Chapter 121: The Adventurer’s Squad in the Bathhouse
Chapter 120 The Adventurer Squad in the Bathhouse
Early in the morning, the sunlight outside the window was just shining on his face when Roger got up from his bed.
Although Roger’s age wasn’t young, he maintained his physical fitness well, and after moving his muscles and feeling that most of the stamina consumed from the long journey had been restored, he nodded with satisfaction.
The life of an adventurer never has anything to do with comfort, even the quests around the towns are rarely able to return on the same day, the daily life of an adventurer is to eat and sleep in the open air, so Roger has long gotten used to this kind of life.
Indifferently putting the leather boots that emitted a certain flavor that could not be described in words on his feet, bending down and taking out the wooden basin that every room had from under the bed, Roger opened the door to his room.
As the only inn in the territory, the area is certainly not small, the main building is three stories high, the first floor is the restaurant and bar, the second and third floors are divided into superior and deluxe rooms according to different grades.
Considering that not everyone is rich, there are three other two-story buildings behind the main building, forming a zigzag pattern, all of them are ordinary rooms, and the open space in the center can also park a carriage.
Although Roger was an adventurer, his income wasn’t low, but he didn’t dare to be generous, because if there was a problem with their equipment or body, it often meant that they had to hemorrhage money, so they couldn’t do without enough savings, they had to learn how to save money, so the rooms they lived in were all ordinary rooms.
In fact, the ordinary room is not bad, whether it is a single room or double room, the internal space is enough to set down a bed, a closet and a small table, and very clean, compared to the rooms they have lived in other places, can be called a superior room, at least Roger they can not pick any faults.
However, only high-grade room will have someone to send water to send food, or you can add money, but the frugal Roger will not be so wasteful, not to mention that the service here is not bad, downstairs there is free hot water, although not unlimited, used to wash the face and feet enough, if you want to spend more money, you can go to the town’s bathhouse.
Yesterday Roger looked at it from a distance, and when he thought about it now, he felt itchy all over, after all, he hadn’t taken a bath for a month.
Solely go back again, open the backpack intends to find a change of clothes, but helplessly found that there is not a clean, all boarded up.
After thinking about it, piled all the dirty clothes in a wooden basin, Roger carried the basin to the bathhouse, where he intended to wash all the clothes in one piece.
This was normal, it wasn’t easy to boil a bucket of hot water, so of course he had to make the most of it.
The town’s bathhouse was the same as Green Shade Town, there were cisterns and drains on both sides of the main entrance, making it convenient for residents to wash their clothes here.
Roger saw that this was good, so he found a large waisted peasant woman in the neighborhood and paid her to help with the laundry.
Looked at a pile of clothes framed with stinking mud like, and the smell of spicy eyes, the peasant woman asked for more than fifty percent of the money to take the job, and then whirled up a wooden stick whacked up a pile of clothes immersed in the water, and then whacked to the head of the squid as, black and cloudy liquid spread in an instant, causing downstream women who are washing their clothes have to shout and curse, the peasant woman is not willing to be weak, while washing the same time on the cursing, and suddenly let Roger think that the money spent is worth it! It was worth the money spent, otherwise he would be the one being scolded right now.
Roger was afraid of being involved in the scolding war, tightly walked two steps into the lobby of the bathhouse, first surprised that the entire bathhouse is built of stone, and then surprised at the cheap price, because this money is cheaper than in the hotel to find someone to boil water and use a tub to take a bath.
Quickly paying the money, Roger took the complimentary bath beans and headed inside.
The bathhouse was divided into an outside lobby, a changing room in the center, and an innermost bath.
The changing room was guarded by heavily armed soldiers, as for the reason, it was very simple, because a single cabinet with a small lock could not do much, so it was better to send soldiers to stand guard, and whoever dared to mess with the things directly chopped off their hands.
Although simple and rough, but the evaluation is good, no one wants to come dirty, clean and even clothes are not gone.
In accordance with the number plate to find the corresponding cabinet, a little hesitation, Roger or to strip himself naked, weapons and money bags are stuffed to the innermost, with dirty clothes cover, as for whether there is no use, think it is useless, but now can only believe that such a large bathhouse this point of credibility is still there.
Roger walked the bird holding the wooden tub into the bathhouse, the steam that came to his face so that he closed his eyes and took a deep breath of relief, feeling that the whole person was moisturized. When he opened his eyes, the center of the water vapor bath did not have many people, because few people would come to take a bath early in the morning, which means that the water will be very clean.
Roger was a little impatient to get in and have a good soak, but no, according to the rules here, you have to do a full body cleanup first, otherwise you will be thrown out naked.
Although confident in his own capital and not afraid of exposure, but think of the fact that he would be exposed to a bunch of peasant women washing clothes, Roger felt it was good to follow the rules.
Wandering over to the aqueduct that encircled the entire bathroom, he sat on a wooden stool just facing the aqueduct that was about as tall as a drinking trough, the constant flow of hot water inside staggered Roger.
Simply too extravagant, even if there is a hot spring here it’s still too much of a waste, but think about spending so little money to enjoy this kind of treatment, it’s definitely overpriced, Roger couldn’t care less about his feelings at that moment, he picked up the water ladle on the aqueduct, and doused his whole body with hot water, and when it was soaked through, and all of the dirt was softened up, he then melted the bath beans and washed them from the head up.
Bath beans contain insecticidal ingredients, Roger can clearly see the lice mixed in the sewage, even he himself is disgusted.
But there is no way, after a month of traveling, and early spring cold, who dares to take a bath in the northern wilderness, can only endure.
Barely cleaned, Roger couldn’t wait to step into the bath, slightly hot water made his eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and then endured the hot to sit in, and so on the hot and spicy past, the comfort of the stiff tendons being soaked softly made him involuntarily grinned and grunted a few times.
“It’s so comfortable!”
“It’s good.”
“Yeah.”
Voices rang out from left to right, causing Roger to lurch in his movements, only to realize that he had a tall, strong man on one side, and a thick, stout dwarf on the other, except that the vapor was too thick to see what he looked like for a moment, but the body was familiar to him as well.
“Oak? Brass helmet?”
“Uh-huh.”
“It’s me.”
“I thought you guys had gone off to spy.” Roger raised an eyebrow and blushed a little, after all, he had agreed yesterday.
“We thought so too.” Copperhelm said calmly as he ruffled water into his beard, while Oak looked at him with an expressionless face.
“Wash up then?” Roger said with slight embarrassment as he then remembered that they were in the bath frankly, and he didn’t seem to be in a position to say that.
Meanwhile, a female assassin in the women’s bathroom next door was enjoying the recommended oil pushing service here, while also selecting a hair care and nail service, completely forgetting what she was supposed to do today.
Apparently as teammates, they still had a tacit understanding in certain aspects.
