Chapter 361: News From The Inn

Xiao Lin was actually a bit sad. Even though he did not forget to retrieve his gold before running, he felt like he had done a lot for no reason. He should have just barged in at the start.

Even though the Normans were just as greedy as anyone else, there were so many other ways to solve problems on this planet. Xiao Lin was deep in thought.

Gold City might not have had any defenses, but they still had their own ways of defending themselves. The body in charge of the city was the Public Security Alliance that the man talked about earlier which was supported by a lot of academies. With the magical scrolls outside the city being activated, there were naturally a lot of people shocked into action.

The quietness of the night was broken as people started to make noise on the streets. There were quite a few squads of people gathering toward the outside of the city, but Xiao Lin could not make out their identities thanks to the night. Xiao Lin’s group had managed to avoid their sight thanks to breaking in so quickly.

Xiao Lin and Lilith were actually not sure if those guards were still alive, but they did not attack with the intent to kill, since they bore no deep grudges against the guards. Xiao Lin looked quite worried, but it was Ibeiya who felt like their reactions were strange, not feeling like anything big happened.

“We don’t really need to hide like this, your statuses are as kings here. Hey, don’t you know who you guys are here? You’re nobles! To be honest, even if you killed those natives, no one would dare investigate you.”

Ibeiya voiced her unhappiness at having to hide in the darkness, but after that, she blinked her eyes, using a look of admiration that all men would enjoy as she said to Xiao Lin, “You really are a good person, Uncle.”

Lilith fixed a judgmental gaze on Xiao Lin, not saying a word.

XIao Lin’s head felt somewhat larger after being called a good person. He suddenly understood what Ibeiya meant. As a student of Dawn Academy, he did enjoy various privileges here. However, he still did not have the mental preparation, nor was he used to any special treatment.

It was especially so after Ibeiya said he would not be investigated for killing someone. Xiao Lin could not help but feel strange about it. He opened his mouth, but finally settled for a bitter smile. It was not the time to discuss such things.

Once the Public Security Alliance started to move further away, their group finally came out of hiding. Gold City was very quiet at night, which fit perfectly with how Planet Norma worked. They naturally were not in the mood to go sightseeing, so they just found an inn to stay in. Ibeiya seemed very familiar with the place, managing to maneuver around and find them a decent-looking inn.

“This inn was invested in and built by your people and is operated by the natives. I think it’ll fit your requirements quite well.” Ibeiya giggled.

“I think you’re the one who wants to stay here!” Xiao Lin said, exasperated. However, he did not object. They spent so much time travelling outside lately; he did want a nice and comfortable bed to rest in.

After spending all this time in the New World, Xiao Lin started to develop an understanding of the life of colonists on Planet Norma. Things such as investing in a business and leaving it to be operated by the natives was quite common. Their special privileges were mostly superficial. Internally, there were actually quite a few colonists who were not very well off, only being at the level of a common citizen. There would always be people looking out for ways to make money.

That particular inn was invested in by the Royal British Academy. The outer or inner decorations both had a majestic look to them. The Normese and Earth standards of beauty were quite similar, but the natives were still lacking in terms of luxurious appearances.

The inn was built based on five-star specifications on Earth, but the boss and all the staff were natives. Most of the people who stayed there were natives who wanted to experience life on Earth.

“There are quite a few rich natives. Starmetal had always been a rare metal, but after finding that starmetal was needed to build resurrection towers, the price skyrocketed. There are many natives who got rich from starmetal.”

“No wonder.” This place was not really a colonist territory, but the influence of the various academies was strong. Skill was one thing, but more importantly, the colonists represented a chance for the natives to get rich, which would naturally generate quite a few followers.

The inn’s price was not cheap, costing 500 New Dollars a room per night. Xiao Lin volunteered to cover all of their expenses, but when he prepared to pay for three rooms, Ibeiya considerately said that they did not need to waste the money; only two rooms was enough.

“That’s fine.” Xiao Lin did not lack money, but he had limited funds on hand. He also did not want anyone to feel like he was a rich foreigner, since that could cause unnecessary problems.

Xiao Lin paused for thought after paying, explaining to Lilith, “You’ll room with Ibeiya. I’ll stay alone.”

Lilith raised her eyebrow, “Of course. Were you thinking about something else? You really are a stinking pervert!”

Xiao Lin looked at Lilith in exasperation while Ibeiya swaggered off with a smile on her face. He shook his head, grabbing his key before a young, beautiful and sexily-dressed lady brought him to his room. After looking up, Xiao lin took off his clothes and took a bath. The travels had left his body filthy and fatigued.

The bathrooms here were even better than the ones at New Washington. They used some magical incantations to control the heat of the water, which meant the baths did not need hot water to be manually added, even if some people would have preferred those beautiful women on staff to come in.

After his bath, Xiao Lin yawned and he prepared to sleep before he suddenly noticed a woman in a white dress sitting next to his bed, staring at him unblinkingly.

“Ah, Silverlight? Silverlight!”

Xiao Lin slapped his forehead, an annoyed look appearing on his face. He had only been thinking about Lilith and Ibeiya when he booked the rooms, but he had forgotten about the spirit that was temporarily staying in his Holy Soul Sword. Even though she was a spirit who had been dead for who knows how many millennia, she was still a person, and a woman at that.

Xiao Lin then noticed Silverlight’s gaze seemed to be looking at his body curiously. Thankfully, he had his underwear on, but he still had nothing on the upper half of his body.

Xiao Lin’s face reddened at being stared at before he rushed back to the bathroom, hastily putting on a shirt before coming out. Even though he had to admit that Silverlight was a woman who did not lack in looks or demeanor, the moment he thought about Silverlight’s age, looked at her third eye and thought about the fact that she was a ghost, Xiao Lin lost absolutely all interest.
