Chapter 745: Panic (Part II)
"You, what's going on with you?"
When the merchant awoke, he found that many of the people in the inn did not hide their alienated features, but rather exposed them.
He had come to the Principality of Sorrow to do business a few times, so he naturally knew that the people here were very different from them, but on weekdays, the people here would not reveal their alienated characteristics - the opposite of what they are now!
"I don't know......," the innkeeper sighed leaning against the counter, "I woke up this morning like this, as if there was a 'blood burning' feeling last night, and all of us have become like this." ”
He touched the thick hair on his arm and sighed again.
In just one night, the merchant noticed that the boss had grown a little stronger, and the surface of his exposed skin was covered with hair, which looked like a bear from a distance.
The boss is the one who has changed the most, and the rest of the people have also had very significant changes.
For example, the local merchant who was still chatting with him last night had a layer of pale blue scales on his cheeks, and when he got closer, he could feel the moisture gathered around him.
Another example is the boss's daughter, although she did not become like the boss, but the little girl who used to look a little slender suddenly became tense and muscular, and something that looked like fish gills appeared next to her neck - just like her mother.
She had to keep her dry skin moist after a while, or she would feel sick and even suffocated.
The merchant was the first to wake up, and the first to notice this phenomenon, and he chatted with the people here for a while, only to find that they themselves didn't know what had happened to cause their bodies to become like this.
When people woke up one after another, they were surprised to find this fact.
The merchant munched on fluffy white bread, which would never be found in an inn if it was outside of the Duchy of Sorrow.
The white bread, which had been delicious, was now tasteless in his mouth, and his gaze fell on the 'strange' people around him, who until last night had been about the same as him—at least human-looking, but after one night, they had become like this.
It was impossible to say that he had no guilt, even though he had known for a long time that these people were no longer pure-blooded humans in nature, but now when he saw their appearance, he couldn't help but be a little scared......
Yesterday they were drinking and chatting together, but after one night, he was horrified to find that they had completely changed their appearance.
"There's news, there's news!"
At this moment, a man ran in from the door of the inn, he was the son of a groom in a noble family, but now he was working in the inn.
He ran in and stood at the counter and shouted to the innkeeper, "Uncle Rook, there's news from the town government! It seems that because the black forest's magic influence has spread, the concentration of magic in the principality has increased, and our bloodline has been stimulated, so we have become like this!"
His voice was loud enough for everyone in the hall to hear.
The innkeeper suddenly realized, "Oh, that's why I thought it was......
After laughing, he waved his hand at everyone in the hall, "Did you hear that......?"
"What did you do to me?!"
At this moment, there was an angry roar from the stairs, and everyone turned their heads to see a big man dressed as an adventurer standing on the stairs, his eyes full of anger.
He covered his head, but his hands couldn't cover the two huge horns that stood tall on his head.
All eyes fell on the pair of giant horns, and when they saw the big man's dress and the two horns on his head, everyone was stunned.
The angry man walked over angrily, slapped his big hand on the counter, pointed at his head and roared, "Look at this! Look at this—what did you do to me?!"
Some people stared blankly, some people dropped the food in their hands, and their eyes were full of fear when they looked at the food, and some people stood up slowly.
The innkeeper also looked at the big man in front of him blankly, shook his head in a daze, and said, "No, you see our ......."
"Don't you, you guys!"
The big man slapped his palm again, interrupting the boss's words, he glared angrily, and roared: "Lao Tzu is different from you! Lao Tzu is not from this bullshit principality, but now? You have made Lao Tzu look like this!
When the guy standing on the side heard this unreasonable question, he became angry and sneered at each other: "How could it be us? The town government and the maid have all said that we are just because the concentration of magic has increased and the bloodline has manifested! You are an outsider, how can we do anything to you?"
"Shut up!" the big man roared, his twisted face startling the young man.
The big man turned his head to face everyone, swept over the others with bloodshot eyes, and then pointed to the big horns on his head, "Did you see it?"
"Do you know what's going on? Eating too much monster meat will make me look like this, and it's all their fault why I'm like this!"
He pointed at the innkeeper and shouted, "It's all their fault that I became like this!"
The man's speech skills were not exquisite, and it could even be said that he was very rude, but before that, an atmosphere of unease had been brewing in this small inn.
All the outsiders saw the change in the shopkeeper and his family, and some even went out into the street to observe it twice, confirming that the whole town should have changed.
Looking at those faces that are so different from those of 'ordinary people', and thinking that this is a change that happened overnight, many people can't help but feel uneasy in their hearts.
Some of them were even afraid that they would become like them - but thankfully, the appearance of all the outsiders who appeared in their eyes had not changed, and that was the only thing that could comfort them......
However, now they suddenly found that the only situation that could comfort their hearts had been ruthlessly shattered.
An adventurer, an outsider like them, he also has a change in appearance!
"Impossible!"
The innkeeper stood up angrily propped up the table, "The meat in our store is all farmed, and it has never been cut from a monster, you are slandering!"
"Then what's the matter with me?" the big man pointed to his head and shouted, "What's the matter with me?!"
The innkeeper glared back with the same ferocity, "You are an adventurer, you yourself ate the meat of a monster in the wild, what does it have to do with us?"
He was originally tall, but now he is more like a bear, and this angry cry has calmed many people.
But because of this, a wave of fear spread in the hearts of the outsiders.
The innkeeper's explanation was not accepted, especially after the big man blushed and retorted loudly, and the outsiders looked even more suspicious in their eyes.
None of them believe it, they only believe the 'facts' that they guessed!
A businessman suddenly stood up with his buddy and walked up the stairs.
"What are you going to do, brother?" asked a man who asked him in confusion.
"Pack up your things, and get ready to leave......," said the merchant, muffled, "I've rested here long enough, it's time to go back!"
As soon as the words fell, many people reacted, as if there were needles under the seats, and hurriedly stood up.
All of a sudden, the lobby of the inn became chaotic.
Before the innkeeper could even say anything to stop them, almost all the outsiders rushed up the stairs as if something terrible was chasing them behind them.
Soon, the hall that had been quite lively had become deserted.
