Volume 2: The Game of Zero Chapter 24 Little Girl

Ning He's face was calm, and he slowly put away the papal decree, this token was no longer useful here.

Matteo looked at the silver bracelet on his left hand and said with amusement: "I'm curious why a stranger would have a papal decree and not steal it." ”

As soon as the words fell, several surrounding city guard soldiers had already surrounded Ning He, and the spears in their hands were aimed at him, showing unkindness.

"If I hadn't shown up in the diocese the day after tomorrow, Pope Sid would have been angry." Ning He replied lightly, without the slightest fear in the face of this group of city guards.

"Oh-the day after tomorrow?" Matteo touched his chin, "So you're the one the church hired to participate in the Rose Showdown, hehe." ”

Ning He looked at him quietly, "What's the matter." ”

"Where did you come from, go back. I'll let you go today, anyway, there is no difference between you dying now and dying the day after tomorrow. ”

Mateo smiled contemptuously at him, and turned to walk deeper into the forest.

The city guards who were cleaning the battlefield around them also quickly closed their teams, after all, there was nothing to clean, they only needed to recover the fallen weapons and rifles, and there was nothing left on the whole road, as if nothing had happened before.

Ning He stopped in front of the dense forest, what was in the dense forest, what the players who had stood here were for, why they came here, he didn't know anything. He could vaguely feel a great conspiracy brewing in the sky above Zegar, but he couldn't do anything.

World No. 1 is constantly moving, and it doesn't stop for more than peace.

"Your Excellency?" Laron Denton, the head of the guard, approached from behind, and he greeted softly, "We're going back to Zegar now, you?" ”

"Let's go together, there's nothing for me here."

"Oh." Laron was a little regretful, but he still didn't stop the massacre after all, and the back of the church lord in front of him was a little gloomy at this time, and he didn't know what he had just talked about with Matteo, the third commander of the city guard. He saw it from a distance just now, but he didn't dare to come closer, and only after Matteo had left did he come over to say hello.

When Ning He entered the city again, the sun had already set, and after entering the city, he took the initiative to separate from Lalon.

The streets of Zegar are still bustling with activity, with a variety of intricate decorations and exotic buildings that will keep players coming back to World One for the first time.

Ning He seemed to be walking leisurely, and his spiritual vision state was never lifted. He could feel that as soon as he stepped into the gate of Zegar, several lines of sight around him were fixed again, and he turned three blocks away, none of which were gone.

It turned out that it wasn't because of the incident he had in the city, Ning He was a little disappointed, if it was because of this incident, the papal decree that he had just entered the guard was enough to make the city guard's watchdog retreat. However, he was watched again after leaving the city and entering the city, I am afraid that it could only be because of one thing... Rose Showdown.

The duel between the two most powerful figures in the Kingdom of Io, he seems to be regarded as a pawn of Pope Sid, and those watchers in the shadows are all neutral or kingship, and of course, it is not excluded that people from the clergy are interested in him.

The corners of Ning He's mouth were wide, and he closed his eyes with a slight pause, followed by a wave of exhaustion from the bottom of his heart, and he withdrew from the state of spiritual vision.

Take things as they come.

He walked into a lodging hotel on the side of the street, took out a silver coin from a bag on his body with his left hand, and handed it to the counter.

"I want a room."

There were no silver coins at the counter, and he shook his head, "Outlanders are not welcome here. ”

Ning He looked at his serious expression, nodded and turned to push the door out.

Zegar is the royal capital, there are many hotels, and there are many related signboards hanging on both sides of the street where Ninghe walks.

Soon he pushed open the door of the second inn, this time again with a silver coin from his left hand, and received the same reply. It's just that compared to the previous one, the temper of the counter in this house is not very good, and after seeing the silver bracelet Ning He was wearing, his nose turned to the sky and knocked off Ning He's outstretched hand.

The third one, too.

On the fourth, he changed to his right hand and handed out the silver coin. The counter is a very young girl, eating some snacks, it seems that she is not a special counter clerk.

The little girl stood behind the counter and took the silver coin with both hands, and asked with a playful smile, "How long are you going to stay?" We're here for forty copper coins a night, and you'll be able to stay for many, many nights. ”

Ning He was stunned when he heard this, and he quietly glanced at the money bag that the church gave him, and there were many silver coins with a silver-white glow lying inside, and even orange and gold coins buried underneath.

"Where's this?" Ning He took out a gold coin and placed it on the counter.

The little girl at the counter was startled when she saw it, and she hurriedly covered the gold coin with both hands.

Ning He's brows furrowed slightly.

"How can you just take out the gold coins?" The little girl looked carefully at the hall, where there were several tables for the guests to eat, and there were two tables of people at the dinner table, and no one noticed what was happening at the counter.

Ning He asked quietly, "Is there any problem?" ”

The little girl put the gold coin in her hand and returned it to Ning He, with a hint of envy in her tone: "That's a gold coin, one gold coin can be exchanged for a thousand silver coins!" My mom and dad work all their lives, and they don't necessarily have a ......."

"Is that so?" Ning He looked at the gold and silver glittering money bag, noncommittal.

He put the gold coin back in his pocket and said with a smile: "Let's put it here with you for the time being, when I check out one day, I will settle the settlement, remember to remind me if it is not enough." ”

"Enough, enough." The little girl put away the silver coin, the chick nodded again and again as if pecking rice, she put her head down, rummaged in the counter for a while, took out a wooden sign and key tied to a red rope, and held it to Ning He. "Well, here's your room number and key, our rooms are all the same configuration. I've already checked you in, when are you leaving, just come to the front desk to check out and check. ”

Ning He took the red string with his left hand.

With that, the little girl jumped down. Ning He leaned forward slightly, and saw her sitting on a chair behind the counter, eating some kind of small green fruit, while reading some kind of book by the light.

"Huh?" The light was blocked, she looked up at Ning He, first tilted her head and thought about it, and then wondered, "Is there anything else about the guest?" ”

"Nope." Ning He shook his head, "I'm just curious about how you are so young to be a counter here, don't you go to school?" ”

"This... Since school was closed, my parents asked me to sit at the front desk so they could do something else. My father also said that there have been a lot of strangers in the city recently, and it is a good opportunity to make a fortune. ”

"Huh?"

The little girl shook her head and sent a green fruit to her mouth, muttering: "The hotel association in the city prohibits strangers from staying, and families like us don't have to worry about this, anyway, they look down on us... When you get rich in the future, you must make them look good! ”

The little girl said that she swung two punches at Ning He in the back, and her eyes lit up.

Ning He saw that the little girl's immature hands were two handfuls of green fruits: "Do you want to have some?" ”

Ning He stared at the little girl's sparkling eyes for two seconds, smiled, and said, "Okay." He took two handfuls of green fruits, turned around and went down the corridor to find his room.

The little girl stood on tiptoe and watched Ning Peace's departure, sly smiling. Dad often said that he should have a good relationship with the guests, so that he can develop repeat customers, he is so cute, it is perfect to be received at the counter! A small family-style shop like theirs has no advantage in itself, and what can survive is the return customers and new customers brought by the old customers.

"Humph! This princess is out of the horse, isn't this another potential repeat customer! ”

The little girl sat down proudly and continued to read a book while eating green fruits. The world in the book is just right, there are princes and princesses, and they can live happily in the big castle.

Thinking of this, the little girl unconsciously felt a little sad, revealing a sad brow that she should not have at her age. She has her hands on her cheeks, the reality is really boring, she is not a princess, and she has no prince.

But soon, a little of her sorrow was thrown away without a trace, just because the story in her hand was too exciting, and she was fascinated.

"Squeak—"

The thick wooden door made a string of screeching sounds, and Ning He pushed open the door and walked in.

The room is small, with a double bed and a set of tables, chairs and benches in front of the square lattice window.

"Whew!"

Ning He was lying on the bed, and the two handfuls of green fruits were placed on the wooden table in front of the window by him, and they did not move.

He looked at the wooden roof, which he had slept in for the first time in days. The town of White Lamb was not close to Zegar in the heart of the kingdom, and they were able to come there in just a few days, almost all the way around the day and night, and the horses and food and lodging supplies along the way were provided by the Church of Light in the cities along the way, without stopping in a single city.

Had it not been for the Bishop Tsuyama who had given them a good night's sleep the night before he arrived, he would have had to find a room to lie down after meeting the Empress Sid.

After several days of running around and the continuous use of spiritual vision today, Ning He's eyes were tired, and after a while, he gradually closed and fell asleep.

When he opened his eyes again that day, the intense hunger in his stomach made him struggle to sit up. Through the four-panel windows, a dim light from outside flooded the room.

"Morning?"

Ning He shook his head, got up and cleaned himself up casually, and then pushed the door and walked to the hall, he wanted to find something to eat.

"Early." Ning He saw the little girl who was still reading intently at the counter from the side, and beckoned.

"Early?" The little girl looked up, she looked in the direction of the gate, and muttered, "Isn't it already dusk?" ”

"Dusk?" Ning He frowned, he walked out of the inn in a few steps, the afterglow of the setting sun had already fallen, and the white moon hung in the air.

Ning He was a little dazed, and said to himself: "It's already dusk......"

He thought he had only slept one night, but he didn't expect it to be a day and a night.

There was a cry from his stomach, and he turned and went into the house again to the counter, and the little girl was not reading, she had expected the somewhat confused stranger to come in again.

Well, sleep in a daze.

"Are you going to dine now?"

"Clever."

"We have eight copper coins for lunch and dinner here, and three for breakfast, and I will keep it in my account every time you use it."

"Hmm."

Ning He walked to an empty table, and soon a middle-aged woman with dry hair walked out with a plate, she talked to the little girl in front of the counter, and then delivered the food to Ning He's table.

"Thank you."

"It should." Some of the haggard women shook their heads, took their plates, and turned and went back into the back room.
