C354 Atlanta's Misfortune(2)
I looked at the counter, not a familiar face. Did Atma's bar move? However, the furnishings here did not change much compared to a few years ago. I sat down at the corner of the wall. Although the maid was against my image, due to the lack of business, she suppressed her emotions and walked over to me to ask about my needs in a low voice. I lightly said, "A barrel of ale. I want it to be iced over."
The maid didn't make me wait for long. Although I am a Necromancer, earning money is clearly more important. I poured a cup of wine and drank a large mouthful.
Something's not right! This isn't the taste I was looking forward to. This is not Atma's unique brew. The owner of the hotel has changed? With this unique wine, Atma could practically sit and wait for a surging source of wealth. Why should she give up?
"Boss, may I ask where Atma's hotel has moved to?" I asked gloomily.
The boss is a fat man. He said coldly from a far away counter, "You haven't been to Lut Gholein for a long time, right?"
Yes, I haven't visited Atma's hotel for several years. From the fat boss's words, Atma has already moved away. "Boss, when did Atma move out?"
"You want to drink Atma's wine? Maybe there are some cellars in the palace, but it is also once less." The fat boss replied listlessly.
"What do you mean? Atma is no longer brewing wine?" I felt a wave of disappointment.
"She has already died for a few years. Why did she continue to brew wine?" The fat boss said expressionlessly.
Huh? I was so shocked that I stood up. I poured the cup and the wine flowed all over the floor. "Dead? How did he die?"
The fat boss obviously didn't want to continue talking to a Necromancer. He chuckled a few times and lowered his head, ignoring me.
I quickly walked to the counter and threw out a few gold coins, "Quickly tell me, what happened?"
When the boss saw the gold coins, his attitude finally changed, "You really haven't been to Lut Gholein for a few years, right? This is a long story. It is said that Atma's husband was rescued from the Underworld by a great hero. It was originally a very happy thing... " The fat boss paused for a moment and didn't continue.
"It was supposed to be a very happy thing? Could it be that something happened to Melton?" I stared at the fat man, waiting for him to continue.
" Accident? It was a huge accident. After just one night, Mai Erdong mysteriously turned into a skeleton. Atma could not take this blow and threw herself into the well the next day at dawn. Poor thing." The fat boss sighed.
I suddenly wanted to vomit. How could such a thing happen? Mai Dong was clearly standing up right in front of me. That magical resurrection spell allowed me to see the light of dawn in the darkness. It caused my life to palpitate once again, turning me into bones in one night? Did puzzle-solver's spell fail? Or did the resurrection spell not give the resurrection a long life?
I couldn't help but bend down and vomit. The fat boss panicked and said, "Customer, you can't vomit here."
My stomach keeps contracting, but I can't spit out anything because I haven't eaten for a long time.
The fat boss shoved me out of the hotel and I fell on the empty space outside the hotel. My legs were weak and I was at a loss.
Why? I thought I helped Atma, but it made her fall into an even crueler fate. Am I wrong? Was everything I did wrong?
There were fewer and fewer people on the road, but I was unable to wake up from the state of having my soul leave my body. The cruel fate brought me waves after waves of devastating blows, and I was always powerless to resist.
It was only until the next morning when Meshief found me that I slowly woke up. "Is Atma really dead?" I looked at Meshief in a daze.
Meshief nodded. "That was a hero from a few years ago. What happened to you?"
I grabbed Meshief's hand and slowly stood up. "How's the matter that I wanted you to inquire about?"
Meshief said, "I have inquired about it. That Warrior Arreat did appear in Lut Gholein. That was a year ago. He wore a purple holy armor. But the war pike was not purple. It was said that his armor was a supreme treasure ranked at the top of the divine artifact Ranking. Perhaps it was because of the armor that Miss Marina lost, there were a few groups of people who had designs on it, but they all died tragically. Their corpses were all blasted into a bloody mess. The authorities of Lut Gholein did not dare to ask about such a powerful person..."
A year ago? I felt a little disappointed, "Has it not appeared recently?"
"No one has seen him before." Meshief replied.
One year ago? I lost my armor in the deep sea, how did it fall into Soutar's hands? I remembered that Anand had accidentally mentioned that there was a battleship from the Kurast that was fishing for treasures in that area. Could it be that it was trying to salvage my armor? But other than the survivors who left the Dragonflame Island together, who else knew that my armor was lost in that sea?
I was distracted for a while. No matter what, my equipment had all fallen into Soutar's hands. It's meaningless to ask for the reason, I have to find them as soon as possible. But will this tribe member who has some issues with his intelligence follow the laws of the tribe and obediently return on the day of the undying king's sacrifice?
"Meshief, please arrange a horse for me. I have urgent matters to attend to."
Meshief was a bit disappointed, "Is the hero really that anxious? I wonder when I will be able to see you again after this trip."
I patted Meshief's shoulder, "We will meet again if fate allows it."
Meshief bowed deeply to me.
