Beasts start from stone

"Anyway, welcome to Meno City, and I hope the glory of the Queen shines on you."

"However, Stone Eyed Cockatrice Jennifer is really a very terrifying and powerful person. I hope you can take good care of her."

Hannie stared at Hazel closely. For some reason, she had a vague feeling that this weak lady was the backbone of the four of them.

(Is he worthy of being a dream species? Or is Jennifer the only one who is special? They are all strong, but this city-defending knight is actually afraid of being like this.)
But now that Hannie had asked her, Hazel could only turn to Jennifer and ask:

"You don't mess around easily, do you, Jennifer?"

Jennifer tilted her head to the side and said silently:
"Oh"

"When did you see me actively attacking non-prey monsters?"

"If no one takes the initiative to harm us, I will never take action."

After getting Jennifer's promise, Hazel looked at Hannie nervously.

"Did you hear it too, Lord Knight?"

Hannie blinked her tens of thousands pairs of compound eyes, and her feeling seemed to be right.

"It's really unbelievable to me that a dream species can be so well-behaved."

"That puts me at ease, but if he causes anything, the responsibility will be on you."

Hanny wagged her tail and hid in the light image again.

"Eh!"

Hazel was startled, why did she feel like a guardian?

"Jennifer, are you sure you won't take the initiative to cause trouble?"

"Oh."

"It's so annoying, I already told you I wouldn't do it!"

"I'm not a militant. As long as I fight, I will get injured. Injuries are very painful."

Hanni looked at Jennifer in the light image, praying silently in her heart and at the same time shocked by what he was like now.

(Is this guy such an honest monster?)
(Or, this is the power of that lady. Unfortunately, I am too ignorant to recognize what kind of monster she is.)
After entering the city, Hazel looked inside curiously. This place was different from what she imagined.

Although it is said to be a city of nature and trees, there are actually streets made of stone. Green grass grows from the stone steps, showing its own vigorous life.

On both sides of the road, there are not only earthen insect nests, but also rows of stone pillars connected with crossbars to facilitate birds and insects to rest.

"Is this the city of Meon? It's so beautiful."

Various monsters gathered in groups on the street. Although Hazel knew them all, this was the first time she saw them in such numbers, and her eyes couldn't help but turn into starry eyes.

But after seeing Jennifer, the surrounding monsters closed their doors and hid in their homes.

Only a few bold birds were left hovering in the air, looking down.

"Nan Nan."

"Jennifer, your influence is really scary."

"Kri."

"That's it."

Regarding this chorus, Jennifer looked a little complicated. Whose problem is this?It's just that there are too many coincidences.

In order to help Jennifer relieve her embarrassment, Hazel said:

"None of that matters, Jennifer."

"Is there a tavern or something like that on this street? I want to ask my friends for information."

"Oh?"

"Little miss, do you remember anything?"

"No, I can just remember a few simple outlines."

Hazel's memory is still quite confusing, and there are only half-black and half-white blocks of color in her mind. "Kri."

"That's right. Although those drunkards look crooked, they come from the entire country of Boi. The pub has the most information."

Jennifer looked at Arthur with interest. This guy has really grown a lot since he got his name.

Is it the power of "Hazel"?
"Oh."

"Although the residents here are not very smart, I do know a smart tavern owner."

"He is also an exotic monster. He just relied on his own wisdom to open a tavern in Meno City. Maybe the young lady is from the same country as him."

"Look there. There is a big wooden house, right? This is the only tavern in the town."

"Unlike Bolton's house, this place is not made of wood and vines, but a structure I have never seen before."

“It’s amazing to think of a solid house built using only wood.”

"Nannan?"

"I've only heard of houses made of coral stone or something like that. How is it possible to build a building using only wood?"

"Kri."

"We'll find out if the truth is true. Let's go, my little lady."

Arthur pointed at his back, but Hazel was a little embarrassed. It was not running for her life now, so she definitely didn't have to carry it on her back.

The road was not long. When approaching the wooden house, Hazel smelled a sweet smell of alcohol, which was the smell of fermented fruit.

The two-door door is very wide and is closed at this time, probably to prevent the noisy sound in the tavern from affecting people outside.

It was almost dusk now. Even if she didn't come to ask for news, Hazel would have to find a hotel to stay.

Opening the store door, it was not as messy as Hazel thought, but there were many small square tables placed in an orderly manner.

One small table was even used as the ground and many smaller tables were placed to facilitate the gathering of ultra-small monsters such as flies and butterflies.

(This store manager is as meticulous as a needle.)
The monsters were talking quietly about their own affairs, and even deliberately lowered the sound of chewing.

Most of the people who change their pace in response to new arrivals just look at them and then return to their original pace.

(This is not like a pub, but more like...)
"Chirp?"

"My dear guests, where are you from? It's getting late and it's difficult to travel in a hurry. Would you like to rest or stay in a hotel?"

A broad-tailed corolla hovered in front of Hazel, asking about the guests.

Hearing this familiar tone, Hazel felt her face wet. She stretched out her hand and wiped it with tears.

"Chirp!"

"What's wrong with you, guest officer!"

The Broad-tailed Corolla was extremely flustered when it saw the guest crying. It stopped in place, not knowing how to deal with it.

Hazel wiped away the tears on her face and comforted the waiter.

"I'm fine. I just felt a little emotional when I heard the dialect from my hometown. I haven't seen my fellow villagers for a long time."

"Chirp?"

Broad-tailed Corolla was a little confused, but he was also a little embarrassed to ask.

Hazel was keenly aware of the other party's embarrassment, and she quickly explained:

"Your words were probably taught by your shopkeeper. Maybe I am a fellow villager (homie) with your shopkeeper."

"Chirp!"

This was great news for Broad-tailed Corolla. Not only him, but also the guests couldn't help but take a second look at Hazel.

Their boss also once claimed that he did not belong to the country of Boi, but this was regarded as a joke by the clerk and customers.
