After two days of walking on the avenue, Chen Kai and his friends finally arrived at Hugava. Looking at this city that was more dilapidated than Hugodi, Chen Kai finally understood why the Hugava people lost in every war between the two Hus. As the only main city of Hugava city-state, it was no wonder that there were such bandits and robbers in the entire Hugava area.

The dilapidated Hugawa does not look like a main city of Tripoles. The gray walls are covered with many moss, and green weeds grow tenaciously in the gaps between the walls and bricks. At the same time, the city walls are extremely low. In Chen Kai's view, Hugawa's walls are not even half as tall as Hugodi.

Of course, Hugava was not poor in the past. At least before losing the southern trade route, Hugava was a little more prosperous than Hugava. Although he did not have as many metal minerals as Hugadi, he had the best craftsmen in the Hans Court. However, after several wars, Hugava's trade route was seized by Hugadi, and even if he finally complained to the Senate Church, he did not regain the trade route. Therefore, Hugava, who lost the trade route, inevitably declined and almost failed.

At the same time, in order to restore the soldiers lost in the War of Hugodi, a large amount of additional taxes were raised on the poor, which led to Hugava becoming the city-state with the heaviest taxes in the entire Hans Court ten years ago. These taxes were not cancelled until three years before the players entered the game, and after nearly seven years of high taxation, Hugava became even more miserable.

If it weren't for the old city lord's death and the new city lord was relatively generous, after becoming the lord, he gave up the implementation of the seven-year high taxation plan and began to replenish the people. It is estimated that Hugava would become the first Hansting city-state to revolt due to excessive oppression, and was overthrown by the farmers who turned into robbers and bandits.

However, even if the uprising that was about to break out was finally resolved due to the leniency of the new city lord, Hugava still suffered a severe blow. If it weren't for the rebellion of Hugadi's city lord, it would have been less than ten years since Hugava would have changed from a Sanji main city to a four-level town due to the shrinking of commercial conditions and the growing number of thieves. Once it becomes a four-level town, Hugava's hereditary lord would be instantly taken away, and the vast territory would be divided by the surrounding city-states.

But now a new target has been placed in front of all the city-state lords, and this target is more attractive and rich than the poor Hugava. Almost at the moment when the city lord Hugadi showed signs of rebellion, the city-state lords who were more informed than players began to extend their palms to Hugadi. However, in order to avoid suspicion, they could only secretly send the players' Knights under their command to be the pioneers, which is another reason why players poured into Hugadi in large numbers.

After all, players who received the so-called hidden mission issued by the lord had no resistance under the temptation of a large number of bounties, a large number of meritorious deeds and promised noble titles. As a result, before the surrounding city-states took action, a large number of player legions appeared on the entire periphery of Hugodi, and began to encircle land to divide the spheres of influence of each city-state.

However, these things have nothing to do with Chen Kai who finally got into Hugava. Their purpose of infiltrating Hugava was to open the teleportation array and buy some supplies. After all, the poor Lapura did not have many valuable supplies for Chen Kai and the others to buy, and of course Hugava actually had no much stuff to buy. Although the entire Hugava business activities were slowly recovered under the attention of the new city lord, there were not many gold coins on hand, farmers and civilians at hand. At the same time, the middle and lower aristocrats who formed the main body of the middle class died in large numbers in the war ten years ago, so that the entire Hugava nobles had only a few kittens left, and they were all poor.

As for James and the Wandering Knights, in fact, they have long been eliminated from Hugava's nobles. They can still be recognized by the nobles' heralds of ancestors, and will not be recognized by the senators. Unless they prove their abilities with their own courage and receive the title again with their merits, they will never be recognized by their wandering knights without their fiefdoms.

Carefully, after Hugawa's only more luxurious teleportation array activated the teleportation point, Chen Kai slowly breathed a sigh of relief. At least he didn't have to worry about having to walk to Hugawa again after he hung up. Of course, he hoped that he would not hang up. After all, the accumulation of almost 80% of the experience slot is not so easy to put down.

Pulling his cloak that was covered by his body, Chen Kai carefully walked into the Temple of the Temple of the Morning Light under the suspicious eyes of the guards of the teleportation point. It was not until Chen Kai walked into the Temple that the eyes that covered Chen Kai slowly disappeared. As Hugawa's only elite troops, Hugawa's city defense force is the most fierce soldier Chen Kai has ever seen, and almost all of them are veterans who have survived the war between the two Hus and the war ten years ago. Each veteran has a strong bloody murderous aura. The blood-red aura that wrapped around the soldiers will make Chen Kai, who opened the Eye of Stars, hold his weapon tightly from time to time, fearing that the other party would suddenly rise up and kill him.

In fact, what the veterans were most worried about was whether Chen Kai was a cult believer. After all, not many people in Hugava liked to wear cloaks. So much so that Chen Kai, who was wearing cloaks, was taken seriously by the veterans when he stepped into the teleportation array, for fear that Chen Kai would do the terrible thing to destroy the teleportation array. It was not until Chen Kai entered the Temple of Chen Xi that these nervous veterans breathed a sigh of relief and continued to stick to their posts.

After entering Hugawa's Temple of Morning Light, Chen Kai quickly entered the hall of precepts, which was the place where the temple clergy handled daily affairs. Therefore, when Chen Kai opened the door and entered inside, he was shocked by the numerous priests, because through the dark cloak, they actually saw a purple light flashing on their cheeks inside.

An old priest who was a little nervous without even thinking about grabbing his scepter and trying to perform magic tricks on Chen Kai. But in the end, he was stopped by the great priest sitting behind the desk, because he did not find any evil aura on Chen Kai in his golden eyes, but instead he had the rich breath of the Lord of Dawn.

"Superior Star Knight Kaichen, St. Laplace greeted the great priest Andy." Chen Kai took off his head and took off his helmet and greeted him respectfully at the Great Pastor of the Temple of Morning Light, who was sitting behind the desk. Although he knew that it was dangerous to do so, he was eager to seek help from the temple. After all, he was facing the pursuit of tens of thousands of horse thieves in the entire golden passage, of course, the premise was that those horse thieves could find him.

"Welcome to Hugava, the little guy who came to Yadoric. I heard that you were wanted by Hugava's fat pig recently?" Andy Lipiris, the great priest of Hugava's Morning Temple, looked at Chen Kai with a smile. Although the great priest didn't know why Chen Kai was wanted by Hugadi's city lord, he knew that as a god-grace knight in the Morning Temple, he would definitely not do those things that would harm the will of heaven. Because that would make the knight fall into depravity, the divine grace on his body was taken back, even for players.

"Don't you all know about the great priest?" Chen Kai replied with a smile. Naturally, he could not say that the other party was peeping at the scepter of the earth and wanted him. After all, there were very few people who knew about the scepter of the earth even in the Temple of Morning Light, let alone the great priest who had not yet become a bishop.

"Hehe, you little guy." The great pastor was helpless when he heard Chen Kai's ambiguous answer. He also knew that no matter how he asked Chen Kai, he would not answer. Therefore, the somewhat sleek great pastor quickly changed the topic and signaled Chen Kai to find a seat to sit down.

"Okay! Little guy, what's the matter with me? I can't help you with your wanted order, unless the fat pig city lord is overthrown, you will have to carry this wanted order for the rest of your life." Pastor Andy said to Chen Kai with teasing, and his gray beard looks like an old child no matter how he sees his gray beard.

"Of course, my respected Lord Andy, although I know that this wanted order is a shameless framed by Lord Hugodi, after all, the other party is a lord recognized by the empire, so I don't expect the great priest to help me revoke the wanted order. But I hope the great priest can provide me with some help within my ability, because I heard that the despicable Lord Hugodi actually launched those horse thieves to chase me on the Golden Trade Road, so I ask you to help me when you are both part of the Temple of Morning Light." Chen Kai slowly said his request, and then quietly looked at the great priest who bowed his head and pondered after listening to his words.

After waiting for nearly ten minutes, the great priest Andy Lipiris slowly exhaled and took his head with the great priest head crown looking at Chen Kai, shook his head and said, "Sorry, I have no choice for those horse thieves. After all, I can't mobilize Hugava's garrison to help you clear the horse thieves on the road."

Listening to the words of the great priest, Chen Kai sighed. He slowly stood up and wanted to say goodbye to the great priest's luggage, but the other party waved his hand to let him sit down. Obviously, the great priest had not finished speaking, and Chen Kai sat on the shabby chair again with a hint of expectation.

"Although I can't mobilize the army to help you, I can help you in the best of my ability. I think your temple will have more contributions now?" The great priest asked Chen Kai in an inquiring tone. After the other party nodded, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and then stood up from behind the table and chair. Under Chen Kai's surprised eyes, he limped on the ground with one foot, limped, and slowly walked towards the temple warehouse, while Chen Kai slowly followed him under the leadership of two high priests.

"Open the door of Miloanaka." The great priest said to the two high-level priests standing beside Chen Kai. Then Chen Kai saw the two priests slowly take out half of the huge keys from their bodies and combine them together. When the keys were put together, the two priests inserted into the huge lock outside the warehouse door, and then a huge metal door was slowly opened in front of Chen Kai's eyes.

"You can exchange your temple contribution for the things inside, as long as you have enough contributions. Of course, you must exchange some items other than the contributions with gold coins. After all, Hugawa's temple is not rich, and we must have enough gold coins to take care of the poor people who have lost their land!" The great priest with a cane slowly sat on the stone bench outside the warehouse with the help of a priest, and then asked another priest to lead Chen Kai into the warehouse to select what he needed.

Of course, Chen Kai's initial excitement immediately turned into disappointment after seeing the warehouse door open. After all, Hugawa's Dawn Temple was too poor. The huge warehouse was extremely empty. The shelves that should have been placed with a large number of weapons are now empty, with no dust or spider webs.

However, in the spirit of not being able to return empty-handed, Chen Kai still walked into the warehouse with the priest and searched carefully for things that were useful to him. Looking at the empty open boxes, although Chen Kai did not know what the things were like, he could understand how many valuable items were stored in the Hugawa Morning Temple in the past.

Of course, that was just the past. More than half of the entire warehouse is empty now, and the most surviving should be the dozens of holy water. Because of the high pressure tax rate in the past ten years, few Hugawa people can afford to buy holy water. As a result, at least more than one hundred bottles of high-level holy water with strong sacred attributes were retained in the warehouse. At the same time, there are many holy waters with healing effects. Chen Kai almost thought about these holy waters and put them all into his backpack. The senior priest standing behind Chen Kai smiled happily after seeing Chen Kai's actions. After all, the holy water can only be paid with gold coins, not the temple contribution that cannot be exchanged for money.

After carefully searching the entire warehouse, Chen Kai found a few equipment that were slightly useful to him, including a long sword with tearing effect and a set of leather armor with enhanced defense, that is, a spell-defense effect. Of course, the most important thing is that he found a box of thunder, which is the spell version of the old-fashioned grenade that had already entered the military museum in reality.

These grenades with a range of 5 points and a unit area of ​​200 points, which means that the damage per unit area is close to 1,000 points is what Chen Kai wants the most. At the same time, the number of 50 thunderstorms also ensures that he can use it for a long time, if he saves a little.

However, the price of this kind of thunder is also ridiculously expensive. Each one actually costs 100 gold coins. It took Chen Kai 5,000 gold coins to get this big box. Finally, when Chen Kai walked out of the temple, his contributions to the temple were still not moving, and the gold coins in his pocket were fewer than tens of thousands.

Amid the farewell sound of the great priest Andy Lipiris coming next time, Chen Kaifei also fled Hugava's Temple of Morning Light like a look. He was afraid that the gold coins in his pocket would be consumed by the temple priests who wanted him to donate, so in a short time Chen Kai ran back to his carriage and hid.

After hiding in the carriage, Chen Kai carefully checked the equipment he had. Chen Kai threw the leather armor directly to Fei Yun. Because this kind of leather armor with low defense is not suitable for him to wear, even if the leather armor has three level 4 defensive spells on it. However, the spell crystals required to activate this spell are not a small number, and they last for a short time.

After dealing with the leather armor, Chen Kai immediately took out the long sword from his backpack. This was the only good weapon that Chen Kai found in the temple warehouse. Although the sharpness of the long sword was only 4 points, it could not withstand the tearing effect it came with. Moreover, this tearing effect was not only the spell attached to the weapon, but also the making technique of the weapon itself. Therefore, the blade of the entire long sword was accompanied by tiny inverted blades, distributed on the narrow sword like serrated teeth.

Although this will make the blade not strong enough, it will bring terrible lethality. Because each inverted blade has at least... sharpness, this is the first time Chen Kai has seen this sharpness value. At the same time, he soon discovered the reason for doing this. Because when the blade cuts the flesh of a monster, the inverted blades will also cause secondary damage, and the larger the area the long sword and the object come into contact with, the more secondary damage is.

When Chen Kai started cutting a bought pig with the knife of the long sword, he left the pig's body and jumped out of at least ten or two damages. These damages were caused by the inverted blades on the long sword, which can be said to be an extremely terrifying weapon.

Of course, Chen Kai likes this weapon called the Tooth very much. Although this weapon is too cruel, his terrible lethality is what Chen Kai wants most at the moment. Because Chen Kai knows that the situation he faces next is very dangerous. In such a dangerous situation, cruelty to the enemy is kindness to him. He is not a saint but just a player who wants to complete the task. Therefore, Chen Kai, who has no burden in his heart, naturally has no burden to use a cruel weapon.

However, what Chen Kai didn't know was that when he was carefully wiping his newly obtained one-handed weapon on the carriage, a large group of fierce horse thieves in the northern border area of ​​Hugava were standing on the hills and looking at the business road below the mountain. The leading horse thief was wearing a snow-white wolf skin, and a huge wolf head was covering the horse thief's head. At the same time, the blind eyes were very similar to the scars on the wolf's head. The two slanted scars cut open their eye sockets, leaving two pale scars.

As long as the merchants who are doing business on the Golden Trade Road, they will naturally know who the horse thief wearing a scar wolf skin is. As the largest horse thief on the Golden Trade Road in the entire southern part of the Golden Trade Road, the North Wind Wolf Anka Harun is the most fierce and cruel horse thief, and there is no one.

His name alone can be used to use peasant women from more than a dozen city-states in the southern region to intimidate children, which shows how powerful his reputation is. But what everyone doesn’t know is that the other identity of Anka Harun, the wolf of the North Wind, is the second son of the Lord Hugodi.
