Chapter 40 · Strange Hotel
Three days after seeing a village again, Li Jiaming was very bored along the way. He wanted to find something to say and found that there should be no topic with the old man Kieran. Looking at Carl, he was always vigilant for fear of the sudden appearance of a mythical beast chasing soldiers and so on, and Li Luo basically saw that Li Jiaming was stinky. Li Jiaming rarely spoke, and the four people came over very silently along the way.
Looking at the name of the village on the stone tablet at the entrance of the village, Li Jiaming raised his eyebrows - New York Town. Li Jiaming remembers that the economic center of a country on the ground seems to be New York. Although Li Jiaming has not been there in person, New York is a very prosperous place from the news in this direction, but he doesn't know whether New York has also been destroyed in the new human crisis.
Entering the town of New York, Li Jiaming frowned. The air in the town was covered with a smell of decay and even a smell of blood.
New York Town is not big and should be about the same size as the original Varo Town, but there are very few pedestrians on the street, and one is paler than the other. Li Jiaming noticed more often peeping at four people from behind the dark window of the house.
"Why doesn't this New York town feel right? I remember that it was not like this when I came here before. At that time, although the village was small, it was crowded and very lively." Kiran frowned
"Mythical Beast Master, what do you think?" Carl looked at Li Jiaming
"Well, there is a problem, but it's not a big problem." Li Jiaming's so-called problem is not big, but it does not pose a threat to him. He believes that he should be able to protect several people by his own strength.
And Li Jiaming is also very curious about what happened in this village. The biological energy shown in his right eye is extremely low, as if it has been extracted, which is the same as what he learned about a strange biome on the earth.
"Keelan, it's getting late. Let's find a hotel to rest. There is no hotel to rest outside this village. We have to go straight into the Mythical Beast Forest." Liluo looked at Kieran
"How about it?" The unusual environment around made Kieran feel that something was wrong. He looked at Li Jiaming and hoped that the strongest person in the team could pay attention.
"No problem, find a hotel to rest." Li Jiaming nodded.
Three men and a woman walked to a hotel signboard in New York Town. Although the sun had not yet set, the hotel closed its door.
Dongdong! Carl knocked on the door of the hotel a few times, and there was no response after a while. Just as Carl was about to continue knocking on the door, there was a creak and the door of the hotel opened a gap.
"What the hell!" Carl frowned and pushed open the door and walked in. Princess Lilo and others also walked into the hotel.
The four people just entered the hotel, and the door of the hotel closed again, and it was dark inside.
"Hey! What about your boss? It's dark! Why don't you light the light?" Carl's voice is a little annoyed
Suddenly, a kerosene lamp behind Princess Liluo lit up, and Princess Liluo turned her head, and a pale man's face appeared behind her.
Ah! Princess Lilo's screams immediately sounded throughout the hotel.
"Who are you! What are you pretending to be a ghost?" Carl strode to the man who suddenly appeared and blocked Princess Lilo behind him.
"Of course I am the boss here" The man's voice was very hoarse and slowly walked to the crowd with a kerosene lamp. Li Jiaming noticed that the man was a little shrill and his face was pale like a normal person at all. Although he looked only in his thirties, he gave people a kind of The old-fashioned look of the dragon clock.
"Do you live in the hotel? There are only two rooms! A total of two gold coins in one night! There is no other service!" The man walked forward without regard to the crowd holding the kerosene lamp.
"Two gold coins? You robbed people!" Kieran suddenly said loudly
"Hey" The pale man suddenly smiled gloomly, "You can't stay. There is only a hotel like me within a few miles here. Maybe you can go out and see if any resident is willing to take you in."
"Where are you going!" Kilan was angren but still took out two gold coins from the bag and threw them to the pale man. Kilan wanted to curse, but his cultivation did not allow him to swear.
"Hey" As a result, the pale man put the gold coin in his mouth and bit it to try the authenticity of the gold coin, and then handed the kerosene lamp in his hand to Carl and said
"The room is in the two rooms on the far left of the stairs. You can go up by yourself. I won't send it. Don't come to me if you have nothing to do. You can leave by yourself tomorrow. If there is any tomorrow, hehe." The pale man smiled gloomed and fell into the dark room.
Looking at the pale man's dark room, Li Jiaming frowned. Carl may not feel it, but Li Jiaming clearly saw the man quickly disappearing into a corner of the room at his unusual speed.
"After the princess restores the country, I will definitely send someone to demolish this place! This shabby place actually needs two gold coins! Thank God for receiving 100 silver coins!" Kieran walked behind Carl and thought angrily. He had always been the only one to blackmail others, but today he was blackmailed by others, which made Kieran very angry.
"That man looks so strange. I feel that his body seems to be moldy." Li Luo patted her chest, obviously scared just now.
"Princess, let's go up, be careful." Carl walked up the stairs with a kerosene lamp. The stairs seemed to have not been repaired for many years, and there was a creaking sound when stepping on it, as if the stairs would collapse with a little strength.
Walking to the two leftmost rooms on the stairs, Carl opened the door, and a musty smell came out of the house. He looked carefully at what seemed to be nothing else in the room. Carl handed the kerosene lamp to Princess Lilo
"Princess, if you go in by yourself, we won't enter. Two rooms, you live in one room for three of us. If you have something to say, we can hear you."
Princess Liluo took the kerosene lamp and nodded and walked in. After she groped in a corner of the room for a while, the whole room lit up.
"Hmm! Fortunately, there is a gem lamp! Otherwise, I can't help but demolish this house now! Two gold coins! Live in such a shabby place! You should know that two gold coins can stay in a good hotel in the imperial city!" Kieran snorted, and now he is still complaining about being blackmailed
"Jewel lamp?" Li Jiaming heard about this for the first time
"Let's go in and talk about it." Carl opened the room. "The gem lamp is an alchemist who invented a lighting tool that can emit light using some strange stones. This kind of stone is not expensive and can satisfy the use of many people."
Li Jiaming nodded after listening to it. In fact, the gem lamp is equivalent to the light bulb on the ground.
Entering the room, Carl kept touching something on the edge of the door. After a scratching, Carl's place emitted a light. Li Jiaming saw that the bright thing was a polyhementedged stone. There was a cylinder more than ten centimeters high under the stone, but he didn't know the principle that the stone could shine.
"How can I turn off the light?" Li Jiaming asked
"In this way" Carl took the stone from the cylinder, and the polyhedsided stone was not shining, and then Carl put the stone on it again.
"Well, this alchemist is really amazing." Li Jiaming raised his eyebrows. He is becoming more and more interested in the profession of alchemist, or they really have a way to open up the space to the earth.
"Go to bed early! I have to go tomorrow! My two gold coins! Such a dilapidated house! I will definitely demolish it if I have a chance in the future. Kieran lay down in a **.
"I'll look around when you rest." Li Jiaming walked to Carl and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Be vigilant"
Li Jiaming doesn't want to squeeze another ** with two men, and the boss's strange performance makes Li Jiaming very curious. Combined with the unique scene in the village, it goes without saying that something will definitely happen tonight.
Li Jiaming walked out of the room without checking anything. He dragged his huge black arm and leaned his back against the wall outside Princess Liluo's room. Before long, the gem lights in both rooms went out one after another.
"Big black block! Are you outside, right? Princess Liluo's voice suddenly came from the room. The voice was not loud, but Li Jiaming could hear it clearly.
"Eh? "En!" Li Jiaming didn't expect that Princess Liluo could feel that she was staying outside the room and answered.
"Can you really help me subdue the kingdom? The world around me suddenly became scared. When my father died, the maid of honor who had served me since I was three years old suddenly wanted to assassinate me. If it hadn't been for Kieran and Carl, I might have died!" Liluo's voice seems very fragile.
"Of course! I will do my best to help you! And you promised to marry me!" Li Jiaming smiled
"Ha ha, you hateful guy, you want to make me angry again. It's not easy for you to see me without my father's death, and you still want me to marry you! You really picked a big bargain!" Li Jiaming's words eased Liluo a lot.
"Are you the one who picked the cheap one? I'm so handsome and powerful! There is no better world than me!" Li Jiaming said stinky
"No ashamed! By the way, what's your name?
"Didn't you call me a black block? Just call it like this."
"That's because you provoked me, that's the name I gave you. How ugly the big black guy is." Liluo's voice seemed to be a little embarrassed.
"Li Jiaming" Li Jiaming said his name
"Li Jiaming? What a strange name!" Liluo smiled softly.
"What's funny? The name was given by my parents, just like your name"
"Do you also have parents?" Liluo asked
"Of course! I didn't collapse from a stone, of course, but my parents" mentioned that my parents Li Jiaming thought that he was actually the father of the blood duke. I don't know what happened after he escaped from the alien spaceship. Did he find his mother, and his father said that his mother was more powerful than him. What mysterious identity does his mother have? Li Jiaming was curious, but he really couldn't think of a possible identity with his mother. He was not afraid of the sun, and his father didn't seem to be afraid of the sun. Will this have anything to do with his mother?
"I'm curious about what kind of people Li Jiaming's parents will be." Liluo's voice has a trace of expectation
"Why do you want to see your parents so soon? I'm not ready yet," Li Jiaming joked again.
"I want to see what kind of parents will give birth to a freak like you!" Liluo retorted without any mercy.
"Your mother just gave birth to you as a freak" Li Jiaming also replied back
At this time, Liluo's room was silent
"Don't be angry, I'll say whatever you want! If you don't like it, I won't talk about it!" Seeing that Liluo stopped talking, Li Jiaming suddenly panicked.
"Do you know? You are the first person who dares to talk to me like this. In the past, the people in the palace were very respectful to me, and no one dared to be rude to me!" After a moment of silence, Liluo's voice came out again.
"Is that right? There's nothing we can do. There is no such thing as a princess. At first, I thought you were angry if you didn't talk."
"No, it's just that your words remind me of my mother." Lilo's voice is a little sad
"Your mother? What's wrong with her?"
"I have never seen my mother. At most, I have seen in the photos that she is a very beautiful woman. After birth, my wet nurse fed me, but my father seems to love my mother very much, because I have never seen any other woman from my father, which is why I am the only princess in the Sphen kingdom. Li Jiaming, what kind of world do you live in? Liluo's voice is a little curious
"I think your mother must be as beautiful as you, as for my world? It's hard to say. I'll take you to have a look when I have a chance."
"Who! Come out!" Li Jiaming wanted to say something else, but he frowned and shouted angrily
Hearing Li Jiaming's angry shouting, a pale man under the stairs showed his head and disappeared into Li Jiaming's vision. At the same time, he began to think of the rustling sound around the house, during which there seemed to be some roars from animals.
Although Li Jiaming knew that something was wrong here before, he didn't expect to come here so soon
"What's wrong?" Lilo asked
"Liro! Put on your clothes! There is a situation," Li Jiaming stood outside the door and shouted, and suddenly there was a scream from Princess Liluo's room.
Li Jiaming didn't want to break the door directly and rushed in
