Chapter 532: The People
The sister inn in downtown Twilight City has undergone dozens of renovations and expansions since its inception and has become a landmark of the city.
Originally covering an area of only more than 100 square meters, the small shop with a duplex structure has now expanded into a theme courtyard integrating a leisure park, a large restaurant, and a high-rise hotel.
The sister hostel is picturesque, the food is delicious, and the service is attentive, but the best thing about this place is that all the staff here are all female aliens.
Karin Foreman, the current manager of the sister inn, sits in her study on the top floor of the hotel, sipping fruit tea and flipping through the week's accounts.
Rubbing her sore eyes, Karin put down her account book and turned her head to look out the window.
The sound of children's laughter in the park made a faint smile unconsciously appear on her lips.
The door suddenly opened, and a woman in a pink shirt rubbed her stomach and said loudly, "I'm so hungry!"
Karin didn't reply, and said directly: "Cosette, I have asked the kitchen to leave you a good meal, and it will be delivered later." ”
Cosette, who has the "Tesla parasite" in her body, turns her neck and wrists, and complains bitterly: "I'm tired these days, and every day I go to the navy to experiment with new weapons!"
Karin said helplessly: "I told you, don't mention those weapon experiments, don't forget, someone has repeatedly told you before that those experiments are strictly confidential. ”
Cosette pouted and whispered, "It's not like I'm going to participate in some weapon experiments......
Before the words fell, another woman in blue, carrying a food box, walked into the room.
Karin turned to look at the woman who walked in and asked, "Pamel, did Sister Rachel eat those meals cooked in the restaurant?"
Pamel sat down next to Cosette, placed the food box on the table, opened the lid and said to Karin, "As usual, Sister Rachel has only eaten a little...... She spends her days in the library, studying the ancient texts of Taylor, and she doesn't even bother to eat. ”
Karin approached the food box, looked at the food that had not been touched at all, and said with a frown: "She didn't eat much breakfast today, it's not good for her health to go on like this...... For dinner, I ask the kitchen to make some bread and snacks that are easy to keep. ”
Pamela nodded in response.
Cosette looked at Karin and suddenly asked, "Do you remember, there was a small talk before, Sister Rachel accidentally asked us if we could leave here and live in a new world, and she asked us if we would like to go?"
Karin was stunned: "To live in the new world?"
Cosette shook her head vigorously: "If what Sister Raisel said is true, then where would she be referring to the new world? Is it the continent of the East? or the South?"
Pamela interjected at this time: "I think the current Twilight City is very good, the life here is stable, the materials are abundant, and the most important thing is that the Kingdom of Heaven and the Holy King are protecting us, why should we abandon this place and go to a new world?"
"Holy King ......"
Karin turned her head away, looking out the window at the bright sunshine and beautiful scenery, and for a moment fell into deep thought.
Twenty kilometers north of Twilight City, halfway up the Falling Star Mountains, there is a griffin farm.
In the misty sky above the snowy peaks, several griffons carried passengers over the mountains and finally slowly landed on the high platform of the farm.
Carol the orc rolled over and jumped off the griffin's back, and as he touched the feathers of the great bird, he took a silver coin from his bosom and threw it to the nurse who walked towards him.
Before thanking him, Carroll had climbed the ladder to the ground and looked up at the high platform on the other side.
Aldenan, who had come down from the other griffin, grabbed the edge of the platform, kicked his legs, and jumped lightly from it.
The werewolf moved his arms and neck, looked at the orc, and said, "I like the feeling of walking on the ground more than a griffin." ”
Carol patted the dust off her body and said angrily, "Don't complain, flying on a griffin is the fastest route from Froststone City to Twilight City. ”
Aldenan shrugged his shoulders as he watched the two apprentices run past him, looking at the Holy Cult Army insignia on his chest with envy, "Although I used to live in Twilight City, I prefer to stay in Froststone City now. Everything is a little more 'organized' there than it is here. Moreover, if I want something, I can just ask the village directly, and I don't need to go through the trouble of scraping together enough money. ”
Carol took a big stride towards the exit of the farm, and said in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense, there is still business to do, the ship transporting the war beast will soon arrive in the port." ”
Avoiding an ostrich-sized griffon cub beside him, Aldenan winked at Carol, "I understand your eagerness...... Miss Barbara had already arrived at the port of Twilight......"
"It has nothing to do with her. ”
"Nothing to do with her?"
"Shut your foul mouth!"
The orcs and werewolves stepped out of the gate of the griffin farm and walked along the winding mountain road towards the distant city of Twilight.
As he walked, Aldenan said seemingly unintentionally, "I heard that the Holy King has not been back to the city for two weeks. ”
Carol didn't stop: "So what?"
Aldnan raised an eyebrow: "Three months ago, the Holy King entered the 'Demon Eye' of the Ancient Purple City and brought out a large number of strange-shaped war beasts from that huge sinkhole. Half a month ago, most of these war beasts had been tamed by the Holy King, ready to be transported to every city for various purposes. ”
"After the Holy King had dealt with the affairs of the war beast, someone witnessed him leave the temple and dive into the deep sea...... Aren't you curious at all about what the next time the Holy King returns, what kind of things will he bring to the Dragon Kingdom?"
Carroll glanced at Aldenan, "It's not something you and I should think about. ”
Aldenan smiled bitterly: "Sometimes, I really don't know what to say about you...... We are obviously the first soldiers of the Holy Cult Army, but we are not even as good as those of the North Islanders who have just finished the transformation ceremony, don't you want to fight for it, it will also benefit you and Miss Barbara......"
Carol stopped and turned his head to stare into Aldenan's eyes: "I said, those things are not for you and me to speculate, and doing every job of the Holy Sect Army is the most important task at the moment. ”
"And now, the Shaman's Gathering has given the two of us the task of rushing to Twilight City as soon as possible to assist in the transportation of war beasts. ”
Aldnan sighed: "Okay, okay. I'm not going to do any more, as you said, let's rush to the port of Twilight as soon as possible to help unload the cargo. ”
