The prices for accommodation and meals quoted by the clerk were twice as expensive as those in the city for the same quality of service. This surprised Crownpiss. Generally speaking, rural areas should be cheaper, right?
"This is the only shop in the area. Pay first. Looking at what you're doing, you won't be short of money, right?" the clerk said with a serious face.
"It doesn't matter - there are three of us in one night, and we will have two meals tonight and tomorrow morning. We want the best. Do you have the money to find it?"
"Dang rang rang, rang, rang, rang, rang, rang, rang, rang, rang, rang, rang!" Crounpisi flicked the three universal silver coins on the table, making a crisp sound. The sound gradually became smaller as it became denser, and stopped on the table.
The clerk took the silver coins and placed a wave of copper coins on the table. Crounpisi took them without counting them.
"Is this okay? What's the matter? You were stunned for a while? You don't think that I...the eldest lady in the family can't get out a mere two silver coins, right?" Crounpis narrowed his eyes and raised the coin that he just tossed.
Hands, rubbed with thumb and index finger.
"No, it's okay," the clerk took out two keys, "Go upstairs and turn right to the last two rooms at the end. You can put your luggage in the treasure box beside the bed."
"Treasure chest?"
"It's the box in the room that can be opened and locked with the room key. However, our store can only provide this kind of protection at best. Please pay attention to anything beyond this. So on the other hand, don't linger around the doors and windows of other people's rooms to avoid causing trouble.
Misunderstanding." The clerk explained and seemed to look at Crounpis's hand a few more times. "It seems that you are confident in your own strength and experience, but it doesn't look like you can handle all kinds of unexpected situations.
Look, don't cause any trouble to me."
Crownpis opened his mouth, and Sunny also faked a cough.
He clearly stated that he was much older than the clerk, and the other party also admitted that he believed in the lifespan and possible experiences of elves, but why did he think that this was not possible?
But it doesn't matter, just get a room.
Crownpis took the key, compared it, and cursed in her mind: "Damn it, aren't the two keys the same?"
But too lazy to take care of it, Crownpiss threw one of them to the coachman behind: "Yours, sleep better tonight, we have to drive tomorrow. I'll leave your luggage to you."
For some reason, Gulf also looked stupid after taking the key.
"Let's go." Sunny said in the tone of a well-acted young lady.
"Yes." Crounpisi followed immediately, leaving behind a few people with abnormal faces.
After the two goblins went upstairs, the clerk asked Gulf with confusion: "What's going on with those two elves? Are there people who are so ignorant of the world and are walking outside these days? You must know the slave-catching team targeting the elves.
It’s also a bit rampant.”
Of course, Gulf didn't know much. He just told the mercenary group about hiring him and the tasks assigned to him.
"Holy Tree Fairy...I heard that the group leader is also an elf, but are the two people arranged reliable?" the clerk asked.
"Don't ask me about this kind of thing. I don't know either. It's just that the leader has never made a mistake." Gelf said.
"Generally speaking, would a position like yours be given a private room? Generally speaking, it must be a large room with a bunk bed, right? I thought at first that the two of them would share a room, and then you came to me and asked for a bunk room.
"
"Don't tell me, I was scared too, but I won't sleep in a single room for nothing - as long as today's rent payment is not included in my wages afterwards, haha." Gelf joked.
At this time, the clerk waved his hand and asked Gelf to come closer and lowered his voice: "Didn't you hire a bodyguard? Those two elves may become magic casters because they have enough time, but they are definitely not good at fighting.
.”
"I heard that he can master third-level magic. If a human can reach this level, he would be a genius. What can't he do?"
"I've seen a lot of people. Look at that maid's hands——"
The clerk was referring to the hands that Crounpis had shown off many times. There was nothing special about Crounpisi's hands. They were the hands of ordinary children, similar to those of children from ordinary families on Earth, but in this world they were extremely
Abnormal.
All kinds of people in this world need to do a lot of things, especially those in combat-related professions. Even magic casters often have to do rough things. If they have lived for decades, their hands will not be so thin and tender.
Yes, even elves are the same. Only people who have lived in seclusion for a long time without having to work can have such hands.
If anyone else has such a hand, it must be someone with a very different physiology and human race and a human form. However, normal people will not consider this aspect at all.
Most people wouldn't pay attention to it, but this clerk noticed that the customer had some different characteristics, so he paid a little attention here.
Sunny was standing a little far away, so it was not clear with the back of her hand facing out, but when Crounpis threw money and made the "not short of money" gesture, the clerk could see clearly. Even the maid was like this.
Where is the eldest lady?
And he just throws the money away when he pays, and he doesn’t even count the money when he gives change...
It seems to be the kind of person who has been in seclusion for many years. Although he has learned knowledge and skills that are comparable to the excellent combat capabilities of humans, and he likes to show off his wealth, in fact, he has no combat experience and can easily fall into trouble. He doesn't even know when he was tricked.
Planting people.
This has to be said to be one of the areas where Claudius "failed".
The conversation between the two was overheard by some people who had just hitched a ride. Although someone's eyes seemed to flash, they were not alerted.
The two chatted casually for a few more words. Gelf planned to remind the two goblins the next day, and then went to the room to prepare for rest.
The clerk took a look and prepared to serve the next customer.
The atmosphere in the hotel remains the same.
At this time, in the goblin's room——
"Ahhhh, it's so annoying to play the role of an elegant elf lady! Why don't any thieves attack and come to relieve my boredom?" Sunny entered the room and began to roll back and forth on the bed.
There was a lamp in the house, and even though it was possible to see without a lamp, as an elf, such night vision was too much, so Crounpis reached out to the oil lamp and used the indigenous life magic - the lighting technique, to light up the room.
It's gotten a little brighter.
Then, Clawnpis also jumped on the bed, not looking like a maid at all.
"It's really not going well. Larva also made miscalculations sometimes. I hope my 'showing off wealth' and 'ignorance' just now can attract some 'customers'."
By the way, Clawnpith cast Silence on the walls of the room. Since he knew that thieves were following him on this journey, he had to be careful that the walls had ears.
