Chapter 10 Is the welcome ceremony a goblin’s banquet?
After briefly tasting Miss Shelia's masterpiece, everyone spoke highly of it, especially a certain golden retriever maid who was the most enthusiastic. Even the bartender herself felt a little embarrassed when she praised her to the end, with a handsome face.
A hint of drunken blush passed over her, and after coughing twice, she changed the topic.
"In short," she took out the registration book and quill pen from the counter drawer, handed them to Linge, and said, "Guests, please register your information first, and then I will arrange a room for you. Although you are Xiaoxia
Invited guests, but this is also a necessary procedure for the hotel, please understand."
Lin Ge naturally would not object. He turned the registration book to the latest page, and then used a rough and worn quill to write his name, race, origin, occupation and check-in time on the paper. By the way,
I also registered personal information for Metien and Alice.
You can see that above their names, there are also information left by other guests. If you omit the names, the contents are all kinds of strange: the night ghost from the Sicilia Peninsula, whose occupation is "late night poet";
Alcane at the northern foot of the mountain range calls himself the "ferryman"; the tree-dwelling spirit from Solsos, the "Iron Wall City" of the Federation of Cardialo, writes that he is "very good at sleeping"; and the city of Rosting
The local residents, the wind fairies with the name "Elder"... almost no repetitions, made Ringer realize for the first time that in addition to humans, there are so many alien races in the world.
Some of them have never even appeared in the bards' ditties or the villagers' country tales. They live quietly on this planet, keeping a cautious distance from humans. What is this deliberate alienation?
Is it based on race or differences in stance?
Ringer didn't intend to delve too deeply. He noticed that the last guest who came to the hotel was the wind fairy who filled in the word "elder" in the registration book. Her check-in time can be traced back to December 1799.
On the 3rd, six years have passed.
In the past six years, there have been no new guests in the Goblin Deep Sleep Hotel, until one day, three humans in an ignorant manner broke into the sycamore tree where the goblins lived.
It sounds like a fairy tale.
He handed the registration book and the quill back to Shelia's hand. The latter took it and took a look at it, nodding slightly: "Mr. Ringer, Miss Metien and Miss Alice? They are all human beings... For this hotel
For us, humans are indeed rare guests. Of course, we will not treat them differently because of this, so please rest assured."
She drew a stroke under each person's name and added: "For some reason, there are no other guests in the hotel right now, so there are many empty rooms to choose from. However, I recommend that you choose a room on the third floor, where there is a connection to the outside world.
With the magic window, you can enjoy the scenery of the park without being noticed, and the light comes entirely from sunlight; more importantly, it is quiet enough, so you don’t have to worry about noise disturbance. What do you think?"
Although he didn't know what she meant by "noise disturbance", Ringer didn't want to ask more, nodded in agreement, and automatically ignored Alice's "I want to live in a deluxe suite".
"In that case," Shelia took out the key from the drawer, handed it to her sister across the counter, and warned, "Xiemi, please take a few guests to choose rooms. Remember to keep your voice down, the eldest sister is still taking a nap upstairs.
, don’t wake her up.”
"Okay!"
Xie Mi took the key and nodded vigorously in agreement. She was about to invite the Ringers and the others to follow her upstairs. Suddenly, there was a creaking sound from the wooden stairs, accompanied by a soft and soothing voice that made people feel very relaxed.
Female voice: "Oh, it's so lively~ Shelia, Semi, who are you talking to?"
Everyone subconsciously turned their attention to the staircase, where the sound came from.
A girl stepped on the wooden steps and walked down slowly.
She looks older than Ringer, with a tall and slender figure. She wears an elegant long skirt with pleated lace and lace decorations. The palace style is exquisite and gorgeous, with a rose flower lace at the neckline, and a black
The soft gauze hat and silk white gloves, the whole person's dress reflects an elegant and noble style.

Her silver, silky long hair brushes her waist. It doesn't hang down to her ankles like Xie Mi's, who is beautiful but too weak. It's also not like Shelia who only reaches her earlobes, who's heroic but too sharp. It's neither long nor short, just right.
It is a moderate and generous choice; her clear blue eyes are always half-closed, with a warm smile, which makes people want to get close to her.
He clearly has the same appearance as Xie Mi and Shelia, but with the clothes and temperament, he is more mature and calm. It can even be said that he has a certain charm that has accumulated over the years, even if he suddenly talks about ancient poetry or
No one will find it awkward to watch a classical musical.
Behind her are the iconic translucent butterfly wings of the Traveler Fairy, but unlike her two sisters, she has three pairs of butterfly wings.
"Sister!"
Seeing her coming down the stairs, Semi and Shelia shouted in unison.
The other party also responded with a smile: "Good afternoon, Xie Mi, Shelia, you have worked hard in the morning, I will take over the next shift. By the way, are these guests...human beings? It's really strange, I'm going to
The last time we came into contact with humans was more than fifty years ago."
More than fifty years ago... I always felt like she casually said an incredible number.
Xie Mi quickly introduced: "They are the friends Xiaoxia mentioned, staying overnight in the hotel temporarily. Well, this is Miss Alice, this is Miss Metien, and Mr. Ringer."
"That's it." The girl just walked down the stairs, raised the hem of her skirt with both hands, bent her knees slightly, and greeted the three Ringers. Her movements and posture were more dignified and formal than those of the ten generations of ancient nobles in Renweiting:
"Hello, I am the owner of the Fairy Sleep Inn, and also the sister of Semi and Xelia, Siesta. Please give me your advice."
The three sisters of the Fairy Sleep Inn, Semi, Shelia and Siesta, serve as maids, waiters and proprietresses respectively.
It seems to be based on age?
Ringer nodded politely as a response, while Metien and Alice raised their hands in unison and said hello to her.
After greeting each other, Shesta said happily: "Since it is the friend introduced by Xiaoxia, we must treat him well, otherwise Xiaoxia will be very sad."
Shelia behind the counter replied: "I have arranged a room for them, it is on the third floor..."
"No, no, no, Shelia, you're not thoughtful enough." The considerate landlady shook her head repeatedly and told her sister: "Arranging a room is just the most basic courtesy. You must show more sincerity to reflect it.
Our passion.”
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Lin Ge saw a hint of helplessness flash in the bartender's eyes: "Then, what do you think we should do, sister?"
"Well, let me think about it."
Shesta tapped her lips with a finger and fell into thinking. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shemi kept winking to several guests, telling them to follow her quickly. If they didn't leave, it would be too late.
Unfortunately, perhaps because they had just met, the cooperation between the two parties was not tacit enough, and it was even impossible to convey complex messages with their eyes. Therefore, both Lin Ge and Metien ignored the hints in her eyes, and only
Alice noticed it, but she just asked with concern: "Are your eyes cramped?"
Miss Xie Mi almost cried, maybe she was touched by her thoughtfulness.
At this moment, the landlady finally thought of a good idea. She closed her palms with a "snap" and her eyebrows curled into crescent moons happily: "I thought of it!"
Finished.
A tired expression appeared on Xie Mi's face.
While Ringer and the others were confused, the landlady had already reached out and took out a delicate and small brass bell from her sleeve, and then shook it gently.
Jingle bell, jingle bell.
The clear and sweet sound of bells immediately echoed throughout the entire hotel. It was clearly a limited space, but it seemed like an infinite echo, empty and distant, coming from the horizon and in front of you.
"Everyone at the hotel——"
There is also the warm and gentle call of the landlady: "To welcome the guests who come from afar."
