Because the hotel had just opened, there were no other guests except for a few waiters with sleepy eyes. Beta and Jessica went inside, looked around, and found that the layout of the hotel was really good, it looked luxurious and clean.
There is a reason why you are expensive, and this sentence makes sense most of the time.
Beta put down two gold coins on the waiter's table and said, "Accept us according to the best standard, if you don't have enough money, tell my maid."
The waiter who opened the door saw the gold coins, his eyes lit up, he nodded repeatedly, and said vigorously: "Your Excellency, don't worry, we are the best hotel in the city, and we will definitely make you feel at home."
"By the way, what's going on in the city, the atmosphere is very wrong." Beta pointed outside: "There is a feeling that everyone is in danger."
The hotel owner hesitated for a while, and finally sighed and said: "Your Excellency's eyes are really sharp, it's not that there is a conflict between the Temple of Light and the city lord, and now we don't know which side to stand on, no matter which side, people like us can't offend big shot."
"The Temple of Light?"
Beta was a little surprised. Judging from the situation outside the city just now, it should be the God of Hunger who controls the power of the city. Why did it turn into the Temple of Light again in the city
And the task also stated that the city was controlled by evil forces... He thought for a while, and then came to a conclusion that surprised him.
This city may still be under the control of the Temple of Light from the outside, but in fact, it has been... But this doesn't make much sense. If the temple of a city is conquered by internal corrosion, outsiders may not know it. But the Goddess of Light should always know that the gods are the most sensitive to the line of belief.
Could it be that the Goddess of Light is sleeping, which is why she is indifferent to the beliefs of the human world
And Beta remembered that before Roya left, she seemed to have said that there was something wrong with the Goddess of Light.
Could this have something to do with the upcoming jihad
While thinking, Beta and Jessica went up to the second floor and rested for a while. Not long after, a young tourist couple dressed as Kyle and Barbara also moved in. The four met Tsukuru face to face, but they pretended not to know each other at all.
After resting in the hotel for a while, Beta took Jessica out to go shopping. The door of the hotel was ajar, which didn't seem to be the way of business.
Of course, the atmosphere in the city is too weird right now. It is reasonable for the door to be half-closed without any guests.
The waiter who was sweeping the floor near the door wanted to stop Beta when he saw Beta leaving, but gave up after a while and continued with his work.
When they went out to the street, Beta felt the tense atmosphere on the street again. He and Jessica wandered around aimlessly. According to his experience, in this kind of atmosphere, if you walk around casually, you can always encounter something.
As long as there is an emergency, it is easy to find an entry point. If it is not possible, he can still go to the City Lord's Mansion. After all, he is now a nobleman and a spellcaster. It is not a big deal to meet a City Lord. Difficult.
Jessica was very happy when she went shopping, but then she became disappointed when she saw that there were no vendors selling anything on the street.
After walking on the street for about half an hour, Beta noticed that the crowd in front suddenly panicked and ran in his direction.
Seeing the "emergency" that he was expecting, Beta threw Jessica into the space of Hao Zhai without any hesitation, then pushed aside the crowd, and went upstream, and soon he came to the spot where the incident happened near.
Here is the center of the city, the spacious Fountain Square.
At this moment, the opposite side had already started a fight, and the three bright priests in white robes faced seventeen soldiers in gray uniforms, who looked like city guards.
Generally speaking, the combat effectiveness of city guards is not too strong, but this team of city guards is an exception. The leader is a young man with very strong skills. Or slash, but they were all blocked by the opponent's magic light shield.
The light shield of the Temple of Light is notoriously strong.
Another dozen soldiers surrounded the three priests of Guangming. Their strength might not be as strong as the leading young man, but the dozen of them formed an encirclement circle and used the iron protection in their hands to block magic, so they did not lose the wind.
Although the impact of the magic light bullet is strong, one shot can knock the shield holder back a few steps, and even the shield cannot be held firmly for a while, but the person next to him will immediately push up and protect the attacked person behind him.
The two are in a balance for the time being, but if it continues, Beta feels that Priest Guangming will win.
Beta was thinking about continuing to watch, and when it was time to go up and do something, the young leader on the opposite side stepped away, and the light bullet that lost its target hit Beta directly in front of him.
"Get out of the way."
The white-robed priest who shot out the light bullet yelled anxiously.
Beta flicked his fingers, and an invisible magic power directly blew the magic light bullet away.
At this time, Beta revealed its magic capacity, which directly shocked the two parties. They stopped at the same time and looked at Beta not far away.
"Passing by, you continue."
Beta smiled and made a gesture of invitation.
It was impossible to fight in this situation, and the two sides glared at each other fiercely. The white-robed priest who almost attacked Beta bowed down to apologize to Beta from a distance, and then left with his two companions.
Under the gesture of the young leader, the encirclement was opened.
After the three white-robed priests left, the young leader made a contemptuous gesture towards their backs, then he walked up to Beta and said with admiration: "Your Excellency, you are very powerful. This magic capacity, At least at the master level."
The young man in front of him had a heroic appearance. Beta smiled: "The people in the Temple of Light are generally pretty good, why did you have a conflict with them?"
The young man scratched his head: "Your Excellency has just come to our city of Bertram. I admit that they are indeed good people, but good people may not satisfy everyone, are you right?"
Beta nodded: "Indeed, interests and positions will cause conflicts. What kind of people are you?"
The young man was unwilling to say more, he laughed and said, "Are you interested in coming to my house... Let me introduce myself, I am the son of the local city lord, Alex."
In Beta's heart, there was a sense of joy in his heart that "it's easy to get here". He originally wanted to meet with the local city lord and find out about the situation in the city. Now the city lord's son came to invite and introduce him, which couldn't be better.
"Alright, I just wanted to meet your father too."
Hearing Beta's words, the young man's eyes blinked twice.
