Chapter 520 Volu 8 Prologue The Roaming Inn
THE ROAMING INN, IMMORIAL CONTINENT, TRAVELER’S WORLD.
The Roaming Inn is one of the most prestigious business establishnts here in the Immorial Continent. After all, it is the only Inn in this continent that can accept the residence of Travelers.
Such kind of establishnt made the Roaming Inn a place like no other, with many yearning to be accepted here.
Of course, this fa turned the fees here in the Roaming Inn to be extrely high, to the point that only those at the upper bounds of the society can afford them.
To those unable to pay these fees, they will scoff and say that staying in the Roaming Inn was just a waste of ti. But for those who were lucky to get in, they will say that every penny spent here was worth it.
After all, those who get to enter the Roaming Inn will have the chance to et the legendary Travelers, the chosen people of the Endless Monarch himself!
And to make matters even better, other great things might happen to those who et these Travelers.
Sotis, these Travelers will have the mood to give out precious treasures whenever they like it, while others will have the urge to take disciples from this world.
So even take the people here as their Companions, which is the best thing that could ever happen upon eting a Traveler!
These benefits make the Roaming Inn’s value to everyone higher, to the point that so were even worshipping its existence.
The rules of the Traveler World of course makes it impossible for a worship to happen, but still, a certain sense of awe could be felt around the Roaming Inn.
And this awe always increases every ti a new Traveler arrives....
***************
Inside the Roaming inn, which held thousands and thousands of gold-lidden rooms, a certain duo could be seen walking and talking loudly on its hallway.
With their loud voices and soundy movents, these duo’s actions should have earned the ire of those who resided in the rooms.
But instead of having people pop out to scold the two, nobody even appeared to scold them. Instead, the loud duo was allowed to talk as they continued to make noise.
Such kind of scenario was unimaginable here in the Roaming Inn, as the Travelers living in it are the type of people who are easily offended by those who disturb their peaceful rest.
With these two loud people disturbing everyone, shouldn’t the Travelers present begin attacking them?
But even when one of the duo began stomping the ground like a manic, nobody still stood up to them.
Why were they treated like this?
Well, it is because these two loudmouths were so of the people that even the Travelers would not dare to offend....
"Kibou, how many tis did I tell you that you are not allowed to et up with Asteria? Even if she is nearing this world, you are not allowed to look for her!" A black fairy, with her wings stained with the color of ebony, shouted exasperatedly as she crossed her arms.
This fairy looked to be extrely unhappy as she stared at her conversation partner, who was a 10-foot robot-like being.
"Kibou, if you dare complain about Asteria once more, I will be really making you regret it!"
"Ki! Ki ki!" The robot, who was called as Kibou, replied hastily with its chanical eyes glowing with anxiety. It seed to be unwilling to accept the black fairy’s command, which it made obvious with its actions.
"Ki ki ki!" Kibou stomped its foot down three more tis in front of the black fairy, which showed its agitation and unwillingness to follow the fairy’s words.
If it were others who saw what the robot did, they will surely freeze in fear. After all, the way that Kibou appeared now was enough to make him look like he’s about to kill soone! Such kind of imagery was not sothing that anybody can just resist...
But even with these actions by Kibou, the black fairy did not look like she was affected at all.
"Kibou, when I said no, I an it. Or do you want to punish you?" The black fairy replied fearlessly in face of Kibou’s massive fra. "You know that I, Kuro, is not soone who lets anyone off, especially my forr students! So what if you are Asteria’s lackey? Now that you are working for , you should follow ! Do you understand that?"
"..."
"Do you understand? Say sothing, or I will make you do pushups!" The black friry, who was actually Kuro, continued to say as she brandished her tiny arms. "Talk now, or I will change the push-ups into flying push-ups!"
"Ki!!!!"
"Hehehe, good, good, good. That’s how you should be acting Kibou." Kuro purred as she let out a satisfied hum. "You’re not a child anymore, so man the f**k up!"
In face of Kuro’s stern and supportive gaze, the massive Kibou seed to deflate. Its frighteningly large body also began bending down submissively towards Kuro, a gesture which made Kuro nod her head in satisfaction.
"Hmph, if you really want to et Asteria, then just wait for her to look for you. With your work here, you are not allowed to look for her. But if it was Asteria who finds you, then you will be free to talk to her." As if she beca guilty from making Kibou sad, the stern Kuro suddenly added these statents, which appeared to be placating the robot. "But please Kibou, don’t make yourself too obvious for Asteria. Doing that will piss off..."
"KI? Ki ki! KIKikikki! Kiki! Ki...." With Kuro’s reassurance, the lethargic Kibou was able to co back to its lively state again.
Its dying engines sparked up once more, while its dull eyes began to glow like the bright beacon that they were supposed to be.
Such change was sothing that Kuro was already used to, as she had already seen this happen several tis this day.
"Hmph, do you think that Asteria will find you quickly? Heh, let’s see if that will really happen...." Kuro said as she tried to ignore Kibou’s smiling tallic face. "With the Traveler that she had with her, I think that it will be difficult for her to even survive..."
"Ki? Ki ki ki ki? Ki?"
"No, Asteria’s Traveler is not a bust. In fact, her Traveler is so talented, that upon arrival, that Traveler will be given a Noble Treatnt here." Kuro said as she bopped Kibou’s tallic head. "In fact, that Traveler can even beco a Duke or Minister here..."
"Ki? KI ki? Ki!!!!"
"Hmph, why are you that shocked, Kibou? It’s only a matter of ti until a Traveler like Asteria’s Traveler appears." Kuro said with a snicker upon seeing Kibou’s shocked face. "So don’t act like you have seen the end of the world already."
"Ki..."
"And with that fact, do you now understand why it will be hard for Asteria to co here? Kibou, with the amount of talent that Asteria’s Traveler has, I am sure that many will try to kill them before they can even co to this inn..." Kuro suddenly said, with her voice filled with a dark undertone. "Heh, they might not even have the ti to enjoy the sceneries in this world. Sigh, now that makes pity them..."
"Ki? Ki.... Ki...."
"Yes, Kibou. It’s really a sad fate for them. But with their abilities, I think that Asteria and her Traveler has a chance to survive. Of course that chance will be low." Kuro said in a low voice. "But as long as there is a chance, everything can still happen."
"Ki..."
"So just like what I sad earlier, you not allowed to look for Asteria! Kibou, I will know it when you try to sneak away, so stop thinking about using your warping cloak. This is my last warning to you, so I hope you will listen to it!"
"Ki! Ki ki ki ki...."
"Yeah, you can complain all you want Kibou, but my decision is already final. Don’t search for her, and I will not punish you. If you do, then prepare to have your shoulders in pain tomorrow..."
"Ki..."
After Kibou made this one last despairing sound, the duo left the Roaming Inn, leaving its residents and staff heaving sighs of relief.
Whether Kuro or Kibou noticed these actions was unknown, as their bodies disappeared after going through the door, making their departure a silent one.
Where they will go from this, nobody had any idea. But one thing was for sure.
These two, who were part of the Endless Monarch’s Mandated Guards, will surely be embroiled in an important mission!
