Hill is the owner of a tavern in Morag.

It is said that this tavern called Rongtuoxue was run by his grandfather's generation and has been passed down.

According to his father who died of chlorophysis, fuchshen is a weed that can be seen everywhere outside. The reason why their ancestors gave the tavern this name was to make this small tavern like fuchshen. Although small, it has incredibly vigorous vitality.

But Hill has never seen a real stuffed salary since he was a child... It is said that travelers from other places say that this kind of weed is particularly found in Morague, but for some reason it has not spread into Morague.

"Maybe it's because weeds are afraid of getting infected with the plague here." The traveling merchant at that time blew with ale with a lot of impurities floating on it, laughing and joking.

Not long after, he fell on the streets of Morag due to the black plague and never left this plague city again.

This is a really ominous city.

Hill often thinks this way.

Except for some traveling merchants who risked their lives to enter here for the sake of profit, the entire Morag was filled with a deep dusk aura, as if he could enter a rotten coffin at any time.

Apart from those drunkards who were stinky, there were only gangsters who wanted to search for oil from the shop owner.

If it weren't for the two forces that were barely considered semi-official, Fengmill and Heihe, he would have been killed and seized money long ago - although he had no money to seize.

Hill's happiest thing is to meet foreign travelers. They are always optimistic and positive. They are also talkative and always chattering. At this time, Hill will always give the other party a glass of free ale and then listen to them talk about the outside world.

Unfortunately, he had already developed symptoms of chlorophysis on his arm, and he would soon die under this strange disease like his father.

Occasionally Hill would have expectations such as "I really want to see the outside world" or "I really want to see the stuffed meat," but he knew very well that since the moment he was born in this desperate city, his life had been limited to this huge but particularly narrow world.

——It should have been like this.

But something that broke the status quo happened suddenly.

A terrifying monster suddenly appeared above the lake in the city. Even when I looked from a distance, the terrifying pressure made Hill tremble.

At this time, the great magician appeared in front of them.

As for what magical magic that master used to solve monsters, so far, there are many speculations circulating on the streets and alleys. The only thing that is certain is that while solving monsters, the master also eliminated the curse that had been entangled with this plague city for decades.

Hill was also surprised to find that the green spot on his hand had also disappeared.

A ray of dawn from the future began to appear in the originally dead city.

At the beginning, people who were still somewhat suspicious of all this still maintained their original behavioral habits, but under the guidance of the windmill and Heihe, gradually, those who were verified to have no disease left Morag or joined the adult's caravan and started a new life. So the remaining people finally became more anxious and more active, wanting to devote themselves to a new life.

But this way, the business of the Lutouxin Tavern is even worse.

People who have been in Morag were desperately trying to squeeze out, but people outside had no idea of ​​coming in. In just a few dozen days, Morag's population dropped sharply from 400,000 to less than half, and the whole city gave people a feeling of emptyness.

At this time, the one who saved the city again was the magician master... or, in other words, the magic academy founded by the magician master.

Although Hill is not very clear about the specific situation as an ordinary little citizen, as the merchants who suddenly poured in the city recently said that the magician master was mysteriously missing in the academy of the Huoli'an Empire. Therefore, the caravan that originally cooperated with that academy to carry out various alchemy materials, magic items and a series of alchemy products could only modify the plan and set the target to the only external school district in the academy called Adrick, which is the school district in the city of Morag.

Judging from the results, they seemed quite satisfied. With their blessings, Morag once again grew in population. Unlike before, the once cursed city is no longer dusk, but a sudden refreshing vitality.

It is precisely because of this vitality that Hill has recently felt that he could no longer live like this.

"I'm disturbing~" The welcome bell at the door made a crisp sound, and then the familiar voice also rang.

Three teenagers and a girl entered from outside the door one after another.

They were wearing mage robes of different colors and holding various magic wands in their hands. They looked so energetic and full of energy.

"Welcome." Hill stopped the work and walked to the bar to greet them with his usual smile.

"Boss Hill, as usual." The young man in the lead snapped Hill's fingers with a familiar smile.

They were students of Adrick and regular customers of Hill. He prepared three cups of hot cocoa and a cup of hot milk in a slight manner and placed them in sequence.

Kamiyu took a big sip of hot cocoa, then let out a long sigh and showed a comfortable smile: "It turns out that the hot cocoa from the top is delicious! It's great to have a glass after finishing the task!"

Dorothy, who was licking the milk on the cat's tongue, contemptted Kamiyu, who was dancing around him, saying, "Kamiyu, don't be so loud, it will affect other guests."

"But the boss's hot cocoa is really delicious." Riddle also spoke, and the fat man Tannis next to him also nodded in agreement.

Ignoring Dorothy's words, Kamiyu looked behind Hill and found that there were several large packages behind the bar.

"Boss, you are..." He looked at Hill in confusion.

"Oh, I plan to go outside." Following Kamiyu's sight, Hill smiled after finding that he had seen the packages: "Recently, looking at you who are full of energy, for some reason, my old heart seems to have new motivation."

"That's a good thing!" Riddle put down the mug in his hand and congratulated Hill first: "Boss, you have such a good craftsmanship, you will definitely be able to open a big tavern elsewhere!"

"Yes, yes, the boss's fried tender steak is really delicious! There is also vegetable salad! There is also stewed potato soup!" Tennis nodded immediately in agreement.

"I just feel a little depressed when I think about not being able to eat the boss's food in the future~" Kamiyu said with a smile.

"I will definitely come back."

Hill said suddenly.

"Huh? No, boss, don't worry about us!"

Doroth said in a panic: "That guy Kamiyu is just a constant trouble. You don't have to care about his words!"

"No, that's not the case."

Hill looked at the four little guys in front of him who were a little stunned by his words and said seriously: "No matter how far I can do outside, Morag is my hometown. This is also the only store with the top salary, and the others are branches! So one day, I will come back for my hometown!"

Four little guys looked at me, I looked at you, and then smiled together with tacit understanding.

"So, for the success of our Hill boss's branch business, let's cheer!" Kamiyu slapped the table and shouted.

"So it will cause trouble for other customers, stop it!" Dorothy wanted to stop him.

"Cheers!" "I'll come too!" But Riddle and Tennis had already echoed and raised their mugs high.

Hill looked at this scene and showed a gentle smile. His gaze turned and found that at the entrance of the tavern, it was already winter, but there was still a grass standing upright in the wind without fear of the cold. The scene was exactly the same as the pattern on the signboard at the entrance of the tavern... (To be continued...)
