Dawn of the Grey Tower

After another day when the sun rises and falls, the just-rising night is still wrapped in residual temperature, so that all those who have experienced a day's work can't wait to hug the tavern to enjoy their leisure after work. So the tavern owner skillfully calculated the time, instructed the waiter to do the preparation work, and then went to the fireplace by himself, took out a piece of ignition paper from the dark side, and ignited it with a pipe in his mouth. Throw into the fireplace. The small flame quickly expanded on the dry firewood, and the fire fork helped to turn over, allowing fresh air to flow in. The blazing flame even once jumped out of the fireplace, almost igniting the beard carefully built by the boss.

"Good, good." The boss said softly, as if to appease the flame in the fireplace. Over time, when the fire in the fireplace finally calmed down, the earliest guests also stepped into the tavern. The tavern is always very busy when it gets into the night. This situation has to be relieved when the night calms down and the enthusiasm accumulated by people like a fire changes from a burst state to a warm glow of quiet burning.

The main course was removed, leaving only wine glasses and a few dishes on the guests ’table. The waiter whispered behind the wooden bar while wiping glasses and plates. The boss nodded, took out a wine glass with his own hands, filled a large glass of ale from the barrel, and placed it on the fire to remove the coldness brought by the barrel. This glass of wine was prepared for a special regular customer.

"Squeak" The sound of the wooden door of the tavern was pushed open, so that everyone's voice stopped suddenly. Cheers.

"Sorry, I have to put my grandson to sleep first. The story told to him yesterday made him too excited. Today he has been playing a pirate." The old man said to the boss and others with a smile, then walked slowly. Sit down on that seat by the fireplace and reach for the glass. He shook the already warm liquor in the glass, "Where did we talk about yesterday? Ah, I remembered ... The next story may be more, um, magic, but I promise it will also be very wonderful."

When there is no moon in the cloudless night sky, the light from the night sky may not be reduced, but people can't avoid dizziness when they raise their heads. There is no way that there are so many stars in the sky. Who knows which one to watch? Who knows which star guides the way home, which one will lead people into the dark ditch, which one is auspicious, and which one is a bad omen? Even those who pretend to be astrologers may lose themselves in this dazzling moonless night. So where do we go from here?

Sit in the seat, fill your wine glass, my friends, we are about to go, the starry sky without the moon.
