Chapter 59: Mercenaries stationed at the store
The next day, when I came out of the boundless forest sea in the blue and black, it was already evening. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
There is still an endless stream of adventurers and hunters coming and going in Zekkalinya, buyers coming by car from all over the country, some children of the townspeople are playing in groups on the chaotic streets, chasing and running, and you can vaguely hear the clanging of blacksmith shops, and the shouts of the Chinese medicine vendors in the crowd: "Turnips, sage, rosemary and lilies, in the mountains and deep forests......"
Luo Lan took the little girl back to the hotel, and there were people sitting everywhere in the store, looking much more lively than when she first arrived. As the only hotel in town, the second floor and backyard are occupied with guest rooms, and the spacious atrium on the first floor is used for entertaining travelers, half used as a tavern.
Entering the inn, there are tables and wooden beams supporting the entire roof, and in the center of the house is a fireplace burning coals, and firewood is flourishing.
He picked a random seat on the side and sat down with Lucia. The little girl was still dressed in a gray-blue robe, and when she arrived in the town she had put on a hood to hide her pretty face, but occasionally she could see a half-exposed nose and a pink mouth under the brim.
The hostess in the hotel was a girl in her twenties, with a middle-to-upper face, wearing an apron, and when she saw a guest arrive, she immediately stood at the table and asked, "What do you need, guest?"
Luo Lan took out the key sign of the hotel and shook it, indicating the identity of the hotel, and he also changed into a black robe at the moment, so as not to attract attention. Next to her, Lucia replied, "A hot bread, a herring noodle soup and vegetable salad, thank you." ā
"Oh, I'm sorry that the two guests have returned from the Twilight Forest, I don't recognize them because I have such a bad memory. The hotel girl exclaimed when she saw Luo Lan's key card, and then found that the bulging burden next to the two of them was even more surprised, and said with a sweet smile: "It seems that the two guests have a good harvest, the things you want will be served soon, and the one who comes back from the Twilight Forest will give a free cup of flower tea according to the practice of our store, is it okay?"
"Okay, I'm sorry for you. Lucia said.
Then the girl stepped back and ordered to cook, and soon the ordered things were served, and the efficiency was very fast, and there was also a cup of flower tea as a gift.
Lucia didn't go to taste the flower tea first, but picked up the hot bread and ate it. After two days in the forest, they were all eaten cold dry food, which was undoubtedly a test for the little girl who had always lived in the city, and it was already commendable that she did not complain. At this moment, how could she hold back the hot food when she saw it again, so Luo Lan also took her directly to eat, and the burden was not yet put back in the guest room.
As an undead, Luo Lan naturally didn't need to eat or drink, thinking about tomorrow's plan on the table, and overheard the discussion of the people around him.
At the opposite table sat four men dressed as adventurers, talking loudly, and their voices came clearly, and one of them said bald-headed: "Hey, did you see that group of mercenaries yesterday, good boy, that is officially registered in the mercenary union, and one of them is still carrying undead servants." ā
"Really, they live in this shop too? It's a pity that I didn't arrive yesterday, so I'll visit a few mercenaries later, maybe I can make friends." "Another humane.
"Don't think about it, there are a lot of mercenaries who don't like outsiders to disturb, and when the time comes, if you annoy them, you will only consider yourself unlucky. The person at the table diagonally opposite sneered: "It seems that you rarely come to Zekalinya Town, it is rare and strange, and every year several waves of mercenaries come to the town. ā
"Brother, we did come from afar, I don't know what the mercenaries are doing in this town? The bald man saluted and wondered.
"The mercenary lord is naturally commissioned by the City Lord's Mansion to come here, and it is said that it is to eliminate the demonic beasts in the Twilight Forest, and this forest has become more and more dangerous in recent years. Seeing the bald strong man at the opposite table toasting, he also returned a glass, and his tone was much calmer: "Don't say the adventurers who have never returned, several hunters in the town have disappeared, last month's Goode, and the earlier hunter Hagrid, someone came back from the forest a few days ago and said that they had seen animal corpses, and they were all human tooth prints......"
Luo Lan knew in his heart when he heard this, what the person at the table said was probably the zombie he found in the forest, but ordinary people couldn't see it.
"Ahem......"
Lucia, who was drinking herring noodle soup next to her, suddenly coughed, as if she was choked because she drank too quickly, Luo Lan immediately patted the little girl's back gently, and said with a smile: "Drink slowly, no one will rob you." ā
"Hee-hee, I feel like I can eat hot food now, cough, it's good. Lucia looked up and smiled coquettishly, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth.
Unexpectedly, when he raised his head, most of his delicate face was exposed, and he suddenly looked at a sharp-eyed Moxican-haired man on the table next to him, and exclaimed: "Obediently, I'm not mistaken, it's a little girl who is running to the Twilight Forest to do what? If something happens, it's a pity that it's such a pampered little face." ā
As soon as the big man with Moxican-style hair spoke, he immediately attracted the attention of the whole room, and everyone in the inn turned their eyes to Luo Lan's side, and suddenly there were several exclamations. Seeing so many strangers staring at her, Lucia immediately blushed and buried her head in Luo Lan.
"I said what did the black-robed man think, he actually brought a little girl into the mountain, is it ......" The big man with Moxican-style hair was suddenly stopped by a middle-aged man at the same table in the middle of his words.
"Shut up!" the middle-aged man interrupted loudly, and then apologized to Luo Lan: "I'm sorry, sir, Moss He didn't mean it, please forgive me." ā
The big man named Moss wanted to say something more, but was stopped by the middle-aged man with a stern look.
"Hehe, Moss, you really can't teach enough lessons, and you can't hold back your mouth. The man at the other table sneered, "Those two have just returned from the Twilight Forest unscathed, and they really don't have any eyesight to look at the baggage they brought back." Yesterday you also angered the mercenary, and I don't know who peed his pants in fear when he saw the undead servant of the magician. ā
There were obviously many people in the inn who were there yesterday, and everyone burst into laughter when they heard the man's revelation, but no one was interested in making trouble with Lucia.
In the end, the red-faced big Hammos toasted Luo Lan and apologized slightly, Luo Lan was not a person with a small belly, and waved his hand to let him go. In fact, if the middle-aged man hadn't stopped it in time just now, he would definitely have taught Moss, who had nothing to do.
Luo Lan has always been low-key in the human world, but he adheres to the principle that people don't offend me and I don't offend people, if someone provokes him, he won't swallow his anger.
In fact, since he became an undead, he has a much lighter feeling about the bloody corpses, strictly speaking, this time to hunt beasts in the Twilight Forest is also the first time he has really seen blood killing, but seeing those bloody corpses does not have any bad feelings, but will gush out a little excitement and thirst for killing, this may be the nature of the undead.
