Another: Memory of Another World

47. Green Peacock Lodging

Rimun City is divided into 4 parts. In the heart of the city is a military barracks, a place where all sorts of government institutions are located. As well as being the training area of Duke Kremnvrill's troops. If someone walks close enough to the wall there, there will be yelling and yelling from the soldiers who train. At any given time, this area became a shelter for militias coming from various parts of the kingdom.

On the East side, there was a district for gold-robed people filled with majestic and spacious buildings. And high aesthetic art. The district was always heavily guarded by guards, be it local soldiers, or private soldiers. Although there were some shabbily dressed people who passed by occasionally, they were not the actual resident residents of this territory. Given the enemy territory that was to the east, no one knew why the great men chose this region as a place to live.

While on the west side, is an area where white and yellow collared residents live. Housing prices in this district are not too expensive, about 10-100 pieces of silver only. In terms of security, guards often patrol especially at night. But the main security came from the adventurers who chose to live in this area.

While on the south side, is the place of those who are less fortunate. Where people who even find it difficult to eat 2 times a day stay. The alleys of the city were filled with trash and became a den of vagrants. Finding street children in this place, is much easier than finding lodging. Because of the lack of social and economic conditions, many people are turning to small-time criminals.

With the Gold that Antares had, he could stay in the eastern district without having to worry about his finances. However, an unknown child of his origin, having a lot of money, would obviously be a concern for many people. For Antares, dealing with criminals was much easier than the office. After all Antares has the necessary power to do so.

The first thing that comes to mind Antares is to buy a house or rent to live in for a long time. However for the details, he would think about it after arriving at the inn.

The place he went to, was a building with a peacock symbol with a green tail that was not far from him.

From the outside, the building looks like a 3-story bar lit by candlelight. The walls are made of red bricks with many wooden windows. Because the day had begun to night, there were quite a number of people in the inn. I was enjoying dinner and a beer, laughing and singing, and heard from the street.

The setting is very easy to find in the fantasy of mid-Europe.

As soon as Antares stepped into the inn, the sight of the party tub immediately reflected in his eyes. The cheerful face of the person and the boisterous chaotic atmosphere, like touching the heart of Antares that began to freeze. Making a thin smile engraved on the face of the child.

"Welcome!" Greet the young girl who was busy going back and forth between the kitchen and the counter. "Do you want to stay or just have dinner?"

"We want to stay over." Steve replied casually.

"Alright, 1 silver coin per night for the middle room, and 5 silver coins for the upper class room. Breakfast and dinner are included."

"Do you have a room with 2 beds?"

"Yes, we have it."

Steve glanced at Antares to confirm his approval, and got a small nod from the boy.

"Then we order for 7 days.

"Everything is 7 pieces of silver, with 4 pieces to be paid upfront."

Steve took out a few coins from the bag and put them on the table. For a moment, Antares felt that someone was watching them among the crowd. The boy glanced at a corner without finding anyone suspicious, after which he simply rolled his eyes.

"Okay, in whose name?" The girl pulled out a book and a pencil, inscribed Steve's name on it. Then he pulled out a key with a specific number from the counter drawer. "I say, welcome to the green peacock inn, have a nice day."

"thank you. Can we have dinner today?"

"Yes, you can select the menu first. If you want to order special food at the top, then you have to pay an additional fee."

"Alright, order a Bear Meat Steak, Salad, and white bread. For the drink, warm milk mixed with honey and one glass of Lati Proof."

"Well, that means you have to pay 5 silver coins. Do you want to eat here or in the room?"

"This is it." Said the little boy who was silent earlier. Then the old man said, "As he said."

"Please wait a minute."

Steve did not speak anymore and immediately looked for an empty table, followed by a beautiful child behind him. A slightly unsettling look of eyes immediately flooded the Antares as soon as he walked through them. The gaze of those who want something, also those who see an opportunity.

The two people finally found an empty table that was a bit mojok. Steve placed the bag of money on the table, while looking at the child sitting next to him. "A crowded place" he said in a somewhat mysterious tone.

"True, even though there are no acquaintances in this place. I wonder what Crimson Vortex is doing right now."

"We can find out tomorrow, while going to survey the area and going to the trade association."

"Mh."

Their food came a few moments later. The slightly unusual smell of meat mixed with thick spices like greeting Antares' nose gently. Do not forget the aroma of milk-honey is still warm and fresh vegetables.

"Please enjoy."

"Thank you, young lady."

Steve instantly devoured the meat on his plate after swallowing a mouthful of Lati Proof. While Antares eavesdropped on people's conversations while putting in pieces of meat.

"Have you heard? Spies from the empire captured guards yesterday! and arrested in the eastern district!"

"Eh, does that mean there's a traitor among the nobles?"

"Hm, he may have joined the great merchant who came from Etreya."

"That's true too..."

Antares only nodded while listening... On the other side...……

"Hey, I heard there's a new girl in the brothel! I guess she's so pretty!"

"really? want to go after this?"

The tip of Antares' mouth twitched slightly upon hearing that conversation………

"Argh! what exactly happened these few days? Originally the city suddenly turned into a wilderness! Now many monsters are roaming all the way to the city limits!"

"I heard it was related to a certain god who should not be named."

"Hush! don't say it out loud, the monks of that temple won't behead you if they hear what you're saying."

Antares only scrunched up and then he switched to another conversation.

"Are you sure about that? I see he's not an easy parent to handle!" he said in a low voice.

"Just watch for now! Let the boss act later."

"Mhmm, that's a good idea."

No matter from any side, they were like they were making a dark transaction.

(connecting.).
