Chapter 26: Castle Hill Town

When the three of Aix came to Qingshan Town, the first thing they saw was a war-torn outer wall, the wall was not high, only two meters, not to mention how strong it was. There is only half of the city gate left in the www.biquge.info of the pen, and the city wall is also a dog's tooth, which should have been burned down during the invasion of Noxus, and it has not been repaired yet. You can see through the damage of the city wall that most of the houses in the town have also collapsed, only the traces of repair in the distance, as for the near ones, it is estimated that no one lives in them, and the owner should have died if he either moved away.

The town, which was not very prosperous, was even more depressed at this time, and the three of Aix were not hindered from entering the town, because there was not even a single guard at the city gate.

"All this is due to the Noxian invasion?" Aix asked, sitting in the carriage and looking at the scenes on both sides of the street. The streets into the city were supposed to be the busiest streets in town, but at this time there were few shops open, and no one was on the streets.

"Hmm!" Carter just nodded, and it could be seen that the eldest young master's mood was very heavy at this time, and he didn't have a little bit of the pride they had when they first met.

"Don't think about anything, let's find a hotel to stay in as soon as possible, or we'll have to spend the night in this damn carriage again." Ax patted Carter on the shoulder, telling him to stop thinking about it.

Fortunately, although the town is not big, and many damages, but there is still a small inn opened, the owner of the inn is an old man, obviously not young, even one leg is not very neat, seeing the three of Ax come in, immediately greeted with a smile.

"Is the three of you staying or eating?" After the old man finished speaking, he coughed, making Ax worry about whether the old man had the strength to climb up the stairs.

"Give us three rooms, next to each other." Ax said to the boss, and didn't ask the old man to help with the luggage, and walked in with it.

The inn had obviously not been cleaned very carefully, and there was already a layer of dust on the table, which meant that there were no guests in the inn at all, and perhaps the three of them were the only guests in the small inn in the last few days.

"Boss, are you the only one who takes care of this hotel, and you don't even have a helper?" Aix asked as he followed the old man towards the guest room.

"No, it's all gone!" The old man sighed and said, "Now there are no people in this town except for some old people and people who are unwilling to leave. ”

Just as the three of them were about to enter their respective rooms, a big man carrying a basket with a bag of rice and some vegetables in the basket walked in, and shouted inside, "Uncle Karp, I have brought you food." ”

When the three of Ax heard the shout, they all looked back, and the big man also happened to see the three of Ax, and said with some surprise: "Uncle Karp, I didn't expect you to have a guest here, so let's do it, I still have some meat there, I'll send it to you." ”

"Big brother, isn't it very peaceful around here recently, we met a lot of travelers who were blocked from going back on the way here, we heard them say that there seems to be a block in this neighborhood, and we are not allowed to pass through here, a few of us are coming from a small road, can I ask you, what's going on?" Aix closed the door that had been opened, and instead of entering, he walked towards the big man.

Seeing this, Tina and Carter also walked back and stood beside Aix, waiting for the big man's answer.

Dahan put down the basket, glanced at the three of Aix, and said, "Outsiders? ”

"The two of them are my friends, and this time I invited them here as guests." Carter heard Dahan's words and immediately took a step forward to explain.

The big man glanced at Carter, and then seemed to be a little evasive, and then said with some evasion: "In that case, it is better for you to get out of here quickly, and besides, I warn you, don't wander around, it should be fine to stay in Uncle Karp's hotel, they won't come to the town to make trouble yet." ”

"They? What do you mean by ...... of them," Ax asked, confused.

"Don't ask, anyway, you will be fine if you stay here, wait until tomorrow and leave quickly!" After Dahan finished speaking, he helped the innkeeper put down the contents of the basket and left directly.

The three of Ax glanced at each other, and according to the big man's words, there was obviously something going on here, and it should be related to the "outsiders". However, the three of them did not immediately start to discuss, as if they had heard it and did not take it to heart, asked the Uncle Karp for some food, and went to their respective rooms.

After nightfall, the whole town was covered in black, not even a planet could be seen in the sky, and there was a quiet all around, which made the town, which was already not crowded with many people, even less popular.

In the small hotel where the three of Ax were staying, three figures suddenly appeared, looked around sneakily, and walked towards the hotel together.

"Let's split up, Tina and Carter, you two go to the garrison and be careful not to be discovered. I'll go to the mayor's quarters, and whatever I find, I'll be sure to come back before dawn, and meet here. Aix said in a low voice. And Tina and Carter glanced at each other, nodded and did not object, after all, the security department is responsible for maintaining law and order in the town, and it is more dangerous there.

After being separated from Tina and Carter, Aix walked alone towards the center of the town, where the mayor's residence and office were usually located. Sure enough, Aix was far away and saw a three-story building, all white and the only intact building in this town full of broken buildings, needless to say, it must have been repaired to keep it so intact.

Ax did not act rashly, but walked around the small building, and found that only the door of the small building was guarded by two guards, and there was no one else, at least not on the surface.

Aix turned to the side of the small building, looked left and right, and found that there was no one, so he climbed up the second floor along the wall, and when he tried to open the window, he found that each one was locked, which made Ax depressed for a while, and he couldn't wait to directly launch his skills to pass through, but unfortunately if he did that, he would definitely be discovered, and with his own skill proficiency and mastery, the energy fluctuations caused by it were like a light in the night, which was equivalent to directly telling everyone that someone had broken in.

Ax had no choice but to continue to climb towards the third floor, generally the second floor is where the mayor's office is, that is to say, the mayor's office is on this floor, and the third floor is generally the living room of the mayor and his family, there will be people there, and if you don't get it, you will be discovered.

Fortunately, the third floor, as the mayor's living room, was not so tightly guarded, and soon, Ax found a window that was not closed at all, Ax looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no one in the corridor, he turned over and entered inside, and then quickly stood against the wall, and waited for a while, and when he saw that no one found it, he began to explore inside.

This mayor's mansion is not too big, there are only a few rooms, but Aix didn't dare to open one to take a look, he could only stand by the door and listen, but most of them were silent, suddenly, Aix found that there was another room at this time with the lights on, and the light shone into the corridor through the crack in the door that was not closed tightly, so that Aix just turned the corner and found it.

Seeing this, Aix immediately crept over and stopped some distance from the door, for the sound of the room could already be heard.

There should be two people in the room, one should be the mayor of the town, and the other should be a spy who is obviously reporting to the mayor what he has found. Unfortunately, Aix seemed to be a little late in coming, and the conversation between the two was nearing the end, but the information in it still gave Ax some brief insight into what was happening in this town.

Just as Ax wanted to continue listening, a door behind him suddenly opened, and when Ax heard the door, he knew that it was not good, and immediately ran towards the window, and Ax moved like this, which immediately attracted the attention of the two people who were talking in the room. Just as Ax was about to turn the corner, he saw a figure rushing out of the room, still wearing a leather armor, and chased after Ax.

Ax didn't intend to fight the other party at all, just rushed to the window and jumped straight from the third floor. However, while he was still in mid-air, Ax activated his skill "Shadow of the Void".

The man chasing Ax glanced at the window, but he didn't see anyone, so he didn't jump out of the window, because he didn't want anyone else to know his true identity, after all, he was doing undercover.

After a while, there was another sound of footsteps, and when the man also came to the window, when he saw the man, he knew that he had not caught the other person, so he asked with some concern, "Do you know who it is?" ”

"I don't know, I've never seen it, maybe it's not from our town, or they invited it from out of town, but this possibility is very small, according to their character, they shouldn't invite people from outside."

"Someone outside? I heard that there are three strangers in the town, could it be them? ”

"Strangers? How could strangers come to this mayor's mansion in the middle of the night, did they have any intentions? Or has the matter been exposed, and is it someone sent from above to investigate? ”

"With this possibility, it seems that I need to visit those strangers myself tomorrow to see what they are really here for."

After the two finished speaking, they left directly. What they didn't know was that Ax hadn't fled far, more precisely, Aix's hiding place was at their feet, that is, on the second floor of this three-story building. There was no movement from above, but Aix did not come out, but waited until it was dark, then went around to a corner, opened a window, climbed out of it, and then immediately ran to the hotel where he was staying. You know, the mayor of the town said he was going to visit, and he had to tell Tina about it, so as not to show the flaws.
