Lu Faxi, who was seriously injured in his own home and couldn't move, was alive and kicking at this time, not at all like he had been injured, although Jesse was curious, but he was always silent and didn't ask a word.

Less than 300 kilometers south is York, the capital of the province of Camillo.

Higg, Lufarsy and Jesse were not in a hurry, and they were left with the old Orion's inheritance - more than thirty gold coins, although they wanted to make a difference in Yorktown, but without money it was really difficult for people to move an inch!

Soon after leaving the border town, it entered the plains. The province of Camillo is half mountainous, half plain, and faces the sea to the east and south. Although after more than 20 years of governance by the Duke of Arad, the basic status quo has not changed much, and the law and order are still chaotic and the people are fierce.

The border with the Forest Nation is not a heavily guarded border with the Forest Country, as the border with the Forest Country has been an alliance and peaceful relationship with the Forest Country for thousands of years. Therefore, the military force here is mainly based on the fifth theater of one of the six major theaters of Arad as a defensive force, this theater is different from other theaters, although there are many people, but the main responsibility is to suppress the forces of various religions and places, so the combat effectiveness is not stronger than other theaters of Aracea, which is also the reason why the marshal of the fifth theater Gattuso is not taken seriously, so that Gattuso has always been haunted.

Even though the religious environment is complex and there are many factions, the province of Camillo is far away from Catherine's safe place, and the flames of war have not burned here. Compared with other places, although the law and order are chaotic, there is not much turmoil. In the ten years since Aradd's rebellion, although he himself ascended the throne, it did not bring much benefit to his rear base camp, but because of the burden of war, the soldiers and civilians here suffered greatly.

Stoke City is nearly 200 kilometers away from Yorktown, it is the first big city that Higg and the three of them reached, and it is also the only way to get from the border town to Yorktown. He had spent more than nine months in the jungle since he came out of the Silent Forest, and he was already exhausted.

Although the money is not much, everyone is not opposed to staying in the biggest hotel in the city, taking a hot bath, eating a full meal, and getting a good night's sleep.

"Sorry, there is no place for accommodation and tipping!" Without raising his head, the innkeeper said to the three people who entered the door, "Please go to another house to stay at another house!" ”

This is a large hotel with accommodation and top-notch, and Higg clearly saw that there was not even a figure in the entire hotel hall, how could it be full?

With a bang, Higg slapped his right hand on the table at the front desk, and said angrily: "There is clearly no figure here, how can it be full?" Are you afraid that I won't give money? ”

The innkeeper was frightened by Higg's movements and roar, and hurriedly said: "Forgive me, guest officer, our store has someone at noon, and there is indeed no place!" ”

Higg was suspicious for a while, such a big hotel, at least fifty or sixty rooms, who would be so generous, so that there was not even a room left. With curiosity in his head, Higg and the others arranged accommodation at a smaller inn not far from the street, and Higg deliberately chose his room in a critical window position so that he could pay attention to what strange things were happening in the opposite hotel. Because the hotel where you stay does not provide meals, several people need to find another restaurant to eat.

The sky had gradually darkened completely, and although the big hotel opposite was brightly lit, he had been paying attention to Higg there, but he had not found anyone entering, which made Higg, who was already full of doubts, feel even more mysterious.

When he returned to his room, Higg opened the window ajar and asked someone to bring the hot water bucket to the bed, taking a bath while observing the movement on the other side.

It had been hours in the evening, and nothing had happened on the other side, which made the beleaguered Higg almost give up his curiosity.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves came from the dark streets, and although the horsemen deliberately let the horses move lightly, the sound of horses' hooves stepping on the bluestone slabs was also extremely harsh in the middle of the night.

Three carriages, all enclosed in carriages made of cyan fabric, were flanked by a dozen cavalrymen. The carriage slowly stopped in front of the inn opposite, and the innkeeper immediately went out to greet him, and all the cavalry dismounted, stood guard on both sides of the carriage, and five people walked down from the carriage, one person in the middle car, and two people in the front and rear cars. The five people who got out of the car, surrounded by guards, hurried into the hotel. The innkeeper was busy leading the other men to lead the horses to the backyard.

Seeing this, Higg, who was dozing off, patted his head to refresh himself. In such a hot weather, the carriage was completely closed, obviously not wanting people to find themselves. And this is obviously not a business travel, in Camillo, where the security is so poor, there are no special circumstances, and no business traveler is willing to rush into the city in the middle of the night. A dozen guards and five people in the car had already completed an inn with fifty or sixty rooms, and if they wanted to cover it, these people must have some secret that no one knows.

The group that entered the hotel did not have much tossing, and in an hour or so, all the lights were basically extinguished, and they were obviously tired after a day of work, and they all rested.

Higg blew out the candles, intending to get some sleep and find out in the dead of night when everyone was asleep.

……

The streets were silent in the middle of the night, and there was no sound. Covering his face with a black veil, Higg ghostly walked across the street opposite, around the back of the opposite inn, and quietly climbed over the wall into the backyard of the inn. The backyard of the inn was where the carriages were parked, as is the case in most inns, and Higg effortlessly hypnotized a dozen horses before flashing from the back kitchen into the front room.

Only half of the dozen or so guards rested, while some of the seven or eight guards roamed in the front hall, and a few stood guard at the door of a guest room on the second floor.

Higg was even more curious, what kind of big man would make such a careful arrangement? As everyone knows, this will arouse the curiosity of others even more, and you have to find out, at least this is the mentality of Higg himself.

It seems that the most mysterious place is in the heavily guarded guest room on the second floor, and it is not difficult to touch the door of that guest room in front of these guards. Higg, who lurked on the second floor, hypnotized several guards at the door, quietly opened the door of the guest room, flashed in, and was about to close the door casually, but only heard a loud shout from the house: "Who is it?" ”

Higg was already startled, and sent an ice ring forward, wanting to control his opponent immediately.

Higg didn't find the opponent, and the opponent probably didn't see his position clearly, but this loud shout had already woken up the guards downstairs and the hypnotized guest room door, so Higg was in big trouble.

In the darkness, the other party seemed to easily dissolve their ice ring, and then the lights came on, and the guards outside the door rushed in and fought with Hig.

The mysterious man in the house didn't make a move, but just asked sharply, "Who are you, and why did you come to spy on this seat?" ”

Where does Higg have time to answer? He already knew that his opponent was by no means an ordinary person, and those guards were all good at martial arts, so he needed to deal with these guards with all his might, and he also had to be distracted to guard against the sneak attack of the mysterious person, where would he have the extra energy to care about that person's questioning?

"Catch it alive!" The mysterious man just said lightly.

Higg didn't have the weapons he could take advantage of, and the room was small, although he had divine boots, it was difficult for him to fight with the other party in the room, so he could only fight hard with one move.

More and more guards poured in, including the guards who had fallen asleep in the guest room, and they were also alarmed, five or six people fought with Higg, and some of the others swept the formation, some blocked the escape route of Higg, and some guarded the surroundings, obviously well-trained and leaky!

Fortunately, the other party wanted a live mouth, so he didn't use the blade, even so, Higg's body was hit with a few punches and kicks, although it was not fatal, but it was also so painful that he almost fell apart, now don't say anything to snoop on the secret, Higg's heart, only the idea of how to escape.

"Outside, you still don't do it?" Higg shouted.

Several of the besieging guards were stunned, and Higg launched a huge chain of lightning to hit the guards besieging him, boom, and in an instant, the room was illuminated by the light of lightning as if it were day, and several guards, including Higg himself, were all struck by a huge lightning, but except for one of the guards who was burned to black coal, the others, including Higg, were only slightly injured.

Higg took advantage of the situation and retreated two parts, launched an instantaneous movement, and was about to shout, but only heard the mysterious man laugh and said: "Want to run? It's not that easy" Immediately, a dark green light emitted from the position of the mysterious man and hit Higg, Hig was covered in a spirit, and he didn't feel too much pain, but he felt that his movement was slowing down, compared to slowing down the magic skill, the effect of this light made Hig even more unbreakable, as if he was going to wrap himself in place, but he had already launched the teleportation technique, and he was in place, slowly disappearing.

"Huh?" The mystery man also seems surprised that Higg was able to escape in his own hands.

More than a dozen guards hurriedly rushed out, but only heard the mysterious man say: "Don't chase, don't make a big fuss, go back to your original position and continue to be vigilant!" He has been hit by the blighting technique of this seat, and in less than three days, he will turn into a dead wood! ”

"Yes, sir!" A dozen or so guards immediately stopped, saluted in place, and then turned back to their posts.

The inn was suddenly restored to its original state, as if nothing mysterious had ever happened.
