Chapter 1406: Chapter 1407: Arrival

“The city chosen by the meteorite?”

Feng Yuan suspiciously looked at Agunas, knowing that meteorites in this world were not purely natural phenomena. He felt that Agunas and the others should know what the situation really was. Agunas swayed its tail and said,

“Not exactly, it’s just that this area happens to be near a frequently used battleground, so those meteoric fragments piercing the starry sky tend to fall within this vicinity.”

“More specifically, perhaps He thinks gathering these meteorites here is more suitable?”

As for why this place is visited by meteorites so often, Agunas isn’t really sure. After all, they wouldn’t delve into such trivial matters. As to whether there might be any hidden dangers? The possibility is small as those meteorites are under His watch, little chance for anything unusual to occur.

Soretcher City belongs to the Dantia Region, but perhaps due to the frequent meteorite falls, the architectural style here doesn’t showcase much Dantia characteristics. The outer walls of the entire city are primarily in meteorite hues, unlike other Dantia towns decorated all over with flowers.

Of course, although flowers are relatively few, that is compared to the Dantia towns Feng Yuan and the others have visited. Not to mention that cities are naturally less decorated with flowers, even now in Soretcher there are far more flowers than in Maomu City.

Flowers are almost on every window balcony, and road dividers filled with flower beds separate pedestrians from vehicles. However, in this city, flowers are more of an embellishment.

The whole city, maybe by gravitating towards a rocky style design, seems somewhat cold, but those flowers well neutralize that coldness. Regarding this city, Feng Yuan admires most the unified architectural style. How they managed it is unknown; nearly every building revolves around the meteorite theme.

“A city with distinct characteristics; maintaining this uniqueness probably required substantial effort,”

Dou Yanlan commented while gazing at Soretcher City under the night sky. Qi Chen asked curiously,

“Can you tell the city’s characteristics just from standing here? I feel like there isn’t much of a difference.”

“Do you think this city looks like a whole? Whether it’s flowers, houses, or even those streetlights?”

Dou Yanlan explained with a faint smile, scratching his head, Qi Chen took a while before realizing it in astonishment,

“It really does seem like that! I remember even Wilt Bay had lots of mismatched buildings, how is this place…”

“That’s their unique aspect, something others might not be able to imitate. Who knows the efforts they made to maintain this appearance,”

Dou Yanlan smiled slightly looking at the stretching Cotton in her arms, while Veronia nodded in agreement, saying,

“You’re right, such resolve reminds me of our Mythical Era.”

Tossing its tail again, Agunas didn’t dispute, though the rulers during the Dynasty Era had significant control, it was challenging to achieve this. Or rather, there was no need to accomplish such a feat.

“Let’s go then, wonder how the hotel Middel helped us book will be?”

Feng Yuan hailed a vintage-style taxi, picked up Xiao Ji, and spoke to the group. Dou Yanlan smiled looking at the taxi styled in Dynasty Era aesthetics, impressed Soretcher even considered this?

As the taxi navigated the streets, perhaps the unique city style piqued Feng Yuan’s interest, he held Xiao Ji and pointed out various buildings outside all the way. Qi Chen, contrary to Feng Yuan, rested with closed eyes, not having slept much on the train.

Once the last car arrived and everyone gathered, Feng Yuan inspected a hotel building resembling an ancient stone tower and said,

“Why is this hotel named ‘September Rose’?”

“A high-end chain hotel spread throughout the Omeilia Region, is it here adapting to local customs too?”

Observing the archaic stone tower building, Dou Yanlan softly spoke. September Rose isn’t any ordinary hotel. If she remembers correctly, besides being expensive, it doesn’t accept regular guests.

That’s only normal, considering the hotel arranged by Middel; the other party being a Dantia noble naturally wouldn’t set them up in just an ordinary hotel. Besides, they helped defend Wilt Bay, too meager a token of appreciation would be disgraceful before other nobles.

Feng Yuan led the way into the hotel, even Dou Yanlan couldn’t help but take an extra look at the tastefully designed lobby. The security, though noticed Feng Yuan’s group, was unsure if they fit the guest standards due to Feng Yuan’s carefree demeanor, thus didn’t immediately inquire.

Upon seeing Feng Yuan spoke a few words at the front desk, presenting documents and receiving a string of room keys, the security silently sighed relief, grateful he didn’t go up and ask. Sometimes guests may file complaints just because he approached.

Only after Feng Yuan’s group took the elevator upstairs did he discreetly ask at the front desk,

“What’s the situation with those guests earlier? I almost went to ask what brought them here.”

Glancing at the security, the receptionist shook her head and replied,

“You’re indeed lucky; they’re guests arranged by the Verlun nobles, with their stay billed directly under the Verlun family.”

No need to say more, she knew the security understood just fine. Hearing the receptionist’s response, he gasped astoundedly, directly billed under the Verlun family?! Thank goodness he didn’t act recklessly, else a complaint would be troublesome. Though the hotel wouldn’t penalize him due to unreasonable guest complaints, verifying the truth still poses inconvenience, he would prefer avoiding even dealing with complaints.

Distributing room keys among the group, Long Boduo took his key, puzzled, and asked Feng Yuan,

“Why did I get one too?”

“The rooms here are assigned per person, and you being in human form naturally get a room yourself.”

Rolling his eyes, Feng Yuan replied annoyed; though there are bigger rooms and shared rooms here, Middel didn’t book them, not knowing their accommodation preferences. As for deciding based on Verlun Castle’s room bookings? Impossible, Verlun Castle’s hotel is directly modified from the original castle rooms, each guest room far larger than usual ones; really basing it on that would likely cause issues.

Returning to his guest room, Feng Yuan glanced at Xiao Ji and said,

“I’m going to take a bath, want to join?”

Eyeing Feng Yuan, Xiao Ji retreated a few steps, shaking its head wildly in refusal, while Agunas swung its tail speechless and said,

“Trying to force it to bathe again?”

“No way, just asking, I thought It had overcome water fear, but alright, Xiao Ji, if tired just rest then.”

Xiao Ji quietly sat on the carpet, saying nothing, with Big Cat taking out a phone checking something. Xiao Ji edged closer, puzzled by what Big Cat was looking at, murmuring something, as Agunas perched on the windowsill silently watching the cityscape outside,

Kong Qing settled Pomiti in a corner, helping tidy its coat with its tail while Little Ice Cream wanted to sneak a peek at what Xiao Ji and Big Cat were discussing, but found no suitable gap, daring not force past.

If it tried, no mention Xiao Ji dealing with it, Big Cat would surely disapprove. Big Cat, acting alone not counting, might even call Kong Qing to join punishing; trying left and right finding no chance, Little Ice Cream sulked aside.

Qi Chen, observing Ah Mu patiently tending to the Flower Leaf Tree Three Spirit Beasts, chuckled. Ah Mu was making the small creatures settle and rest, yet despite their fatigue, they kept restless. Even Qi Chen joined unsuccessfully in calming them to sleep properly. However, their antics wore them out until finally dozing off, seeing this Qi Chen sighed helplessly.

Ah Mu gently placed them onto a small Spirit Beast bed with vines, turning to Qi Chen, joyously swaying. White feathers flower atop its crown, flutter with its movements nearly falling off.
