Chapter 22: Trafficking Gangs
"The city lord election meeting held this time was decided by vote, and there were three candidates, all of whom were from famous families." The man placed a stack of papers on the table, "This is the material of the three of them, and I believe they have the ability to protect the city." ”
"Well, since the Knight Chiefs of the Kingdom have said so, how can I refuse." The deputy city lord smiled, picked up the paper and looked at it one by one.
"However, these people are too young, I'm afraid they can't shoulder the heavy responsibility of being the city lord, right? Besides, most of the people from famous and noble families are the sons of gentlemen who have no one in their sights, can they really hold on well in this backward border city? The deputy city lord put down the information and said helplessly.
"You don't have to worry about that, they all came voluntarily, and as for whether they are competent or not, this is a matter for the people." The knight laughed.
"Hopefully......"
……
"Hammer, have you gathered any new information?" The girl asked.
"I've only heard a little bit about it so far." Hammer nodded, "It's the Knight of the Kingdom that has arrived in the city, along with two other candidates for the lord of the city. ”
"Hmm...... Now that we're all here, let's go soon......" The girl nodded, "Hammer, you continue to gather information, and I'll go out and investigate." ”
"yes, okay."
……
In an unknown corner of the city, a troop of men entered through a gap in the walls.
"The four subhumans caught this time are the rarest elves," the bucktooth man looked obscenely at the four girls sleeping in the cage, and thought to himself, "I must be able to sell it for a good price!" ”
"Hmph, these bitches have played us enough, isn't it too cheap for them to sell them like this?" A strong man next to the bucktooth man said viciously.
"No, a complete elf guest will only pay a high price," said a man with a scar on his face, "Four elves, each can be sold for a minimum of 600 gold coins, and if it is sold well, it should be able to sell for 1,000 gold coins each." ”
"Aren't we rich, then?!" Thief eyebrows and rat eyes said excitedly.
"That's for sure, after all, this is the rarest elf, no matter how high the price is, someone will buy it!" The bucktooth man snorted, as if he had captured the elves alone.
"Let's bring the 'slave collar' to them first, while the effect of the medicine is still there at this time, otherwise it will be troublesome when you wake up." Scarface pulls four black collars out of the carriage's slot, burrows into the cage and fastens it around the elf's neck.
In an alley not far from these people, a girl watched it all with frightened eyes.
"This ...... How could this happen...... This must be reported to the family! The girl thought, turning around.
"Is it pretty?" A fat man stood behind the girl, tilting his head and smiling.
"Ahh
……
"Well, it tastes great!" Ash took a bite of ice cream that was as elastic as a marshmallow and exclaimed.
"Hahaha, of course! It's your first time in Ylang City, right? The shopkeeper smiled heroically.
"Well, we're here to register as adventurers in Ylang City!" Ash mumbled as he mumbled as he took ice cream in his mouth.
Ash ...... Eat slowly. Lhea got up and took out a handkerchief to help Ash wipe the residue from her mouth.
"Ho, what a gentle sister!" The shopkeeper laughed.
"That's it!" Ash said proudly.
He didn't pay attention, and Rhea was visibly stunned as he said this.
Originally...... Is it really my sister......
……
Suddenly, Ash's brow furrowed—"Léa, do you hear me?" ”
"Hmm."
"Let's go, let's see!"
"Yes."
……
"Boom!" The fat man looked at the girl who was shrunk in the cage and smiled strangely: "How is it?" It tastes good, right? ”
His fat features were huddled together, and his appearance was not only ugly but also terrifying.
"Let go, let go of me!" The girl shouted, struggling a few times. Only then did she realize that her hands and feet were bound with ropes.
"I'm Anne Leibchet! I command you to let go of me quickly! No......" cried Anne, and suddenly she felt something cold and hard around her neck......
"Slave Necklace"
It is something that violates the laws of nature. The person carrying it must obey absolutely any orders given by its owner, and if it does not carry out or does not meet the standards set by its owner, the necklace will explode on itself, killing the person carrying it.
"You...... What have you done......" Anne screamed in horror as she looked at the black collar.
"Or what? Bang The fat man laughed, "I don't care who you are, you eavesdrop on our conversation and there is only one way to die." ”
"How can you ...... like this" Anne's eyes changed from horror to despair, she knew that once she brought this cursed prop, she could not get rid of it in any way.
"Woooooooo......oo
"What's the use of crying, you've become our slave, I order you, take off all your clothes!" The fat man's eyes flashed lewdly, and he ordered the girl in the cage.
"Hey, dead fatty, be a man and leave a line!" Ash shook his head and sighed, "Since you're a bad person, then you can die." ”
『Abyss』
The fat man's expression froze, and he looked at Ash who suddenly appeared in front of him in disbelief - "You ......"
The ground cracks open and devours the fat man inside.
"Hey, don't cry, come out." Ash's level 100 arm strength dismantled the iron cage in three or two and said to her.
"Woooooooooo......oo It's useless, this collar can't be lifted no matter what......" Anne cried, shaking her head buried in her knees.
"Well, I'm most afraid of girls crying......" Ash sighed.
"High-level item destruction"
The slave necklace, which was said to never be broken, turned into a mess of powder with Ash's finger.
"Get up, go, take you to Mom and Dad."
