The old woman lowered her eyelids and glanced at Soth from behind the dark bar, then her gaze drifted to the stiff-faced Sasha trio behind him.

Nodding, he vaguely had an impression of Sasha and them, as if they were adventurers.

Thinking that maybe this would add another companion, since it was not a stranger, it would be no problem, and the old woman wordlessly beckoned to Soth, motioning for him to come over.

Soth took two steps forward: "Ahhh Sasha followed them into the gloomy foyer.

"Sign here...... Three silver coins for a week. The hoarse voice seemed to come from a broken blower, and Soth's ears tingled when he heard it.

He turned his head and looked at Sasha with a grin, as if to say, "Look—we're going to collect the money, we said ...... before."

Sasha quickly understood what Soth meant, and hurriedly stepped forward, took out a small purple purse from his bosom, and then carefully took out a silver coin from the purse, and a large handful of copper coins, and the small purse was half deflated at once.

It seems that even such a shabby hotel for a week is not cheap for the average adventurer.

"Well, I'll pay it back when I have the money anyway. With that in mind, Soth comfortably accepted a large handful of copper coins and a shiny silver coin from Sasha.

The old woman seemed to have adapted to the poor way of paying the adventurers, and did not cast any disdainful glances, but just watched as Soth scattered the coins "jingle bells".

Then she took them in the palm of her hand, counted them carefully, and after a while, she handed a bunch of keys from behind the bar, and then lowered her head, and did not look at Soth, as if she had returned to a sleepy state, leaving only a hoarse word.

"Go upstairs and turn left, the second room ......"

"What, so cold. Soth puffed out his cheeks a little dissatisfied, and looked at the dozing old woman angrily, but Sasha came up to laugh and pull him away, and instead of heading to the left to the hall, the group went straight up the stairs to the room that Soth had booked.

"Please don't be annoyed with Lord Soth—the old woman of this shop is like this, but she's not a bad person. Avril timidly explained to Soth behind her.

Along the way, seeing that Soth was not as cold and difficult to talk as he imagined, Avril dared to try to talk to him.

"Yes, Avril is right, Lord South, the old woman has always looked eerie, but nothing special has happened to us in our stay here for so long, and she may be a good person. ”

Sasha followed Avril's words and explained to Soth that the reason why he regretted that he was not thoughtful and wanted to let Soth stay at the best hotel in town was because he was afraid that something would happen.

After all, the contact has only been for a short time, and even if Soth seems easy-going and easy to talk at the moment, who can know what he really thinks in his heart.

"Okay, okay, I know. Fortunately, Soth didn't seem to have much resentment, but he still had an unhappy expression on his face, and he stepped on the wooden stairs with a creaking sound, and walked upstairs step by step.

"Hmm...... I looked, and went to the second room on the left...... "The second floor is slightly better than the first floor, and the sunlight is shining in from the wooden windows, perhaps because there is no longer the walls on both sides of the alley, so that the sunlight can come in."

But there are still some taller houses that block out some of the sun's rays, causing the whole corridor to flicker and dark, bright in some places, and pitch black in others, like the black and white keys on a piano.

Of course, they probably won't understand what they are talking to Sasha about the piano now, after all, it is still unknown whether there is such a thing in this world, Soth muttered to himself as he walked to the door of the second room.

He pulled out the key, gently inserted it into the keyhole of the door's eye, deflected to the right—twisted open—and with a snap, the door opened.

A puff of smoke and dust came to his face, filled with the smell of corruption and dampness, and Soth stretched out his hand and fanned back and forth, dispersing the dust away, and then glanced into the room, and his face turned green all at once.

The room was damp and damp, and it could be seen that it was a simple single room layout, and a bed in the corner of the wall was broken by wooden slats, covered with cobwebs, and the dust had stained the sheets that should have been white gray, and this bed had not slept for an unknown number of years.

On the other side was a window, not a single ray of light from the outside of the window, probably in the shade or some tall building to cover it, and in front of the window was a small and delicate cabinet.

Although the dust is so thick that people can't even see the pattern and wood, at least the four curved feet show the ingenuity of the designer, and it must be an item that has been the result of painstaking efforts.

A little outside, in the center of the room, was a log table, also covered with a thick layer of dust, about the size of a spacious seat for four or five people, except for small furnishings, such as cobweb-bound hangers.

"That's where you usually live?" Soth turned his head and looked at Sasha and the three with an expression like this, which made the three of them nervous and embarrassed.

Rooney's clenched palms were dripping like a river, and Avril was anxious to say something, but finally looked at Sasha, who they had never expected.

Sasha's face was full of embarrassment, he scratched his head, and then hurriedly stretched out his hands and said apologetically;

"Ahh......h

"Well, don't be so troublesome. Soth sighed, which made Sasha's heart beat for a while, Sasha's mood at this time could not be described as regretful, he hated - hated himself for making decisions without brains in the first place.

This may have something to do with the fact that he has never received any big shots, so it makes sense to introduce things he doesn't mind to others.

Now it seems that Sasha realized his stupidity, which can really be said to have buried himself with his own hands.

And when he heard Soth say, "Don't be so troublesome", Sasha felt as if the whole sky had suddenly turned gray, not only because he had failed the expectations of the people he admired, but also because he had offended such a powerful warrior, a vice president of Riley and President Wellington, who had tried his best to win over and become a director of the Adventurers' Guild on the first day he joined.

It is a self-evident fact that this will have a bad impact on his future, and on the future of Rooney and Avril. [.]
