After more than an hour, after spending more than ten gold coins and buying a horse that could only be regarded as an ordinary horse in Gray's eyes, Gray left Oka City and headed in the direction of Qingluo Town.

At noon, after eating some dry food with water and practicing the blood method, Gray continued on the road.

In the afternoon, when the sun was about to set, he was lucky enough to arrive in a city.

This is a slightly dilapidated city, with low walls, wooden gates with moth-eaten traces, and yawning veterans of the city gates, all showing the dilapidated appearance of this city.

Entering the city, the houses in the city are as old as Gray expected.

The walls are black, there are even holes in some places, and the roof tiles are covered with moss, and you can tell that the houses have not been renovated for a long time.

Beside the house, occasionally some of the city's inhabitants could be seen, dressed in patched clothes and trousers, looking curiously at Gray, a stranger who had come to this remote town.

Riding a horse, walking through the not-so-spacious streets of the city, Gray looked for the tavern.

After a few moments, he found the place he was looking for.

The house is two-storey, and it has been built for a long time, but because of the extremely diligent care, there is no moss on the roof tiles, and there are not many cobwebs around the house.

At the entrance, on a crooked wooden plaque, it reads "Old Cat Tavern".

"This young master, do you want to stay in a hotel or eat?"

Seeing Gray jump off his horse, a thin boy greeted him with a smile on his face.

As he spoke, his eyes looked Gray up and down, and the smile on his face became even more winning.

Judging by his experience, this is a rich young master.

"Both."

Gray nodded faintly and said.

"Feed my horses some fodder, and we'll count them later."

"Okay, young master, please!"

The thin boy took the reins of Gray's horse, and then made a gesture to Gray to invite inside, and he led Gray's horse to the stable.

Gray walked into the tavern, which, as expected, was not too big.

Directly inside the door, there was a counter, but there was no one inside.

There is a staircase next to it, and on the right-hand side, there are five tables and chairs.

At this time, two of the five tables and chairs were occupied.

On one of the sits four men dressed as leather-armored mercenaries, with some side dishes on the table, sipping ale.

In the other place sat two men and a woman, a middle-aged man, a young man, and a handsome young woman.

The three of them were also dressed as mercenaries in leather armor, young men and middle-aged men were drinking ale, and young women were dining, carrying a longbow on her back.

Gray's arrival immediately attracted the attention of the two tables, the two men and one woman looked at Gray and looked away, while the four men, with a look of concern in their eyes, looked at Gray for a while before looking away.

"This young master, what do you want?"

Soon after, the thin boy just now turned back.

"What do you have here?"

The boy didn't have a menu in his hand, I don't know if it was because he wasn't professional enough, or because the tavern was too small to have a menu at all.

"We have potato bread, pan-fried rocher, radish stew—"

"Give me four points of the best food in your restaurant."

Gray listened for a while, and then interrupted the other party, all of them were some things that he had never heard of, and it was better to let the other party recommend them for the sake of insurance.

"Okay, young master, the best thing in our restaurant is pan-fried ham, are you sure you want four servings?"

"Yes."

Gray nodded.

Shocked by the appetite of four people again, Gray opened a room and went up to the second floor, led by the thin boy.

"Pay!"

Sending Gray to the hotel room, the thin boy had just come down the stairs when he heard four men at the table, one of whom shouted.

"A total of 17 copper coins."

The thin boy hurriedly trotted over.

"The three of us are going to stay in a hotel, open two rooms, and stay for one night."

The man said.

"Five copper coins for one night in one room, for a total of twenty-seven copper coins."

Dry thin boy said.

Led by the thin boy, the four of them walked down the stairs to the second floor.

"Big brother, those four guys are not well-intentioned, I'm afraid it's the young man who is targeting......"

The young woman lowered her voice and frowned.

"It has nothing to do with us."

The young man shook his head slightly, interrupting the young woman's words.

"But—"

The young woman wanted to say more.

"Those four people are very strong, I once saw them when I took the mission, and these four people have a strength comparable to the next blood warrior."

The middle-aged man shook his head.

"If we do have a conflict with them, it will only be against us."

"All four of them have the strength of a blood warrior comparable to that of a lower rank?"

The young woman's eyes widened, and her face showed fear, and she never mentioned anything more about the past.

Among the three of them, only the middle-aged man's strength is comparable to that of the lower blood warrior, although her eldest brother is close to the strength of the lower blood warrior, but it is still a little short of the strength of the lower blood warrior.

As for herself, the gap between it and the lower blood warrior is even farther away, and the reason why she became a mercenary is because she is good at bows and arrows, and she is very good at tracking.

With this kind of strength, if there is a conflict with those four people, they will definitely suffer, and her current idea is how far to go as far as she wants.

As for the teenager, although she is sympathetic, there is no way, she will not clash with those four people in order to protect the teenager, right?

"But we've already booked a room before, what should I do?"

But she immediately remembered that they had already booked a room before, and even put their luggage in the room.

The middle-aged man frowned slightly and said.

"Those four guys are eyeing that teenager, they shouldn't care about us, but we'd better be careful tonight."

In the dead of night, the purple crescent moon in the sky shone into the corridor through the window in the corridor on the second floor of the hotel, dyeing the corridor a hazy purple.

Creak!

Two slight doors opened, and two heads poked out of each of the two adjacent rooms.

The two sides glanced at each other, then slowly walked out of the room, creeping towards the end of the hallway without making a sound.

At the end of the hallway, by the window, there was one of the best rooms in the entire hotel.

This room is rarely occupied, but today it is occupied, and that person is Gray.

When the four of them came to the room where Gray lived, they saw that there was no light coming through, and leaned against the door to listen to the room.

After confirming that there was no movement, one of them, in the moonlight, took out a knuckle-length incense-like object, lit it, and then flicked it through the air vent in the door.

This is a kind of drugged incense that they bought at a great price, and when burned, it emits a white smoke, but anyone who smells this white smoke will fall into a coma.

According to the pharmacist who sold the medicine, even a high-ranking blood warrior or even a fierce blood warrior could not resist it.

The only drawback is that this incense will have a faint fragrance in addition to white smoke, and it cannot be colorless and odorless.

However, in this case, it is obviously not affected, the room is dark, there must be no white smoke, as for the fragrance, since the people in the house are already asleep, the fragrance does not matter.

The three of them secretly calculated the time in their hearts, feeling that five minutes had passed, and the medicinal effect of the incense should have been exerted, and the four of them covered themselves with a black cloth smeared with special potion, took out a dagger, inserted it into the crack of the door, and gently pried it open, little by little, the wooden chop that fastened the door from the inside.

Smack!

The movements are very skillful, and obviously this is not the first time that this kind of thing has been done.

Soon, the wood was pried open.

The four of them gently pushed open the door and looked inside.

The dimly lit room, with only a little moonlight shining through the window, was a gray room, and the bed, table, wardrobe, etc., could only be seen as a vague appearance.
