Chapter 933 -564 Preparations for the Gur Festival
The next morning, at the Golden Coconut Inn,
Lis walked down the stairs to the hall on the first floor.
At this moment, only one or two servants were cleaning the hall, while Old Milo sat behind the counter yawning, looking like he hadn’t woken up.
“Old Milo!”
Lis walked behind the bar, pulled a chair to sit down, and greeted the sleepy old man.
“Ha~ Lis.”
Old Milo yawned, wiped his face with a damp towel, and said to Lis:
“You’re up so early, would you like to have a special breakfast from our shop?”
“Sure, I’ll have one, and please prepare one to be sent to the room as well.”
Lis nodded and said, he had talked with Taya for a long time last night, and at this moment, Taya was still asleep.
However, due to being urgent about the City Lord Mansion, Lis only rested briefly, not intending to delay much time.
If it weren’t for his lingering thoughts about Taya yesterday, he would’ve stayed at the City Lord Mansion to study the Legendary Rank hidden array.
Its allure wasn’t ordinary to him.
Moreover, the City Lord Mansion should be the most peculiar place in the whole town.
Not only at night, Lis estimated that even during the day, the City Lord Mansion might not have anyone present.
The undead residents of the city seemed to be restricted and would not approach the City Lord Mansion, otherwise, the anomaly of the City Lord Mansion would not have gone unnoticed.
As for those outsiders like Lis, due to the expensive city entry tax, not many outsiders actually entered the town.
And most of them were merely replenishing supplies; nearly no one like Lis chose to enter the City Lord Mansion for exploration.
This might be the reason why this town’s anomaly has existed for so many years yet remained undiscovered.
Lis and Old Milo chatted casually about the Gur Festival celebration happening tomorrow in the town.
Old Milo, quite enthusiastically, introduced Lis to their Golden Coconut Inn’s stall location at the celebration, and what delicious food would be there.
At this moment, the inn’s servant also brought Lis’s breakfast.
Altogether two portions, one placed in front of Lis, and another in front of Old Milo.
It seems this inn owner was waiting here just to have breakfast!
Old Milo pointed at the breakfast in front of Lis, smiled, and said:
“Come, try it. It might not surpass what you had before, but it’s our specialty here.”
The Golden Coconut Inn’s breakfast looked good, several slices of white bread, some kind of roasted meat that couldn’t be identified, golden brown emanating an oily aroma, paired with jujube jam and a vegetable stew.
Lis, while eating breakfast, chatted with Old Milo:
“Old Milo, how long have you been running the store?”
“About thirty years, I think?”
Old Milo pondered and said.
“I heard Jue was raised by you, Old Milo, it must have been challenging.”
“Jue, sigh~”
Old Milo seemed to recall something, slightly shook his head, and sighed:
“That’s indeed a poor child, her parents aren’t around, so I adopted her and raised her.”
“But now, she’s quite a capable and excellent child, many guests have praised her to me.”
“Oh? Jue is so lovely, she must have someone she likes, right?”
Lis smiled, looking at Old Milo before him and asked.
“Could it be some frequent customer at the tavern?”
“Haha… Jue is so sensible, of course, someone likes her.”
Old Milo coughed several times as if he was choked by the vegetable soup, hurriedly supplemented.
Peculiar, what’s this reaction?
Lis noticed the unusual expression on Old Milo’s face, somewhat curious.
Did what I just say have something inappropriate?
Old Milo quickly drank some water and said to Lis:
“Didn’t expect Lord Lis to care so much about Jue?”
“My wife gets along well with Jue; they even shared some pastries yesterday.”
Lis explained.
“I see, that’s quite rare.”
Old Milo nodded slightly, then reflected with some emotion:
“Jue has always been very sensible, but just too sensible, so she’s been helping out at the shop without many friends.”
“That being said, if Jue has someone she likes, it must be that little boy, right?”
“That little boy?”
Lis feigned curiosity and asked.
“He’s the son of the adjacent grocery store owner, pretty much grew up together with Jue.”
“The relationship between these two kids is indeed good, if Jue were to entrust herself to this boy, I could be at ease.”
“But last year’s first half, he left Iheles with a passing merchant caravan, uncertain if he could ever return.”
Old Milo shook his head, seemingly skeptical that the boy could return to Iheles.
“Not even an Extraordinary Professional, yet daring to leave the town, truly reckless.”
“I see…”
Lis nodded, then asked:
“What’s his name? If I go to other places, I’ll keep an eye out for him.”
“That would be great, although we don’t know where this child is, this is our only hope.”
Old Milo sighed, then said:
“His full name is Kazeri Iheles, not tall, brown hair.”
“Alright, I’ll keep note.”
Lis’s eyes flickered with a glint; is it indeed this name?
“He also shares the name Iheles, is there perhaps a connection between this child and Lord City Master?”
“This…”
Old Milo suddenly froze, appearing as if he had never considered this question before.
