Chapter 75 - The mourning of salted fish
“Sorrow of Salted Fish” hotel.
It is the most comfortable and luxurious hotel in Twilight Town. It is built in the center of the town. Except for the towering guard tower, it is the most conspicuous building in the whole town.
Not only accommodation, but also delicious food and beverages at all times.
The reason why it is called “salted fish” is not because the dried salted fish here is delicious.
The “salted fish” here is the salted fish that “turned over the salted fish”.
As long as it is an adventurer or player who can step into this hotel, then at least it has been proved that you have the qualifications to turn a salted fish over.
Because in addition to luxury and comfort, the food in the hotel is also very special and tastes very good. Of course, its price is extraordinarily expensive.
For those bitter adventurers and players, they usually touch their dry pockets subconsciously when passing by, and then leave in a hurry.
In Twilight Town, not all players will choose to join the guards, despite the good salary package, including the allocation of permanent residence.
But there are still some players with adventurism in their blood and very outgoing characters.
They usually like to join various caravans that come and go as temporary guards, or roam in the wilderness in groups to explore various underground ruins or ancient ruins.
It is said that the owner behind the hotel is one of the lords of Twilight Town, and the chef hired is also a halfling player with excellent cooking skills.
After all, not everyone likes to fight and kill in the game. In this highly open game, players can always find different fun before they cross.
Thorne looked up at the wooden gilt-edged signboard hanging above the door of the hotel. In addition to the four striking characters “Sorrow of Salted Fish”, a slightly funny pattern of salted fish was engraved on the signboard.
The salted fish pattern is surrounded by a constant circle of glass light **** the size of mung bean, which gently circulates dazzling magic light, and the hazy halo flickers slightly, as if the salted fish on the gold-edged signboard is struggling to turn over.
Thorne pushed in the door, and the delicate wind chimes on the door made a crisp sound, as if to remind the boss that there were guests.
However, it was not the hotel clerk or shopkeeper who greeted Thorne, but a coolly dressed elf woman.
Immediately afterwards, Thorne gave him a cold stare.
The charming woman’s smile froze for a moment, and she was immediately led away by another Druid man who came in with his arms around her slender waist.
The druid man glanced at Thorne provocatively, then laughed at the woman beside him as he walked: I will become a bear, an octopus, a giant frog…
Thorne was too lazy to pay attention to it. He glanced around and found that the dark cloud of the gnoll invasion also affected the noisy atmosphere here.
The lobby of the hotel is no longer as lively as it used to be. Most of the people here are some caravan stewards trapped in the town.
There was a look of worry on their faces, and they complained from time to time while drinking stuffy wine.
“Brother Thorne! This way, this way.” At this moment, a vulgar and familiar voice entered Thorne’s ears.
Thorne looked closely and saw that the troll Trundle was waving to him with a smile, so he walked directly over.
On Trundle’s table, there was a large bowl of mushroom soup exuding heat and a strong fragrance, as well as the vicious rabbit barbecue that was devoured by the little devil Simba and only had one thigh left.
Shiitake mushrooms are the most common ingredients in the player’s territory in the entire Emerald Wilderness, mainly because this type of fungus is relatively easy to grow, and there is no need to look at the faces of the druids.
Fortunately, the players here have mastered the method of growing shiitake mushrooms.
They used the growth characteristics of shiitake mushrooms to excavate a dark space under Twilight Town, and the Druid players used spells to successfully simulate its growth environment.
Violent chicken stewed with mushrooms, shiitake buns, shrimp porridge with shiitake mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms and fresh meat chaos, etc., almost all kinds of delicious ingredients about shiitake mushrooms can be found in this hotel.
“Have you eaten yet? Just order whatever you want. I’ll treat you as a guest. I finally taste the familiar taste that I haven’t seen for a long time. It’s really a pleasure.”
Trundle held a large bowl of mushroom porridge in front of him and sighed at Thorne.
“No, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go up and rest first.” Thorne was not impressed by the delicious food.
The main reason why he chose to come to this hotel is that the rooms here are very clean.
Unlike other small hotel rooms that are only separated by a wooden board, all kinds of messy noises can be introduced into the ears, which is very annoying.
“Your room has been reserved in advance by the hostess, and Simba will take you there.” Trundle said to Thorne after taking a sip of the thick soup.
After speaking, he took out a small card engraved with salted fish and handed it to Thorne.
“Booked in advance? How did she know I was coming here?” Thorne froze for a moment, taking the things in Trundle’s hands in confusion.
Thorne remembered that when they met at the city wall, the other party walked away angrily, and he couldn’t guess the woman’s mind.
“As a spell caster, it’s normal to know a few tricks of prophecy.” After Trundle finished speaking, he continued to bury his head in destroying the food in the big bowl.
“Little guy, then please take me there.” Thorne is not a hypocritical person, only 20 silver coins for a night, there is no need to care about anything.
So I looked at Anderina’s pet little devil and said hello.
“Although I hate you very much, I can’t disobey the master’s order. Let’s go. You can be handsome and handsome, but you have to pretend to be a half-elf with a paralyzed face.”
The little devil Simba finished eating the yellow-orange-orange ferocious rabbit barbecue, his little paws touched his round belly, and he patted his little skin wing with a little effort and muttered.
“Hurry up and lead the way!”
To be mocked by a pet of the Appearance Association, Thorne was slightly depressed, and then glanced at it coldly.
The little devil’s eyes narrowed in fright, and his over-fed little body almost fell to the ground uncontrollably.
It flapped its small wings and stabilized its swaying body in mid-air. It glanced at Thorne in fear, and walked towards the stairs with Thorne honestly.
“This is the one.” In the corridor on the third floor of the hotel, the little devil pointed to Thorne’s room on the right.
After speaking, he immediately flew to the eaves and disappeared into a small spider the size of a slap.
Little devil pets are born with the ability to change small animals and become invisible, so Thorne is not very surprised.
And it also comes with telepathy and vision sharing, which allows its owner to issue commands to it or share the vision of the magic pet at any time within a range of 1 km. It is one of the most practical magic pets among spellcasters.
Thorne took out the small salted fish card that Trundle handed him before leaving, and tapped it towards the groove on the door. A magic light flashed, and the door shook slightly, cracking a gap.
Then Thorne gently pushed it away and walked in.
Look at the various familiar structures of the room through the glow of the magic lights that have been imbued with Illumination: curtains, tables and chairs, rugs, beds and wall decorations, and more.
Thorne truly admired, this hotel in Twilight Town can be said to be the most perfect product of the combination of modernity and magic on the emerald field.
This shows the good intentions and strong financial resources of its behind-the-scenes boss.
Walking into the room, Thorne resisted the urge to throw himself on the comfortable big bed, sat on the chair, took out a book from the dimension bag and started to read.
“Dragon Chronicles” is a book made of sheet metal, with a total of more than thirty pages.
It was found by Thorne in the secret cave of the lich, and the opening chapter mainly tells the glorious period of the dragon’s rule of the world in the dawn of the dawn, and the history of competing with giants.
In the end, a few words explained the reason why the giant dragon clan withdrew from the stage of history due to the Battle of Dragon Fall.
However, when Thorne continued to scroll down, he finally got some good results.
“It’s actually recorded about the dragonborn’s expertise and how to learn spells!” Thorne looked at the description on the page and said to himself a little unexpectedly.
“It’s a pity that you need dragon blood to learn.” Thorne shook his head helplessly.
There are a total of two skills recorded in “Dragon Chronicles”.
One is the Dragon’s Breath feat, which can convert arcane energy into dragon’s breath.
The other is a two-ring sculpting system [force field] spell: Wings of Sanctuary.
The prerequisites for both skills need to be attached to the dragon bloodline to learn.
In the Emerald Wilderness, there are almost no players with dragon blood, so it is destined that these two skills are difficult to exchange for ready-made gold coins.
This also means that if the book cannot be sold, it is no different from waste paper in his hands.
“By the way, isn’t there a dragon vein warlock living next door? How could I forget her.”
When Thorne was about to put it away, he suddenly thought of the sorceress Andrina, who should be interested in these things.
