A few people said and walked to the end of the hallway.

Cynthia and Alyssa slept in room 202, Alan and Riel slept in room 204, and Frey went alone to sleep in single room 203.

The room was not as dirty as Riel had imagined, and although it was poorly furnished, with only a bed and some tables and chairs, there was no dust on the floor, and the beds were clean and tidy, which made him feel a lot more relieved. And the magic lamp in the room was much brighter than the kerosene lamp downstairs.

But just as they were about to wash up and rest, they suddenly heard a series of slightly hurried footsteps coming from the staircase, getting closer and closer, and then a knock on the door of room 202 next door.

"Who is it so late?" Alan and Riel pushed open the door to check the situation, and found that it was the innkeeper.

"What happened?" asked Allen.

"No, no......" The innkeeper waved his hand again and again, and suddenly hesitated, "uh...... It's just that...... I forgot to ask ......"

"What?" Alan couldn't help but wonder a little when he wanted to say something.

Alyssa, Cynthia, and Frey all opened the door and came out.

"Ah...... It's not a big deal......" the boss glanced at them and lowered his head, "It's just that I forgot to ask you what you want for breakfast, so I told my wife to prepare." ”

"We don't pick this one, just prepare something that you usually eat. Alan said, "Excuse me." ”

"Yes, yes......" The boss nodded and leaned slightly, "Then I won't disturb everyone's rest, good night." ”

With that, he turned and trotted all the way downstairs.

"I didn't expect this guy to be quite sweet...... "Rare said as he turned around and went back to the house, "It seems that the money is not too much of a loss." ”

Alan grabbed him: "Wait!"

"What's wrong?" asked Riel.

Seeing that Alan didn't speak, he suddenly began to observe the corridor carefully.

"Don't you think there's light in this hallway...... Is it much brighter than when we came?" Alan frowned slightly.

"Like...... Is that so......" Riel leaned under one of the magic lamps and observed as he spoke, "There are three brightness levels to choose from, and this one seems to be the brightest now. ”

Alan also leaned over and found that there were indeed three buttons on the lamp holder, which looked like three buttons from dark to light.

He tapped the leftmost one, and the light of the magic lamp dimmed in an instant.

"Sure enough...... That's the brightness when we came here......" Alan took a closer look, only to realize that only the magic lamp near them had been turned on, and the rest of the place was still dim.

"It's just that the brightness is turned up, what's so strange about that. Riel said.

"Do you remember what he said before?" said Allen, "business has been sluggish lately, and no one has been here for a long time...... When we went upstairs just now, I found that almost all of our rooms were empty, and no one was there. ”

As he spoke, he walked to the door of rooms 205 and 206 and knocked lightly on the lock.

Frey also listened to the spell and said, "It's not just us, the entire second floor is empty...... Well...... The same goes for the ground floor...... Only a small house in the backyard was inhabited by people, who seemed to be his family. ”

"If you look downstairs, you should know that he has been saving as much as possible in order to save money. "Do you think it's necessary for him to turn up the lights in the hallway if he's just here to ask what we're going to have for breakfast?"

"Uh......" Rare vaguely felt as if something was wrong when he heard this, "Maybe he thinks we give us a lot of money?"

"It's a possibility, but what I care about the most is his performance...... "Alan said after a moment's silence, "maybe I'm overthinking, and I always feel like he didn't want to ask these ...... in the first place."

"Didn't you want to ask that?" Riel wondered, "What else could it be? Do you need hot water or something?"

"To be honest, I also felt a little wrong. Cynthia gave him a blank look and said, "He didn't dare to look at us until the last time he spoke, and he looked weak." ”

"No...... Even more suspicious was his previous actions...... "Allen said," "and he not only turned up the lights, but also glanced at us carefully...... Although the whole process was short......"

"What do you mean...... then," Riel said.

"Hmm...... He seems to ...... It's to see what we look like......" Alan thought.

"See what we look like?" Ryle said in a fog, "why did he come over to observe us when he was fine...... We've paid for the room and everything......"

"......I don't know," Alan thoughtfully said, "It sounds a little strange, but based on his performance, I can only conclude this......"

"Wow, he can't be trying to kill for money!" "Rare suddenly shouted, "Because I've been so poor lately, seeing that we're making a lot of money, he moved this crooked idea!"

"How is it possible, there are five of us. Alan shook his head and said, "If he really thinks so, then he will wait until the dead of night to do it, right, why bother to show his face in front of us again." ”

"Then ...... him"

Riel wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Alyssa, "Don't guess yet, let me try...... You might hear something. ”

"Well, that's fine. Alan nodded, silent.

Alyssa chanted the incantation softly, then began to use the Ears of the Wind.

"He didn't seem to be on the first floor anymore and went back to the backyard. Alyssa listened carefully for a moment and said, "He seemed to be very agitated, pacing back and forth. ”

Frey also used the Ground Listening Charm to help Alyssa detect: "Yes, the first floor is completely empty now, and he is indeed in the small house in the backyard now. ”

"A woman spoke...... Ask him 'why he looks uneasy'. Alyssa began to relay, "'Oh no, no, we seem to be in big trouble!'' 'What's wrong?' Did the tax department send someone to urge us to pay our taxes again?'' 'It's more serious than this!''Look at this!'' 'So much money!' Where did you get it!' A few foreign travelers! A few strangers who just stayed there!' They said that as long as they bought them some food, the rest of the money would be ours!'' 'Really?' Thank God! Now our son's tuition will not have to worry about it!''' These guys aren't fuel-efficient lamps!''Why...... Who are they?'"

At this point, Alyssa suddenly stopped, and her face began to become solemn.

It was a long time before she spoke again: "'They're the ones wanted by the Ministry of Security...... Fugitives from Krivari!'"
