"There must be an inn in such a big town, right?" the red-haired duchess gave a rare look of eagerness.

"There should be. Hede was also a little relieved that he had finally arrived here safely without any mistakes.

Towards evening, Head and the others arrived at Okemi, a newly built stronghold on the outskirts of the Golden Tomb site.

Although this stronghold only began to expand on a relatively large scale a month ago, it has always been the default stronghold for adventurers and hunters in the eastern region to settle down halfway.

Originally, this was the Okemi Alchemy Tower of the former Titan Empire, and although it was abandoned due to war, there are many stone towers and stone houses that can still accommodate it, and now the newly built stronghold is also based on these buildings that have not been weathered and collapsed for hundreds of years after being strengthened by special alchemy.

Once inside the Okmi stronghold, Hide and Des followed the impatient Wella and quickly found the only inn area in the area. It is a complex of circular stone houses, the largest of which is clearly a tavern--inn administration.

The red-haired duchess happily threw a few platinum coins at the snake man alienated proprietress behind the stone counter: "Three private rooms with bathrooms." ”

"Master Wella, there are private rooms, but there is only one public bathroom in the bathroom," the glamorous snake lady with brown braids smiled, "In addition, the price of each single room for one day is a fifth-order crystal nucleus. ”

All three, including Head, were stunned. This snake girl, who does not seem to be weak, is either a descendant of the Snekman family or a noble child of the side line, because although she does not wear a badge representing the title. But the strength is more than the sixth order, but she is just an innkeeper, and there must be something hidden in it. And the characteristics of Wella with six fighting wolves are so obvious that it is not surprising to be recognized at a glance.

But this offer is really a bit outrageous. A fifth-order crystal nucleus is worth at least six or seven hundred gold coins. If you are in Roland City, you can sell a small house in the outer city.

Wella lowered her face coldly, which meant that the red-haired duchess, who had never cared much about status and other factors, was a little angry, and she stared at the glamorous snake girl who was in a little cold sweat on her forehead for a long time before she said coldly: "It's the idea of that woman Ellatristi again, right?"

"Wella-sama, I'm sure you'll understand the value for money, and in order to welcome Vana who arrives at the Okemi stronghold for the first time, our store can take care of your long-term beast for free, what do you think?"

To be honest, this glamorous snake girl is really quite bold, knowing that there is a lord-level duke and a great nobleman standing in front of her. Sticking to principles and knowing how to be flexible, he is really a very good business person.

With a snort, Wei Na threw out five fifth-order crystal nuclei with some dissatisfaction, saying that she did not accept the free service proposed by the other party. To be honest, it's not that Miss Wella, who is a big nobleman, cares about such a small amount of money, but it makes it clear that she is being ripped off now, which really affects her mood a little.

The glamorous snake lady didn't care about wiping the cold sweat on her head, and immediately beckoned a few maids who were also giant snake-type lower bodies to lead the way to the accommodation and bathroom for the three of them, and several male servants were responsible for handling the six-legged monitor lizards that took care of the three of them, carrying luggage and other chores.

Although it was clearly slaughtered. However, the longing for hot bathing and a rare resting rest in the wilderness still made Wella's mood quickly improve, and she and Dess did not come out for a long time after entering the women's public bath, while Hide had already finished bathing and began to wander around.

"There is an exchange in such a small place. The Snakemans know a thing or two about business. Hed walked around the small stronghold, admiring the methods of the Snapman family, who claimed to be the richest in the empire.

The exchange in this stronghold can buy a lot of things, food. Props, weapons. There are even healing deals for white mages with good strength, although they are just as expensive. It's all about using the crystal nucleus as the trading currency. It is true that adventurers and hunters who go out will not carry too much of the official currency of the empire, and this place is a very important supply point in the eastern region, and now due to the discovery of the ruins of the Golden Tomb, a large number of people will definitely gather in the future to bring rolling wealth.

"Theoretically, this is also the territory of the Snekman family, and the lords and nobles of the border territory have absolute autonomy over the management of the territory, and even if they are ripped off, they can only admit it. ”

Remembering that when I entered the stronghold before, I saw a lot of elite snake-man warriors patrolling the perimeter, and the soldiers who guarded the stronghold were all over the fifth order on average, and there were a few sixth-order or even seventh-order powerhouses, which were slightly stronger than the overall strength of the West family's personal guards, and it seemed that the Snapman family was very interested in the interests of digging the Golden Tomb in the future.

Along the way, Hede also found several small groups, either civilian adventurers who came for profit, or noble guards from all over the country who came to investigate information, etc., and the attraction of the various treasures in the Golden Tomb was indeed very great. The strength of several civilian adventurer teams is not bad, with an average strength of more than the fifth order, and two team leaders have even reached the level of the sixth order.

"There are still a lot of people who like to live freely. ”

After a rough survey of the Okmi stronghold, Head returned to the large stone house at the entrance of the hotel, ordered a glass of sweet wine in the tavern area on the side, and waited for Wella and Des to return from the public bath.

Estimating that they had been in the women's public bathroom for about an hour, Head couldn't help but complain to himself that women were ridiculously slow to take a shower, and then attracted attention by a small argument near the counter.

At first, Head thought that the small team of three people over there was also a little dissatisfied with the high fees of this hotel, but he accidentally saw the short-haired female assassin who was in charge of negotiating with the beautiful snake lady The crystal nucleus in his hand couldn't help but be a little surprised, because the other party was holding a seventh-order crystal nucleus, and there were quite a few of them.

"What do you mean by having only a public bathroom? I want a room with a bathroom, although I know that this place can't have too luxurious and comfortable rooms, but at least there should be a more normal room, right?"

From the words of the little girl in the cloak, you could tell that she was very unhappy now.

"I'm sorry, young lady. It was not easy to get water, so there was no way to build more bathrooms. Thank you for your understanding. ”

The snake lady lady's posture was very low, which made Hade a little concerned. After two glances, I finally found the problem, in this small team of three, the little girl wearing a mask was probably only about ten years old, although it was not particularly unusual to have a fourth-order strength, although it was likely to be a child of a prestigious big family.

And the two men and women who were obviously the little girl's subordinates were not simple, and with Hide's eyesight, he immediately noticed that the middle-aged man was at least a ninth-order powerhouse. Although he was also wearing a hooded cloak, and he couldn't see the specific equipment and weapons clearly, the faint aura of a mixture of strange source power and magic power was really terrifying.

Another blonde woman who appears to be an assassin-type combat professional. He also wears a black mask, but he can't see the aura emanating from the source power on his body at all, after all, the assassin-type cultivation inheritance, and the hidden strength of the source power itself is the most basic. However, judging from the material of the half-cut long shoes exposed under her cloak, they were actually made of ninth-order chameleon wurm dragon skin, how could she not be strong if she could have such high-level equipment?

The only middle-aged man among the three who showed his true face whispered, "Miss Dolly, in fact, we can temporarily charter a women's public bathroom and let Elianne bathe with you." What do you think?"

"Okay. The little brunette girl replied reluctantly.

The snake lady breathed a sigh of relief, and with a smile on her face, she took a few seventh-order crystal nuclei thrown by the blonde female assassin at random, and immediately courteously exchanged the snake maid to guide the three of them.

Hade was about to withdraw his gaze from the three men, when the three turned around and prepared to go to the lodging area to rest for a while. The little black-haired girl with the mask seemed to notice Have's eyes, and she glared at Fade fiercely in an unhappy mood.

"Hmm!" Caught off guard, Hade only felt a slight shock to his head, although nothing serious. But in his heart, he was terrified, and the wooden cup he was holding in his hand fell down without holding it steadily. It fell to the ground with a snap. Then he reacted immediately, and immediately pretended to have a headache, lowered his head on the table, raised his right hand, rubbed his forehead, and blocked most of his cheeks.

I faintly heard the middle-aged man among the three people who went away say something of persuasion. And the little girl was very upset and said that a little baron was staring at me, just to teach him a little lesson, no big deal, and so on.

"The heart of the emperor inherits the spiritual shock. ”

Heide was very shocked in his heart, and only the inheritance of the emperor's heart could affect himself with the strength above the sixth order when he was only in the fourth order, of course, the injury could not hurt himself, just now it was like being gently pushed by a child, but you must know that because of his own unique cultivation inheritance, even if a spiritual black mage of the same level uses a spiritual attack, it will not have any impact on him.

"Is that little girl the real Empress of Olympus?" said to Head, "but the black hair and black eyes are a little different from the blonde and blue-eyed blood of the royal family...... Well, this can be changed by some means, Miss Dolly...... Empress Doro's ...... The Empress stationed in Roland City has suffered from a strange illness and has been recuperating for a long time, and no one has been seen ......"

After a brief analysis of all the suspicions, there is only one conclusion, the current Empress Olympus personally came to explore the Golden Tomb, it must be to find something very important, as for what it is, because there are too many treasures in the Golden Tomb, Hade is not sure, although there are vague clues.

At this time, Werner and Dess walked in, and the radiant-looking Wella said hello to Hide and turned to rest in the lodgings, and the six fighting wolves also seemed to have washed their bodies, and followed the red-haired duchess to faithfully perform their duties as guards.

However, Des noticed that Hyde's mood was a little nervous, and asked in a concerned whisper, "Mentor, is there anything wrong?"

"It's nothing, I've been tired lately, and I'm going to the Golden Tomb site tomorrow, so let's have a good rest tonight. Head shook his head slightly, got up and walked with the silver-haired female apprentice to the room before booking a haode.

"Empress Bixia...... I can't mess with you now, so I should be able to hide, right?"
