Chapter 3324 Come Receive The Guests
"I can't believe Mr. Jablonski's daughter is sick. She was just fine a while back!" Hamish exclaimed with a sigh.
"You know Mr. Jablonski?" Misho asked.
Things would be a lot easier for them if Hamish was acquainted with Atlas as they could all stay over at the latter's residence for two days.
Alas, Hamish shook his head. "Of course not! I just happened to run into him a few times in the past, that's all. While I may not know the mayor, I do have friends here in Salinsburgh City, so you need not worry about our lodging," he replied as he led the group deeper into the city.
The mayor's residence was located in the center of the city. It had been renovated and looked a lot more luxurious compared to the somewhat shabby city gate.
The mayor had a thing for luxury, so he had a fancy mansion constructed in the center of Salinsburgh City.
On one side of the mayor's residence was a medium-sized courtyard that had somehow withstood the harsh weather fairly well.
Hamish then led the group straight into the courtyard.
However, Jared frowned slightly the moment they entered the courtyard.
Wait a minute... Why am I detecting celestial energy here? We're no longer in Mount Crimson, so how could there be celestial energy here? It's faint, but definitely noticeable!NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
"What's wrong, Master?" Feenix asked.
Jared shook his head. "It's nothing."
"Guests have arrived, Victor! Come receive them!" Hamish shouted the moment he walked through the door.
Had they not known any better, they would have assumed they were entering a brothel.
A hunchbacked elderly man with a walking stick in hand came out shortly after.
"You've certainly brought quite a lot of people over, Hamish! Unfortunately, you guys arrived a little late today, so you'll have to make do with the east wing," Victor Jablonski said.
Hamish froze when he heard that. "Huh? You have other guests here?"
Victor nodded in response.
"You're not short on cash or anything, so why would you start accepting guests?" Hamish asked in confusion.
"What are you talking about? They're
practically family to me, so I can't just turn them down! Lots of people from the five regions have been coming over asking for lodgings, ever since word got out about
Demonia Mountain. I knewt
be
coming over, so I reserved the east wing for you. Otherwise, it wouldn't even be available to you by now! You'd have to sleep on the street, then!" Victor said and went back into the house.
Hamish quickly led the group inside after hearing that.
After the group had chosen their respective rooms, Hamish sat down in the main hall and chatted with Victor.
The two were such close friends that they could talk just about anything.
"I heard Mr. Jablonski's daughter is sick. It sounds serious," Hamish said.
"It is. He has been seeking the help of alchemists for days, but none of them were of any use. My eldest niece killed them all on the spot. I know the word on the street is that my brother killed those alchemists, but that's not true."
Victor then glanced about to make sure no one was around before continuing softly, "My niece started having manic episodes lately for some reason. She would kill those alchemists whenever they failed to e her. My brother may be ruthless, but he's not so cruel that he would kill those alchemists. Because of those false rumors spreading like wildfire, however, no alchemists dared accept the task anymore. My brother is at a loss right now."
Hamish was a little surprised when he heard that.
Why does it sound as though Mr. Jablonski's daughter is suffering from the effects of the poison veil in Mount Crimson? While the poison, veil does cause its victims to lose their minds and become violent, its effects are temporary. They return to normal once the poison veil is gone, and there are no poison veils here in Salinsburgh City, so I can't really tell if it is the poison veil that's causing her manic episodes.
