Ivester checked carefully and found that the guy at the front desk was not fooling him - there really was no hot water in the room.
Not only was there no hot water, there was no way to boil water. There was no stove in the room, and there was no place to take a shower.
…After all, this is Avalon sixty years ago, so it’s reasonable.
Judging from the hot dishes available here, at least the kitchen can still boil water. It's just that they don't provide it to guests...most likely they are still burning firewood.
Aiwass deeply realized what great deeds Queen Sophia had done - without the popularization of alchemy, the equipment in Avalon Township would have been no different from the Middle Ages.
There are no electric lights, no telephones, no hot water... there is not even a gas stove in the guest room. The price of the fireplace cannot be reduced at all.
Fortunately, the body Aiwass used was relatively strong, and they wouldn't stay overnight. So they didn't have to worry about colds and fevers.
Fortunately, there are clean towels in the room.
Aiwass tried it and wanted to use lighting to heal Daiya's body.
As expected... Weizhe's ritual was indeed very demanding, and Aiwass couldn't use the illumination technique at all. In other words, he had no magic power in his body.
...Tsk.
Also, if he could use the lighting technique, the mission would not require him to find medicine.
However, Aiwass was not panicked. He had gained extraordinary powers not long ago, and he was not yet in the habit of relying too much on his extraordinary abilities.
Unlike those senior extraordinary beings who have become accustomed to the existence of extraordinary abilities, this may be regarded as Aiwass's strength.
He first helped his "daughter" Daiya dry her hair, and let the sleepy and listless girl rest in the quilt first. Then he wiped his body and dried the water on his hair. Then he put on his own clothes.
of underwear.
——He had checked when he entered the room before, and there were no pajamas provided in this room either.
"This shabby hotel really doesn't want anything..."
Aiwass complained that he didn't even have hot water to drink - but he found a barrel of low-alcohol wine.
This surprised Aiwass.
He twisted the wine tap, took a glass of wine for himself, and drank it all in one gulp.
Aiwass smacked his lips.
Surprisingly, even for Aiwass's food aesthetic, the taste of this wine is pretty good - considering the poor service provided by this hotel, it is already considered to be the highest quality content.
"Let's deal with it like this first."
Aiwass made up his mind.
He drank two more glasses in a row and felt that his body was slowly warming up. Although he knew that this was actually an illusion caused by alcohol, he was at least mentally better - he hadn't drank water for a long time and his throat was dry. Use
It is better to use low-alcohol alcohol to quench your thirst than drinking raw water directly.
He hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should feed Diya some wine.
But he quickly gave up the idea.
Just ask the front desk for hot soup. And you might leave this floor soon...
But if you want to go out, you still need to find some clothes.
"...Do I have to wear this clothes?"
Aiwass frowned, looking at his soaked coat, feeling a little dizzy.
He took a look at "Agni"'s travel bag. It was also wet from the rain, and he didn't know what was inside.
Logically speaking, no one should bring a change of clothes with them on a same-day trip...but let's take a look first.
But after opening the travel bag, Aiwass was surprised to find that there was actually a set of folded clothes inside.
There are shirts and sweaters. The styles are quite exquisite and the materials are good.
Because of the folding, the edges are a little wet, but it's better than what's on the body. At least it shouldn't be a big problem if it's worn close to the body.
"……Um?"
But after Aiwass unfolded the clothes, he discovered something unusual.
I saw a little blood stained in the middle of the back of these two pieces of clothing - and a small hole.
Aiwass reached out and touched it, putting his finger in front of him. A touch of red was clearly visible on his fingertips.
I don’t know if it’s because the rain has wet the travel bag, but the blood stains still look a little wet.
Avas suddenly became serious and reached out to touch his back. He found that his back was intact and not injured.
"So to say……"
Aiwass murmured lowly, turned the travel bag upside down, and spilled all the contents inside.
There were also folded trousers in the bag, which looked like the same coat that he had used to protect Daiya before; there was also a large envelope, with stacks of brand-new white crown coins leaking out of it; there was a silver pocket watch, style
Very beautiful.
Aiwass snapped open his pocket watch.
The needle points to 5:11.
It must be five o'clock in the afternoon, Aiwass thought.
And, if that’s the case…
Aiwass rummaged through his bag carefully and quickly pulled out a gun from his folded pants.
……really.
He put on his clothes and pants first. He felt his body gradually getting warmer and breathed a sigh of relief. He sat down and began to study the gun.
It was a rather exquisite revolver, with a capacity of five rounds. The handle of the shell was also partially decorated with silver carvings, with fine Elvish runes engraved on it.
In the dream, Aiwass couldn't call out his own panel, and couldn't see the attributes of the equipment. He didn't understand alchemy either. But Aiwass looked at it based on his knowledge of rituals and demonology, and reluctantly judged... This
It seems to be a specially-made firearm used for hunting demons. It can cause higher damage to dark attribute demons.
How could a teacher have such a thing?
He swung the wheel to the left and found that a bullet had been fired, leaving a disc-shaped brass residue.
Aiwass was thoughtful, turning the wheel one frame at a time. At the same time, he was lost in thought.
"...remembering my true identity."
Aiwass frowned slightly as he thought of the mission "The Real Me".
My memory... is wrong. It should be said that there is something wrong with Agni's memory?
He stared at the gun in his hand, and suddenly heard a very soft voice from behind: "Dad...?"
"...why aren't you wearing any clothes?"
Aiwass turned around and put the pistol on his waist.
I saw that Dai Ya had opened her eyes, huddled in the quilt and was looking at herself.
It was a little girl with fine, soft brown hair and blue eyes. She was timid and looked very cute.
He said gently: "Are you feeling better, Daya?"
"Yeah. I feel like my head doesn't hurt so much anymore..."
The girl said timidly.
"You still have to take a rest. Don't get out of bed. I'll get you some hot soup."
Aiwass said, putting the clothes he had changed into his bag. He shook his leather coat vigorously and shook the water to the floor. Then he put on the coat and covered the holes in his back.
And hid the gun at his waist.
Afterwards, Aiwass opened the door and left the room.
At this time, a lot of people seemed to have come to the hotel. When he went out, he saw someone quarreling next door... They even kept the door open, and a young woman was standing at the door, arguing with the people inside.
What are you wearing?
When they saw Aiwass pushing the door open and coming out, the quarrel ended immediately.
The woman looked at Aiwass warily and distantly, immediately walked into the room, and closed the door and locked it.
Aiwass raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
He stood quietly at the door and listened for a while, his tall body casting a silent shadow. As a result, there was no sound at all in the room, not even a whisper.
--interesting.
Aiwass grinned and sneered silently. Then he walked generously downstairs.
