Shuge read out the name of the building in front of him.
He has never been here, but he has heard the name of this hotel.
The Adlon Hotel has existed even longer than Bolden City.
It used to be just a small hotel, receiving all guests coming and going. Human merchants, mercenaries, and mages were all regular visitors here, and plateau ogres, giant-eared goblins, and mountain elves were also there.
On the reception list.
It has avoided the undercurrents and rocks in the long river of time time and time again, and has successfully survived wars, plagues and other turmoils. It has witnessed the destruction and reconstruction of cities, the replacement of kingship, and non-human races.
Displacement on the plateau.
And now, the Adlon Hotel, which was bought by the famous giant-eared goblin businessman Victor, has been transformed into the largest hotel in the entire Bolden City and even the entire Walter Kingdom. This hotel has grown from nearly twenty
Since two years ago, it has been working closely with the Votel government, so since then, the Adlon Hotel has also been used as an important place to accommodate important guests and visitors from various countries in addition to embassies.
"So why was I sent here? Shouldn't I be taken directly to Ernst Manor?"
Xiuge turned to the soldier Duden on the side and asked: "How come I, a bad novel writer, am treated the same as the foreign guests?"
"As you wish, ma'am."
"In the afternoon, I don't know exactly what happened."
"The Adlon Hotel will naturally not embarrass any customer, so even guests from the Kingdom of Delan can receive the most attentive service here... But once you leave the hotel, you can't tell."
"Although it seems that you two don't have any luggage with you, the supplies and clothing in the room are all available. If you have any other needs, you can contact the waiter through the summoning crystal in the room."
The elf naturally responded to every request, and he replied with a smile: "The two of you will stay in our VIP suite. There are two independent rooms in the suite for you to choose. Please rest assured that privacy is absolutely guaranteed."
...This means that even for scholars who study magic, the secrets it can reveal are extremely limited. After all, it is always rigorous magic formulas and regular runes that can advance magic research, not those ancient magic formulas.
Weird verse."
Someone got out of another car.
At this time, Xiuge noticed that this elf had two narrow brown lines on his side face, which meant that he belonged to the "New Leaf Family" among the mountain elves. This elf family is extremely large and has always been associated with humans.
Known for its deep social integration.
But this was not the information that Shuge wanted to know, so he asked: "So, does Mr. Finn know who booked the room?"
As a loyal reader of Xiuge, Duden tried his best.
"There is no problem so far. At least he no longer needs healing magic to maintain his life."
"That's my topic, but this topic...heh, it's really difficult to find a breakthrough point."
Finn, the tall and lanky elf receptionist, started his job.
What surprises Shuge is that although the Adlon Hotel is currently owned by the giant-eared goblin businessman Victor, it has not been poisoned by the "goblin aesthetic".
As a place used by the Kingdom of Walter to receive important foreign guests in the royal capital, the size and decoration of the Adlon Hotel are needless to say. Even visitors from a foreign country like Shuge, whose souls have been washed away by complicated information, feel the same way.
Here comes the style and luxury.
They were replaced by the security guards of the Adlon Hotel. Although they were wearing the hotel's security uniforms, they were still fully armed, and they showed an air of vigor in their actions.
Of course, it may just be that Victor respects the long history of the Adlon Hotel, so he did not choose to show a little goblin shock to guests from all over the world in a place like this.
Weilin gently raised her glasses: "It is indeed a magic book, but it is a book that records lost magic, and it uses elusive verses throughout, because its author is a
crazy poet
"Please forgive my shallowness, but Miss Wei Lin... what is "Poetry of the Night"?"
As he spoke, the elf Finn's eyes skipped over Shuge and Wei Lin in turn. After discovering that neither of them carried any large luggage, he turned slightly sideways and said "please" to the door of the Adlon Hotel.
” posture.
Wei Lin seemed to have known that Shuge would ask these questions, so she quickly gave Shuge a reply: "Even Merlin Lehe only owns an incomplete copy of this classic."
While he guided Xiuge and Wei Lin towards the interior of the hotel, he introduced the various sculptures, trees and unique decorations on the roadside in non-repetitive terms. When talking about certain sculptures, he would introduce two sentences about their creations.
He could even tell them which sculptors were currently living in Bolden, and which of them would hold their own sculpture exhibitions in the near future...
"Mr. Shuge, what do you think?"
Wei Lin was obviously not interested in learning about these things at this time, so she interrupted the other party's introduction: "Can you please tell me about the situation in the hotel."
"on the way?"
This time, the elf receptionist gave a negative answer: "Sorry, Adlon Hotel must protect the personal and privacy safety of all customers, and the booker is naturally among the customers."
Facing Shuge's question, the young soldier who only knew that he was on a mission shrugged: "I don't know that, Mr. Ernst, but..."
Therefore, Duden did not say anything more, but stood upright beside Shuge with a weapon on his back. Like the other soldiers participating in the escort, he transformed into a sculpture standing in the snow.
Xiuge looked along and saw two men wearing black dresses and iris brooches sitting on a chair with gloomy faces. One of them kept taking out his pocket watch to check, seeming a little anxious.
"Here too, of course."
"What?"
In fact, for a soldier of the Chasseur Regiment, this behavior is no different from violating the regulations.
Especially after seeing several wealthy goblin businessmen covered in various gold ornaments, Shuge felt more and more that the exquisite decoration of the Adlon Hotel was probably just an accident.
"Mr. and Madam of the Ernst family, I am Finn, the receptionist at the Adlon Hotel. I am very happy to receive two distinguished guests today..."
Xiuge nodded, but then he cast a doubtful look at Weilin: "But, Miss Weilin, why are you here?"
Just like all the mountain elves residents on the Luowei Plateau, he has a tall body and a thin face. Of course, he also has a pair of pointed ears that are different from humans.
Although they still didn't understand the specific situation, Xiuge and the two had no other choice at this time, so they looked at each other and followed the elf receptionist forward.
As she spoke, the female mage sighed with some regret: "In short, even in the collection community, the manuscript of "Poetry of the Night" does not have any popularity. Even if it is sold at a low price, no one may be willing to buy it."
Weilin turned her face sideways and rolled her eyes covertly: "Your family is willing to use the manuscript of the first volume of "Poetry of the Night" as a reward. I haven't received the reward yet, so naturally I have no way to leave."
"The commission I received is to bring a living Shuge Ernst back to the Ernst Manor."
Wei Lin sighed: "However, he suffered a lot in order to remove the necrotic parts of his thigh... Sally would probably have to spend a lot of energy and money to rejuvenate her uncle's body.
"
"Is Schubert okay?"
As Finn introduced, the two of them had already experienced the most attentive service attitude at the Adlon Hotel before they checked in. The only restrictions were the revolver that Shuge carried and Weilin's magic book.
Being locked into a long metal box mixed with magic silver by the guards is something that all guests who carry weapons need to experience.
Finn said with a smile.
"All right."
The etiquette of the elf receptionist was very good. Although his voice was not pleasant, it was sincere: "The identity and residence certificate of the two have been verified. According to the reservation situation, the Adlon Hotel will prepare VIP class for the two of them.
Deluxe room, I hope you both enjoy your stay.”
"Books, important magic books."
Although Shuge had heard Weilin say before that one of the main reasons why she accepted the commission was that the Ernst family gave her reasons that she could not refuse.
As he spoke, Finn turned his head slightly and cast his gaze into the distance.
"Just because you two are in Adlon."
The two soldiers of the Chasseur Regiment who were guarding the side came forward together. They took out a certificate and exchanged it with the elf wearing a hotel uniform. After verifying the accuracy of the magic emblems on each other's certificates, the two soldiers
Then he stepped aside.
Judging from Finn's demeanor and tone, he has obviously regarded himself as a citizen of Votel for a long time.
To be precise, they are mountain elves.
This is an elf.
Only one number is missing to match the "phantom murder room" in Xiuge's memory.
"Where is the Kingdom of Delan?"
Wei Lin is still wearing the coat, and her body is flashing with magical light used to block low temperatures. Those dark red glimmers tell you that they are very warm at a glance.
After entering the room and locking the door, the two of them checked the entire luxury suite in a tacit understanding.
The mountain elf stood in front of Xiuge and the two, then bowed and saluted.
"Well……"
"So, Miss Wei Lin's pursuit of "Poetry of the Night" is to study those lost ancient magics?"
Weilin looked away. She obviously didn't want to continue the topic of "Poetry of the Night", so she raised her hand and pointed to the door of the Adlon Hotel: "Mr. Sugar, it seems that someone has come to pick you up."
Like painting everything gold or something.
Wei Lin expressed her doubts. As a "former magic consultant" of the Legal Committee, her tone at this time naturally brought a sense of oppression: "As guests of the hotel, if we cannot connect the room reservation person's
If you can’t know your identity, how can you stay here safely?”
"This is very contradictory."
Finn smiled and said: "And sometimes, confidentiality itself is also a kind of protection for customers. I hope you two can understand."
The elf nodded patiently, and he immediately ended the conversation about the surrounding decorations and sculptures, and changed the topic smoothly: "You two should know that the kingdom currently has some... um, small friction externally, so the recent exchanges with Adlon
There are many foreign guests in the hotel, and envoys from allied countries such as Hain and St. Steele are currently here."
At this time, Shuge and the two of them had followed Finn into an extremely grand and luxurious hall, and Shuge asked in a timely manner: "Mr. Finn, can you tell us about our room?"
She slowly came to Shuge's side holding the magic book. She gently pulled the scarf around her neck, and then said: "Sally took Schubert and her teacher to the Medical Association."
Shuge turned his head and saw a figure in a straight uniform walking out, accompanied by a group of hotel guards. The leader's eyes quickly fixed on Shuge, and then he led everyone to walk quickly.
.
After confirming that there was no surveillance magic or other messy things here, Shuge and Wei Lin sat down face to face in the living room of the suite.
He looked around and confirmed that no one else was paying attention to him, then said in a lowered voice: "We were indeed planning to go to the Ernst Manor, but we received the order halfway, so we came here instead."
Finally, after many attempts and inquiries to no avail, Xiuge and the two finally followed the elf receptionist to the VIP suite, room number 1049.
Hearing Xiuge's words, Weilin chuckled: "However, "Poetry of the Night" is worthless."
At this time, all the soldiers of the Chasseur Regiment who were responsible for escorting Shuge also began to leave, including Duden. The young guard smiled at Shuge, and then followed his comrades.
Embarked on the return journey.
"With all due respect, owning something that is too precious can easily bring disaster to people."
"Weird..."
Shuge shook his head, and then expressed his judgment: "There is no restriction on the residence time, the identity of the person who booked the room is kept secret, and according to Duden, the reason why we are here is because the Chasseur Regiment is halfway there.
We received new orders... We were indeed going to the Ernst Manor."
"This means that it is very likely that someone outside the Ernst family knows about our itinerary. Maybe they have something important to do with us, or maybe they have some other purpose. In short, they conveyed their orders to the Chasseur Regiment.
, and booked a room temporarily and brought us here.”
Wei Lin nodded, and she added: "And it seems that the person who gave the order is more important in the eyes of the Chasseurs than the Ernst family and the old marshal... Well, in the Kingdom of Walter, what?
