Arroyo raised his hand and pointed straight to the booth below the semi-circular chamber, his actions quickly diverting the attention of Finn, Raymond, and Arya from the discussion they were pointing in.

The eyes of the four returned to the same place. By this time, the beautiful oil painting on the booth had already been sold for a good price during the conversation between Finn, Raymond, and Arya, and two staff members were pushing a cart covered by a black curtain on the stage.

People saw a rectangular three-dimensional outline of the object covered by the black curtain, and many people immediately guessed that there was an iron animal cage hidden under the black cloth. The cart was quickly pushed to the center of the booth, after which the two staff members calmly stepped aside, leaving the rest of the scene to the emcee on the sidelines.

"The stuff on that little cart looks like a cage." Raymond took a look at the outline of the object under the black curtain and said, "What are they going to sell next?" Beast pets? ”

"Mostly pets." Arroyo smiled dryly and looked at his companions with the back of his eyes, "But... Not necessarily a beast. ”

The screen returns to the booth.

The master of ceremonies moved two steps to his side to the covered cart, he stretched out one hand to grasp the black curtain covering the cart, and with the other hand he placed the small horn with the built-in magic guide in front of him, and then smiled and raised his head to face the crowd, and announced in a loud voice with a tone of excitement of the nature of guidance and entertainment of the show: "Attention, ladies and gentlemen, the auction has now begun, and I think you have begun to become aesthetically fatigued with dead things without life and soul - now let's see the living!" ”

As he spoke, he jerked his arm and lifted the black curtain he had grasped from the roof of the cart.

The master of ceremonies' hand lifted the cover on the cart and revealed the mystery that the guests were looking forward to. People's eyes were invariably attracted by the exhibits placed on the booth, and both the ordinary guests in the seats and the VIPs in the box saw clearly the living creature that the master of ceremonies was talking about - a little girl kneeling in an iron cage.

"How dare they traffic in human beings?!"

Raymond almost got up from his seat at the first sight of the little girl. His hand was not far from the scabbard at his waist, but Fein had sensed his impulse almost at the same time, and just in time to reach out a hand from the side and hold him down again.

"You?!" Raymond's anger choked in his chest, and he immediately turned his head to glare at Finn.

Finn looked at the stunned young man in front of him, sighed softly in his heart, and then picked his eyeballs, prompting Raymond to look in a certain direction in the aisle of the venue.

Raymond followed Finn's reminder to glance in that direction, and immediately noticed that the dark elf girl who had led the group into the venue was standing coldly not far away, monitoring his every move. The curved sword at his waist was about half the length of a finger that had just come out of its scabbard, and the discerning dark elf girl seemed to warn him, and in her right hand she had pulled a sharp dagger halfway out of its short leather sheath.

After realizing that the hall of the venue was still surrounded by armed guards from the meeting, Raymond suddenly understood what Finn meant, and then carefully dispelled the immature thought just now, and turned back with a trace of unwilling eyes.

"Take a deep breath and put the fire down." Fein bootstrapped.

Raymond gritted his teeth and nodded, then did so.

"Have you calmed down?"

After a long pause, he nodded again.

"Okay." Finn let go of Raymond's hand, "Now, tell me, what did you just want to do?" ”

"I ......"

"Don't worry, I won't make fun of you."

“…… I want to save that child. ”

Taking another deep breath, Raymond revealed the reason for his impulsiveness just now.

After listening to Raymond's answer, Fein did not immediately rate the rights and wrongs of Raymond's behavior just now, but turned his head to look at Arya next to him.

"Arya, do you want to save that kid too?" He asked, looking into the elven girl's eyes.

“…… Nonsense. Arya clenched her fists, her emerald green eyes staring angrily at the master of ceremonies standing beside the little girl in the booth, and her words clearly carried a deliberate restraint of inner displeasure, "As far as I am concerned, the freedom of life is a right that cannot be taken away. In my homeland, the elven lords of the Far South Forest would not enslave criminals and captives even if they were to expel them, and I had never seen slaves in that land, let alone auctioned off young slaves. ”

"But I'd suggest we'd better not mess around." After hesitating for a moment, Arroyo opened his mouth to interject into the topic, "Uh... I mean, guys, I'm touched by your goodness and integrity, but please calm down and think about what this place is? The underground black market auction house in Hurengel here is not the same as the blue harbor on a rainy night when we were here, isn't it? I don't think it's going to be a good time for the four of us potential spoilers to deal with all the guards in the entire venue. Bear with me. ”

After speaking, the young thief clasped his hands and observed the changes in the expressions of the three companions beside him. Soon, he saw that Arya's face had gradually become as calm as Finn's, except for Raymond's body, which was surrounded by a cloud of anger that was still easily perceptible - but fortunately, under Finn's admonition, the young and vigorous young man effectively controlled the recklessness in his heart.

Arroyo breathed a sigh of relief and turned her attention back to the auction.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to take a moment to introduce this lovely little flower to you." At the booth of the venue, the master of ceremonies continued his work of presiding over the scene, throwing away the black curtain that was no longer in his hand and placing his palm on the little girl's head, "Look, everyone, this little stamen has bright silver hair, and her little white face is inlaid with two eyes as clear as snow gems, and the pair of beautiful pointed ears and her lithe body are obviously telling us about her fairy-tale beautiful half-fairy blood—oh, of course, please don't pay attention to her dull gaze now, To prevent our little cutie from escaping our palms, we used a small dose of hallucinogenic drugs on him, and the effects of the drugs quickly wore off. ”

The emcee's words were transmitted to the ears of the people in the venue through the megaphone in his hand. His diction is so enticing that it perfectly arouses the interest of some gentlemen with special fetishes, and if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Finn would have thought it was a kind father trying to push his beloved baby daughter onto social media.

However, Finn always knew that this was a slave trade in the true sense of the word, and the way of the transaction was bidding, and the place was in this auction house, and all the ill-intentioned people who participated in this round of transactions were guilty, and he regretted that he could not use his legendary tuba from his previous life to administer justice with violence, and this little twist and turn in this life seemed to sound the alarm bell for him in his mind for the future.

The alarm bells of the future rang in his mind uncontrollably, each humming reminding him: "Without power, there is no justice!" ”

"Yes...... Without power, there is no justice. The young paladin sat down in his seat and closed his eyes silently, agreeing with the buzz in his mind.

With a sudden illusion, Finn felt as if he had traveled through a tunnel through time and space and returned to his previous life, when he had just stepped into the continent of Ferdia as a player. That year, the immature rookie paladin clamored to cleanse the world of all evil, and ran to the world public frequency with a strong sense of game substitution to announce that he was going to become a righteous partner to other players in the entire server.

The rookie paladin's initial experience is self-evident, he looks for every opportunity he can find in his journey with his companions to make a practice for the righteous cause he seeks, but the realistic game world has given him a merciless blow again and again, his crappy help to the weak has been misinterpreted and ridiculed, his heroic gesture of standing up to protect strange players has been slapped over by the powerful boss, and the NPC natives he has helped have betrayed and framed him for better interests under the control of intelligent personalities.

One day during that time, he felt that the ugliness and injustices of the world had built a visible Constantinople at the end of his vision, and he tried to conquer that city with virtue and courage, but the impregnable wall of Theodosius became the first barrier that he could never conquer, and for the first time he felt how small the faith without power was in the great world, pitiful like an unfortunate baby who fell into the dark forest and wept.

In the end, after falling down countless times and patting his clothes and getting up from the resurrection point countless times, the simple rookie finally grew into an old bird who knew how to be flexible and adaptable without losing his self-esteem, and stood on the virtual game continent to realize the truth that affected his future beliefs.

He realized that without power, there can be no justice.

Failure is the mother of success, and violence is the mother of justice.

The auction activity at the booth continued. The low price of the half-fairy little girl was quickly revealed, and Hui Fang tied the live commodity with a worm bait with a base price of three hundred and threw it into the sea, and a big fish in the sea bit the bait hook and jumped out of the water in a short time.

The owner of the box was willing to buy the poor little girl for three hundred and ten gold coins, but anyone with a little experience in the auction knew that the ostensible offer was not the final price at all, and the role of the buyer's symbolic bid was mainly to stir up the atmosphere with a one-ten-thousandth luck mentality.

Sure enough, after the VIP in the box had made a start, a rich man in the ordinary seat of the hall held up a sign and bid three hundred and twenty gold coins, and then a more courageous adventurer even grandstood and bid three hundred and twenty gold coins and one silver coins to join the bidding, after all, he knew that he would not be the one who would eventually buy the slave child in the booth anyway.

The value of the half-elf girl rose little by little, and the price gradually rose to three hundred and fifty gold coins, but each new bidder raised the price to a certain extent, and the difference between the new offer and the price exceeded was always controlled within ten gold coins.

Arroyo listened to the latest price shouted by the master of ceremonies again and again, and suddenly regretted his actions a few minutes ago.

He could feel that the air in his group had become a little dull and oppressive, so he sighed and looked at Finn, and after thinking for a while, he said, "My lord, maybe I shouldn't have reminded you to pay attention to this round of sales. ”

With that, he calmly waited for Finn's response. Whether it is forgiveness or complaining, he is ready to accept and listen to the response of the Paladin youth.

“…… No, you did nothing wrong. In the middle of the night, Finn opened his eyes, and the stagnation in his pupils was swept away.

The next moment, the words of the young paladin were neither forgiveness nor complaints, but: "Arroyo, we quote." ”
