Chapter 10: The Night on the Other Side (Part II)
He thought about the cause and effect in his heart, coughed twice, turned around and went back to the house, closed the door, and smiled politely: "That, uncle, who are you?"
"Huh?" the old man was already asleep again, and his saliva dragged the old man, "Oh, I'm Daddy, and everyone calls me Daddy." “
"So this is Cherry Ferry?"
"That's right, my family. “
"Then the surrounding houses are full of ......"
"Needless to say, hospitable Daddy's guests. “
"So they're staying here for ......"
"Enjoy the beef risotto that I personally cook on the 15th of every month. “
"And?"
"Those who fled from the war, those who were forced by the Colombo people, and those who waited for ferry tickets all had to stay in hotels, like that. “
"So it's safe here?"
"Safe and secure, equivalent exchange, guests and hosts are happy. The old man rubbed his fingers, "Security is part of room service and is included in the room rate." “
Gu Tie raised an eyebrow (a little awkward, obviously this Zhengtai's facial muscles are less moving) looked at the blind old man, and quietly moved half a foot horizontally, and the old man's eye sockets turned like a searchlight.
Gu Tie was convinced. "Daddy, how many people are there in the town?"
"It's not a joke, the noble lord of Bazelar, the defeated soldiers of the war, the Colombo, the wild monster, one day there will be less trouble, you say no, this young man. ”
"Then Cherry Ferry has a large private guard. ”
"No, no, no, it's just Daddy. Raising soldiers is too expensive. The old man said without changing his face.
Gu Tie resisted the urge to complain, thinking that this was a game world, and he couldn't use common sense to deal with a blind old man with no flesh or two.
He searched the memory of the prophecy book in his mind, calculated it, and said calmly: "Daddy, I will stay here until April 26, and open a room." Do you want to deliver breakfast?" he said, reaching out and touching his pocket, but only touching the flesh of his thigh.
Gu Tie's face turned white. “...... Is it okay to swipe a card?"
"Where is the currency? If it's gold, by weight, no problem. Tong Su is not bullied. "Daddy touched a registration form with his left hand and a quill pen with his right hand, dipped in ink.
“...... Well, Daddy, I have dozens of gems in my bag, and crystals engraved with star arrays, which is about more than the cost of roadside assistance, right?"
"I save you from the woods, not the road. I've calculated, from hearing the sound of you smashing on the ground to pulling you back, coming and going, fifteen miles of night road, just breaking even. You see, you have to add money back and forth, and you have to add money when you travel at night, it's fair, boy!"
You're a taxi! Nighttime prices and empty fares apply!
Gu Tie cursed the old man viciously in his heart, and smiled on his face: "Dad, I don't have a penny on me, but I am an astrologer, as long as I find the union office, I can pay the allowance, besides, I can also do some work for the town, such as ......" He quickly searched for the work that this character could do, and found that after the young astrology apprentice left the astrology tower, he was a pale boy with no power, useless.
“...... For example, this!" Gu Tie looked left and right, his eyes lit up, and he raised the staff used as a crutch: "Look." ”
"Work can be exchanged for money, this is a universal law. The old man said cheerfully, "I welcome such guests." ”
Gu Tie mobilized his memories of the star array, and felt the structure of the star array in the red crystal embedded at the top of the staff, and a complex image of the star array appeared in his sea of consciousness.
Memories told him that the star array was a three-dimensional shape made of extremely thin Mithril threads arranged inside the crystal, and he tried to pluck the string that represented the activation, and the red light slowly shone from the inside of the crystal. Gu Tie carefully controlled the operation of the star array, and felt that the interstellar line emitted by the star "bear" in the first house passed through the underworld, and the sporadic energy of the star array was gathered in the crystal, rotating and gathering, emitting light.
The intense orange-yellow light that illuminated the star array filled the room, and Gu Tie proudly raised his staff, paying homage to the complex and fun game astrology system.
Five minutes later, he let go of his right hand, and the light dimmed. "Daddy, how about this?"
"Huh?"
The old man lifted his eyesockets, which had no eyeballs.
Gu Tie banged his head against the wall.
“...... I mean, I can provide the lighting. Daddy, you see, the night of Cherry Ferry is so dark that the bottom of the pot is also like, it is inconvenient, and there is no mood, go out in the dark to fall in love or get on the tuba, a fall is a trivial matter, how bad is it to step on wild? How?"
Daddy smacked his lips and said, "I didn't understand much, but it seems to make some sense." ”
"It's not just a bit of a truth, it's just a loss-making sale and a good opportunity to make money. Gu Tie said with a grin.
"Well, I have a magician who makes a fire, a steam puppeteer who drives a ship, a bachelor of mathematics who builds a house, but no astrologer who is responsible for lighting. ”
Dad thought about it, threw the form in his hand, touched it again, brushed it and wrote a line of words, and handed it to Gu Tie, "A class A room, No. A52, the second row of the southeast district, excluding breakfast, the lease period is from now until June 15, and the work content is to provide lighting for Cherry Ferry for four hours after sunset every day during the lease period." - Cherry Ferry Protector "Daddy" Muwa.
Gu Tie was a little moved with a pen and paper, how long has it been since he picked up a pen to write? He saw that there was no problem, and signed "Gu Tie" with a quill pen. Suddenly stunned, he erased the name and rewrote a line. "D. Jonah II. Astrology Apprentice".
"Signed?" the old man smiled.
"yes. ”
"Don't have to look at the riders?"
"What?"
Gu Tie pinched the form and turned it over, and forty or fifty lines of small characters were densely printed on the back.
"Additional Clause 1, Guest 00 Room Class Description: Room Class A: Anonymous, Room Class M: Medium, Room Class G: Guest, Room Class V: VIP. ”
"Uh, Daddy, the A-rated room is ......"
"It's the kind of person I don't even bother to memorize the names of guests. There are details later. Daddy replied.
Gu Tie looked down in a cold sweat.
"Additional Clause 7, Rights and Obligations of Room Class A:

Gu Tie finished reading it dizzily and asked, "That is to say, I want to live in a six-person room, and as long as others don't kill me, what do I want to do?"
"You're smart, guest. Finally, I recommend you to take a look at 55 articles. ”
"Additional Article 55, 'Direct Challenge to the Protector of Cherry Ferry Himself' as a Result:
(red king-size font)"
Gu Tie stood in the middle of the hut, dragging a broken leg, looking at the blind and smiling old man, with mixed feelings.
