"But this shop is a bit shabby, isn't it?!" Beya's inns are better than this!" Ariel almost shouted, "The room must be dirty and messy, with cockroaches, spiders, rats, or whatever!"

It's no wonder that Riel is disgusted, this hotel is indeed not large, only two floors, and there are only about a dozen rooms. Judging by the size of the windows, the size of each room is also limited.

"Oh, so you want to sleep on the streets?" Cynthia glanced at him, "Anyway, you're also a person who has been to Krivari, you can't be ignorant of the management system of the big city, right?"

"Uh...... This ......" Riel hesitated when he heard this.

"If you are found by the patrol officers of the Ministry of Security, you will be taken back. After that, Cynthia put on a nonchalant look again: "But generally speaking, the impact on the appearance of the city will only be locked up in a cell for three days, if you don't care, we don't mind waiting for you in Glenn Crown first...... Oh, by the way, just a word of caution, there are many more rats in the cells than in the inns, and they might even bite!"

"That'...... Then let's make do with it for the night......" Frightened by Cynthia's coaxing, Riel finally dispelled other thoughts, "But I suggest that we split up tomorrow morning, and the sooner things are done, the better, and try to get out of here before the evening......"

"Needless to say, we should move faster. Cynthia said, "The future of this continent could come to an end at any time, and time is running out for us." ”

"Then let's get in quickly. Alan said as he stepped up the stairs.

The gate is single, small, and also moth-eaten.

Alan opened the door and walked through a short corridor to a T-shaped passage. On either side are narrow corridors, and in front of it is a high counter.

Perhaps to save money, there was only one kerosene lamp on the counter.

"Is the boss here?" Alan shouted when he saw that there was no one at the counter, "We're going to stay overnight." ”

As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged man in his forties hurried over from the corridor on the side, still holding a wand in his hand.

"It's coming! It's coming!" The middle-aged man trotted all the way back to the counter and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry! I didn't expect there to be guests coming so late, and I was about to clean up the vacant room and close!"

"It's okay, just be here. "We want to stay here for one night, we need about two double rooms and a single room, do you have any available rooms?"

"Yes, there are!," said the boss, wiping the sweat from his forehead, "a double room costs ten silver dollars a night, and a single room only needs half of it...... Oh, and I can give you a free breakfast!"

"Hmm, is it so cheap?" Riel wondered, "The cheapest hotel I've ever seen costs two gold coins." ”

"There's no way, business has been getting worse and worse lately, and if you don't reduce the price, no one will come at all...... Originally, this shop was small, and it relied on a lot of tourists to make ends meet on weekdays, but who knew that now there was such a big thing, and almost no one came......" As soon as he talked about this boss, he couldn't help but sigh, "You should have heard about it, there's a monster running out of Krivari!

"Of course, we'll ...... from there" Riel opened up the conversation as soon as he heard this, as if he wanted to talk to the boss for a while.

But Alan interrupted him: "Yes, we have heard about it, because we live in the nearby town and have fled here. ”

Riel looked at him a little puzzled, not understanding why he was hiding his identity.

"Wow, you're in luck!" exclaimed the boss, "I heard that the whole city was ruined and no one could get out alive!"

"We were really lucky. Alan stopped the conversation, "Please take us to the room to rest, we're tired all the way." ”

"Okay, okay!" said the boss, pulling out a bunch of keys and starting to walk back and forth in the ledger.

"A few of us are together, so please try to arrange the room for us together. Alan said the money was put on the counter.

"In that case...... Well...... Then 202, 203 and 204 will be given to you to live in, originally the room on the second floor is a little more expensive, but since you are a distinguished guest from such a distant place, then make an exception......" The boss quickly put away the money, took off three of the keys and handed them to them, "Go upstairs and turn left and go to the end, the odd number is a double room, and the even number is a single room." ”

"Oh, yes...... There are also two unicorns pulling the carriage that you need to take care of, and if it's convenient, please prepare some sungrass for them, and we'll pay for it. Alan said as he dug into his pockets and prepared to pay.

The boss looked slightly embarrassed: "Huh...... There's no such thing as sungrass in a small shop like mine, and it's only sold in the market in the northwest......"

"How far is the northwest side?" asked Allen.

"It's not very far, only about three kilometers from here. "But if you're willing to pay a little more, I'll be happy to do it for you!"

"Well......" Alan thought for a moment and took out a small bag of gold coins: "Then please." We've just arrived in Dunkel and we're not familiar with anything here, so please drop by and buy us some more convenient food, such as bread and cheese...... We still have to travel, and we need to make sure that we have enough food for at least three days on the road. If you have any money left, you can keep it for yourself, if it's not enough, you can help us pay it first, and I will settle it for you when I come back. ”

"Enough! Enough! You're welcome!" the boss took the bag of gold coins and said incoherently excitedly: "I promise that not only you, but even unicorns will be able to eat enough!"

"That's good, I'm sorry for you. With that, Alan went up to the second floor with a few others.

"Why did you give him so much!" Riel couldn't help but say after entering the hallway, looking distressed, "Not to mention that the money is enough to buy food for three days, and it won't be a problem for three weeks!"

"We need him to do these things for us now, and we need to do it well, so we should give him more benefits. "With him doing these things for us, we can have more time to rest, or refine our magic to prepare for what we may encounter next." ”

"That's not enough to give him...... Even if he asks for a tip, you're probably giving too much!

"Don't you understand?" Cynthia gave him a blank look, "and most importantly, he can help us hide our identities." ”

"Hide your identity?" Cynthia's remark reminded Riel of what had just happened, and Alan had been trying to hide his identity since then.

"Hmm...... Indeed it is. Allen said.

"Why?" Riel still wondered.

"I can't tell, I just feel a little weird here......" Alan frowned slightly, "Don't you feel it?"

"No...... "Rare's face confused, "it seems like ...... A little quieter than Krivari?"

"I'm not talking about that, it's about the atmosphere......" Allen said.

"Atmosphere?" Riel was even more confused.

"Hmm......" Alan nodded, thoughtfully, "I always feel that something is not quite right in the atmosphere in this city......"
