After walking around the largest street in the North District of Beta Town, several young wizards finally gave up looking for a hotel in the North District and decided to return to the North District Pier. They found a hotel near the Pier that looked clean and tidy with strict access control.
hostel.
The name of the hotel is 'Jan Pernel's Hotel'.
The bronze plate hanging at the door of the hotel is engraved with three lines of clear bold characters: "It was founded in 999 by the pioneer Yang and the pioneer Pinel. It is only for wizards to stay. We provide fish floss, and cats and dogs are welcome. Magicians are welcome."
,Japanese and fish people are not allowed to enter.'
Looking at the nameplate, it smells full of discrimination.
"Such a store opened in the North District of Beta Town, but it wasn't closed down by the Wizards Alliance?!" Zheng Qing couldn't help but sigh as he pushed the door open and entered the store, "Aren't they worried about riots in the North District?"
"I'm just used to it." Xiao Xiao shrugged without explaining too much.
Next to him, Fatty Xin, who was more familiar with the North District of Beta Town, started to make Mopu enthusiastically. "This is a matter left over from history... In fact, before the relevant discrimination bill was promulgated, this store had already been included in the third batch of the Wizards Alliance."
The listing of monuments of commemorative and historical value prevents future generations from modifying it to a certain extent."
While they were talking, the three of them had already entered the hotel.
The goblin waiter in a brown tuxedo came forward respectfully and handed the guests red silk scarves. It is said that tying them on the body can sweep away bad luck and resist the curse in the silent forest.
The goblin waiters are very short, only about one meter tall, with bat ears and big eyes, and their skin is protein-colored. They speak in a soft voice and never look directly into the eyes of the wizards.
This made Zheng Qing feel unusually awkward while being novel.
It's like having a pebble in your shoe when you're walking, it'll sting with every step you take.
I don’t know if other people feel the same way, but in short, the whole process from check-in to cleaning up was extremely quiet. Even Fatty Xin, who is usually a bit talkative, kept his mouth tightly shut.
It wasn't until I walked out of the hotel that the weird low-pressure feeling lingering around me slowly dissipated.
After about ten minutes, when the door and wall of the Yang-Peniel United Hotel had completely disappeared from everyone's sight, Zheng Qing lamented belatedly, "I just realized that we stayed in a hotel with a golden bean for one night."
Hotel... If we stay in the North District for two more days, we won't even be able to make back the travel expenses."
"Then don't stay for two more days and finish the things in Gini's hut today." Xiao Xiao replied in a brisk tone.
"And my investigation report." Fatty Xin chatted from the side.
"You can come to the North District to do your report when the school is open. There is no need to squeeze it in with the doctor's work on the same day." Zheng Qing glanced at the fat man with some annoyance, and then became worried, "Oh, I don't know where we are.
Can these external expenses go to the public account of the store..."
Because the funds in the public account involve a series of policies and regulations such as taxation and deductions, even if d≈ap;k's money bag is in Zheng Qing's hands, he cannot just use it as pocket money.
"Then you have to ask Hu Wu, he has been taking care of the accounts lately." Fatty Xin has never cared much about such things.
Hu Wu was a domestic servant of the Su family in Qingqiu. Because the store was short of manpower at the end of the term, he was borrowed by Zheng Qing to help look after the store, and then he never returned it. The Qingqiu Mansion did not seem to take it seriously and did not rush this matter.
.
But after all, he borrowed money and refused to repay it, so Zheng Qing always kept this matter in his mind.
As soon as he heard the fat man mention the name 'Fox Five', he couldn't help but panic. He raised his head and looked around for a moment, then turned to look at Xiao Xiao, "Where is the Gini hut you mentioned?"
"Beita Town North District, No. 33 Gu Diao Street, second floor... There is no house number. I guess the whole floor is their club." Xiao Xiao opened his notebook and speculated while reading from the script.
Since leaving the hotel, the three of them have taken several turns in the streets and alleys of the North District. Zheng Qing can no longer tell the difference between east, west and north.
On the left and right are low-rise and dilapidated houses, with smoke rising from the rubbish heaps, dirty walls, random graffiti, and men, women, and children with gloomy eyes.
The whole North District seems to have the same appearance.
Full of coldness, restlessness and disappointment.
"Gudiao Street, Gudiao Street..." Zheng Qing muttered the term, and finally shook his head, "It has a sinister name, which doesn't sound like a good place to go."
"Ha." Xiao Xiao sneered.
Fatty Xin had another opinion on Zheng Qing’s caution, “Whether it is a good place depends on your specific needs… If you are here for fun and someone touched your wallet in the North District, then this is naturally not a good place;
But if you are here to have fun, there are plenty of beautiful girls in the North District for you to choose from... Many times, a simple magic potion prescription can make you happy."
Zheng Qingxu looked at the fat man with his eyes.
"You are so active in conducting investigations in the North District, isn't it because you are too happy to miss Shu?" He bit the last four words of the idiom very hard. This made the fat man's originally fair face immediately turn red.
"Nonsense! You're slanderous!" After a few curses, Fatty Xin's face suddenly returned to its original state, and he hummed, "By the way, did you really blow up that descendant of Sathogaya?"
The sudden mention of this topic caused Zheng Qing's original leisurely mood to fall into a trough again.
"I just shot the wrong shot at the wrong time, in the wrong place." The young public-funded student summed up his views by borrowing a very famous saying.
"I'm so stupid, really, I should have followed you and hid in the cabin... Even if I was dragged by the old man, I should have insisted on my own ideas and hid in the cabin. This way I wouldn't have caused any trouble.
"
Xiao Xiao led the way. Hearing this, he said without turning back, "You're not stupid, you're just a little stupid."
This comment made Zheng Qing's face suddenly darken.
What he just said was just habitual modesty and blaming someone else.
In any case, an evil demon, and a very well-established evil demon, exploded under his own talisman bullet. This is a very honorable thing after all, and it is worth bragging about.
If he hadn't been worried about the school's fines and some unspeakable threats from Xingkong if he took this matter on him, he would not have been so cautious and modest in front of Ms. Pulitzer just now.
Just as he was racking his brains to think of how to counterattack the doctor's personal attack beautifully, Xiao Xiao, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and almost staggered him.
"Why did it stop suddenly?!" The wizard complained dissatisfiedly after he stood firm.
"We're here." Xiao Xiao said softly.
Zheng Qing suddenly raised his head.
In front of the three of them was the entrance to a winding and deep alley. On the wall on the left, there was a Gu carving wood carving with three words carved crookedly on it - Gu Diao Street.
