The Moonlight Hotel is located in the northeast corner of Glastonbury and has sparse traffic.
Aaron walked into the hotel that looked a bit old, glanced around, and was quite satisfied with the environment.
"Welcome, guest!"
The owner of the hotel is a mature and plump woman who calls herself Mrs. Adele. Looking at Aaron's handsome face, she was a little lost for a moment.
"I want accommodation."
Aaron pulled out Jack's identification documents.
Mrs. Adele just glanced at it, and a smile appeared on her face: "We happen to have an empty room in the hotel, it is very clean, and you can check in at any time... It only costs one, no, half a shilling a night!"
Aaron showed a smile that fascinated the lady: "If I rent it for a long time, are there any discounts?"
…
With a creak, the door opened.
Aaron put down his suitcase and looked at this so-called 'best room in the Moonlight Hotel'.
The room is not big. In addition to a bed, there is a desk, a chair, a separate bathroom and a cloakroom.
Apart from that, there is nothing else...
You can eat out three meals a day or have Mrs. Adele bring them to you, but it will cost extra.
Aaron opened the window and could see the street not far away, and the fresh sea breeze with the smell of sea salt came towards him.
He opened the locker in the cloakroom and stuffed the suitcase in. There were only a few rarely worn clothes as cover.
As for the real valuables, he naturally carries them with him or stores them in the "Guardian's Treasure Box".
It has to be said that for people who travel long distances, a magical item with storage function is almost an artifact!
In the evening.
Aaron took a quick shower to cleanse himself of the fatigue and dust from the long journey. Wearing only a simple white shirt and black trousers, without a hat or cane, he walked out of the room wearing thick, soft shoes.
Behind the desk, Madame Adele looked at him with a look that was almost blazing.
Aaron smiled back and walked onto the street, ready to take a stroll at Grinston's night market.
…
Lucy Street.
After watching a snake charmer performance with South Indonesian characteristics, Aaron inquired all the way and came to this mysterious market.
The moonlight complemented the lights of the market, and the narrow streets were crowded with people.
Gentlemen and ladies dressed in high-society attire crowded in front of each other in a grand manner. Surrounded by local slaves and beautiful girls with nose rings, they browsed the shops one by one.
The old woman, dressed like a witch, walked along the street with a staggering step, selling various secret medicines that were said to be able to restore men's virility.
Aaron was not very interested in the dried unknown claws, feathers, animal organs and tissues, and herbs on the stalls on both sides of the street.
For him now, there are very few spiritual materials in the world that he can appreciate.
The real treasure is always in the spiritual world!
However, with a bit of bad taste as a time traveler, Aaron still walked around, hoping to achieve the legendary achievement of "picking up leaks" with his "spiritual vision".
It's a pity that after shopping around, I couldn't find anything missing, but I saw a lot of fakes.
"Dear white man, look at this treasure... I risked my life to steal it from a ruins. It is definitely a magical item!"
When a local stall owner saw Aaron coming, a flattering look appeared on his face, and he hawked a gem-encrusted scimitar on his stall.
The blade of this scimitar is sharp, and each gemstone shines with a different light. It really looks like an extraordinary item.
But in Aaron's 'spiritual vision', its spirituality is constantly being lost.
Obviously, this is not a permanent magical item. No matter how magical the ability is, it will become useless after being used a few times.
‘I feel the malice of the world, can I still be a little better? Is it so difficult for me to pick up the slack?’
Aaron complained in his mind, pushed away the enthusiastic salesman, and entered a small shop without a sign.
This seems to be a grocery store. Once you enter, there are shelves on all sides. It is almost difficult to turn around except for a little place to stand.
Sitting at the front desk was an old man with a shriveled face and a skinny figure. He had a pair of hazy yellow pupils and looked very mysterious.
"Old Martin said, are you well-informed?" Aaron asked, staring at the intelligence businessman.
"Know a little bit..."
The old man raised his head, looked at Aaron a few times with his hazy eyes, and his expression suddenly became solemn: "What do you want to know? Dear guest..."
"Tell me about the recent major events in South Indonesia." Aaron tossed out a few gold pounds and answered casually.
He really didn't have any specific news that he needed to know, so he just treated his visit as a vacation.
If you have the right information, you wouldn't mind going on an adventure in the tropical rainforest.
The intelligence dealer with mysterious eyes thought for a moment, closed his eyes, and began to state in a calm and calm tone: "The previously famous Apudula ruins were confirmed to be the conspiracy of an 'evil spirit', who went to explore
The adventurers and mercenaries were all wiped out..."
"There was a rebellion in the Hrithik kingdom, and a new king came to power... and expelled Invis's diplomatic envoys and missionaries..."
"A rebel force has moved near Grinston, and the Governor asked all estates and immigrants to be vigilant."
…
While listening, Aaron extracted information that was useful to him, and suddenly asked: "It seems that there are many factions in the resistance army?"
"Yes, this branch belongs to the 'Kumar faction', which advocates violent overthrow of colonial tyranny, the establishment of a coalition government, and the massacre of all white people... They were defeated by the 'Yenis' who advocated a more moderate approach. According to gossip,
The Governor's Palace previously sold a batch of arms to the 'Yenis'..."
The old man replied with a smile.
"As long as the commission is enough, capitalists can sell the slings used to hang themselves." Aaron sighed.
"Is this philosophical motto said by your famous philosopher Earl Greenson of Inves?" The old man blinked.
"..." Aaron was speechless: "That's right!"
"There is another news, related to the 'Kumar faction', but you have to pay more!" The old man suddenly showed a mysterious smile.
"explain."
Aaron took out a wallet.
"It is said that this resistance army is sending people to infiltrate into Fort Grinston... The guards of the Governor's Palace have arrested many natives recently. Of course... it has nothing to do with superior people like you, but it is said that they are infiltrating into the castle.
I want to steal a certain treasure from the Governor's Palace."
The old man said mysteriously.
"What treasure?" Aaron blinked.
"I don't know...probably the treasures found by the Governor-General's army from some royal family or temple or ruins." The old man shook his head, disapprovingly.
