只见信使披著浴巾，正露著痴汉的笑容，左拥右抱著两名拥有健康小麦色肌肤还身著轻薄浴衣的异域少女，走进了奢华的房间。

那是村庄前不久刚收留的一对无家可归的异国姐妹。

很显然，信使刚洗完澡，准备检验村长给他安排的优渥待遇。

前世附庸权贵的遭遇，让赫洛习惯性地去同情底层。至於那周身元素稀薄的信使，则加剧了自己勒索他的想法。

这时，一个身材矮小的侍从跳到赫洛眼前。

他叫查尔，是旅店里最机灵勤快的服务生。他脸上带著该有的谦卑，以及对勇者大人强烈的膜拜。

“赫洛大人，您终於回来了。老板特意嘱咐我好生伺候您，这几天只要你有需要，都能隨意使唤我。”

他似乎察觉到赫洛对信使的恶意，低声下气地补充道：“大人，您消消气。是那对姐妹主动请缨的，为了村里的户口。”

“我没事，只是对这不公的世界无奈。”赫洛脸上露出和蔼的笑容，从钱袋里掏出一大把远超常规小费的银幣，塞进侍从手里，“辛苦了，这么晚还在等我。”

赫洛不仅是在释放善意，还是在犒劳过去当童工的自己。

查尔第一次收到这么多小费，还是自己的偶像赐予的，他的眼睛愈发闪亮，喜色溢於言表，对赫洛的崇拜远超他人。

“大人，太谢谢您了！我將永远追隨您！”

赫洛赶紧搀扶住快要跪下去的查尔，“別激动，先带我回房间，再为我准备好洗澡水。”

查尔连连点头，一路端茶倒水带领赫洛。

进入房间，查尔熟练地放出热水，將芯树的瓣和优质牛奶倒入浴缸。

隨后將一杯清茶端至赫洛面前，“对了大人，公爵大人让我给您带话。他说您最迟一周后就得动身前往帝都，一个月后教会將对勇者进行评定和考核。而大人他会，呃，监督並祝福您直至启程。”

［自己拖延七天，那头猪就能公款吃喝嫖赌七天。真会算计。]

赫洛压下心声，“我知道了，谢谢你。”

他为查尔倒了一杯茶，“你去休息吧，有事我会摇铃的。”

查尔从未想过有客人会替侍从服务，他毕恭毕敬地接过茶杯，一边对赫洛叩首致谢一边退出了房间。

房间寧静下来，此刻留给赫洛的只有舒適，可他却无心安逸。

他站在落地窗前，眺望著光彩的埃忒耳莉婭的雕刻身躯。咒印依旧发散著猩红光晕。

一番挣扎抉择后，他决定还是依靠村长，看看他女婿的道具店涉不涉及灰產。

他快速沐浴更衣，融入柔软的鹅绒床中。此刻的愜意与前世成为明星后的待遇別无二致。

他很快入睡，进入异世界的第一晚梦乡。

梦中的他已经在全国巡游，就连国王和教皇都得对他顶礼膜拜。

拋撒的鲜和彩带铺成一条星光大道，他踩著绵密的“红毯”享受两侧粉丝的欢颂。

欢颂声杂乱无序，他始终听不清。但他没有在意，一路高昂地前进。

但越是前进，心中的感觉越是不安。他感到粉丝的眼神由灼热变得癲狂，浓烈的敬意反常得让他如鯁在喉。

欢呼的乐章开始规律，他终於听清那些高声的颂词：

【伟大神主，吾等用血肉迎接您的到来！】

【伟大神主，吾等用灵魂迎接您的新生！】

【吾等神主——重塑凡间的创造之神——忒克诺斯！】

“！”

赫洛捂著心口喘著粗气。他从梦中惊醒，自己只睡了四个小时。

慵懒的晨光撒在身上，试图缓解刚刚的噩梦。

侍从查尔一直守候在门外，他听见房间內奇怪的动静，轻轻叩响了房门：“大人，您还好吗？”

“我没事，你进来吧，帮我准备洗漱用品。”

赫洛还没从噩梦中走出，他只是靠演技显得自己没那么难堪。

查尔有些心慌，他谨慎地推进餐车，將一杯温水送到赫洛面前。

他还带来了一个消息，“勇者大人，礼堂有个奇怪的人要找您。”
