Chapter 662, Accommodation, Taking Care of Horses, Reinforcement of Car Canopy
Kiel carried the unconscious Priest Batal through the spacious carriage passage and entered the backyard from the side of the hotel. The hotel clerk guarding this passage did not even dare to look up at Kiel as he walked by.
.
In the backyard, Bloody Fangster was leaning on the carriage waiting for the arrival of the two of them.
"It's really busy in front, but is it okay? Kil."
Bloodfangster looked worried, because he had probably heard what happened just now. Not long after he left Montoka City, such a big thing happened. He was afraid that Kil, a teenage knight squire, would not be able to withstand the situation.
.
It would be fine if he was a knight, as he could rely on absolute force to determine the tense development, but Geel is not a knight yet.
Carrying the man, Kil saw that the horses had entered the stables and were drinking water from the water tank, purring.
"Is there any problem? Things are already like this." Kiel patted Priest Batal on his shoulder armor: "To be honest, I originally thought he was not a person who dared to do things. I didn't expect that he could really do something on the street just now.
Release the blessing ability, haha, I think the experience in the future will be interesting?"
"You have to have a life to be interesting."
Bloody Fangster curled his lips. He felt that these two young men were really crazy. Kil was a reckless guy who was not afraid of big things, while this twenty-year-old resident priest of the Church of the God of Saturn seemed to be gentle and gentle before.
He is also a bit melancholic and fragile, but looking at it now, he also has a hot-headed teapot personality.
Once it's hot, put the lid on.
"So tonight we are still going to do what we discussed before? Modify the hood or something?"
"Okay, you watch our carriage first. I will arrange for the unconscious priest to lie down in the room, and then come over to help you. You take the money and go out to buy the necessary leather, tarpaulin and sewing tools. The two of us will take turns guarding the carriage tonight.
, and change it.”
After making arrangements, Kil walked towards the back door of the hotel building, while Bloodfangster jumped into the driver's seat of the carriage, leaning on the seat with a dagger in his hand and polishing it with a grindstone.
-
There was a sound in the hall, and the back door of the hall was pushed open with great force. People in the hall were startled, and subconsciously turned their heads to look over, and then became quiet.
The originally noisy hall was extremely silent.
The merchants who were toasting and drinking were stunned on the spot, with the wine glasses in their hands unable to be lifted or lowered. The male and female waiters in the hotel were also startled, and the words they composed in their mouths were stuck in their throats.
"What's wrong? Someone will arrange two rooms."
Gere walked carelessly to the middle of the hall, and the unconscious priest on his shoulders was particularly eye-catching.
"Oh, my companion just used the blessing magic given by the gods and fainted. He must quickly find a soft bed and have a good rest."
Kil hummed as he spoke, and many people secretly pouted. It was obviously you who knocked your companion unconscious in a strange way, so don't act like no one saw it.
But the steward of the hotel was still secretly pushed forward by his subordinates to lead the way: "Guest, what room do you want? We have two superior rooms here for noble gentlemen, and several medium-sized rooms for businessmen. Which room do you need?"
kind?"
Kiel's boots made a creaking sound when he stepped on the wooden floor of the hall, obviously due to the pressure of the weight.
"Just a medium room, two rooms."
"But I heard from my men that you have three people?"
"Oh, you have to leave someone to watch the carriage at night, don't you? He is asleep, and I and another person take turns guarding the carriage."
While talking, the two of them went upstairs on the wider wooden stairs.
This is a recently built human-style wooden three-story building with ground floor. The guest rooms are on the second and third floors. The best guest rooms for the nobles who come and go are all on the second floor with the most appropriate height, occupying at least half of the area, and the other half.
It is the house where merchants who are more than one size smaller often live.
"Well, arrange a medium-sized room for me by the window with a view of the street. Is that okay?"
"No problem, no problem. As you said, we have all seen the great deeds you and this priest did just now. It is really amazing. The great God of Agriculture is watching everyone. My grandma often did this when she was here.
I said. I didn’t believe it before, but now that I think about it, it’s because I’m just an ordinary person. Only knights and fellow priests like you can truly see clearly and have a real impact on changing the world.”
The hotel manager is a middle-aged man with a mustache who has been saying nice things since just now.
"You are really good at talking, haha."
Keir dealt with it casually.
It wasn't until the two people who walked upstairs disappeared from everyone's sight in the lobby that the entire hotel lobby regained its vitality.
The merchants clinked another glass of wine silently, and then each sipped the tasteless wine in silence. Some people were thinking about leaving the hotel with their luggage now, while others were thinking about it.
Do you want to go up and get to know these two people? They seem to have some extraordinary origins and unknown whereabouts. Maybe they can make some money?
The male and female waiters started chattering again, and some people carefully watched the streets outside that were separated again and no longer blocked the road, and discussed with each other the many refugees from the southern provinces who were exchanging God-given food.
They were afraid that those people would attack their hotel because of these two young people with a background.
"Should we block the door with a dining table? Or close the windows that let in light?"
Someone made this suggestion, but today the boss is not here, and the stewards have also gone up to greet people. They can't make up their minds, so they have to send some people to guard the door, while others spread out to greet the guests.
If there are refugees attacking the hotel, they should quickly block the door, close the doors and windows, and then escape through the back door of the lobby into the courtyard.
The hotel is not their property anyway, so there is no need to fight for it, just make fun of it and deal with it.
-
The hotel manager found Kiel two medium-sized rooms facing each other, one with windows facing the street, and the other facing the door without windows.
"But there are oil lamps filled with oil inside. It won't smell bad after being lit, and there won't be much smoke. The house also has a transom that exhausts smoke into the corridor, so it's no problem to light the oil lamp all night!"
Facing the hotel manager's boast, Keir gave a perfunctory smile.
He placed Priest Batal in a room with a window near the street. He lay on his back on a bed stuffed with soft wool. He took off his boots and put them away. His equipment was still on, and the amber staff came from behind the priest.
Remove it and place it against the bedside wall.
Walking to the window, Kiel looked out carefully and found that the refugees were no longer gathering on the street. The soldiers at the checkpoint saw no risk of gathering and rioting, so they left a few people to monitor notifications, and the others
Under the leadership of the soldier captain, he returned to the military camp in the checkpoint.
The performance of the refugees also reassured Kiir.
Things have not slipped into the abyss of badness. You may think that these people who fled their hometowns when the situation was bad may not be brave enough or cowardly, but at least they did not want to join the bandits or the defeated army to help others.
Instead, they fled the dangerous area and came to the safer western province.
They are all ordinary people who cannot be called bad guys. Their original intention is not to gather most of them in this small checkpoint and be trapped, but this is the situation now. The local nobles do not want to let too many people from other places come in and cause an impact.
local order.
Perhaps, after Keir's observations from Cavan Territory to Montoka Territory, he felt that maybe the local nobles who control the Whitestone City Wall Pass also have reasons why they do not want to provide enough cheap labor force to Cavan Territory, which is upgrading its livestock industry.
Inside?
After all, I can’t see my brother suffering, let alone see him driving a Land Rover.
Keir still understands this truth. Cavernland and Montokaland live next to each other. Cavernland has always provided cheap livestock and agricultural primary products, while Montokaland has used its better trade and transportation status to earn money.
The transaction spread among them.
It can be said that they have severely suppressed the brothers' territory.
In this way, no matter how things develop in the future, the Kawen collar will never be able to surpass the Montoka collar. After all, the bulk of it has been taken away by others.
But now there is an opportunity in front of us. It is possible for Cavernland to use sufficient cheap manpower to upgrade the agricultural product processing industry. Although the dried and air-dried meat biltong is not as tender and delicious as the live animals, it can be sold more
Far away!
In the past, the city of Montauca could only take advantage of the advantageous transportation location to obtain a large share of their sales revenue. In fact, the livestock transshipment trade was controlled by the large and small chambers of commerce in Montauca City. But now, the products of Cavernland have become
For cattle and sheep skins, wool and shelf-stable meat, you can cooperate with larger merchant guilds in the distance and sell your products throughout the kingdom, even to other small kingdoms in the south.
The city of Montauca can no longer take advantage of the trade and take the majority of the trade income. It can only earn a small amount of tolls and taxes.
In line with the principle that money I have not earned is a loss, if Geir wants to come, Montoka City will definitely block the opening of the White Stone City Wall Level. I would rather let all the refugees now and in the future rot in this level than relax.
Let more people pass.
After all, there are not many refugees who can afford to pay fifty times the customs duty. With this small population, the Montoka region can absorb and accept it on its own, and there is no need for refugees to go to Cavan to endure hardships.
When his thoughts came back, Kil saw the hotel manager still standing at the door of the room with a cautious look on his face.
"What?" Kil asked.
"House keys, you see, these are the keys to two rooms." The steward took out the two keys that he had already selected from the key chain on his belt, took them out of the key chain neatly, and bent over and handed them to Ji.
you.
"This room is medium-sized No. 7, and the one opposite is medium-sized No. 16. Take it. Then I won't disturb your rest. Our waiters and I are all in the hall, whether it's washing, eating, or taking care of the horses.
You can contact us for errands, shopping, or repairing clothes. Of course, you only need to pay a small amount of coins."
"Well, let's go down."
