Scene 52 Little Roman Can't Be so Risky
[[[CP|W:250|H:301|A:C|U:]]] (Ramona Darkyao's work, The Year of the Golden Leaf——)
***************************
Roman looked up at the wooden signboard with his small face up, a lovely blush appeared on his face due to the coolness of the night. Even in early summer, the temperature at night in the high mountain area is still very low.
A mottled galloping horse was painted on the wooden signboard that had already been soaked into black by the wind and rain. She couldn't read the writing on it, but Roman guessed it should be here. She put her hands on her precious leather bag, raised her head and rubbed the ground with her round-toed leather boots, hesitated for a while—should it be here? What is that galloping horse hotel?
In response to the long ringing of alarm bells in the distance, a group of guards passed by her. But the merchant lady wasn't too scared. Instead, she looked at the guards curiously and watched them walk away. The alarm bell finally stopped, and she let out a small sigh of relief before turning around and walking into the hotel.
The keeper of the Galloping Inn was a dwarf, just as the stories describe—with a long beard the color of ripe wheat, with bundles of whips bound about in rings of brass— —Those rings all have allusions, and patterns like '??????????' are printed on them. Of course, they are actually written in stone, written by dwarves. The name of the family is written on it, and each ring is a family origin. Famous families such as 'Firebeard', 'Stone Seal', and 'Luxury Jewelry' can even use precious and heavy gold rings.
These rings are as much a source of pride as the beards of the dwarves, whose families are more than a thousand years old, and they walk about wearing them with pride, tinkling. However, dwarves are not common in human society. The owner of the Galloping Horse Inn, Gunn Barbarossa Rock Hall, took advantage of this advantage—he deliberately dressed himself up as a big shot, paid people to discuss privately, He came forward to deny it again. People always came to visit this mysterious dwarf lord with curiosity, and Gunn's business naturally grew bigger and bigger.
Gunn was wearing a silk robe today, and on his plump fingers were three ruby rings, an opal ring and an emerald ring. If it wasn't his nephew—human, of course. If Gunn can gain a foothold in human society, there will naturally be some human relations. As for why the dwarves have a human relative, I am afraid that this matter has only been discussed for three days and three nights, so our focus is-he is in The nephew who served in the White Mane Legion was pressing his shoulders, telling him something one by one. The young man was accompanied by a companion, and the two of them seemed to have been here for some time.
"You mean if I see a little girl, no matter what she asks, I have to agree to her first? But why, what if she asks me to give her all the family property, no, no, this proposal sounds too stupid Already." The dwarf boss shook his head vigorously and muttered.
"Uncle Gunn, listen to me. I'm not asking you to give her the family property, but to prepare a carriage for her, so as not to make her suspicious. Then prepare another one for us to follow her."
"It's just a carriage?" Gunn stared suspiciously at his nephew with small eyes.
"certainly."
"Well, will she pay?"
The young man of the White Mane Legion sighed, knowing his uncle's temperament, he hurriedly said: "Of course she will, but don't bargain too hard with her. Don't scare her away, as long as you are willing to help Uncle Gunn , this credit must belong to me, understand!"
"I still don't understand, but you like that girl? In this way, I can consider giving you a 15% discount."
"No, that's not true! It's true, that girl is Madara's spy. They escaped from the dungeon,
They must be in a hurry to get out of the city now, 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 grab her directly." Gunn asked strangely.
Parker slapped his forehead and sighed, "Uncle Gunn, she still has many accomplices. In order to catch them all, we have to find a way to relax their vigilance and follow them quietly! Do you understand?"
"Still don't understand."
"Well, all in all, don't worry, Uncle Gunn, I will help her make up for the underpayment."
"Relax your vigilance and meet her request? I understand when you say that." The dwarf boss nodded.
But even though he was fussy, he was quick to do things. After a while, the waiter was summoned to order to go down, and he ran back and asked, "I've made arrangements, when will that girl come?"
"I don't know, I hope she will come to us first, I can't let that guy Granson look down on me." The young man sighed, but felt his companion was patting him on the shoulder desperately. He raised his head to look outside, and jumped up excitedly. He immediately pushed the dwarf forward: "That's her, here she comes! Come on, uncle, it's up to you!"
"Relax, young man. Don't push me forward like a sack of potatoes. I've been in business for thirty years, so of course I know what to do." Gunn still boasted at the last moment.

When Roman walked into this hotel, she couldn't help looking around curiously. She had never seen this kind of architectural decoration style that used a lot of stone materials before, but she could see the low walls and pillars of the stone base, and she felt a familiar feeling in her heart. a feeling of. The future business lady was looking around, but saw a dwarf with a beard almost dragging to the ground standing in front of her.
"Are you a dwarf?" she asked.
"No, I'm a dwarf." The innkeeper corrected seriously.
"Mr. Shorty, are you the boss here?"
"Dwarves, not short people. Do you understand, little girl?—Of course, I'm the boss here."
"But I want to find a place to rent a carriage. Do you rent carriages here?"
"Of course, otherwise, what do 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 keep money and goods. We charge according to the number of days the guest rents out, but in principle, the Galloping Horse Hotel generally does not provide rentals beyond the city for more than one day. And if the carriage is damaged due to the guest , we have to claim compensation according to the price. In fact, our coachman still has the right to refuse orders that may threaten his life safety. Of course, if this article conflicts with the previous one, it will be invalid..." When it comes to business, Gunn began to chatter.
"How much will it cost if I only rent it for half a day?"
"Thirty Thor."
Roman took out a blue-gray bag, shook it in his hand, and dropped out two or three copper coins. She raised her head and asked with a flawless face: "But I only have so much money, can I rent it?"
"You can rent a wheel..." Gunn originally wanted to answer this way, but he suddenly remembered his nephew's words and changed his words abruptly: "Okay, although there are a few less—little girl, when do you plan to ask for a 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 with it. By the way, do you want me to take you there?" Gunn handed over a bronze plate with heartache. He remembered that he had I haven't done a loss-making business in many years.
"No need, there are still some friends outside, I have to ask their opinions. Can we settle the settlement first?"
"Of course, getting both money and goods is my favorite thing." Gunn wiped his forehead, feeling that this business really violated his principles. But for the sake of his nephew, of course, he reluctance to do it once because he can get compensation.
On the other side, the dwarf's nephew Parker and his partner hid in the kitchen and saw Roman walking out of the hotel with a small face of satisfaction. Then they ran out together, grabbed his uncle and asked, "How is it, have you got it?"
"Of course, you don't look at who your uncle Gunn is. I used to do business with greedy ogres." The dwarf couldn't help repeating the previous details. But when Parker heard it, he slapped his forehead and shouted: "Martha, what have you done, Uncle Gunn, she must know we are here! She won't go to your carriage, 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 are too kind! I didn't expect that woman to be so clever. She must have been suspicious from the very beginning. What else did she say?" Young He didn't expect his uncle to do bad things with good intentions, and he looked annoyed.
"She said she was going to ask her companion's opinion."
"Companion?" Parker and his companion looked at each other, and immediately chased them out together. The dwarf boss was left behind and shouted: "I said wait, you two little bastards, the money you promised to give me!"
He was so angry that he snorted, "Young people nowadays don't have the slightest intention to respect the elderly." But when he turned around, he saw the waiter in his shop running over, bent down and said to him, "Boss, you arranged the old man." The carriage has 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 confusion for a moment.
"It's the one you said that she would meet all her requirements."
"Speaking of which, that lady is really beautiful and has a good personality. Is she the lover of Master Parker?" The waiter also praised.
"What!" The dwarf looked at him with cannibalistic eyes.
...
"Miss, where are we going?"
The carriage was moving forward with the sound of the wheels rolling, and the scenery on both sides of the window was receding quickly, all of which made the girl feel novel, but the question soon came from outside the carriage——
"I like to look at the scenery. Let's go to the south gate first. Then we will go around to the north gate. Is there any scenery on the way?"
"Of course, we should pass by the Everton Cavaliers' mansion."
"Everton, who is that?"
"Everton Cavaliers, that is a famous hero..."

When Brando and Charles climbed all the way to the top of the tower of Usson Castle, they looked down and couldn't help but gasped. Outside, the private soldiers of the nobles almost surrounded the castle completely. Those miscellaneous mercenaries held torches, and the dots of fire were connected together, like a fire dragon coiled outside the moat of Yusong Castle.
The noble private soldiers have broken through the city gate, entered the outer court, and will soon enter the castle. The loud noise made by the wind bomb technique made these nobles realize that it was not good, and began to prepare for a strong attack.
Seeing the scene below, Brando and his young wizard followers couldn't help but feel a little unhappy. Breaking out of the siege seemed like a miracle—although they had gargoyles to rely on, but the gargoyles could not fly high with two people on board.
Brando held his breath, tensed a little uncertainly, he pointed to another fire dragon in the distance and said, "Did you see, the White Mane Legion is coming too—"
"I'd rather not see it, my lord."
"That's true."
