Hotel on the mountain

When December came, the new ocean-going sailing ship Le Havre, which carried the guests, had arrived at the port. Captain Lao Mai's Serbia embarked on the return journey. The Lisbon, also an ocean-going sailing ship, stayed in the New World to wait. A shift, and the psychic battleship carrying Lucio did not start returning after the supply was completed, which more or less aggravated Jetro's worries - because he knew that Lucio was the marshal's The son is not qualified to have the empire's maritime weapons as his exclusive seat.

In Suite No. 3 at dusk, psychic energy bloomed in Lucio's hand and spread to every corner of the room - "Reconnaissance!"

"I have scouted and the room is safe." One of the two women in black robes spoke.

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that Jetro is not stupid at least." According to the psychic feedback, there was no secret spying or eavesdropping. Lucio threw himself on the soft sofa, crossed his long legs, and bit into the fruit. , "Hurry up, I used the captain's scandal to exchange him for five days of docking time. Once the five days are over, even if you get the artifact fragments, you can't leave. So, can you tell me what your plans are? ?”

The two women in black robes ate the snacks sent by the hotel and said calmly: "In the past five days, you have been pestering Yetro, and we are responsible for distracting Qiu Guang's attention."

"What about Deputy Butler Golandon? Although he has not rated a star, only a fool would ignore him, right? And that Sis Raya is also a four-star knight. Finally, you have to tell me , how do you get out of this mountain fort after grabbing the artifact fragments? The guards on the other side of the gatehouse are not blind. Could it be that you want to climb over the city wall and jump from here? "

"You are not at the round table and have no right to know the entire plan."

"Oh, I understand." Lucio sat up from the sofa and pointed at the woman in black robe with the hand holding the fruit, "You have arranged for other people, right? So, I am just a tool to attract attention. ?”

"Lucio, if you want to enter the core of the Dragon God Religion and gain the favor of the Dragon God, you should be as loyal to the orders of the Round Table as we are." The two of them did not reveal any more details, which made Lucio very upset. I took a few bites of the fruit depressedly.

…

Psyker, this is the title of a psionic user that is different from the two unique professions of "Knight" and "Hunter". It is the most numerous psionic profession in the world, because in a broad sense, anyone with psychic abilities can be called a psionic user. However, when a psionic user is recognized by the public and the official as a "psyker", it means that the level of his psionic use has far exceeded the level of pediatrics such as "reconnaissance" and "protection" , they can turn psychic energy into weapons, they can also fire psychic cannonballs like the Black Erosion Dragon, and they can also step into some fields of strange energy like Butler Carter.

They also assign stars - a hunter's star is based on defeating a monster, a knight's star is based on defeating a hunter, and a psyker's star is based on defeating a knight. Unlike hunters who can be promoted as long as they defeat monsters with corresponding star levels, knights and psykers must first submit for review and then defeat three different examiners, so compared to the hunter group with uneven levels, knights The gold content is higher than that of psykers.

Gordon stood in the hotel lobby, greeting guests entering and exiting the hotel together with his deputies. Guests walked in from the neat carpet and passed through the door with exquisite carvings. They were shocked by the "chandelier" emitting faint blue light in the mid-air in the lobby, and even the sofas made of fine leather and specially designed for nobles. The lamps and decorations did not attract their attention.

Lucio and Jetro walked down the central staircase together. Under the gaze of the huge portrait of the first Duke of Raya, Lucio took a deep breath and asked Jetro: "Leaf , in fact, I have wanted to ask for a long time——"

"Um?"

"What kind of fragrance is in this air? It's so damn sweet."

"The smell of pig manure."

Lucio, who was still breathing greedily, didn't move or move his nose. He glanced at Jetro speechlessly, as if he was looking at a fool. Jetro glanced back at him, smiled and said: "I'm not lying to you, little deer. The 'sweet smell' in the air is emitted by the excrement of mushroom pigs. They have been eating mushrooms all their lives, and they are especially interested in the taste." The mushrooms are very interesting. The food changes layer by layer in its body, and finally condenses into stone-like things. These stones will continue to grow until they are excreted from the body. But not all the mushrooms are there. All pig stones can be used, but only the huge mushroom pigs have stones that can spread their fragrance widely. We have to dissect them and remove them from their bodies."

"It's so bloody, you are so cruel. Were you the one who discovered this secret?"

"No, it was discovered by Butler Gordon. He promised to find a substitute for Epiphyllum. At the same time, he is also a very careful and powerful psyker. He has a way to find something that is helpful for the development of the hotel. Moreover, I remember that you finished eating the whole little mushroom pig I sent you last night. I hope you have prayed for it to ascend to heaven before eating it up. "

"No, I still want to retain my piety and ask the Kingdom of Heaven to give me a place."

The two of them walked down the stairs step by step. Jetro liked to wear a white shirt and a blue scarf, but this would be a bit thin in winter, so he took a coat from Gordon's hand. He put it on his body and told Golandon: "Glandon, Major Lucio wants to see the layout of the hotel and other areas of the Alpine Fort, so I have to ask you to take him for a walk."

"Of course, the Alpine Castle is the greatest architectural achievement of the first Duke. I will let Major Lucio have a satisfactory journey." When Gordon speaks, people will feel that his eyebrows, hair, and eyes are in harmony with His skin was smiling warmly, feeling as comfortable as bathing in the spring breeze.

But Lucio refused Golandon's company and continued to Jetro: "Ziye, I finally came to the New World to see you, are you just ignoring me like this? Please, I will only stay for a few days. I will try my best." The friendship of landlords.”

Jetro and Golandon looked at each other, wrapped their coats tightly, and said to Lucio: "Okay, let me explain in advance that my sexual orientation has not changed."

It was getting late outside the hotel, and the brightly lit hotel stood on a high mountain covered with the Milky Way. Jetro and Lucio were strolling in the garden at the atrium - the garden had not yet been repaired, and there were many building materials and plants that needed to be transplanted. They were placed everywhere, and the workers had all gone to rest. There were only some lights and the sound of insects surrounding the two of them - and of course, Mengzhi, who said nothing like a ghost, making Lucio feel uncomfortable.

"Yi Zi, has this lover of yours always been like this?"

"I have said many times that she is my bodyguard and the person I trust most, but she is by no means my lover."

"Okay." Lucio turned his head back, and his tall feet made a harsh snapping sound on the broken branches and leaves. His cane also tapped the ground from time to time, and the sound was disturbing. The buzzing of insects around them seemed to be tearing at the glass, making people feel creepy. The gloomy and dilapidated garden did not show any pleasant colors. The two of them were speechless for a while until they walked to the end of the winding path.

Jetro spoke first: "Is it tonight?"

"Huh? What did you say?" Lucio waved his cane, looking innocent.

"I asked the captain, and he said he would only wait for you for five days, but you have been here for four days. Come on, Lucio, you are not someone who likes to see the scenery. I remember that you only liked to go shopping when you were a child. Some clubs, guest houses, hanging out with women.”

"Yi Zi, you always hurt my heart so much, won't you allow me to make some good changes?" Lucio is similar in stature to Yetro, but the high hat he wears makes him more imposing.

Jetro smiled and continued: "One advantage of opening a hotel is that I can probably know a little bit about what happened in your room. For example, I know that you were in a gorgeous hotel with two well-covered women. You sleep in separate beds in the suite, because your bedroom is very clean, not messy at all, and not full of odor or perfume. The cleaning staff were very surprised - they thought it would be a place of debauchery. Lucio, it must not be easy for you to restrain yourself for so long, right?"

Lucio smiled brightly, leaned towards Jetro with his cane and said, "Ye Zi, I have really changed my ways."

"It doesn't matter. If you don't achieve your goal tonight, it won't be possible tomorrow. The captain of the psychic battleship won't wait for you for a second. Anyway, he thinks you, a playboy, still have an ocean-going sailing ship to go back to. That is Said, it will set off to return around noon tomorrow. At that time, the only boat you can take is my boat - remember, it is my boat." The eyes of Jetro and Lucio collided. After a while, Jetro continued, "Do you need me to take you to the port now?"

Lucio straightened his clothes, swung his cane and said, "Let's go then. I also want to see the night view of the seaside in the New World. It must be beautiful."

Jetro stretched out his hand and signaled Lucio to invite him first, and the three of them left the garden, boarded the carriage and headed for the port.
