I am the old, fiery-faced man from the senior department.

That night, the group rested around the campfire.

The foal, with its delicate skin and tender flesh, couldn't withstand the long journey and had already fallen asleep early.

During the day, he sat by the fire and chatted with Kal'tsit.

"This journey has been too smooth. Not to mention the spies from Ursus and the patrols from Kazimir, we haven't even encountered any of those vagrants or bandits."

While this reduced the trouble to a minimum, it also significantly increased the difficulty for them to replenish their water and food supplies. Drinking untreated water from the forest greatly increased the chances of getting sick.

"Ugh, I really want to take a shower."

He lamented during the day.

They haven't taken a bath since they left Syracuse, and he's become a filthy dragon cub.

"Hold on for a few more days, Your Highness."

Kal'tsit was the same, but she was already used to being covered in dust.

"Once you arrive in Gaul, there will be baths large enough for you to enjoy."

"Um……"

Bai Zhou stared blankly at the arm guard on his arm.

If only the Heavenly Fiend could evolve a cleaning function.

"Gu..."

Tian Sha controlled Bai Zhou's right hand and raised a middle finger at him.

This lousy daytime dog, not only have I not fed it for a while, but now it wants to be a dumping ground for waste!

"Just kidding, just kidding."

Bai Zhou chuckled and changed the subject.

If it weren't for the fact that there were mostly forests nearby, and that Attila was a little light bulb, Bai Zhou would have just manipulated the wind and clouds to bring rain and made do with what was available.

"Gaul..."

The mighty Gallic hordes surveyed the four directions with disdain.

Throughout his travels, Bai Zhan had seen many famous historical sites, fortified cities, and towering towers, but the cities of Gaul still managed to give him a jolt.

The architecture of the Yan Kingdom is grand in scale, imposing in style, beautiful in form, and dignified in appearance. The architectural complexes are neatly distributed throughout the city, magnificent yet not delicate, expansive yet not ostentatious, simple yet full of vitality. The architecture of the Yan Kingdom is a perfect embodiment of the spirit of the times.

And Gaul.

During the empire's prosperous period, how to better celebrate power, flaunt wealth, and commend achievements became an important task and the ultimate goal of Gallo-style architecture.

Magnificent triumphal arches, commemorative columns, and squares and temples named after "governors" sprang up like mushrooms after rain throughout Gaul.

Furthermore, as the empire's power grew, people's living standards improved significantly, and buildings used to enrich people's lives, such as theaters, arenas, and bathhouses, became increasingly grand and luxurious.

"Day. Aren't you going to find Dean?"

Upon entering the capital and stepping back into civilization, Attila surprisingly began to care about her subordinates.

"Let's ignore him for now and find a hotel to stay in."

During the day, he drove his cart along the street.

After wandering in the wilderness for several months, seeing this bustling metropolis again, surrounded by noisy crowds, made me feel somewhat uncomfortable during the day, as well as a bit dazed and nostalgic.

Following the road signs, Bai Zhou found a large hotel that looked quite famous.

"Thank you for your help, Kal'tsit."

He understood Gaulish, but it would be more convenient for a mature adult to handle the check-in than for him, who was still a teenager.

"Please wait a moment, Your Highness."

Kal'tsit walked to the front desk with the money she had exchanged in a town in Gaul on her way there.

During the day, he stood to one side waiting for her to return, taking the opportunity to look around at the hotel's decor.

Let's not even mention the hotel's interior decoration; the current trend in Gaul is all about lavish decor, with most of the decorations being various jewels. Whether it's tacky or not is another matter, but it's certainly quite pretentious.

The hotel is clean, simple, and bright, which is a prominent and standard feature.

Looking out, you can see bustling streets with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. However, this hotel itself is high-end; it has all the amenities you'd find outside. If you're there on business, you don't need to go out; you can simply order food.

"day……"

Attila, who was following behind him, tugged at his clothes.

"what happened?"

During the day, he looked in the direction she pointed.

A beautiful bird perched on a branch of a tree planted in the shop, chirping melodiously.

The little girl had never seen this kind of bird before and was extremely curious about it.

"It must be the store's mascot."

"Kal'tsit has bought the rooms, let's go."

Holding Attila's hand, they met with Kal'tsit during the day.

Kal'tsit bought a triple room, which has a double bed and a single bed. Presumably, the staff gave her this room because she mentioned she had a child with her.

"Bathhouse, bathhouse."

After settling in, Bai Zhou immediately began looking for the location of the bathhouse.

"Upstairs, Your Highness."

Kal'tsit was flipping through a book titled "Ten Things to Note When Staying in Gaul".

"The hotel's bathhouse is on the top floor."

"Oh! Then what are we waiting for! Let's go!"

Bai Zhou was very curious about what it was like to soak in those large baths that were popular in Gaul.

"Men's bath, women's bath, and... mixed bath?"

Bai Zhou paused for a moment when he saw the three different signs.

Is the Gallic culture really that...open and [crossed out] simple and honest?

"Mixed bathing is usually done by local Gauls, Your Highness. Would you like to try it?"

Although Kal'tsit's tone was one of recommendation, for some reason, Bai Zhou felt that if he agreed, Mon3tr would be the one to scrub his back.

Mixed bath? Doesn't exist.

"No, no, never mind, I'm still a child."

Growing up too fast is not a good thing either.

"Well then, I hope you enjoy yourself."

Kal'tsit led Attila toward the women's bath.

"..."

Bai Zhou glanced at the mixed-gender bath sign and then obediently went into the men's bath.

"Oh, you choose the cabinet yourself."

"Wow, there are toiletries in every cabinet!"

"Oh!!! This is! This is!"

Bai Zhou tossed the strange gelatinous object aside and suddenly thought that going to a mixed-gender bathhouse was a good option.

But since we're already here, it would be too much trouble to go out now.

During the day, lock the selected cabinet and take its key, then put it on your wrist.

His clothes were all mimicked by the Heavenly Fiend, so he didn't need to put them on or take them off.

Tian Sha shrunk its size and eventually became a bracelet that remained on Bai Zhou's right hand, together with the key.

"Wow! The giant public bath!"

When I entered the bathroom, there were only a few people inside.

Ignoring them during the day, he headed straight for his target: the large bathhouse in the center of the bathhouse.

The hot water soaked into my chest, and a comfortable feeling spread throughout my body, washing away all the fatigue and dust of a month of hard work.

An indescribable sense of joy and happiness.

Both gentlemen, Mr. and Mrs. Twenty-Six, have their strengths and weaknesses, making it difficult to choose between them. But I want them both.

"This is the bathhouse of Gaul."

"Phew...that feels so good..."

Leaning against the smooth ceramic tiles, Bai Zhou let out a heartfelt sigh of comfort.

"Besides, there are fewer people at this time of day, so you don't have to bother sharing a pool with a bunch of greasy old men."

I wonder how things are going with Kal'tsit.

They must be enjoying this rare tranquility.

The bath didn't take long. He washed away the dust and grime he had picked up on the road during the day, and then soaked comfortably for a while before leaving the bath.

But Bai Zhou didn't expect that he would be the last one to come out.

After leaving the bathhouse, Bai Zhou saw the two people who had already finished washing in the outermost central area.

"Your Highness?"

"It hasn't even been 45 minutes yet, are you done washing?"

A turquoise lynx, wearing a complimentary white bathrobe provided by the inn, is drying the foal's hair.

The lynx's bathrobe only reached above its knees, revealing its smooth calves and the fair, moist glow of its skin, washed clean of dust. A little further down, thanks to its wooden clogs, one could also glimpse the lynx's beautiful little feet.

His face, etched with the marks of time, remained calm and serene, but a hint of contentment rose in his eyes, which shared the same deep blue hue as his.
