Volume 2 Don't Chapter 9 Pamela (II)
"Of course. Hopler looked at the two teenagers, "I'm going to train you well here, a year is a short time, do you have any opinions?"
"If it's in Lozema, it seems like it's good. Lotte nodded, after all, along the way, Lotema was very attractive to the two of them, and it was not a bad thing to live in such a city for a year, and Rhodes thought so too.
"How about five thousand gold coins for a single room?" the boss put forward the price, "a double room, a single room, twelve thousand five." β
"So much..."The teenagers whispered in amazement, only two gold coins a day in the hotel in Kuro Town were enough, but it was understandable that such a bustling city would not last long, but their bounty would not last long if they stayed like this.
"Okay" Hopler agreed, and when he saw the expressions on the faces of the two teenagers, he laughed, "The accommodation fee is on my head, but I have to pay for the living expenses." β
"Uncle Hopler... This..."The sudden generosity of the warrior overwhelmed the teenagers a little.
"Thank you so much Uncle Hopler, we won't be spending money indiscriminately. Lotra bowed deeply as Rhodes bowed.
"It's not enough to save money, as long as you can complete the commission, you can earn money, and that's the job of the adventurer. The woman at the front desk had already written the slip, and Hoppler looked at it and signed his name, and the parchment changed after Hoppler had signed it, and finally the words "payment completed" were displayed.
"Welcome to our 'Paz Inn', please come with me to my room. "The owner greeted them very warmly as they went upstairs.
Rod and Lott moved into the double room, while Hopler was in the single room to the left of their room. They have no luggage, but the hotel has everything, unlike the shabby hotels in Kulo Town, even the guild rooms are not as good as the hotels in Lozema, the exquisite interior decoration plus a full range of daily necessities, except for the lack of weapon racks and magic tables, the conditions here are much better than there, of course, the fees are quite expensive.
"I'll have to go back to the guild to get you transferred, you can walk around, and I'll start training you tomorrow. Hopler threw down these words and hurried away, because it was not early, even if it was a carriage, there was not much time, and there was probably no warrior to be seen before dinner.
The teenagers were allowed by the fighters to run out of the hotel. Before, because they were in a hurry, the shops along the street could only walk in a hurry, but now the teenagers began to walk back along the road, and the neighborhood of the hotel was a residential area, and the shopping street was on the guild's side, so they walked directly in the direction of the guild, but with their legs, and the hopler was a carriage.
The two teenagers walked around and looked around, although they wanted to change into light clothes like the people on the street, and there were indeed many such clothes in the wardrobe of the hotel, but this idea was explicitly forbidden by Hopler, which meant that wearing leather armor in such a hot place was also considered a kind of exercise.
So the teenagers had to dress so awkwardly for the activity, and they quickly crossed the residential area and returned to the shopping area. They can finally go in and check out the shops here.
"Yo, little brother, do you want to see our new sword?" Walking into a weapon shop, the clerks came up to greet them enthusiastically, "Our shop has cooperation with the adventurer's guild, if you are an adventurer, you can get a twenty-percent discount~" The clerk was a woman, she said and took Rod's hand and pulled him to the counter of a long sword.
There were a number of long swords in front of the counter, they were of different lengths and different lines on the hilts, and they seemed to come from the hands of many different people.
"We're just looking around. Lott followed them.
But Rhodes was already intrigued by these weapons, and he picked up a long sword, "This sword looks so good." β
"Yes, you are so discerning, this sword is now on sale, it only costs a hundred gold coins, if you are an adventurer, it will only cost eighty gold coins. The clerk went out of his way to start selling the sword.
"Rod!" Lott dragged him aside, "You want to change your sword, don't you have the holy sword Escar?" The two looked down at Rod's waist at this time, and an amazing scene appeared, under the premise that no one drew the sword, Eskar had already unsheathed three inches by himself. This frightened Rod, and he hurriedly shoved the sword in his hand to Lot.
"I'm picking it for you, of course I don't have to change it, all the weapons here don't add up to my Eska. With Rhodes finished, they saw Eskar's exposed part go back. Rod breathed a sigh of relief at this time.
"I don't need it, if we want to change, Uncle Hopler will guide us, don't make your own decisions, just take a look. He said as he walked back to the counter and put his sword back.
After that, no matter what the clerk said, the two ignored it, and after a few failures, the clerk walked away with each other.
After feasting their eyes, the two left the weapon shop, then went to the clothing store, and then the magic grocery store with various magic items, and they walked back to the guild as they walked around.
"Our Fatherβ" a shout attracted the attention of the teenagers in the street, who turned their heads to see a church priest standing on the steps in the distance, with blond hair and a look of his fifties, and there were already a lot of people gathered below him, all of whom were reverently holding their hands and bowing their heads.
"What is that for, is it a mission?" said Lot, staring at the priest.
"Church people, leave it alone," Rod urged impatiently.
Then the priest spoke again: "He teaches us love and care. β
"Love and care" was repeated by the crowd.
Lott was interested in the group, but Rod was reluctant.
"Rod, sooner or later, we, as adventurers, will come into contact with the church, let's go over and have a look first. Lott knew that Rhodes was a little reluctant, but it was the first time he had seen such a church priest, and both of them were actually curious.
In the end, Lott pulled Rod closer to the crowd. When they got close to the crowd, they realized that there were all races in the crowd, humans, elves, dwarves and even a few goblins.
At this time, the priest on the steps also noticed the two teenagers.
"O lost onesβ" The priest beckoned to the boys, and the crowd turned to look at them.
The two teenagers were so frightened by this cry that they wanted to run "Don't be afraid" The priest saw their intentions and hurriedly stopped them, he hurried down the steps "Children, don't reject the teachings of the Father, please come." β
Greeted like this, the young man looked at each other hesitantly, and the two of them had not yet decided, when the priest stepped forward and grabbed their hands, "If I caused you to be so alarmed, I should apologize" The priest bowed his head slightly, "I was a little overjoyed to see the two new faces. β
"Priest... Weβ" Lott regretted why he had come.
"Father, we're just curious, we're not here to join the church. Rod refused outright, and tried to break free from the priest's hand, but the priest couldn't shake it off because of his grip.
"Converted?" the priest said, "Children, are you not Pamela?" he asked tentatively
"We're from Portnas. Lott hurriedly said his identity: "Actually, we're just curious to take a look." β
"I see" the priest laughed, and the crowd laughed too, "I think, why are you so strange, I'm sorry I misunderstood" The priest apologized again, "This month is Pamela's month of good deeds, our church will organize citizens to collect money to help the poor, just a prayer before our fundraising. β
"Ahh
"I'm sorry," the priest let go of his grip on them, "It's completely voluntary, I'm a little excited, you can don't donate, but since you're from Potternas, I'd like to invite you to visit our Pamela for good deeds, is it convenient for you?"
The priest said this, and the crowd invited them one after another, and Lot really couldn't refuse, although Rhodes didn't want to go, but it was rude to go like this.
"Okay, we're willing" Lott snapped up, and seeing that his friend agreed, Rod couldn't say no. Then they were pulled to the front of the crowd by the priest: "Now let's continue our prayers. The priest beckoned to the crowd.
Everyone lowered their heads again and shook their hands, and the teenagers were embarrassed and could only follow along, although they were a little reluctant in their hearts, but everyone was standing here, and there was no way.
The prayer lasted another five minutes and finally ended, and the priest led the crowd into the church. The church here is much larger than the town of Kurlo, several times larger than the cathedral in the nameless town, the strange frescoes and stained glass carved in the sanctuary give the whole atmosphere a solemn look, and the chairs below are probably enough to hold hundreds of people praying at the same time.
Rhodes and Lott visited such a large church, and Pamela was much more prosperous than Porternas, and even the church was so far apart, and their hearts were quite excited. They didn't show too much of a gaffe, they just admired and let the crowd go to the front, and finally they picked a seat in the back row and sat down.
Soon after the two of them sat down, Lott felt something strange in the atmosphere.
"There's a problem, Rod. Lott hurriedly reminded his friend.
"What?" Rod hadn't reacted yet.
"It feels familiar, you can't go wrong, there's that person in the crowd. Lott nervously began to stare at the people in front of him.
"That..."Rod didn't understand at first, but he quickly reacted, "You said that, do you want to help them?"
"Since the priest has been so hospitable to us, let's help. "You look at the left half, I look at the right half, pay attention to their hands." β
"Isn't it just to catch the thief, leave it to me. Rod laughed excitedly.
"Well, over to you. Casually agreeing, Lott never doubted his friend.
