No matter how strong the race is, there will be a day of decline and decline, just like the blood spirit empire back then.

There is probably still some way to go to the Principality of Referno, because it has been delayed for a long time, it is probably not realistic to reach the gate before dark.

Moreover, Ji Bai is not sure that he can enter the city. Although there is an acquaintance in the city that he is familiar with, he does not expect her to help him. Now the disaster is approaching, and even the imperial city has issued a wanted order against him. , The other party's first reaction when seeing him was not to ask the guards to arrest him, he was about to burn incense for blessing.

The horseshoe flew in, and soon he saw the towering walls of the border town of Lefno.

After all, it is a powerful Principality. The wall material is made of glass stone. The pure white wall seems to be frequently maintained and wiped away. It can be seen clearly even at night with low visibility.

The guards on the city wall were holding torches. As one of the several powerful principalities, the guards were absolutely passable. Compared to the gang of scattered soldiers in the southern countries, I don’t know how many times they were stronger.

To Ji Bai’s surprise, his forged identity, a knight on the road, did not arouse the suspicion of the guards. Ji Bai was a little surprised. He had been refused entry into the city by several small fiefs for "identity problems" and other reasons. To be honest, he didn't hold much hope or said that these little lords did not intend to let any suspicious people into the city in order to protect themselves. This armor almost put the label "I am a suspicious person" on his head.

Ji Bai, who led the horse into the city, wondered, but he didn't see the color of the two guards outside the door calmly faking each other.

"Oh, there's another traveler here, but it's really rare. The sky is gone, my husband, do you want to stay in the shop?"

"Huh?" Ji Bai's eyes, who was lost in thought, were attracted by the innkeeper who passed by in front of the store.

"Mr. Traveler, don’t hurry. You may not be able to find another one after you pass this store. There is only one store in this area. You may have to go for a long time to find the next one, and the sky is already here. It's too late Ji Bai looked at the sky: "It seems that it does bother you, is there still room for your shop?" ’

There is only one shop in this area, and it hasn't been full of customers. Isn't it weird?

Chapter 44 ~ You are waiting!

Isn't it strange that there is only one hotel in a radius of tens of miles, but it is not full?

"Guest, should you come back to the Duchy of Lefno for the first time?" The boss is dressed as a wealthy commoner, and his clothes are made of fine linen fur and rich in colors.

The coat of arms of the Scarlet Empire has strict class specifications. Common people are not allowed to wear clothes made of high-quality materials such as silk and carved satin, which are exclusive to the nobles and the royal family, and no amount of money will work.

In addition, there are specific color rules. Wear black or white robe on the street and nobody cares about you, but if you wear a black and white robe, there will probably be a group of officers and soldiers coming over to encircle you soon.

The nobles regarded this behavior as an overstepping of the common people, a provocation to the aristocratic class, and would never tolerate it at all.

Ji Bai nodded. If you count the time, it has been two years since the last visit to the Principality of Leferno. Compared to the local snakes, he is indeed an outsider who doesn't understand folk customs.

"Then it's normal, sir, you didn't find anything unusual on your way to the Duchy of Referno?" The boss sighed, and after looking around vigilantly, he pointed to the sky and whispered. "This day, it seems like it's going to rain. Ji Bai glanced at the night sky. The stars are shining, and the black curtain is dotted with invisible ends. The moon is hanging high in the sky without any cover. Tomorrow is probably a clear day. The rain obviously meant something else.

"Recently, the outside of the city is not peaceful. It is said, ah, but it is said that the civil turmoil in other principalities is very serious. The people are suffering from war and displacement. It is a luxury to live." The boss's words are full of complexities. "I don’t know if it’s true or false. If it’s true, I also hope it’s false. It’s a rumor." If it’s true, then this country may not be peaceful anymore. It is impossible to dream of peace in a corner. Yes, the war will burn to Lai sooner or later...

"Sir, you don’t look like a refugee or a refugee. I don’t even know the armor on you, but I know it’s not easy. When this country is about to fall apart, you are here again. What are you doing here?" The boss's gaze became deep at that moment, but it seemed like an illusion and disappeared without a trace in the next moment.

"It's just a passing traveler." Ji Bai was silent for a moment.

"Okay, maybe that's the case. It's an old man. I think too much. Or, it's a husband. You don't want to tell me. But no matter what the sheep is, I'm sorry. As an innkeeper, I seem to talk too much. Please come in. Mr. Bar, it’s getting late. If you miss this store, you might have to use the sky as the bed.

Ji Bai didn't hesitate, and followed the boss into this shop with large specifications.

The hotel is divided into three floors. In addition to the lobby reception area, it also includes some entertainment venues, such as pubs, card rooms, and the like. The second and third floors are probably where you stay, and there is also a backyard. "Mu'. The overall scale of this area, even if the per capita is higher than the average value of the Scarlet Empire, Leforno can be regarded as a wealthy person.

The hall was bustling with hustle and bustle. There were many entertainment venues, so they didn't deliberately limit their volume.

Ji Bai is not a person who likes to have fun. On the contrary, he has some small prejudices against this kind of feasting place, while Bai Ji likes to be alone in a peaceful environment.

This noisy environment made him feel a little uncomfortable. After the front desk paid the money, he got the room key and went upstairs.

"Sir, if you have any needs, you can ring the curse bell on the bedside table. Our staff will come to serve you, order food or have some other needs, we will try our best to meet." The receptionist added very intimately.

"Understood." Ji Bai said without looking back.

The key was easily inserted into the keyhole, and a crisp sound was heard from the turning of the keyhole, and the heavy wooden door bordered with colored silk was pushed open.

The magic lamp that the curse can supply lights up and fills the entire room. The room is small, but it is cleaned very clean. The decoration of the house is also very exquisite. The furniture is wiped just like new, and the wood used gives off a kind of carelessness. The fragrance that can't be noticed between.

The first-class hotel is a price that ordinary civilians cannot accept. Since getting rid of poverty, Ji Bai's concept of money has become vague. He just throws out a few gold coins and lets others find change at will. This kind of lavish spending is more There was less and less time, so that he had forgotten that he was also a poor proletariat who worked all day long for three meals.

I subconsciously wanted to throw the things I was carrying on the bed, and then I realized that I didn't have any luggage...

Open the floor-to-ceiling windows, the sky is shining, and the only spot of light in a black curtain seems to be guiding the pedestrians on the ground to go home, but some people have lost their homes forever.

The quiet night in the Duchy of Referno is the most unobstructed. There are still two or three pedestrians on the street. The large and small houses are lit by candlelight, and a brightly lit night echoes the stars in the sky.

Hard-won things are often cherished, and low-handed things are often ignored. The era of war is too far away. War is not far away from any place. Cherish this short-lived peace and quiet, at least for now. sleep tight.

"Crack." The sound of the door shaft turning.

"Sir, your meal."

Ji Bai slowly turned around, and at some point there was a little girl behind her who was less than her chest, and she was so close to her position that she was about to stick it on her body, Yuan Zhi "I remember I didn't Order food." Glancing at the opened door, Ji Bai clearly remembered that he had closed the door properly.

Could it be that it was easily pushed away because it was not locked?

The girl is holding a dinner plate in one hand, with drinks and some food on it.

"These are the drinks and supper presented by our shop... sir?" Seeing that Ji Bai didn't respond, the girl was puzzled.

A Peugeot cute little loli with her hair tied into a side ponytail, wearing a cute short dress with suspenders, and a pair of perfectly proportioned long legs with attractive black over-the-knee socks.

"Yeah." Ji Bai left the balcony calmly, getting rid of the awkward distance. "Thank you, I took it with kindness, but I don't like drinking, and it's not good to eat at night."

"Mister really doesn't plan to dine?"

"Well, I'm not hungry."

"Mr. Isn't he hungry?... Then, since Mr. does not have this yaxing, do you want someone to feed him in person~?" The words became charming and full of temptation, and the weak and boneless wrist climbed up to Ji from behind. White waist.

Ji Bai turned around, and the gaze in the seam of his helmet silently watched the girl who secretly gave him a look in front of him.

Seeing that Ji Bai didn't move, the other party smiled and put his hands around Ji Bai's waist, and put his head on the plate armor, and said softly, "I can hear it, I can hear the faster heartbeat of Mr. Oh, I can feel it. The blazing heat under this armor, then, can the husband feel the heartbeat of others?"

The girl raised her head and looked at Ji Bai affectionately, her eyes seemed to be occupied by love.

...The armored man still didn't speak.

"Come on, sir, let someone feed you food and drink? Well, I don't think the drink and food are too cold, and people can help you warm it up~" The girl licked her lips, meaning it was self-evident.

"Then, sir is thinking... the speech was interrupted, and Ji Bai's hand fell on the girl's head and rubbed it.

"The place you posted is in the lower abdomen, so I can't feel my heartbeat.

"It's both throwing arms and hugs and verbal provocations. Desperately showing off these pleasures. I can see that you are working hard, but you really can't poke the G point, but almost hit my smile... next time you show off. Zise remembers to come back longer, the location is not correct, and she said seriously that she felt the temperature and heartbeat. The facts have proved that the hardware facilities cannot be compensated by technology." Ji Bai sighed, shook his head and comforted.

These words were like a contingent of guns, hitting the girl's head mercilessly, and he could even see the series of red minus signs popping up on the girl's head.

Are the shortcomings of attacking people a bit too much? Maybe people care about this very much.

"Ha, ha...Ji Bai obviously saw the corners of the girl's mouth twitching very stiffly, and then smiled back on her face. "Mr. Xian can really laugh. It seems that Mr. is really not very hungry, so the girl is upset. With her legs wrapped in black silk, she sits on the edge of the bed in a deliberately seductive posture, with her cheek B resting on her little jade-like hands, and her smiling eyes are full of all kinds of teasing.
