Chapter 271 270. Moonlight in the City
Along the road, soon there were some large and small oak forests. This time happened to be the season for the golden and silver oak trees to drop their fruit. From time to time, acorns fell from the top of the tree. These acorns belonged to the lord of this place. After they send farmers in the territory to harvest these gold and silver acorns, other villagers can enter the forest to pick up those missed acorns.
The winter in Bena City is not too cold. The nobles here have the habit of burning charcoal in the fireplace in winter. The nobles like to burn these fruity coke made of acorns, because the seeds in the acorns contain a lot of oil. There is a scent of tree oil after being ignited.
Cross a mountain again, and there are large oak forests all over the mountains. Only a small piece of mountain is covered with green grass and low shrubs. Only here is the official entry into the mountains on the outskirts of Hailansa City.
The weather in September is still a bit hot after noon, and once you hide under the shade of a tree, you will feel a little cool.
The three of them decided to rest for a while in the oak forest on the top of the mountain. Suerdak took the opportunity to quickly drink some water for the two horses, and then fed them some grass, and let them gnaw freely in the woods. The grilled oatmeal cakes with meat that had been prepared a long time ago were distributed to Suldak and Natasha. Natasha held a water bag and sipped the water, her eyes kept looking at the lush oak trees Lin, looking at the fallen acorns on the ground, couldn't help reaching out to pick up a few.
"I heard from the merchants in the caravan that robbers often haunt the mountains and forests. Is it true?" Rita handed the sandwich biscuit to Suldak, and made room for him, please He sits down.
Surdak leaned against the thick oak tree, rubbed his numb legs, and said with a smile:
"How can there be so many robbers, but occasionally there will be!"
Seeing Rita staring at him with wide eyes, he couldn't help reaching out and patted Rita's back, and said to her: "Don't worry, Wall Village is so poor, there are no robbers who can't think about it, and they will run to Wall village is robbed, they will only rob some rich nobles."
Rita squinted her eyes, like an orange cat, and seemed to enjoy Surdak's touch.
Then she couldn't help but glanced at Natasha again. Seeing that Natasha's eyes fell on the mountain road down the mountain, following her gaze, she happened to see three magic caravans speeding on the mountain road, so she asked curiously. Suldak asked:
"Suldak, look quickly... what is that?"
Suldak followed the gazes of Rita and Natasha, and saw three carriages speeding past on the forest mountain road. He could only see the shadows of those vehicles through the gap between the trees. A group of cavalry Following closely behind, it actually looked mighty and imposing.
"Those are a few carriages. Let me have a look. I think it should be a magic caravan that can only be owned by a certain noble in Hailansa City. There is also a family emblem on the carriage, but I don't know it." Suldak said .
Soon after, the carriage and cavalry disappeared on the mountain road, and the three of them continued on the road after resting, and finally entered Hailansa City before the city gate closed at dusk.
…
Hylansa City
A group of night watchmen lit up all the street lamps in every corner of the city. There were still a steady stream of pedestrians on the street, and the smell of some food wafted through the street. Suldak bought it from a businessman with a fruit basket on his head. After giving two apples and a copper coin to the businessman, the businessman carried the fruit basket and left with a smile on his back.
Since Rita and Natasha didn't know how to ride a horse at all, after entering the city, Suldak helped Rita and Natasha off the horse, and he led the two horses, letting Rita and Natasha follow behind him .
He didn't want the horse to be frightened and the scene uncontrollable. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with leading the horse to walk slowly on the street like this.
When they arrived at the hotel, it was completely dark. The owner of the hotel led his two horses to the stables in the backyard, and the proprietress in charge of the front desk invited them into the hotel. The proprietress saw Su Er Dake recognized him at a glance, the hotel prefers this kind of regular guest who goes back and forth, seeing him with two female relatives this time, he said with a smile:
"Suldak knight, good evening, if you come to Hailansa city this time, how many days are you planning to stay?"
The proprietress seems to be a little hot, with a smile on her vulgar face, constantly adjusting the dress with her hands, and fanning the wind with the bone folding fan in her hand, so that the smell of perfume on her body fills the entire hotel hall.
Suldak glanced at the proprietress, and replied: "Two nights, open two rooms for me, quieter and cleaner, you know I don't like to be disturbed."
"There are two rooms on the third floor with a loft and a balcony. One can enjoy the view of the DC area and the park square from the balcony, and the other can see the city hall and the clock tower. It is the best room for me. If If you want two rooms, you only need to pay 7 silver coins per room, including breakfast and dinner. Tomorrow's breakfast is white bread with bacon rolls and fried eggs. Tonight, there are only some beef patties and mushroom soup. If you If you want to eat, please let me know in advance." The proprietress smiled like a fox.
Suldak looked at Rita and Natasha, and asked them, "What do you need?"
When Rita heard the price quoted by the proprietress, she couldn't believe her ears. She would need seven silver coins to stay in a hotel in Hailansa City for one night... This is simply unbelievable. If it was only sold to merchants, it would cost about five or six silver coins. Doesn't that mean that staying in this hotel for one night is equivalent to giving away a gazelle...
She glanced at Suldak, then at Natasha, seeing the same unconcealable surprise in her eyes, hesitated for a moment, and whispered to Suldak, "Just book a room."
‘This way, at least one gazelle can be saved every night, and at worst, they can sleep on the floor…’ Rita thought in her heart.
Seeing the tangled expression on Rita's face, Suldak could probably guess what she was thinking, so he said to the proprietress: "Do you have any suites? If so, open one for us. You need to prepare for us." Three dinners."
The proprietress lowered her head and flipped through the account books, trying her best to hide her contempt for Rita, and said in a tired voice, "There are no suites on the third floor, only the second floor. You need to pay nine silver coins."
"Yes!" Suldak felt that there was no need to waste time on this, so he decided directly.
"I'll take you there right away." When the proprietress came out from the counter, she deliberately looked at the female relatives brought by the young knight, and saw that they were wearing burlap clothes that village women would wear, and complained in her heart. The young knight didn't look very good either.
She walked upstairs and said, "Hot water is provided for a limited time at night. If you want to take a bath, you'd better not miss the time. Of course, if you are not afraid of the cold, cold water is always provided..."
Rita saw the proprietress walking in front of her, a large piece of white, flower, and plump skin was exposed from the low-cut dress, she felt her heart pounding, thinking: How can this shameless woman do this?
