In the glow of the Crystal Tower, Job Fortress quietly played the role of a guard, checking on everyone who approached the Crystal Capital.

"Is there anyone living in that tower?" Luca pointed to the crystal tower that stretched into the sky, full of curiosity.

"I don't know, it's my first time here, so we'd better keep a low profile. If asked, say that we are businessmen. ”

"Please stop." The guard on the guard tower on the side of the road waved at the two of them, "Please wait here for an investigation." ”

Two more guards came down from the watchtower on the other side and saluted Luca and Cole.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? One of the female Weiss guards questioned the two.

"We are merchants of Ammuailan and want to take a break here from the Jobe Fortress." Cole also returned the salute, and asked by the way, "How many gold coins do you need to stay here?" ”

The woman waved her hand, "There is no need for gold coins, I will inform the captain of the situation, and she will entertain you." But—"

"There doesn't seem to be any news lately that Anmuaira's caravan will come to the Crystal Capital—"

"Ah, we're different, we're not here to do business in Crystal Capital this time, we just want to take a break here." Cole hastened to explain.

"Well, that's okay." The guard nodded, pointing to the building not far away, "Please follow this path all the way, our captain will arrange it for you over there." ”

"It was so easy to get in, I thought I would have to be very strict about what to cross-examine." Cole muttered quietly as he walked.

"Shouldn't it? Or is the situation wrong? ”

"It's not - the vetting of the Yumo Gang is very strict, and it's almost impossible for strangers to infiltrate the Yumo Gang. Even the process of getting in and out of the Yumo gang with familiar faces like me before is very complicated. ”

"Then you didn't meet me, if you were me, no one would know about going in and out of him ten times."

Not far away, a woman of the Weisi tribe wearing a red cloak greeted her, and she also made the same military salute, and looked left and right with her eyes, "Welcome, I am the head of the Crystal Guards, and my name is Lai Nan." I already know your situation, how long are you going to stay here? ”

"A day at most, thank you." Cole also bowed politely, "We'll leave tomorrow at the earliest." ”

"But don't you two little ones have anyone else with you?" Lai Nan shook his head: "This is really unreassuring. ”

"This-" Cole scratched his head, "There were people, but they were moving slowly, so we got there first. Someone else should be here tonight. ”

"That's right." Lai Nan touched his chin, "I see." Please use the hotel here, and if you have any questions, just talk to the guards directly, and we will help you as much as possible. Yours - is this companion okay? Lenan looked at Luca, who was tightly covered with a hat, scarf, and goggles.

"He's fine, he's always dressed like this, it's funny, isn't it hahaha." Cole nudged Luka, and the two of them hurried into the inn.

"It's so hot that I'm going to take this broken hat off!" Luca ripped off her goggles and tried to take her hat off again.

"Alright, it looks like there should be no problem here."

"Oops, is it a guest?" There was a melodious sound of the piano at the front desk, and a woman from the Cat Secret Clan in a long skirt sat on the counter, playing the harp in her hand, "It's been a hard journey, let's eat first?" ”

Soon the kitchen man beckoned a table of roasted meats, vegetables, and hot bread, which was not hearty, but it was better than what Luca had eaten before.

"That's all—" Cole swallowed, looking at the boss, "we don't have much money on us." ”

The proprietress of the cat secret clan sat aside, holding her chin with her hands and smiling, "Who said to ask for money, let's eat." Crystal Gong has instructed all of us that although there is still a shortage of supplies, we should also provide some small help to the wandering travelers as much as possible. ”

"Wow, and this kind of good thing?" Luca threw away her hat, her ears tucked up and shook after holding back for a long time, "This bread is super delicious at first glance!" ”

"Thank you—you—boss," Cole patted Luca, who was choking on bread, and thanked the proprietress again and again.

"No, no, just call me Franca, Franka Ja Linda." Boss Franka patted Cole's head, his eyes full of love, "It's so polite, eat more, the little guy has to grow his body." ”

Cole blushed and turned his head away, and saw Luca, who was still eating Hesse, "Slow down, your food is too ugly." ”

"What do you eat elephants, I also eat dragons." Luca picked up a piece of bread and stuffed it into Cole's mouth, "I don't believe you can't stop eating it." ”

Franka put the water glass in front of the two of them, and continued to watch them eat, her eyes were like an old mother with a child, "You must be working hard, although it seems to be a little safer outside recently, but it must still be difficult for people to work hard outside." ”

Luca paused, shoved another piece of meat into her mouth, and muttered, "It's a nice place, and there's free goodies to eat - and there's no one to chase me like a dog." ”

"Huh? Why should I chase you? You are such a sweet little fellow. Franca tilted her head in confusion, "Did anyone bully you?" ”

Luca didn't answer, just lowered her head and continued to eat.

"Ahh Won't let him be bullied. ”

"It's reliable." Franka complimented Cole, "You are such a smart and polite little fellow, why don't you stay with me and take care of the inn?" ”

"No-" Luca looked up suddenly, "he's me—ahem, he and I have something to do." ”

Franka giggled and touched Luca's head again, "Are you awake?" ”

Luca gave Cole a blank look, wiped her mouth and stood up.

"The room is on the right side of the innermost part."

"Hey, I haven't asked yet."

"Okay, okay, let's go rest when you're full. Oh, I haven't brought back the grapes outside, so I'll take my leave. Franka shoved two more loaves of bread into Cole's hand, "Eat more to get higher." After saying that, he jumped out the door.

Luca walked towards the room, but the afterglow fell on the empty counter, bags of gold coins stuffed in the half-open drawer at random, Luca blinked, and swallowed again. Cole also realizes that something is wrong, and throws the bread in his hand and smashes it on Luca's head.

"What do you see, if you don't even let go of this boss, I will ignore you for the rest of my life."
