It was about ten o'clock in the evening, when Elaine and others sat down in the living room of the hotel, Landlady Senezel came out with a pot of black tea to welcome the guests.
Although the outside of the hotel is a bit unprepossessing, the interior decoration is still clean and tidy. And the tea served by the landlord is quite particular. It has a refreshing and mellow aroma and is as clear and transparent red as ruby.
"Thank you." Bailey picked up the cup and drank it without thinking, and put several sugar cubes into the tea.
"Drink, drink tea and eat sweets...can you, can you sleep at night?" Elaine complained.
"Just drink a little bit. This is the best Sudan Sunset black tea, one of the highest-grade black teas available in the world. If you don't drink it, you will be punished by God." The little fox said with a smile, drinking the tea gracefully.
"You understand, kid." The landlord turned to look at Daniel: "I smell blood. Are you injured?"
"It's just a skin injury. It's not a problem." Daniel replied.
"Listen, it's my fault for mentioning [Red Croesus] to you." Old man Senezel continued: "I did expect you to explore the way to the warrior's tomb, but I didn't expect it.
You would take these people, even a child, into the Warriors' Tomb. What on earth are you thinking, do you not know how to act appropriately?"
Elaine was drinking tea on the side and did not interrupt. But it turned out that Senezel was secretly pulling the strings. No wonder Daniel would go to a place like the Warriors' Tomb late at night.
"No, I didn't expect there to be other people in the warriors' tomb. I didn't bring them there, they just appeared there." Daniel said, "My fault...?"
"That's fine." The landlord shook his head: "Anyway, you're fine. Have you met [Red Crosus]?"
"Meet."
"What?!"
"Then he was killed by this guy." The white-haired boy pointed at Elaine, the white lion boy sitting next to him.
"Little bear..." Senezel looked at Elaine, and then muttered meaningfully at a volume that almost only he could hear: "Could it be...that the [White Saint] in the prophecy refers to this?"
Bit……"
"Huh?" Elaine frowned.
"No. It's nothing." The landlord changed his words: "Have you encountered any strange phenomena among the warriors' tombs?"
"Weird, vision?"
"Recently, there should be a [change period] every three thousand years. Some of the systems that manage the warriors' tombs will sprout new shoots. That's why I asked this British knight to confirm." The landlord said: "It would be great if we can find new shoots."
Already."
[bud]?
Elaine frowned again. Speaking of which, old man Senezel seemed to be related to the Druid religion in Great Britain. His hotel was a hotel on the surface, but in fact, the hotel was a side business, and its main business was the meeting place of the Druid religion.
.The underground passage of this hotel can lead to the gathering place of the Druids in a cave underground.
The landlord had asked Elaine to do things for him before, which were all Druid errands. At that time, Elaine had just returned to Great Britain and was wandering around like a vagabond. It was on the street that he met Sai.
Olin, the granddaughter of old man Nezer, was brought here to settle down (and work by the way).
"Well... in the hidden area that appeared after the floor collapsed, I saw glowing white trees." Daniel recalled: "The specific situation is not clear. The environment was too dark at the time. What is the sprout you mentioned?
, what’s the use?”
"Don't worry about it. It's just the seed that leads to paradise in Druid legend." Senezel said: "You can see the glowing tree, and the arrival of new buds should not be far away. Since [red gram
Losos] Don’t destroy it, that’s just right. I will inform the Druids to send an exploration team to investigate. Thank you for your hard work. Anyway, let’s have a good rest tonight.”
He turned around and looked at Elaine: "As for your side, two rooms? How long will you stay?"
"No, one, a double room is fine for one night." Elaine said. He planned to sleep on the same bed with Bailey and Queeg on the other. But with Leopard's weird character, he probably had to sleep on the same bed.
Open the tent in the room to sleep.
"I understand. Just one silver coin." The landlord said, "Tonight plus tomorrow, it's actually two days. You can stay until noon the day after tomorrow before leaving."
Elaine did not bargain, but directly took out a silver coin and paid the hotel fee.
"Huh? When Olin picked you up, you were still a dirty homeless kid. Now you are so wealthy?" the landlord said with a smile.
Although he was unhappy, the White Lion boy did not respond, because it was all true. Even if he returned to Great Britain to participate in the Round Table Trial, Elaine, who had run out of travel expenses and had to sell herself to pay for the ship, arrived.
When he was in Great Britain, he was dirty and smelly. He was basically no different from a real tramp, or even worse. If Olin hadn't picked him up, his life would have been even worse.
…But that was all in the past. Now that his dark history was mentioned by Senezel’s landlord in front of Bailey, Elaine was really uncomfortable.
"Don't slander big brother." The blue fox boy argued for Elaine: "You must have recognized the wrong person, old man."
"Really? Even that's good." The landlord smiled and put down the key to a room: "The third room upstairs. Don't run into the room next to it by mistake. You don't want to see what's inside."
."
There are nothing more than ghosts in this "haunted" hotel. Or spirits, or something like that. Elaine even has her own Holy Spirit, and there is nothing to be afraid of other spirits...probably.
"Go, go get some rest." Elaine was indeed very sleepy, so let's get some sleep tonight.
"Heh." The little fox also yawned, rinsed his mouth with water from another cup on the side, and then followed Elaine upstairs. Queeg also followed behind. This cloud-patterned leopard has been silent since just now.
, looked at this hotel carefully and seemed to feel very fresh.
"This is the Druids' sanctuary?" After going upstairs, Queeg suddenly asked.
"You, you know about Druidry?"
"Well, they came to preach during the war. They are a bunch of weirdos." Leopard replied: "He helped the human coalition treat their injuries, but also helped the dragon tribe. Help both sides. Neither of them will be offended."
Doesn't the meaning of helping both sides mean that both sides are offended? Why is it that neither side is offended? Elaine is very confused. But in short, there is no big problem with Queeg's logic.
The Gaia tribe is originally a pacifist. The descendants of the Gaia tribe, elves and druids, are both races that advocate peace. It is said that the druids were originally human beings and chose to accept the gifts given by the Gaia tribe and work with nature.
Symbiosis, becoming a half-human, half-plant existence; and the elves are purely the creation of the Gaia tribe, just like humans are the creations of the ancient gods and humans. The elves even had good relations with the dragon tribe, even during the ancient dragon-slaying war.
There was no particularly big conflict with the dragons. According to Constantine and others, the Dragon Emperor Titans even left the earth with the elves and went to the home planet of the elves (Gaia), Planet Eli.
Sen went. Of course, Elison was eventually destroyed because of the darkness, and the elves took it upon themselves to blow up the planet infected by the dark particles.
"Is my room next to yours?" Daniel said, "Next to it is my subordinate's room. He has recently undergone surgery and is still recovering. Please don't disturb him. I'll take care of what you have to do tomorrow."
I'll make some arrangements for you. Good night then."
"Night, good night." Elaine nodded, said goodbye to Daniel, and opened the door and entered the room.
Just as he expected, although the outside of the hotel was not that good, the rooms inside the hotel were neatly tidied, and the sheets and quilts were quite clean.
"I'm exhausted." The little fox lay on the bed as soon as he entered: "Phew! What a soft bed, hehe."
"First, take off your shoes." Elaine warned, and also sat on the bed. On the other hand, Quigg was (as expected) unfolding the automatic tent.
"You, are you really not tired?" Elaine asked in confusion.
"This gives me a sense of security." Leopard replied: "The room is too big and uneasy. The space is small but comfortable."
It's probably the same reason as cats like to crawl into cardboard boxes. Leopards are also big cats, so they're all the same.
Elaine thought to herself. But he is also a big cat now, but he doesn't seem to have a habit of digging into cardboard boxes. And the cat people he has met (mainly Mutt) don't have this strange habit. Only this group of leopard people have special preferences.
So special.
But Elaine was too lazy to care about it. Because of the injury, he was quite sleepy at this time, and his body was telling him to rest more to repair the broken bone. So he lay on the bed, hugged Bailey, and covered himself with
She got on the quilt, closed her eyes, and tried to take a nap. The fluffy and soft little fox also hugged Elaine and crawled into the white lion boy's arms.
"Have you ever gone to the bathroom properly?" Elaine asked in a low voice, "Don't wet the bed again."
"It's okay, I've been there before." The little fox said with a smile, "You're the big brother, don't wet the bed."
The joke wasn't funny, so Elaine didn't respond. But he suddenly became worried, so he got up again: "I, I'd better go to the bathroom first."
Bailey was laughing there.
At this point, Elaine's journey has almost come to an end. Starting from Edinburgh, he decided to leave Bailey and Queeg behind and go to Greenland by himself. He only had to wait until tomorrow to finish all the things to be dealt with, and then he and
Bailey said goodbye. Elaine was still hesitating whether it was better to say goodbye before leaving, or to leave without saying goodbye. Bailey should stick to Elaine and would not let the white lion boy leave alone easily. In that case, say goodbye
Will it be more painful?
Leave a letter and then leave without saying goodbye? Perhaps, this is more suitable. Elaine is not good at writing letters, and he has to think carefully about what to write in the letter.
Just after urinating in the public restroom on the second floor, Elaine shuddered and the short lion hair on his body stood up; someone passed by him, it was a gray rabbit man.
Elaine felt that the gray bunny young man looked a bit familiar, so she paid more attention.
"Good evening." Sabo nodded politely, then walked to the urinal aside and started to relieve himself.
Could this bunnyman be what Daniel said was his subordinate? The Knights of Great Britain actually recruited orcs, and bunnymen at that, to be knights?
"Good evening." Elaine felt that it might be rude to continue staring at the other person, so she quickly washed her hands and turned around to leave.
"Are you... really okay with holding it back?" Sabo, who was a little dazed in his sleep, had no scruples at all and asked directly: "Doesn't it hurt? Several places in the body are broken. If you continue like this, you will die."
"I, I don't know what you are talking about." Elaine fled in panic.
