The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 520: winter

The room was unbelievably warm, and the flickering fire in the fireplace lit the painted mahogany walls the color of honey.

With the help of the enthusiastic aunt wearing a checkered scarf, Xiao En and his party took off their coats and hung them on the hangers at the door.

The shopkeeper's aunt obviously knew Mr. Pan Sha, and the two had been exchanging warm greetings, but it seemed that Xiao En and his party were a little silent.

A bearded man and a curly-haired young man in a white hat sat on a wooden table in the distance. After seeing a customer entering the store, they stopped playing chess in front of them and walked into the back kitchen.

In addition, there are two old people drinking in the store, and they don't seem to mind the arrival of the explorer.

"There are also some secret explorers in Junyer." Pan Sha shrugged and led Sean and the others to sit at a large table. "The locals are not surprised by secret explorers."

"That's good." Sean didn't want to attract too much attention.

"Mrs. Burger, it's the same thing—everyone has a share."

Mrs. Berg nodded with a smile, and told Sean and the others to wait a while before walking towards the bar.

Sean, who was seated, had a panoramic view of the layout of the tavern.

The eyes of the huge reindeer head on the wall are brightened by the fire.

There is a striking oil painting hanging on the wall, which is different from ordinary scenes or portraits. The oil painting seems to depict a scene from a heroic epic - three heroes fearlessly facing a tall monster with a huge animal skull .

The tables are made of tung oiled logs that have been cut very evenly, and the whole room has a nice smell of pine wood baked by the fire.

Several huge wine barrels are placed in the corner, with the name and year of the winery printed on them.

After a short conversation, Mrs. Berg came out with a few large ceramic cups: "Drink something warm first!"

Through the glass window next to it, you can see the black stele and two rows of streetlights extending out.

The surroundings were completely dark. It stands to reason that such a time would make outsiders feel like they are in a foreign land...

However, taking a sip of Moonlight from the ceramic cup, he felt a warm, sweet taste pouring into his body—the atmosphere of Berg's tavern and the drink in the cup prevented him from feeling homesick in time.

"What is this?" Moonlight raised his brows, the mask was stained with pink foam near the lips, and the soloist seemed to have grown a beard.

"Hot **** ale with brandy, honey, and apple juice—Mrs. Berg's special 'heart-warming drink'..."

The sweet taste sank, and the slightly drunken pleasure rose up.

Sean sighed slightly. His shoulders, which had been strained by the incident on the train, relaxed.

Olivia's nimble fingers were also tapping the warm porcelain cup in her hand. Obviously, although she didn't feel the beauty of the warm drink, she was also infected by the relaxed atmosphere at the moment.

Mrs. Berg and her husband, who seemed not to be good at talking, brought out the food in good time, and Mr. Pansa introduced the food as he picked it up.

Sandwiches of honey-baked venison, grilled fish fillets, and potato and cheese bisque.

The cold weather whets the appetite, and Xiao En feels that these high-energy foods are surprisingly delicious. Pairing them with warm hot drinks can drive away the chill that has gradually accumulated in the body before.

At this moment, Moonlight felt that if this trip was not for searching for the missing Ivan, it might really be called a wonderful journey.

After eating in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, the food and the fire warmed up the cold hands and feet, the brandy drink made the face slightly hot, and the mind felt a little light. Mrs. Berg and Mr. The luggage was carried to the upstairs room.

The Berger family lived on the third floor, and vacated the second floor as a guest room for rent, and they were not afraid of being guests as explorers.

There are three rooms, Mr. Pansha and Olivia each have a single room, while Sean and Moonlight live in a guest room with two beds as gentlemen.

As soon as Moonlight entered the door, he threw off his leather shoes, and started to put hot water in the bathtub—three days on the train, so he wanted to take a hot bath very much at this moment.

In the dense steam, soak the body in warm water, supplemented by the lingering wine...

Moonlight felt his muscles relax, as if he was floating in heaven.

"There are many things to do in winter that are more enjoyable..." Moonlight blushed her cheeks, and wrapped herself in a bathrobe in the warm bathroom, "Hot drinks, hot food, and a hot bath..."

After taking turns taking a bath, both of them put their completely relaxed bodies on the soft bed.

Moonlight emptied his head, reminiscing about the taste of dinner.

Sean closed his eyes, sensing everything like a routine check.

The believers are still doing the last busy work of the day, and have not yet started the Midnight Confession.

Aaliyah, wearing the **** rose, was alone at home, reading a book peacefully.

In the black mansion, Shawshank was still meditating with his eyes closed. Compared with the day when he set off, the candlelight in the ground increased a few more...

Considering the task of finding Evan Burns early tomorrow morning, Sean and Moonlight tacitly decided to turn off the lights early.

Sean sank into the soft bed and fell asleep almost as soon as the lights went out

Ever since he established Ms. Hershey's faith, Sean's sleep has always been deep and thick. When he was sleeping in the dreamland, he suddenly heard someone calling in a low voice.

"resemble!"

"resemble!"

Sean opened his hazy eyes, he forgot where he was for a moment.

With the very weak light, he saw a spherical mirror in front of him, reflecting the starlight on his mask.

"Soloist?" Sean rubbed his eyes through the mask with his hand, "What's wrong?"

Although he couldn't see Moonlight's expression, Sean could hear his heart beating faster.

This heartbeat made him wake up a little bit, and his memory began to work—they were in the guest room of Jungyer, Berg's house.

Moonlight's voice was so low that Xiao En could almost see his terrified eyes through the mask: "Xiao! Out of the window!"

Moonlight seemed to be short of words for a while, and could only point to the windows covered by brown linen curtains.

What happened outside the window? Sean's quality as a mystery seeker quickly alerted him~lightnovelpub.net~ He got up lightly and touched the window.

—Sean knows that although Moonlight has always been bluffing because of his mental sensitivity, it is by no means ordinary things that can scare him.

Sean tried his best to breathe evenly, lifted a corner of the curtain with his hands, and looked out the window...

There is fog on the glass.

Sean stared at the fog on the glass, watching a vortex form on it, wiping the fog into a neat circle—he didn't wipe it with his hands, he used ectoplasm.

Looking out of the window through that circle, Sean didn't see anything unusual.

What happened? Without looking back, the vibrating card asked.

Downstairs, on the square!

Only then did Sean adjust his gaze and look towards the square...
