Roman looked up at the wooden signboard, with a lovely blush on his fair face due to the cool night. Even in early summer, the night temperature in the mountainous areas was still very low.
A mottled galloping horse was painted on the wooden signboard that had been soaked black by wind and rain. She didn't recognize the words written on it, but Roman guessed it was here. She put her hands on her precious leather bag and raised her head.
I rubbed the ground with my round-toe boots and hesitated for a while - it should be here, right? What is that Galloping Horse Hotel?
As the alarm bell rang in the distance, a group of guards passed by her. However, the businesswoman was not too scared. Instead, she looked at these guards curiously and watched them walk away. The alarm bell finally stopped and she let out a small breath.
, then turned back and walked into the hotel.
The owner of the Galloping Horse Inn is a dwarf, just like the description in the story - he has a long beard the color of ripe wheat, with bunches of whips tied on it and bound by brass rings -
-Those rings all have allusions, and the patterns printed on them are, of course, writings in the stone, the writing of the dwarves. What is written on them is the name of the family, and each ring is a person's origin. Famous ones such as "Fire"
Households such as 'Shou', 'Stone Seal' and 'Luxury Jewelry' may even use precious and heavy gold rings.
These rings are as much a source of pride for the dwarves as their beards. The dwarves’ families have a history of more than a thousand years, and they proudly wear these rings while walking around and making jingling sounds. But in human society, dwarves
Unusually, Gunn Barbarossa Yanting, the owner of the Galloping Horse Inn, made good use of this advantage - he deliberately dressed himself up as a big shot, paid people to discuss it in private, and then denied it himself. People
He always came to visit this mysterious dwarf lord out of curiosity, and there was an endless stream of people visiting him. Naturally, Gunn's business grew and grew.
Gunn was wearing a silk robe today, with three ruby rings, an opal ring and an emerald ring on his short, fat fingers. If it weren't for his nephew - of course, it was a human being, Gunn would have been able to
When establishing a foothold in human society, there will naturally be some human relationships. As for why dwarves have a human relative, this matter probably took three days and three nights to explain. So our focus is - he is a member of the White Mane Legion.
The nephew who was serving was holding his shoulder and giving him instructions one by one. There was a companion beside the young man, and the two of them seemed to have been here for a while.
"You mean if I see a little girl, no matter what she asks, I have to agree to her first? But why, what if she asks me to give her all my family property? No, no, this proposal sounds too stupid.
Already." The dwarf boss shook his head and muttered.
"Uncle Gunn, listen to me. I'm not asking you to give her your property, but to prepare a carriage for her so as not to make her suspicious. Then prepare another one for us to follow her."
"Just a carriage?" Gunn stared at his nephew suspiciously with his small eyes.
"certainly."
"Okay, will she pay?"
The young man from the White Mane Legion sighed, and knowing his uncle's temper, he hurriedly said: "Of course she can, but don't bargain too hard with her. Don't scare her away, as long as Uncle Gunn is willing to help.
, this credit must be mine, do you understand?"
"I still don't understand, but do you like that girl? Then I can consider giving you a 9.95% discount."
"No, that's not it! It's actually like this. That girl is actually Madara's spy. They escaped from the dungeon and must be in a hurry to get out of the city. Captain Luc Besson asked us to come out and keep an eye on every possible channel for them to get out of the city -
—”
"Then why didn't you just capture her?" Gunn asked strangely.
Parker slapped his forehead and sighed: "Uncle Gunn, she has many accomplices. In order to catch them all, we have to find a way to relax their vigilance and follow them quietly! Do you understand?"
"Still don't quite understand."
"Well, in short, don't worry, Uncle Gunn, I will help make up for the money she underpaid."
"Relax your vigilance and meet her request? I understand if you say so." The dwarf boss nodded.
However, although he was very fussy, the work was still done very quickly. After a while, the waiter was called to give orders, and he ran back and asked: "I have made arrangements, when will the girl come?"
"I don't know either. I hope she will come to us first. I can't let that guy Grantham look down on me." The young man sighed, but felt that his companion was patting him on the shoulder. He raised his head
When he looked outside, he jumped up excitedly. He immediately pushed the dwarf forward: "That's her, she's here! Come on, uncle, it's up to you!"
"Relax, young man. Don't push me forward like a bag of potatoes. I've been in business for thirty years, so of course I know what to do." Gunn didn't forget to boast at the last moment.
When Roman walked into the hotel, she couldn't help but look around curiously. She had never seen this kind of architectural decoration style with extensive use of stone before. She could see the low walls and pillars of the stone walls, and she felt a sense of familiarity in her heart.
The future business lady was looking around when she saw a dwarf with a beard that almost touched the ground standing in front of her.
"Are you a dwarf?" she asked.
"No, I am a dwarf." The innkeeper corrected him seriously.
"Mr. Short, are you the boss here?"
"It's a dwarf, not a short person. Little girl, do you understand? - Of course, I am the boss here."
"But I'm looking for a place to rent a carriage. Do you rent carriages here?"
"Of course, otherwise what do you think I am doing here."
"Do I need to pay?" Roman was still looking at the hotel curiously.
"Of course, the principle of doing business is to clear the money and goods. We charge according to the number of days the guest rents, but in principle, the Galloping Horse Hotel generally does not provide rentals for more than one day away from the city. And if the carriage is damaged due to the guests
, we have to claim compensation according to the price. In fact, our coachman still has the right to refuse orders that may threaten his life and safety. Of course, this article is invalid if it conflicts with the previous article..." When it comes to business,
Gunn started talking non-stop.
"How much does it cost if I rent it for just half a day?"
"Thirty Thors."
Roman took out a blue-gray bag, shook it in his hand, and two or three copper coins fell out. She raised her head and asked with a flawless face: "But I only have so much money, can I?"
Can you rent it?"
"You can rent a wheel..." Gunn originally wanted to answer this, but he suddenly remembered his nephew's words and changed his mind: "Okay, although there is a little missing - little girl, when do you plan to get a car?"
"
"I need it right now, how do I find my car?"
"The car is parked at the back. This is your number plate. You can find your car with it. By the way, do you want me to take you there?" Gunn heartbrokenly handed over a bronze plate. He remembered that he had
I haven't done a loss-making business in many years.
"No, there are some friends outside. I have to ask their opinions. Can we settle the bill first?"
"Of course, getting money and goods is my favorite thing." Gunn wiped his forehead, feeling that this business really went against his principles. But for the sake of his nephew, of course, the main thing is to see that he can get compensation.
For his own sake, he reluctantly did it once.
On the other side, the dwarf's nephew Parker and his friends were hiding in the kitchen. They saw Roman walking out of the hotel with a satisfied look on his face. Then they ran out together, grabbed his uncle and asked, "How's it going? Did you succeed?"
"Of course, you don't know who your uncle Gunn is. I used to do business with the greedy ogre." The dwarf couldn't help but repeat the previous details. But when Parker heard this, he was stunned.
The forehead shouted: "Martha, Uncle Gunn, what did you do, she must know we are here! She will not go to your carriage, Uncle Gunn, we have messed up the matter!"
"What's wrong?"
"How can a businessman do business regardless of gains and losses? One-tenth of the price, Uncle Gunn, you are too kind! I didn't expect that woman to be so smart. She must have been suspicious from the beginning. What else did she say?"
People didn't expect that their uncle would do bad things with good intentions, and he looked annoyed.
"She said she was going to ask her companions for their opinion."
"Companion?" Parker and his companion looked at each other and immediately chased out together. The dwarf boss was left behind and shouted: "I said wait, you two little bastards, where is the money you promised me!"
He was so angry that he groaned: "Today's young people have no respect for the elderly." But when he turned around, he saw the waiter from his shop running over, bending down and saying to him: "Big boss, you arranged it."
The carriage has already driven away."
"The carriage I arranged? What carriage did I arrange?" Gunn felt like he was getting angry and looked at his waiter in confusion for a moment.
"It's the one you said she would meet any request she has."
"Speaking of which, that lady is so beautiful and has a good personality. Is she Master Parker's lover?" the waiter also praised.
"What!" The dwarf looked at him with cannibalistic eyes.
…
"Miss, where are we going?"
The carriage moved forward with the sound of the wheels, and the scenery on both sides of the window quickly receded. All this made the girl feel strange, but the question soon came from outside the carriage——
"I like to see the scenery. Let's go to the south gate first. Then we will go around to the north gate. Are there any scenery along the way?"
"Of course, we should pass by the Everton Knight's mansion."
"Everton, who is that?"
"Everton Knight, that's a famous hero..."
When Brando and Charles climbed all the way to the spire of the Uson Castle tower, they couldn't help but gasped when they looked down. It was dark outside and the aristocratic private soldiers almost surrounded the castle.
The soldiers held torches, and the dots of flames connected together, like a fire dragon coiling outside the moat of Yusong Castle.
The private soldiers of the nobles have already broken through the city gate, entered the outer courtyard, and will soon enter the castle. The loud noise made by the wind bullet technique made these nobles realize that something is wrong, and they began to prepare for a storm.
When Brando and his young wizard retinue saw the scene below, they couldn't help but look a little unhappy. It seemed like a miracle to break out of the encirclement - although they had gargoyles to rely on, the gargoyles could not carry two people.
Not necessarily flying high.
Brando held his breath and became nervous with uncertainty. He pointed at another fire dragon in the distance and said, "Did you see it? The White Mane Army is also coming -"
