Apocalyptic Spirit Master

Chapter 459 The Mysterious City Lord

Following the news from his inquiries, Luo Hou walked along a narrow street towards Xiaoyuan City. After turning three turns, he saw two hotels that were very close to each other at the end of his line of sight.

Well, let’s call this dilapidated two-storey wooden house a hotel. In fact, Luo Hou thinks it’s more appropriate to call it an inn.

In Luohou's impression, a hotel should be more grand and luxurious than an inn. These two places for people to eat and stay can really only be called inns.

The inns are so small that they don't have their own names at all, and Luo Hou can tell that they belong to two inns only from their layout.

After randomly choosing a family, Luo Hou led the leopard and walked all the way there.

I walked all the way to the gate of an inn, but no one came out to say hello. Obviously, the business here is not good at all, and there are very few customers on weekdays.

Think about it too, this small survivor settlement looks so dilapidated, the population is not large, and it is hidden in the mountains and forests. Few outsiders come here on weekdays. How many can these two hotels have? What about good business?
Knowing that someone inside saw Luo Hou and the two walking into the gate of the inn, a middle-aged woman with a fat face and an extremely fat figure looked at Luo Hou and Leopard curiously, and asked in surprise:
"Are you... are you here to stay?"

Luohou and Leopard's noodles are very raw, they don't look like they came to eat, they must be foreigners, right?

It's just that there are not many outsiders in Xiaoyuan City, so the middle-aged woman was a little surprised.

Luo Hou sighed in his heart: Well, it seems that no one has stayed in this "hotel" for a long time, and I don't know what the guest room will look like, whether people can live there is a problem.

"Yes, let's stay here. Is this a hotel? Are there any rooms?"

The middle-aged woman was only taken aback for a moment, but when Luo Hou said that she really came to stay at the hotel, a bunch of bright smiles appeared on her round pancake-like fat face, and she nodded repeatedly:
"There is a room, of course there is a room. Come and see it with me. You are satisfied with the safekeeping. There is no better place in Xiaoyuan City than ours. Even Wang Ermazi's next door can't match mine."

Xiaoyuan City, Xiaoyuan City, in my opinion, it might as well be called Xiaoyuan Town. Calling such a tiny place a city is a bit of an exaggeration.

Seeing the enthusiasm of the middle-aged proprietress, Luo Hou also knew that these two inns were the best inns in this small place, and it would be futile to go to other places, so he followed the middle-aged woman and walked towards the side. Go up the stairs.

In the wooden building on the second floor, even the stairs are made of wooden boards. The fat body of the middle-aged proprietress stepped on it, and immediately made a creaking sound, as if the floor was moaning weakly, as if it might break at any time. Looking at the way he came, Luo Hou looked a little apprehensive.

If such a big ball of meat falls downstairs, I'm afraid it will fall hard?

"Two little brothers, take a look, the rooms here are all vacant, you can live in whichever one you like, and you will be satisfied!"

After going upstairs, the proprietress smiled and pointed to a row of rooms on the upper floor, and stretched out her hand towards Luohou and Leopard, as if she was following their own inspection. It can be seen that the proprietress is very confident about her house.

Luo Housui pointed to the two rooms separated from the stairs and said to the proprietress:
"Open it and take a look. If you are satisfied, we will live here tonight."

"Okay, don't worry, my room is definitely a five-star, you're guaranteed to be satisfied!"

The smile on the landlady's face remained unchanged, she twisted her fat body, and groaned when she stepped on the floor, walked over and opened the doors of the two rooms designated by Luo Hou, and stretched out her hand to ask Luo Hou to check.

Luo Hou nodded, walked over to take a look, and was slightly startled.

Good guy, this proprietress is really not bragging. Although the furnishings in the room are nothing, but there is no shortage of things that should be there, and the hygiene is very good. It looks clean and spotless.

Although it does not reach the standard of no stars, it has completely exceeded Luohou's expectations. Such a room can completely rest well for a night without worrying about cockroaches or mice crawling at night. Come to bed.

"Okay, let's go to these two. By the way, do you have any food in your store? Bring some to us later. Remember to have a little more food."

Luo Hou nodded, confirmed it, and asked the proprietress to help bring some food up.

Seeing that Luo Hou was willing to stay and ordered some food, the smile on the landlady's face became even brighter. It could be seen that these two are the kind of rich men who can afford the price. As long as the conditions satisfy them, they probably won't care Money.

Hastily agreeing, the proprietress twisted her fat body and stepped on the floor downstairs to make dinner for Luo Hou and the others.

Since it is a hotel business, of course there is ready-made food here. After a while, a little girl who looked like thirteen or fourteen came up with a big tray full of meals on it. Let alone two people, even four people are enough to eat.

Of course, leopards don't actually need to eat, as long as they have enough Yuanjing to fill their stomachs every day, that's enough.

The food on the tray is enough for four ordinary people to fill their stomachs, but for Luo Hou, a ninth-level evolutionary, he would not feel full after eating all of them, at most he would be [-]% full.

After putting all the things on the tray on the small table in Luohou's room, the little girl looked at Luohou with a pair of bright eyes, opened her small mouth, and said crisply:
"The proprietress said that the rent plus the food is the price of one topaz."

After finishing speaking, the little girl had no intention of leaving at all. It seemed that the extremely fat proprietress had confessed that she had to get the money before she could go down.

A second-grade topaz——with two houses in such a poor condition and a simple meal, if you dare to ask for a topaz, this small inn is really dark enough.

However, Luo Hou certainly doesn't care about this small topaz, and he still has important things to do, so he doesn't want to waste energy on these small things.

After smiling at the little girl, Luo Hou readily took out a second-grade topaz and put it on the little girl's tray.As if thinking of something, Luo Hou smiled and took out another gray crystal, stuffed it directly into the little girl's hand, and said:

"Come up and pack up later, I have something to ask you."

The little girl looked at the gray crystal in her palm, then at Luo Hou, a cunning flashed in her eyes:
"What do you want to ask? I don't know anything, and I can't tell you if you ask."

My God, why do people in this city reveal the inner potential of a profiteer?
Luo Hou wailed in his heart, rolled his eyes helplessly, took out another topaz and stuffed it in the little girl, looked at her with a smile in his eyes, and waited for her reply.

Tightly grasping the yellow crystal in her hand, this time the little girl nodded vigorously:
"Well, I see. I'll come up later to pack my things, but I don't know much."

After all, the little girl grinned, and ran downstairs briskly with the tray in her hand.

Not long after, there was another "creaking" sound from the stairs, the little girl didn't come again, but the fat proprietress came up again, and there were bright smiles on her face from far away.

Presumably it was because the little girl couldn't help showing off after she got the tip just now and was discovered by the proprietress.

Seeing that it was the proprietress who came up, Luo Hou frowned slightly, but immediately relaxed it again.

Since this proprietress loves money so much, as long as she can afford the price, she should tell herself everything she knows, right?People who are greedy for money are afraid of death. Even if she wonders why she inquired about something, she probably won't report herself.

Luo Hou directly took out a fifth-level green crystal and put it on the table without saying a word.

The fat proprietress looked at the fifth-grade green crystal on the table, almost drooling, the smile on her face remained the same, and she turned away without being frightened, either because she didn’t know the pros and cons, or because she was not afraid of anything because of money up.

Luo Hou nodded, very satisfied with the boss lady's performance, and said:
"I ask, you answer, this Yuanjing is yours."

"Ask, ask, as long as I know, I will tell you everything!"

The proprietress's huge head was like a chicken pecking at rice, making one wonder if her relatively slender neck could bear it.

"Does anyone know who lives in that small manor at the highest place in the city?"

"I know this, it's the residence of the lord of Xiaoyuan City." The proprietress's face brightened.

Luo Hou narrowed his eyes slightly: "Your city lord? Then do you know who your city lord is and how strong he is?"

This time, the fat proprietress just shook her head:
"I don't know about this. Originally, our place was not called Xiaoyuan City. It was originally a small town with a few thousand people. Our city owner came later because we killed a high-level monster that attacked the town. Later, He just became the city lord, and he was the one who gave the city the name Xiaoyuan."

have no idea?Luo Hou felt a little strange, and continued to ask:
"Do you only know this little about him? The specific strength and influence are not clear at all. How is this possible?"

The fat proprietress looked at the green crystal on the table, and hurriedly swore and said:
"I really don't know about this. Why are you lying to me? Don't talk about me. Most of us here don't know the origin of our city lord and how strong he is. On weekdays, he always looks like a dragon. There is no end to it, the gap between us and him is too great, how can we be qualified to know about him."
