Hotel on the mountain

She heard that she was going for outdoor activities, so Selena put on a camel plaid jacket and a flat vertical skirt. She adjusted her bowler hat with silk flowers on her head with her gloved hands, and walked briskly. Stepping out, he opened the door and saw Jetro, still wearing a white shirt and blue scarf, waiting outside. Jetro smiled, praised Selena's outfit, and then led Orhan and Selina downstairs to the vestibule.

Many nobles brought their families here for vacation. Some children looked around excitedly, and some "arrogant" boys wanted to run to the watchtower that had not yet been restored, euphemistically calling it adventure, but He was quickly stopped by the guards.

Jetro stood in front of the fountain and said to the guests: "Thank you very much for your willingness to sacrifice your precious time to spend a 'boring' vacation at the Alpine Hotel.

I believe everyone wants to know, what is so interesting about vacationing in the New World? After all, in our social scene, it's nothing more than getting drunk alone and then dancing with the lady you like. I also believe that you can drink enough to not get drunk for a night, and your dancing skills are also perfect.

But, I don’t know, how are your riding skills? "

After Jetro finished speaking, he raised his cane high in the midst of everyone's laughter - it was taken from Lucio.

When the sentry at the gatehouse saw the cane, he began to wave to the people down the slope. Everyone in the vestibule felt their feet shaking, as if a large number of cavalry were galloping upwards. Some military personnel who had participated in the war couldn't help but hold the hands of their family members, and Yetro raised his cane in panic.

Soon, the cavalry they thought appeared - it was a monster called "Blue Velociraptor" that was only slightly larger than a horse, and the guards rode them one by one and stopped at these pampered places with their heads held high. In front of the guests, they turned over one by one and vacated the blue velociraptor.

In the surprised eyes of the guests, Yetro walked up to a blue velociraptor and turned over. The blue velociraptor had a muzzle on its mouth, the reins were held in Yetro's hands, and it was equipped with a dragon saddle. . Jetro swung his cane in a circle in a graceful manner - he had practiced this one-handed cane flipping action for a long time, which was enough to make some female guests present exclaim with excitement and express eyebrows. He shouted loudly: "Everyone! Has anyone ever ridden a monster?!"

"No!"

"This is incredible, how did you tame the monster clan?!"

"Although there are occasional friendships between monsters and humans, these are only individuals, not such a large group."

When Jetro heard a lot of questions from the crowd, he smiled and responded with a confident smile: "It's simple, just tame their leader."

This answer is just like asking "How to defeat ancient dragons - simple, just be stronger than them". It has no substantive content - because being able to become the leader of the monster group means that they are the purest monsters, which is impossible Birth of friendship with humans.

But the doubts in the crowd have disappeared, because some young men have already been infected by Yetro's actions. They flew towards the Blue Velociraptor as if they had discovered the most romantic epic of men, and rode with the help of the guards. Go up.

But this time, Selina was not blocked by Orhan. With the help of the maid, she boarded the Blue Velociraptor. With her feet together on one side, her fingertips gently traced the Blue Velociraptor's neck. The scales turned into palms and touched them nervously. Jetro turned his head to look at her, just in time to see the corners of Selena's mouth raised, revealing her smiling dimples and white teeth. Selina also sensed the sight and turned to look at Jetro. Although she was still smiling at this time, her smile became much more reserved. Jetro nodded and stopped looking at her.

On the other side, Orhan proudly maintained his royal demeanor, but his slightly trembling calves and urgent speed when riding the Blue Velociraptor revealed how excited he was about it.

After two members of the royal family set an example, the remaining nobles were no longer reserved - most of them had only seen monsters in the leather items they wore and the delicacies on their plates. Now they can get close to them. They were close to touching a monster species unique to the New World. Everyone was smiling and cheering and chatting on the back of the blue velociraptor. Naturally, some people who were afraid of monsters also got on the horses.

Looking at this scene, Jetro felt that this group of people had left a deep impression on the New World. Their five senses would make them remember this experience of riding monsters - and this kind of experience was not available in the Old World. It is something that is not found in aristocratic life.

The way to do this was that Yetro enslaved the Blue Velociraptor King of the Blue Velociraptor group, and asked the Blue Velociraptor King to give orders to the tribe so that they would not attack humans, and then began to tame other animals just like taming horses or wild beasts. Blue velociraptors were injected with a small amount of sleep medicine to ensure that they would not go crazy suddenly.

Jetro shook his cane, rode the dragon to the bottom of the gate tower and shouted to everyone: "Today! Let's ride the dragon!"

As if men and women had found spring again, they all responded and cheered excitedly. Yetro drove the dragon and galloped down the slope, and they all rushed out after him. A group of guards began to mount their horses and follow behind to escort him.

People rode blue velociraptors and roamed in the forest. The sound of gurgling streams drifted past their ears. They saw all kinds of wonderful creatures running among the branches and the forest. The mottled tree shadows fell on their shoulders, which made many people wonder. Everyone looked up as if intoxicated. The tranquility and turmoil of the forest blend into one. People walking in it feel as if they are being blown forward by the wind. The waves of the sea of ​​trees gently push everyone, spreading joy and laughter.

Groups of twos and threes were separated from the large army and began to look for their own adventure. Jetro was not worried about this, because after a year of exploration by hunters, the area of ​​the marginal forest that was not sandwiched between two high mountains had been completely explored. , the strongest monster here, the Black Eclipse Dragon, has also established an equal and friendly cooperative relationship with Yetro, so as long as they do not enter the forest in the valley, there will be no other problems. The area we are visiting now is quite far away from the entrance of the valley.

Jetro took them all the way to Marginal Lake and prepared to hold an afternoon tea here. Tables, chairs and a buffet dining area have been set up on the green lakeside meadow. The older people choose to take a rest in Halong, while the younger children and young people still ride the Blue Velociraptor and start racing around the lake. .

The scenery by the lake is like the cradle of childhood, which makes people want to lie down on the grass and sleep peacefully. Jetro, Orhan and Selena are sitting at the same table. Although he is always chatting with the two of them, he All his attention was focused on the young people riding the Blue Velociraptor. Seeing those people running to the approximate location, Yetro contacted the Emperor Xinglan in his mind and asked him to do a small favor - he saw a small The walking lantern fish suddenly jumped out of the lake and directly hit the pacing Blue Velociraptor, knocking the little nobleman off it. The crowd suddenly let out noisy exclamations. People with military experience quickly He stood in front of everyone and looked nervously at the ugly, big-mouthed fish that jumped out of the lake.

"Don't be nervous!" Jetro stood up and shouted, "It's not dangerous!"

The little lantern fish is just a one-star monster. It has no special attack moves except for launching poor water bombs and biting. Moreover, its size is only half the size of an adult, but it is closing in on the target every step of the way. When it knocked down the little noble, everyone present was extremely nervous.

This walking lantern fish that jumped out was the "performer" agreed upon by Yetro and the Emperor's Walking Lantern. According to the Emperor's Walking Lantern, if there is no fire on the shore, these little things will only attack once and then retract back into the water. Therefore, the way it presses forward step by step is just a creature poking its head when faced with new things. If it is not attacked or stimulated, it will quickly fall back into the water. But Jetro wouldn't let it go.

Jetro pulled out a thin sword from the guard, took the small torch that had been prepared, and ran to the little lantern fish. Everyone present watched Yetro's movements - they saw his left hand holding the torch waved in front of the lantern fish, and the little fish's attention was completely attracted by the torch. When Yetro held the torch After throwing it out, the little lantern fish opened its big mouth and rushed out to devour the torch. Jetro took this opportunity to step forward and pierced the head of the lantern fish with a sword, killing it. - Yetro has no sympathy for this, because he knows that the little lantern fish is a creature with little intelligence. It may like to eat fire when it is "good", and it also likes to eat people when it is fierce.

None of the visitors had seen this kind of creature before. They were frightened by its ugly appearance and sudden appearance at first. But now that they saw that this kind of creature was so easy to deal with, the frowns on their frightened brows relaxed, and they became a little bit confused. Looking eager to try.

At this moment, many small lantern fish jumped onto the shore. They had big mouths and roared demonstratively. Jetro wanted to create an exciting experience in nature for everyone, so he explained: " This kind of monster likes fire, so we only need to hold the torch to attract their attention and use the other hand to deal with them. But remember, the torch must be thrown out, otherwise they will jump to your hand. "

Young people are always easy to set an example. They can't wait to take weapons and torches from the guards and join in the experience of killing monsters. In order to prevent accidents, a large team of well-trained crossbowmen and hunter Daniel were watching to prevent some people from holding onto the torches because they were too nervous.

Because Orhan himself was eager to try, Selena was not hindered. She had learned swordsmanship in the palace, but had never fought before. Now she could engage in "actual combat" without restraint, and she was already laughing happily like a crazy little girl after killing the lantern fish. There are also some people who like to look cool in front of the opposite sex with their swords, swinging left and right like a dancing actor, and turning the sword around twice from time to time, which they think is very handsome. As a result, they fail to throw the torch in their hands and get punished. When the walking lantern fish pounced and bit him - a crossbow arrow was shot quickly and killed the walking lantern fish, but when the smooth and huge body hit the young people according to the inertia, it also aroused the ridicule of many people around it.

But what caught Jetro's attention the most was Orhan. He stabbed the lantern fish with a sword as if he was venting something - killing can best liberate a person's desire. Orhan's white face had already Stained with the blood of the lantern fish, he also had a smile, but it was a ferocious smile - this kind of smile was restrained and crazy. At first, he only killed the corpse with a sword and then stopped whipping the corpse, but later, he He changed his axe, and started chopping wildly at the dead body of the lantern fish. The more he chopped, the more ferocious it became. In the end, he had given up the help of the torch and directly strangled the lantern fish together, letting the enemy's blood splash. On Chinese clothes.

After everyone had the same experience, injured, handsome, and embarrassed, Jetro immediately arranged for a few giant lantern fish to show their heads, and instantly killed those who forgot about themselves and thought they were invincible. People's minds are awakened, allowing them to understand that there are more terrifying monsters in nature.

As dusk fell, everyone rode the Blue Velociraptor on the road back to the hotel. Everyone was exhausted, but felt fulfilled. Orhan was driving the dragon beside Jetro, the leader, and the afterglow of the setting sun had lengthened their shadows.

"You did it, Jetro, the nobles will like it here." Orhan spoke first.

Jetro smiled back: "I have put a lot of effort into this. I also saw that you had a lot of fun, Your Highness... So, what do you think, Your Highness? Maybe you can provide me with some guidance for my service."

Orhan also smiled. His slightly curly long blond hair hung around his ears. His white skin and rosy face made him really look like a boy next door - his appearance was the same as his The temperament doesn't match, just as Jetro's looks don't match his age. Orhan said: "I used to go outdoors a lot, but it was like playing in the pool in my backyard. Although I was swimming, I always felt that the most precious thing, water, was missing. But now, I understand. , that is 'pure', always 'pure' is the best. The experience now is like being in the sea, in the center of the ocean, the island is on your left, the storm is on your right, your There are sharks around you, and your hands are holding shark-catching tools... There are dangers around you, but you also feel safe."

"It's a very profound sentiment. Thank you for sharing, Your Highness." Jetro responded sincerely.

Just listen to Orhan continue to say: "Yetro, the most important thing is that you have strengthened my belief - as a royal noble, it turns out that our life should not only be games and climaxes, we also need to have excitement, The living part." He turned around, still smiling like a young boy, and said, "As a prince, I would really like to pursue this feeling of being alive."

After saying that, he rode aside alone, leaving Yetro looking at his background. Jetro felt that Orhan was a man full of contradictions. He was obviously very gentle, but he was very ferocious when hunting monsters. He obviously acted like he cared about his sister's safety, but he didn't care about the game when he was playing. How about Lina. In the memory of the original Yetro, when Orhan bullied him, he was a person who liked to follow his brother and kick him secretly.

Perhaps his royal life was wandering between truth and falsehood.

What kind of gift would such a person like? What can be done to get him to help free Charles? Jetro thought hard.
