Vanessa had inquired and found that the village, called Rhino Horn, was located on the fork in the road leading to the Sleeping Dragon City and the Holy Light City, and was larger than the average village, but its appearance was really difficult to match its name. As usual, the King's Road runs directly through the centre of the village, but there is an additional busy road that comes from the south. Most of the villages are places where markets and farmers gather, but this village, with several farms around it, is not enough to support its own village. As a result, Rhino Horn Village thrives primarily as a transportation hub, with convoys of merchants stopping here on their way to the mines of the Bablan Mountains or Tiger's Eye Spring, or to nearby villages. All the facilities in the village were built around the merchants and their convoys, coachmen, and porters who loaded and unloaded goods. The road to the south was mainly to facilitate the trade of seafood on the west coast, and there was a more direct route for caravans to Muguangzhai.

The village was full of empty sandy land strewn with the marks of wheels, some deserted, some with only a few suffocated guards. Each street was wide enough for horse-drawn carriages to pass through the guò, and there were stables and tethered posts along the streets, and the ground was covered with wheel marks. There was no grass, and the children played in the streets while dodging the curses of the wagons and coachmen. The village woman wrapped her head in a scarf, walked in a hurry, and was sometimes teased by the coachmen, who made Prince Matt blush just by hearing it, and some of them made Matt dumbfounded. There are no women talking to their neighbors through the fence. The earth-brown wooden houses are next to each other, separated only by narrow alleys and walls. No one has gone to the trouble of painting these wooden walls, they are bare and subject to wind and rain, and even a few have been lime-brushed, they have faded and faded into shape, and have probably not been renovated in years. The windows in the house were hung with heavy shutters, which were not opened for many years, so that the hinges had rusted. It was noisy too, with the sound of banging in the wrought iron yard, the shouting of the coachmen, the hoarse laughter coming from the inn, and everywhere there was noise.

In the evening, the village of Rhino Horn is quite lively, and the only tavern is noisy. Sure enough, there were already musical entertainers inside, and the zither drums they played were almost completely drowned out by the sound of hoarse laughter and drunken noise. The shop was crowded with poorly dressed men, who walked up and down the shop, waving beer glasses in their hands and taking advantage of the maids. The maids dodged with the usual stiff smiles on their faces, and they were no longer surprised. The noise almost toppled the roof, and the sour smell of alcohol and sweat was unpleasant. As for the merchants dressed in silk and velvet and lace, they hid upstairs in a special dining room, cut off from the smell of these sounds.

"Live, or live?" Matt asked the princess defiantly. After coming out of Sleeping Dragon City, he constantly fights against Vanessa, using various means to prevent her from finding Brant, because as soon as she sees Brant, Vanessa will wear the Forbidden Stone and restore her identity, so that his lover Solanda may be exposed and killed.

"Of course." Vanessa tossed the silver coin onto the counter. The only advantage of Solanda's appearance is that no one dares to mess with her wherever she goes. Solanda was tall and fierce-looking, and even if he didn't move, those two big hands with stubble and muscles were enough to deter people from leaning forward. "One premium room, plus two glasses of dark beer!"

The tavern keeper smiled and slipped the silver coins into his pocket, "You two are in the right place, our superior room here is notoriously neat and clean, and I guarantee you won't find a single flea." As he spoke, he winked mysteriously at Matt and smiled evilly.

"I think the shopkeeper misunderstood." As he ascended the stairs, Prince Matt said with embarrassment, "Moreover, you have paid enough for us to stay and eat here for a month." ”

"I just want him not to bother us," Vanessa also smiled evilly, "You know that we are two special identities, maybe the order is on the way to be distributed, and it's best that no one recognizes you at this time." The princess pointed to the group of people playing darts at the bottom of the stairs, and they used them as targets for the general order with the appearance of a general prisoner, and only those who shot the eyebrows had a beer.

A waitress with a wooden tray in her hand approached, smiling seductively at Matt. Vanessa tugged at her shoulder straps, tucked a silver coin into her bra, and asked, "Is there any update on the order?" We are bounty hunters. ”

The waitress looked at the two of them and shook her head, "I don't see it." But you're not like a bounty hunter," she continued to smirk at Matt, "but like a gentlemanly young nobleman," she struck the prince with her bulging breasts, and said with a smile, "My name is Tess, and you have nothing to do when you have time, anyway." ”

"Why?" Vanessa keenly caught Tess's words, "Why is there nothing to do after dark?" ”

"You're from out of town?" For the sake of the silver horn, the waitress finally noticed Vanessa, who was questioning, "Every year this month, no one dares to go out at night in Rhino Horn Village, because there will be ghosts on the road to catch people as stand-ins. ”

"What?" Vanessa seems to bite the root of her tongue, although she believes in God, she has never really seen a ghost, what is going on? She was about to ask when someone downstairs shouted for a drink, and Tess slipped away like a loach.

Back in the room, Vanessa began to undress.

"Hey!" Matt grabbed Vanessa's hand and yelled, "What are you doing!" Do you know who you are now? Wear it back for me! He lifted the sheet and threw it over Vanessa's body.

"Oh, of course," Vanessa looked at herself, and grinned at Matt, "didn't you want to see it for a long time, I can do it for you, if you don't come to mess with me." Then the princess changed into a nocturnal black garment, and tied her long hair back with a deer's tendon vine.

"You want to go out and find that ghost?" Matt came to his senses.

"It's not too stupid." Vanessa approvingly, "It's unusual, and I decided to check it out, maybe," she smiled mischievously, "and has a lot to do with my Brant?" ”

"I'll go too." Matt puffed out his cheeks and quickly stood up.

"Don't think," Vanessa said, holding down the prince, "you're only going to slow me down, and maybe help the ghost trap me." ”

"Good idea," the prince clapped his hands happily, "so I'll do it." ”
