Chapter 43: Sleepless
The hotels in Fenglu Town are all located on the same street, and this street is naturally the street where the convoys come and go most frequently in the past, and the tired convoys can easily stay and replenish at the inn. Since there are many caravans and carriages coming and going to the Seven Gods Arch here, it is impossible for the business here to be bad.
In addition to the hotels, the restaurants, pubs, casinos and other establishments on this street are also well connected, and at night the place is brightly lit and the bustle lasts until the second half of the night. With the exception of a few well-disciplined convoys, most of the convoy guards and merchants who have been on the road with the convoy for many years are willing to spend their savings here, which is more likely to relieve their fatigue than sleeping in an inn.
But today, this street is not lively, although you can still see a few people coming and going, but this place is definitely not lively. The faint evening breeze swept through and shook the glowing lamps hanging in front of the inn, as if it were blowing them out, but in reality, the conspicuous glowing lamps in front of the inn were extinguished for one more reason, that is, there were no empty rooms and the guests were full.
The streets are deserted and the hotels are full, which is the exact opposite of common sense. As for why this street is like this, the reason for it, along the way, Yu Yi and several people have also heard from the militia named Kante next to him, that is, the strange thing that has recently broken out of strange beasts hurting people.
However, the tired master and servant didn't take this matter too seriously. After all, they are already in the town, and there are usually no more major problems, and they now prefer to find an inn where they can stay.
"Because of what you said, the business of this inn has been really good lately." After walking through several hotels, Yu Yi said casually.
"I'm sorry, Master Mage, but lately more and more caravans have been so frightened by that strange thing that they don't dare to go out at night and complain all of them in town. Therefore, the inn is relatively full, and this kind of thing has hardly happened before......" The militia straightened up in surprise when he saw the silver-haired mage also look at him. In the face of the magicians at the top of the Magic Association, he is such a small militia naturally dare not have half a point of neglect, if it wasn't late at night, the mayor of the town should have been invited out to entertain this amazing mage at this time.
Although Fenglu Town is a wealthy town, it is not usually visited by such VIPs, so there are no exclusive guest houses. The militia could only take the mage to find the inn on the windward avenue, and he was a little worried that if he didn't find the inn until the end of the street, the mage behind him would reward him with a magic bullet.
Yu Yi didn't pay too much attention to the situation of the militia, and continued to laugh lightly: "You say, could it be that these messages or something are just a scam set up by the innkeepers to solicit business for themselves?" ”
However, when it comes to the magician and her entourage, the militia will ask themselves to maintain a respectful attitude at all times: "My lord, it is true that those clever guys have played such tricks in the past. But this time, it shouldn't be them, first of all, the risk and cost of attacking the convoy is too great, and secondly, after several successful attacks, the property in those convoys has not been passive at all, which obviously cannot be the style of a person who is obsessed with money. ”
"I'm just joking with you, I don't need to be so serious." Yu Yi smiled, but the attitude of the militia made him want to be amused even more: "But seriously, what if it was those merchants who left behind the property to make you have such an illusion?" ”
"This ......" For a moment, the owl didn't know how to answer. Fortunately, at this time, the glowing street lamp of the station in front of him rescued him from the predicament, "My lord, the glow street lamp of that hotel is on!" He shouted in surprise.
"Thank goodness." Yu Yi also breathed a sigh of relief. To be able to find a hotel, the happiest people are still tired after a day.
Walking towards the glowing street lamp, soon a few people came to the inn called Fenglu Nuanyang. Next to the street lamp, two thin chains hung the hotel price tag.
Yu Yi pointed to the price on the wooden card, and Yu Yi said to the militia: "Look at the price above, you know that the assumption I just made is impossible." Staying for one night, the inn can only earn a few silver coins, and with that ability, it is better to go directly to rob the caravan. ”
"Your Excellency is right." The militia smiled crampedly. He saw that the silver-haired mage over there had already taken the lead towards the inn, and immediately chased after her and pushed open the door for her. After that, the two also walked into the hotel, and he walked quickly to the front desk to negotiate.
"Ei, what is your identity? Why do you show the badge, this is to open the town gate and help you find a hotel? Waiting on the side, Yu Yi couldn't help but ask the doubts just now.
"Does that matter? My identity is just your contractor. The silver-haired woman looked back at him and replied calmly.
Such an answer made Yu Yi not interested in asking the question just now. "Deed, yes. You, Bai Siling, are my contractor. But I guess we're more of companions and friends, right? ”
Bai Siling, who had been reminiscing about the previous sentence "I will definitely send you back to the Forest of the Wind Whisperers" all the way, paused when she heard this sentence, and then immediately nodded with a smile. As for the shadow on the other side, he was silent for a long time and did not speak for a long time.
"That badge, it's just my ......," she was about to open her mouth to explain, but was interrupted by a noise from the side.
"What?! No availability? What's going on with the glow lights outside? ”
With the sound of heavy slamming of the table, the angry voice of the militia was heard from there.
"I'm sorry, it's supposed to be a newcomer to our chores, and we should be busy and forget about it." The mustachioed man in the wooden platform said only in promise, after all, the militia still has a certain status in front of such a small businessman. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"What's the use of being sorry? Damn it! Kante scolded in a low voice, "Find a way to make room for me, or ......" The harsh words that were about to be uttered were interrupted by a hand on his shoulder.
"Forget it, militia. Let's go, let's go find another place, there should be an inn. Yu Yi said, although extremely tired, but in his opinion, there is no need to use such a strong method for such a thing.
"I'm sorry, sir." The militia extinguished the anger just now, turned back and apologized: "We can only look for one more." ”
In the midst of the innkeeper's apology, a few people pushed the door open, and just as they were about to do so, the bell on the counter rang urgently. Perhaps it was the noisy ringing of the bell, and the black dog, which had not made a sound, suddenly turned around and barked. Immediately after, I heard someone on the other side say, "Check out." ”
Those two words made several people's footsteps stop. Looking at the counter, a young man and a woman were talking to the innkeeper. The young man was digging out his money bag, while the girl next to him was lying on the wooden table, her feet crossed and playing with the bell with interest.
It's so late, how can anyone check out? Do you want to go back to your own house after you have fun? Yu Yi thought about it, but he was sure that he had just heard the word check out clearly. He kicked the barking black dog to make it stop its voice, and after making eye contact with Bosling and Shadow, he walked to the wooden table with Pearl on his back and waited.
It wasn't until the young man and woman left that he asked the boss, "Is there a room here?" Clean it up. ”
The mustachioed man first nodded subconsciously in agreement, but soon raised his head and looked at it: "Those two people just now, they only have one room......
"I know." Yu Yi also guessed that this would be the case, so he just used his eyes to ask Ying and Bai Siling's opinion.
"I'll let the servant clean up the room." Seeing this, the mustachioed man didn't say anything more.
"Okay, now you said it before, and you can only squeeze it in one room." After taking care of the affairs of the room, Yu Yi walked back to a few people and said to the shadow.
However, apart from the two women's evasive gazes, they were not dissatisfied. The only people who have an opinion are the militia on the side.
"It's rude to let the mage live in a room that someone else has retreated from!" He said indignantly, and was quite surprised that the high-ranking mage would be treated like this, and only after saying half of it did he remember something more noteworthy: "A room? ”
"yes, you saw that, too. We were lucky enough to get this room. It's not like we're walking around the streets in the middle of the night, one room at a time. Yu Yi replied.
At this time, the militia looked at the black-haired young man in front of him, and his eyes were a little different. Before, he had thought that this was just a retinue of a mage or something, but now it seemed ...... This guy's relationship with the mage seems to be more intimate than expected......
The militia didn't say anything more, and said with a sense of humor: "Since that's the case, then I'll leave first, and if the Master Master has any other orders, you can come to the center of the town." We, Fenglu Town, will definitely do our best to serve the adults. ”
"Let's go." In this regard, Ying Ze only used two words to dismiss.
"Let's go upstairs too." Bidding farewell to the militia, Yu Yi walked towards the stairs of the inn. There was already a male waiter at the top of the staircase, and needless to say, it was naturally the innkeeper's arrangement.
Ordinary guests of such a small inn were not treated like this, and apparently the shrewd proprietor had already seen from the performance of the militia squad leader that several people were unusual. "Adults, please go upstairs, the waiter will show you the way."
Yu Yi nodded, followed the male waiter upstairs, and soon found their room on the third floor. When they arrived, the person in charge of cleaning the room happened to come out.
Knowing that this room was packed up in a hurry, Yu Yi and the others no longer had the strength to pay attention to these things. With such a house, they are already satisfied.
"May your lordship dream well tonight."
After a polite goodbye, the waiter turned to leave. Although after taking a few steps, he would quietly turn his head and glance at a few guests over there, not for anything else, but he really admired the man who could enjoy two beauties at the same time.
However, in fact, this man did not have as good enjoyment as he imagined.
Yu Yi and a few people walked into the room, although there was only such a room, but fortunately, it was spacious enough. And, perhaps because of the servant's cleaning, this room was so neat that it was not at all obvious that it was the one that had just been withdrawn.
He walked over to the bed and slowly lowered Pearl from his back. The little girl was very light, and even after carrying it all night, he didn't feel any discomfort.
Instead, it was the girl on the bed who turned over comfortably after lying down. Seeing that the master had settled down, the black dog also curled up comfortably on the side of the bed and rested.
"Alright, it's rare that the three of us will be sharing a bed tonight. Fortunately, this bed is big enough, squeeze it, and it should be no problem to sleep the four of us. Yu Yi sat on the bed and jokingly said to the two women standing next to him.
Hearing him say this, the elf who had been a little twisted before blushed even more at this time, but he didn't mean to refute it. After she slowly put down the bow and arrow and quiver on her body, she looked a little overwhelmed, as if she didn't even know where to put her two hands.
However, Ying will not be as well-behaved as Bai Siling, she glared at the other party coldly, pointed to the black dog on the ground and said, "You sleep with it tonight." ”
"I ......" Yu Yi opened his mouth, only to find that the other party's hand had already formed ice magic. Although he was not afraid of the power of the magic now, he did not want to be covered in ice chips before he went to sleep, so he honestly compromised. "Okay, I'll sleep on the table over there in a moment." That's what he had planned to do in the first place, anyway.
"That'll do."
Just stopped, and when he saw Ying simply take off his shirt, revealing Bai Huahua's body, Yu Yi couldn't help but shout: "Hey! What are you doing? ”
"I'm going to take a shower first, what? What are your grievances? Shadow replied indifferently.
"Then you can wait until you go to the bathroom before you take off your clothes!" Yu Yi pinned his head to the side and said.
"I just took off my coat and stripped naked here without preparation, you don't need such a big reaction. Speaking of which, it's not the first time you've seen me like this. Seeing the appearance of the deed master, the corners of Shadow's mouth quietly hooked up a smile, and sure enough, he was still the coward who would only take advantage of his mouth.
"Alright, I'll go out, and you'll call me in after you've washed up."
Half an hour later, the lights in the room were finally turned off. Yu Yi sat on a hardwood chair and lay on the small round table, although he was very tired, he couldn't sleep. The stains, the smell of sweat, and the smell of blood on the body really make it difficult for a cleanliness addict to ignore them.
Eventually, he looked up to make sure that all three of them were asleep peacefully, and then he got up and quietly walked to the shower room. After the three girls fell asleep, he could finally take a bath with more peace of mind.
After bathing, put on the nightgown prepared by the inn and return to the table. Now, the drowsiness can no longer be stopped. Soon, however, he was awakened by the sight of someone approaching. Raise your head, it's a shadow!
"Come on, sleep next to me." She said softly.
Yu Yi couldn't react a little, and nodded stupidly. Lying on the comfortable soft bed, but because of the girl next to him, he couldn't sleep again. After tossing and turning for a long time, I still can't find sleep.
One rolled over, and he happened to be facing the shadow, even though her eyes were closed. 'After all this time, you must have fallen asleep, right?' He thought. Looking at the sleeping face of the silver-haired woman, he suddenly felt a moment in his heart, and he felt an inexplicable emotion and impulse. He got carried away and put his face up, just as he could already feel the other's snort.
Panicked cries were heard outside the window:
"Oh no! Strange beasts have broken into town! ”
