Chapter XVI: Human Trafficking

In the southwestern corner of the old town, there is a makeshift tent, and outside the tent is an open square, the stone bricks of the square have been badly damaged, but there are still many people coming and going, and most of them are mainly players.

Next to the tent, several merchants dressed as NPCs are talking to the players, and these merchants are often surrounded by children from the local naturalized town, who are responsible for relaying their words to the player in Chinese.

Ning Qing helped Tang Yi find a businessman with a somewhat bloated figure, the merchant seemed to be a regular customer of Naturalization Town, and said with humility mixed with hospitality: "! @#¥%……&”

The child in charge of the translation translated very obediently: "Dear Lord Ning! You must have brought me more opportunities to make money, God will bless you, these children you have raised have really saved us a lot of time in our caravan. ”

Ning Qing snorted coldly, but didn't pay attention to him.

Tang Yi took over the conversation at the right time and conveyed his needs to the child back.

The merchant immediately couldn't hide the disappointment on his face, and he muttered a lot of words.

"A bottle of Digger Blood costs only 500 Rikels, distinguished guest, would you consider buying a Digger directly? For only 3,000 rikels, it can mine all kinds of ores for you, and if you don't like it, you can also use the Diggers for cooking, which is a delicious treat. ”

These foreign merchants seemed to be more interested in sales than local shops, but Tang Yi shook his head and refused, he didn't need to mine, let alone eat in the game, and had no interest in a whole digging beast.

But the merchant didn't seem to be willing to let Tang Yi only buy a bottle of Diggling Beast's blood, he showed a mysterious and flattering smile, and continued to let people translate: "Distinguished guest, it seems that you should be a first-time caravan to come to me, you may not like these ordinary things, please allow me to recommend you some more interesting goods." ”

"More interesting cargo?" Tang Yi glanced at Ning Qing and found that the teacher was standing next to him with a face full of indifference and disgust, ignoring or interjecting from just now.

"I guess it's better to forget it, I just need the blood of the Earth Digging Beast." Tang Yi vaguely guessed what kind of business this caravan was, so he was even less interested.

The merchant did not give up: "The goods this time are superb, and there are already several distinguished customers asking for the price, are you also interested in taking a look?" ”

"No interest."

"Okay, I see, a vial of the blood of the Digger will be delivered to you in a moment."

Seeing Tang Yi's resolute attitude, the merchant finally gave up, and he didn't want to entertain him personally, so after instructing his subordinates next to him to say a few words, he left first on the grounds that there were other guests.

Soon this NPC got into the tent behind him, and ten minutes later, he took out the usual dark green viscous blood, and the moment he opened the tent, Tang Yi turned his perspective slightly, and just caught a glimpse of iron cages of different sizes side by side in the tent, inside the iron cage were all kinds of strange beasts that had never been seen at all, and creatures that seemed to be imprisoned in the depths......

When he turned around and was about to leave, the silent Ning Qing finally spoke: "It seems that you have almost guessed, this is a living animal trading ground, the so-called living creatures include those rare beasts, as well as dirty slaves and human trafficking, I have always disliked here, even in the game, I find it difficult to accept." Of course, this is just my personal opinion, and I will not interfere with other people's interests. ”

Sure enough.

It was similar to Tang Yi's guess, and if he thought about it in a place where human nature was worse, he could completely imagine why there were so many players in the square here.

When Tang Yi was about to speak, suddenly there was a dull explosion from the big tent not far away, followed by the chaotic sound of running and a burst of angry invective, which was said in the lingua franca, so Tang Yi could only understand one or two sentences.

"Damn! I let that superb thing run out! ”

"Catch her! Otherwise, I'll sell you all to the orc tribe!" ”

……

Something went wrong?

When Tang Yi and Ning Qing looked at each other, a red figure suddenly burst out from behind the tent, like a rushing flame, leaving a bright fiery red in everyone's eyes.

Sou! Sou! Sou!

Several NPCs armed with heavy crossbows chased out of the tent, aiming at the fiery red figure, one arrow after another, and the fiery red figure in mid-air barely dodged the first one, and then seemed to use all his strength, and fell heavily into the square.

The merchant who had been talking to Tang Yi just now also ran out of the tent, and when he saw that the target had been hit by an arrow, he was not very happy, and roared at the guards he hired in an even angier voice.

Tang Yi only understood a few words such as "the goods are valuable" and "can't be broken", which made him feel very uncomfortable, and when he turned his perspective to look at the red figure that fell down, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

This is a girl with a loli figure, a thin but still delicate face, a long fiery red hair without any hair accessories, almost to the waist, and big brown eyes are undisguised anger and grievance.

The girl had been hit by several arrows, and her face was pale, as if all her strength had been exhausted by the full force of her escape, and she tried to get up again, but immediately an arrow flew and knocked her back to the ground, only because of the merchant's roaring warning, and the guards only dared to shoot arrows at the girl's legs or arms, which were not critical.

Tang Yi's eyes were full of anger, and he couldn't help but press his hand on the hilt of the sword on his waist, this general-purpose long sword had never been used when brought out of Dawn City.

Ning Qing frowned slightly, took two steps forward, blocked in front of Tang Yi's character, and said in a low voice: "You calm down first, don't approach easily now, this girl looks a little dangerous." ”

Tang Yi stopped, but he was a little strange, Ning Qing was still so disgusted with the slave trade just now, why was he unwilling to let himself go up and save this girl first.

The players in the square all saw this scene, originally just watching the lively players, after seeing clearly that the fiery red figure was actually such a bright girl, before Tang Yi stepped out, other players had already started all kinds of thoughts, whether it was compassion, fighting injustice, heroes saving beauty, or with some other dirty mentality, some players stood up one after another.

"Stop! You cruel profiteers, even children dare to beat them, you really don't treat Naturalization Town as our territory! ”

"Don't be afraid! Uncle has come to save you! ”

Two or three players rushed towards the place where the girl fell, and even had a bit of a game speed, for fear that someone else would grab the girl first.

The bloated merchant outside the tent suddenly changed his face, and he forgot to find someone to translate, so he shouted anxiously in the lingua franca of the game, but unfortunately no one understood, and even if he understood what an NPC merchant said at this time, Naturalization Town was still a place controlled by the player after all.

Tang Yi understood, and the merchant was repeatedly shouting a word to those players who wanted to be heroes and save the United States: "Danger!" ”
