46 The raven drank, and Marlon bathed
"Then I'll trouble you, Sir Lothar...... Oh yes, what about Rubles? ”
Vera didn't insist, she followed Marlon and walked up the stairs by the moonlight, and then suddenly remembered that the giant wolf had disappeared for some time.
"I just told it to find something to eat on its own...... Leave it alone, it'll come back on its own when it's full. ”
Marlon whispered to Vera, and then closed her mouth—Maria frowned slightly at the sound, and her body writhed twice uncomfortably—Marlon didn't want to wake her
Coming to the second floor, Malone saw the two bedrooms opposite each other at a glance; He stepped over the last few steps, then turned his head to look at Vera, and asked with his eyes which bedroom bed he should put Maria on.
Vera followed Malone up to the second floor, then pointed to the bedroom to the right, and the two of them walked softly into the room together.
The facilities in the bedroom are very simple, and it is estimated that the people who originally lived here are not wealthy.
Other than a cabinet that looked old, a wooden box for bedside items, and a somewhat low wooden bed, Malone didn't see much more.
There were no tables, no chairs, and the largest piece of non-wooden furniture was a candlestick hanging on the wall, on which half of the yellowed candle was fastened, and the irregularly shaped wax oil wrapped around the entire candlestick, which had not been cleaned for an unknown amount of time.
But with a bed, a quilt and pillows, it's a hundred times better off than the refugees had been in the previous two weeks.
- Marlon thought as he carefully placed Maria on the bed, then gestured to Vera for the two of them to leave first.
Vera understood what Malone meant, and she crept out of the room after Marlon, and after one last look at her sleeping daughter, she gently closed the door.
"Sir Lothar, your bedroom is over here."
Vera pointed to the opposite side, then led Marlon into the room on the left.
To Malone's surprise, his bedroom was surprisingly tidy, and although the facilities were as simple as the one next door, it was clearly not what it had been abandoned for a while.
"Today I cleaned up a little by the way, thinking that if a neighbor came over, I would save them from cleaning up on their own. The wooden box contains candles and tinder, as for the rest...... Sir Lothar, do you see any shortcomings? ”
Vera saw Marlon's question and explained with a smile.
"No, it's not missing, it's already good...... Vera, thank you. ”
Marlon hurriedly replied.
It wasn't until now that Malone discovered that living here was actually his own luck - not to mention how pleasing it was to be neighbors with a beautiful woman like Vera, at least she could save herself a lot of trouble, such as ...... Cleaning the room or something.
Malone knows what a single man can do to mess up his room, but he doesn't have the diligence to clean up often.
"No, I should thank you, Sir Lothar. I was very happy when I knew Sir Lothar that you hadn't found a house yet...... Oh no, sorry, I didn't mean that......"
Vera bit her lower lip lightly with her teeth, a little annoyed at her own stupid tongue.
"I know...... But I'm sure whoever lives here will get along well with you Vera. ”
Malone said with a relieved smile at Vera.
"I know, but it's Sir Lothar who is the most reassuring ......."
Vera muttered quietly, then nodded to Marlon and turned to leave his room.
What is your most reassuring?
- After listening to Vera's last words before leaving, Malone was stunned for a long time before shaking his head with a wry smile.
Being said by a woman to be "reassuring" is the same as being issued a "good person card", which is not a good sign......
Looking around, Malone was quite satisfied with the bedroom - not that it was better than his place on Earth or in Stormwind City, of course, but it was good in the current environment.
What satisfies Malone the most is that although there is no glass on the windows here, there is a layer of window paper; Although this will dim the light in the room, at least you don't have to worry about mosquitoes flying in.
A buzzing mosquito can ruin a good night.
Just as Malone had just removed his armor and was about to take off his pants and go to bed, Vera appeared again.
"Sir Lothar, I'm ...... This afternoon, I boiled hot water from the fireplace in my room, and I wanted to ask...... Are you coming for a shower? ”
Vera asked softly, standing outside Marlon's bedroom.
"Take a bath? Want! Absolutely! ”
Malone listened to Vera's words, was stunned for a moment, and then replied ecstatically.
In fact, when he was on earth, Malone was not a person who loved cleanliness, and he always felt that taking a bath was a troublesome thing; But people change, especially after having to endure blood for the past two weeks.
As soon as he heard that he could take a bath, regardless of whether it was cold or hot, Malone stood up excitedly and walked towards the outside of the bedroom.
"It's downstairs in the living room, Sir Lothar...... Yikes! ”
Vera was talking when she saw Marlon come out of the bedroom, but she couldn't help but let out a soft snort.
"What's wrong?"
Malone asked suspiciously.
"I didn't ...... Nothing, downstairs in the living room, there is a bathtub behind the fireplace, which has been brushed with water......"
Vera hesitated, then lowered her head and hurried back to her room, closing the door quickly.
"Strange, what's going on?"
Marlon muttered to himself, and then went down the stairs by moonlight.
Marlon, who was not familiar with the facilities in this room, fumbled for the fireplace, and then found the bathroom outside the living room behind the fireplace.
"It's such a water boiling method......
Malone sighed as he looked at the small bathroom.
It's clear that there is no such thing as a "solar water heater" in the world of Azeroth, and people here can only use a limited number of ways when boiling water for bathing.
Conditionally - for example, the nobles in Stormwind City, where Marlon lived before, will boil as much hot water as possible and add it at any time to ensure the temperature of the bath water - anyway, as long as there are gold coins, there is no need to worry about running out of water or firewood.
But in Nighttown, it's clear that the people here are doing something different.
After pouring cold water from the water tank with a wooden bucket and pouring it into the bathtub, Malone picked up the tongs that had been set aside, and picked out a stone that had been burned red from the iron box behind the fireplace.
"Wow!"
With a soft sound, accompanied by a puff of white smoke, the stone that was thrown into the bathtub by Malone quickly turned blue-black, and the water temperature ......
"Wow!"
Another soft sound—once a crow threw a stone into a bottle, trying to get a drink; Right now...... Marlon and the crow were doing the same thing, except that he was just trying to take a hot bath.
