The thick fog on the surface of the sea gradually subsided, and the vision began to clear, and it was already possible to see the outline of the pier not far away.

The headwind has arrived.

After sorting out their suitcases, the passengers disembarked from the middle of the deck and walked to the pier in Adverse Harbor.

Thorthy was one of the first to disembark, and he stood boredly on the dock waiting for Hodge and the others, when a beautiful little flower girl almost fell when she shouted for a bouquet, and the witcher quickly grabbed him without letting the bouquet in her basket fall out.

The flower girl blushed and whispered into Soxi's ear to tell him an address, which was near the dock, and then ran away without looking back, Suo Xi smiled, knowing that it was another beautiful night.

He finally waited for Hodge and the others to get off the boat, but in addition to the two witch ladies, there was also a girl covered in a flaxen-colored cloak, who looked like a casual boy who walked like a casual boy, and if it weren't for the black hair that happened to be exposed outside the cloak and the small half of the delicate pretty face, he really might not have recognized it.

"Who is this?"

The caped girl lowered her head with the brim of her hat, holding Hera's hand and not paying attention to the others at all, she instantly shuddered when she heard this voice, and with great dexterity, she paced and pulled Hera to hide behind Hodge and Daphne, revealing her eyes and glancing at Soth, who was speaking.

Suo Xi was slightly stunned, and touched his cheek, thinking to himself, is he so terrible?

"She-" Hodge said nonchalantly, "a new friend Hera has made and will come with me, what about you?

"How can I stay at the inn near the docks for three days, and then return to the Stone Fort with this ship, and if you have any trouble in the meantime, you can come to me at the "One Cherry" inn on the docks." ”

"Okay, I made a note of it. ”

"It is said that Stormhaven is not very peaceful these days, there is a slave king, maybe there will be some trouble when entering the city, do you need me to go and say hello to the mayor of Stormwind? ”

Hodge thought for a moment, he had heard the captain say something similar when he was at Stone Fort, could it be that there was a movement for slave emancipation in the Harbor?

"No, if there is something I will solve by myself, let alone her...... The sign he gave me. ”

"That's right. Sothy nodded approvingly, "Good luck then." ”

"I wish you a safe return to the Stone Fort. ”

After the two finished speaking, they each left the dock in different directions.

........................

The situation at the city gate was even worse than Hodge expected, at least he didn't expect a small port city to use three neatly organized squads of soldiers to check the crowd entering the city, let alone such a strict model.

"Check! People who came into the city came and lined up, men into the tents on the left, women into the tents on the right. ”

The tall soldiers shouted and instructed the crowd to enter the tents set up on either side for inspection.

Hodge noticed that both men and women had different degrees of subtle changes in the way they wore their clothes after they stepped out of their tents.

Naked inspection? Such a thorough way.

Hodge's mood was slightly gloomy, and he knew that he should ask Suo Xi to do some work, after all, that brand was too conspicuous, and it would be best if he didn't need it.

He had originally wanted to take advantage of the crowd to infiltrate Sylvie when he entered the city, but if it was such a way of checking, there was no doubt that the slave neck ring around Sylvie's neck would be discovered from the moment he took off his cloak.

Gotta create some chaos......

"You can't do that!"

The merchant selling fruits and vegetables turned red and yelled at the soldiers: "You damn bastards, you want to look at my wife's body with obscene eyes? I know Mayor Peron, you can't do this to me!"

The soldier who shouted earlier didn't even blink his eyes, and replied coldly: "Who doesn't know that the bastard of the 'Slave King' has already gathered a group of monsters that can change their appearance, not to mention that you are a "friend" who is not even known to Mayor Peron, even if the mayor enters the city, he will have to be checked!"

"What's more, we are a regular army, not the nasty embryo you say, I advise you to close that shitty mouth, otherwise the sword will not grow eyes! The tent that the woman entered was inspected by a female military doctor in the army, now rest assured?"

The soldier kicked him in the ass and cursed, "Take your wives to the tent for inspection now, and immediately! There are other people lined up behind!"

Hodge, who watched this scene, felt very bad, the inspection of entering the city had reached such an extent? He was a little unsure whether the sign was valid, once Sylvie's identity was revealed, he would not have the corresponding slave ownership certificate to prove that he was Sylvie's master, and when the time came, he would inevitably do it in order to escape, that was not the result he wanted.

What to do now? Leave the queue of people entering the city now?

That is too conspicuous, it seems that the soldiers at the city gate are already investigating suspicious elements, and his actions are obviously a thief, and it will only be exposed faster.

"Ahh

While he was still thinking about how to deal with it, there was a commotion in the tent on the left side of the school.

With a bang, a pool of blood splashed on the cloth of the tent, soaking a large area red from the inside out, and the screams in the tent and the sound of swords colliding only lasted for a short time, and then I saw five or six knives stabbed out of the cloth of the tent at the same time, stirring the cloth to pieces, and a dozen men with bare feet and wrapped in rough linen rushed out with curved scimitars, and the blades were covered with sticky blood.

Slave?

Hodge saw that some of the dozen or so men wore locking necklaces similar to Sylvie's around their necks, while the rest had visible scorch marks on the left side of their necks.

This is supposed to be the mark left when the necklace was forcibly removed by forcibly melting the metal using high temperatures.

These people turned out to be all slaves!

The tall soldiers and their companions immediately drew their swords and shouted fiercely: "You scum, sure enough, there are again!"

The slave at the head whistled, and many topless women barely covered their chests with clothes ran out of the tent on the right.

"Greetings to all of you, Lord Sagisan. ”

After the slave said this, the tent on the right made a bang, and the black and gray mist immediately spread out, blurring everyone's vision, and the slave at the head nodded in satisfaction and shouted to his companions: "Up!"

The crisp sound of the sword handover resounded through the city gates, and at the same time, blood splashed everywhere.

Hodge grabbed Hera and Devany took Sylvie's hand, and the two looked at each other and nodded, no words needed, it was clear what to do at this time.

"Let's go!"

The four of them took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the city gate of the Adverse Harbor.
