Chapter 224: A gunshot wound in the back
Ivast confirmed, and found that it was not the front desk guy who fooled himself - there was really no hot water in this room.
Not only is there no hot water, but it is not even possible to boil water. There was no stove in this room, and there was no place to take a bath.
…… After all, it was Avalon sixty years ago, and it is reasonable.
Judging by the fact that hot dishes can be served here, at least the kitchen can still boil water. It's just that they don't offer ...... to guests Most likely, it is still burning firewood.
Ivas was keenly aware of what Queen Sophia had done—without the spread of alchemy, the equipment in the rural areas of Avalon would have been no different from that of the Middle Ages.
No lights, no telephones, no hot water...... There is not even a gas stove in the guest room. The price of the fireplace will not come down at all.
Thankfully, the body used by Ivas was sturdy, and they wouldn't be spending the night. That's why you don't have to think about colds and fevers.
Good thing there were indeed clean towels in the room.
Ivas tried, wanting to use illumination to help Daiya heal her body.
Sure enough...... Wei Zhe's ritual was indeed demanding, and Ivas couldn't even use the illumination technique. In other words, he has no mana in his body.
…… Tut.
Also, if he could use illumination, the quest wouldn't have required him to find medicine.
But Ivas didn't panic. He had not yet acquired supernatural abilities, and he had not yet been in the habit of relying too much on supernatural abilities.
Unlike those who have become accustomed to the existence of supernatural abilities, this may be Ivus's strength.
He first helped his "daughter" Daiya dry her hair, and let the sleepy and listless girl rest in the quilt first. Then he wiped his body again, and wiped the water from his hair. Then he put on his underwear.
- He had checked it when he entered the house before, and there were no pajamas in this room either.
"What the hell is this inn for, what is it......"
Ivus complained, not even drinking hot water—instead finding a barrel of low-alcohol wine.
This surprised Ivace.
He twisted the hamper, took himself a glass of wine, and drank it all.
Ivus smacked his lips.
Surprisingly, even in terms of the aesthetic of Ivas's food, the wine tasted pretty good - it was already the best of the best in terms of the poor service provided by the inn.
"Let's just deal with it first."
Ivus made up his mind.
He drank two more glasses in a row, feeling his body slowly warm up. Although he knew that it was actually an illusion caused by alcohol, at least he was in better spirits - he hadn't drunk water for a long time, and his throat was dry. It is better to quench your thirst with low-alcohol alcohol than to drink raw water directly.
He hesitated, not knowing whether to feed Daiya some wine.
But he quickly dismissed the idea.
Just ask the front desk for hot soup. And I might be able to leave this level soon......
But if you want to go out, you still have to find some clothes.
“…… Do I have to wear this? ”
Ivas frowned, looking at his soaked coat and feeling a little big.
He glanced at Agni's travel bag. It was similarly wet from the rain and didn't know what was inside.
It stands to reason that no one should bring a change of clothes with them on a same-day trip...... But let's take a look first.
But when he opened the travel bag, he was surprised to find that there was actually a set of folded clothes in it.
There are shirts, there are sweaters. The styles are very exquisite, and the materials are also good.
Because of the stacking, the edges are a little wet, but it's better than the body. At least it shouldn't be a problem to wear it close to the body.
“…… Well? ”
But when Ivus unfolded his clothes, he noticed an anomaly.
I saw that there was a little blood stained in the middle of the back of the two clothes—and there was a small hole.
Eivas reached out and touched it, placing his finger in front of him. A touch of red is clearly visible on his fingertips.
I don't know if it's because the rain has wet the travel bag, but the blood looks a little wet.
Washton became serious and reached for his back. only to find that his back was intact and not injured.
"So ......"
Ivus muttered under his breath, turning his duffel bag upside down. Sprinkle everything inside.
There are also folded pants in the bag, which look the same as the coat he protected Daiya before; There was also a large envelope, from which stacks of brand-new white crown coins leaked out; There is a silver pocket watch and the style is beautiful.
Ivas snapped his pocket watch open.
The hand points to 5:11.
It must have been five o'clock in the afternoon, Ivas thought to himself.
And, if that's the case......
Ivus rummaged carefully in his bag. A gun quickly shook out from inside the folded pants.
…… Really.
He put on his clothes and pants first, and breathed a sigh of relief when he felt the gradual warming of his body. Sit down and start working on the gun.
It was a rather elaborate revolver with a load of five rounds. The grip of the shell is also partially decorated with silver carvings with fine Elven runes.
In his dream, Ivus couldn't exhale his own panel and couldn't see the equipment attributes. He also didn't know much about alchemy. But Ivus looked at it roughly with his knowledge of ritual and demonology, and could barely make a judgment...... It appears to be a specially made firearm used to hunt demons. It deals more damage to dark illusions.
How can a teacher have such a thing?
He swung the wheel to the left, and found that one of the bullets had been fired, leaving a disc-shaped brass residue behind.
Ivas was thoughtful, spinning the wheel one by one. At the same time, fall into thinking.
“…… Remembering who you really are. ”
Ivas remembered the task of [the real me], and his brow furrowed slightly.
My memory...... No, should I say that there is something wrong with Agni's memory?
He stared at the gun in his hand, and suddenly heard a very soft voice from behind him: "Dad......?"
“…… Why don't you get dressed? ”
Ivus turned his head and pinned the pistol to his waist.
I saw that Dai Ya had opened her eyes, shrunk into the quilt and looked at herself.
It was a little girl with delicate soft brown hair and blue eyes. Timid, it's cute to look at.
He said softly, "Are you comfortable, Daya?" ”
"Hmm. It doesn't hurt so much......"
The girl said timidly.
"I still have to take a break. Don't get out of bed, I'll get you some hot soup. ”
Ivus said, putting his changed clothes into his bag. He shook his leather coat vigorously, shaking the water off the ground. Then he put on his coat, covered the hole in his back, and hid the gun at his waist.
Ivus then pushed the door open and left the room.
At this time, it seems that there are already a lot of people at the hotel. When he went out, he saw that there seemed to be someone arguing next door...... They were even arguing with the door open, and a young woman was standing in the doorway, arguing with the people in the house.
They saw Ivas push the door open, and the argument ended instantly.
The woman looked at Ivus warily and distantly, and immediately entered the room, closing the door and locking it.
Ivus raised an eyebrow, not saying a word.
He stood quietly in the doorway and listened for a moment, his tall body casting a shadow of silence. As a result, there was no sound in the room, not even whispering.
- Interesting.
Ivus grinned, sneering silently. Then Dafang walked downstairs.
