Chapter 11: Beautiful Boy?
What happened far away in the imperial capital, Lianhua and Liao in the small inn in Ryan Town now have no way of knowing, and they are now arguing over whether to open one room or two rooms. Lianhua wants to open 2 rooms for one person, and Liao wants to open 1 room. In the end, under the nonsense of Li Ao, Lianhua could only be defeated, but she still insisted on 1 room and 2 beds. Of course, it was Lianhua who paid the money, and Li Ao had a treacherous expression on the side.
After so many days of hard work, I can finally rest and rest.
"Whew~ It's so comfortable!" Li Ao, who had finished taking a bath, walked to the bed, jumped up, leaned back, and fell heavily on the bed, but fortunately, the quality of the bed was good, and he caught him steadily.
"Tell me where you're going. Lianhua, who had finished taking a bath early, was leaning on the bed, and asked when she saw Liao coming out of the bath.
"Hey, I didn't think you'd ask that question first. Li Ao adjusted his posture and rested his head comfortably on the bed, looking at Lianhua with a smile on his side.
"You can plan ahead. ”
"Well, let me think about it, it seems to be called Ghost Town! How about Ghost Town! Are you afraid?" As soon as he said about Ghost Town, Liao immediately changed his mysterious expression.
"Sbom Town?" Hearing Li Ao's answer, Lianhua was actually surprised.
"Well, sure enough, you know. ”
Sbohm: In the early days of the empire, there was a terrible plague in Sbom Town, which consumed almost all the lives there, and those who survived the plague did not want to live there anymore. No one in the empire wanted to take over this place, and over time, it became a three-way area. Until more than a hundred years ago, an alchemist organization and several merchant organizations settled there, and started trading there on the black market, and the annual tax revenue was quite considerable, and the empire turned a blind eye. After more than 100 years of development, it has become well-known and large-scale. Because it is a black market business, most of them are a little unsightly, and the name "ghost town" has been used to this day.
"I've been. Lianhua ignored Li Ao's various expressions and turned to look at the moon outside the window.
"How's it going? Is it fun over there? I want to get over there and have a look. As soon as he heard that Lianhua had been there, Li Ao became energetic and sat up from the bed at once.
"It's a mixed bag. "Very simple evaluation.
"Isn't that interesting?"
"Wait. Lianhua suddenly thought of a question and rolled over and got out of bed. For the convenience of all kinds of travelers, inns usually equip each room with an imperial map. Lianhua took out the map and looked at it carefully.
"Oh, what's wrong?" the curious baby Li Ao also came over.
"It's here to go to Ghost Town, and the other way is fine, just through the Wailing Swamp. Lianhua carefully studied the map.
"What's wrong with the Wailing Swamp?"
"There are monsters in this area. Lianhua explained simply.
"Warcraft? hee-hee, I'm really looking forward to it. ”
“...”
"I haven't taught Warcraft yet!" Hearing about Warcraft, Liao suddenly became energetic.
Lianhua continued to study the map, ignoring the excited Riao.
Warcraft: Beasts with intelligence are known as Warcraft. Warcraft usually have some of their own unique skills, and some Warcraft will evolve themselves according to certain conditions. So they are more powerful and more dangerous than the beasts. However, monsters usually have their own fixed habitat, and they will not leave their habitat unless they are tamed or have a contract with a magician.
After studying the map for a while, Lianhua went to bed, no matter what Li Ao said, he just ignored him. After a while, it was probably sleepy, or it was possible that a person was a little bored talking, and Liao also lay down and fell asleep after a while. In fact, Lianhua didn't fall asleep, lying on the bed looking at the moon outside the window, thinking about something.
And so the night passed.
The next morning, the sun had just risen, and there were few pedestrians on the road. Lianhua and Li Ao arrived at the mercenary hall early, and the mercenary hall was also deserted at this time. Lianhua and Liao casually found a place in the rest area and ordered 3 light meals, 2 for Liao and 1 for Lianhua, which was considered breakfast.
"I said, did you deliberately ignore me last night?" For Lianhua ignoring him last night, Li Ao has been angry. Poor sandwich became the object of venting.
"You're too long-winded. Lianhua casually picked up a glass of milk on the side and took a sip.
"Hahaha, you'll get used to it. After listening to Lianhua's words, Liao was not angry.
“...”
"After eating, I'll go to the bulletin board to take a look, do you want to be together?" After quickly eliminating the two light meals, Li Ao got up and walked towards the bulletin board, and did not forget to send an invitation to Lianhua.
"Nope. Lianhua refused Li Ao's invitation, leaned back one after another, her feet were comfortably on the table, her eyes were closed, and she took advantage of Li Ao's absence to rest.
Time passed little by little, and the number of people in the mercenary hall began to increase. As soon as there are many people, it starts to be lively. The noisy sound was also so noisy that Lianhua couldn't rest, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that Liao was still watching the task on the side of the bulletin board, talking to the mercenaries on the side from time to time. I looked at the clock on the wall, and it was already half past nine.
As soon as Lianhua got up and was about to move her muscles, she saw Duck walk into the mercenary hall with a person. Duck also saw Lianhua standing in the rest area at a glance, and walked over quickly. Li Ao, who was looking at the bulletin board, had actually been paying attention to the situation at the door, and when he saw Duck coming in, he no longer cared about the bulletin board, and turned around to make peace with Lianhua. It's just that the man who followed Duck was a little strange, wearing a wide cloak and a hat on his head, and he couldn't see his face and body clearly, so he couldn't be sure if it was Lucy.
"I've kept you waiting, hahaha. How was your rest last night?" Darker looked at Lianhua and Liao with an apologetic face, and said some daily greetings.
"Good morning!" the one who came with Dark, and the voice was Lucy.
"Morning, I slept well yesterday, didn't I, Hua. But then again, Lucy, what are you doing? Why are you dressed like this!" Rio replied with his daily greeting in his mouth, his eyes staring curiously at Lucy in his cloak.
"No, nothing!" As if afraid of being seen through by Liao, Lucy subconsciously pulled his cloak.
"It's weird. "Curious baby Li Ao online. Lianhua also looked at Lucy with a puzzled expression.
"Hahaha, in this case, let's go upstairs and find a room to talk about things. "At the critical time, it was Duck who came out to play the round.
"Well, well, it's important to get down to business. Although Li Ao said this, his eyes were still like radar, scanning Lucy up and down.
"Let's go. Lianhua got up and walked away first.
Later, Duck approached the staff of the Mercenary Pavilion and asked for a meeting room under the pretext that he was about to issue a mission. The efficiency of the mercenary hall has always been very high, and after a while, the four of them were led to an empty reception room.
"Look at this contract. As soon as he entered the reception room and sat down, Duck took out two copies of the contract he had drawn up last night and handed them to Lianhua and Liao Ao. "If that's fine, just sign your name below, mine is already signed. ”
The content of the contract is roughly to escort Luxi safely to the imperial capital within the specified time, and reward 1 person with 5,000 gold coins. The two of them read the contract carefully, and they all felt that there was no problem, so they signed their names.
The contract also needs to be certified by the mercenary hall to take effect, and Duck still has a task to release, so with 2 signed contracts, he got up and said goodbye to everyone, found the staff of the mercenary hall, and released the task. Dark, who walked to the door, didn't forget to glance back at Lucy and nodded.
Seeing Duck go out, Rio, who had endured it for a long time, just wanted to ask a question, but Lucy stood up and took off the hat that covered his face and the wide cloak on his body. With curly waist-length blond hair, smart eyes, and a delicate and beautiful face, she is dressed in gorgeous aristocratic women's clothes.
Lucie, dressed in women's clothes, looked at Lianhua and Liao with a smile on her face, and took a step forward, "Hello, my name is Lucy, it's a pleasure to meet you, please take care of me." ”
Then, Lianhua and Liao were as if they had been "petrified".
