Hotel on the mountain

Gordon's green eyes blinked nervously twice, and his breath was a little disordered, but he looked at Jetro who showed a kind smile, and then looked at the family heirloom floating in his hand, and soon he After calming down, he lowered his head and replied:

"Of course, Master Jetro, when I was sent here, your will was my will. And the master also ordered it - as a symbol of the heir, from now on, the Pillar of Raya will be fully handed over to you. Maybe the master already knew that the Pillar of Raya would undergo some wonderful changes in your hands, master."

"Glandon, you don't have to be so serious in your answer. You are a free man and my elder. It's just that we are on the same front now." Jetro turned back, pulled the heirloom down and put it back in the box. Said to Gordon, "Can you help me?"

So the two of them hugged one side of the box and returned to the central suite No. 3. Jetro asked Gordon to familiarize himself with the environment on the grounds that he needed to carefully study the beauty of the heirloom.

"Mengzhi, what happened?"

Jetro opened the box again, and the "Pillar of Raya" automatically suspended in mid-air. It emits a sparkling blue light, and the hollow graphics on the bottle are moving around, giving people a magnificent and pure feeling.

"It is a fragment of a portal, which is an object that can carry huge spiritual energy impact. It can be said that it is one of the necessities for us to leave this world. At the same time, it also has the function of increasing the radiation range of my consciousness, but it is only If it’s fragmented, the improvement capability is very limited.”

"A fragment? The Raya family heirloom is an extraterrestrial object?"

When Yetro asked the question, Dream, who had transformed into a light person again, floated next to the heirloom. She waved her hand gently in the air, and a three-dimensional figure was outlined with the Pillar of Raya as the center - this The complete body of the "portal" is like a round and flawless ball. From a microscopic point of view, there are no pitted structures on its surface. It is a perfect metal or other material, and the Pillar of Raya is the core of this sphere.

"It does not belong to this world, nor does it belong to your civilization, but there is no doubt about it - it can be used by us, but we need to find other fragments. This material has an automatic recovery function, as long as all the fragments are gathered together , it will regain its full performance, and this is our hope of returning home.”

"How many pieces of it are scattered out there?"

"I don't know, maybe one or two pieces, maybe hundreds of millions. With only one fragment, it's impossible to judge the extent of its damage. I need another sample."

Jetro sighed and felt a headache. Then, his head really hurt, and his heart began to feel suffocated. The loneliness of life came over him so strongly that he knelt on the ground and wanted to roar wildly - -Jetro found that the loneliness in the dream had become stronger. This kind of loneliness felt the same as being incompatible with the whole world.

"I'm sorry. I'm slowly getting familiar with my 'emotions'. I feel that I may have a feeling of 'homesickness'. Our consciousness has always been connected, and the 'feelings' are also interactive. I'm sorry, It’s a very bad experience for you.”

"It's okay, it's okay." Jetro took a breath, stood up and replied in his mind, "Let's change the topic and try to minimize the association of words like 'go home'. I'll ask first - I should How can I use my family’s heirloom? It used to have the function of passively increasing my spiritual energy, but now I don’t feel that my spiritual energy is increasing. I obviously have spiritual energy stored in my body.”

"There is always a consciousness node sleeping in the Pillar of Raya. It is just its unconscious behavior that can slowly increase your spiritual energy. It cannot communicate and can only receive instructions, so if you need it, just let your spiritual energy spread. In the past, it was enough to give it simple instructions.”

Jetro looked at the floating Pillar of Raya, and his body felt the spiritual energy stored in his body - just like chatting with his consciousness. As long as he tried his best to imagine spiritual energy in his mind, he would find that he was in a field with twinkling stars. In the universe, a group of irregularly structured spiritual energy is suspended in the center of the field of vision - after these few months of "collection", the scale of his spiritual energy has changed from a small drop of water at the beginning to a pond.

Jetro wanted to mobilize his psychic energy to spread towards the Pillar of Raya, so he chanted crazily and silently like he was directing his own hands and feet: "Go over! Go over!"

The fact is that psychic energy is indeed like a part of the body. As long as the brain gives instructions, it will act according to the owner's wishes.

Light purple spiritual energy began to escape from Yetro's body. They enveloped Yetro like mist, and then spread out a beam of spiritual energy towards the Pillar of Raya. When the spiritual energy that spread over also enveloped the Pillar of Raya, another mechanical and cold voice appeared in Yetro's mind: "Command?"

"I need you to enable the function of increasing psychic energy." Jetro replied.

"The effect of the psychic amplification function is being calibrated..." When the Pillar of Raya flashed a mechanical term, it continued to ask, "Choose one, expand the range of psychic amplification, weaken the amplification effect, and keep the range at the Alpine Fortress; choice two, Enhance the psychic amplification effect, weaken the amplification range, and keep the range in this room; choose three, maintain the passive mode, and keep the range in the Alpine Fort Hall."

Jetro thought for a moment and chose the first option.

He felt that he was basically out inspecting the environment and allocating work all day long, and it was impossible to have time to stay in the room and lie down to practice. What's more, the spiritual energy gained from killing monsters in the wild would definitely grow faster than passive growth. Secondly, he needs to add some gimmicks to the Alpine Hotel to attract more people. The role of this family heirloom is very topical. It may also lead to a series of thefts, murders, etc., which will greatly increase the number of hotel guests. visibility and guest occupancy rate.

So he planned to hang up the Raya Pillar as a chandelier later to satisfy its desire to float.

Speaking of which, the hotel does indeed lack ceiling chandeliers.

…

Time passed slowly. Out of respect for the deputy butler and appreciation for talents, Jetro handed over the management of the hotel to Grandon. During this time, he focused on the lanternfish's nest. Check above. He also heard many useful opinions from the latter - for example, the hotel should cut expenses and find better materials to replace the candles made of epiphyllum tallow, and the hotel lacked a clock, and the wall paintings of the first Duke Raya were seriously damaged. , the pillar carvings are destroyed and so on.

In short, it was more like a list of questions than an opinion. But surprisingly, Gordon did not object to Jetro's use of the Pillar of Raya as a chandelier - because he knew who the heir was. Who has family ownership.

And now, the magnificent column emitting a hazy blue light is floating on its own in the center of the Alpine Hotel, attracting the attention of all visitors.

A group of hunters gathered in the lobby on the first floor. They stood still, feeling the active growth of spiritual energy in their bodies with all their hearts. They were very surprised at the magical heritage of a large family and admired the incredible craftsmanship of this kind of production. The overall scene was strange and solemn. When Jetro came down from upstairs, he saw this scene as if he had seen a religious scene in St. Peter's Square where people were surrounding the obelisk in circles, so he couldn't help but feel... Slow down your steps.

Gordon followed him, still persuading in a low voice: "Master, although Epiphyllum Beast's candle is in line with the taste of a noble family, its cost is too high, and the list of supplies also indicates that this is for the banquet. If it is used as daily necessities, I think it will be consumed quickly and the family will not be able to supply it for a long time.”

"Yes, Gordon, what you said is correct. But I have no choice but to ask, who made it work so well? Unless we can find two substitutes, one for its glow, and one for its fragrance."

"Master, if you think so, then I will try my best to accomplish this. But before that, please allow me to take the initiative to adjust the use time and quantity of candles, and strive to reduce lighting and aromatherapy expenses to a minimum."

They went all the way down the stairs, Mengzhi followed them at a regular pace, following the movements of the two people in front of them, which was a bit funny.

"Okay, Gordon, I believe in your ability to do things. Just remember that we have only one hotel in this new world, the only place where we can live. I hope that my guests will explore the unknown wilderness and amazing scenery. After the adventure, they can have a place to relax and wash away the dirt, stains, scars and fatigue from their bodies - pleasant fragrance, sufficient light, and a refreshing hot bath are all indispensable."

"Of course, young master, I can see the prospects of your plan. In the future, it will become an ideal vacation spot for all upper-class people in the Old World. And you can take the opportunity to make friends with all the top people in the pyramid. Your network resources It will be very broad.”

Jetro suddenly turned his head and smiled mysteriously at him: "It's not just that, Granton, it's not just that!"

At this moment, a flurry of footsteps and a hunter's fearful shout broke everyone's relaxed moment——

"It's appeared! A school of walking lantern fish has appeared! It's right at the blacksmith shop in the Raya River! A super large school of walking lantern fish!"
