Chapter 587 - The World After Two Years (2)
"Ely, looks like we"re lost again. Where are we going now? I"m afraid my magic energy will run out to control this Gravy Ark." Sylvia looked down, but they were still above the ocean.
"Uhm, I don"t have much magic energy either. Let"s head back to the Arctic mainland. I"m sure there are some inns or hotels there." Elysia heaved a subtle sigh.
"Ely, please don"t insist on a long journey without proper preparation. Come back to the North Pole and meditate all day so we can fly straight to Indonesia. The airport is no longer the solution because we have the Gravy Ark to save a lot of magic energy on the way." Elena reminded, and that was indeed what Elysia would do.
They then flew back to land full of snow and ice. When they came out of invisibility, they just glided through the snow, looking for a place to stay for a day.
After twenty minutes of travel, Elysia could see a row of half-ball buildings with several lights. The sky was still like twilight, but Elysia knew that the sun would be up soon because the night didn"t last long at the North Pole. They could finally rest and hide the Gravy Ark.
"Ely, I can see civilization there! It"s probably a village. Let"s stop by there and stay for the day." Sylvia tugged the hem of Elysia"s jacket while pointing her finger forward.
"En, let"s pay a visit there. It might be a unique inn, not a village." Elysia replied with a smile. They went straight there on foot because the Gravy Ark needed to be stowed back into the s.p.a.ce Bag.
Once there, Elysia and Sylvia felt like strangers in a land of unknowns. Elysia decided to ask one of the officers in the black coat. Still, she didn"t really understand what he was talking about.
"Uhm, can you speak English?" Elysia smiled awkwardly to ask that.
"Oh, of course. Welcome to the Northpole Igloos Hotel. Are you two tourists coming to stay? Where is your group?" The officer held his dog rein tightly because the little boy seemed to want to fight with the tourist"s white cat.
"We are the group. Yes, we want to stay here. May I know where I need to make a room reservation?" Elysia was relieved that her guess was correct. This was indeed a unique hotel.
"Just the two of you and a Norwegian cat? Very well, you can go to the building over there to make a reservation or a room reservation. Someone will guide you there." The officer pointed at a building, but he gasped when his dog suddenly jumped onto the cat in the girl"s arms.
"Meow." Vanessa swung her little hand to take down the impudent dog.
"Woof, bark!" The dog hopped around the guests.
"Hey, doggo, what"s wrong with you? Don"t disturb the guests, and come on patrol with me." The officer pulled his dog"s rein, and they walked away. However, he occasionally glanced back because those two girls looked so beautiful.
"What"s with that weird dog? Ahem, anyway, you can speak the local language, Ely? That"s surprising and very helpful. I thought that man was speaking the language of a G.o.ds." Sylvia scratched her head in confusion.
"I don"t know, maybe the dog wants to say hi to Vann or play with her? The language I speak is English, the universal language in this world. Let"s go." Elysia grabbed Sylvia"s arm, and they went to the hotel"s main building.
"Excuse me, we would like to book a hotel room for a day"s stay." Elysia went straight to the reception desk.
"Welcome to the Northpole Igloos Hotel. Sure, young miss. Is the one day you"re referring to is 24 hours?" The receptionist responded in a friendly manner.
"Yes, one day, 24 hours. Do you accept the payment using an international bank"s card?" Elysia nodded slightly.
"Yes, we accept all types of international payments too." The receptionist then guides the guest to complete the procedure to reserve the room.
When finished, a hotel employee guides guests to the building of the reserved rooms.
"Two girls who came to the north pole? Just the two of them and a Norwegian cat..." The receptionist shook her head because she didn"t know how the young girls got here with only two people.
"Woah... Ice wall and semi-circle. They stole the idea of my ice cave. We can also see the outside from here and vice versa. Ugh, where is the privacy here? Everyone can see what we"re doing then?" Sylvia went around the room curiously. This room was much more livable than her handmade ice cave, although it was the same principle.
"In that case, the curtains are provided to answer your question, Sylvi." Elysia smiled in amus.e.m.e.nt and pointed to some of the curtains in each gla.s.s window.
"Uoh! I failed to notice." Sylvia immediately closed all the curtains and jumped onto the bed.
"Hey, please take off your shoes and jacket, Sylvi. You spread a lot of snow in the room." Elysia squeezed her shoes and hung up her thick jacket.
She then went to sit on the sofa and made a hot tea for three people.
"Mkay~" Sylvia got up from the bed and did as she was asked. She then went to Elysia"s side to enjoy their time.
"Ely, can you tell us about this world of yours? What kind of beautiful place does this world have? How about its inhabitants? Are there some monsters here too? I want to travel around the world now, aah~" Sylvia shook her fists as she felt very excited.
"What"s with that moaning of yours? Here, hot tea for you." Elysia shook her head and handed her a cup of tea.
"Mm, thanks. Hum, I just have a problem with this world"s language then. Nee, Ely, after this, would you mind taking me on a tour? Or, shall we go to your hometown? Where did you previously live, and how did you come to to our world? Worlds travel?" Sylvia took a sip of the tea, but that couldn"t contain her enthusiasm for exploration. What Elysia told her was far from enough to satisfy her curiosity.
"This world is not as beautiful as you think, Sylvi. The world itself is a place full of wonders, but humans are the most terrible creatures here. You may be disappointed, but let me give you a little overview of the inhabitants of this world." Elysia then tells some things about Earth to accompany their peaceful time.
Vanessa listened with great interest, and Rhea too. They didn"t ask much, only occasionally, but that was just because they cared. Very different from Sylvia, who only felt curious and seemed to want to know everything about Elysia.
Unfortunately, Elysia couldn"t fulfill all of those curiosities. That day, Elysia, Sylvia, and Vanessa only ate instant food because Sylvia kept bugging Elysia to keep telling stories. In the end, they decided to meditate to recover their magic energy when the sun was already shining on the North Pole sky.
Meanwhile, a man in a white coat had just arrived at the Northpole Igloos Hotel. He raked his fingers through his silver hair and went straight to the main building, the reception desk. "Hey, Elsa. I heard that two top-notch beauties came here last night. Are they still here?"
"Oh, it"s you, Young Master Morten. What do you want to do with our guests?" Else frowned slightly, but she still answered with a professional smile on her face.
"Haha, I am the enforcer of justice on the side of the beauties. I heard they came without a guide? That is a serious matter in this northern snow and ice land. They can get lost and never return. I, Young Master Morten, feel it is a crime to let that happen to the innocent beauties. Thus, I decided to come say h.e.l.lo and be with them." Morten put his hands on his waist while puffing out his chest.
Elsa just rolled her eyes to hear this bulls.h.i.t from a playboy. Perhaps, all sentient beings were aware that this young master was willing to do anything to get the attention of the top beauties.
"They"re in igloo building number nine. You can"t bother them because they haven"t left their room at all. Maybe they"re tired? They even skipped breakfast here." Elsa shrugged her shoulders and gave the information. She just didn"t want to get into trouble by offending this young master.
"Is that so? Then, I"ll be postponing my exploration of the Z region. Iskald, let"s go say h.e.l.lo to the stunning beauties!" Morten turned around and went with his big bluish-white wolf.
"Oh G.o.d, I hope that young master doesn"t do anything strange to those two girls. Hopefully, they have a greater background and can teach him a very valuable lesson." Elsa spoke in a mosquito-like voice as she looked at the man and big wolf.
Fourteen hours pa.s.sed just like that. Elysia and Sylvia got up from their bed almost simultaneously. Vanessa was a minute late to get up. They had just gone through deep meditation in a non-stop sleeping position.
"Hmm, we"ve already spent more than half a day, but why is the sky still so much like late afternoon? The daytime here does last longer than the night, huh..." Sylvia looked up at the sky and checked the clock on the wall.
"!?" Elysia widened her eyes when she noticed a board on the wall near the living room.
"What"s the matter, Ely? You look really surprised?" Sylvia noticed the sudden change in her friend"s expression.
"No, it"s just that I didn"t know that this place had free internet access." Elysia took out her smartphone. She gets a signal here, and here also has the free internet network provided by the hotel. As expected of an expensive hotel, even if only for a day stay.
"Allow me to check a few things, Sylvi." Elysia immediately looks for any information about her past related to Ali and his family.. She had to know what happened after two years had pa.s.sed.
