"What, you said there was only one room left?"

The news came to Lane when she returned to Link to find Jero, when she disposed of Yarko's body. At that time, the most popular dancer in the town was waiting in the lobby on the first floor of the inn, and when she saw her return, she quickly got up and told the news.

"The number of travelers coming and going to the town has spiked so much lately that there was really only one room left in the inn when we arrived." Jieluo said apologetically.

"Well, I didn't mean to blame you," Ryan felt a little headache, "What did Althea say?" ”

"She didn't say anything."

"Didn't say anything?"

Ryan was a little surprised.

Jieluo nodded and replied, "yes, she also said 'yes' when she heard the news, and then it was nothing." ”

"Well, at least your father did keep his promise and exempt me and her from spending the night at this inn." After hearing this, Ryan had no choice but to shrug his shoulders as if nothing happened.

Jero shook her head, saying she should be grateful to Ryan. If I hadn't met them on the road at that time, I couldn't imagine what situation I would have ended up in.

Ryan skillfully said a few polite words, and at the same time hinted that he and Althea would meet her father Geoffrey tomorrow in the hope that they could cash in the 300 gold coins they had previously said.

- And, of course, something related to the Green Forest Gang.

It's just that Ryan didn't make it clear to Jieluo at this time. It was getting late, he and Jero were tired, and Alko had been killed, and the topic would be the same for tomorrow.

"Good night, Miss Jero," Ryan shrugged, "I wish you a good night's sleep today, and I'd like to see your singing and dancing tomorrow if I have the chance." ”

Gerlo smiled and saluted Ryan, her pale yellow dress made of real yarn opening down in an arc. Of course, Jeffrey's Tavern was a serious business, so Ryan didn't see anything other than the arc.

An excellent dancer.

The thought swelled up in Ryan's mind again, she was not as dusty as the other dancers in the tavern, she looked like a very ordinary young girl. But there is a trace of "wind and dust" on her body. Maybe it's more appropriate to describe it as "professional"? But no matter what, with Jie Luo there, it's no coincidence that Jeffrey's Tavern is one of the hottest spots in town.

Jero left.

Ryan looked at the "210" room card in his hand, and vaguely felt as if he had forgotten something, but he couldn't remember it for a while, so he pouted and went upstairs.

……

But after less than two minutes or so, Ryan managed to remember what he had forgotten.

After using the key to open the door of room "210", Ryan saw that Althea was sitting on the bed reading a book, and had changed into the underwear for sleeping, and when Althea saw him enter the room, he put down the "Chronicles of Anovara" he was reading, lifted his round-rimmed glasses, and looked over with a deep expression.

At the same time, he said in a strange tone, "Ryan, you're back?" ”

"yes, I'm back," Ryan touched his nose, "you know, Althea, I don't like books, I don't like them, I don't even like them, and I even get a headache every time I see you reading." ”

Althea: "......"

"Wait for me a little bit."

After saying that, Ryan had no choice but to go back to the first floor of the hotel, ask for a futon under the stunned (gloating) gaze of the service staff, and then returned to room 210 on the second floor of the hotel.

"I thought you were nostalgic for your childhood, Ryan," Althea leaned on the bed with her hands on the bed and her feet looking for where to place her slippers, "I remember that when we first met, we often slept under a quilt. ”

"But that was a long time ago," Ryan casually threw the quilt to the ground, "by the way, aren't you curious what I was doing when I went out just now?" ”

Curious, of course, but who let you come in empty-handed...... Althea muttered in her heart, pretending to guess as if nothing had happened, "It can't have anything to do with Jieluo, right?" ”

"Unfortunately, you got it right."

Ryan moved a chair and sat down, and then told Althea all the ins and outs of the whole thing and the next steps, "What do you think? ”

Aside from the fact that Jie Luo had already been targeted, Ryan didn't get any useful information from Alco. He's a pretty good guy, both for his loyalty to the Greenwood gang and for his subordinates. It's a pity that because the two sides chose different paths, in order to avoid some unnecessary troubles, Ryan could only send him away from this world forever.

And then it begs another question – what to do next.

It is to tell Geoffrey and Jieluo the news, let them be careful and it is best to send the local security team to deal with the problem of the Green Forest Gang, and set off directly to the next stop after doing their part; In order to avoid long nights (Yarko is the best example), work with the security team in the local town to completely clean up this trouble in the shortest possible time.

"The two methods you mentioned have their own advantages and disadvantages," Althea looked into Ryan's eyes and said seriously, "So how to do it, I listen to you." ”

"Okay," Ryan sighed softly when he heard this, "then I'll wait until I see Jeffrey's father tomorrow, and I just need to take the time to think about the specific pros and cons." ”

"Then let's rest early today," said Athea, "and I'm sure you're tired after a day's ride." ”

"It's okay," Ryan nodded, today was undoubtedly a very busy day for him, and after sitting and resting for a while, he obviously felt a little tired, "You can rest first, I will wash up briefly, and help you turn off the lights then." ”

……

After some time.

Not long after washing up and lying on the sheets, Ryan heard Athea's voice in the darkness beside him.

"Ryan?"

"Huh?"

"I knew you weren't sleeping," Althea asked pretending to be calm, "and then we haven't slept together for a long time, what do you think, don't you feel embarrassed?" ”

It's only been a minute at most, and do you know what you're talking about...... Ryan replied with a sneer, "Of course not, and we just slept in the same room, don't think too much." ”

Althea covered her head with the quilt, which made her voice sound a little strange, "Really? Well, then...... Good night. Oh, and by the way, the smell of cinnamon and lavender on your body is pretty good. ”
