Chapter 215 The Villain Lady Arrives 43
People began to whisper and talk, but they deliberately kept their voices low for fear of disturbing these three travelers who were obviously of extraordinary status.
Their eyes showed fear of the unknown, awe of their noble status, and more importantly, an indescribable curiosity.
"I heard that the Warcraft Forest has been in turmoil recently. Could they be in some danger?" A middle-aged man lowered his voice and said to his companions.
"Who knows, but looking at their appearance, they must have experienced a lot. We'd better be careful and not get into any trouble." The companion responded, and at the same time quietly took a few steps back to keep a distance from the others.
However, under this seemingly calm surface, undercurrents were surging. Many townspeople exchanged glances secretly and then hurried away, apparently to inform their families or the people behind them. The person they were waiting for finally arrived, and such news was undoubtedly a huge temptation for those families who were eager for power and wealth.
The third prince, Alice, and Tariq walked on the streets of the town. Although they were surrounded by strange looks and whispers, they seemed to be in another world and had no time to care about these things. In their hearts, at this moment, they only had worries about the unknown ahead and a desire to return home.
"Your Highness, we need to find a place to rest. If we continue like this, we may not be able to sustain the physical strength." Alice said softly to the third prince, with a barely perceptible hint of fatigue in her voice.
The third prince nodded and looked around for a suitable place to stay. At this moment, a small hotel that looked simple but clean and tidy caught his attention. He stopped and said to Alice and Tariq, "Let's go to that one. It looks pretty good."
The three of them walked into the hotel and were immediately greeted by a waiter with a professional smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with curiosity. "Welcome, three distinguished guests. Do you need a place to stay?"
"Yes, give us three rooms and prepare some hot water and food to be sent to the rooms." The third prince gave the order concisely and took out a gold coin from his arms as a deposit.
When the waiter saw this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He quickly took the gold coins, thanked him repeatedly, and hurried to make arrangements.
The three of them returned to their rooms, enjoying the long-lost peace and tranquility. The third prince sat on the bed, closed his eyes and rested, but his mind was full of thoughts. He recalled his experiences in the magic forest, as well as the company and support of Alice and Tariq, and a warm current surged in his heart.
Alice was bathing in the bathroom, the warm water washing over her tired body and taking away the haze in her heart. She closed her eyes, letting her thoughts drift away with the water, silently praying that the road ahead would be smoother.
Tariq stood in front of the window, gazing at the night view of the town outside. He had to become stronger to protect Alice and prevent her from getting hurt again.
He still can't let her go!
However, they did not realize that a storm carefully planned by Chi Meng was quietly approaching them.
As the news of their entry into Dawn Town spread, countless eyes began to stare at them, including greedy family forces and shadow forces that were secretly watching. They were all waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity that would allow them to seize the treasure from the Third Prince and his men, or completely destroy them.
On this night full of conspiracy and undercurrent, the Third Prince, Alice and Tariq were enjoying a rare peace in the hotel, unaware that danger had quietly approached. Their fate would also experience unprecedented tests and baptisms in this storm.
As the night deepened, the lights in the town gradually went out, leaving only a few inns with dim lights on. The third prince lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. His heart was filled with uncertainty about the future and worries about the current situation.
Just then, a hurried knock on the door broke the silence of the night.
The third prince sat up suddenly and looked towards the door vigilantly. Alice and Tariq were also awakened by the sudden sound, and quickly dressed and came to the third prince.
"Who?" the third prince asked in a deep voice, and at the same time signaled Alice and Tariq to prepare for defense.
A strange voice came from the other side of the door, with a hint of anxiety in the voice: "Your Highness, it's me. I'm a night watchman in town. There's an emergency that I need to report to you."
The Third Prince had some doubts when he heard this, but he still signaled Alice to go and open the door. The door slowly opened, and a night watchman in a gray cloak stood outside the door, his face full of tension and anxiety.
"Your Highness, please forgive me for disturbing you. But I have important news to tell you." The night watchman said in a low voice, while quickly glancing at Alice and Tariq in the room.
The Third Prince motioned him to continue. The Night Watchman took a deep breath and lowered his voice: "Your Highness, you may not know that some unidentified people have come to this town recently. They are asking around about your whereabouts and seem to be very interested in the treasure in your hands."
"Treasure?" The Third Prince was stunned when he heard this, and then realized what the Night Watchman was referring to. He sneered in his heart, thinking that those fake treasures were just a scam, but he didn't expect that there would still be people who were obsessed with it.
"Yes, Your Highness. I heard that there is a powerful force behind them, so you must be careful." The Night Watchman continued, his tone full of concern.
The Third Prince nodded and thanked the Night Watchman for his reminder. He knew that he had to be more cautious to avoid falling into the enemy's trap.
"Thank you for your reminder. We will be careful." said the third prince, handing the night watchman a gold coin as a reward.
The night watchman refused for a while, but finally accepted the gold coin and promised to keep an eye on the town. He turned and left, disappearing into the night.
Seeing this, Alice and Tariq also stepped forward to inquire about the situation. The third prince simply repeated the words of the night watchman, and the two frowned after listening.
"It seems that our whereabouts have been exposed." Alice said worriedly.
"Yes, we must leave here as soon as possible." Tariq added, "But before that, we must be fully prepared."
The three of them discussed it and decided to hold off for the time being and observe for a while before making any plans. They knew that any rash action now would only put them in a more dangerous situation.
In the next few days, the third prince, Alice and Tariq lived in fear in the hotel.
They remain vigilant at all times, fearing any disturbance.
At the same time, they were secretly observing the movements in the town, trying to find out the enemies hiding in the dark.
However, the enemies were everywhere like shadows. They appeared and disappeared, making it difficult for the Third Prince and others to grasp them.
What worries them even more is that as time goes by, the atmosphere in the town becomes more and more tense. People begin to talk frequently about the whereabouts of the three of them and the legend of the treasure, and those unidentified forces are also secretly making moves.
The Third Prince knew that they had to make a decision as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the enemy launched an attack, they would be in a passive position.
"We can't wait like this any longer." The Third Prince said in a deep voice, "We must leave here as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
Alice and Tariq both nodded in agreement. They knew that the situation was urgent and that they had to take action immediately.
"But how do we leave here?" Alice asked worriedly, "The enemies must have set up a trap, waiting for us to fall into it."
"That's right." Tariq added, "Also, we need to consider how to protect our own safety."
The Third Prince pondered for a moment, then said, "I have a plan. We can take advantage of the chaotic situation in the town, create a mess, and then take the opportunity to leave here."
Alice and Tariq's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they asked about the specific plan.
