Chapter 14 The Town Hotel

The three traveling horses stopped in front of a brightly lit inn, and when they pushed open the wooden grating door of the inn and ordered two roast chickens, a fruit and vegetable plate, four steaks and borscht, they heard what the taverns were talking about.

It is said that three of Hossen's military mages and two priests of the Temple of Tyranny were found dead in a mansion in the early hours of this morning.

The servants who served them saw that the reception room was open all night, and mistakenly thought that they were talking about confidential matters, so they did not dare to disturb them. I didn't know that at breakfast in the morning, I found that five well-known characters in Taylor City had all died tragically in the hall.

The army quickly took over everything, judging from the layout inside, there was no trace of a battle at the scene, but the five people more or less had a moving position, according to the analysis of the city guard system that took over later, these people resisted a little bit.

They are not weak, and the average level of three to four rings is also considered a strong force in the land of Losente. But there were five of them, and they didn't even have time to cast spells, and they were all served in one pot.

As for the fact that there was no trace of the murderer at the scene, it is not an unusual thing compared to the fact that the dead were covered in blood.

Although this town is not very prosperous, it is not far from Taylor City, so that the gossip has long spread to this town.

Charlotte's inn wasn't very luxurious, but it was one of the best in the town. As soon as they entered the town, they found that the lights had been turned off early in the town, and they finally caught a pedestrian asking where to stay, and the man was quite wary and did not want to talk about it, but pointed to the direction of the hotel distantly.

When Charlotte's master and apprentice followed the road to the inn, which was said to be the most upscale of the hotel, they saw the three-story single-story wooden house lit with candles, and stood outside the door handing over the traveling horse to the horse boy in an old linen shirt, and several people could occasionally hear some noise from the wine room in the hotel lobby.

This voice is a small part compared to the peacetime period, and it can be seen that the people who drink at the hotel are somewhat uneasy.

When I stepped on the wooden stairs to enter the hotel, there was only a slight creaking sound on the stairs, which confirmed that the hotel was not bad. But when Lolita, who has many hands and feet, props up her hands on the handrails of the stairs, she finds that a thin layer of dust has fallen on the handrails.

For this reason, Lolita also complained that "this store looks good, but the actual management is not very good". But as soon as she said this, she probably realized that something was wrong, stuck out her tongue and shut up.

During the war years of Gain, no one was in the same mood as before.

It is worth mentioning that when several people entered the wine hall in the hotel lobby, the drinkers who were still whispering stopped talking instantly, and stared at the four uninvited guests with eyes full of vigilance and rejection.

In addition to their appearance, Charlotte and her disciples were wearing brown robes, and the appearance of several people following the greedy Elle made people suspect that these three people were the guards of the silver-haired young girl in blue and white dresses.

As for the aftermath, Ai'er complained that the vegetables were full of insect eyes, that the roast chicken was inevitably too thin, and that the tomatoes in borscht were not tasty at all, which confirmed the speculation of the drinkers.

As for her complaints, the proprietress who could still see the charm of her youth was just silently busy with her work at the bar, neither refuting nor explaining. Just rubbing the plate with a heavy heart, the corners of his eyes that had already appeared crow's feet glanced at the bar door from time to time as if expectantly and worriedly, and then quickly lowered his head and once again concentrated on wiping the plate that was about to be rubbed off the glaze.

One of the drinkers shouted to the proprietress what she thought of what had happened today, but the proprietress just smiled and shook her head, a smile that was somewhat obscured in the shadows behind the bar. If this is repeated a few times, no one will ask the hostess about the topic again.

"Teacher. At the dinner table, Vivien whispered her thoughts while scooping the soup, "This proprietress seems to be a little ...... Isn't that right?"

The cautious Vivien saw a clue somewhat, and Lolita followed suit and reacted. Judging from the fact that the drinkers asked the hostess for their opinions from time to time, the middle-aged woman who was busy behind the bar still had some energy.

"Would you like to ask her?" Lolita felt that dealing with people was her specialty, and she planned to find out about Losente's current situation, "just give me a gold coin!"

The short-haired female mage poked her hand, revealing a bright smile with little tiger teeth, but she had the demeanor of some profiteers in later generations. It doesn't take a single gold coin to get information, and the rest is definitely in her pocket.

Charlotte glanced at her angrily, shook her head and denied her plan, "Don't act rashly, that boss lady doesn't seem to be simple, and we are already conspicuous enough." ”

"I don't know when this day will end!"

Next, a yellow-toothed, dark-faced bucktooth man snorted at a low quality ale and spoke loudly. But before it was about to resonate with the drinkers, she was interrupted by the proprietress who was always busy with something, which confirmed Charlotte's guess.

The proprietress who was always secretive and constantly busy, suddenly smashed the tray on the bar as the drinkers chimed in. Then the eyebrows are upside down, one hand is crossed on the waist, quite a shrew posture in the streets and alleys.

At that moment, the previous image of diligence and kindness disappeared, and the market atmosphere with sharp teeth and sharp mouth jumped on the paper.

"Buckteeth! When will you pay back the wine money on credit! I have a long mouth and a short mouth like a girl all day long, and my hard-earned wages are thrown in the casino in the west of the town before I have time to heat up! Do you still want to be a bachelor for the rest of your life?! The lame people in the east have all begged for their daughters-in-law..."

What follows is nothing more than some gossip about the Yellow Tooth Drinker's lack of business and idleness, it seems that the proprietress is not a little bigger than the Yellow Tooth Drinker, but this even damage and scolding made the Yellow Tooth Drinker's face pale and unable to return his mouth.

The man still had the face to stay here, so he pretended to be bold and slapped the dozen or so copper coins in his pocket on the table, looked at the sweat-stained coins with distress, and did not think about whether it was enough to pay off the liquor debt, pushed open the door and left the inn as if he had fled.

A complaint about the war and the conquerors disappeared, and the proprietress scolded the drinkers in the lobby to the point where they couldn't raise their heads, which also showed that she usually had a lot of say in the town. Finally, she glanced at Charlotte very covertly.

When she noticed Charlotte looking at her with her smiling red eyes, she pulled back her hair from her sideburns and returned to her work at the bar.

Is this a coincidence? Charlotte felt that this boss lady was a little uneasy.

On the other side, the struck Yellow Tooth Wine politely walked down the wooden stairs of the hotel. bumped into a person head-on, but before he could exhale the pain, he was pushed away.

Yellowfang looked up angrily, but bowed his head in horror at the sight of the brightly armored team. The leading officer did not look at the drinker, and rudely pushed open the grille door of the hotel.

With the creaking of the door, everyone in the lobby poured their attention into the visitors. The innkeeper looked up, as if panicked but relieved, and after a moment of change of expression, she looked at the Hotson soldier calmly.

There is something in the wind!
