"What's the reason?" The girl turned to look at her.
"Nan Xinze." Xia Yibing shrugged.
In addition to its developed coastal commerce, the Diocese of Sinze seems to be the industrial center of Sara.
Hitzfeld also remembered.
Nan Xinze’s accident has affected too many people, and many factories may be shut down during this period.
It turned out to be the case.
She got it.
No wonder the factory was forced to start up.
The journey became faster after passing the factory.
Getting off the car next to an old building, Hitzfeld looked up and stared at the three-story dilapidated building.
Judging from its specifications, it might have been a fashionable villa forty years ago.
Forty years have passed, and the wall is covered with ivy. The whole building is almost completely wrapped in green, and even the iron gate outside has become solid.
The roof was originally supposed to be covered with vermilion tiles, but now it has turned dark red.
That dark red that's close to purple-black.
“It doesn’t look like anyone lives here.”
Prince Gaunt stared at it, frowning.
"No, he has been back."
Hitzfeld stared at the edge of the lawn behind the door.
"why?"
Gunter looked over in confusion.
"Don't you think the plants back there are growing particularly well?"
"Hmm?" Gaunt still didn't understand.
"But what does this have to do with Batty?"
"It has nothing to do with Buddy. It has to do with Buddy's dog."
Seeing the long-haired young man still looking confused, Xia Yibing covered her face, shook her head and sighed.
"Whether it's his house or not, we'll know after we go in and take a look."
"Aisun stay here with His Highness. I'll go get the tools."
"Let's... prepare to pry the door open."

Chapter 83 Big Dog
This old iron fence door is easy to pry open, and Xia Yibing is a professional, so she pushed the door open in no time.
Seeing that Prince Gaunt seemed to be planning to go in with them, the secret sentries who had been escorting them all the way could no longer sit still, and two plainclothes officers immediately ran over to stop them.
"Your Highness, we will just wait outside."
"You came just in time."
The two sides spoke almost at the same time.
After all, the prince had more authority, so after he said that, the other party didn't dare to speak again. He only heard him say, "Come with me to see it?"
So under the puzzled gazes of more secret sentries, the two men were dragged in together by Gunter.
Xia Yibing walked in front.
Although the house is shabby, the area of the yard is quite large.
Hitzfeld made a rough estimate and found that it even occupied a larger area than the house on Flo Street. You have to know that this is in Wien Port, where every inch of land is valuable, so even if it is an old street, it would be exaggerated.
"Indeed, someone should come here every once in a while." Prince Gaunt paid special attention to the plants on the lawn.
Now he finally understood what Hitzfeld meant - the vegetation behind the door grew well because it was obviously watered extra, which was related to Batty's dog...which made sense.
Just as he finished speaking, he had only walked halfway to the front yard when a gray shadow jumped out from the bushes next to him and pounced on Gaunt with the unique roar of a wild beast.
"Oh my God!"
"Your Highness, be careful!"
The two people walking in front turned around and saw a scene of people and horses falling to the ground.
It was a dog, a big dog.
It was rare to see such a big dog. It was bigger than the wolf in the conventional impression, and looked like a calf. Its hair was gray and dirty because it had not been cleaned for a long time. At this moment, it was riding on a man fiercely, biting his arm tightly.
Prince Gaunt was fine. Hitzfeld saw it clearly. He was ready the moment the big dog pounced. He held the cane tightly with both hands and kept his lower body steady. If no one stopped him, the dog would probably suffer.
But now...she could only hope that the plainclothes officer was not seriously injured and that he would not be severely punished for disturbing the prince's fun.
"Jager! Look what you've done!"
Gunter shouted and swung his cane at the big dog, "Why are you here trying to show off if you have no ability? Do you like being bitten by a dog?"
That was no ordinary walking stick. It was made entirely of black ironwood and was extremely heavy. It made a humming sound when it was swung.
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"
The big dog felt threatened by the cane and jumped aside, barking wildly at the three men.
Gaunt ordered the other man, "Watch it!", and quickly took out gauze and ointment from his arms. While the victim was confused, he tore open his sleeve and began to apply the ointment meticulously.
After all, he is a prince from a military background, so it is easy for him to win people's hearts without any deliberate pretense.
Seeing the plainclothes officer almost crying, Hitzfeld curled his lips and hid behind Xia Yibing without saying a word.
Being in the same room with a wild beast without any protection...
Well, although she may not be that afraid of this thing, it is better to avoid such contact.
The big dog wanted to take advantage of Gunter's crouching opportunity to rush up again, but another plainclothes officer had already carefully taken out his pistol and aimed at it.
"Ahhh!" It could sense the danger of this weapon. It pressed its upper body to the ground and barked a few times fiercely. Suddenly, its nose moved and its head turned to another direction.
broken.
Seeing this thing's green eyes fixed on him, Hitzfeld's breathing stopped and he took a small step back.
"Don't leave my back!" Xia Yibing lowered her center of gravity and locked her eyes on the approaching big dog.
She was hesitant about whether to pull out her gun.
If nothing unexpected happens, this should be Villefort's dog.
Whether considering personal relationships or possible implications, it would not be a wise choice to kill the dog.
But it would be difficult to control it without hurting it, and she also didn't want Hitzfeld to be in danger.
The big dog didn't understand her thoughts. It acted as if it didn't see the existence of a living person like her blocking the way and rushed straight towards the gray-haired girl.
"brute!"
His expression changed and Xia Yibing reached out to pull out the gun.
"and many more!"
Hitzfeld suddenly called her.
"It's not dangerous!"
This sentence slowed the woman down for a beat. When she reacted, the dog had already knocked the girl down and was licking her hand with its tongue like it was being intimate with its master.
It’s disgusting——
Hitzfeld's hair stood on end.
If I had known this, I wouldn't have stopped her!
Because of his experience fighting against the Slit-Maw Wolf and having read detailed information about this canine species, Hitzfeld could tell that the big dog's pounce was not aggressive.
But now the outcome...
If she hadn't tried hard to block it with her hands, it would have been her face that was licked.
This doesn't seem much better than being attacked...
"Do you know?"
Prince Gaunt stood up and looked at the scene in confusion.
"No!"
Xia Yibing hurriedly explained.
“We’ve never been here before…”
"You go and try."
The prince ordered her.
Xia Yibing was eager to rescue the girl from the "monster", but when she got within one meter, the big dog turned its head and barked at her.
It's really weird...
At this moment, everyone, including Hitzfeld who was lying on the ground, was shrouded in great confusion.
"So, it only wants to be close to Aisuen."
A minute later, they were standing at the foot of the old building.
Xia Yibing was prying the door open, and from time to time she turned her head and stared at the man and the dog hanging behind the door along with the others.
Hitzfeld had never felt so awkward before. Wearing a dress to a party was even better than this.
The dog was extremely affectionate towards her, and after she got up, it kept circling around her, wagging its tail like a windmill.
"I repeat, I don't recognize it!"
She felt the need to protect her reputation.
What the devil had Villefort cast on it?
"Look at the bright side, now we have someone who can control it."
Prince Gaunt made a joke.
With a clang, the door lock fell to the ground.
Xia Yibing stretched out her foot to push the door open. Just as she was about to volunteer to go in and investigate, Gunter floated in like a ghost.
"No need to be so cautious, Agent."
"With it guarding here, there won't be any dirty stuff in there."
The woman glared and turned to look at the two plainclothes officers.
The two of them responded with helpless looks and ran after him.
They quickly gave the old building a rough inspection and found nothing unusual, just as Gaunt had asserted.
"really weird."
A plainclothes officer stretched out his hand and wiped it across the table, staring at the thick dust on his fingers.
"It's not like 'occasionally' someone comes back."
Judging from the amount of dust accumulated, Villefort definitely hasn't been back for at least a year, or at most two or three years.
So what about this dog?
