Gregg's Tavern
Aetius is now standing in front of the oldest tavern of this city.
This is a very famous gathering place for many types of people. It is said that they have special wine made by the dwarves of the north of Illyriya subcontinent !
Rich,noble,merchants, travelers,mercenaries,peasant all kind of people come here to drink and chat.
This kind of palaces are the perfect point to know some information and news.
People are constantly going in and out. I also entered there and looked inside.
The taverns looks way lot bigger than it should be. So it is without a doubt that space type magic props are used in this massive room.
Some people are laughing and celebrating something, some are drinking silently, some are so drunk that they are shouting whatever they have in their mind. some people are discussing as silently as they can in two's or more,some are looking for someone, even some people also fighting with each other in there!
So many stories, so many emotions, so many fights, this is a tavern!
I didn't sleep,not even a little last night. After eating the magic beasts meat, i am now full and feeling a lot of sleep. But before coming here, i had to change to a mysterious robe to hide my teen face lest avoid unwanted bullies and certain bad situations.
This place is perfect for me.If i can stay here, I can make plans for my future development directions. If i am lucky to secure a room that is.
This taverns has 7 floors in it. First floor is for ordinary customers.
Second floor is for VIP customers.
And third to seventh floors are used as hotels.
This kind of old taverns are visited by numerous peoples everyday from many different places.So they will rent rooms when they come. It requires luck to have a empty room in this kind of famous taverns hotels.
I asked a waiter to where to book a room. He said to me to go to the third floor. There i will find a receptionist who is responsible for room booking.
I gone straight to the third floor and found the receptionist who is a old man in his 70s or more sited in a floating magic chair. He is wearing a big round glasses and writing in a dairy.
Without stopping his writing nor looking at me, he said to me,
"All rooms are booked, please come later."
Well i did expected this kind of situation. This kind of renowned old gathering places are known to a lot of travellers. This is also a secure place which gives people a lot assurance. After traveling for a long time, if they don't have money issue, they will choose this kind of prominent hotels with their eyes closed.
I wanted to live here to be close to the as many people as i can. It is very convenient for me to go to the first floor for meals and also hear some news of inside and outside of this kingdom from time to time.
I suddenly remembered some room booking experience in famous hotels from my past life and applied.
I opened my spatial clothes bag and fetched out 500 gold coins and put them in the desk.
Finally, the old men looked at me. He took all the gold coins in his pocket and said to me with a smile,
"there's a room in the third floor available. 10 gold coins per day and 2 meals .No such service as night or day stay only. 10% discount if stay for 1 week. If you stay for a month 20% discount. If you stay for 1 year we will give 30% discount. "
Like my past world, hotels will always keep few rooms empty. They do so because of convenience. If a famous or important old guests come and didn't find a room to live, it will cause them to lose am important customer.Another reason is that the receptionists wants to earn some extra income.
It will cost me 60 gold (including discount) if i stay for a week. For 1 month it will be 240 gold coins (including discount). Because of 30 percent discount, it will cost me 2,555 gold coins.
I booked for 1 year after spending 2550 gold coins. I am lucky that the receptionist took the bribe and give me a room. Okay from now on, i have solved my food and housing issue for a year.
The receptionist give me a alchemy inscribed ring to open my room. The moment i touch the ring to the door, it will open automatically. I wore the ring in one of my finger.
Then he give me some documents to sign.I glossed over them and didn't read much. But all seem to be okay. I give my signature.
After that a attendant bring me to my room. Room number 321. I touched the inscribed ring to the door. It instantly opened without a sound.
1 bedroom, 1 drawing room, 1 kitchen, 1 bathroom, 1 study room, 1 toilet and a iron cadged balcony. From there you can see busy road down. All the rooms are spacious and clean.
'It is a bit big' Aetius thought.
Aetius was very sleepy now. So he quickly take a shower and quickly jumped to the clean white bed completely naked.
"Those 2 monster women's were really rich! "
Thinking this he quickly fall in a deep sleep.
...
dip dip dip...
In a dark underground cave.
A gigantic 666 different monster head statue is constantly leaking blood from all It's canines.
Infront of this enermous statue a lot of figures are on their knees and chanting some mysterious words.
"God wants more sacrifices.... quickly bring those captured children's. We must satisfy the 666 heads ultimate god !"
4 dark robe figures quickly dragged a children to a bloody alter. The alter is now emitting a blood red aura around it.
