Chapter 155 Traveling Together
In the afternoon, Tang En and the others officially entered Liva City.
Every city has its own unique flavor, and Riva City feels like a long-stale brown bread.
The fine drizzle can never wash away the gray stone streets, and the cluttered walls seem to be soaked by the dark air. There are also unnoticeable corners where colorful mold is growing secretly... A gathering of dozens of people is quite noticeable. , so as soon as they entered the city gate, Tang En and the others found out the location of the timber market. Then he bought some iron wood needed for construction, put on the clothes he had prepared, and turned into a small business group passing by.
Cities are no different from villages, and publicity plans cannot be completed overnight. Although Josiah and the others had some simple arrangements when they arrived, everything had to be determined after observing the actual situation.
"Boss, how about this one?" The group came to a slightly remote location, and Harry pointed to the hotel in front of them.
"You are the leader of the business group now!" After reminding him, Tang En took a general look around, nodded and said, "Okay, that's it."
Among the team, the fat Harry is the most like a businessman. Although Twain can also pretend to imitate, in the end he still performs well in his true colors.
"Uh, I forgot again..." Harry scratched his head in embarrassment, then straightened his face and raised his hand slightly, "That little guard, go and ask if you can book this hotel."
"He looks like a dog!" David glared at Harry, who looked like a villain, and stepped into the hotel.
The hotel in another world is actually a combination of a pub and a hotel. Perhaps because of its poor location, the business of this hotel is not very good, and there are only a few people in the lobby. No one greeted the guests when they came in. The boss was lying motionless on the wine cabinet, as if he was taking a nap.
"Boss, boss..."
boom! Impatient, David slapped his hand on the counter. The boss screamed and his chubby body almost fell off the bench.
"Damn, you... uh, you're welcome." It was undoubtedly annoying to be woken up from his sleep, but the slovenly boss immediately put on a happy look after seeing a large group of people.
"Do you guests want to eat or stay?"
"Accommodation. Well, there are a lot of us, can you book this place?"
"Haha, yes, of course I can!" the boss shouted anxiously, overjoyed. Blessed by the God of Light, this is a big deal.
"Uh, boss..." The waiter next to him pointed to the back and reminded in a low voice.
"Huh?" The boss was stunned, then his face turned bitter, and he rubbed his hands and said, "I'm sorry, there are people staying in the hotel for a long time... But this is the only one, and the remaining rooms are enough for you. Is this okay?"
When the business is open, there is no reason to drive customers outside. So after the boss finished speaking, he looked at David eagerly.
David looked a little startled, then turned to look at Harry who was showing off behind him.
Touching his chin, Harry seemed to be thinking, but his small eyes had already turned aside. Tang En retracted his gaze from observing the hall and nodded slightly.
It's best to cover it up, so as to prevent unnecessary trouble. But this does require some luck. It's getting late now, and there's only one person behind, which is already a very good situation.
These are just some thoughts. Tang En's attention is currently focused on the two diners in the corner of the hall. Although their every move was normal, Tang En's vision was so sharp that he could tell at a glance that these two people were warriors, and they looked a bit familiar... Well, I hope they were just passing by!
David had already negotiated the rent with the boss and told them not to allow subsequent visitors to stay.
The boss agreed wholeheartedly. His hotel business was already very bleak, so it would be nice to have someone stay here for one day. Now that such a large group of people are staying here, what else can he be dissatisfied with?
"Our goods are still outside. Boss, please drive down to the backyard."
"No problem, no problem. Why are you still standing here? Why don't you go move things for the guests!" the boss yelled at the two waiters beside him.
David waved his hand: "No, we will do it ourselves."
Moving goods is a fake, taking the opportunity to observe the surrounding terrain and lay down simple defense is the real purpose.
"Oh, yes, yes!" As if changing his face, the boss changed into a cheerful look again. But I was murmuring in my heart. I booked a hotel and didn’t ask anyone to help me move my things... Could it be that the goods were very valuable? Of course, this thought was only fleeting. He was a businessman and not a black shop owner, so naturally he didn't have to worry about it that much.
Harry took the lead, and the mermaids passed through the hall. At the back is a central courtyard and two rows of connected lofts.
Most of the Gray Space members live on the first floor and choose the location at the door or stairwell. Tang En, Luke and others followed Joshua and the others up the Paulownia stairs.
Although this hotel is deserted, the environment is still clean. After everyone got to the second floor, they couldn't help but be startled.
Because sitting on the aisle seat was an old man holding a newspaper. Seeing Tang En and the others coming up, the old man turned his head, looked around, and then nodded kindly to say hello.
They were probably the people who lived here... Everyone didn't pay attention, and after greeting each other, they each chose their own rooms.
Tang En, who was walking behind, flashed his eyes, frowned slightly, and led Josiah towards the innermost room. This feeling... is unmistakable, they are colleagues!
The aisle was not wide, so the old man retracted his legs and feet and turned his body slightly. As the two sides passed each other, Tang En's ears suddenly twitched, and he kept walking and came to the end of the aisle with a normal expression.
After pushing the door open and entering, Tang En first checked the house, then opened the window and looked outside, and then made an alarm button: "Okay, you can live here. Well, don't open the window."
"Okay." Joshua nodded.
Tang En opened the door and walked out, turned around and said, "Get some rest early."
"You too, good night!" Joshua smiled and closed the door.
After walking back and throwing away the key, Tang En looked around at the door numbers, "Well, it's not this one, No. 33, No. 32..."
While searching for the room, Tang En gradually approached the old man who was reading the newspaper. The latter glanced at it and then retracted.
"Found it!" Tang En looked at the door on the other side of the old man's room, his eyebrows slightly raised, looking a little happy.
Seeing this, the old man turned his body sideways again and let Tang En pass.
"Thank you. Well, do you have any interesting news today?" The tone was very normal, suitable for casual inquiries between strangers.
The old man was slightly startled, then smiled and said: "They are all ordinary things, nothing interesting..."
"Oh, since there's nothing interesting to see, let's not watch it..."
Tear - the middle of the newspaper suddenly shattered, and a hand stretched out in the shape of a claw.
The attack came very suddenly. The old man's body tensed up and his pupils dilated instantly. Other than that, he can't react in any way. Then there was a chill on his neck, and his head hung down weakly.
"Did I tell you that your disguise is terrible..."
Taking a step forward, Tang En placed the old man in a reclining position, and casually covered the latter's face with the broken newspaper.
After doing all this, Tang En took a few steps forward, opened the door, and closed it. Then he walked back quietly and silently came to the room opposite the old man. Leaning forward, voices could be heard faintly in the room... Touching his nose, Tang En opened his mouth in shock, "No way, this can happen..." The atmosphere in the room was solemn.
A middle-aged man with a sallow face was sitting on the bed, with blood stains visible in several places on his body, and he looked seriously injured. But the tone was very relaxed: "Ha, you are half a fellow traveler after all. It would be too unethical to stab me while I am injured."
On both sides of his diagonal, stood two expressionless men holding short blades.
"As a colleague, you should understand how to take people's money and do things for others." The man on the right said firmly, "Besides, if you have been on the run for a month, you may have killed or injured more than two digits of your colleagues."
The middle-aged man turned sideways in distress and thought: "Are there so many? I really haven't calculated them yet!"
The two men took a step forward vigilantly, once again bringing each other into their best attack angle.
"Haha, it's useless. You shouldn't have entered Liva City and fallen into the hands of our brothers. Accept your fate!"
The middle-aged man curled his lips: "Haha, even if you talk big, you won't be afraid of the wind blowing off your tongue. If I hadn't been injured, how could you have gotten so close? You're just helping mice who dare to fall into the trap!"
The man on the left's eyes flashed sharply when he heard this, and his dagger moved slightly.
"Don't be impulsive!" Another person hurriedly tried to dissuade him, "This guy is very slippery. He wants to lead us to attack and destroy the joint attack!"
"Haha, since you don't dare to attack, what are you doing here, chatting with me? Please, I'm very busy. I earn tens of thousands of gold coins every minute." The middle-aged man teased sarcastically.
"Haha, there's no rush." The two took another small step forward and continued to compress the space. "If you are busy, you can attack first."
"Haha, I'm a master, do you understand?" The middle-aged man said in a very arrogant tone, as if he didn't care about the two approaching. But in fact, he was complaining endlessly in his heart, sighing that the end was approaching. The strength of these two people is basically the same as his. If they come alone, he can still win with his own various methods, but if they come together, he will have to lie down. Not to mention there are other people surrounding this room.
At this time, the two seemed to have lost interest in continuing to talk, and they seemed to be worried that they could not stand the other's mocking tone. Holding the dagger tightly, he moved forward again.
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and his fingers trembled regularly. He can't delay it any longer. If he lets the other party take another step, he won't even be able to support him.
The atmosphere became stagnant for a moment, and the air instantly became thicker.
All three of them were leaning forward, like tigers trying to pounce on their prey. At this time, any intentional or unintentional move by both sides will lead to a thunderous attack.
Just then, boom, boom, boom! There was a knock on the door.
The bodies of the three of them all trembled, and the daggers hung in the air without being swung. Then the two people surrounding them took a small step back at the same time, and the killing momentum instantly collapsed.
"who?"
