Just like its appearance, the interior of the dark masonry hotel also reveals a sense of solemnity. There are not many complicated decorations inside the hotel-in fact, it can be said that there is no decoration. In the fairly spacious hall, apart from the mahogany bookshelves filled with books, there are only the same wooden tables and chairs that are the same.

Hmm... It's more appropriate to say that it is a library than a hotel.

"Here is the largest hotel in the Royal City of Bader."

Arnold and I stood in the hall together, waiting for check-in procedures. I don't know where he got the hotel booklet, and opened it naturally.

"It is also the hotel with the longest history. It already existed before Baide became a nation."

Ice-colored eyes drooped. The handsome and indifferent boy added in a cold and calm voice, "Rumor. This is a hotel founded by humans and fantasy species."

But now, only humans are left.

I looked around. Although it is a historic hotel. But now I can't feel anything except the full Baide wind.

Outdated scholarly. Dark wood furniture. Soft but inspiring light. It seems that these form a Baide Kingdom.

"Which kind of fantasy is it?" I looked at all this and asked casually.

Arnold answered quickly, "Fox demon."

The black pupils shrank sharply. I turned my head in disbelief.

"It is rumored to be a fantasy species with fox ears and a fox tail." The ice-colored knight's expression is still so indifferent, which is definitely not the expression when lying, "Except for these, it is no different from the beautiful and enchanting human female. Fox. There are only females in the demonic race. So they will intermarry with human men. Because the human aesthetic is the closest to them. And they generally hate the vampires who have no muscles and are not real."

...My expression suddenly became very imaginary.

If it was before Baide became a nation. That must be history before the Hundred Years' War. At that time fantasy species had not yet been involved in human wars. The interaction with humans is also relatively close.

"Human scholars named them'Human Fox Race'. But they rejected it because it was too ugly." The ice-colored gaze changed from one side to the other. Arnold read the above in a voice without emotional ups and downs, "In their country. All humanoid fantasy species with animal characteristics are derived from the ‘cultivation’ of animals."

"'Cultivation' seems to be the unique way of understanding'evolution' in that country. And this kind of fantasy derived from animal's'cultivation' is collectively referred to as'monster'."

... It's obviously something full of fantasy. Why is the line between the lines filled with the breath of a straight steel man.

"The fox demon is a fantasy species that migrated from the other side of the sea a hundred years ago." Arnold continued. The inexplicable sense of contradiction that was originally read by him is even more serious. "Although they are all enchanting women, they are quite talented in business. Through the ancestral ability to open hotels. In The mainland soon settled down."

"This hotel was opened by a fox demon." Thankfully. Arnold finally put away the booklet, "Bad doesn't like lying. Even in business. These should be true."

...Is it possible that it is fake if it is written so detailed.

I sighed. Scratched the back of his head. At this time, the cold boy sounded, "This hotel was destroyed during the Hundred Years' War. It was rebuilt again after the founding of Baide."

"But at that time the fox demon had already annihilated the clan." The ice-colored boy paused. Then he said, "The current hotel was rebuilt by the later Baiders through impressions."

Therefore, in addition to the "lantern". Isn't there a little bit of fantasy element?

The cause of the Hundred Years' War was because a man discovered a way to allow humans to use "magic". Before this, there was no such thing as a magical device. The "paper lantern" that can block the wind and soften the light may have been passed down by the Baide people because of its practicality.

"Arnold."

I stood up. Looking at the boy who was watching him, he asked, "Can you take me to the door to take a look."

"good."

The ice-colored knight answered without hesitation.

Because it may cause trouble to the person who issued the room number. So I found a bunch of air and said "I'm sorry". Then led Arnold to the door.

The lanterns are placed very high. I thought Arnold would use the Wind Magic to float me up or use the Ice Magic to build a ladder. But he was unexpectedly uncharacteristic. Put me on his shoulders.

...I'm glad I always wear pants.

This posture is not the first time. When he put the bird that fell on the ground back into the nest in the tree long ago, he also held me like this.

The water-colored head is fluffy, as soft as imagined. The cold hands just put on my thighs, making my old face flush.

"His Royal Highness Gadliche."

I lowered my head when I heard it. As a result, he met an indifferent handsome face and clear, icy eyes. And the ice-colored boy asked with his voice that was as clean and cold as his eyes, "Is there any discovery."

"..."

Do I really have no feminine charm at all! ! !

"Have you not noticed that this lamp is different from all other lights of Baide." I said with a black face.

And Arnold answered without hesitation, "No."

"..."

Except for forgiving him. what can I do.

"This is the lantern. It should be the craftsmanship brought by the fox demon." Ignored Arnold. I explained blankly, "If I'm right. The lantern should be a wooden frame pasted with a layer of paper. A candle is placed in the middle."

"And this lantern is not like that at all."

Although the sticky outside is paper. But it is the same as the composite paper used in books, and most of the ingredients are magic core.

Do not be afraid of the wind and rain. Unless it is deliberately torn or poke with a lot of force. Otherwise it can be used for a long time.

The light source inside is even more unlikely to be a candle.

Nowadays, the magic technology is so advanced. Almost every household uses magic guide lighting. And this "lantern" is the same. Inside is a high-purity ice magic core. The reason why the paper is not completely attached to its surface does not prevent its luminous properties. The Baiders hate cold-colored ice light and too bright light. So a loop is set up around the magic core. To control its color and brightness.

As for the barrier used to protect the entire lantern, I won't say anything. This year unless the size is too small. All magical devices will do this kind of enchantment.

That's right. Magic guide.

I don't understand whether this can be called a "lantern"... except for the appearance. And I'm also sure that the people of Baide don't know the cultural connotation behind the "lantern" at all.

The high-purity magic core inside is enough to make a few ordinary lights. It can be seen that the Baide people did not hesitate to pay several times the price to restore the "lantern" of this "hotel".

But does it make sense.

"Except for the outside. Everything is different."

Cool fingertips removed the lantern. I looked at the warm light and murmured, "Perhaps if there is more time. He might be a ‘lantern’."

But the war began.

Although the combination of paper and candle is really stupid to look at now. But behind the craftsmanship is the inheritance of a long culture of another country.

but in fact. Nowadays, the people of Baide are apart from the "lantern" in their memory. I don't remember anything anymore.

"Bad has a big problem in this country."

I pressed my lips tightly and said in a low voice, "They care too much about knowledge. They forget about culture."

But fortunately, someone reacted. Although only a few.

Rozroltun Perrelet.

The success of this man brought "humanity", "history" and "culture" into Baide. Although the "Love, Fire and Poetry" is about a sad and ghostly NTR story. But its real value is here.

This is also the reason why Rozroltun is worth remembering.

"...What should I do."

Arnold put me down. And I, who was meditating in deep thought, looked melancholy. It didn't slow down until the feet landed.

"What do you do?" Arnold asked.

"I seem to have become Roz Roerton." I said with a tangled face, "Although it is really pitiful to say that grandpa is. But I really can't figure out why grandma would give up such a man and choose grandpa."

Although my dad kept telling me that my grandparents really love each other. There are so many oil paintings in the city of Saint Enluth, and none of them tells the innocent and beautiful love of the two.

My face was tangled in pain. Even the heart that had fallen silent just now because of the cruelty of the Hundred Years' War was beating again. Although it is still for bad things.

The war is really horrible. It can affect people even after a hundred years. Although it may also inspire people to "become stronger and richer" or something, to be honest, it is definitely more negative than positive.

Such a comparison. How difficult it is for Rozroltun to be a retrograde man in the era.

……Oh, God! !

I was holding my head and crying bitterly. I actually became Rozrol Tunbu! Grandpa dad, I'm sorry for you! There is a traitor in the Saint Enluth family!

"In history, Rozroltun died at the age of twenty-six."

The black eyes opened slightly. I raised my head and looked at Arnold in front of me.

The ice-colored eyes are still so indifferent and calm. Nothing seemed to be touched, "It can be said that he died young. At that time everyone tried to save him. But he still died."

"And there is no cure for this terminal illness. So it is normal for Princess Jiulan to choose the first king."

"Because there is no reason to choose a man with no future."

"..."

I looked at Arnold blankly. Did not speak.

And he looked at me in such silence.

We looked at each other like this for a long time. Until someone in the lobby shouted my name angrily.

"...I thought you would say something nonsensical again."

I covered my face. A depressed voice came from between the fingers, "But I didn't expect you to sprinkle salt on the wound fiercely."

Arnold did not reply. Only after a while, he said in a cold voice, "I think my inference is not wrong. But if it hurts you. Take it as my fault."

I sighed.

you're not wrong. No one is wrong.

What is wrong is the cruel reality.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The truth is more than that. Grandma and grandpa are also in love x

The war a hundred years ago was really terrifying. I won't say how many people of the fantasy species have almost become extinct and Yinglan has become the number one old gangster in the mainland. It is an almost annihilated impact on culture and humanity.

Even the little princess was so scary now.

Not to mention someone. 【Light a cigarette】
