Chapter 19: Planning for the Long Term
Rove wanted to command the undead Tharros and throw the slave trader Corven Wyl from the second floor of the inn.
Under the instigation of slave trader Colenwil, Cynthia in black hood thoroughly put away her "Book of Gradual Death", without giving Rowan even a chance to "take a look".
It's just that Rovin is acting strangely again, and if he continues to insist on seeing it, then Cynthia and the slave trader Colenwill will likely suspect his intentions, making it even more impossible for him to see Cynthia's "Book of Gradual Death" even with a single glance.
Damn it, I can only think about it from a long-term perspective...
With such a melancholy mood, Luo Wei brought the old half-day who only listened and didn't speak, Felicia, as well as the two corpses who couldn't say anything, into his own designated guest room.
Habitual thinking has once again gotten Luo Wei into trouble. It wasn't until after he entered the guest room that he discovered there was only one bed inside, unlike the standard double-bed rooms on Earth.
"Felicia, go to bed tonight."
Luo Wei pointed at the bed which looked relatively clean and soft, saying in a natural tone.
As a former forensic doctor with a relatively upright three views, Luo Wei had no intention of sharing the same bed with **girl. Of course, this wasn't because he had high moral integrity, but rather because Luo Wei thought that if they squeezed onto the same bed to sleep, he would likely choose to be a beast among beasts and not less than beasts.
"Absolutely not, Mr. Rovin! I'm your maid now, where's the logic in a maid sleeping in bed while her master has nowhere to sleep?"
Because she didn't know the truth, Felicia was shocked at that time, and she shook her hands repeatedly to refuse.
"Who says there's no place to sleep? I can just set up a bed on the floor." Rovei replied nonchalantly, but seeing that Felicia seemed to want to continue making excuses, Rovei directly threatened: "Felicia, if you don't listen, then I'll have to send you to your aunt's house."
As soon as this was said, Felicia immediately fell silent and had no choice but to accept Rovi's proposal, which made her very uneasy.
This made Felicia feel more and more grateful to Rove, who took care of her more than her own family, and she was completely determined to follow Rove wherever he went.
Finally, seeing Felicia was no longer being coy, Luo Wei sent the hotel service staff to get some food and then pulled over a wooden stool to sit down and rest with his eyes closed.
After entering Asura for so long, Luo Wei still hadn't rested yet. He had already felt a bit of waist soreness and leg cramps for some time now.
The dying body is indeed a dying body, Luo Wei can clearly feel the vitality in his body, every minute and every second is decaying and losing, the body's ease of fatigue is the most superficial manifestation of the body's gradual death.
Rov can sit down and rest, but because Rov is in the Holdin family's words, she has positioned herself as a maid, or to say that only by showing at least the role of a maid can she prove her worth, Felicia, who thinks she must show value to stay, busied herself.
Suppressing the fear in her heart, Felicia took down the backpack from the back of the corpse of Talrand and then laboriously dragged the bulky backpack to an unobtrusive corner.
Next, Felicia took out two pairs of wooden slippers for guests from under the bed in the guest room.
She sniffed the faint musty smell emitted by the wooden clogs, stood up and rummaged through her large backpack to find a piece of edge cloth. Then, Felicia took the wooden clogs and a wooden basin out of the room - when looking down from the second floor of the inn, Felicia noticed that there was a fountain made of piled-up giant stones in the courtyard of the inn, which she knew was a public water source for guests to wash their faces and give water to livestock.
When Felicia returned to the room with a basin of clear water and a pair of clean wooden clogs, the hotel servant had already brought in a large plate of seven-tenths cooked meat of unknown animal, two golden-brown long strips of bread, and a small pot of thick stew made with fatty meat and vegetables.
When Felicia returned, Rovin invited her to eat something, but Felicia continued to faithfully fulfill her duties as a maid. She asked Rovin to soak his feet first and then put on wooden clogs so that his feet could feel comfortable.
It wasn't until he was led by the foot that Rovi remembered that although he had ordered clothes, he had forgotten to order shoes that fit him and Felicia.
The shoes Luo Wei is wearing now were also taken from a certain household in Naihe Village, and the shoes are barely wearable, far from meeting the requirements of fitting and comfort.
"Who's that... Ah, Bentona, right? In your town, is there a shoe store that can make new shoes in one day with decent craftsmanship and style?"
He hadn't intended to cheat himself, so he asked and finally found out from the hotel service staff.
According to Roviel's observation, it is unlikely that you can buy ready-made shoes of the same size as on Earth at any time in this still backward fantasy world.
"The only one in town who can barely meet your requirements, esteemed wizard sir, is Old Mountain Traul."
Because just now when delivering food, unexpectedly received a small tip of half a coin from Rovi, the hotel service staff Bentona hurriedly replied at the first time.
"Would you mind going to get Old Mountain Trail for me at the inn? I need him to make a few pairs of shoes that fit."
As he spoke, Luo Wei glanced at Felicia and noticed that the shoes on her feet were also no longer new.
"Don't worry, esteemed wizard sir, I'll take care of this matter immediately!"
The hotel waitress lifted her skirt and turned around, intending to leave, but was stopped by Luo Wei as soon as she twisted her body.
"Don't hurry, if it's on your way, I also need you to go to Old Sokote's clothing store and tell Old Sokote that after making the clothes well, send them directly to the hotel."
Luo Wei stopped a female hotel staff and added another errand request.
"Smooth sailing all the way!"
In the repetitive sound of the wheels, hotel waitress Bentona disappeared from Rovi's line of sight at the fastest speed. Although she did this not because she really wanted to serve Rovi with passion, but only because she was afraid that Rovi would regret and want to return the half silver Gaton he gave her.
"Mr. Rovi, you, you go wash your feet and put on the wooden clogs, I've thoroughly washed them and they absolutely don't have any strange smell!"
A basin of still somewhat cool water for washing feet, as well as a pair of clean wooden clogs, were placed before Lovi's feet by Felicia, who said in a hopeful tone.
Looking at the rolled-up sleeves revealing her white and tender arms, with water droplets on her delicate face that had lost its innocence, only filled with expectation was Felicia. Rovin fell silent for a moment before bending down to roll up his own pant legs.
Poor little girl, you're now extremely lacking a sense of security, afraid that I'll abandon you... right?
