Saying that, the nun walked around the crowd without saying a word, grabbed Suta and pulled her to the "card table" and said: "You come too! This casino needs two adults.

It’s better for the intellectual beauty to be in charge, we can’t go on like this!”

Coco on the other side also threw away the cards in his hand, pointed at Margaux and said with a blushing face: "What do you mean? Blame me if you lose?! What is an intellectual beauty? Am I not a beauty?!"

Margo ignored Suta's struggle and forced her to her side, and in turn said to Coco: "You? Let's wait until your hair grows all the way down! The vice-president's soldier lineup just now was obviously collecting

Magic troops, you are so lucky, a little ice spell has used up the spell-removing cards in your hand?! Suta, you are sitting here today, I promise not to take the defensive cards, so you must be good

Cooperate with me!"

Suta: "But...but I..."

Napa: "Hahaha! Stop talking nonsense, my lineup is complete! Which of you is going to attack me? Come on! Come on! Play magic in front of me? Even when playing cards, my magic is all yours

Millions of times that of humans! Hahaha! Isn’t my magician lineup powerful? It’s powerful! A perfect magician lineup!”

Cream: "Damn..."

Brad: "So, Magic Card·Magic Forbidden. You cannot use any magic-related items or magic attacks for two turns. Is this okay?"

The next moment, everyone around the card pile stopped arguing. Everyone and the cat stared blankly at the magic card that was suddenly played.

Also after just a few seconds, Napa immediately turned over, looking as if she was about to die. The pink meat ball continued to scratch on the floor unwillingly, and at the same time she didn't even say a word.

, just "meow, meow, meow" in anger and despair.

Others were cheering and cheering for this battle that turned defeat into victory.

The sudden burst of cheers in the carriage was too much. Even Cheese, who was sleeping on the other side, got up angrily. Cursing, he grabbed the chests of the two grown men, Brad and Cream, and exposed himself.

His fangs growled angrily to tell them to be quiet. Of course, his sudden anger also made the female members even happier, and they started making noise together.

Let's put it bluntly... Napa lost her own money when she lost in the card game. But seeing how excited the members were now, Ai Luo felt that the money was not too bad.

But after what Suta said just now, he couldn't help but press the hat on his head again, pinched his throat, and felt the sound of his voice.

Yes, I am already seventeen years old.

The voice of a seventeen-year-old boy is not what it should be...

However, the time is coming soon.

The last three months...only the last three months are left.

Playing cards along the way, the rumble of the carriage became the most peaceful sound in this simple journey.

As the sun gradually turns westward, Mermaid Song finally reached a resting point during today's trip. In the distance, you can see a small town appearing in front of you. If the route calculation is correct, it should be

Today’s final destination.

"Okay, okay, we are about to enter Xueyan Town. Everyone should tidy up, clean up the cards and things, and calculate the bets and other things. Don't look too busy when we get to the hotel.

.”

Ai Luo clapped his hands and asked everyone to start packing their things.

While the members were cleaning up, Ai Luo moved from the side door to the driver's seat in front of the coachman, and said with a smile: "Coachman, it's the same as the previous few days, just find a hotel for us to stay in.

.”

The carriage driver responded, but while agreeing, he also said: "President of the Mermaid Song, although it is inappropriate for me as an outsider to say such things, I treat it as taking care of my business, so I will give it to you."

Please give me some advice. If you still think that you can easily find a similar hotel in a small town like you did two days ago, then you are thinking too much."

Ai Luo was slightly startled, and the smile on his face couldn't help but paused for a moment: "How...how do you say this?"

The driver chuckled and said, "You can see for yourself."

Hearing what the coachman said, Ai Luo also turned his head and began to look around the Blood Swallow Town.

Indeed, this city is indeed a little different compared to the towns where we rested before.

This town seems to have little vitality now. There are not many shops on the streets, and there are not many pedestrians on the streets. Occasionally, I see a town citizen walking out of a nearby building, his face

The food was also full of food, and they looked like they were malnourished. When they saw the carriage approaching at a rapid speed, they immediately retreated into their houses, left the door ajar, and secretly looked over.

.

This made Ai Luo a little strange. He thought for a while and said, "Isn't it right? I came to this town more than two years ago. Shouldn't this town be like this?"

Just as he was talking, the carriage driver stopped the carriage at the door of a two-story shop with a small hotel sign hanging crookedly on the door, and said: "Then I will send it here, and I will go on the way next."

I won’t send you off, it’s too far. You can find other carriages in this town.”

Ai Luo nodded and asked his guild members to move all the things down, then paid the carriage driver to pull the carriage back from the original route. It didn't take long for the whole street to be empty.

However, there was no other movement among the members of Mermaid Song and the large and small bags.

Cheese flicked his top hat slightly, glanced at the building nearby, and happened to see a figure flashing through the window. He sneered and said, "It seems that this town is really...

It’s very exclusive.”

Ai Luo frowned and said: "This shouldn't be right? When I came here more than two years ago, it wasn't that tense here? Well... in short, everyone should be careful. This is not Pelican Town now, and it is not ours.

Within your sphere of influence, be more careful. After staying one night, hire a carriage and leave tomorrow."

After ordering everyone, Ai Luo raised his feet, pushed open the door of the hotel, and walked in.

The atmosphere inside the hotel is similar to the dead silence on the street outside. The huge hotel does not have any lighting, and the overall building looks very depressing, which means there is not much light at all.

Margo, who was behind, slightly shook the staff in her hand, and the head of the staff of light emitted light, illuminating the lobby of the hotel.

All I can say is... this place is really shabby. It seems that the small space has not been cleaned for a long time, and there are even some spider webs hanging on the top of the head. If it weren't for the If he posted a sign that said he was in business, Ai Luo might really think he had entered a haunted house.

"anyone there?"

Brad raised his head and shouted.

After a long time, a voice finally came from the back of the hotel. A man who looked a bit out of shape, about forty or fifty years old, staggered out of the side door and slowly came to the hotel. Stand behind the counter. The man raised his head and glanced at everyone present, then said: "Are you... staying in the hotel?"

Ai Luo frowned slightly. However, he did not speak. At this time, he should leave it to his subordinates.

Brad walked forward with a nonchalant expression and said, "Yes, we need three rooms, two triple rooms and one single room."

"Wait a minute, Brad, don't worry now."

Cream on the side stretched out his hand to stop the big man from making a reservation. He walked to the counter and said with a smile: "Boss, your hotel... seems a bit bad? Are there other hotels in your town? Let me see. Let’s see if we can find a cleaner one?”

The hotel owner's face did not show the pain that his business was about to disappear. Instead, he looked very cold and said listlessly: "It's cleaner... I don't know, one year... just one year." , I am almost the only hotel left in our town. If you don’t want to stay, that’s fine. Anyway, there are many empty houses in our town, so you can just find a place to stay.”

This answer made Ai Luo a little strange. He looked at the environment of the hotel again. Just when he wanted to speak, Coco ran upstairs, looked at it for a while, and then ran down immediately. , said to Ai Luo: "Brother President! The smell upstairs is so bad! It smells like mold. I don't want to live here anymore..."

Ai Luo breathed out, smiled at the little necromancer, and gave her a little comfort: "Just one night, let's make do with it."

With that said, Ai Luo turned to the boss and said: "We don't have to choose, just make do with it for one night. By the way, boss, can you help us reserve a carriage? We want to go to the capital and will set off tomorrow morning. .”

The innkeeper raised his head and glanced at Ai Luo and others. It seemed that it was only now that he finally saw clearly what these people in front of him looked like.

After seeing Mermaid Song, who was obviously a team of adventurers, the hotel owner rolled his eyes and said, "You... are going to the capital?"

Coco jumped down from the stairs and said happily: "Yes! Let's go to the capital! We Mermaid Song are going to participate in the guild championship battle!"

The hotel owner looked at the team in front of him again, his eyes seemed to be hesitating about something.

But after hesitating for a long time, the light in his eyes finally dimmed, and he said slowly: "Okay, the rooms on the second floor are all empty, you can choose yourselves. The accommodation fee, there are so many of you, only one per person." A copper coin. It may be difficult to get a carriage. Our town currently does not have a carriage specially designed to transport guests. I will help you later and ask my friend if an ox cart can pull you."

Ai Luo nodded slightly, and while Cream began to check in, the other members also carried all the luggage upstairs one by one.

Walking up to the second floor, Ai Luo finally understood what Coco meant by not being able to live there.

The floors on the second floor of the hotel are in tatters, and there are even holes in some places. The corridor is completely airtight, so there is a very pungent smell of rotten wood.

Ai Luo covered his nose and tried his best to tell himself that it was just a one-night stay and there was no need to be too particular.

After pushing open several doors, the terrible smell still permeated the air. Everyone endured the terrible smell and opened all the doors and windows, trying their best to ventilate. After a long time, the air on the second floor finally eased slightly.

“What is going on in this town?”

After arranging for her husband to lie down on a slightly shabby bed next to him, Suta looked a little nervous and asked.

Ai Luo glanced at her and said: "Don't ask, don't cause trouble. We are just sleeping here for one night and will leave early tomorrow morning. Don't worry about unnecessary things."

When Ailuo said this, Suta simply covered his mouth and did not dare to say anything more.

However, Coco, a curious baby, did not hold back just like that. She lay at the window and looked out at the quiet streets, then she retracted her head and said, "Brother President, I think there must be something big in this town."

The secret! It must be... it must be! There must be some kind of terrible force entrenched here, which is why it makes the lives of the people in this town so miserable!"

What a coincidence, Airl thought so too!

However, after thinking about it, the president still smiled very gently and said: "Okay, okay, let's not interfere with other people's affairs. The conditions tonight may be a little more difficult, but everyone should be patient.

As for dinner...it doesn’t look like there is dinner in this town, so let’s just eat some solid food and make do with it.”

After everyone had no objections, Ai Luo exhaled, pulled his luggage and walked to a nearby room that looked somewhat normal, opened the door, and walked in.

How long has it been since the quilt on the bed was turned?

……never mind.

Ai Luo put his luggage in the corner, tried to adjust his mentality, and sat on the edge of the bed.

The door was not closed, and Napa walked in slowly like an ordinary cat. After entering the door, her tail slightly hooked, and she opened the door again.
