Chapter 102: Rat Tail Alley
Friday morning at eight o'clock.
Harris arrives at the tavern as promised, and in the presence of Grandin, old Fury and Harris quickly settle the matter.
Old Fury received 10 gold pounds for the decoration, while Harris received his own quest item.
"I think you're a great boy too, how about you, are you going to come to my tavern to do something?"
Old Fury beckoned.
......
Grandin had to deal with the problems between Fury Sr. and Harris in the morning, which delayed him for a while. The lack of familiarity with the road made him misestimate the time it would take to get on the road???.. Com
As a result of these circumstances, by the time he arrived at the team's headquarters in the carriage, he was already about 20 minutes late from the scheduled start time.
"Sorry, I'm late."
He slammed the door in, trying to make himself look more anxious, and said in a cannon-like voice:
"It took me a lot of time to pack my luggage because I was looking for a hotel yesterday, and I ...... waiting for the carriage this morning."
He stopped talking, and in the huge office, there were only two people, Lorota and Seli, very deserted. Sally was sorting out newspapers and magazines, while Lorota was half-slumped on the couch, drinking milk.
"You're pretty early." Lorota yawned. She staggered up from the couch, "I'm going upstairs to rest for a while, the quality of sleep in the cemetery at night is not very good......"
She walked to the partition between the office and the staircase, and then turned back and said:
"What did you just want to say?"
"Nothing, I'd like to say......" Grandin's eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of his mouth turned up, "I mean, I've come to the right place." ”
"You have to get used to the pace of life here."
With that, Lorota raised her legs again and walked upstairs.
"yes, I think I'll try to get used to it as soon as possible."
It's such a great place to fish! I'm a paycheck thief from today onwards!
In a cheerful mood, he followed Lotrotta's example, sat down on the reception couch, and began to enjoy the fish pie he had bought on the side of the road, which was his breakfast.
In addition to the fish, the pie also has onions, spinach and rice, and is wrapped in puff pastry, which is probably a specialty of the city of Enmat, as he has never tasted it anywhere else.
"Huh? Ahem! ”
He choked on ginger beer.
Ginger beer is a drink that uses ginger juice mixed with lemon juice to simulate the taste of beer, which means that it should be non-alcoholic.
"The ginger beer here is actually a real beer? Is this also a feature of the city of Enmat? ”
Glending looked at the glass of ginger beer with a complicated expression, and listened to the stall owner who sold fish pies say that the drink was very popular with women and children......
He tossed the ginger-flavored beer aside and ate the pie quickly.
He didn't want to be drunk in the morning.
"Sir, do you need a newspaper? You don't seem used to drinks in Emmat City? There's also coffee here, I'll make it for you right away. ”
Selie walked over and placed today's stack of newspapers on the coffee table. Then he turned around again and went to the front desk to make coffee.
"Thank you, that's exactly what I need, just call me Grandin." Grandin checked as he flipped through the newspaper, "Seli." Do some of our other partners have other work schedules today? ”
When Seli heard this question, she covered her mouth and smiled, but she didn't answer right away. After handing the coffee to Gruntin, she sat on the couch on the other side before explaining:

; "9 o'clock in the morning is the earliest time to enter the park, but at this time, the breath in the cemetery is not completely precipitated, and ordinary people will become weak if they inhale this breath for a long time. Therefore, for the health of the players, they can come to work half an hour late. ”
"Because of my special physique, I came in early to help Captain Lorota with some chores."
While they were talking, some colleagues had begun to enter the company one after another, and the deserted office was lively.
After getting acquainted with each other, Grandin noticed that Sally was actually quite lively, and at this moment the girl with blue eyes was complaining to him:
"The last to come to work was Milton, who always said that when he became a 'voyeur', he came too early and was prone to seeing something unclean. But before he became a 'voyeur', he didn't see him come to the company earlier. ”
"I think he chose to be extraordinary just because he didn't want to deal with those headaches of paperwork."
"Hmm." Grandin didn't want to say anything about it, maybe the person who came in late and left early the most in the future would be him. He smiled instead, "So what should we do on a regular basis?" I mean, in addition to being a 'pick-up and drop-off'. ”
"We don't usually have anything to do, usually we find a quiet room to study. For example, learning Elven language, ancient Hermetic language, or occult knowledge, and the transcendent events are basically covered by the substitutes of the Church of Storm. ”
Cylie pointed out the window, which was on high ground and just across a small lake from Wuthering Manor. From the open window, you can see that the manor is full of people who come and go from time to time in different costumes, and it looks very busy.
"Good morning, everyone! Is there anyone who comes to 'fight evil'? ”
Milton, the last to arrive, had a deck of cards in his hand.
"Well, there will always be some members who are not enterprising......" Seli's lips pursed, her face full of disgust.
Grandin, who was about to get up and join the 'fight against evil', moved his ass without a trace, lowered his head and continued to pick up the newspaper.
Compared to Beckland's wide variety of newspapers, which make new things every day, the local newspapers in Emmatt are a bit boring.
But the newspaper called "Rat Tail Alley" is quite interesting, it mainly serializes some weird stories, some of which are quite bluffing, such as one called "The Passage Without End"-
It's a huge hollow. It was deep, dark, and there was no end in sight, only the cold wind whining. Don't try to get into its secrets, because the seeker himself will become a mystery. ’
"Grandin, can you hand me the newspaper when you're done?"
Calling Grandin by name seems to make Sally a little shy.
"No problem, I've just finished reading it."
He handed the newspaper to Cylie, who was still somewhat immersed in the horror of the description:
"These stories are really well written, but unfortunately I see that many of the stories are written by anonymous authors?"
"Yes. Because many of them are based on local anecdotes, there is no way to find the authors of these stories. Seli stared at the newspaper and said casually.
"yes......"
Grandin groaned and didn't speak again.
At noon, they ate the braised sea trash fish made by Karin, which was full of pots and tasted very delicious. Lotrota smelled and came over, Grandin didn't study fish, he only recognized the keel fish in it, but that didn't stop him from eating it.
Perhaps because he had eaten too much, he stared blankly at the ceiling of the dining room after lunch, not wanting to move at all.
