The Musafir

Stores in the Inn

SHOULD Mantingan go to the store to get what he needs?

Now it is realized that it is natural that the information concerning the lake and the forest of martial sale is expensive.

It may be quite easy to get news and information about the martial world. Just by entering the store and sitting for one or two tea drinkers, they can get news from various conversations of the warriors in the store.

However, to be separated from heavy dependents after hearing the news, is not something easy. Usually for warriors who do not like the presence of other warriors in the tavern when they are exchanging news, will kill the swordsman secretly after all their business in the tavern is finished.

Although the risk can be slightly overcome by disguising as a layman, the same is not highlighted by a sword at all. But sometimes, people in the martial world are able to easily distinguish between warrior steps and ordinary steps. If it's caught red-handed like that, then, so it can be ascertained that the swordsman who is undercover without carrying the weaponry will be very bad luck—unless he mastered the science of high empty hands and always put up vigilance even though he has long left the store though.

Mantingan certainly will not do such a thing because it not only endangers himself, but also the North River Angel and all the ambush plans are kept tightly by Tarumanagara and the White Wind College.

Then the only thing he can do now to achieve that goal is and only practice. It is possible that with a little more training in the Science of Hearing Dew Drops, the range of hearing can increase.

Although there is no mention of the limit of the farthest distance that the Science of Hearing Dew Drops and only mention that the science can be controlled at will in eleven spears away, still there is little possibility that the science can reach more than eleven spears.

The sound of knocking on the door instantly blew Mantingan's thought. He turned around before walking towards the door he locked.

But the Mantingan did not open the door immediately, but instead once again circulated the Science of Hearing Dew Drops to see the appearance of someone knocking on the door. After finding out, Mantingan then opened the door and pulled the man's hand into his room.

“Mantingan, what are you doing?!” The Northern River Angel grimaced in pain as the Mantingan pulled him too strong.

While the young man did not immediately answer but directly locked the door. Seeing the actions of the Mantingan, the look on the face of the Northern River Angel turned deathly pale.

“Mantingan, thou did not ..”

“Saudari, you came out with a look like this.” Mantingan said softly as his eyes looked at the Northern River Angel from top to bottom. “You still haven't changed clothes, Sister. This is not with our agreement.”

According to the agreement they had made earlier, the Northern River Angel had to change completely different clothes to the clothes he often wore before. In other words, Bidadari Sungai Utara had to change the style of dress.

If the Northern River Angel usually wore brightly colored clothes, then he had to turn it darker. The veil should be changed into a mask. Her hair should be pulled up. That's their deal.

However, the North River Angel did not change her dress style at all, not even changing her clothes since entering the inn.

The Angel of the North River understood the reason why Mantingan pulled his hand into the room, so he replied, “I have made sure that no one is watching me, Brother. I think it's safe enough for me to walk to your room without changing clothes at all.”

The mantle shook his head slowly, choosing to forget about it quickly. “What movement brought you here?”

The Northern River Angel looked doubtful, but Mantingan gave a look to reassure him. The girl took a deep breath before finally saying, “My supplies run out, Brother. I want to eat something delicious. Although I can eat energy in, but it tastes very unpleasant.”

“Then, what should I do for you, Sister?” The mantan smiled faintly, deliberately provoking the Northern River Angel to convey his wish more clearly.

The mantle shrugged his shoulders. “I only hesitate.”

The North River Angel was upset. “Buy food on the ground floor. You don't want me to go downstairs, do you?”

“Alright, I will. Why didn't you say it from the beginning?” Mantingan widened his smile before taking the coffers filled with money. “Stay here until I return, Sister.”

Mantingan opened the door, coinciding with the Northern River Angel mumbling behind him.

“You actually know, Mantingan. You obviously know it.”

***

MANTINGAN found a small shop on the ground floor of the inn. At first he thought this inn did not provide a store at all because there were many shops that stood outside the inn. But apparently, the assumption is wrong.

The shop is located in the corner of the hall. There are tables and benches there. But if you want to order food, you have to go to another room adjacent to the kitchen.

Mantingan hopes that in this small shop, he can get the latest news about the martial world. But apparently, that hope is too impossible to realize. However, the place is just a small shop and open in an inn, would be a very bad place to hold a secret negotiation.

Mantingan went to the reservation room and ordered a number of meals for the North River Angel as well as Cana and Kina. The waiter there said that the day was still too early, so the cuisine was not fully cooked and ready to be served, so Mantingan was asked to wait a while until the cuisine was ready to be served.

Instead, Mantingan was given a free cup of toast, which was eventually exchanged for a cup of tea because Mantingan refused it.

Mantingan came out of the booking room and walked towards the dining tables in the corner of the hall. There, he chose the most angular table so that he could monitor the situation without being the center of attention.

Then the inn can be said to be quite crowded. Some of the merchant-looking people entered and booked a room for a few days with his wife and mistress; some of the other inn guests actually went out carrying large and heavy bundles.

The port activities seen through the inn door can be said to be quite crowded. The sea of people passes non-stop. Bring their own affairs. The buffalo-pedati walked slowly closer to the pier. Abusive workers carry the burden of their master.

That's how everything seems crowded even though the day is still quite early.

But among the noise of civilization, Mantingan faintly heard a new whispering voice he could clearly hear after sharpening his hearing with the Science of Hearing Dew Drops.
