Three hours. San Francisco, California, USA.

Two Land Rover Defenders drove down Dock Avenue on the seaside towards Chinatown. Long Yun looked through the car window, stunned at the night scene outside the car, in the distance, the San Francisco Bridge spanned the sea, and the lights on the steel beams and pillars were shining, like a fire dragon across the two shores.

"Ahh I've finally come across a pleasure mission, and this time I don't have to go to the damn rainforests or the barren lands of Afghanistan. Hayabusa sat in the back seat, looking very excited, holding a brochure about the hotel.

Fan Jian sat next to him and glanced at the brochure in Falcon's hand, on which the name of the hotel was written in English - the-fairmont-hotel, he was different from Falcon, and there was no trace of excitement on his face.

"Looks like you're happy." Fan Jian looked at the falcon like an alien creature.

"Five-star hotel! Do you know the history of Fairmont hotels? Their restaurant is famous for its Thai maitai cocktails. It was here that Tony Bennett first sang 'I-Left-My-Heart-in--San-Francesco' in 1961, which is now the city anthem of San Francisco. ”

"So what?" Fan Jian still had a disapproving expression.

"You've been here?" The falcon touched the wall and suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, you seem to have been here before, and you know this place very well." Haven't you always stayed in the Taoist temples in China and cultivated? ”

"Oh......" Fan Jian straightened up, his face was a little unnatural, and soon returned to normal, "If you are a descendant of a dwarf, then you won't know about the Fairmont Hotel, at least you'll have heard of it." This is the location of the secret union of gnome alchemy, and it is also the largest underground trading market in the world, if you talk about fame, it can be on a par with the black market in the dark dungeon, the Fairmont Hotel is only a five-star hotel in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of every person descended from the secret race, it is a very strange place, with its own set of rules, you will know when you enter, it is a holy place for dwarves. ”

"I've heard this, in that hotel, everything can only be talked about money, it is a pure business transaction place, and it is not allowed to bring personal grudges into the hotel, let alone fight and kill people there, otherwise you will be hunted down by the Dwarf Alchemy Guild." Falcon said: "It's cold to think about it, being cursed by those grandmaster-level dwarf alchemy masters is really worse than death." ”

"It's a drunken place, only you have the money, there is basically nothing you can't buy there, weapons, antiquities, intelligence, and even someone has issued a bounty hunt there, but all the battles can only take place outside the hotel." Fan Jian paused and said: "Moreover, everything valuable there is not something that ordinary money can buy, in the real transaction, they do not accept any mundane coins, whether you are diamonds or gold, they only accept Andvali gold coins, only this kind of money, and the Alchemy Guild will take a 20% commission for every transaction." ”

"It's okay, the doctor brought a lot of gold coins this time, and the financial resources of Tianmu Company are still quite strong."

The two of you said a word, and soon the car arrived outside the gate of the Fairmont Hotel, and the doorman stepped forward to open the car door, and everyone got out of the car.

It is an old building in the style of the 18th century, with an off-white granite façade and a porch with flags of various countries, showing the style of an international five-star hotel.

The tip was given to the doorman, who immediately became enthusiastic and guided the person all the way to the lobby service desk.

The blonde waitress asked enthusiastically, "Have you booked a room for a few gentlemen?" ”

"It's set, from the Z floor." Finch said lightly.

The waiter smiled, his expression immediately became much more respectful, and pressed a button on the long table. Soon, from the door behind the service desk, a guy in a straight suit flashed out, not tall, estimated to be only 1.6 meters tall, which is extremely rare among Westerners.

His leather shoes were shiny and could illuminate people's faces, the small bow around his neck was meticulously neat, there were two mustaches above his lips, his hair was treated with hair wax, and he lay down on his scalp properly, shining golden in the light of the lobby, Long Yun's first feeling was that even if it was an ant, he would undoubtedly fall down if he climbed up.

"Ladies and gentlemen! My name is Hagens, and I'm happy to be there for you, so please come with me. He bowed, almost ninety degrees, and made a gesture of his hand to the right.

Then snapped his fingers in the air, and several waiters appeared around everyone without warning, took all the salutes in the hands of the doorman, and under the leadership of the little man, they surrounded Finch and the others like greeting the leaders of the country, and the service was extremely thoughtful.

Hagens chatters along the way, introducing Fairmont hotels to upscale amenities, including renowned restaurants, spa services and hormone-pumping high-end bars.

After passing through the long corridor and seemingly having left the main building, Hagens led the group through the green and gardens outside, stopping in front of a small five-story building.

This building is not the same as the main building of the Fairmont Hotel just now, from the outside, the five-story building itself is very ordinary, and the appearance looks a little gray, although it is not dilapidated, but it is not like the exterior wall of the gate hotel has been painted spotlessly, and you can smell the smell of a high-end hotel at a glance.

"What kind of place is this!?" Hayabusa didn't expect to come to such a ghost place after walking a long way, and he was immediately disappointed.

"The Fairmont Hotel." Hagens affirmed, "This is the Fairmont Hotel." ”

"If I could, I'd like to go back to the main building......" Hayabusa muttered, glancing at Finch quietly.

Finch smiled and followed Hagens into the old building.

Hayabusa sighed softly and said dejectedly: "I thought I could enjoy it, but I didn't expect to live in a broken hotel......"

He compares it to a "hotel" because it does look like a hotel. However, this idea quickly dissipated, and upon entering the gate, everyone entered an old-fashioned revolving door, but this revolving door was not made of clear glass, but was separated by pieces of shiny steel, and a maximum of two people could enter at a time.

When Hayabusa appeared in the lobby of this building, his mouth instantly turned into an O-shape, and he couldn't close it at all, and his jaw almost shattered on the ground.

It's not the same as what you see from the outside, the lobby is full of gold, the walls are covered with oil paintings of various styles, every part of the wall is not left empty, all are decorated with carvings and paintings, and the most surprising thing is that this lobby looks the size of half a football field! It's not something you can get in a five-story building!

"This ......" Hayabusa's eyes almost bulged out of its sockets, and he swallowed, "This place is very weird! ”

"It's not weird at all." "This is the brainchild of the gnomes, and as the headquarters of the Alchemy Guild, every place in the Fairmont Hotel is a perfect combination of alchemy technology and modern science, and it's just a compressed space," Hagens said. ”

Long Yun suddenly remembered the situation in the South African CMC company, that small office building, there were more than 100 floors, I am afraid that the same is true here.

"We use a combination of alchemy and modern technology to distort and compress the space here, and when you enter the revolving door just now, you are actually already moving to another dimension, which is the real Fairmont Hotel, in our circle, this place has another name, called the Forbidden Hotel, and the five-star hotel outside is just a disguise. Everyone, please come here and you will feel at home. ”
