Chapter 342
They went to the local inn which was nearby . Standing deserted with no trees around or houses that stood distantly away from it, they walked inside the quiet inn . Going to the counter, Damien rang the bell which was placed on top of the desk .
"It looks like an abandoned place," Penny stated, her green eyes taking in the place where there was no one, "Where is this place?" They didn't know where the towns had been built exactly and would need to look for it .
"We are in one of the abandoned towns in Wovile . The town that has been built is nearby . A fair walkable distance . The last time I was here, I came across people who were helping the town being built," his eyes took in the desk and the door which stood ajar open behind the counter .
"We might be the only customers," she murmured and a woman walked through the curtains where the door had been open . Her appearance small and her back bent as she made her way and stood in front of them . Her short hair was grey in color, wearing a dull green sweater over her body which made her look slightly plumpy in appearance .
"What do you want?" asked the lady, her voice in no state being polite but brash as if the people who had stepped inside the inn were annoying her .
Damien placed a gold coin on the desk, his fingers moving the coin to her front as he said, "We want a room and food for four days," a bright smile was plastered on his face . The woman looked down at the gold coin, her face turning a little mellower by the sight of the coin .
When Damien let go of the coin, drawing his hand back . The lady took the coin from the top of the counter, putting it in her pocket dress, "Follow me," she said, her eyes staring at both of them and walking towards the other side of the small inn . She took them to the next floor which was the only one after which came the roof . There were three rooms, and she went to one of the rooms, picking up her keys which jingled in her hands as she unlocked the door .
The woman appeared to be grumpy who didn't spare too many words for them, "The water is cold at noon . The only time it will be heated is in the morning and it will cost extra if you need hot water at the time of night . "
"Doesn't the gold coin cover everything?" Penny asked, knowing well how much the coin meant to the local villagers . The lower class families earned in terms of nickel and penny's, the maximum they could go up to was by saving a few silver coins but feeding and having the basic necessities often exhausted the saved money .
"It doesn't," the woman replied back in a clipped tone . Damien didn't bother to haggle and he handed her four more coins to Penny's astonishment . Master Damien giving out money without haggling? Did something happen to him?
