Chapter Twenty-Three: The Town of Fore
The small town of Fore is not far from the train station!
Bai's speed was very slow, even if it was not a long distance, and it took a lot of time, and when I saw the sign of "Fall Town", it was already afternoon!
Looking at the countdown given by the system, 3 hours have passed!
He didn't expect that it would take so long just to go to the mission location!
Walking into the small town of Fore, he saw at a glance that there was a hotel not far away, the hotel was not big, just a two-story building, it looked a little dilapidated, a little depressed, it can be seen that there should not be many guests here!
Shiro, who had no place to rest, immediately decided to rent a room in that small inn!
Pushed open the door of the hotel and walked in!
Suddenly, a hot flow of leather came, but I didn't expect it to be so warm inside!
I don't know if it's because there is no business, but after Bai entered the door, I only saw a middle-aged Mediterranean uncle who looked like a boss dozing off behind the counter.
After Bai approached, he knocked lightly on the counter, and then the boss slowly raised his head, and a pair of eyes that were not very attentive looked at him, and it took a while for him to speak!
"What's the matter?" The boss's voice was hoarse, as if there was a mouthful of thick phlegm in his throat, not like a voice that he would have at this age, Yin Yin looked like he was only in his forties, but he had a voice that could only be possessed in his sixties and seventies!
"I want a room!" Bai said.
"20p a day, breakfast and a changing room!" The old man spoke.
"3 days!" As he spoke, Shiro took out a game gold coin and put it on the counter.
According to the rules of the game, the game gold coins can be circulated in all dungeons, and Bai doesn't know what the value of a gold coin is in the dungeon, so he just took out one to see the situation!
"Don't have any change?" The boss picked up the gold coin, and after shaking it in his hand, he looked at Bai and said.
"Sorry! That's the smallest denomination! Bai shrugged, he didn't know how much a gold coin was worth in this dungeon world, but it was really the smallest denomination he could come up with!
"Alright! Charge you 1 pound! Is it okay to have pennies for change? The boss asked, after putting away the gold coins, after opening the drawer at the counter.
"Okay!" Shiro didn't know how much change he would find, although the boss said that it could only be what it was.
"180p for change!" Saying that, the boss grabbed a large handful of coins from the drawer, the denominations were large and small, and after counting out 18 coins with denominations of 10, he put the others into the drawer anew, and then took out a key and put it on the counter with the change, "Your change and key, the room will find it by itself!" ”
The service attitude is very bad!
After putting away the change and key, Shiro glanced at the door number attached to the key, 203, on the 2nd floor!
I glanced at the boss again, and found that the boss began to doze off again, and when I saw this, I knocked on the counter again and woke the boss up again!
"Is there anything else you can do?" The boss seemed to be very impatient with Bai waking him up, but for Bai Bai's sake, he didn't say anything.
"I've just come to this town and I'm not familiar with it, so I wanted to ask about something!" Bai said.
"It's a very ordinary town, and nothing big has happened, what do you want to ask?" The boss had a slight smile on his face, and he seemed to be happy to answer Bai's question, but in Bai's eyes, he felt that this smile was very weird!
"Really? It's good if there is no problem! Then I'll be at ease! Before I came, I heard that quite a few people had gone missing in this town! Bai stared into the boss's eyes and smiled.
"Huh! Nothing! The boss smiled, now he was completely free of the impatient look he had just now!
"Yes! Then I'll go up first! After saying a word, he didn't care about the boss anymore and went upstairs by himself!
It's just that what Bai didn't know was that the boss kept looking at him when he went upstairs, still with a weird smile on his face, and a slight green light in his eyes!
The room was simple, a bed, a desk, a chair, a coat rack!
Gone!
Throwing his backpack on the bed, Shiro walked over to the desk and opened the window!
The cold wind blew into the room, and the slightest chill shook Bai's spirit!
Looking out the window, the town was quiet, and no one came out to walk around on the street, which made it difficult for Bai to make it difficult for a while!
If you want to inquire about the situation a little, do you still have to knock on the people one by one?
Just when he was in trouble, his eyes suddenly lit up!
Because he found a restaurant at the end of the street, and the restaurant was still open, and exactly two people came out of the restaurant!
There it is!
Return to the bedside, open the backpack and take the pistol, dagger, bandage, etc. with you!
Picked up the key, put the change in the pocket of his coat, and walked out the door!
It's lunchtime, so there's nothing out of the ordinary!
Pushing open the door of the restaurant, with the crisp doorbell, Bai stepped in.
It was warm in the dining room, didn't see the presence of a fireplace or anything like that, and didn't know how!
"Hello! What would you like to eat? Just as Bai had not taken a few steps forward, a slightly chubby waiter walked and asked with a smile.
"Well~ don't you have a menu or anything like that?" Bai glanced at a few nearby dining tables, and the tables were very clean, so clean that nothing was placed.
"Uh~ Yes! If there's anything you'd like to eat, you can tell us and we can do it directly! The waiter replied with some embarrassment.
"Is there anything you recommend for that?" Said in vain.
"I think the potato stew is good!" The waiter recommended it immediately.
"Alright! Get me one! In this regard, Bai did not refuse, and ordered it directly!
"Okay! Wait! With that, the waiter turned and walked into the kitchen.
Turns out she is also a chef?
Shiro didn't find this strange!
I found a vacant seat casually, sat down, and Bai began to look at the restaurant carefully!
The restaurant is not big, there are a total of 4 tables, the table base is empty, in addition to Bai, there is a guest, that person just buries his head in eating, and does not care about Bai as a new guest.
After staring at the guest for a while, Shiro decided to ask him first!
Thinking of this, Bai took out 10 coins from the pocket of his coat, which were the change that the innkeeper had given him, worth a total of 100 pence!
Walking up to the diner, Shiro sat down across from him, and put the coins in his hand on the table one after another, deliberately making a loud noise!
The man seemed to notice this, raised his head slightly, glanced at Bai, then put his gaze on the coins on the table, and asked, "Do you have anything?" ”
He seems to be very up-to-the-point, and he quickly understood what Bai meant!
"There's something I want to ask you! About this town! Bai said directly.
After hearing Bai's words, the man's face changed slightly, and then he said in a very flat tone: "This is a very ordinary town! What special! ”
If Bai hadn't learned the skill of [Observation], then he wouldn't have felt anything unusual, but now, he had discovered the strangeness of the man in front of him, and he seemed to be very taboo about things about this town!
[Observation] This skill is not just to find traces, it also has a more indirect ability, that is, to improve the holder's observation power!
Because without a high enough observation, you won't be able to spot those small trace changes!
It was because of this that Shiro noticed the change in that man!
I didn't immediately ask for the information I wanted, but it was enough!
At least know that this person knows something about this town!
Now it's just a matter of finding a way to pry it out of his mouth!
Although Bai thought so, he was not anxious, but thanked him: "I invited this meal at that time!" ”
After finishing speaking, Bai didn't take the 10 coins on the dining table, and walked directly to the table next to him and sat down!
And the moment he sat down, he glanced at the door of the kitchen out of the corner of his eye, and found that the door was ajar, and the waitress before was standing behind the door, like a pee, looking at this side with a strange look!
When Shiro sat down, the kitchen door closed softly!
Then, Bai heard the sound of his fingers tapping on the table again, so he looked at the bricks and found that it was the diner he had just spoken to was tapping on the tabletop, and the movement was very vague, as if he didn't want to be discovered by anyone!
Immediately afterward, Bai saw him put away the coin that Bai had just put on his table and did not take away, and then gave him a vague look, and then began to eat the few remaining things silently!
At this time, Bai smiled, he was white about the meaning of that person!
"Your lunch!" It didn't take long for the waiter to come over with a white lunch, put the tableware in front of the white one, and prepared to leave.
"Get me another beer!" At this time, the diner who had made eye contact with Shiro before ordered again!
"Okay! Come now! The waiter answered, and immediately went into the kitchen again!
Picking up the utensils, Shiro immediately began to enjoy his lunch!
Bai ate quickly, in less than 5 minutes, he ate all his food, wiped his mouth, glanced at the diners not far from him, he was still drinking wine one by one, the food in the tableware had already been eaten by him, Bai knew that this was waiting for him!
"Checkout!" Bai shouted loudly.
The next moment, the waiter came out of the kitchen, stood in front of Bai, and said, "It's 10 pence in total, thank you!" ”
"It's delicious!" Shiro took out a coin, placed it on the table, and turned to leave the restaurant.
After walking out of the restaurant, Shiro looked around a little, and after noticing that there was no one, he entered a small alley not far away.
It didn't take long for the diner to appear in front of him, only to see him observe the surroundings very carefully, and then whispered to Bai, "Follow me!" ”
Bai nodded, didn't say anything, and followed him in one direction!
