Chapter 575 The Arrival of Gul Festival

Noon, Golden Coconut Hotel,

Li Si and Taya walked down the stairs and came to the tavern on the first floor.

"Li Si, and Miss Taiya?"

Old Milo was sitting behind the counter as before, noticed Li Si and Taiya, and said with some surprise:

"It's rare to see you here, Li Si, during the day?"

During this week, Li Si went to the City Lord's Mansion to study the hidden magic circle during the day. The excuse he told Old Milo was to investigate the locations of stores in the town and consider what products the stores sell.

After returning to the hotel in the evening, Li Si would usually go to the tavern on the first floor of the hotel to spend some time and chat with old Milo.

On the one hand, Li Si also wanted to get more information from old Milo to see if there were any other breakthroughs; on the other hand, Li Si also took this opportunity to observe Juou's condition and wanted to see if this girl would have any other breakthroughs. abnormal.

But these days, Juou is the same as before. Apart from exercising with Taiya during the day, there is no other special performance.

She looks like an ordinary girl. Who knew she would be the core of this small town's fantasy?

Li Si thought of the bloody tower and looked at the lively scene in the tavern in front of him, sighing slightly in his heart.

Sitting at the bar, Li Si ordered a special cocktail of Old Milo for himself and Taiya, and said to Old Milo with a smile:

"The inspection is almost over, so naturally there is no rush."

"What, do you have a favorite place?"

Old Milo raised his eyebrows and asked Li Si.

While talking, Old Milo never stopped holding his hand, and the mixing glass danced flexibly in his hand.

The relationship between Old Milo and Li Si is quite good these days, because Li Si often chats with him and knows many interesting rumors that Old Milo has never heard of.

Li Si seemed to have been to even the kingdoms and elven forests in the eastern part of the Fanor continent, and he spoke eloquently, which made old Milo, who had never left this small town, quite envious.

So Milo often invited Li Si to drink these nights, just to hear more interesting rumors from the outside world from Li Si.

Li Si didn't care about this. Although the old Milo in front of him was already an undead creature, he did not lose his mind under the influence of the illusion. He would only treat old Milo as a friend.

"That's about it. It's the two-story attic on the east side of the square."

"There"

Old Milo thought for a while and said with a smile:

"The location there is not very good. Except for the annual Al-Adha festival, there are not many people coming and going. It is not as lively as the Golden Coconut Hotel street."

"That's your store. Do you no longer want to do business?"

Li Si said with a smile.

"Although it's my store, I have to make it clear to you. I can't trick you!"

Old Milo said to Li Si with a smile, and placed the prepared cocktail in front of Li Si and Taiya.

"It's okay, Taiya and I both like it there."

Li Si nodded, picked up the wine glass and said with a smile:

"Anyway, I already have enough savings, and I can just live the life I want from now on."

"If we didn't like it here, Taiya and I wouldn't have decided to settle here."

"That's true. Although there is nothing special about Ihales, living here is indeed quite comfortable."

Old Milo agreed with Li Si's words and said with a smile:

"Tomorrow is the Gul Festival celebration. Li Si, you and Miss Taiya must not miss it."

"Of course, I've been looking forward to it for a long time."

Li Si's eyes glowed a little, and he shook his wine glass and said:

"I'm going to ask Juou to take Taiya and me to experience this celebration tomorrow. Let me tell Milo in advance."

"That's okay."

Old Milo said nonchalantly:

"Anyway, I won't open the store tomorrow. Everyone in the store has gone to the open-air stalls in the square. Let Juou take you to the celebration. You won't be disappointed."

Old Milo seemed to remember something, and then said to Li Si:

"Li Si, you have a very good relationship with Zhuou. I heard about the gold coin you gave Zhuou."

"It's just a coincidence. Taiya really likes chatting with Juou."

"When my store opens, I want to bring Juou to our store to help."

"Why are you here to rob someone? Li Si, you can't do this."

Old Milo was stunned and said jokingly.

Li Si and Taiya's attitude towards Juou has been noticed by Old Milo these days, and Old Milo doesn't mind if they really want to take Juou away.

Old Milo regarded Juou as his own daughter. Seeing Li Si's attitude of not caring about money, Juou would definitely be better off following Li Si and Taiya than in the Golden Coconut Tavern.

Even if there are conflicts later, Juou can come back at any time, and he has not left Ihailes anyway.

However, old Milo definitely couldn't agree so easily, otherwise it would be bad for Li Si to feel too relaxed.

"No, I told old Milo that you can't take away the gold coins given to Juou!"

Li Si knocked on the table and said with a smile.

"Are you kidding me that I would be so stingy?"

Old Milo's beard jumped and he said dissatisfiedly.

"By the way, where's Juou?"

Li Si nodded, took a sip of the refreshing golden wine in the wine glass, and asked Old Milo.

"I was here just now, I should go to the kitchen."

Old Milo naturally knew that Li Si was joking with him, so he didn't care.

When turning around, old Milo happened to see Juou coming from behind with a plate, so he waved to her and said:

"Xiao Juou, come here."

"oh."

Juou responded, placed the plate with roasted ham on the table aside, wiped his hands and walked over.

"Li Si would like to ask you to accompany him and Taiya to visit the Al-Adha festival tomorrow, so you don't have to help at the stalls."

Old Milo said to Juou.

Anyway, we have already agreed to Li Si's request, so why not settle the matter directly.

"Oh, I know."

Juou nodded, looking a little happy.

She had made an appointment with Taiya to go to the celebration together before, and she was also thinking of taking a half-day off with old Milo.

This way, you can take a break throughout the day.

"Juou, come, sit here."

Taiya, who was sitting next to Li Si, opened the seat on the other side and said to Juou.

Juou hesitated and glanced at old Milo.

Seeing this, Old Milo knew that Taiya had something to tell Juou, so he nodded and said:

"You stay with Taiya for a while, I just want to go to the kitchen to take a look."

"I see."

Hearing this, Juou nodded happily and sat down next to Tai Ya.

"Then I'll have to work hard for you tomorrow, Juou."

Taiya said to Juou with a smile.

"Yeah, leave it to me tomorrow. I know which stalls at the celebration are delicious."

Juou nodded excitedly and said happily.

She had not made many friends before. Although she had not known Taiya for a long time, she had an inexplicably good relationship with her.

"Hey, I'm just curious about what the festival will be like tomorrow?"

Taiya asked Juou curiously:

"I heard that the city lord will also come out. Have you seen Juou?"

Hearing this, Juou thought for a while and said with some doubts:

"Every year the city lord comes out to host, but I can't remember what the city lord looks like."

"Strange, could it be that I went to eat delicious food at that time?"

Forgot the appearance of the city lord?

Li Si noticed Juou's words and paid some attention.

"Well, this city lord must be very strong!"

Taiya didn't pay attention and said with a smile:

"Of course, the city lord is guarding our entire Ihailes!"

"Taya, you and Mr. Li Si will definitely understand if you live here in the future."

Juou said with certainty, showing great respect for this rarely seen city lord.

"That's it, I understand."

Taiya said with a smile, and then chatted with Juou about tomorrow's plans.

Where to go shopping first, then what stall to have lunch at, etc.

When talking about this, both of them were very interested.

Li Si listened to the lively conversation between the two girls, interjecting a suggestion from time to time, but most of the time he did not intervene in the conversation between the two.

After a while, when Li Si and Taiya finished lunch and were about to go upstairs, Taiya held Juou's hand and said with a smile on her face:

"Then we have agreed, but you can't leave me alone!"

"Definitely, definitely."

Zhuou nodded repeatedly, with an expectant smile on his face:

"Hehe, although many Gur's Days have passed, I don't know why, but I'm looking forward to tomorrow's celebration."

"I just decided, see you tomorrow."

Taiya shook Juou's little hand, then let go and walked upstairs with Li Si.

After returning to the room, the smile on Taiya's face suddenly faded, and she said to Li Si with some annoyance:

"Are you awake like this?"

"Well, that should be fine."

Li Si could tell that Taiya's mood was not very high. Although his emotions were well hidden just now, Li Si, who was very familiar with Taiya, was still keenly aware of it.

Then Li Si hugged Taya and sat on the bed, rubbed Taya's long blood-red hair, and asked with a smile:

"What's wrong? You're not in a good mood?"

"Um."

Taiya replied softly, buried her head in Li Si's arms, and asked in a muffled voice:

"I don't know if it's the right thing to do."

"Although Juou and the others are already undead, if Li Si unlocks this illusion, they will die directly from time to time."

"That's how it should be."

Li Si nodded.

Although undead creatures claim to have immortal life, that is just a side effect of the influence of the undead breath.

It is impossible for the souls of ordinary undead creatures to withstand the corrosion of the undead breath, and it is impossible to last for too long. Of course, if they evolve into higher-level undead creatures, there will be no such limitation.

However, for the vast majority of the undead residents of Ihailes, there is no such opportunity.

Even the legendary necromancer Ihailes couldn't help it. The power to maintain the entire illusion came from the bloody tower.

After the illusion was lifted, Tai, the legendary crown prince, no longer had enough power to promote all the undead residents to high-level undead to maintain their existence.

What's more, without the existence of illusion, it would be extremely difficult for the residents in the city to maintain their sanity under the influence of the undead power.

You must know that those high-level mages who choose to transform into lichs will find it difficult to maintain their sanity for a long time, and eventually become completely undead creatures, let alone the soul strength of ordinary people.

"But I think it's also a good thing for them."

Li Si said softly to Taiya:

"It would be too hopeless to live in a life with no end and no future in sight."

"I think their souls are quite tired, and sleeping is the best comfort for them."

"The same goes for Juou."

This was not what Li Si said to comfort Taiya, he really felt that way.

No matter what happened in that bloody tower, there is no doubt that the residents of this small town must have experienced a tragic tragedy.

The instigators may have passed away, but the pain caused to them will not disappear.

If this continues, even if the power in the Bloody Tower can maintain this illusion, sooner or later the souls of the residents will be unable to support it.

Rather than that, it would be better for Li Si to take action and send these souls to the underworld to rest.

Taiya nodded, feeling a little better.

For her, Juou is a rare friend she makes.

Although she was unwilling to face her friend's departure, this was the best future for Juou.

After comforting Taiya, Li Si left the hotel.

Although he had already placed his weight on Juou, Li Si was not sure whether he could really break through the seven-day cycle of this illusion with Juou's will.

If this still doesn't work, Li Si can only take Taiya away and return when he becomes a legend, freeing the city.

He was not ready to face Ihailes in the bloody tower now.

Li Si returned to the City Lord's Mansion to check the situation at the Bloody Tower. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he strengthened the barrier outside the tower.

At the same time, Li Si stopped by the town square and set up emergency teleportation arrays in many hidden places to prevent accidents from happening tomorrow.

After getting ready, Li Si returned to the hotel and stayed with Taiya to wait for the next day, which was the Eid al-Adha.

Early the next morning,

Li Si, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes.

When did I fall asleep last night?

Li Si looked at the sunlight shining into the room outside the window and was a little surprised. He had obviously made plans to stay up all night to deal with any possible dangers.

But I didn't expect it, and I just fell asleep like this for some reason.

but

Li Si checked his memory and found that it had not been modified like last time.

Have you really broken through the seven-day cycle?

Li Si was not sure. At this time, Taiya, who was lying next to him, also woke up. After tidying up, they walked down the stairs to the first floor.

"Mr. Li Si, Taiya, you are here!"

Juou, who was wearing light yellow casual clothes, his eyes lit up when he saw the two of them, and he hurriedly walked over.

"Let's go, Uncle Milo has already gone to the square, let's go too!"

Sure enough, I really broke through the seven-day cycle, and the key is indeed Juou!

Li Si was certain in his mind, and just as he was about to say something, a figure suddenly appeared at the door of the hotel.
