Blood Princess and the Knight

net

As midsummer approaches, the passenger flow in Solo City is very scary. By the time the three of them left the half-broken Tower of the Nameless Tower, the sky was already setting under the rays of the setting sun. All the hotels on the street had signs with signs saying, "The capacity is full, please ask for additional guests." A wooden sign with the words "Looking for his home".

For a while, the sky became gloomy, with thick black clouds pressing overhead, and muffled thunder heralding the coming storm.

I searched every street and alley in the northern part of Solo City but couldn't find a hotel with any spare rooms.

They originally planned to go to Nancheng District to stay in a hotel, but the sudden black clouds made them worry. They had no choice but to take a carriage to the nearby suburb of Beicheng District to try their luck.

"Tomorrow - the sky will be clear." Ji Bai got off the carriage at the outskirts of the city, looking up at the dark clouds that were so thick that they were almost dripping with water, and rubbing his chin. "Well, you think so."

"I don't know if the sky is clear or not. If someone doesn't insist on visiting the truncated tower, we should be looking at the drowned rats on the street through the windows of the city hotel." Lin seemed to be quite critical of this, and it was a rare moment for her to express her anger. So many words popped out.

Ji Bai silently glanced at Gordon beside him. "Did you hear me? I'm talking about you.

"Iron Can, you don't have any other skills. Your ability to throw the pot away is definitely enough to make people lose their temper. It's not like you said "I haven't been to any part of Solo City and I'm familiar with it" and then forced me to visit. "Really?" Gordon immediately became unhappy and expressed his solemn protest against Ji Bai's behavior of passing the blame.

"-I kept thinking about you on the way. Aren't you the one who is worried about me? I took you there first and still had so many opinions. I don't know what is good or bad." Ji Bai shook his head.

"Don't change the subject you can.'

039 That's enough. If you want to be soaked in water, don't drag me into the water. "Lin held her forehead as she had a headache.

Before he finished speaking, the dark curtain passed through - a crack of thunder at dawn, lighting up the woods on the outskirts of the city.

"Let's go. The first priority is to find a hotel where we can rest." Ji Bai stopped arguing with Gordon. Ji Bai had always been rigorous and reliable in his attitude towards business matters.

Amidst the muffled thunder, the three of them walked into the woods on the outskirts of the city.

As time goes by, the remaining light is covered by dark clouds, and visibility in the forest gradually decreases.

"Tincan, how long do you have until you can walk out?" Gordon stretched out his hand, and a few small raindrops hit his hand.

The strong wind is like an invisible hand lifting the leaves on the ground, and the storm is coming soon.

Ji Bai stopped and said three words that were full of philosophy about the cycle of the universe: "I don't know."

"? ?Aren't you known as a senior local snake in Solo City? You have lived here for dozens of years, and you haven't even figured out this city clearly?

"Have you never been to the outskirts of the city?" Lin opened a simple map of Thoreau City that she got at some point.

"I've been here before. When I was a kid, I often took my sister to play in the amusement park here. However, for some reasons, it was demolished and rebuilt on the outskirts of the city.

"So, you are not familiar with the terrain here at all? Then you took us in circles for most of the day?" Gordon was speechless.

"You didn't ask me." Ji Bai spread his hands to show that he was innocent.

"You are really a head

"Stop arguing. After all, cockroaches have been here before. It's better than the two of us wandering around for the first time." Lin pointed forward. "I seem to have discovered the hotel."

Following Lin's gaze, the old apartment building standing in the gloomy forest is like a night watchman in the dark. The dim lights are extremely conspicuous in the darkness but also have a hint of eerieness. The roaring thunder is playing, and the old and faded 8 The walls looked pale.

"There are actually apartments in this place. It's just bad luck." Gordon took out a lollipop and stuffed it into his mouth. "This old building looks a bit old. The appearance is a bit weird =

"Weird? No." Ji Bai shook his head. "You should go visit the mansion of a high-ranking vampire. It's called a real thousand-year-old temple. Before you get used to it, your back will feel cold all day long. It always feels like someone is blowing cold wind behind you."

"It sounds like you've lived there before." Gordon pointed at the lollipop and sneered at the words, which were mostly bragging.

"We don't have a choice now, do we? Let's pray that the building is not full. At most, we can use the sky as a quilt and the earth as a bed." Ji Bai took the lead and stepped forward.

In the dark night rain, lightning flashed across the sky from time to time, making everything around him look pale and eerie.

Raindrops floated in the roar of the wind, and the storm came as expected.

The old wall has lost its original color, and one of the old-fashioned door lights is broken. The other one only emits a faint light, faintly illuminating a small area at the front steps.

"Button button button"

"Excuse me, is anyone here?" Lin gently pressed the door knocker and asked politely inside.

The only change was that the sound of wind and rain became more obvious after the words fell.

"Excuse me, is there anyone inside?" Lin cleared her throat again.

Still no one answered.

"Is there no one inside?" Lin frowned slightly.

"The lights are all on, how could there be no one there." Gordon walked forward. "Your voice was too quiet and was drowned out by the storm. I'll do it.

"Dong dong dong!" Compared with Lin's understatement, Gordon was just smashing the door.

However, it seemed that he was deliberately ignoring it and still received no response.

After an awkward silence, you can clearly see the bruise on Gordon's forehead.

A tic-tac-toe symbol appeared.

“Dong dong dong!!

"The shop owner has opened the door and came out to pick up customers. Don't you want to do business anymore? ?"

"Hey, hey, make sure you open the door quickly. Open the door quickly. Do you have the ability to open a store but not the ability to come out to meet people? ?"

"Click." The old wooden door opened with a roar.

Gordon, who was leaning against the door panel without any preparation, almost stumbled.

"It's so noisy, are you shouting outside?" The old and hoarse voice penetrated the sound of the storm.

At the right time, a bolt of lightning flashed across the room, illuminating the rickety figure on crutches in the room pale.

There seemed to be some suppressed emotion in the voice, like the roar of an evil beast.

"Excuse me, old gentleman. We are travelers heading to Solo City. We passed by your hotel tonight and would like to stay for a few nights." Lin took over the conversation politely.

"Borrowing?" The old man narrowed his eyes. The black hat on his head was very inconsistent with the brightly colored clothes on his body, as if he was wearing the black hat for some purpose.

Gazing across Lin's silver hair and red eyes, the old man's tone softened slightly. "This is not a hotel and I don't accept guests. You three should find another place to stay.'

"It's raining so heavily outside and we don't have anywhere to go. Can't the old man be accommodating? There are so many rooms left in this apartment. If you stay in your apartment for one night, you won't be short of arms and legs. Besides, the three of us are... It’s not that I won’t pay you.” Gordon tried to reason with the old man.

"No, it just won't work. Where are all the words?!" The old man was very impatient. When he pulled the door handle and wanted to close the door, his eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of the silent iron helmet.

"Are you riding?" The examiner stopped (asked in a deep voice).

"Not anymore.

If I don't allow you to live here, are you planning to break into a house?"

"Don't dare. If the old gentleman is unwilling, we will leave. Sorry to bother you." Ji Bai took Gordon's shoulder and took a step back.

"Come in." After a long time, the old man dropped these three words and turned around to leave.

"Why are you still standing there? ? Close the door quickly. If you don't want to stay in the hotel, then get out!" The scolding made the three people standing at the door tremble and quickly walked into the apartment and closed the door.

Has your attitude changed so much after mentioning the Cavaliers?

"This old gentleman's temper is really hotter than the fire in the fireplace." Gordon muttered in a low voice.

"It's a bad habit to gossip about others behind their backs." Ji Bai patted Gordon on the shoulder, indicating that the old man in front of him had turned around.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Birman. I am the owner of this old apartment. You three can stay in the hotel if you want, but you have to follow the rules here. If you can't do that, go outside and get wet in the rain. ." Berman said indifferently, his eyes falling on Gordon intentionally or unintentionally.

Come on, I seem like the kind of person who doesn't follow the rules. Gordon held the lollipop in his mouth and folded his arms, looking a little helpless.

Be honest, this is good for everyone, don't blame me for not warning you. "The old man freed up a hand. "Also, the accommodation fee is fifty iron coins per night. ’

“It’s so expensive, and three-star service is only at this price, right?

sf light

The old man silently turned his gaze to Gordon.

"If you don't accept it, you can leave now.

"Gordon pursed his lips and chose to compromise.

After paying the money, a keychain was handed into Ji Bai's hands.

"Here are the keys to all the rooms on the first floor. You can choose which one you want to live in.'

"Why is there only the first floor? I think this building has three floors?"

"Why do you have so many problems? As the same saying goes, love can't last!" Berman snorted coldly, then turned around and left.

"Also, you are not allowed to set foot on the second or third floor, do you understand? - Once I find that you have violated the rules, get out of here immediately. I don't give you any money!"

As the footsteps gradually faded away, the three of them slowly came to their senses and looked at each other in confusion.

"You are not allowed to enter the rooms on the second and third floors. Why?" Gordon frowned, feeling that this request was a bit strange.

When I came in, if I read correctly, the rooms on the second and third floors had lights on. It would not be so quiet if there were people living there, and it would be impossible for the hotel rooms to be full in such a remote area.

"Don't think so much about things that we shouldn't be involved in. We'll talk about it after spending this night by observing the rules. Curiosity can sometimes kill the cat.

Ji Bai Youyou has a hint of frivolity.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. The reason why the demolition and reconstruction of the suburbs of Beicheng was put on hold until today with no progress seems to be because it caused some abnormal supernatural phenomena, commonly known as: haunting.

"Plop-dong." Before he could finish his words, there was the sound of something falling to the ground.

The two of them turned around

It was Lin's poker face that remained unchanged for thousands of years, and the keychain that fell to her feet.
