This is not a horse. Its head is very similar to a horse’s, just with a bigger mouth, a longer face, and even uglier. But at the top of the horse’s head, there is a slightly protruding horn;
At the same time, what was previously thought to be armor reflecting light on this mount’s body, upon closer inspection, turned out to be scales that naturally grew on the mount itself!
That fat official pointed at the mount beneath him,
And shouted directly at the armored soldiers blocking the way ahead:
“Credentials? This is my credential! Is that enough?!”
The officer among the armored soldiers immediately knelt down in salute:
“Greetings, Lord Campaign Pacifier!”
At the same time, he quickly ordered his subordinates behind him to step aside and make way.
Eric Foster then extended his left index finger and poked Blind Nate on the shoulder.
“Look.”
Look,
Say it again,
Is this an ordinary world?
“What?” Blind Nate asked in confusion.
“See for yourself.” Eric Foster said.
“I’m blind.”
“……” Eric Foster.
Chapter 8 The Name of the Inn
The inn, backyard, bedroom.
Eric Foster’s room, around the small round table, was filled with people.
It was morning, still some time before the inn’s business for the day would begin;
Of course, as a rule, when the lord calls everyone together, business matters naturally have to be set aside.
Even the wooden box containing the black stone was placed on the table, and everyone was present.
“…That’s basically how things are.”
Eric Foster picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.
Next, it really depended on what these “demon kings” thought.
After all, even though these demon kings were now ordinary people, despite losing their powers, you couldn’t judge them from an ordinary person’s perspective.
Blind Nate slightly raised his head, as if pondering something.
Squatting on his chair, Jack Reed glanced left at Paul Harris and right at Mason, but didn’t intend to speak.
Ryan Grant kept his body restrained to make enough room for his two companions to sit beside him, and didn’t seem to be thinking either.
The stone was still the same stone.
This scene made Eric Foster feel a bit awkward. To cover his embarrassment, Eric Foster had to take several sips of tea in a row.
Why isn’t anyone saying anything?
Last night, what Mason said about not abandoning each other had warmed Eric Foster’s heart, but now this silence was making Eric Foster feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.
Actually, Eric Foster’s thoughts were simple. Even Blind Nate had said before that this was an ordinary world, just with an ancient setting.
But he had clearly seen a creature that couldn’t possibly exist in an ordinary world, so he instinctively felt he should tell everyone about it.
In the end, it was Olivia Green who broke the awkward silence.
Olivia Green stood up first, picked up the teapot on the small table, refilled her lord’s cup, then sat down, faced Eric Foster, and said seriously and sincerely:
“My lord.”
“Hmm?”
“The matter you just mentioned, we can set aside for now. Before we discuss that, we’d like to ask you a question.”
“A question?”
“It’s that, previously you were unconscious, but now you’ve woken up.
So, we want to know, my lord, which path do you plan to take next?”
“Which path?”
Eric Foster was a bit confused. How did this turn into a debate about which path to take?
“One path is to live out the rest of your life peacefully and safely in this world. We will protect you and ensure your safety.
You can get married, have children, and we will provide for all your needs.
If you choose this path, then the previous question is no longer an issue. Whether this world is a high-martial world or an ordinary one, in the end, it can provide a living environment for ordinary people.”
“And… the second path?”
Olivia Green smiled,
Jack Reed smiled,
Ryan Grant also smiled honestly,
Blind Nate smiled too,
Everyone smiled.
“My lord, the second path is…”
At this point, Olivia Green suddenly pointed toward the front hall outside and continued:
“I don’t know if you’ve noticed, my lord, but our inn’s signboard only has the words ‘Inn’ on it, without any prefix.
When we first opened the inn, we all discussed it, but decided to wait until you woke up to add a prefix.”
“Prefix?”
“Yes, my lord. For example, whether to call it Tongfu Inn or New Dragon Gate Inn, it’s all up to you.”
Eric Foster understood.
The first path was to muddle along and wait for death.
The second path was to make things happen!
“My lord, you can think it over carefully.” Ryan Grant spoke up at this moment.
He was an honest man, and he thought these two paths were something Eric Foster needed to consider carefully.
Besides, Eric Foster had only just woken up less than two days ago.
However, Eric Foster didn’t think much about it at all. There were only two paths, left or right, very clear, very straightforward.
“The second one.”
The answer was given very quickly.
