Chapter 9: Dilapidated Houses and Foursomes
"In ancient times, there was a powerful necromancer named Ilandal, who summoned an army of undead to invade our Irish Empire, but was eventually wiped out by the seven prophets."
"So before he died, he put a powerful curse on his life, that is, every few years, an undead natural disaster will befall here, right?"
"Could it be that the Brave Man still knows something about this?"
"No, it's just a very clichΓ©." Lu Mingfeng was powerless to complain.
"How long does it take for the undead to come?"
"The Prophets were also seriously injured after fighting the Great Demon King, and finally the seven Prophets used all their strength to foresee the future and leave behind the legacy to build the Tower of Clocks before they died."
"Tower of Clocks?" The crowd repeated it in confusion.
"What's that Tower of Clocks? Can you elaborate on that? β
"The clock that stands quietly on Ireland's National Square is the Tower of Clocks."
"When the hour and minute hands of the Tower of Time point to 12 at the same time, the Undead Scourge will strike."
"Is the location of the Scourge fixed?"
"No, the location of the undead scourge is uncertain, otherwise we wouldn't be unprepared."
"So how can we get to the battlefield quickly? If we had arrived a little later, wouldn't it have killed a lot of people? β
"At this point, the brave rest assured, when the undead disaster appears, the brave will automatically arrive at the battlefield."
"How fast is automatic?"
"Instantly."
"Instantly?"
On the street at dusk, Li Haoxuan walked alone, although there were many people around, Li Haoxuan was obviously out of place.
"So how do you make money now?"
"Now that I've used a small silver coin, I can't make much money if I have to sweep the floor and wash the dishes."
"Quack-" A bird's cry came from the sky, and Li Haoxuan looked up at the sky.
"I didn't even notice that it was already afternoon, so it looks like I'm going to find a hotel to stay in first!"
In a hotelβ
"That...... Is there any room available? β
"Oh! Are you a guest of the house? β
"That's right! I want to rent a room. β
"I'm sorry, but our store is full, you can go to another one."
"Oh!"
The second hotel β
"That...... Are there any rooms available? β
"Nope."
The third inn β
"The ......"
In this way, Li Haoxuan went to look for five or six hotels, but the answer he got was that the rooms were full.
"Hee-hee-hee, that little brother over there!" A burly man covered in muscles bared his teeth at Li Haoxuan.
"Are you calling me?" Li Haoxuan pointed to himself.
"Yes! You seem to be bothered, are you in trouble? The strong man asked with concern.
"It's nothing, I just can't find a hotel to live in." Li Haoxuan scratched his head with an embarrassed expression.
"Can't find a place to stay? I've got a good place to go, I don't know if you'd like to live. β
"How much is that for a night? I can't afford too much. β
"Say what? Isn't it true that you go out with friends? It's not a great place, what kind of money do you charge? β
"Don't you take money? Thank you so much. Li Haoxuan bowed to the strong man.
"Then my name is Li Haoxuan, what is your name?"
"Marne, just call me Marne."
"Then thank you, Brother Marne."
"Great, I'm worried that my four silver coins are not enough, if I can find a place to stay tonight, there may be a vacant room tomorrow! By the way, you can also find a lucrative job. Li Haoxuan was thinking in his heart about how long the four silver coins could live.
"I saw 1 copper coin for 10 pieces of bread, 5 copper coins for fruits, about 500 copper coins for clothes, and all kinds of daily necessities, which add up to the price of a small silver coin, and after using this one, there are only three left, and it seems that it can only be used for a month at most."
"Oops!"
Ma En, who was leading the way in front, suddenly stopped, causing Li Haoxuan, who was thinking about things, to crash into Ma En.
"Sorry! Didn't hurt you, did you? β
"I'm sorry for me, I didn't look at the road to crash into you, I'm so sorry."
"Well, this is it."
In front of you is a large wooden house that is a little cluttered but barely visible.
"What is this house?"
"This house is where a few of our friends live together, and everyone is a few big and three rough people who don't know how to clean, so it looks so messy, but don't look so messy, in fact, it's pretty good inside." Marne hurriedly explained.
"It's okay! I'm glad that Big Brother Marne can let me live there. β
"Let's go, it's going to get dark when we go in, and maybe we can give you dinner or something."
"Hahaha, that's embarrassing." Li Haoxuan felt that the people in this other world were too enthusiastic, and sure enough, there were still many good people in the world.
"Everyone, I'm back!"
"It's really messy!" Li Haoxuan casually swept around a rectangular table, a few faded chairs, and a large candle, which was basically everything in the living room.
"Is Big Brother back?" A muscular hunk with green hair and a muscular hunk with yellow hair spoke together.
"Well, today I brought back a new friend."
"That...... My name is Li Haoxuan, and I will stay here for one night tonight, please give me a lot of advice. β
Yellow Hair and Green Hair glanced at each other and said enthusiastically, "Welcome! Welcome! We're just too few people here! There's nothing to play at all, and after you come, we'll definitely be more lively, just call me Green Hair. β
"Just call me Yellow Fur." Huang Mao continued to do push-ups as he spoke.
"How's that going to work?" No matter how you look at this name, it's scolding!
"It's okay, that's our name." The green hair seemed to see what Li Haoxuan was thinking, and opened his mouth to explain.
"That's it!" Li Haoxuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"These people have strange names."
"That...... What about the fourth sister? Marne looked around and saw no one.
"I don't know where I'm going crazy, I'll probably come back in the evening!" Huang Mao exercised and took a towel to wipe his sweat.
"What is this like? Run blindly all day long. Marne was visibly annoyed.
"The eldest brother is angry, and it is normal for the fourth sister to love to play at this age."
"Forget it, don't care about her, Li Haoxuan, you come with me and I'll take you to see the room you live in."
"Oh." Li Haoxuan agreed and followed directly.
The two of them walked up the creaking wooden staircase that made it feel like it was going to break at any moment, and walked to the second floor of the house.
