The heavy rain was still falling until after 6 o'clock in the morning.
When Sidlifa woke up, she saw Ask sitting by the window.
The cabinet that originally blocked the window had been moved away, and rain continued to pour in through the gaps between the wood and the linen. Ask moved a chair to the side, crossed his legs and sat on the chair, staring outside motionlessly.
It's morning already!
Sidlifa couldn't suppress her regret. She had originally planned to spend the night with the captain, but ended up falling asleep early last night. How disappointing.
She pounded the bed angrily.
Ask turned around, and Sidlifa quickly smiled.
Then she saw the water on the floor: "This is..."
"It rained heavily all night," Ask replied.
Sidlifa:
How could a heavy rain fall like this? Even the third floor was flooded
"Let's check out," Ask said.
"Oh." Sidlifa got up from the bed and started to change her clothes.
If it were the old Ask, he would probably ask Sidlifa to step aside... or step aside himself. However, at this moment, he just stared outside absentmindedly, as if he was thinking about something.
Sidlifa stood up after changing her clothes, tied her long white hair neatly behind her head, put on her long over-the-knee boots, stepped a few times in the puddles on the floor, and asked, "Shall we go?"
"Let's go," said Ask.
When the two reached the corner of the stairs leading to the first floor, they saw that the water in the lobby on the first floor had reached waist height.
Behind the counter, the orc boss was lying on a small boat, looking outside with some boredom.
Obviously, if the heavy rain continued like this, his hotel business would really be ruined.
Seeing Ask and the other man coming down the stairs, the orc boss quickly rowed the boat closer and asked:
"Does the guest want to check out?"
"Check out," Ask replied.
After paying the rent, the orc boss looked behind them and said in surprise:
"Where are your wives? Did they leave early?"
There were eight of us when we arrived, but only two were left when we checked out, which really surprised the boss. The water outside was almost up to the waist, and we couldn't get out without a boat!
"Haha." Ask didn't answer his question, but just smiled and said, "The water level outside is getting higher and higher. Didn't the guest yesterday say that we could run to the mountains?"
"Really?" The orc boss scratched his head.
"That's a good idea." Ask nodded and said, "You can consider it."
Orc Boss:
Wait, didn’t you say that taking a boat is safer than climbing a mountain
As if he saw what he was thinking, Ask added:
"This storm is not natural, understand?"
That was all he had to say. If he continued to explain, the other party might not believe him. So after he finished speaking, he turned around and said:
"Sidlifa?"
"Okay." Sidlifa nodded and stepped into the water.
The moment the bottom of her boots touched the water, the ice spread from her feet to the surrounding area, quickly creating a layer of floating ice.
