Chapter 155: Peers (Asking for Recommendations)
In the afternoon, Don and the others officially entered the city of Riva.
Each city has its own unique flavor, and the city of Riva feels like a black loaf of bread that has been left out for a long time.
The light rain of fine yarn washes away the unclean gray stone streets forever, the mixed walls seem to be soaked in the dark air, and in the corners of the walls, colorful mold is growing in the dark......
The gathering of dozens of people was still quite noticeable, so as soon as they entered the city gate, Tang En and the others inquired about the location of the timber market. Immediately, he bought some ironwood for the construction, changed into the clothes that had been prepared for the haode, and turned into a small merchant group passing by.
Cities are no better than villages, and propaganda jihua is not something that can be done overnight. Although Josia and the others had some simple arrangements when they came, everything had to be decided after observing the actual situation.
"Boss, how is this one?" the group came to a slightly remote location, and Harry pointed to the hotel road in front of him.
"You're the head of the merchant group now!" reminded Don En to roughly observe the surroundings, nodded and said, "Okay, that's it." ”
The chubby Harry in the team is most like a businessman, and although Don can also pretend to imitate, he still performs well in his true colors after all.
"Uh, I forgot ...... again" Harry scratched his head embarrassedly, then his face turned straight and raised his hand slightly, "That little guard, you go and ask if you can charter this hotel." ”
"Human-like dogs!" David glared at Harry, who was a villain, and stepped into the hotel.
The otherworldly inn is actually a complex of a tavern and a hotel. Probably because of the location, the business of this hotel is not very good, and there are only a few people in the hall. When the guests came in, no one greeted them, and the boss was lying motionless on the wine cabinet at this time, as if he was taking a nap.
"Boss, boss......"
Bang! An impatient David slapped the counter. The boss screamed, and his round body almost fell off the bench.
"Damn, you...... Belch. Welcome. "It was undoubtedly irritating to be woken up in your sleep, but the raunchy boss immediately changed his face to joy when he saw a large crowd.
"Do you want to eat, or do you want to stay?"
"Accomodation. Well, there are a lot of us, can you take this place?"
"Haha, yes. Of course you can!," exclaimed the boss, overjoyed. Blessed by the God of Light, this is a big deal.
"Uh, boss......" The waiter next to him pointed behind him and reminded him in a low voice.
"Huh?" The boss was stunned for a moment, then his face turned bitter, and he rubbed his hands and said, "I'm sorry, there are people staying in the hotel for a long time...... But that's it, and the rest of the room is enough for you. Is that okay?"
When you open the door to do business, there is naturally no reason to drive the guests outside. So after the boss finished speaking. He looked at David with a blank eye.
David looked slightly stunned, and then turned his head to look at Harry behind him.
Touching his chin, Harry seemed to be thinking, but the pair of small eyes had already skimmed to the side,
Donn withdrew his gaze from the observation hall. Bow your head slightly.
It is best to be able to wrap it up naturally, so as to prevent unnecessary trouble. But it does take a bit of luck, if it's late today, and there's only one person in the back. It's a pretty good situation.
These were only a little thought, and Donn's attention was now on the two diners in the corner of the hall. Although their every move was normal, Donn's eyes were so sharp. At a glance, I can see that these two people are martial artists, and they have a bit of a familiar taste...... Well, I hope it's passing by!
At this time, David had already negotiated the room money with the boss and explained that he would not let later travelers stay in.
The boss was full of promises, his hotel business was already very bleak, it would be good to be able to stay in a day, and now that such a large group of people live in, what is there not to be satisfied with.
"Our cargo is still outside, boss, you drive the backyard down. ”
"No problem, no problem. Why are you still stunned here, why don't you go and carry things for the guests!" the boss yelled at the two waiters beside him.
David waved his hand: "No, we'll do it ourselves." ”
The real purpose of moving goods is fake, taking the opportunity to observe the surrounding terrain and laying out improvised defenses.
"Oh, yes, yes!" As if changing his face, the boss changed into a pleasant look again. But in his heart, he was muttering, chartering a hotel, and not letting people help move things...... Of course, this thought is only fleeting, and he is a businessman, not a black shop, so he naturally doesn't care so much.
Harry nodded, and the merfolk made their way through the hall. Behind is a mid-courtyard with two rows of connected attics.
Most of the members of the gray space live on the first floor, choosing the location of the doorway and staircase. Don led Luc and the others to follow Josia up the paulownia stairs.
Although the hotel is deserted, the environment is still clean. After everyone went up to the second floor, they couldn't help but be stunned.
Because on the seat in the aisle, there was an old man holding a newspaper. Seeing Tang En and them come up, the old man turned his head, looked at it, and then nodded kindly in greeting.
Probably the people who live here...... Everyone didn't care, and after greeting them, they each chose their own room.
Donn, who was walking behind, had a twinkle in his eyes, his brows furrowed slightly, and he led Josia to the innermost room. This feeling...... You can't go wrong, it's your peers!
The aisle is not spacious, and the old man retracts his legs and feet, and his body is slightly sideways. The two sides crossed over, and Don's ears suddenly moved, and his footsteps did not stop, and he came to the end of the aisle as usual.
Pushing the door in, Don first checked the room, then pushed open the window and looked out, and made an alarm button: "Okay, you can live here." Well, don't open the windows. ”
"Good. Josia nodded.
Don opened the door and walked out, turning around and saying, "Rest early." ”
"You too, good night!" Josia smiled and closed the door.
Walking back, throwing the key, Don looked around at the door number, "Well, it's not this, number thirty-three, number thirty-two......"
As he searched for a room, Don approached the old man who was reading the newspaper, who glanced at it and then retracted.
"Found it!" Don looked at the door on the other side of the old man, his eyebrows slightly raised, and he looked a little happy.
Seeing this, the old man turned his body sideways again and let Don En pass.
"Xiexie, hmm, any interesting news today?" The tone was very normal, suitable for casual inquiries between strangers.
The old man was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "It's all ordinary things, nothing to see......"
"Oh, since there's nothing to see, let's stop reading it......"
Tear pull-
The middle of the newspaper shattered, and a hand stretched out in the shape of a claw.
The attack came very suddenly, the old man's body tensed, and his pupils dilated instantly. Other than that, he can't do anything. Then there was a chill in the neck, and the head hung weakly.
"Did you tell you that your disguise is terrible......
Taking a step forward, Don put the old man in a reclining position, and the torn newspaper casually covered the latter's face.
After doing all this, Don first took a few steps forward, opened the door, and closed it. Then he walked back lightly, and silently came to the room opposite the old man. Leaning forward, the sound of speech in the room was faintly heard......
Touching his nose, Tang En opened his mouth in astonishment, no, this can be met......
Inside the house, the atmosphere is solemn.
A middle-aged man with a sallow face sat on the bed, with blood stains hidden in several places on his body, and he looked not lightly injured. But the tone was very relaxed: "Ha, how to say it's half a peer." Taking advantage of my injury and stabbing me with a knife is too inauthentic. ”
On either side of his oblique square stood two expressionless men with short blades in their hands.
"That is, peers, then take people's money and do things for others should understand. The man on the right said stiffly, "Besides, if you have been on the run for a month, I am afraid that the number of dead and injured colleagues in your hands will be in double digits." ”
The middle-aged man leaned sideways in distress and thought: "Is there so many?
The two men took a vigilant step forward, once again bringing the other into their best attacking angles.
"Hehe, it's useless. You should not have entered the city of Riva and fallen into the hands of our brothers. Resign yourself to your fate!"
The middle-aged man pouted: "Haha, I'm not afraid of the wind blowing off my tongue when I say big things." If I hadn't been injured, you would have approached here?
The man on the left heard this, his eyes flashed, and his dagger moved slightly.
"Don't be impulsive!" the other person hurriedly dissuaded, "This kid is very slippery, he wants to lead us to attack and destroy the combo!"
"Haha, since you don't dare to attack, what are you doing here, do you want to chat with me? Please, I'm very busy, tens of thousands of gold coins in a minute. The middle-aged man teased sarcastically.
"Hehe, no hurry. The two took another small step forward and continued to compress the space, "If you're busy, you can attack first." ”
"Haha, uncle is a master, do you understand the preemptive strike?" The middle-aged man's tone was very arrogant, and he didn't seem to care about the approach of the two. But in fact, he was crying bitterly in his heart, lamenting that the end was approaching. The strength of these two people is basically the same as him, if he comes alone, he can still win it by his own means, but when the two of them are together, he will lie down properly. Not to mention that there were other people surrounding the outside of this room.
At this time, the two seemed to have lost the interest in continuing to talk, and seemed to be worried that they would not be able to stand the other party's mocking tone. Gripped the dagger and pressed forward again.
The middle-aged man's eyes narrowed, and his fingers fluttered regularly. can't delay any longer, let the other party take another step, he can't even pull a person's back.
The atmosphere froze for a moment, and the air instantly became viscous.
All three leaned forward, like tigers trying to pounce on their prey. At this time, any intentional or unintentional action by both sides will attract a thunderous attack.
At this moment,
Knock, knock, knock!
The bodies of the three trembled, and the daggers were suspended without swinging. Then the two people who surrounded them retreated a small step back at the same time, and the killing momentum instantly collapsed.
"Who?" (To be continued.) )
