Chapter 385 Katie's Friend
"Captain Atu, I'm really exhausted. Next time, don't accept this kind of long-distance escort mission!"
At the gate of the city, a fiery female rabbitman wearing leather armor and carrying a machete complained to a strong middle-aged human next to her.
"Mia, we are only an E-level adventure group. Only this kind of long-distance escort mission will be paid more. Captain Atu also accepted it for the sake of the entire team!"
On the other side, the male eagle man with wings and a longbow on his back explained helplessly.
"Well, I know, it's just a few complaints, after all, we've been running for half a year this trip!"
The bunny girl shrugged.
"How about this, the reward for this mission is not bad, I will treat you to the city for lunch, you can eat freely!"
The robust middle-aged human said with a smile.
Hearing the group leader's treat, the female rabbit man and the male eagle man, as well as another male leopard man and female young human, all cheered.
"But it's okay, you can only go to the hotel in the slum area!"
Seeing this, the robust middle-aged human hurriedly added another sentence.
He can still afford a hotel meal in a poor area, but if he treats guests like this in other places, he will go bankrupt.
"We know, let's go to Katie's cat hotel!"
Obviously, this is a very ordinary low-level adventure group composed of humans and half-orcs in the royal city.
The regiment leader is a junior swordsman with fighting spirit. Among the four regiment members, the female rabbit-man with a machete is a warrior, and the male eagle-man with wings is a long-range shooter.
The other man and woman are leopard-man thieves who are proficient in lockpicking, traps and extremely fast speed, and human pharmacists who are good at using various herbs for treatment.
An adventure team like this is the lowest-level configuration under reasonable circumstances, but it can be regarded as a good one among low-level adventure groups.
After all, many low-level adventure groups don't have any suitable configuration at all. It is also common for five or six warriors without fighting spirit to form an adventure group.
"Why hasn't anyone come yet!"
Katie Cui lay down on the counter dejectedly, staring at the door.
It's been half a day since the "Closed Business" sign at the door was removed, but not a single customer showed up.
"As a boss, I'm not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry, come on, help me see how to pronounce this word?"
Charlie, who was sitting on the side, looked at the basic literacy textbook for children bought from an outside bookstore a few days ago, and then pointed to a word that he didn't understand, and asked Katie for advice.
"The word 'kuva' means 'love'. Boss, you don't even know the common language of human countries!"
Katie showed a surprised look.
Charlie continued to read the book without looking up, trying to memorize the words in this world.
"Because this kind of writing is not used in my hometown!"
"Oh, by the way, boss, I've always had a question, I wonder if I can ask you?"
Katie looked curious.
Charlie paused his reading and looked up at Katie:
"You can ask, but I may not necessarily answer!"
"That's why, boss, every time you speak, I can't see your mouth moving?"
After living with Charlie for ten days, she didn't notice it at first, but later she noticed that every time Charlie talked to her, his mouth was closed, which made her feel very strange.
It was the first time she had seen a person able to speak without opening his mouth.
Charlie laughed immediately when he heard the words, and then explained:
"I didn't actually speak, so of course my mouth didn't move!"
"I didn't speak, then I heard"
Before Katie could finish, Charlie interrupted her:
"The voice you heard was not spoken by me, but I used magic to directly convey the meaning to your mind. In fact, I am not very proficient in your language here, and I am still learning!"
"So that's how it is, Boss, your magic is really powerful!"
When Katie heard that it was magic, she immediately understood.
She had already seen Charlie's magical magic in the morning. Just waving his hand, the whole hotel changed its appearance. It seemed that it was nothing if he could communicate with magic.
In fact, as a human being, it is very doubtful that he knows neither the common script nor the common language of the mainland.
However, Katie had lived in a slum since she was a child, and she hadn't even been out of this city much. In fact, she didn't know much about the outside world except what she learned from those low-level adventurers.
Secondly, Charlie is now her boss and a powerful magician, so what Charlie said is naturally very convincing and cannot make her doubt it.
"jingle!"
At this moment, the doorbell rang suddenly, and a guest came in.
Katie got up immediately, but when she saw the person coming, she suddenly let out a cry of surprise:
"Miss Mia!"
"Little Katie, I haven't seen you in half a year, do you miss my sister?"
As soon as the female rabbit man came in and saw Katie, she immediately kicked her legs, jumped in front of Katie, and stuffed Katie's small head into her stalwart chest.
"Really, so cruel!"
Charlie glanced up and sighed secretly.
"Sister Mia, let me go, you are covered in sweat!"
Katie struggled to push Mia away, feeling like she was almost suffocated just now.
"Just kidding, by the way, quickly serve more rye wine and barbecue, my sister is starving to death!"
Mia rubbed Katie's head, then laughed loudly.
"Mia, look at this hotel, okay. Something seems wrong!"
At this moment, the stammering voice of the eagle man with wings came over.
"What's wrong?"
Mia turned to look at her teammates, and found that everyone, including the team leader, was stunned and unbelievable.
And Mia followed the eyes of his teammates and turned his gaze to the interior of the hotel.
For a moment, Mia felt that she must be dazzled, then rubbed her eyes and looked again:
"I said Katie, what happened to your hotel in the past six months, how did it become so... so luxurious!"
After confirming again and again, it wasn't something wrong with her eyes, so Mia stammered and asked Katie the question in her heart.
However, another doubt appeared in her mind immediately.
That is, when they only looked at the hotel from the outside, it seemed that there was no change from half a year ago, and it only looked like a two-story building.
Why, the area inside is so large?
Such a large space is almost the same as those large hotels on the busiest streets of Wangcheng!
"Sister Mia, this is a long story, please sit down first, and I will talk to you slowly!"
Katie's face darkened, and then she spoke slowly.
Mia could hear the sadness in Katie's words, and didn't say much, but pulled Katie, greeted her teammates, and chose a seat to sit down.
