The sister hotels in the heart of Muxi City have undergone dozens of renovations and expansions since the city's founding, and have become a landmark building in the city.
What was originally a small shop with an area of just over 100 square meters and a duplex layout has now been expanded into a themed courtyard that integrates a leisure park, a large restaurant, and a high-rise hotel.
The Sisters Hotel boasts picturesque scenery, delicious food, and attentive service. However, its most distinctive feature is that all the staff members are exclusively female.
Karin Forman, the current manager of the Sisters Hotel, sat in the study on the hotel's top floor, sipping fruit tea as she reviewed the week's accounts.
Rubbing her sore eyes, Karin put down the ledger and turned to look at the scenery outside the window.
The laughter of children coming from the park brought a faint smile to her lips.
The door suddenly opened, and a woman in a pink shirt rubbed her stomach and exclaimed, "I'm so hungry!"
Without turning her head, Karin said directly, "Cosette, I've already asked the kitchen to reserve food for you. It will be served shortly."
Cosette, whose body was inhabited by the 'Tesla parasite,' complained as she twisted her neck and wrists: "These days have really worn me out. They make me go to the Navy every day to test new weapons!"
Karin said helplessly, "I told you not to mention those weapons experiments. Don't forget, someone repeatedly told you that those experiments were strictly confidential."
Cosette pouted and complained in a low voice, "It's not like I wanted to participate in any weapons tests..."
Before he finished speaking, another woman in blue carrying a food box entered the room.
Karin turned around and looked at the woman who walked in, asking, "Pamel, did Sister Rachel eat the food prepared at the restaurant?"
Palmer sat down next to Cosette, placed the food box on the table, opened the lid and said to Karin, "As usual, Sister Rachel only ate a little bit... She spends all her time in the library studying those ancient Teromon texts and doesn't have time to eat at all."
Karin leaned closer to the food box, glanced at the barely touched food, and frowned as she said, "She didn't eat much for breakfast either. This isn't good for her health... I'll have the kitchen prepare some bread and pastries that are easy to store for dinner."
Pamela nodded in agreement.
Cosette looked at Karin and suddenly asked, "Do you remember that time when we were chatting, Sister Rachel casually asked us if we would be willing to leave here and live in a new world if we had the chance? I thought she was joking, but if it were true, would you go?"
Karin was stunned: "Go to the new world to live?"
Cosette shook her head vigorously: "If what Sister Rachel said is true, then where is the new world she's referring to? Is it the eastern continent? Or the south?"
Pamela interjected at this moment, "I think Twilight City is pretty good right now. Life here is stable, resources are plentiful, and most importantly, Heaven and the Holy King are protecting us. Why should we abandon this place and go to a new world?"
"Holy King..."
Karin turned her head and looked out the window at the bright sunshine and beautiful scenery, and fell into deep thought for a moment.
Twenty kilometers north of Muxi City, on the mountainside of the Falling Star Mountains, stands a griffin breeding farm.
Above the snow-capped peaks, amidst the misty sky, several griffins carrying passengers traversed the mountains and finally landed slowly on the high platform of the breeding farm.
The orc Carol flipped off the griffin's back, stroking the bird's feathers as he pulled a silver coin from his pocket and tossed it to the tamer who was walking towards him.
Before the other party could express their gratitude, Carol had already climbed down the ladder to the ground and looked up at the platform on the other side.
Aldenan, who had dismounted from another griffin, grabbed the edge of the platform, pushed off with his legs, and nimbly jumped down.
The werewolf stretched his arms and neck and looked at the orc, saying, "I prefer the feeling of walking on the ground to that of a griffin."
Carroll dusted himself off and said irritably, "Stop complaining. The fastest route from Froststone to Duskwood is by flying with a griffin."
As Aldenan watched the two apprentices run past him, he glanced enviously at the Crusader insignia on his chest and shrugged. "Although I used to live in Twilight City, I now prefer staying in Froststone City. Everything there is much more 'orderly' than here. Besides, I can just ask the village for whatever I want without having to go through the trouble of collecting money."
Carroll strode towards the exit of the breeding farm and said in a deep voice, "Enough with the nonsense, we have important business to attend to. The ships transporting the war beasts will arrive at the port soon."
Avoiding a griffin cub the size of an ostrich playing nearby, Aldenan winked at Carol: "I understand your eagerness... Miss Barbara arrived at Muxi Port a while earlier..."
"It has nothing to do with her."
"It has nothing to do with her?"
Shut your stinking mouth!
Orcs and werewolves stepped out of the griffin farm and headed towards the distant city of Twilight City along the winding mountain road.
As Aldenan walked, he said seemingly casually, "I heard that the Holy King hasn't returned to the city for two weeks."
Carol didn't stop walking: "So what?"
Aldenan raised one eyebrow: "Three months ago, the Holy King entered the 'Eye of the Demon' in the ancient city of Gugu and brought out a large number of strange and wonderful war beasts from that huge sinkhole. Half a month ago, most of these war beasts were tamed by the Holy King and were prepared to be transported to every city for various purposes."
"After dealing with the war beasts, someone witnessed the Holy King leaving the temple and diving into the deep sea... Aren't you even a little curious about what the Holy King will bring to the Dragon Kingdom when he returns next time?"
Carol glanced at Aldenan: "This is not something you or I should be thinking about."
Aldenan gave a wry smile: "Sometimes, I really don't know what to say to you... We were clearly among the first soldiers of the Holy Crusade, but in terms of status, we're even lower than those North Islanders who just finished their conversion ceremony. Don't you want to try to fight for it? That would be beneficial for you and Miss Barbara..."
Carroll stopped and turned to look into Aldenan's eyes: "I've said it before, those things are not for you or me to speculate about. Doing your job as a member of the Crusaders is the most important task at hand."
"Now, the task assigned to the two of us by the shamanic gathering is to get to Muxi City as soon as possible to assist with the transportation of war beasts."
Aldenan sighed, "Alright, alright. I won't interfere anymore. As you said, let's get to Muxi Port as soon as possible to help unload the cargo."
