Chapter 40 A Conversation with the Boss

"Yes, what Guard said makes sense. Let me see if I can communicate with the boss and find some useful information." Zhang Han interrupted the crowd.

The innkeeper was still happily wiping the table cabinet that had become extremely smooth, as if he regarded it as the closest thing to him.

"Hey, why are you here? Are you going out?" Seeing Zhang Han and Li Kong coming down, the owner asked enthusiastically, not caring about the ghost mask that Li Kong was wearing at all.

"Owner, we are here on vacation, so we want to learn the local customs and practices here. Can you talk to us?" Zhang Han also warmly said.

"We don't have anything special here, but it's right for you to come here for a vacation. The sunlight here is very suitable. It won't be too cold or too hot all year round." Hearing Zhang Han's question, the owner could not wait to introduce them.

"Because this place is relatively remote, there are no foreign guests, so when I see foreign people, I am particularly enthusiastic. I hope you don't mind this."

"Haha, why would we be offended? I like this place very much as soon as I came here. The environment or the townspeople here are so good. We still plan to stay here for a few more days." It was obvious that Zhang Han was very good at communicating with the owner. Soon, he chatted with the owner enthusiastically, just like two old friends who had been separated for many years. They talked from parents to ideals. They talked everything.

"Owner, I really like your place. Can you introduce me?" Zhang Han spread out his hands, his expression full of love.

Hearing that someone liked this place, the owner was very happy to introduce to Zhang Han, "Don't think that my inn is small, but we have been running it for almost a hundred years. From my great-grandfather all the way to me. We're famous in town."

Therefore, it is definitely the best choice for you to stay here.

Listening to the boss introducing his hotel, Zhang Han and Li Kong did not interrupt and listened carefully.

Perhaps the boss had not been in contact with outsiders for a long time, so he was willing to talk to two outsiders who were willing to listen to him.

"In addition to my inn, there are several century-old stores like us in this town. Come. I'll show you."

The owner pulled Zhang Han towards the door and pointed at a dilapidated house, "This is the best restaurant in our town. Their food is the most delicious one. There is a reason why it looks so shabby."

"Oh?" Zhang Han pretended to be puzzled and curious.

"Originally, it was not like this. The one who ran it was an old man with the surname Zhang. He had no children and had always been taking care of the restaurant alone. However, men make mistakes. For some reason, Zhang's restaurant suddenly caught fire, and the originally perfectly fine restaurant was burned to this extent."

"However, something strange happened. At that time, when the restaurant was on fire, no one noticed it. When we reacted to put out the fire, Zhang was no longer breathing. But on the night of the burial, he somehow came back to life."

"At the same time, he kept shouting that he had seen God. It was God who asked him to continue to live in the human world. Everyone did not understand why Zhang could still come back to life. They thought that it was just a dead-cat bounce, but Zhang has lived for almost five years now."

"Later, the most respected old man in our town told us that it was Glacial Pavilion who showed up and saved the dead Zhang."

Li Kong frowned tightly under the mask. The dead people had come back to life. Why? Generally, only when the dead bodies encountered a cat or a weasel would the corpse change. It could cause people to return to life for a short period of time. However, it was not enough to let the dead people live for five more years.

"The old man I just talked about is the only mage in our town. He is very powerful. No matter if we were lightly injured or seriously injured, he can cure us. The people in the town respect him very much." The boss did not hide the admiration in his eyes, which also showed his respect for the old man he said.

"Owner, is the old man you mentioned in your town?" Li Kong asked.

"Yeah, he's here to protect our holy land, Glacial Pavilion." The owner answered Li Kong without hesitation.

The Guardian of the Glacial Pavilion? An old man with a kind smile on his face but full of gloomy aura appeared in Li Kong's mind. Suddenly, Li Kong seemed to have figured out something and hurriedly asked.

"Have you suffered any serious injuries?"

The owner was suddenly stunned by Li Kong's question.

Li Kong also knew that his question was abrupt, so he scratched his head and laughed dryly.

Seeing the awkward situation, Zhang Han immediately said, "Brother, don't mind it. My brother has suffered serious injuries on his face, so when he heard that the old man had such ability, he was naturally very happy. That's why he was rude. I hope you can forgive us and not take it to heart."

"What are you saying? I just don't know what to say. Don't worry, I won't mind." The owner was very open-minded and did not care. Instead, he comforted them.

We are back to the Tuka Mountain. I also like to take a stroll on the mountain when I am bored. I have lived here for forty years and I have never heard of any dark beasts on the Tuka Mountain. But I just happened to bump into one. You can imagine the result. I was attacked by it. If the old man had not come in time, I might have died."

"The old man brought the seriously injured me back and treated me. You see, I don't even have a scar now. The owner stretched out his hand and pointed at his arm for the two to see."

"It can't be seen now. At that time, my arm was almost separated by the dark beast. That huge scar ran through this place." The owner pointed.

They kept looking, but no matter how they looked at it, they could not see any signs of injury.

"This old man is really powerful. Then there is hope for the scar on my face." Li Kong pretended to be excited.

"Haha, looks like we didn't come here for nothing. There is still hope for your injury." Zhang Han naturally knew what Li Kong meant and immediately agreed.

Their realistic acting skills were impeccable.

Seeing how excited the two of them were, the owner immediately introduced, "If you have time, I will take you to the old man and ask him to treat the wound on your face. Looking at you, you should be young. It is difficult to show your face with such a wound. It is also very hard for you."

"Really? I appreciate that." Li Kong's goal was to get close to the old man again, so he was naturally happy to agree.

"Then I will go up and prepare. We will meet this god-like old man in a while." Li Kong pulled Zhang Han and replied with an even more excited tone.

"Alright, you go and prepare. When you are all ready, I will bring you to meet him. I guarantee that he will be able to treat your face."

The two quickly returned to the room.

"Guard, do you feel anything wrong?" Zhang Han said seriously.

"Yes, Captain, do you remember that the characters of the people here during the day and at night are different?"

"What do you want to say?"

If the owner is not lying, then there is definitely something wrong with this old man. What method did he use to save people who are seriously injured or even dead? If this is some wonderful recipe, then the country will definitely notice it. Even if it can't be promoted, there is definitely a record. But the country actually has no record, or even never heard of it. Then this is not a good way."

"In addition to the behavior of the people in the town, I am sure that this is definitely an evil magic skill."

Listening to Li Kong's analysis, Zhang Han nodded thoughtfully.

"Captain, I remember. I once read about it in an ancient book. There was a kind of evil magic skill that could make the dead alive, but the person who was cast would gradually become a puppet, without thoughts and consciousness." Li Kong thought of the evil magic recorded in the books that his teacher gave him and immediately told Zhang Han.
