Lord Highlander

  Chapter 177 176. Song of the Wind

The older child led Suerdak to the door of a hotel called 'Epson Wind Song'. This is a tall building with four floors. The whole building looks like a pair of wings that spread their wings and fly. Its back faces the most famous municipal square in Epsom City. There is a neat row of magic caravans outside the main entrance of this hotel. Nobles are constantly coming in and out at the door. Those magic caravans are waiting in front of the hotel. At the door, as long as the guests who come out of the hotel reach out to say hello, a magic caravan can be called to the front.

  Seeing the waiters walking back and forth at the door of the hotel, the elder child became a little afraid and did not want to move forward.

  The older child handed over the reins in his hand to Suldak, then leaned against the wall and hid himself in the shadows, saying to Suldak:

"Master Knight, this is the most famous 'Epson Wind Song' in Epson City. When you choose a room in it, you must take the initiative to explain to the receptionist there that you want a small room with a south balcony on the second floor. Single room, without any other services in the hotel, including breakfast provided by the hotel."

  Suldak had a bunch of questions in his heart, and before he could ask, the older child spoke quickly again:

   "If you don't take the initiative to mention this, the front desk attendant there will definitely not think of giving you a room in the south."

  He pointed to the rooms facing the street, and said to the Suldak knight:

"The rooms on the north side can only see the side of the hotel facing the street, and they are not the top view room of the hotel. What's so interesting about the busy traffic on the street, and all the rooms have no balcony. Only the rooms on the south side can see the City Hall Square. There is a very magical teleportation gate in the square over there. It is said that through the teleportation gate, you can go to a very rich place, which is called "Roland Continent". It is a main plane, much better than the Warsaw plane. Well, even the slums are villas, where people drink magic water that never ends..."

   After he finished speaking, his face showed yearning, but then he woke up and said:

"Oh, by the way, don't choose the hotel's breakfast service. A breakfast in Song of the Wind costs one silver coin. In fact, what you can eat is white bread, fried eggs and a few slices of sausage. If you don't mind walking more in the morning In a few steps, you can go through here to the edge of the DC area, which is the most famous restaurant street in Epsom City. There are various breakfasts on the street, and you can enjoy a delicious chicken roll and corn for less than 20 copper coins Cake, this is the most characteristic breakfast in Epsom City."

  Suldak carefully wrote down every word the older child said, and kept nodding.

   "Is there anything else you need me to do?" Finally the eldest child asked Suldak again.

  Suldak smiled and scraped the elder boy's face, and said to him:

"If you can guarantee that all of these are true, then you can wait for me here at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. I want to visit Epsom City tomorrow, but I just need a guide who is familiar with this place to accompany me all day. If so, I can pay you one silver coin and fifty coppers!"

  The older child didn’t expect to receive a fat job. He stared at Surdak with wide eyes and asked loudly:

   "Really? Sir Knight."

  Suldak nodded with great certainty.

   "Then... Lord Knight, see you tomorrow!"

  The older boy stood in the shadows, almost jumping for joy.

   "See you tomorrow, boy!" Suldak felt that this was a very intelligent child.

  That's why I temporarily decided to ask him to continue to be my guide tomorrow.

   "My name is Mashenka, Sir Knight." The eldest child said proactively.

   "Okay, see you tomorrow, Mashenka." Suldak called the older child's name again, saying goodbye to the older child.

   "I will wait for you here early...Master Knight." Before the older child got into the alley, he turned his head and shouted at Suldak.

  …

  Suldak handed the reins to the waiter at the door, and then strode into the lobby on the first floor of the hotel with his chest out.

The lobby on the first floor of this Wind Song hotel is at least ten times larger than that of the 'Maple Pudding' hotel in Handanal City. The shiny marble floor clearly reflects the figures walking on it. The crystal chandeliers in the hall are decorated with colorful flowers, and the stone pillars in the hall are engraved with exquisite artistic portraits. All the marble statues have a pair of white wings on their backs. The faces of these figures who are about to fly are very delicate. Mark of Wind and Lightning.

   There are a lot of people in the lobby, especially at the front desk.

  Suldak decided to wait.

Just when Suldak was standing in front of a statue in a daze, an old man with the appearance of a scholar was holding a heavy magic book and approached Suldak with a wrinkled face full of smiles , curiously asked Suldak: "Why? Your Excellency seems to be more interested in the Nephalan in ancient times?"

  How does Suldak know about the Nephalan in ancient times?

  So he said honestly: "Ah, I just think they have a pair of wings on their backs, why do they have a single horn on their foreheads?"

  The scholar-like old man was not annoyed, but enthusiastically introduced this kind of relevant knowledge to Suldak:

"The Nephalan are the first generation of humans who were born after the combination of angels and demons, possessing both divinity and demonic nature. The pair of wings behind them are not the ordinary wings of the winged humans, but the wings of angels that are said to be able to control all wind magic. The long horns on their heads are not the horns of ordinary demons, but the horns of demons that are said to be able to absorb all mana outside the body. These Nephalan have obtained the ancient scrolls, and at the same time inherited the power of angels and demons, not only have Strong physique, can also control magic, they were born a combination of good and evil, but these ancient first-generation humans did not exist for a long time, the high-level council of the temple in the Kingdom of God believes that these first-generation humans have the ability to destroy the world strength, they will continue to deprive them of their abilities until they completely disappear..."

  The scholar-like old man talked a lot, and when He Boqiang listened with gusto, a waiter came over to him and said:

   "Knight Suldak, it's your turn."

  Suldak felt a little unsatisfied, so he apologized to the old man and said:

   "Sorry, I will have the opportunity to listen to you tell this fairy tale in the future."

  The old man's face was calm, and he only said: "This is not a fairy tale, this is a history hidden before the ancient Titans."

   Then he turned and walked towards another noble couple. They seemed to show a little interest in the statues in the hall. The old man recounted what he had told Suldak to this couple again...

   A well-dressed male waiter stood at the front desk, took the nameplate that Suldak handed over with both hands, and said to Suldak:

   "Knight Suldak, what can I do for you?"

  Suldak remembered what Mashenka said before leaving, and said:

   "Please open me a small single room on the second floor with a south balcony."

  The male waiter was a little surprised, his face returned to normal, and he said to Surdak:

   "Uh... ok! Knight Surdak, how many nights do you plan to stay?"

   Unexpectedly, as Mashenka said, there is such a room.

  Suldak continued: "Two nights, no other services, no breakfast!"

  The male waiter’s expression was a bit grim, but he still bit the bullet and said: “Okay, Knight Suldak, you need seven silver coins per night, and you need fourteen silver coins in total. You seem to know us well…”
