Chapter 333 Small Town in the Mountains (Part 2)
"No need! Merrissi." Just as the hotel owner was about to refuse Xu Changqing's request for an overnight stay, the old man with wig suddenly stopped him and said, "I have said everything I should say, everyone go back and prepare for it yourself!" After that, he smiled at Xu Changqing and said, "We have not been to outsiders for a long time. I hope you can live here comfortably."
After saying that, he took off his cloak from the hanger and walked out of the room first. The others followed him one after another. Soon the crowded hotel living room became empty. When the last few young town residents walked past Xu Changqing, Xu Changqing suddenly frowned, sniffed his nose hard, and showed a profound smile on his face, and looked at everyone's figures, as if he had discovered something interesting.
"It should be very tired after such heavy rain, right?" the boss stepped forward and suggested, "I'm also wet by the rain. Take off my wet clothes and bake them on the stove! Don't get frozen. I'll ask the kitchen to make some hot soup and bring it over."
"Please trouble you!" Xu Changqing nodded and handed the windbreaker on his body to the hotel owner. While sitting next to the stove, he ordered: "There is no need for hot soup, just a glass of hot ale. As for dinner, there is no need to prepare it. Just arrange a room for me."
"Okay." Seeing that although Xu Changqing's body was wet by the rain, his face did not turn into the pale white after being frozen, the boss stopped talking, hung the wind next to the fireplace, turned around to the kitchen behind. Xu Changqing did not walk to the fireplace immediately, but wiped the soil on his shoes, and then walked back and forth in the room.
The hotel decoration is very simple. In addition to the usual tables, chairs, and counters, there are some very strange decorations on the walls. Xu Changqing stopped in front of a vine wreath. The style of this wreath is very simple, just a few vines curled together without any strange symbols or patterns. The reason why he expressed interest in this wreath was because the wreath grew completely naturally and had no traces of artificial weaving, and there was also a layer of very peaceful wood spirit attached to the wreath.
"That's the eyes of the forest and the shepherd god Pan." The boss walked out from behind with a pot of ale wine. He saw Xu Changqing standing next to the garland, and was stunned, and then introduced.
Xu Changqing turned around and looked at the hotel owner and asked, "Pan? Is it the Pan in Greek and Roman mythology?"
"Yes." The boss did not avoid it, smiled and nodded, and said, "Pan is the patron saint of our small town. Almost every household here has such a garland."
Xu Changqing walked to the fireplace and sat down, enjoying the warmth brought by the flames. While drinking bitter earthen ale wine, hesitated, he said casually: "This is a very good craft, it has not been made by any manual work, it is completely natural. The garlands here are all like this. The hotel owner was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Of course not, my garland is unique. The garlands of others are all hand-woven." He then asked, "Are you a craft collector?"
"That's right!" Xu Changqing replied following the hotel owner's guess.
"In the past, some vendors came to buy crafts in the town, but it is rare now. However, it is the first time for craft collectors from the East to see them." The hotel owner seemed to have not spoken for a long time, and he packed up tables, chairs and wine glasses in his hands. He muttered to himself: "I also went to the East with merchant ships when I was young. You are very different from those Oriental people."
Xu Changqing secretly took out a Wanjia incense from the universe in his sleeve and threw it into the stove, and said, "Maybe it's because I'm a little taller."
"No, it's not a matter of body shape, it's a different temperament." The boss saw that Xu Changqing's wine glass was empty, so he got another glass for him and said, "I'm asking for this glass." Then he sniffed the fragrance that floated out of the fire, felt his energy rising, and couldn't help but ask, "What's the fragrance? It smells very nice."
Xu Changqing did not answer him again, closed his eyes and quietly poured the pure yin energy from the fragrance into his body, nourishing the Yin spirit.
At this time, the hotel door was suddenly opened again, and four or five men and women walked in from outside the door. Among the men and women, the old and young, all looked very strong, wearing the same Changfeng and carrying the same style of canvas travel bags, looking like members of a unified organization. Xu Changqing could smell the strong bloody smell on these people without any effort, and he could also feel that the weapons hidden under their windbreakers were definitely not ordinary weapons, and the power attached to them was considered a good magic weapon.
After these people came in, the boss's face changed slightly, and then he showed a formulaic smile and went up to meet him. When the few people saw that there were other people in the hotel, they couldn't help but be stunned, but soon returned to normal. The old man in the lead made a secret cleaning and then went forward to talk to the boss. The others seemed to scatter randomly, and they all occupied the doors and windows intentionally or unintentionally. Some of them placed their eyes on Xu Changqing, who was sitting quietly, but when they saw him like an ordinary person, they looked away, and some of them placed their eyes on the ordinary garland, which obviously also noticed the strange power contained in the garland.
Xu Changqing opened his eyes and turned to look at these people. His eyes stayed at the silver cinnamon stick ornaments on the right shoulders of these people for a while, but he immediately took them back and closed his eyes again. Xu Changqing already knew the identities of these people. He had heard from Father Matthews that there was a secret demon hunter organization in Europe, and the silver cinnamon stick was the symbol of this organization.
The specific time of the Secret Demon Hunter Organization was no longer founded. It is said that it was originally a secret organization established by the Roman Empire. After chasing the Western Church, for some reason, this organization suddenly became a supporter of the Western Church and helped the Western Church become a legal church in Rome. However, during the Crusades, this ancient organization was split from the Western Church and became an organization dedicated to killing non-human creatures in Europe. The targets they were hunted include angels, gods, elves, monsters, etc. The organization can be said to have become the public enemy of the entire European god world. Although it is often attacked by various forces, it can still survive with difficulty. Looking at the current situation, they seem to be doing well in this era of science supremacy, which shows that their strength cannot be overlooked.
