Chapter 687: The Flyers Inn



Andis was the last person Noah helped in the Aradonia city.

Every person he saved was on a whim, a way for Noah to pass his time. But he knew if he continued to help everyone, they would think he was some kind of helper who was supposed to help them no matter what.

After all, humans tend to feel entitled to the things you give them out of pity or care. Once you take them away, they lash out as if you were taking their lives or the right to breathe air.

Noah did not need days to realize the motive of the trial; he already found it once he heard the talk between Gong Ho and the city lord, Xu Shang.

The trial was not for him to save anyone, and neither was he in a fake illusion.

'I wonder what kind of guilt or regret the person who created this trial had.' Noah thought to himself as he stood in front of a decent-looking building in the inner circle, rubbing the ring on his left hand with his thumb.

The Flyers Inn.

Taking a single look at the name board hanging outside the building, Noah pushed the swinging door inwardly and announced his presence with a cough.

Right across from him was a young woman with golden hair and brown eyes, sitting behind the counter reading a book with a laid-back, silly smile on her face. She wore a pale red uniform with a mark of the inn.

"Ah!" Noah's cough startled the woman, clearly not expecting him to be there. "A guest?" She exclaimed in surprise. Hiding the book behind the counter while nervously tucking the strand of her loose hair behind her ears.

"Ahem! I mean, welcome to the Flyers Inn, master." She saw the amused look on Noah's face and realized how disrespectful she was being and hurriedly walked around the counter. She bowed to Noah with grace, revealing her blemished jade skin. "My name is Ze Na. How can I help you?"

"Well, Ze Na, I would like to book a room for a year." Noah decided not to bring up her questionable book choices, as he already loved a woman with the same hobby.

"A year?" Ze Na straightened her back in shock and looked at Noah, doubt creeping up in her mind. 'Is he playing a prank? He has to be, right? Or else who in their right mind would come to this city to visit when there is a beast tide that is about to strike, let alone stay? Well, of course I am different, as I am being paid to stay here.'

"Yes, a year. Is that a problem?" Noah saw through her thoughts without even needing to read her mind and added, "Can you help me calculate the rent I would have to pay to stay here?"

"Umm… sure. Please give me a moment." Even though she was not sure whether or not Noah was messing with her, she could tell by his appearance that he could pay the amount if he needed to.

So she decided to play along with Noah, despite the outcome, since she was too free at the moment.

Not that she was trying to make him forget the title of the book she was reading.

With blush covering her cheeks, Ze Na skipped towards the table and started scribbling on a page before turning around.

"So… we have three types of rooms. Yellow-level rooms, earth-level rooms, and heaven-level rooms each have different rates and features." Once done with the scribbling, she turned around and looked Noah in the eye and put on a salesperson's persona. "Shall I go through each one of them?"

"No need for that, just the rates." Looking away from the decorations in the hall, Noah focused back on the woman and shook his head.

"Come on! I even had the whole speech prepared in my head! How can you be so heartless? Since you are a bit handsome, I will let you go, hmph!' Hiding the fuming rage in her mind, she showed a sweet smile on her face, "Very well. Yellow-grade rooms will cost you a total of 50 gold coins for a year, and that is with the discount I am adding for the long duration."

Picking up the page from the table, she passed it to Noah and continued, "As you can see here, the Earth Level lodgings would be a bit costlier, for around 100 gold coins, and the heaven ones are for around 300."

"You might think the difference in the rates is quite big, but you will later see that the rooms are worth—" Before she could finish anything, Noah started walking towards the woman, shaking her confidence.

She paused and took a step back as he came closer to her, but the table behind her blocked her from doing so.

Noah stood in front of her while she gulped a mouthful of saliva tensely. Her fingers curled around the edge of the table, and she snapped her eyes closed, raising her chin in anticipation.

Thud!

But her chaotic thoughts stilled when she heard the sound of something heavy falling on the wooden desk. She opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was the deadpan look on Noah's face.

Her cheeks flushed… like really red. She went beet red from the shame of what she had done and, 'kyaaaa! What was I thinking? That damned book! I read a similar scene in there, but this is reality! Why would something like that happen here? Silly Na!'

Without looking up, Ze Na turned around and saw 30 ingots of gold lying on the table over a red cloth. The money did not hide her shame, but it did make her eyes shine brightly. 'Maybe one of my fantasies might come true.'

"Can you take me to my room now?" Noah asked to snap the woman out of her staring contest with the gold.

While Noah was checking into the inn, Andis, the woman he saved, finally stopped roaming around the city aimlessly. She had been walking around for more than 12 hours with no idea what to do with her life when she suddenly found herself in front of the army barracks on the outskirts of the inner circle, where the men were being trained in a strict and ruthless manner.

In the crowd she also saw her husband and flinched, but then she noticed something.

The man she feared all of her married life being treated the way she was treated—kicked and spat on when he made a mistake and shouted at when he failed to comply.

Seeing this, she felt something triggering inside of her, a feeling she never had before. She suddenly started to recall the words Noah said to her. The questions he asked were about the goddess Anna.

As she thought about him, her eyes fell on the spears in the hands of the training soldiers. She tilted her head slightly and stared intently as it moved under the swings of the instructor. She got so lost in watching them that she even forgot the passage of time.
