Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Town on the Other Side
"Ahh......h Well, I think I should take back my words - it's even more shabby here than I thought! ”
After entering the room, the big man was directly itched his nose by the dust kicked up, and he sneezed straight away; Then, the flying dust swept towards the two of them; If it weren't for Ava's quick pull of the big man back and his attention to the door, I'm afraid both of them would have tried another version of desert travel, 'Dirt Travel'.
"I don't think it's been a decade since no one moved in and cleaned it!"
The big man looked at the closed door and complained to his friend with a thoughtful brow that he really didn't have the courage to open it now.
"I think it's been longer!"
Like the big man, Ava didn't have the courage to travel in the dust.
Luckily, the owner wasn't just a man who didn't just take money and didn't do anything - after about two minutes of hearing the big man's shouts, the innkeeper appeared in front of the big man with his cleaning tools and two men, one of whom was supposed to be the innkeeper and the other was supposed to be the waiter.
In the same way, these two are also the kind of old people.
"Two guests, please wait a moment...... Maybe you'd like to try my tea? ”
The innkeeper gestured to the only workers in the two inns, and smiled at the big man and Ava - he was now very annoyed that he had forgotten the real situation in his room, and that such a forgetfulness would undoubtedly cost him a great loss.
Two standard-grade magic crystals were a lot of money for the innkeeper.
He is now deeply afraid that the other party will return such a 'deposit'. Leave his inn; After all. In the town on the other side. Although there is only one hotel, there are many places to stay; Given such a generous 'deposit', more than ninety percent of the people in the entire town on the other side will welcome anyone with the most sincere smile.
In fact, it was precisely because of this that his inn was even more declining - at least, when he was younger, when his father was still an innkeeper, it was quite good; But. With the intrusion of a large number of 'outsiders' at that time, the town on the other side became more and more unfamiliar.
However, they are already used to it, after all, those 'outsiders' have also become locals for decades.
As for defaults?
Although the innkeeper is not a big man in the town on the other side, when he sees the big man and the cloak on Ava, he understands what this represents - the Blood Alliance Tower, which is not something that he can afford to provoke as a small innkeeper, even if he is the innkeeper of the town on the other side, it is the same.
After all. Compared to the bridge on the other side, the town on the other side is a clean and bright one. It's just a little peculiar springboard - the innkeeper, who has lived here for nearly sixty years, already knows it in his heart; And I know what kind of attitude I should have, especially when facing such a big person.
You know, he still has a son.
"I don't want tea, I just want a clean and tidy room...... And the mattress, mug and pillow on the bed, also changed for me with new ones! ”
The big man said emphatically - it's not that he has any cleanliness, and if he can become a qualified witcher, he can't have such a thing as cleanliness; It's just that although he only glanced at it before, he can clearly see all kinds of insects crawling on that bed because of decay.
It's not an exaggeration to say it's a hive.
Although they have faced a more severe environment, it does not mean that the big man is willing to face such an environment in a hotel.
"And, the other three rooms!"
Ava reminded aloud.
Obviously, like the big man, Ava doesn't want to stay in such an environment, even if there is a natural way in his choice.
"No problem! Please give me half an hour and I'll take care of everything! ”
Seeing that the two had no intention of leaving, the innkeeper made a promise with a smile; And this guarantee was carried out in the true sense of the word, and after twenty-five minutes, the room where the big man had opened the door had been completely renewed; Not only is the dust gone, the bedding has been replaced with new ones, and even the candlesticks have been wiped with light.
"Do you need me to inform the guests about dinner?"
After the big man and Ava nodded in satisfaction, the innkeeper asked with a smile.
"Please be on time!"
The big man affirmed.
"Of course!"
The innkeeper bowed down and exited the room, and gently closed the door; The big man and Ava did not take a closer look at the room in front of them until they were sure that the other was far away—it was an extremely simple room, except for two beds, there was only a wooden room the size of a telephone booth, with a basin and shelves in it, which explained its role as a bathroom; Other than that, there is nothing left in this room.
There may have been some decorations before, but as time passed, they were undoubtedly taken away by the innkeeper; After all, a damaged item has little value to hang on; All that was left behind were traces of nails in the shape of round holes; At the end of the house is a window that can be opened and closed, but every time it opens and closes, it makes a 'squeak' sound.
Through the glass of the window, you can see the streets of the town on the other side, a large town of 4,000 people, with three formal streets, lined with these two-story houses, mostly wooden and a few brick and stone buildings near the center of the town.
Obviously, the people who live there have a special identity.
Standing at this window, you can clearly see the masonry houses, the white walls, which stand out in the brown of a wooden house.
Knock, knock!
Just as the big man and Ava had finished looking around the room and had just sat down, there was a long and short knock on the door, followed by the voice peculiar to the little man.
"It's me!"
The big man pulled open a crack in the door. Immediately. I saw my friend after the disguise - the originally clean face was now dark. The neat dress of the witcher on his body has also become a robe and headwear, plus that thick beard, he is completely dressed as a local.
This kind of dress made the big man take a few careful looks, and then he dared to confirm that it was his friend; Right away, a gap was opened to accommodate a friend to pass through, and then. After checking to make sure no one was following him, the big man closed the door.
"Datong, you ...... like this"
The big man pointed up and down to his friend's dress.
"The dress of the locals? I feel that if we were all from the Blood Alliance Tower, it would cause some trouble for our actions - especially when the teleportation array that entered the bridge on the other side was sanctified. After the people of Dege accept it! ”
The little man shrugged his shoulders and explained.
In the past, when they separated, in the original plan, the little man, Herman and his party also needed the costume of the Blood Alliance Tower; However, when Totor and Murray, who had been in the steppe first, sent the news back to the town on the other side, the little man changed his mind temporarily.
The Blood Alliance Tower, although it is one of the four powerful forces of the bridge on the other side. But compared to the rest of the tripartite forces, the Blood Alliance Tower has always been in a state of isolation—it wasn't very obvious before. But after experiencing the previous 'contact' with Ye Qi, such isolation has been put on the surface.
Especially after the intervention of Kirska, the former pope, the situation is a little more complicated.
At the very least, from this moment St. Dego directly intervened in the town on the other side, and he had already shown a hint of an extraordinary signal.
"The power of the bridge on the other side has intervened in the town on the other side?"
The big man asked in surprise.
"The power of the bridge on the other side has never left the town on the other side - will you feel comfortable leaving your gate to someone you don't trust?" The little man pointed to the masonry houses near the center of the town, and continued, "That's right, the white masonry houses...... They have been holy for a long time. the dwellings of the families of Dego's subordinates; It's been going on for almost fifty years! ”
"And this time, His Majesty the Pope Koska is just turning this 'integration' into control!" The little man shrugged his shoulders and said, "Now, at the entrance of that teleportation array, there are four saints. Brother Del Solar level guards, and inside there should be a legendary powerhouse of the transcendent realm - this is the bright place, and the dark place should be the person of the coffin of the underworld, although I can't determine the exact number, but it will not be less than the saint on the bright side. Dego's people! ”
"In other words, it has become difficult for us to enter the bridge on the other side!" After the big man and Ava exchanged glances, the latter continued: "And, what is even more difficult is how we can control this place quietly, instead of being passed on by the other party!" ”
"Well, once it is passed back, with the experience of His Majesty the Pope Koska, he will definitely understand what we want to do!" The little man nodded, and as he spoke, his face thoughtful, "But, the problem we face now is how to get in—before, that control obviously didn't work, and if we get through it, I don't think any of us will work except Darlan!" ”
The particularity of the big man, even if he has become a legendary powerhouse in the transcendent realm at this moment, there is no change, just looking at the breath, it is still between the peak of the moonlight level and the solar level, and it is at the level of 'newly' - except for Ye Qi, who has [blind fighting perception], otherwise it will be difficult for someone to find out the true strength.
"If Darlan is alone, if he wants to complete the task in it, it is obviously not possible - we need at least two people!" After Ava spoke, he obviously did not intend to remain silent, and after a slight mutter, he said his thoughts: "If you want to achieve the desired goal, you must let the saint. Brother De and the Coffin of the Underworld are challenged at the same time - in fact, I think the same should be true of Springwater City! And if only one of them is challenged, it is likely to be flanked ......"
"With three days to go until the Moon Celebration, I think we have plenty of time to think of the best of both worlds! I have one more piece of news here! The little man looked at the two friends who were thinking about it, and couldn't help laughing, and changed the subject, "That madwoman's teacher has appeared in the town on the other side before; However, it was Kirli's face. After a hurried appearance. It's back again! ”
"What is he doing doing this? Proof of his existence? ”
The big man asked, confused.
"He's looking for someone — or rather. Help some people look for something again! ”
The little man laughed.
"Hotlier?!"
The big man and Ava thought for a moment, and then said almost in unison.
"Well, that's right! It should be this Lord Hotlier - it seems that the interior of Spring City is far more complicated than we thought! The little man spread his hands and said with a smile, "Do you think that such conditions as 'I recognize your identity, and you help me find someone' are easy to accept?" ”
"Spring City Lord, is there really a problem?"
Faced with the constant doubts. After receiving an affirmative answer at this moment, neither the big man nor Ava was overjoyed, but their faces became heavy - if it was really as the little man guessed, then they would have to face the bridge on the other side in addition to the blood alliance tower's potential power, three potential forces.
And this is obviously not good news for them with a thin manpower.
"Well, you shouldn't be wrong - Killey's death is a fact, but it's here to show up, and it's also recognized by Huck...... I don't see the slightest helplessness in this kind of recognition, on the contrary, it is still the appearance of sincere cooperation! If it is said. If Huck had no problem, I wouldn't have believed it! ”
The little man recounted the reappearance of 'Killi'. While talking about his opinion.
"I think we need support from headquarters!"
Ava thought for a moment and said with a wry smile.
"yes, I hope the support from the headquarters will arrive in time!"
The little man did not refute his friend's statement, and nodded with the same wry smile.
After all, according to their estimates, on the day of the Lunar Celebration, although the Koska Pope would use most of his strength to attack, there should also be a considerable amount of strength left in the bridge on the other side; And that amount of power is at least the amount of power that the Blood Alliance Tower does not dare to act rashly - and according to the Blood Alliance Tower, aside from the tower master, the number of six Transcendent Realm Legendary powerhouses must be at least seven Legendary powerhouses.
And there are only three of them at the moment, and if they want to fight against seven legendary powerhouses, it is obviously a little inadequate.
As for the addition of the Blood Alliance Tower?
At this moment, although they can fight the banner of the Blood Alliance Tower, when they enter the bridge on the other side, they have to 'challenge' in their own name, and it is not that the Blood Alliance Tower does not help - but the four sides of the bridge on the other side have a 'mutual non-aggression' agreement, and under such an agreement, the Blood Alliance Tower cannot help them at all.
Of course, from another point of view, the Blood Alliance Tower is also not optimistic about their approach; Otherwise, it will not be bound by the so-called 'agreement' at all, after all, such a thing, without the constraints of a real contract, is at best a piece of waste paper of little value.
"I think I'm ......"
The big man looked at his two friends who were slightly distressed, and just as he was about to open his mouth to say that he was sure of something, there was a moan of a wooden plank at the top of the stairs.
"I think I've got to leave!"
After the little man left such a sentence, he flashed out of the room with a smile.
And in ten seconds, the door of the room rang -
"Two guests, dinner is ready!"
The innkeeper knocked on the door and shouted.
"We'll go down right now!"
The big man immediately shouted; Then he stood up and opened the door; Outside the door, the innkeeper was bowing with a smile on his face.
"Potatoes, onions, corn and camel meat?"
The big man asked, twitching his nose.
"And some bread that bakes right away!"
The innkeeper added.
The big man looked at Ava, and after the latter motioned for him to bring him one, the big man immediately turned and walked downstairs - as for what he wanted to show to his two friends?
Isn't it the same after dinner?
……
The first floor of the inn was undoubtedly cleaner than when the two of them came in; Evidently it had been carefully cleaned, and the tables, chairs, and stools had been reinforced—the big man could see at a glance that one of the stools had five 'legs', and that the extra one had apparently been removed from a nearby stool and nailed up, so that the stool would not be split in two from the surface of the stool.
"You may be seated!"
The innkeeper handed the big man the stiffened, five-legged stool, and then turned and ran toward the kitchen at the back of the inn, and he ran back and forth for a few times—food for thirty people could not be served by one man at a time; Even if this person has a strength that is quite extraordinary compared to ordinary people, it is the same.
However, even the innkeeper is running back and forth like this, and compared to the speed of the big man, it is slightly inferior.
Almost under the incredulous gaze of the innkeeper, the big man threw the bread into the large iron pot, and then took the broth straight up, and with a few respites poured the broth and bread into it, which required five people to eat; After five times in a row, it was only for the sixth time that the big man began, chewing slowly like an ordinary person.
"Camel meat is good, onions, should be cooked for a little longer, it's a little spicy!"
The big man commented while eating.
If you didn't eat it so quickly, how could it be, no longer cook it for a while!!
The innkeeper thought as the corners of his mouth twitched; However, the innkeeper would not say this to his face, but kept smiling and quietly watching the big man's gluttonous meal; It wasn't until outside the inn that footsteps were heard again.
Moreover, not alone.
