As Androcles passed by rows of small round stone houses, he began to associate them with the entire Celtals, and hundreds of idle inhabitants looked at him with interest. And it's not just knee-high people and the elderly; Healthy, strong men and women sit there chatting boredly, while their children run around uncontrollably. The only explanation Anchors could think of was that no one was allowed to go out, and there were so many people inside that everyone was too busy.

However, the interior of the town is bigger than it seems; It took him a long time to cross the river and find the inn that the guards called a good hotel. As the man said, it really does stand out from everything here, and not just because of its green gates. It was the only square building he had ever seen, solemn and proud, built of flat stone, with a second floor as complete as a manor in the Glory District. These lacquered planks look well-made and waterproof, although they are not the hardened clay one would expect. The only thing it lacks is paint on the front of the stone, or at least clean stucco. All in all, he was glad to have found such an unexpected outpost of true civilization.

As soon as he entered, the spacious and inviting common room immediately reminded him of his city and hometown. The lighting was bright and warm, and the fire in the central fireplace was strong, making the room cosy and inviting. Sturdy, well-made tables and chairs are neatly arranged in the common room. Near one corner, there is an area where around a shorter table is placed suitable sofas for people to lie down while eating, waiting for civilized people to come and live.

The fairy screamed in surprise and immediately began to fly around the room, observing everything more closely. The six or seven patrons in the room gasped in surprise and looked at him with their mouths open; A man spills his drink on his dinner and doesn't even care. Of course, Gabi still did not react.

A confident, friendly voice said, "Master, I think you want to take a bath, right?" You look like a glorious old philosopher. For just one silver coin, I can have the servant bathe you and take good care of you. ”

Androcles turned around and saw a solemn and handsome woman walking towards him. She wore a long light-colored linen dress with bright red cloth embroidered on the edges. Her shiny, oiled hair was curled up and enclosed in a silver net. A

Okles thought it would be expensive to stay here, and frankly, it was perfect.

"Yes, tell your master that both this girl and I are to take a bath with water and oil at once, and I will wash my spear clean. I'm not sure about the fairy, but he's not very big, so don't worry about him. While we were cleaning, I wanted to find a big bowl of hot food waiting for me, and a jug of mixed wine. I would also like a room with a good bed, upstairs with a window, if you have one. Take care of my needs, and I will pay your master well. He said it was a pleasure to be with civilized people. He shook the money bag from his robe and asked her to hear what it contained.

She nodded gracefully and said, "I am the master here, and I am honored to have you." I'm Gotzo

e。 May I tell my servant your name?"

He blinked in surprise, but he didn't think it was too strange. If the Celtars let their women dig in the ground, there would be no reason not to take care of the inn. The widows of Dikaian were allowed to keep their property, but they usually bought slaves instead of working on their own. "I am Andlos the Giant Slayer, the son of Paramonos of Dikaya. Remember the name. Someday, you'll tell your grandchildren that I lived here. ”

"Of course, Master Andlox. Do fairies want a bed too? Or is he with you and the woman?"

Thinking of this, Androxes smiled happily. "Do you have a doll bed for him?" Whether he wants it or not, I want to see him wear it. Imagine that!"

"I happen to have one thing, and if you let me see him wrapped in it, I'll give it to you for free," she said, her eyes flashing with longing and revealing her composure.

"Deal," he said.

She nodded again and said, "Please wait for my servant." I'll call them right away. With that, she bowed politely and left. As she walked deeper into the building, he heard her calling the names of the servants and calling them to take care of things.

The fairy sat on his shoulder again and asked, "There is also a door in this place." Do they want to shut everyone out?"

"No, I'm sure the door is meant to keep the hot air inside. There's also the prevention of rats and dogs, and so on. ”

"What is this place for?"

"I gave them silver, and they made us sleep here, and gave us food, and whatever we wanted." He didn't know if the master had a woman for him. If she knew, he would have put Gabby somewhere. Will the little girl notice if Andlocks is in the room with a woman? It occurred to him that one day she might recover and remember the incident, and that he was responsible for ruining her by exposing her to adulthood when she was very young. She's so cute, so cute.

After a while, a young woman with shaved faces and two young men, both dressed in clean light-colored woollen tunics, arrived, leading him and Galby through the common room and into a garden surrounded by buildings. Androx wondered, through the room at the end, if there was a woman's garden in the distance; The women of Decayenne, like most other glorious women, usually had their own dwellings to keep the men out. But there are women everywhere, so that may not be the case.

As the seasons go by, the garden itself fades. Some of the trees Andros didn't recognize, the stone sidewalks were littered with colorful red and yellow leaves, and with a wall to block the wind, it seemed warmer here than outside the town.

The servants led him and Galby through the garden to a small but not crowded bathhouse, where two stools awaited them. Young man takes care of A

okles, while the woman takes care of Ga

bi, that's appropriate. The servants deftly undressed their guests and set them aside to be washed. They placed Androx's coin purse next to the fragments of his robes for him to see. Then the servants sat them down, poured water over their hair and bodies from a heated metal basin, and did their best to wash off the dirtiest dirt. They untied Andlox's braids, combed them and carefully rinsed them little by little.

Okles found himself more content and relaxed than he had been for months. He was treated like an aristocrat, which reminded him of his childhood; Before his father committed suicide, he had servants bathe him almost every day. This rarely happens in the troops, and Della never lets her maid do this when she returns home at the end of the war season, but it's an unforgettable pleasure. It brought back the best parts of his life and warmed some cold places in his heart.

Luckily, Ga

BI did not react negatively to being washed and cared for. She sat passively and stood, listening to the maid's gentle nudges and whispers. She still seemed distracted, but in Androx's eyes, something seemed comforting to her as she began to clean up.

Wolf Scar sat on a chair that no one had used, looking curiously. A few times, he flew over to check the process and noticed Ga with curiosity

Bi's hair changed color when washed. It turned out that the girl's hair was whiter than Andlocks had imagined; In the cave, he thought the soil was light brown, but it turned out to be even lighter than light brown, like a golden wheat field. The maid cooed at it, wolf sca

Enthusiastically agreed.

After thoroughly scrubbing Ankolos and Gabi with warm water and a rag, the servants applied a layer of sesame oil from head to toe and wiped off the remaining dirt with smooth pumice stones. After that, they gently scraped everything off with a sharp spatula, leaving two perfect cleans. Then the servants oiled their hair, rubbed it in, and squeezed out most of it. Finally, they braided the guests' hair and dressed them in comfortable woollen tunics for them to wear while doing laundry.

When everything was over, Wolf Scar embarrassedly asked, "When will it be my turn?"

The dwarf asked, "Do you want one too?" I think it's now. Which of you wants to do it?" The two young men looked nervous, and the young woman was eager, so he chose her. She turned the bucket over a narrow table beside her, sat the fairy on it, and carefully did the same to him, and everyone watched with interest. Except, of course, Gabby, who stared blankly in the direction of the wall.

When the maid poured some water on the wolf's scarred wings, he shivered uncomfortably, shook his wings, and shook the water off. Then he patted his chin thoughtfully and said, "Wait a minute." He closed his eyes, clenched his fists, and after a second, his wings were completely gone, and his back was smooth as if it had never been there.

"I didn't know I could do it," he said with a proud smile.

Because the fairy was smaller than the average doll, it was quite difficult to wash him, but this young woman was undaunted and very gentle, not to mention dexterous, she washed between his toes and fingers. Wolf sca

Keeping quiet and still, this is A

Okles didn't know the two things he would do, with a lazy half-smile on his face, purely relaxed and content. The fairy clearly likes to be pampered - perhaps he is more like a normal boy than he looks. When the service was finished, the woman brought a clean handkerchief and wrapped it around Samson as a cloak.

The fairy smiled from ear to ear, revealing her sharp teeth. He clutched his new cloak in both hands and spun around.

"Thank you! He said sincerely. Then he said, "Look, princess, I have this garment to wear!" This is my first dress. I also took a shower! Now we're all clean. She didn't respond, he was just a little disappointed. He got used to it.

A

Okles picked up the fairy and pulled Ga

Bi's hand, the servants led them back to the common room, where they lay on the couch, where a plate of roasted vegetables and pieces of meat awaited them, steaming hot and fragrant.

Unsurprisingly, A

d

News of Okles spread, and the inn was filled with people, each chair and bench filled with a curious customer. The innkeeper seemed a little anxious, but she remained polite and calm as she supervised a small group of servants. Androx noticed that not all of them seemed to be experienced, as they had wine and food all over the room; Undoubtedly, when she realized that so many people were coming, she quickly recruited some local young people to take her place.

Andrew relaxes and eats slowly, showing a laid-back look for everyone to remember. He had to hand every bite to Gabi because she didn't eat it herself. With her head down and her arms at her sides, Anchors wondered if she was aware of what was going on and just wouldn't or couldn't react.

Wolf sca

Tasted everything. At first, he tried to pick up a large piece of yellow vegetable, possibly a pumpkin, and when his hand was too hot, he yelled. Then, cautiously, he leaned down, without his hands, taking a small bite from each bite of food. A

d

okles aren't sure if this is really safer, but it looks interesting. The fairy didn't let his wings grow back either. He was still playing with his cloak as he whipped it hard every time he turned around.

A young man came over, knelt in front of them, and took out a spear. He covered his hands with a cloth to prevent fingerprints from being left, which shows that his attention to detail is impressive. "Young Master Andlox, according to your orders, it has been cleaned up."

He sat up and picked it up. He looked at it and said, "Great." He leaned the spear against the head of the couch so it wouldn't fall over, and continued to eat.

However, the young man did not leave immediately; He looked at the ground and humbly asked, "Mr. Andrakles, please forgive your servant, but everyone wants to know: did you kill the Tatars with that spear?" Is it really dead?"

"Oh, then you heard?" This is the spear, and Tatalor is dead. The crowd applauded and cheered. It's not as deafening as it is in the arena, but it's still a heartwarming sound.

Wolf Scar looked around in surprise, his cheeks bulging from the food. He looked at Androx, then jumped into the air and fell face to the ground. A

Okles picked him up and placed him on his shoulder. The fairy swallowed hard and said into his ear, "I forgot that I lost my wings." What are they doing?"

"That's what humans do when they're impressed, they clap their hands and sometimes they shout. All of them were impressed that I killed the cyclops," he replied.

When the cheers subsided, the fairy thought for a moment.

"I want my wings back, but then I'll have to take this off, and then I won't have any clothes to wear, everyone else does, so I guess I should do the same."

A

d

Okles snapped out to the valet who was waiting beside him, "Go and tell your master that I want the softest and thinnest cloth she can find, about the size of that handkerchief, and of a beautiful color." I also need a pair of scissors or a sharp knife, as well as a needle and a thread. "The young man leaves to find what he wants.

Someone in the crowd asked, "Master, we want you to tell us about your battle with Tatalor."

"I will, as soon as the young man comes back. I'm going to make a beautiful robe for my little friend so he doesn't have to fly around naked. He wasn't sure if the fairy was really his, as he didn't rely on the fairy, but it didn't hurt to let him dress up, especially since it might affect Androl. It will also delight the fairies, and in addition to this, all the barbarians watching should learn how to make them.

The fairy patted him on the cheek excitedly and said, "You want to make me a robe?" What is a robe? Is that what I'm wearing?"

"Just like what I wore before. Don't fall from above, little one. But first," he said to the crowd, "I want to ask if anyone has ever seen or heard of a woman named Della." She was probably this tall, red-haired, white-skinned. She has a pointed nose and freckles, and her eyes are green if viewed in bright light. She, like me, was a traveler from the Glorious Country. She was accompanied by four bodyguards. It is possible that only her guards entered the city. Maybe just one or two, you can buy supplies. ”

After a while, apparently no one was willing to answer, and Andox frowned in disappointment.

Someone in the crowd asked, "I haven't seen her, master, but does the fairy want some wine?" I've got some here if he's willing. ”

Andlocks looked at the man who gave him the money, trying to read his expression. Then he said, "Maybe later." He needed two hands to close the cloak. Many snickered at this.

The young man returned and handed over the finest linen to A

d

Okles, the linen was dyed a pale blue that almost matched the fairy's skin, and placed the tools he asked for on the table. He nodded his head to show satisfaction with the cloth. Then he spread the robe on the table and let the fairy lie on it, and he stretched out his arms to measure it, and began to make the robe, and everything he did was evident so that everyone could see it.

As he sewed, he told them every detail of his battle with the Cyclops, and since he had already won, there was no need to hide anything. He recounts his attempts to hide and warn the young man, his experience of being caught but surviving, the discovery of Galby and the wolf scar in the cave, and his battle in the grass, with heroic details. The only detail he hides is the exact location where he stabbed the cyclops, and he doesn't want the story to end in a comical way. Some of them looked around nervously when he admitted that it was still alive when he left, but no one questioned that it was definitely dead.

None of them knew who the young man with the spear of Androcles was, nor did they know who his daughter Gabi was. Kelthes' hair and eyes are black, while Galby is not; If she's a local, she should be easily recognizable. He suspected that he would never be able to figure out where the Cyclops had wandered in from until the Cyclops had captured her.

With such a large crowd staring at him, he felt that now was the best time, so he said, "I can't stay here too long, I can't take care of this girl." I have to keep my vows, so I have to leave as soon as possible. Someone is willing to take in little Ga

BI? I don't have a gift to leave her, but her courage should be enough. Outwitting the Cyclops girl will bring honor to any family, and her fame should outweigh any possible dowry. ”

The crowd fell silent, and they looked at each other nervously, wondering if anyone would agree. After a minute, no one stepped forward, Ann

d

Okles thought it strange because no one thought they were rich enough to feed and clothe a little girl. After all, this is not an orphan. She dodged the Cyclops.

Finally, someone said, "I have a place for her, if the fairy comes with her." He was a balding old man with a haggard face. He tried to pretend to be sympathetic, but he looked scheming. A few more people came forward and offered the following condition: "If you give her to me, I'll give you twenty dollars!" I can give you a donkey to ride!" Are they bidding? Treat fairies as prizes?

Androcles thought it was appropriate, because for all intents and purposes, Gabi was now a slave, but it was not appropriate for him. Didn't he promise to deliver her safely into the arms of someone who would take care of her? He had a feeling that the people here were only interested in fairies, and once they took the wolf sca

Coaxed into the box, she will retreat.

So he said, "Wolf sca."

Will go with me. You will only accept this girl. ”
