City C is a northern city. It is freezing cold at this time of year. The first light snow of this winter just fell a few days ago, and now everything is frozen.
Everyone was dressed warmly in this weather, the monsters also changed into seasonal clothes, and the tavern was full of women and men in their best attire.
In winter, you can wrap yourself thicker and wear more decorations. Many people wear fur, but their fur is more expensive than human fur.
Yuan Yuanyuan came early in the morning and looked at the guests in the tavern. She felt that every guest was not to be messed with. One could tell from the skin that had been peeled off from who knows where on their bodies.
She was standing here warming the wine. The winery had recently received a new batch of wine. She didn't know what year it was, but it smelled very intoxicating.
The amount of wine used in the pub is quite large. I heard that sometimes the pub uses its own wine, and sometimes it imports wine from outside.
The transparent wine slowly flows into the bottle through the collet. Today, the kitchen uses a clay-colored wine bottle, "Green ant new wine, red clay stove". Although these monsters are all transformed into humans later in life, they are also quite elegant. Each one is like the ancients and is much more playful than modern people.
Today, the tavern got a batch of small stoves from somewhere and lit them up and sent them to the guests, with wine on the side. I heard that the tavern also brought in snow from outside to make snowmen inside the house...
Yuan Yuanyuan complained silently in her heart that when she had money, she would also come here to drink, let the prettiest girls pour her wine, drink the best wine, and use the best room.
"What's wrong?" Someone walked hurriedly towards her. Yuan Yuanyuan was squatting and fiddling with the wine bottle in her hand. She looked up and saw a girl who had been serving wine in front. Why did she come here?
The girl didn't even look at Yuan Yuanyuan; she just glanced around the room with an anxious expression.
Yuan Yuanyuan had seen this expression many times in the past few days. Her whole body tensed up as she prepared for what was about to happen.
really……
"Hurry, hurry, hurry." The girl looked around and saw no one, so she simply shouted into the room, "Run! There's a female hooligan in front who wants you to come over and drink with her!"
"..." Yuan Yuanyuan stopped moving her hands.
"……" Sister Li Zi, who was eating melon seeds just now, also stopped suddenly.
"Bang!" This was the sound of the wooden closet. It seemed that the four people subconsciously went into the closet after hearing the news...
…
"No, no, no... We have many girls in our bar. If you want any girl to accompany you for drinks, I can call her. We don't have many girls, and we're afraid of getting into trouble. We only have a few little monsters..."
When Yuan Yuanyuan was wearing a red dress and going to the front to serve the wine, she saw a female monster sitting in front of her. She looked particularly majestic... Her hair was piled high, with a lot of bangs in her head. She was wearing a thick-looking purple dress, embroidered with particularly beautiful flowers in gold thread, with three layers inside and three layers outside.
The female monster was also very beautiful. She was sitting in the chair, looking particularly lazy. Yuan Yuanyuan thought casually in her mind and finally settled on the word "queen".
Wow... four groups of blood profit.
"Do you have a handsome male demon in white clothes here?" The female demon said casually while looking at her long nails painted red.
"No, no, no...that's not true. Don't look at the random drawings in the sketchbook." The people in the tavern kept waving their hands.
Here’s what happened…
A few days ago, the cover of "Dream Man" unexpectedly used Siqun as the cover character. Although Siqun has not appeared for a long time, his popularity is too high.
The cover is a picture of the drunken monster from the fourth group who suddenly jumped up and kicked the monster in the bar. That unrestrained and heroic figure, that handsome posture, that pretty face, and those enchanting sleeves...
The monsters read mostly the parts they care about in the picture books, and many of them cannot keep up with the progress. After all, the progress of the physical version of "Dream Man" and the serialization on the Internet are different.
The physical magazines only serialize some popular anime, and the monsters don't look at their phones, so this physical magazine has become their only way to learn about "Monster Chronicles".
Then, Qun'er became really popular...
It went viral, and within two days it was revealed that this person might be working in this bar. So over the past two days, all kinds of monsters have been coming to the bar to look for Siqun, and they have even specifically asked Siqun to come over and pour wine for him...
Yuan Yuanyuan and the other monsters in the tavern were on the same front. Every time the monsters in front came over to report the news, she and Sister Li Zi would tell Siqun to hide quickly. Siqun hid very well every time and has not been dragged out to drink yet.
"Oh, I'm really sorry. You're welcome to come again next time." The monsters in the tavern lined up and bowed to the female monster who finally left.
Yuan Yuanyuan felt a cold sweat on her forehead. She felt that the recent actions of these monsters were so similar to a certain group. What is the appropriate word to describe this group...
——Ah, yes, sasaeng fans.
She silently looked at the four groups that had crawled out again.
The monsters may not quite understand what this word means... But in the eyes of this half-demon, everyone who has come these days is really a stalker fan, and a crazy fan at that.
As she said this, Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly realized something.
Well, yes, for ordinary humans, this is just a comic book, but for monsters... this is daily life. They can just roll up their sleeves and fight whoever they like.
While thinking about this, Yuan Yuanyuan sat alone in the dark house, looking at the mess around her and wondering how to clean it up.
The reason why she thought of so many messy things was because she was considering...whether there would be monsters looking for "Yuan" in the future just like they did for the Four Groups.
Hmm... that shouldn't be possible. After all, everything has been sealed now, and I guess not many people know who he is.
As I said before, if you become a noble family in City C, you will be given a fiefdom and will also need to take on certain responsibilities.
The place where Yuan Yuanyuan is now is the land assigned to her. This is her first time here today.
She was wearing a black down coat and transformed into the appearance of Yuan. A poor person like her naturally didn't have the furs stripped from other monsters to wear...she only had this down coat.
Yuan Yuanyuan had never been to any other aristocratic families in this place. In fact, she had not known for so long that there were such things as aristocratic families in City C. For example, there were piles of aristocratic families like the fat cat family of Jixiang Yu in other cities, but they were as invisible as if they were in City C.
It is called a land, but in fact it is just a house, and a very old one at that. It should be a monster's house, and there must be some kind of witchcraft cast on it, because the people around it seem not to be able to see this old house, even though it is clearly next to the street.
The house is two stories high, next to a bath center and a Home Inn... Yuan Yuanyuan looked around several times, and it was magical that no one on the street could see this house with such a strange style of painting.
The house was not very big, a two-story building with a yard, a bit like a small villa in the countryside. Yuan Yuanyuan thought the land should be very large, but it was actually very small. However, Yuan Yuanyuan felt that the house should not be cheap.
——Because it is in the city center.
I wonder if the monsters here have such a thing as house prices.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked around the house. It took her a long time to finally make it look like a haunted house. It was very obvious that this house was haunted. When she was sweeping the dust from the shed, she saw a lot of spells painted on it.
She cleaned up the area and then began to think about what responsibilities she would have...
Yuan Yuanyuan didn't understand what this responsibility was at first, but later the woman in white explained it to her.
Some noble families are responsible for maintaining order among the monsters in City C;
Some aristocratic families are responsible for brewing wine (Yuan Yuanyuan only then realized that most of the wine in their winery came from one family);
Some noble families are even responsible for cleaning City C. After all, the traces left by the monsters fighting are sometimes quite bloody, and humans cannot see this...
Yuan Yuanyuan pondered for three seconds and began to think desperately about what she could do.
...Will a security fuse work?
…
Well, monsters probably don't use this.
Yuan Yuanyuan felt that her life over the past twenty years was quite boring. She only studied for the first twenty years and did not have any hobbies that she was good at. She only learned half of painting and piano, and the only thing she was good at was doing papers.
By the way... I heard that these noble families do all kinds of things, some are specialized in painting, and some are specialized in playing the piano, so these two originally had nothing to do with her.
However, this responsibility seems to be mandatory. Yuan Yuanyuan didn't reply to the woman in white for a long time, and the woman in white didn't dare to say much. In the end, she just said that it really wasn't possible, so she just made up a random number.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked around the room, not knowing what to do. Suddenly, she saw her Ran Niang COS costume hanging there.
Ah... By the way, it seems that she does have a hobby, but it was only developed after college...
Yuan Yuanyuan walked towards the dress and suddenly felt that this was the only reliable thing...
…
At this moment, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside.
Yuan Yuanyuan lowered her head, lifted her hat and put it on her head.
The person who came in was a girl. Her voice was particularly pleasant and could be heard as soon as I entered the door.
"Hey? It's been empty here for so long, and finally someone comes." The girls chattered. Yuan Yuanyuan smelled a faint scent of evil spirit.
The girl saw the man standing there at a glance. He was wearing all black, was very tall and thin, his face could not be seen, and he had his head lowered. His neck was particularly slender.
"Ah...are you the new owner here?" The girl's voice gradually became softer, and she didn't know why.
The man in black over there glanced over here. His eyes were particularly beautiful. The girl wanted to take a closer look, but saw that he turned his head away again.
"It's me." said the man in black.
