I'm not a loser in love from Dimensional Adventurer

Cressy stretched her arms exaggeratedly, stood up and turned around, then walked past Caschia with brisk steps.

"He said you did the right thing. But what about you? Do you think you were right?"

"Do you think...the council's decisions were correct all along?"

Chapter 273 Interlude (1)

Today's Hanyan City is noisy, and the narrow streets are crowded with people. Some are sitting along the streets on both sides of the road, while others are looking around with critical eyes.These two completely different types of outsiders are "escapees" from Nomoft, or war refugees.Because of the large-scale war that broke out in Nomoft, some people who had no fighting capacity or were unwilling to be involved in the war and died rushed into Xios, which is across the sea from Nomoft.As the port of Cold Rock City closest to Nomoft on the Xios continent, it has naturally become the first choice target for escapees.

At dawn today, several ships of different sizes docked at the port of Cold Rock City one after another, and those who got off these ships were the fugitives that everyone saw now.

However, anyone who walks through the streets of Hanyan City will find that there are obvious differences between these two groups of people.Just as they realized, although this large group of escapees came here with the same purpose, in terms of behavior, clothing and conversation, no matter how you look at it, they are not people of the same class of life.

Let’s start with the first category of people. Those wearing tattered linen clothes with clearly visible patches and holes are the most common poor refugees.They live in poverty. This war is not only a major blow to them, but it may also be an opportunity for them.Let’s not talk about whether anyone is claiming that they will not break new ground in Xios. Let’s talk about the climate. It is much warmer than the place in Nomoft that can freeze people into ice sculptures in minutes. .In terms of living conditions, this place is much better off than before.

As for the other group of people, if you see someone wearing a fur coat, wearing gold and silver, and looking at the people around them with a look of disgust and inquiry, then you should know their identity very well. That's it.The only ones who can maintain this kind of living conditions in the barren land of Nomovt are the "magic stone dealers".Magic stones are an indispensable consumable today, and their output has always been in short supply. Unfortunately, most of these magic stones are produced in underground mines in Nomoft.

I don't know if it's a joke from the gods. There are very few magic stones that can be mined on other continents. If people want high-purity magic stones, they have to supply them through "magic stone dealers".This also allows magic stone merchants to quickly accumulate wealth in a short period of time. They are usually extremely rich, and some of them are even richer than the kings of some small countries.

For them, Hanyan City and his party are just an inevitable trouble. If possible, they would prefer to choose countries and cities near the plains, or other continents, rather than the slightly shabby little place of Hanyan City.Because of this, they always look at their surroundings with dissatisfaction.

By the way, the ship that this group of magic stone merchants was on was docked at the port. Among a row of ships swaying in the sea breeze, their ship was as eye-catching as their appearance.It was a fully-sailed ship with golden horizontal sails. Just a cursory glance at it from the shore would make anyone fall in love with its power.

The full-sail ship is the largest type of ship in the cash ship series. It must be expensive to build, but then I think about it. Its owner is a group of "magic stone dealers" from the eternal frozen land!This group of people lacks nothing. As long as they dig into their pockets, a lot of gold coins and magic stones will pour out of them like magic!

Having said so much, it is a pity that our protagonist today is not the so-called "magic stone dealer", but Alice and her party who were blocked at the door of the hotel.Just as Ms. Cressy claimed, most of the hotels in Cold Rock City were full. Whether it was a high-end hotel or a low-end one, every room that was still empty was stared at by several people.

People need a place to rest, and any fugitive who still has some money on him will rationally make plans for the rest of his life as soon as possible.But Alice didn't feel panic about this, after all, there was a thoughtful guy beside them.

"Give way! Give way! Please let us pass!"

Alice said this to the people around her while pushing Ivan Bell towards the middle of the crowd.They are all slender, but being slender in this case does not give them any movement bonus.When they squeezed through the crowd into the hotel lobby in a state of embarrassment, they immediately and tragically discovered that even the lobby was full of people.

Near the counter, several people were about to climb up on the counter and grab the shop owner's collar.Alice vaguely heard someone shouting: "I have money! Why don't you let me live!".This is a bit forced. No matter how you look at it, this hotel, like other hotels, can no longer accommodate more people.

"Hey...it's a good thing we all have rooms, otherwise we would be sleeping on the street like them today."

"Then don't you have to thank me? After all, I am the one who asked the boss to reserve the room for you."

When Alice heard this familiar voice, she immediately turned around. Vician, who had spoken to her before, was walking down the stairs leisurely. She noticed that the clothes on his body were not wrinkled at all, and it didn't look like he was at all. The appearance you get after being pushed around in a crowd.

"How...how did you come down from upstairs? Weren't you right behind me just now?"

"I'm not stupid. If I can get in through the window, why should I go through the door?"

Wei Xi'an chuckled a few times, then turned his attention to the counter.Alice couldn't help but look over, and the commotion in front of the counter seemed to expand further.The shop owner was grabbed by the collar by the angry fugitive, who was still shouting in his ears.

"I told you that I have enough money! And my companion also told me that some of your rooms have not been occupied since last night! I think it's bullshit that someone has booked something, you just look down on us Northlanders! "

As he said that, the man showed signs of punching the store owner.The store owner was startled by the other party's move, and it happened that he caught a glimpse of Alice and her party at this moment.

"Ah, ah! This guest, please help me! Come and explain to them that you have reserved those rooms!"

As the shop owner's words fell, Alice understood that her situation was about to become dangerous. They had a hot iron in their hands!

—TBC—

Chapter 274 Interlude (2)

The hotel owner threw a very hot iron into the hands of Alice and her party after a disagreement.As he finished speaking, the aggressive fugitive strode over.His steps were so fast that Alice was lifted up from the ground before she could see his movement clearly.

"Hurry up and hand over the extra rooms! We have a lot of people waiting for them here!"

The fugitive shook Alice fiercely, and before Alice could say anything, a slight sound of breaking through the air sounded from near her ears.The person carrying her was obviously stunned after hearing the sound of breaking through the air, and then a look of fear appeared on his face.

"You, what do you want to do? Do you know that your dagger almost pierced my throat!!!"

The fugitive threw Alice away and swung his fist at Vishian angrily.Wei Xi'an glanced at him, then easily bent down and dodged the opponent's attack.

"If you are rude to our lady next time, then this dagger will really be pierced in your throat." Visian first said to the fugitive with his shirt picked up, and then he turned his head to look at Ellie next to him. Si whispered: "You take Ivan Bell up first, and I will take care of it here."

"Is that okay? I think he looks pretty cool."

"Can you be as powerful as me? Go up there. Besides, you don't want the guy across from you to go crazy and bring you up, right?"

Alice trembled. She felt that Visian was right and it was indeed not suitable for her to stay here. It would be better if she was accidentally injured, but if she took Ivan Bell with her...

She didn't want to hear someone on the street say something like "Orcs attacked escapees inside the hotel", that would be a big problem.

After talking to Vician, Alice immediately took Ivan Bell and ran upstairs.The soles of their feet seemed to have been touched with oil, and within a few seconds their figures disappeared at the top of the stairs.At this time, only Wei Xi'an and a few others were left waiting in the hall.

In the next few minutes, Visian quickly swept away the angry fugitives, took back his precious dagger and walked away immediately.So when Alice discovered that there was no more noise coming from downstairs and walked out of the room, everything had settled.

"You are so fast! What happened just now?" Alice asked Vician who was standing at the top of the stairs.

"I just threatened him. No one was hurt. There will be no stains on the innkeeper's wall except a small hole."

"That's great! I don't want to get the boss into trouble, since we're staying here for one night after all."

"And if I do this, I won't let all of us sleep on the streets and spend the night in the extremely cold wind. There will be strong winds tonight, and this wind is unusual. It should be colder than any previous wind. .”

Alice listened to what Vician said in her ears while staring at the people in the hall downstairs.The people still in the lobby at this time were either guests who had booked rooms in this hotel, or guys who were holding on to their last hopes and waiting for someone to come and free up the room.Among this group of people, Alice found several pairs of parents with children. The ones that caught her attention the most were a couple with a baby and another couple with their own young children on their backs.

"Vician... look at them. If there will be a cold wind today as you said, wouldn't they be in danger?"

"Huh? Who are you talking about?"

"It's them, them! The ones standing in the corner!"

Vician frowned and looked at where Alice was pointing without saying a word.Only then did he notice the fugitives huddled in the corner. They looked more haggard than the others. Although they were separated by a certain distance, both Alice and Vician could see what was behind them. The situation of the child is somewhat bad.

Alice stood on the stairs and watched for several minutes. The two children looked as motionless as if they were dead.If they are not really dead, then there is only the last possibility.

"Is their child sick? It's so pitiful..."

"Maybe they have a fever. I can see that their faces are unnaturally red. If they haven't found a place to spend the night tonight, it will be very bad."

"In this case! Isn't the lady holding the baby more dangerous!? Oh my god, we can't just watch them die like this, can we?"

"Then what do you think we should do? Alice, you are my nominal captain. If it is your order, I am still willing to listen."

Vician held his chin with one hand and looked into Alice's eyes curiously.Alice was a little embarrassed to be stared at. She rolled her eyes and whispered for a while before replying: "First of all! I, I am indeed your captain! After all this time, I didn't expect you to still remember the adventure. The matter of the team..."

"Secondly! I think we can give the room to them. Don't we still have two empty rooms on hand? Then give it to them, okay? Think of it as saving their children!"

"Ah! If you want to ask where Ivan Bell and Caschia will live... Well, then we can only squeeze them in with the two of us."

Alice talked endlessly about her thoughts, and she tried very hard to convince Visian.Wei Xi'an also listened patiently to what she had to say. After listening, he nodded and agreed with Alice's idea.

He handed the extra keys to Alice, who ran downstairs and handed the two keys to the two couples with their children.Alice's appearance brings hope to the two couples. They don't have to spend the night in the cold streets, and they don't have to take the risk that the children in their arms may die.

At the same time, Caschia walked out of the Ferry Council under the words of Cressi, which was half teasing and half reminder.His destination at this time was the hotel where Alice and her party were staying temporarily, although he only knew the address of that hotel thanks to Cressy.

Walking on the street leading to the hotel, Caschia stared down at his toes thoughtfully. He rarely showed such a negative emotion, at least very rarely in his long half life. .Unfortunately, it was actually him who caused this situation.

"What should I say to him? Should I apologize? But I, I..."

"I was the one who killed him with my own hands..."

After all, Caschia is the one who has not been able to completely get over the shadow of the past.

Chapter 275 Interlude (3)

"So you just transferred our room? I don't mind, but doesn't Caschia hate staying with you and sleeping in the same room as you?"

"Don't worry about this, he will be willing after tonight."

Visian cast a mysterious look at Ivan Bell, and Ivan Bell moved in the direction of Alice in disgust, with a completely disgusted expression on his face.

It is now past one o'clock in the afternoon, and Alice has just returned to the room from the "love diagnosis and treatment" that lasted for almost 40 minutes, and joined her two other companions.As soon as she entered the door, Ivan Bell noticed that although she looked tired, her face was filled with a bright smile.

"The children turned out to be suffering from cold! Fortunately, there is a potion seller on the street next door. Otherwise, even if they had a room to live in, their parents would still not be able to sleep peacefully."

"So you are so kind-hearted! If it were me, I wouldn't care about them..."

"I don't believe it, Ivan, you will definitely do the same thing as me! Because I know you are a good person!"

Alice said and hugged Ivan Bell in her arms. Ivan Bell held Alice's hand helplessly, her face flushed.

In this way, time continued to pass amidst the conversation between Alice and Ivan Bell, and around two o'clock in the afternoon, Caschia finally arrived at the hotel.The two men and two women, a total of four of them, are still crowded in Alice's room. Somehow there is always a tacit understanding between them, that is, when they have something in common and want to discuss it, they will all be together in all likelihood. Appear in Alice's room.

Whether it was her original room or not, her companions would gather around her wherever she was.

"Caschia! You're finally here! I thought you would stay in the parliament and not come out."

"I……"

"By the way! I want to tell you something. Don't be angry! I gave your and Ivan Bell's room to other people who need it, so... I have to force you and Wei Xi'an to live together. room.”

"What!? No, this won't work, I can't-"

The amount of information Caschia received was a bit too much for a while. He had just listened calmly to Alice explaining to him the transfer of the room, but the next second he heard Alice asking him to meet Victoria tonight. Live in Xi'an. "This won't work!" This word popped into Caschia's mind on the spot.

But how should he explain this?Said that he would have nightmares when he was around Vishian, replaying the scene of him killing him over and over again?Standing next to the holy lake and watching each other's bodies being submerged in the water?

"I can't explain this, anyway I...!"

"Okay! Come with me!"

When Caschia tried to explain something, he was forcibly dragged out of the room by Vician.Alice failed to stop her move for Vician, but 10 minutes later, Caschia and Vician came back.It's just that Caschia looked as blushing as the two Fenghan children, and Visian's mood improved a lot for some reason.

Alice looked blankly at the two people opposite her, while Ivan Bell, who was sitting next to her, whispered: "Damn it."

"The misunderstanding between us has been solved! Welcome Mr. Caschia, my dear strategist, to rejoin the expedition!"

Vician announced in a great mood, and he began to add modifiers to his words, which made Caschia beside him sigh and facepalm.

This was just a short episode. For Caschia, everything that happened during this period was very important and enough to change his life, but for Alice, she could only feel confused about it.So rather than this, she was more willing to focus on the next topic, which was about their upcoming trip to Nomoft.

"Since there are refugees in Hanyan City, it means that the waterway is actually passable. But there is no guarantee, and there is also the risk of being affected by the war."

"But we can still go there by boat. As long as we find a good direction and pay more attention, we should be fine."

Caschia briefly analyzed it, and after spreading out a map with still wet ink, he cleared his throat and continued.

"The entire area here is included in the battlefield, and in the far west, the people there have no signs of progress for the time being."

"Does this mean we can land in Nomovt from here? It looks easy."
