Chapter 487 Clark Heinier
Joan moved and approached the frost giant, and looked up to listen to him arguing with the innkeeper standing in front of the fence on the second floor.
In fact, it was mainly the boss who was arguing, insisting that there were no vacant rooms in his store and that he could not entertain the frost giant, and asked him to leave as soon as possible. The frost giant showed a gentle attitude completely contrary to its national traditions, explaining in proficient human lingua franca that he had traveled all day, and now he was tired and hungry, and wanted to find a hotel to rest and eat something. However, from the street to the end of the street, all the shops refused him to enter, which made him feel very helpless.
"Sir, I'm rich, I'm really rich!" The frost giant shook the heavy purse in his hand, jingling and begging the innkeeper with a bitter face: "Good sir, please open a room for me, really. If there is no room, the firewood room is enough, get me some food and water, it would be even better if there is wine, and I promise to pay the bill in full."
"Wine? You still want to drink!" The hotel owner was even more annoyed, "You big man, do you think I don't know that frost giants are hopeless alcoholics? You giants, you fight and make trouble when you're drunk, really If it comes to that time, who will be able to live in it! Don’t say there are no vacancies, even if there are, I can’t rent them to you, I’m afraid you will tear down my hotel!”
"Hey! Sir, I am different from other frost giants. I dare to swear to Hel, the Goddess of the River Styx, that I will never have the habit of drinking too much, let alone fight and make trouble for no reason..." The strong man of the frost giant looked serious. Raise your hand and swear.
"Come on, I'm too lazy to listen to your nagging! Hurry up, big man, anyway, you frost giants are not afraid of the cold, just find a piece of grass to sleep overnight!" The hotel owner said angrily.
"I'm not afraid of the cold, but it's too shameful to sleep in the open in the town. It's not something a decent person can do!"
The frost giant's aggrieved face was in stark contrast to his strong and rough image. Seeing it in his eyes, Joan couldn't help laughing out loud.
The frost giant heard the laughter and looked down.
Knowing that she had lost her composure, Qiao An quickly covered her mouth, her cheeks flushed slightly.
The frost giant shrugged at him, as if trying to win his sympathy.
Joan did sympathize with what happened to him, but unfortunately there was nothing he could do. The innkeeper is indeed a bit unreasonable, but who made the frost giants have a bad reputation in human society?
"Evil" and "crazy and irritable" are like labels on the forehead of every frost giant. This is indeed a common prejudice of human beings against frost giants. In fact, there are some frost giants who are neither evil nor violent, but the hotel The boss had to consider the safety of most of the guests. If he softened his heart and took in the frost giant, the other guests might have to check out collectively. There was no other way.
"Big man! Don't dawdle here, if you don't leave, I will call the police!" The hotel owner issued an ultimatum angrily.
The frost giant sighed helplessly, turned around and walked outside the hotel door, stopped suddenly when passing by Joan, leaned over and asked him, "Little brother, are you here to stay too?"
Joan couldn't help taking two steps back, and nodded a little uneasily.
Such a giant like an iron tower, talking to him face to face, Qiao An was somewhat afraid.
"Hey, just now the owner of the hotel said that this store is full!" The Frost Giant deliberately raised his voice, and put his arm around Joan's shoulder: "Come with me, I know there is a kind-hearted family in this town, make sure Willing to provide us with board and lodging."
Joan didn't want to go with him, but the Frost Giant was too strong and enthusiastic, and dragged him out of the hotel gate almost half-forced.
The innkeeper stood in front of the fence on the second floor and saw this scene, staring with anger, but he couldn't ask Joan to stay.
After all, he had just persuaded the Frost Giant to leave under the pretext of not having any vacancies. If he changed his words and told Joan that there were actually vacancies, wouldn't it be clear that he was lying just now?
If he angered the frost giant, he would have no good fruit to eat.
So he knew that the big man was just simple and honest on the outside, but he was actually very shrewd, and deliberately disrupted his business as revenge, but he couldn't tell.
"Little brother, I'm very sorry, but I'm actually not angry with the hotel owner's mean attitude, and I don't want him to take your money."
After leaving the hotel gate, the frost giant told Joan the truth.
Qiao An couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, and said angrily: "The conflict between you and the hotel owner is none of my business, why do you have to drag me out."
"That's right, hehehe~"
The frost giant laughed shyly, raised his broad palm and rubbed his bare head.
"But having said that, I didn't lie to you just now. There is an old gentleman named Gordon Davis in this town. He is a decent man and has no prejudice against giants. He is an old acquaintance of mine. I will take you there Davis's, where we'll get a warm welcome, and it won't cost you a penny."
Joan sighed helplessly, wanted to refuse his invitation but didn't know how to say it, and he was somewhat afraid of angering the frost giant. Especially now that the distance between the two sides is within reach, any sober mage should try to avoid provoking the violent and willful frost giant, so as not to provoke a fat beating.
The frost giant took his silence as tacit consent, strode forward to lead the way, and said cheerfully: "My name is Clark Heinil, and I come from the Jotunheim Glacier. I have traveled all over the world and participated in rings all over the world. Fighting, fighting to earn prize money, and when there is no boxing competition, you will be a bodyguard or mercenary for a living, little brother, where are you from, and what do you call it?"
Qiao An suddenly realized that this frost giant was a professional boxer. No wonder the bridge of his nose was flat and his ears were shaped like cauliflower—these were all occupational diseases left over from years of fighting in the ring.
"My name is Joan Vida, I'm from Delin Town, and I plan to go to Midgard to study."
"It turns out that you are going to the north too. That's just right. Let's drop by. I can be your bodyguard for a few days for free and take you to Port of Princes to board the ship."
Clark made up his mind on his own.
Joan actually didn't want to go with him, and he didn't need to take a boat in Port of Princes, drifting on the sea, how could he fly as fast?
However, starting from Howth Town to Midgard, taking a boat to the sea via Prince Harbor is the most common way of travel. If he refuses to go with Clark, how can he explain his unique way of travel to him?
Qiao An didn't want to expose her identity as a mage, and she didn't know how to politely decline the other party's enthusiastic invitation. She just thought about her own thoughts and fell behind the frost giant unknowingly.
Clark stopped and patiently waited for him to catch up, and asked him with a smile if he was tired. Seeing Joan shaking his head, he thought he was trying to be brave, so he knelt down and patted himself on the shoulder, signaling to carry him on his back.
