Chapter 349: The Inn
"Found the inn."
Karn was identified by the sign at the door, and if there was no signboard, it was a house, and if there was a signboard, it was a shop. But it didn't work very well, because some of the signs were not written at all, or they were written in Ionian script that they didn't recognize, and they had to look at the shape on the sign and look at the interior decoration to understand it.
"I don't know if communication will be a problem." With that in mind, Karn walked into the atrium of the inn.
The shop is neat, but it sinks to sin.
The inn is inhabited by snitches, ronins, outlaws with a single heart, and merchants in exotic costumes, all in all, it doesn't look very harmonious.
Although Karn and Kai'Sa were dressed as locals, their striking purple hair still attracted a lot of attention. They sat down at a table in the corner, and the boy came to wipe the table with a towel, and he told him that he wanted to stay in the hotel.
"Staying in a hotel? Yes, where are you calling, I'll tell the boss. ”
Hearing that there was no pressure, Karn relaxed a little, thinking that the people here might not welcome the Noxians, and said, "We came from Bilgewater, and we heard that Ionia is beautiful, and we have come to visit the mountains and rivers...... Do a little business by the way. ”
"Okay, do you want to serve food?"
"Two morning teas...... Karn thought for a moment of Kasha's meal, "Forget it, one for each morning tea." ”
Miscellaneous nodded away, but Kai'Sa stopped him.
"That...... We only have Bilgewater coins, do you take them? ”
"Collect what you receive, and Noxus coins too. Although those Noxians are very bad, money is a good thing, and who will have trouble with money. ”
"That's good." Kai'Sa smiled at him, and the miscellaneous froze, and when he came back to his senses, Kai'Sa had turned to talk to Karn.
He shook his head in some confusion, and then left the table to work.
"I feel the fluctuations in the Void energy." Karn whispered to Kaisha.
"Huh?"
"Your eyes, don't just look into other people's eyes." Karn thought for a moment, "Just face me." ”
Kai'Sa glared at him and deliberately asked, "Is that so?" ”
"Naughty."
After a while, the handyman came again, and he followed behind a Vastaya man who was holding the ledger.
"This is our shopkeeper Bori, just tell him what you want about housing."
After the man finished speaking, Vastaya smiled.
Kai'Sa is very strange, the strange thing is not that the Vastaya is the shopkeeper, but why does the shopkeeper need a guy to introduce him, can't this Vastaya person speak?
She knew the reason right away.
Borij sat down, pushed the notebook to Karn, and opened it to see which room was unoccupied.
"Our shopkeeper was cut out by the Noxians a few years ago, and he couldn't speak, so he could only communicate like this."
"I feel sorry for you." Karn asked for a second-floor double room, and then pushed the ledger along with the Golden Siren to Bori.
The prices of the top hotels are clearly marked on the account book. Compared to Bilgewater's side, the same money has a higher purchasing power.
It was much cheaper to stay in Ionia, so he didn't think much about it and booked a little longer, the price was more affordable for a longer stay, and they brought a lot of money with them.
Registered, Boriyi took a piece of the number from his waist and handed it to Karn. Karn glanced at the tossed Kai'Sa to play with, then asked in a whisper.
"When we were walking down the street in the morning, we saw some Noxian soldiers interrogating passers-by, did anything happen recently?"
"That's what you say." The guy thought for a moment and replied, "I heard that a Noxian outpost was attacked nearby, and those Noxians came out to find the murderer." ”
"Did the Brotherhood do it?" Karn asked again.
"Probably not, the outpost just stole a little bit of supplies, and one or two sentries died. It would have been much worse if the Brotherhood had intervened, and it would have been impossible for them to be so clean with their hands and feet, that the Noxians would have no clue if they wanted to track it down. ”
Apparently it was the hand of some prodigal son or a lone ranger, and then the Brotherhood inexplicably took the blame.
"Be careful when you go out on the streets lately, Noxians are Rotten and the Brotherhood is not a good thing, they are too extreme. As an Ionian, if you don't help them, you're going to be bullied, what's the difference between that and those Noxians? ”
"Stained ...... Li? Kai'Sa jerkily repeated the awkward word.
"It's a swear word, meaning a plague of locusts, or a plague of insects, something disgusting anyway."
"That's what scum means." Kahn said.
"yes, that's right."
"Pickled lily." Kai'Sa read it again, this time much more fluently. Karn reached out to pinch her cheek, "The good ones don't learn, but the bad ones learn pretty quickly." ”
No matter what language you learn, swear words are the easiest to learn.
Kai'Sa pressed Karn's hand down, biting it if no one was watching.
"I used to hear that Ionia was a quiet and peaceful place, but now, as a foreigner, I feel nervous walking the streets."
Billgewater's lawlessness didn't make Karn nervous, for he knew it was just a bunch of mortal petty fights that couldn't hurt them. In Ionia, there is a war between two countries, and it will be troublesome if you accidentally get involved.
"You need a guide, Ionia has many things that cannot be touched, and the slightest carelessness can affect the balance of the two realms." Said the miscellaneous guy.
"Balance......" Karn seemed to think of something.
"It's the balanced sect you think, but it was replaced by Shadow Stream four years ago, Shadow Stream and Brotherhood are closer, they are more professional killers, and they generally don't embarrass us ordinary people, but there are exceptions, and some of the disciples in it are also extremely educated, and they don't know anything except killing. If you're looking for a guide, it's best to find someone in the green. ”
"Thank you for your advice."
The war had divided the Ionians into two opposing positions, the Order, the Warrior Monks, and the newly established Green Fields, who wanted to return to the traditions of peace and idyllic seclusion.
Other more radical factions, such as the Navoli Brotherhood and Shadowstream, advocate militarizing the magic of the land and creating a unified state strong enough to retaliate against Noxus.
Karn naturally didn't choose which faction to join, and he was sure to be a paragon of chaotic neutrality.
When the men brought them morning tea, Boriyi also left the bench and did not disturb them from eating.
Looking at a table of colourful, floral-scented pastries and flower teas, Kai'Sa had an appetite and didn't take the tension in Ionia to heart.
Kai'Sa picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and took a bite to taste, then shoved the remaining half into Karn's mouth. There were so many varieties that she had to do so to get the fastest taste of them all.
"It's delicious, Karn, you can taste it. Well...... This one is delicious, too! ”
"Eat slowly, don't choke, the first bite is yours, no one will rob you." Karn didn't mind Kaisha's saliva, but eating it too quickly made the flavors all mingle, and it tasted like a ghost.
After saying that, Kai'Sa choked on the dry pastry and hurriedly searched for water.
"Look, I'll let you eat slowly, and you won't listen yet." Karn's cooled tea was pushed in front of her, and he patted her on the back to help her swallow her food.
"Alright, after eating, let's go to the market and see if there's anything interesting."
