"No need! Just when the innkeeper was about to refuse Xu Changqing's request for an overnight stay, the old man in the wig suddenly stopped him and said, "Everything that should be said has been said, everyone go back and prepare for themselves!" After speaking, he smiled at Xu Changqing and said: "We haven't been an outsider in our town for a long time, I hope you can live comfortably here." ”

With that, he took off his cloak from the hanger and put it on, and walked out of the room first, and the others followed him one after another, and soon the crowded hotel parlor was empty. When the last few young townspeople walked past Xu Changqing, Xu Changqing suddenly frowned, sniffed hard, showed a meaningful smile on his face, and looked at everyone's figures, as if he had found something interesting.

"I must be very tired from rushing in such a heavy rain, right?" The boss stepped forward and said: "My body is also wet from the rain, take off my wet clothes and roast it by the fire!" \///\\”

"I'm sorry for you!" Xu Changqing nodded, handed the windbreaker on his body to the innkeeper, and while sitting by the fire, he ordered: "There is no need for hot soup, just a glass of hot ale, and as for dinner, you don't have to prepare it, just arrange a room for me directly." ”

"Okay. The boss saw that although Xu Changqing's body was wet with rain, his face did not turn pale after freezing, so he didn't say anything more, hung the wind next to the fireplace, and turned around and went to the kitchen in the back. Xu Changqing didn't immediately go to the fireplace, but wiped the dirt on his shoes, and then walked back and forth in the room to take a look. \\/\

The furnishings of the inn are simple, in addition to the usual tables, chairs, and counters, there are some very strange-looking decorations on the walls. Xu Changqing stopped in front of a tree vine wreath, the pattern of this wreath was very simple, that is, several vines curled together, without any strange symbols and patterns. He was interested in the garland. This is because this wreath is completely natural, without any traces of artificial weaving, and there is a very peaceful wood spirit aura attached to the wreath.

"That is the eye of Pan, the god of forests and shepherds. The boss came out from behind with a pot of ale wine, and when he saw Xu Changqing standing next to the garland, he was stunned, and then introduced.

Xu Changqing turned to look at the innkeeper. He asked, "Pan, the one from Greco-Roman mythology?"

"Yes. \\\" The boss didn't shy away, nodded with a smile, and said, "Pan is the patron saint of our town. Almost every household here has one such wreath. ”

Xu Changqing walked to the fireplace and sat down, enjoying the warmth brought by the flames, while drinking the home-made ale with a hint of bitterness. On the other hand, he said seemingly casually: "This is a very good handicraft, it has not undergone any artificial zuò, it is completely natural, and the garlands here are all like this The innkeeper was slightly stunned, hesitated, and said: "Of course not, my garland is unique." The other garlands are all hand-woven. Then he asked, "Are you a collector of crafts?"

"Sort of!" Xu Changqing replied following the innkeeper's guess.

"In the past, there were some vendors in the town who came to buy handicrafts, but now it is rare, but it is the first time that handicraft collectors from the East have seen them. The innkeeper looked like he hadn't spoken in a long time, and he had a table, chair and wine glasses in his hands. As if muttering to himself, "I also went to the East with merchant ships when I was young, and you are very different from those Orientals. ”

Xu Changqing secretly took out a piece of Wanjia incense from his sleeve and threw it into the stove, and said, "Maybe it's because I've grown taller." ”

"No, it's not about the size, it's about the different temperaments. The boss saw that Xu Changqing's wine glass was empty, so he brought him another glass and said, "This cup is my invitation." Then he sniffed the fragrance wafting from the fire, felt refreshed, and couldn't help asking, "What kind of fragrance is this?" \//\”

Xu Changqing didn't answer him again, closed his eyes and quietly poured the pure yin qi in the incense into his body. Nourish the Yin God.

Then. Suddenly, the door of the hotel opened again, followed by four or five men and women who walked in one after another. These men and women are both old and young. All of them appear to be very athletic, wearing the same long wind and carrying the same style canvas travel bag, looking like members of a unified organization. Xu Changqing could smell the strong smell of blood on these people almost without any effort, and he could also feel that the ground weapon hidden under their windbreaker was definitely not an ordinary earth weapon, and the power attached to it could be regarded as a good earth magic weapon.

After these people came in, the boss's face changed color slightly, and then he showed a formulaic smile and greeted him. When a few people saw that there were other people in the hotel, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but they quickly regained their normal colors. The old man at the head made a secret tidy-up, and then stepped forward to talk to the boss, while the others scattered seemingly randomly, and occupied the positions of the doors and windows, intentionally or unintentionally. Some of them set their eyes on Xu Changqing, who was sitting quietly, but when they saw that he was like an ordinary person, they moved away again, and some of them put their eyes on the ordinary garland, obviously aware of the strange power contained in the garland.

Xu Changqing opened his eyes, turned his head to look at these people, and his gaze lingered for a moment on the silver cinnamon strip pendant on the right shoulder of these people, but he immediately retracted it and closed his eyes again. Xu Changqing already knew the identities of these people, he had heard from Father Matthews that there was a secret demon hunter organization in Europe, and the silver cinnamon strip was the symbol of this organization.

It is said that it was a secret organization set up by the Roman Empire at the beginning, in order to hunt down the Western Church believers, but for some reason this organization suddenly became a supporter of the Western Church, and helped the Western Church become the legitimate Church of Rome. However, during the Crusades, this ancient organization split from the Western Church and became an organization dedicated to the killing of non-human creatures in Europe. The objects they hunted and killed included angels, gods, elves, monsters, etc., and the organization could be said to have become the public enemy of the entire European god world, although it was often attacked by various forces, but it was still able to survive with difficulty. Looking at the current situation, they seem to be mixing well in this era of science supremacy, which shows that their strength should not be underestimated.

"Looking at the weather, it may rain for a few more days. The old man at the head suddenly raised his voice, as if he were telling the innkeeper, and as if he were saying to his subordinates, "Prepare three rooms for us, I think we may need to stay here for a few days." ”
