dark space disappeared, and was replaced by a relatively normal environment where one could see the surroundings clearly with the help of moonlight.
Lin Jiu looked up, glanced at the blood-red moon, turned off the lights, and looked towards the town not far away.
The distance was about two hundred meters, and from a distance, one could see figures moving around.
The time on the prompt box shows that there are ten minutes left until five o'clock.
It took them nearly an hour to descend the mountain.
"Let's go and take a look."
Lin Jiu said this and took the lead to walk towards the town not far away.
The three of them entered the town smoothly, and not long after they walked, they saw a striking sign.
But before they could go over to check, a town resident noticed them first.
"You are...exorcists?"
It was a middle-aged woman. When she saw Lin Jiu and the others wearing exorcist costumes, she immediately walked over.
"Yes." Charles said with a smile.
Of the three, Charles is the best at socializing.
Ivan and Lin Jiu tacitly chose to remain silent. The middle-aged woman looked over and just smiled and nodded.
"I see... That sign over there contains some of the rules and regulations for our town. Remember to read it."
The middle-aged woman looked at them and seemed to have something else to say, but quickly changed her mind and reminded them to look at the eye-catching sign.
Charles didn't ask any further questions, but smiled, nodded and thanked the other party.
The middle-aged woman left with a smile, and Lin Jiu touched his chin and stared at her back.
"Is there a problem?" Charles asked.
Lin Jiu shook his head, "No, I'm just curious about what she wanted to say just now."
"Maybe we'll meet again." Charles smiled.
Lin Jiu also laughed when he heard this.
"Too."
If they haven't met, they will take the initiative to find him.
Ivan stood aside, feeling as if he had been kicked out of the channel.
The three of them came to the sign.
【Town Rules】
[1. The town market opens at 5 a.m. and closes at 4 p.m.]
[2. As an exorcist, you may encounter residents who need help. Please do your best to resolve their requests.]
[3. The guild has prepared 100 strange points for you as public funds. Please arrange them reasonably.]
4. The residents here do not like the Smiths.
[5. The mayor may help you in times of crisis. If you are in dire straits, you can seek the mayor's help.]
After reading the five rules, the three of them looked at each other.
I didn't expect that the guild would actually prepare public funds for them.
In the weird world, 100 weird points is a lot.
"That lady just now, maybe we should go find her."
"But she didn't ask for help." Lin Jiu said, his eyes falling on the last sentence: "Compared to what that woman just wanted to say, I'm more curious about this mayor."
The rules of the game bring players to the town for a reason.
Among the town rules, only the last one seems to be related to the core rules of this dungeon.
As for the other rules, there are no big problems.
"The Dark Night Castle hides some secret. If we want to know this secret, maybe we can find the mayor." Charles said.
Lin Jiu nodded.
"But we have to buy the ingredients first."
