In addition to that, let's talk about the most famous place in the city, the "Pier Opera", where the country's largest opera company, "Monro", is located......
I don't say any of that, because it has nothing to do with me.
My name is Raygram, I was an executioner a few months ago, and now I am a ...... The person who runs a small smoke hotel.
......
Somewhere in Haihui City, on a corner between the middle of the city and the old city outside the city, there is a small newly opened cigarette hotel.
There are potted plants at the door of the ladder-shaped house, filling the deserted street corner with a little human flavor, and on the other side of the single door is a large cabinet with bottles and cans, which seem to be wine and other things, after all, there is a small sign above the door that reads the word "tobacco and alcohol", and there are tobacco and other things on the bare half of the window, and the rest is only wine.
At this time, the shopkeeper was sitting idly in the doorway basking in the sun.
Raygram felt the enthusiasm of the summer, his right hand couldn't stop fanning, the sweat continued to flow, and finally stopped as if giving up, he sighed helplessly, and then lay motionless on the chair and collapsed.
Anyway, there are no guests, to hell with the image or something.
......
And not far around the corner, a pair of gorgeously dressed men and women were slowly walking towards this direction.
"Ahh
"Wait a minute, I'll look at the map again, it stands to reason that I am going this way from the city gate......" The man was dripping with sweat, and he didn't bother to wipe it, and hurriedly flipped through the map, staring carefully to know if he was going the right way.
"Ahh!!h
"Ah, bear with me a little longer, my dear...... Well, it's hard to do, and there is no one nearby to ask, so I knew that I would ask the soldiers at the city gate. The man whispered softly as he looked around in distress.
"Ah, my dear, you see, there's a shop over there that sells tobacco and alcohol, so we can go and ask. ”
"Really, De Meng, where, how I didn't see it. The woman wiped away her tears and looked in the direction of the man's finger.
"Really, De Meng, I'll ask!" After that, the woman trotted to the small shop on the corner of the street, and saw a man sitting in the doorway.
"Ah, ...... you" The woman was about to ask happily, but she couldn't help but say intermittently when she saw the shopkeeper's indifferent expression, emotionless eyes, and demonic aura surrounding the man. "You...... You...... Hmm, ahh......h
Regram was very depressed now, and when he heard someone approaching not far away, he stood upright like a spring, and was sitting, waiting for passers-by to pass by, and his image was more important than anything else.
But...... For some reason, the woman cried when she saw her, as if she had seen some terrible monster.
"What's wrong!" At this time, the man named Demenger saw the woman crying, and hurriedly ran over to hug her, "Isn't it ......?"
The man said, raising his head and meeting Regram's eyes.
"What for. Regram asked softly, he seemed to be scared of the woman, so be gentle.
"Uh-huh, ahh
"Ah, hmm...... Ah, that'..... That's, I'm sorry!" Demon replied tremblingly.
"Huh?" Regram looked at the man and woman in front of him strangely, and suddenly apologized for something.
"Ah......h
"I'm not angry. ”
"Huh?"
"Calm down, I'm not angry, is there anything you guys are up to. ”
After a complicated explanation mixed with exclamations such as "Executioner?!" and "Executioner?!", De Menger saw that his wife had calmed down and continued to ask.
"That's right, we want to find a place to stay, preferably quieter, safer, cleaner, we came here from another city to play, but the first time we came, we haven't brought a servant yet, and we are a little lost. ”
"Is that so. Raygram looked up and down, the fabrics were in the style of the north, no wonder he was wearing slightly thicker clothes on such a hot and dry summer.
So he got up and closed the door, "Come with me." So he took the couple and walked in the direction of the old city.
Turning around, bypassing the chaotic and charming market, skipping the crowded shopping streets, and passing the lively Haihui Square, you came to the other side of the city, the quaint old city "Shiling Ju".
"This ...... Here it is?!" The young couple looked incredulously at the sight in front of them.
Houses made of brown wood, tiled houses with steep curves, wooden walls and outdoor vegetation from time to time to see green and rash hooks up and rely on wooden beams on both sides to attract people's hearts, small dolls and wooden statues are hung on the wooden doors of houses every now and then, and the cliffs above the old city are relatively dim, and in the afternoon, most places rarely shine on the sun, but the high lantern lights erected on the uneven paths are slightly shining orange light, and as the wind blows, they flash and sway, gentle to the point of drowsiness, and make people feel drunk。
Looking at their red faces and surprised and addicted eyes, Regram was very satisfied.
"This is the old city "Lion Ridge Residence", which is the original territory of the previous generations of Duke Lionheart, until the last one and two generations of dukes were gifted by His Majesty and gradually expanded to have Haihui City, which is the soul of Duke Lionheart, and it is also the true belief of Haihui City, which is a deep meaning that many locals do not know. Regram said triumphantly, but he didn't notice any change in his tone at all.
After going a little deeper, and arriving at their destination in a short time, Regram turned and said to the couple with open hands.
"When you arrive, welcome to the Bamboo Bed. As Regram's voice fell, he slowly stepped back.
A three-story building, about five meters wide, appeared before them, the floor of the second floor was longer than the eaves of the first floor, and a few small lanterns hung from the edge of the eaves gave off a faint light, and below were two-way wooden sliding doors with curtains that read "Welcome" A few words, on one side is a window with a red fence, a small circle of yellow-brown calf-high wooden hedges from the right wall to the doorway, and then from the other side around to a dense one-man tall tree, under which are piled up many small potted plants, placed on the wooden staircase of the third step, placed in order from large to small, and next to it there are small buckets, scoops and other miscellaneous items.
"That's it...... Is this it?!"
Listening to their trembling voices, Regram asked suspiciously.
"Not satisfied. ”
"No, no, no, no!
"Well, that's good, although it's relatively small here, but there are a lot of roads and paths, it's more complicated, it's easy to get lost, be careful when you go out, there is a family of Duke Lionheart living here, so no one dares to make trouble here, it's quiet, it's basically elderly people who live here, if it's clean, I don't think you can feel it without saying much, okay, I'll lead the way here, you have a good rest, and then go to play in pain." Raygram passed them by, ready to return.
"Ah, please, please wait!" called the Drums, and Regram turned his head.
"Well, that, we want to walk around tomorrow, but I'm afraid we won't be able to find a place if we get lost, so do you have any recommended places. De Menger asked embarrassedly.
"Hmm!" Regram thought in thought, but in the eyes of the Dememonts, they were angry.
"Right...... I'm sorry, I don't care, just ask, it's okay! I bothered you to lead the way just now, thank you, I'm sorry......" Mr. and Mrs. De Mong saw that Regram didn't say a word and walked step by step and quickly apologized.
Seeing Regram raise his fist, the Dememen closed their eyes in fright.
"What, take it. ”
"Huh?"
"This is the Duke's badge that rewards me, if you get lost or have any trouble, you can ask the soldiers for help, in general, they are only responsible for patrolling, so just in case, you take it. ”
"Huh?" the couple subconsciously continued.
"There are a lot of delicious food in Haihui Square in the new city, and there are a lot of fun measures and games, but there are many people, and there are many petty thieves mixed in it, so you can consider going to the church in the center of the city to visit and worship, and recently they are still doing some interesting activities such as free divination, or the seaside behind the old city, where the strange rock beach is a hidden attraction, these places are less crowded, and they are safer, so you don't have to queue up and crowd them......"
With that, Regram thought for a moment to make sure that nothing was missing, then turned around and waved his hand again.
"Well, goodbye, remember to give me back the badge. ”
"Please, please wait a minute. Only then did Mr. and Mrs. Demonter come back to their senses.
"Well, that, I'm sorry to bother again, but we really want to thank you, let's buy some of your cigarettes and alcohol and talk about it. ”
"Yes, yes, Demeng, you have to buy more. ”
"Huh!" Regram looked back, a little angry for the first time.
"You look like you smoke and drink! I can see it at a glance! You nobles don't make a difficult deal with me! No one will be happy in this way!" Regram pointed at himself, raised his eyebrows, glared, and opened his mouth, "You look like a black merchant profiteer!"
"Ah...... I'm really sorry. Mr. and Mrs. Demont apologized heartily.
"Goodbye. This time, Ragram trotted out of the Old Town without looking back, and returned to his cigarette hotel.
It's really a strange couple, obviously nobles, but they run out to play without a single servant, but this is the so-called youth.
Regram sighed at the beauty of his youth, and lay down in his chair again, groggy again.
Such...... It felt good, and sure enough, I made a decision that was not wrong.
......
Once again, Haihui City, a world-famous tourist city, not only that, but also has many hidden beauty, leisurely streets, unique handicrafts, and a variety of specialty shops.
Again, it has nothing to do with me.
However, if necessary, I will introduce you to them one by one, after all, I grew up here, and ...... My shop is the closest to these attractions and world-class beauty.
"It's great to have the shop open where you have to go......" Raygram took a sip of the frothy wine, closed his eyes again, and felt the softness and warm breeze of the warm evening sun, and the corners of his mouth fell into a deep sleep with foam and a hint of curvature.
