Chapter 240 (1/2)
Quixote and Sancho, they really opened their eyes today.
Ellington, who was originally thought to be extremely poor and almost everyone looked yellow and skinny, changed a lot in a short year.
Not only the dirty and narrow muddy streets disappeared, but also the low and dark small houses were demolished and replaced by spacious and flat black roads and various new houses with distinctive and unique styles.
If these are nothing, jikod felt that the dwarves and dwarfs he had witnessed would be one of the most important discoveries of the trip.
Although dwarves are occasionally seen in the human kingdom, they are generally guests of a big man and forging masters, so dwarves are nothing.
But thanks to the propaganda of the Gnome race, the totem, gnomes have no good image in human rumors.
Dirty, vulgar, stupid
In order to despise dwarfs, goblins use almost all the useful negative words in their propaganda, which also leads to the poor impression of dwarfs by many humans who have never seen dwarfs.
That's why Quixote was so shocked when he saw the team of dwarves, dwarfs and humans.
”So I said, ah, the strength of No. 2 alloy is still not enough, and the mixing proportion of refined gold needs to be increased.”
What's that dwarf talking about? Alloy? Refined gold?
”If you increase the proportion of refined gold, the quality and low price of universal alloy will disappear. The paver is not a weapon. Why do you need such high strength and put away your set!”
How dare the dwarf scold the dwarf? I must be dazzled, right?
”Two masters, no matter how... The problem of compensation is always inevitable?”
Edgar smiled bitterly, sandwiched between Brian and Nokia, and he could only be a peacemaker.
So Brian and Nokia looked at Quixote: ”lose money!”
... after losing his money and regaining his freedom, Quixote couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
”Captain Quixote, this Ellington is strange!”
Sancho whispered, ”dwarves, dwarfs and humans can coexist harmoniously. Doesn't it mean that most dwarves and dwarfs have returned to the depths of the mountain in order to avoid conflict with humans?”
”That's right, but you can't organize them to come out.”
Quixote shook his head. Although what had just happened made him feel bad, now he was in a happier mood.
”Captain Quixote?”
”Sancho, and you, don't look at me like that, use your brain!”
Quixote looked at them with a look of hatred for iron and steel: ”think about it, Ellington has dwarves and dwarfs here! What does this mean? It shows that the rumor that Ellington's business with the elves is likely to be true!”
”That is to say -”
Sangqiu's eyes brightened: ”elf family, really show up!”
”Probably.”
Jikod lowered his voice: ”don't talk nonsense here. If someone hears us, we'll be in trouble. Stay in Ellington today and take a day off tomorrow to see if we can find out anything about the elves.”
Sancho laughed: ”of course not!”
The party came to the only hotel in Ellington town. Naturally, it was the oak heart tavern of old Tom and aunt Fanny.
After seeing old Tom, jikod was relieved. Fortunately, the owner of the tavern had not changed.
”Hoo... Did you find it? It's so cool in the tavern!”
”Really!”
”Don't talk.”
Quixote gave a reprimand and then shouted to his boss, ”boss, come to seven guest rooms!”
”Yo, this guest looks a little familiar. Did he come last year?”
There were not many people in Ellington all year round, so old Tom remembered jikod, and jikod was not surprised.
Seeing so many customers, he couldn't close his mouth with a smile: ”how many people live for a few days?”
”Two days.”
”OK, there are fourteen gold coins in total. Please pay first.”
Jikod, who was taking out his wallet, froze there: ”sorry, how much?”
”Fourteen gold coins.”
”Boss, are you teasing me?”
Jikod was furious: ”when I came here last year, a double room was only ten silver coins a night! How did it rise tenfold in a year?”
”The standards are different. Our tavern rooms have just been... Renovated and upgraded... Is that right?”
Aunt Fanny nodded, and then old Tom said with a smile: ”under the leadership of the wise lord, our Ellington is very different from before. Believe me, after living, you will find that the price of a gold coin for one night is really worth it.”
Although Quixote was full of resentment, this was the only place Ellington could live.
”Sancho, lend me gold coins!”
Sancho looked unbelievable: ”Captain!?”
”What are you looking at?”
Quixote cursed with a black face: ”just fined, I paid all the money! Where are the gold coins!”
”But we don't have much...”
”Don't talk nonsense! Hurry up!”
Fourteen people you pit me and I dig you. After a long time, I reluctantly collected enough twelve gold coins and two hundred silver coins to squeeze out the room money.
Old Tom smiled and handed them the room key: ”guest, it's still the same on the second floor. I'm a little busy. Please help yourself.”
