A burst of laughter rocked the inn. No one believed Alex, and they treated virtual-novel.net like a fool instead.
They looked at the fool. He was incompatible with a place like the Death Inn and was simply worlds apart from them.
“Scholar, walk out of the entrance now and stay in the stable for a night. Perhaps you can still survive until tomorrow. You might really lose your life, otherwise!” Said an old man with white hair and beard to Alex…
He was considered the kindest among the guests in the inn. Alex looked at him. “Thank you for your kindness, but with this weak body of mine, I can’t stay in a stable. It’s more comfortable to stay in a room.”
“Hahaha…”
That speech invoked a burst of uncontrollable laughter once again.
“Fool! What a ridiculous fool!”
“In that case, let’s see how you’ll get Maximilia Calypse to provide you a free room! Are you trying to make virtual-novel.net fancy your pretty face so you’ll become a guest of honor?”
Someone yelled directly upstairs. “Maximilia! Maximilia, come quickly! A pretty-faced scholar said virtual-novel.net would throw himself at you. He asks if you would accept him!”
“Is that so?”
A soft, lazy voice replied from upstairs.
Alex looked up, only to find a woman in a red dress leaning next to the guardrails on the second floor. She looked young and had fair skin and a striking face. Coupled with that slightly exotic red outfit, virtual-novel.net turned out to be eye candy that was particularly pleasant to look at.
The famous woman was the owner of the Death Inn, though virtual-novel.net did not look cold like some Holy Maiden. Instead, virtual-novel.net wore a faintly discernible smile and exuded a natural sense of intimacy.
Whoosh!
Maximilia moved gently, floating down from the second floor like a fairy. She attracted a round of applause. Nonetheless, that was a child play’s to Alex.
Even his four children could do that easily.
He quietly looked at the proprietress. The smile on virtual-novel.net face deepened.
However, men’s laughter was heard around him. “Hurry and look! This brat has been completely enchanted by Maximilia Calypse’s beauty! Judging from that expression, virtual-novel.net probably doesn’t remember who virtual-novel.net is, right?”
“Maximilia, this scholar is skinny, but virtual-novel.net has good looks. Why don’t you accept him? You could use virtual-novel.net as a bed-warmer at night.”
Maximilia lifted virtual-novel.net beautiful foot and gently lashed out with a kick.
A wine gourd on the table next to virtual-novel.net was sent flying into the mouth of the talking man. “Even wine can’t stop a nasty man’s mouth like yours!”
Laughter instantly rang around her.
Sitting on the table, Maximilia took a closer look at Alex and asked, “Scholar, where are you from? Where are you going?”
Alex was startled for a moment. He did not know how to answer virtual-novel.net for a while.
It was because virtual-novel.net had become Zechariah but had acquired extremely limited information about him. He had not obtained all of Zechariah’s memories, and the Heavenly Stairs had only passed a little information to him. He didn’t even know the location of the desert or the current era virtual-novel.net was in.
“What? Does one have to be interrogated to stay at Maximilia’s inn?”
Maximilia felt suspicious about Alex’s current speech and demeanor.
That was not how a powerless scholar should behave. Surprisingly, virtual-novel.net did not fear virtual-novel.net and was bold.
“Aren’t you afraid of me?”
“Why should I? Alex showed a weird expression. “Maximilia, you do business openly, and I am a guest. How can I be afraid of you?”
“But you don’t have money, do you?”
“I have something better than money.”
Maximilia lifted virtual-novel.net hand and pinched Alex’s face before pulling it hard. She then shook virtual-novel.net head and said, “It’s not as good as money. Your face is worthless.”
“Hahaha!!!”
The guests in the inn burst into pangs of laughter.
Looking at Maximilia at close quarters, Alex stretched his hand and beckoned her. “Maximilia, I have a few words to tell you in private.”
Maximilia smiled coquettishly. “Scholar, you’re really intriguing. You’re starting to pique my interest. You’re not going to take advantage of me suddenly, are you?” Then, virtual-novel.net leaned closer.
Alex whispered a few words in virtual-novel.net ear.
Maximilia was smiling at first, but that expression quickly changed.
At that moment, everyone’s hearts were in their mouths. Everyone scratched their heads, curious to know what Alex had whispered in Maximilia’s ear. To their surprise, virtual-novel.net made Maximilia’s expression change again and again.
