This hotel wasn't large, but it had everything. Aside from rooms for guests to rest in, the hotel also provided food on the lowest floor. It was cheap, and the service was excellent.
Thus, although its location wasn't ideal, when Li Yue and the others walked in, they saw that the first floor of the hotel was already filled with people. There weren't many seats left.
"Carmon, it's you. This time … is it the same old spot?"
After entering, they saw a square wooden counter. In front of the counter was a middle-aged man dressed like a boss. Seeing Carmon, he smiled and asked in a familiar manner.
"Boss Aya, why are you on duty today? Is there not enough people in the hotel? Haha! "Carmon laughed loudly.
The restaurant was already filled with people, and business was very good. Many waiters and waitresses were busily serving dishes and drinks as they came and went.
"Haha, what can I do? It's a small business. When I'm busy, I have to do it myself!"
"Why don't you hire a few more people? Why is it that the bigger the business, the stingier you get? " Carmon joked.
Because of this, the innkeeper laughed bitterly, shook his head, and didn't say anything else. After a pause, he said to Carmon, "Your place is quite remote, and there just happens to be no one here. I'll ask little Joel to arrange it for you!"
As he spoke, the innkeeper shouted into the kitchen, "Joel!"
…..
After dinner, the group went upstairs to their rooms.
The entire hotel was divided into five floors, each floor having dozens of rooms. Li Yue and the others were on the third floor, and their rooms were all connected.
The room wasn't large, and there was only one bed. Upon entering the room, one could see a neatly arranged bed in the center of the room. There were tables and chairs by the walls, as well as some small decorations. Simple, but exquisite.
Through the window, one could see that the streets of Fenlai City were still brightly lit. There seemed to be even more people coming and going, and the number of hawkers on the streets had increased as well.
Quite a few young men and women were in groups of three or five, strolling and chatting in the night market. The atmosphere wasn't any less lively than it was during the day. In fact, it was even more lively than it was during the day.
"Compared to Wushan township, where everyone goes to sleep after dark, this place really is much more bustling!"
But in Li Yue's eyes, it was just that. After all, no matter how bustling it was, how could it compare to the modern metropolises and the various cities of the universe?
"Dong dong dong!"
Suddenly, a series of knocks came from the room.
"Who?"
"It's us, Li!"
"Uncle Carmon? Come in! "Li Yue said. He could vaguely guess the purpose of Uncle Carmon's visit this time.
Soon, Carmon and the others walked in. Not only Carmon, but the guards Lyle and Daemon also walked in.
After Li Yue greeted them one by one, they all sat down.
"Li, you'll be going to the warrior academy tomorrow morning, right? Are you nervous? "
Carmon smiled.
"I'm not nervous!" Li Yue shook his head. "But I'm not only going to the Warrior Academy, I'm also going to the Magic Academy to test my magical aptitude. After all, since I'm already here, I might as well take the test. Who knows …"
"Magic test?" Carmon and the others were stunned for a moment, then nodded their heads, "That's right, that's right, since we're here, we naturally have to take the test. Your warrior aptitude is so amazing, maybe your magic aptitude will be the same as well. If you can become a mage, then that would be even better!"
In the Yulan continent, compared to warriors, mages were incomparably rare and highly respected.
Warriors only needed to train hard, and if they persevered, sooner or later they would have some accomplishments. But mages were different. Without magical aptitude, it was impossible to succeed. Out of ten thousand people, there might not even be one person with exceptional magical aptitude. Thus, mages were rare, incomparably rare.
Even in Fenlai City, which was filled with talented people, mages were like giant pandas.
In addition, mages' magic was extremely powerful. In battle, a powerful mage could wipe out an entire army with a single spell, but warriors could only charge in one by one. It was easy to imagine who would win and who would win.
"Only after reaching the Saint-level can a warrior be on equal footing with a mage. Otherwise, at the same level, a mage's status far exceeds that of a warrior of the same level. In fact, a warrior of the same level can only be a mage's bodyguard!"
Thus, in the eyes of Carmon and the others, if Li Yue could become a mage, that would undoubtedly be an exciting piece of news. If word got out, they would feel proud.
"Li, we've come to disturb you for two reasons. On one hand, we want to thank you for your bravery during the day and for saving us. On the other hand, didn't we raid that group of people during the day? Those spoils of war haven't been distributed yet. You don't have time tomorrow, and we have to go back to Wushan township. Thus, we'll distribute the spoils of war tonight! "
As he spoke, Carmon pulled out a heavy bag from his clothes and handed it over.
"These are the gold coins we looted during the day. Of course, there are other things as well, such as weapons. But they haven't been sold yet, so …"
Li Yue accepted the bag and opened it. What entered his eyes was a pile of shiny gold coins. Weighing them in his hands, he estimated that there were at least a hundred gold coins in this bag. It could be said that this was a huge sum of money.
"Uncle Carmon, this should be all the money those bandits had on them. If you give it all to me, what will you do?" As he spoke, Li Yue prepared to shove the bag of money back.
This was the spoils of war that the five of them had looted. How could they let him keep it all to himself? Although he lacked money, he wouldn't do something like this.
"No, no, no. Just keep this money. If it weren't for you, we would probably be dead by now. So this bit of money is nothing! Also, it's not like we didn't get anything. Don't we still have those weapons and battle-qi manuals? "
"If you feel bad about it, then those weapons can belong to us. We can sell them for quite a bit of money. Plus, you lack money in Fenlai City. This is what you deserve!"
As he spoke, Carmon forcefully shoved the bag of money back into Li Yue's hands.
"Right, there's also the [River Wind Secret Manual]!" As he spoke, Carmon pulled out a neatly folded sheet of paper. This was the secret manual that they had previously copied down. The contents of this sheepskin scroll took up several pages.
"Here!"
Carmon laughed, then shoved the battle-qi manual into Li Yue's hands. "I've already discussed it with Ryle and the others. This battle-qi manual isn't of much use to us, and we don't dare to train in it ourselves. But you don't!"
"Although we can't train in it, we can memorize it. In a few years, when things settle down, we can leave it to our descendants. But right now, it is very important to you!"
"Alright!" Li Yue nodded. He didn't refuse, and he wouldn't refuse.
This was what he deserved, and Uncle Carmon had already said that although they wouldn't train in it, they had already recorded the contents of the manual for future generations.
"Work hard, Li. It wasn't easy for a genius to appear in our Wushan township. I hope you can go far!"
"It's getting late. Train hard. Only then will you be able to go all out tomorrow!"
As he spoke, Carmon patted Li Yue on the shoulder, and then nodded to Ryle and the others, leading them out of the room.
After a long time, Li Yue finally said in a low voice, "Thank you, Uncle Carmon!"
"Don't worry. As long as I'm here, I'll protect you from the Carlo clan!"
Naturally, he could see through everything. He could tell what Uncle Carmon and the others were thinking. They just wanted to invest in Li Yue because of his one point potential.
But Li Yue didn't resist this kind of investment. It was human nature. If it were him, he would do the same.
The night slowly deepened, and the candlelight in the room flickered. Li Yue still hadn't gone to sleep. He was leaning against the window, earnestly reading the battle-qi manual in his hands. He stayed like this until dawn.
