Roman raised his small face and looked at the wooden signboard, a lovely blush on his face from the coolness of the night. Even in early summer, the night temperature in high mountains is still very low.
A mottled galloping horse was painted on the wooden signboard that had long been soaked into black by wind and rain. She didn't recognize the words written on it, but Roman guessed it should be here. She put her hands on her baby's leather bag, raised her head and rubbed the ground with her round-toed leather boots and hesitated for a while-should it be here? What's that running horse hotel
In response to the long sounding alarm bells in the distance, a group of guards passed by her. However, the merchant lady was not too scared. Instead, she looked at the guards curiously, watching the other side walk away. The alarm finally stopped, and she let out a little breath before turning around and walking into the hotel.
The owner of the running horse hotel is a dwarf, as described in the story—has a long, ripe wheat-colored beard, with bunches of whips tied on it, hooped with brass rings—those The rings are all allusive, with patterns like'·········' printed on them. Of course, they are in fact the text of the stone, the text of the dwarf. The name of the family is written on it, and each ring is a birth. Famous families such as "fire beard", "stone seal" and "luxury jewelry" can even use precious and heavy gold rings.
These rings are the source of their pride just like the beards of the dwarves. The family of the dwarves has a history of more than a thousand years. They will walk around wearing these things proudly, clinking. But dwarves are not common in human society. The owner of the Galloping Horse Inn, Gunn Barbarossa Rock Hall, makes good use of this advantage. He deliberately dresses himself up as a big figure, and pays for private discussion. Denial again. People always visit this mysterious dwarf lord with curiosity, and Gunn’s business is naturally getting bigger and bigger.
Gunn was wearing a silk-woven robe today, and three ruby rings, an opal ring and an emerald ring were put on his short fingers. If it's not his nephew-of course, it's a human being. Gunn’s ability to gain a foothold in human society will naturally have some human relationships. As for why the dwarves have a human relative, this matter may only start after three days and three nights, so our focus is-he is in white The nephew who served in the Mane Legion was pressing his shoulder, one by one, telling him what to order. The young man has a companion beside him, and the two of them seem to have been here for a while.
"You mean if I see a little girl, no matter what she asks, I must agree to her first? But why, what if she asks me to give her all the family properties? No, no, this proposal sounds too stupid. Now." The dwarf boss shook his head and mumbled.
"Uncle Gunn, listen to me. I am not asking you to give her the family property, but to prepare a carriage for her, so that she will not be suspicious. Then I will prepare another one for us to follow her."
"Only the carriage?" Gunn stared suspiciously at his nephew with small eyes.
"certainly."
"Well, will she pay?"
The young guy from the Whitemane Legion sighed, knowing his uncle’s temperament, he quickly said: “Of course she will, but you don’t want to bargain with her too much. Don’t scare her away, as long as Uncle Gunn is willing to help. , This credit must be mine, understand!"
"I still don't understand, but you like that girl? So I can consider giving you a 9.95% discount."
"No, that's not the case! In fact, that is the case. The girl is actually a spy for Madara. They escaped from the dungeon, and they must be anxious to get out of the city. Captain Luc Besson asked us to come out and stare at every possible channel for them to get out of the city— "
"Then why don't you just grab her." Gunn asked strangely.
Parker slapped his forehead and sighed: "Uncle Gunn, she still has many accomplices. In order to catch them all at once, we have to find a way to relax their vigilance and follow them quietly! Do you understand?"
"Still don't quite understand."
"Well, in short, don't worry, Uncle Gunn, I will help you make up for the money she underpaid."
"Relax your vigilance and meet her request? I understand if you say that." The dwarf boss nodded.
But although he is pretentious, he is quick to do things. After a while, the waiter was invited to order, and he ran back and asked: "I have arranged it. When will the girl come?"
"I don't know, I hope she will come to our side first, I can't let the fellow Granson look down on it." The young man sighed, but felt that his companion was slapped on his shoulder desperately. He raised his head to look outside and jumped up excitedly. He immediately pushed the dwarf forward: "It's her, she's coming! Come on, uncle, it's up to you!"
"Relax, young man. Don't push me forward like a bag of potatoes. I have been in business for thirty years, and of course I know what to do." Gunn did not forget to boast at the last minute.

When Roman walked into this hotel, she couldn't help but look around curiously. She had never seen this style of architectural decoration that used a lot of stone before. Seeing the low walls and pillars of the stone ramparts, she felt a familiarity in her heart. a feeling of. The future merchant lady was looking around, but saw a dwarf with a beard almost dragging to the ground stood in front of her.
"Are you a dwarf?" she asked.
"No, I am a dwarf." The innkeeper corrected seriously.
"Mr. Short, are you the boss here?"
"It's a dwarf, not a short person. Girl, do you understand?-Of course, I am the boss here."
"But I want to find a place to rent a carriage. Do you rent a carriage here?"
"Of course, otherwise you think I am doing here."
"Do I need to pay?" Roman was still looking at the hotel curiously.
"Of course, the principle of doing business is to clear both the money and the goods. We charge according to the number of days the guest rents, but in principle, the Benma Hotel generally does not provide rentals for more than one day away from the city. And if the carriage is damaged because of the guests , We want to make a claim at the price. In fact, our driver has the right to refuse an order that may threaten his life. Of course, this article will be invalid if it conflicts with the previous one..." When it comes to business, tribute Yeah, I started talking endlessly.
"How much does it cost for me to rent only a small half-day?"
"Thirty Thor."
Roman took out a blue-gray pocket, shook his hand, and dropped out two or three coppers. She raised her head and asked with an immaculate expression: "But I only have so much money, can I rent it?"
"You can rent a wheel..." Gunn originally wanted to answer that, but he suddenly remembered his nephew's words and changed his words: "Well, although it's missing some-girl, when do you plan to ask for the car?"
"I want it soon, how can I find my car?"
"The car is parked at the back. This is your number plate. You can find your car by holding it. By the way, do you want me to take you there?" Gong En handed it over a bronze plate, he remembered that he had it. I haven't done a loss-making business for many years.
"No, there are some friends out there, I have to ask them their opinions. Can we settle the settlement first?"
"Of course, having money and money is my favorite thing." Gunn wiped his forehead, feeling that this business really violated his principles. But in terms of the face of the nephew, of course, the main reason is that he can get compensation.
On the other hand, Parker, the dwarf's nephew, and his partner hid in the kitchen, and saw Roman walk out of the hotel with a little contented expression. Then they ran out together, grabbed his uncle and asked, "How is it, did you succeed?"
"Of course, you don't look at who your uncle Gunn is. I've done business with insatiable ogres before." The dwarf couldn't help repeating the previous details. But when Parker heard it, he slapped his forehead and yelled: "Martha is here, what did you do, Uncle Gunn, she must know we are here! She won't go in your carriage anymore, Uncle Gunn, we Screw things up!"
"What's wrong?"
"How can a businessman do business regardless of gains and losses, one-tenth of the price, Uncle Gunn, you're overkill! I didn't expect that woman is so clever, she must have doubted at first, what else did she say?" Young People didn't expect that his uncle was kind enough to do bad things, and he looked annoyed.
"She said she was going to ask her peers for their opinions."
"Companion?" Parker and his companion looked at each other, and immediately chased them out together. The dwarf boss left behind and shouted: "I said wait, you two bastards, you promised to give me the money!"
He hummed angrily: "The young people nowadays don't have any thoughts of respecting the elderly." But when he turned around, he saw the waiter in his shop running over, bending over and saying to him, "Big boss, you arranged it. The carriage has already driven away."
"The carriage I arranged? What carriage did I arrange?" Gunn felt that he was going to be confused, and looked at his waiter in a puzzled manner.
"It's the one that you said, she has to satisfy all her requirements."
"By the way, that lady is so beautiful and has a nice personality. Is she the lover of Master Parker?" The waiter also exclaimed.
"What!" The dwarf looked at him with cannibal eyes.
…
"Miss, where are we going?"
The carriage drove forward with the sound of the skeletal wheels of the carriage, and the scenery on both sides of the window retreated quickly. All this made the girl feel novel, but the question came from outside the carriage soon—
"I like to see the scenery. Let's go to the South Gate first. Then go around the North Gate. Is there any scenery on the way?"
"Of course, we should pass by the Everton Knights' mansion."
"Everton, who is that?"
"Knight of Everton, that's a famous hero..."
…
As Brando and Charles climbed all the way to the spire of Yusong Castle, they looked down and couldn't help taking a breath of air-conditioning. Outside, the private soldiers of the nobles almost kept the castle closed. The stray mercenaries held the torches, and the dots of flames joined together, like a fire dragon coiling around the Songbao moat.
The private soldiers of the nobles have broken through the gates, invaded the outer court, and are about to enter the castle soon. The loud noise made by wind bullets made these nobles also realize that it was not good, and began to prepare for a storm.
Brando and his young wizard Hu Cong looked at the scene below, and their expressions were a little irritating. It seemed like a miracle to break through—though they had a gargoyle to rely on, but the gargoyle didn’t necessarily fly high with two people.
Brando held his breath and became nervous a little uncertain. He pointed to another fire dragon in the distance and said, "Did you see it? The Whitemane Legion is here too—"
"I'd rather not see it, Lord Lord."
"That's true."
