13. Inventory
With the crowd in tow, Carter went to a familiar hotel.
It was a small hotel on the corner of the alley, a three-story wooden building that was some years old, and the interior was very old, but every corner was cleaned.
This is the hotel that Carter will choose every time he comes to Kabia, although the place is not large, but the price is very cheap, and in addition to the accommodation fee plus two silver coins, hot water and breakfast are provided.
The owner of the shop was an elderly mercenary, and because he was too old to continue his favorite adventures, he opened this small hotel with his old wife.
Seeing Carter and them, the boss greeted him happily, and then saw the spring in his arms, and was a little puzzled: "Who is this child?" ”
"It's my child, Koizumi, and this is Old John." Carter put down the spring.
Izumi, who had finally returned to the earth again, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hello Grandpa John."
"Eh, what a pretty kid." Old John, who knew that Carter had always been single, didn't ask much, smiled and grabbed a handful of red fruits from the counter and gave them to Izumi, "Try this, it's delicious." ”
Izumi looked at Carter, who just smiled, so he took it, "Thank you, Grandpa John." ”
The folds on Old John's smiling face were wrinkled together, "Or are there three rooms like before?" ”
Carter put the money on the counter, "No, four, and hot water and breakfast." ”
Old John looked at Shanaiduo, who was dressed in a black robe, nodded clearly, turned around and took a large bunch of keys from the wall, and walked out of the counter: "You came just in time, there are just four rooms left, and you may not be able to live in it later." ”
At this time, it is the end of spring and the beginning of summer, although it is not as good as the harvest of autumn, but there are many adventurers who come to Kabia at this time, so accommodation is also very tight.
When old John came out, Izumi noticed that one of his feet was missing from the knee down, and that he had a prosthetic leg of wood, and that he always made a clattering sound when he walked.
The group followed Old John up to the third floor, and the vacated rooms were all close to the street, because the sound insulation here is not very good, and it will be very noisy every day before dawn, so the guests who often come to stay will choose the rooms in the middle, and these street sides will always be left to the end.
"These are the few rooms, exactly in a row."
Old John opened the door in turn, and the layout of the rooms was the same, small but clean, except for two single beds side by side, except for a small table by the window, on which a candlestick was placed.
Other than that, there is no other furniture.
- Oh, there's a wooden barrel in the corner, so I guess it's handy.
"One with Arthur, one with Brother Benny, one with Izumi and Shanaido, and finally one with Nance, is that okay?"
Naturally, everyone is fine, especially Nance, it is too late for him to be happy to be able to occupy a room alone.
Carter pointed to the one in the middle left of the four rooms, "Then Izumi, you can stay in this one." ”
"Okay." Izumi nodded, and then led Shanato into the house.
Old John was a little surprised, he had thought that the extra room would be for the lady in the cloak to live alone, but he did not expect it to be two people.
However, he didn't come out, but said to Izumi and Shanaiduo, who came for the first time: "Someone will bring hot water later, and if you are not used to the gong bucket in the room, you can go to the toilet on the first floor, and tomorrow morning breakfast at seven o'clock, don't miss it." ”
"Hmm."
"I'm on your left with Atholl, and you can come to me at night for anything."
"Okay, I remember, Uncle Carter and good night to everyone."
"Good night and a good rest." Carter touched his head, then helped him close the door and go to rest with everyone.
After staying in the forest for more than half a month, I was a little excited to live in the house again.
Izumi walked to the window, which was halfway open, and the wind blew in, swaying the candles burning in the candlesticks.
He looked out the window, and there was a light in the room across the street, and from this side, he could clearly see the scene in the opposite room, and in the same way, he could see them on the other side.
Izumi reached out and closed the heavy curtains, leaving only a gap for air to circulate, completely obscuring the scene in the room.
"That's it." Izumi turned back to Shanado and said, "Wait a little longer, wait for the clerk to bring the hot water, and you won't have to wear a cloak." ”
Shanaiduo nodded: "Shala." "It's actually fun to wear a cape.
Although it is only a magic apprentice's cloak, it is produced by the Magic Guild after all, and a simple magic array is engraved on it, making the heavy cloak look light and fluttery, and the temperature is suitable.
"If you like it, let's buy a few for backup next time we have a chance."
One person and one pet sat on the edge of the bed and chatted, and after waiting for a while, they heard a knock on the door.
After opening the door, it was the clerk who delivered the water, and they were two people carrying a bath bucket, which was smaller than the average one, and it should be for children, and it was filled with a lot of water, and it was emitting heat.
"Carter specially asked our boss to borrow a bath tub, and you can call us in and move it after you finish washing." Apparently they knew Carter too.
When I saw the bath bucket spring, I remembered that he hadn't taken a hot bath for a long time, and although he had washed it in the forest, he always felt that it was not clean, and now when he saw this, it seemed that his body was itchy.
Sending off the clerk, Izumi couldn't wait to strip naked and jump into the water, the water just submerged over his shoulder, Izumi let out a sigh comfortably, and then he beckoned to Shanaiduo: "Shanaiduo, do you want to wash together?" ”
Shanaiduo shook his head, although it was in human form, it was still an elf, and it didn't like water very much, "Shalashala." "Shall I help Koizumi rub his back?
"Then you're welcome." Izumi rolled over and lay on the edge of the tub so that Shanado could rub his back.
Izumi was taken care of by Sanado when he wanted to, and it was also in charge of bathing Izumi at that time, so Izumi was not shy at all, anyway, he had long been used to it.
He took a comfortable hot shower, and waited for the clerk to carry the tub away, Izumi sat on the bed with a towel and clean clothes, and his backpack was placed in front of him.
Shanaiduo took off his cloak and hung it up, and turned his head to see this scene: "Shala? ”
Izumi replied while opening the zipper of his backpack and taking out his things, "There were some things in the backpack that weren't mine, so I didn't look at them, but now that I may not be able to go back, I'm sorry, but let's see what they have, maybe it will come in handy." ”
Izumi can't help it, his elf food is really running out, if he doesn't think of a way, I'm afraid everyone will go hungry.
Originally, Izumi wanted to say if he wanted to check it out in the forest, but at the beginning, everyone was not very familiar with it, and they were so surprised just to see his energy cube box and backpack and kept telling him not to expose it, and how many Izumi also knew to pay attention.
Although he got familiar with it later, he didn't reveal much about it anymore, and Izumi got used to it, so he didn't have a chance to re-examine the contents of his backpack until now.
Shanaiduo: "Shala. "I'm here to help, too.
"I'll see, this is what the Doctor wanted, and it looks like ...... in there," Izumi thought back, "Baby balls, tree fruit mixers, and orange fruit tree seeds." ”
If the "Shala" fruit mixer is useless, it is useless if there is no tree fruit, and the others are useless for the time being.
"There doesn't seem to be electricity here, so I'm afraid you'll have to make a generator to use this, and put these aside."
"Well, that's all we can count on now." Izumi took out the package that Mrs. Lena had entrusted him to Mr. Lee from the seed shop, and opened it.
In addition to raising a large number of beloved headshot buffaloes, Mr. Lee runs a farm that grows tree fruits, and the variety is very complete, and it is the largest supplier of tree fruits in Raven City.
And it is obvious what Mr. Lee En, who is planting tree fruits, will order in the seed store.
"Sure enough!" Izumi was pleasantly surprised to put packets of tree fruit seeds on the bed, and finally determined that there were ten packets in total, and each bag was labeled on it.
"Spicy cherry, sweet peach, astringent chestnut, sour pear, bitterberry, apple, blue orange, sweet persimmon, grapefruit, green mu, all of them are the most common tree fruit seeds." Izumi was very happy, so that as long as he found a place to plant them, everyone would have rations.
In addition, Mr. Lee's package also contained 10 small fruit planting pots and fertilizer, and the most surprising thing was that there were fruit trees that had already begun to bear fruit in the planting pots.
The trees planted in portable planters are small, improved plants that are no more than half a metre tall and produce no more than three to five ripe fruits at a time.
However, although the fruit does not bear much, it grows very quickly, and it can grow new fruit in about three days, and as long as there are enough nutrients, it will continue to bear fruit regardless of the season.
However, the price of these planters is very expensive, and it is difficult for ordinary people to afford them, and it is not known what Mr. Li En intends to buy and plant.
Now it's cheaper for him.
Izumi took out the planting pots one by one, picked the ripe fruits inside, added some fertilizer to each of them, and then put them away, and finally had more than 40 fruits of different flavors in his hand.
"It's not too much, but it can last for a while for the time being." Izumi took out a blue orange from a pile of tree fruits, "Come, Shanado." ”
Shanaiduo took a bite directly, and the astringent taste made it squint its eyes happily.
"Is it delicious?"
"Shala!"
"If it's delicious, eat another one, and put the rest of it first, and then distribute it to everyone next time." Izumi gave it another one, and then put the rest into a fruit bag and put it away.
Shanaiduo suddenly felt that the blue orange in his hand was not so delicious.
"Shalashala?" When can we eat together again?
Izumi paused for a moment, "Soon, when we settle down." ”
