Wizard: Become stronger by drawing cards from the potions variety show

Chapter 633 No punishment?

Just after a few people had discussed and decided on their groups, the mayor came over with a few people.

Although the mayor looks a little old, he is not scary. Moreover, because he is smiling, he looks kind. From his eyebrows and eyes, one can vaguely tell that he must have been a handsome guy when he was young.

As he came over, he said to Nick:

"I heard about your situation from the villagers. I'm sorry about what happened to you, but since you came here, it was God's guidance. You can stay here today. I hope you can have a happy Harvest Festival."

Nick noticed the words "God's guidance" in the words and asked, "Just now during the parade, I saw a church in the town. Can we visit it?"

The mayor smiled and said, "Of course, but the pastor inside will have a strange temper. I hope you don't mind."

Theresa suddenly said, "It didn't seem to be open when we went there before."

The mayor was slightly stunned, and seemed very surprised: "Not open? I remember that guy should have been in the church the whole time... But it doesn't matter, maybe it's too noisy during the Harvest Festival. You can visit him after the Harvest Festival."

The mayor said, and suddenly he showed a look of realization: "Oh, by the way, there is one important thing I forgot to mention."

"This man is old, and his memory is much worse."

"It's been a long time since outsiders have come to our town, so if you need anything, you can always tell the townspeople you see. However, after the banquet is over, don't come out again. If possible, don't open the door no matter what you hear."

Nick asked, "Why is that? Is there some devil here?"

The mayor was stunned, then he started coughing and laughed, saying, "Hahaha, young people have rich imaginations."

"It's nothing, it's just our custom. To be honest, it's probably to prevent jackals and wild cats from wandering out at night. Those ghosts here are all spirits. They will imitate human behavior and voices, and say vague words to lure you out. Although there is no life-threatening danger, it is true that you can get hurt easily."

After that, the mayor said to the people he brought with him: "These are guests who have come from afar. We must take good care of them. If they have any requests, they must be met."

After a few more pleasantries, the mayor left.

Nick, Theresa and Horn sat down, and another team member came over reluctantly.

Nick was the first to speak in a low voice: "I feel a little strange. The mayor came here and seemed to be telling us specifically not to come out at night."

Theresa nodded, she felt the same way.

"There must be some secrets at night, but... it's hard for us to find out the information from them."

Horn was so frightened that he had to think about the three people being transformed by abnormal events right in front of him. Even though he was very hungry, he still had no mood to eat.

After hearing what Nick and Theresa said, he couldn't help but say, "Let's listen to the advice of the locals. They have lived here in peace for so long, they must have their own way."

Now Horn hopes to wait until tomorrow. After dawn, the harvest festival will be over and he can leave the town. Whatever happens here by then will have nothing to do with him.

Nick sighed. He had an idea in his mind, but he didn't intend to say it out loud before verifying it.

Horn's performance also gave Nick a new judgment.

When choosing your teammates, you must be careful. Guys like Horn, who shrink back at critical moments, are likely to cause big problems.

Nick was somewhat impressed by Theresa. Although she tended to be conservative, she had strong insight and ability to endure, which were her strengths.

Thinking of this, Nick said to Theresa: "Can you tell me what happened after we joined the parade?"

Theresa nodded: "Of course, but you also have to tell me about your side."

"of course."

Nick and Theresa hit it off and began to talk about their experiences.

……

On the other side, Miles got along well with three Knicks players.

The three members of Nick's team wanted to test Miles to see if she had obtained more information or something good like the "Rules Scroll".

Miles is quite frank and says whatever he thinks.

The good stuff hasn’t arrived, but there is still some information.

So he told all the warnings he saw on the signboard without hiding anything.

And when it comes to the end, Miles is a little confused: "I have already told Nick about these things, don't you know?"

The three of them looked at each other and naturally thought of the many times Nick had talked to Miles before. In addition, Nick used the rule paper to directly turn the three people on the other side into scapegoats, which further proved that Nick knew more information.

Moreover, they were not aware of this information.

They felt a little uncomfortable, but said to Miles: "Maybe Nick forgot..."

Miles was delighted.

Forgot? This reason is probably not even convincing to them. In abnormal events, information is the most important thing. If key information is concealed, they must feel uncomfortable.

Even if you say that you have your own ideas and plan to find an opportunity to tell them, it is better than forgetting this reason.

Miles raised his eyebrows and whispered to the others, "I think we should make plans early. I'm not saying that we want to target Nick, but let me tell you something very realistic. If he plans to take action, we can't just sit there and wait for death..."

The other three hesitated, and one of them said, "What do you mean?"

Miles spoke frankly: "I hope we can form an alliance. Of course, I don't ask for things like sharing life and death. After all, it's not realistic. We can help each other if we can, but we have to share information. Is that ok?"

The three people thought about it and felt that it was a sure win for them. There was strength in numbers and there was nothing to refuse.

"no problem."

The three people agreed readily.

Miles said: "Okay, now that we have formed an alliance, let me tell you my plan first."

"I'm planning on getting out of here."

After they formed an alliance, the first words Miles said surprised the three people.

"Leaving? Not attending the party?"

Miles shook his head: "I'm not going to participate."

Afterwards, Miles explained his thoughts to the three people in detail:

"In the information I just told you, there was a mention of a blood feast, and you need to leave as soon as possible before the blood feast. I understand that this banquet is most likely the blood feast."

"There's a good chance that something terrible will happen at this banquet."

"If you think back to the rules, the food on the tray and the pumpkin thrown in, these are all related to food. Did you notice that the plates over there are all golden?"

Miles pointed to the side. From this angle, he could clearly see the dining table not far away, with piles of golden plates on it.

The three people were a little confused, and one of them asked, "So what if it's gold?"

"So the food on those plates can't be eaten, the rules say only the food on the blue tray is safe to eat."

The three people craned their necks and even sat up from their chairs, but still couldn't find the blue tray.

"But, we don't see the blue tray."

“Those boxes that have the big roasts in them are blue,” Myers said.

"That's not right. Those seem to be made of stainless steel and have no color." Someone asked in confusion. If there are only blue trays, then these should not match.

Miles explained easily:

"It's night time now, but don't you notice that the moon is exceptionally bright? The silver dinner plate reflects the night sky, which is a deep blue."

The three of them stared at each other in silence for a long time before someone spoke up: "It seems a bit forced."

"really."

This kind of logic sounds like a brain teaser and is full of sophistry.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I've already told you. Believe it or not." Miles said indifferently, then smiled at the few people, "I'm leaving first. I wish you good luck."

After Miles finished speaking, he stood up and said to the resident next to him: "I feel a little unwell. Can I take my things back?"

The residents will naturally not refuse.

Miles took out a few pieces of meat from the stainless steel box containing the barbecue using a plastic bag. She weighed them and found that they were much more than she normally ate. However, considering that she would get hungry very quickly here, she needed to bring more.

Then she decisively took the meat and left, leaving the three people without looking back.

From a distance, they could still vaguely see Miles walking towards the house that was assigned to them at the beginning. At the same time, Miles raised his head and grabbed the meat directly with his hands...

Maybe this is also a blue tray? Also to circumvent the rules?

Judging from the contact just now, Miles might be a little neurotic after the previous incident, but her actions were so natural.

Three people sat at the table, and one of them asked, "What do we do now?"

"How about we retreat too?"

"Let's wait and see. Miles may not be safe. After all, she just came back after disappearing. What if she wants to lure us..."

The three people were worried.

They are all ordinary people. In unusual events, they feel that everyone seems to have their own plans and no one can be trusted.

Even the rules written on the parchment can be interpreted differently.

"Hey..." Looking at the empty seats, the guy sitting opposite Miles stood up and said, "We don't have to leave here like her, but we can go and choose the meat first. If what Miles said is right, then there will be no problem. If she is wrong..."

Upon hearing this, the other two people also stood up immediately.

……

Miles's departure before had attracted the attention of Nick's table. Now seeing the remaining three people standing up, he couldn't help it anymore.

Nick asked, "What's wrong with you? What happened? Why did Miles leave?"

The three of them didn't stop walking, and took the time to turn around and answer: "Myers is not feeling well, so he went back first. We are very hungry, so we went to get food first."

This explanation seemed reasonable, but Nick instinctively felt that these three people seemed to be hiding something from him.

But he didn't know how to ask, and he couldn't just forcefully question him.

Seeing that the other party actually went to the food distribution table nearby to get the meat and brought it back to eat, and other than that, there was no other movement, so Nick put his doubts in his heart.

Soon, the townspeople came with food. The golden plates looked very beautiful, with barbecue, fruits, cakes and all kinds of other things on them.

But none of them had the intention to take action.

The reason is very simple, because the plate is not blue. According to the rules, only food on the blue plate can be eaten safely.

Nick stood up and asked the waiter beside him: "Excuse me, do you have blue plates?"

The waiter shook his head. “We don’t have blue trays, only gold and silver.”

Nick felt a little numb after getting the waiter's answer.

This was a bit of a problem; without the blue tray, they couldn't be sure whether the food in front of them was safe.

The four people's stomachs were rumbling at this moment, making a thunderous sound. They were extremely hungry.

Theresa was the first to speak: "We have eaten food served to us before, and there was no blue tray either. The food here that says it is safe to eat is on a blue tray, but it does not say that food that is not on a blue tray is unsafe. Perhaps the key is whether there is blood on the food."

"If you're worried, I'll try it first."

As Teresa spoke, she picked up a steak from the golden plate. The roasted steak had a charred aroma, and its golden color and crispy crust whetted her appetite.

Theresa tore a piece of meat with her teeth, chewed it twice, and swallowed it whole, with a satisfied expression on her face: "Great."

Nick and the others did not act rashly, but just waited quietly for the result of Theresa's eating. At the same time, they saw several people at another table eating barbecue.

After waiting for a while, Theresa had finished eating the barbecue and nothing unexpected happened.

Nick fell into thought:

What Theresa said made sense. They had already eaten the food before they knew about this. At that time, there was no tray, not even a container. It was simply handed to them by the residents, and they were fine anyway.

Does this mean that even if you break the rules, you won't necessarily be punished? Or does this mean that the content of the rules may not be correct?

After all, these rules were provided by Miles, who did not even attend the bonfire party this time, and his behavior of leaving directly was somewhat suspicious.
