Chapter 34: The Village

The old man didn't know when he took out a pot of tea, and unhurriedly picked up the teacup and tasted it.

Liviel propped her chin on the table with her hands on her chin and asked curiously, "Grandpa, what about later?" It's not just because of this that you're going to be a friend worth befriending. ”

"Haha, of course not." The old man put down the teacup, touched Liviel's face and continued: "I separated from her in the desert, but what I didn't expect was that I met her again in a commission not long after. ”

At night, in a valley on the edge of the kingdom of Zare. The thick mist obscured the last rays of moonlight in the night.

A team of five people took advantage of the cover of night and quietly approached the village.

As soon as we approached the village, a faint smell of blood wafted out of the air under the influence of the wind.

The five of them exchanged a few glances and then went their separate ways, and the old man was among them.

Lake. Hidden in the shadows of the house, he found that the villagers looked like ordinary people on the surface, but their walking posture and right hand were always vertical, and they were obviously professionally trained.

"It's really not easy here, let's investigate it first." With that, his figure was once again hidden in the shadows.

In the corner of the village there was a nondescript house, which looked dilapidated from the outside, and if it weren't for a few people sitting and chatting outside, I wouldn't believe that there would be anyone inside.

"Why are we talking about being so nervous, and no one is coming to this backwoods." One of the gatekeepers said.

"Who knows? I think the boss is too cautious, such a broken village probably even forgot about the kingdom, how could anyone come. The other agreed.

"We're really unlucky to be sent to guard this house. What is there to keep in this house, it is in tatters, I see..."

Before the man could finish complaining, his companion interrupted him.

"Stop complaining, someone's coming." After speaking, the two of them stood up straight, looking dutiful.

Not far away, a woman with her hair curled up in a cloth came with a basket.

"Did I say we have that guy here?"

"I don't know, but it's very good-looking, maybe it's a beautiful woman who wants to tie up with the boss."

The woman slowly approached the two.

"Stop, what are you doing here?" One of them will reach out and stop him.

The woman lifted the basket in her hand, and the smell of wine wafted out of it.

"Rod saw that you were working hard, so he asked me to bring you supper." So the woman put the basket on the table at the door.

The two of them couldn't help but roll their Adam's apple when they smelled the aroma of wine wafting out of the basket, and immediately ate and drank around the table. The woman turned and slowly retreated, and the corners of her mouth set off a subtle arc at the moment of turning, but unfortunately the two did not see it.

"Why do I feel so sleepy, so tired." One yawned and said.

The other yawned and nodded approvingly, and their heads were lifted before they slumped heavily on the table.

At this time, at the corner in front of her, the woman slowly walked over and smiled slightly, helped the two of them up, and then the white fingertips flew out with two white rays, fixed the two of them in place, and walked into the dilapidated house.

Lake. Eun knocked a village name unconscious and dragged it into a dark alley, and changed into a villager's clothes. Eun came out of the alley and blended into the crowd.

"Hey, over there." There was a shout from behind.

Lake. Eun thought to herself, 'No, was he found out so soon?' He turned and pointed to himself.

"Over there, yes, that's you." The man nodded, waving for him to come over.

Lake. Eun's right hand touched the dagger hidden in his sleeve, ready to respond to emergencies at any time.

The man turned and dragged out a bamboo basket covered with coarse cloth from the room behind him, and at the same time called a man and said, "You two carry this to the money bag." ”

'Money bags? 'Lake. Eun was a little confused, but he nodded anyway.

"Brother, you lift the front, I lift the back, go faster." Lake. Eun said to his fellow travelers.

"Okay."

That's it. Led by him, he walked through the alleys to a warehouse.

Unlike the outside, there were about twenty people guarding here, and everyone could clearly feel that they were much stronger than the people outside.

'This is the money bag?' A faint smell of blood crept into his nose.

A shirtless man walked over and stared at Lake with a fierce look. The two asked, "What are you two doing here?" ”

The two of them put down the bamboo basket, and the person in front of them replied, "This is what Lord Meng Fei asked us to send here." ”

The man walked over and uncovered the coarse cloth, revealing a basket full of torture instruments.

"Let's go inside, to the last room in the hallway."

"Okay."

The two walked into the warehouse with bamboo baskets, and as soon as they entered the warehouse, a foul smell was very pungent, making both of them frown.

"I don't get used to it every time I come, it stinks." The person in front said.

Lake. Eunya nodded and said, "The smell here is really unbearable. ”

"Let's hurry up, get things done early and get out early."

After passing through the wooden door of the warehouse, he knew why it was called a money bag and why it smelled so bad.

Inside the warehouse are rows of iron cages, and inside the iron cages are children of different races.

'The slave trade is on the black market, no wonder it's money bags. 'Lake. A cloud of anger also ignited in En's heart, "The slave trade has long been banned by order, and it will still appear here!" He was angry not that they were breaking the law, but that they were abusing the children in iron cages and separating them from their loved ones.

When the children in the iron cage saw someone coming in, they all looked at them with fear in their eyes, and most of the children's bodies were trembling slightly.

Look at these kids, Lake. Eun's heart was full of pain and anger.

'Don't worry, I'm going to get you out!' 'Lake. Eun said firmly in his heart.

"Tsk, that's pathetic." Lake. En said slowly.

The man responded, "Yes, it's pitiful, but if it weren't for them, our life wouldn't be so easy." ”

Suddenly, a wave of killing intent made Lake. Eun felt a chill behind him, and looked back at the iron fence, and a pair of angry eyes appeared in his field of vision.

"Brother, what's the race in that cage?"

Follow Lake. En's eyes looked at it, but the man waved his hand and said, "She seems to be from the elf clan, and she is the culprit who turned us upside down a few days ago." ”

"Oh, that's her." Lake. En's response pretended to be clear, and with a flick of the man's right hand while he was not paying attention, a glimmer of light flew out and fell into the iron cage.

Walking through the long hallway, the two finally came to the end of the hallway, where a mottled wooden door stood silently.

[Squeak~]

The wooden door was slowly pushed open, and the thick smell of blood came to my face.

The room is small, with three rows of shelves on the left with a few leg cuffs on the shelves. In the center is a small bed made of metal, stained with red blood. There is also a cross in the back, which also has blood stains on it. These remaining traces of blood all pour out the evil deeds that have been staged here.

The two left the house after placing the basket under the shelf.

After coming out of the warehouse, Lake. En was separated from the man and walked alone on the road, thinking about how to rescue the children.

"Let's wait for them first, we will discuss it with us, and we must destroy this place!" With that, he ran into the original alley, changed his clothes, and dragged the unconscious man out of the village.

After a while, the other four also came out, and the five gathered together to discuss.

One of them said, "There are about 300 people in this village, and there are three magicians among them. ”

"These should only be their strength on the surface, I seem to have a few magic weapons here." Another added.

"I propose to go back to the union first to report the situation, and wait for the union's support to arrive before acting, after all, our mission this time is to investigate."

"This is not an estimate, I know from their mouths that they seem to be leaving with their goods early tomorrow morning."

"Goods? What goods. One of them said suspiciously.

Lake. Eun clenched his fists and said hatefully, "Slave child! They keep children of all races in iron cages in warehouses! And I have seen many children who are weak and impairing with death. ”

"How so!" Everyone was amazed.

"Damn, it's unforgivable to do such a thing!"

"Unforgivable? Oh, they should all be killed! Such people live in the world and pollute the air. ”

"Hehe, just let me burn them all to ashes, so that they can be used as fertilizer and not waste land." A scorching flame rose from the hand of one man.

"In this way, who will wind magic." Lake. En asked.

"I will." A long-haired man replied.

"Okay, you're the fastest, you go back to the union to find reinforcements first, and the rest of the people go in and find a way to rescue the children." Lake. Commander En said.

"Well, then you have to be careful." After saying that, he rode the wind and flew outside.

"Let's go in first and find a way to get our hands on the magic weapon, so that we will have more hole cards." Lake. Eun said again, and then the group infiltrated the village again.

Lake. Eun cautiously shuttled through the village, looking for the shadow of the magic weapon.

"It's strange, it stands to reason that something as important as a magic weapon should be guarded by heavy troops, and there is nowhere else here except for the warehouse with more people, but I can't sense any magic fluctuations in the warehouse." Lake. En leaned on the roof of a small western-style building and said suspiciously.

Suddenly, a tattered roof appeared in his field of vision, and he always felt that there was something wrong with the dilapidated house, and thought to himself: 'What if he doesn't play his cards according to common sense?' Immediately he flickered and approached the dilapidated house.

Not far from the house, he saw two people standing in the doorway, like statues, if he could not sense that there was still life in them, he would have thought it was statues.

"Huh? Wait, why don't these two people move, and their hearts are beating so slowly? "Lake. Endu had been observing them for nearly ten minutes and decided to get closer.

As a result, both of them closed their eyes, which made his head big for a while.

After confirming that there was no one around, he flashed over, picked up the wine glass on the table and sniffed it, and couldn't help but be even more puzzled: "How can there be sleeping pills in here?" Someone has the same goals as us? ”

So he also walked into the wooden house, and as soon as he entered the front foot, a small blue lightning rushed over. Eun ducked to the left, and at the same time saw a shadow that immediately pushed his hand to the ground, and rushed directly towards the figure.

Fortunately, this room is not big, and the distance between the two is instantly closer, and just when they are about to collide, a female voice sounds: "Ryker? ”

Lake. En heard the familiar voice and quickly got up and wanted to stop, but the inertia still rushed forward, and the faces of the two were about to touch before they finally stopped. Eun looked surprised: "(Oops) Aya!! ”
