Chapter 4: The Magic Sound Penetrates the Brain
After eating, it was already a little late, and the panda and his apprentices came to the east of Pollock City according to the introduction of the enthusiastic aunt of the Adventurers' Association, and sure enough, it was easy to find the "Gray Pigeon" hotel.
Here's how it worked: Erwin approached a passer-by and asked, "Where is the Grey Pigeon Hotel?" and the passerby shook his head blankly. So Wren asked again, "It's the hotel where the boss sings badly", and passers-by immediately understood and pointed out the location for them.
This probably says one thing: that boss sings really hard to hear!
In fact, they quickly understood this.
Before I got to the door of the hotel, I heard someone singing in a ridiculous voice from a distance, and the lyrics were quite normal, but the song was very abnormal.
How to say, the sound of this man's singing is like a wild boar falling into the river, choking on several mouthfuls of water, struggling desperately, and there is a cat on the shore, clawing at the iron plate and screaming loudly...... That's pretty much what it sounds like.
As for whether a boar can swim - it can be a wild boar with a lame leg and unable to swim.
Hearing this singing, Wren's already fairer face became even whiter, Ryana's brows furrowed, and Erwin, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, also showed a look of retreat.
"Master...... Let's change to a different hotel. He whispered, "This place doesn't look like you can sleep peacefully......
The panda nodded heavily as he listened to the song that went straight to his heart like a steel needle through the ear drum, making the rhythm of his heartbeat a little chaotic.
Those who can live in this hotel with peace of mind are definitely not ordinary people!
The four of them fled as if they were fleeing, but after about an hour, they came back in a gloomy way.
Now that the war on the front line is urgent, there are many convoys transporting things to and fro, and the middle and lower class rooms in various hotels are almost full. But they had traveled almost all of Pollock City, and they couldn't find a suitable room, and seeing that it was getting late, even if they had to risk the magic sound, they had to come to this hotel.
Fortunately, there was no singing in the hotel this time, and everyone dared to go in, only to see a tall and fat middle-aged man sitting on a chair behind the counter, his eyes closed, and he seemed to be asleep.
"Boss?" Elwin called tentatively.
The middle-aged man didn't react.
Erwin sighed and was about to shout loudly when Ryana had already slapped her face and slammed it on the counter.
only heard a "bang", the middle-aged man suddenly woke up, stared and jumped up: "Who?!Who ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, dare to come to my Dave to make trouble!"
"What a mess, we're here to stay!" Elwin shouted.
Only then did Dave's boss come to his senses, took out the register, registered their names and origins, and opened them a medium room with four beds according to their request.
In fact, they originally wanted a low-class room, but the low-class room was already filled - it can be seen that the power of money is really huge, even if there is a danger of magic sound, as long as it is cheap enough, more people who have no money are willing to stay.
The "Grey Pigeon" hotel is also cheap, and the rent for the room is almost half that of the others.
However, even if only half of the rent is charged, and almost no one rents the medium rooms, it can be seen that the people of Pollock City are still quite stylish, except for those who are really poor, and the rest of them have a few dollars in their pockets, they would rather be more expensive than endure the murderous singing of this Dave boss.
The hotel also serves guest meals, which is also cheap and good. The location of this hotel is not bad, the conditions are good, the price is even more affordable, if the boss can stop singing, business will be very good.
However, that is not possible.
The pandas had only lived for a short time, and before they could even go downstairs to eat dinner, they heard the boss's singing from downstairs.
This time he seemed to be singing a minor key, but the original tactful minor tune was sung by him like a pig who was tied up by a butcher to take a bath, and saw that he was about to go in with a white knife and come out with a red knife.
Fortunately, the boss only sang for less than half an hour and stopped, which made everyone finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"I've never heard singing so ugly in my life!" Elwin said angrily, "how the hell does this boss have a long voice?"
Everyone shook their heads, but Panda thought about it and thought of a somewhat famous NPC in Pelican City in the Southern Islands.
The NPC's name was "Dave the Maniac", and he was a crazy old man who sang inexplicable songs all day long, and his singing voice was extremely ugly. Thanks to him, all players who come to Pelican City, even if they don't know how powerful they are before, after coming once, they will definitely turn off the speakers, take off the headphones, or simply turn the computer sound to mute when they come again.
Of course, this NPC also has a task for people, but to take his task, you have to listen to him sing first, and then judge what he is singing according to the song - this task is too demanding and too high, and few people can stand it, so there are very few players who can really complete his task there, and they have all been honored as "gods".
Panda is naturally not a god, he also tried to take over Dave's mission, but the task was very simple, basically to assassinate Thracian officers and the like. But after doing it twice, he couldn't stand the ugly singing and couldn't keep doing it.
Now that I think about it, the song is somewhat similar to that of the innkeeper.
Calculating the age, Dave, who is now middle-aged, is almost old when he arrives on the streets.
Calculating the location, the city of Pollock was later breached by the Thracian Empire by means of diving surprise attacks, and was destroyed in the war. If Dave hadn't died in this battle, it would have been possible to flee south to the southern archipelago. And the madman Dave wants to assassinate the Thracian officer, perhaps precisely for revenge.
Could it be ...... This Dave, that's the Dave?
Panda thought for a moment, then contacted Kazune again to ask about Dave's mission.
Most of his tasks in the archipelago are at his fingertips, but Dave's mission is not very familiar.
After receiving information from Kazune, he went downstairs alone and found Boss Dave, who was cleaning up the shop and preparing to close the store.
"Boss, I want to inquire about something. The panda looked left and right to make sure there was no one else here, and asked in a low voice, "Have you ever heard of the 'Water Pearl'?"
Dave's boss froze, as if he had been frozen, staying there motionless, his fat face was even more blue and white, surprised, worried, and scared...... The expressions changed like a marquee.
Seeing this scene, the panda's heart suddenly became happy.
No need to ask, the owner of the Grey Pigeon Hotel is the "madman Dave" who will issue a mission in Pelican City in the archipelago region in the future, asking someone to assassinate a Thracian officer and exchange his head for a reward!
