At dawn the next day, in a grove on the outskirts of the city of Kells.

"Xiao Ash, don't worry, Xiao Bai is very clever. ”

Leaning on the trunk of the tree, her face still pale, but her spirit was much better, she looked at the gray wind pacing back and forth and comforted.

Grey Wind glanced at Herro with concern in his eyes.

"However, Xiaobai, she hasn't caught up with me until now, and she hasn't contacted me. ”

Harrow held out her hand and placed it on Greywind's head.

"Don't worry, there is a summoning contract between you, and if Xiaobai is in any danger, you will also feel it...... It's just a pity that Xiaobai hasn't learned to summon magic yet, otherwise she can directly call you to her side. ”

Grey Wind lay down beside Helo, believing what Helo said, but still couldn't help but worry.

"Xiaobai, Xiaobai, answer me quickly when you hear it. 」

Again, the spiritual message was still not answered.

Turning his head, Greywind looked in the direction of Kells City.

"Don't worry, if Xiaobai still hasn't contacted him today, we'll go back in the evening...... By then, the slave's injuries should be better. ”

“...... Well. ”

Touched by Helo's back, Grey Wind lay on the ground and closed his eyes, trying to calm his mind, but suddenly, there was a rustling sound from the nearby woods.

Grey Wind stood up suddenly, and glanced at Herro, it was the unfamiliar smell of blood, and it was not Cheruth.

Soon, a man staggered out of the bushes in front of them, and that person seemed to just glance up at Harrow and Grey Wind, and threw himself directly to the ground without carefully confirming their identities.

"Please, please help me ......"

Harrow nodded to Grey Wind, who cautiously walked over, sniffed with his nose, and looked at the other again.

“...... If you don't treat it quickly, you will die. ”

Gray Wind said, and suddenly felt one of his backwards being grasped, and subconsciously jumped up, baring his fangs and looking at the person lying on the ground.

“...... Please, help me ...... With a ......"

The seriously injured person didn't realize what he had touched, and he only subconsciously thought that he had met someone, and seemed to be trying his best to say something when he could still hold on.

“...... Please, please go to the south...... Looking for the wind and sand...... Find Marshal Wall......"

The man spoke in fits and starts.

“...... Imperial Capital ...... There is a traitor...... Out, Exit Bureau...... Bought by the Assassins...... The news can't get out...... Your Majesty and His Royal Highness...... Dangerous ......"

"The Exit Administration Bureau was bought off by the Assassins?" Helo muttered, suddenly remembering what happened to Gurney in the Exit Administration's Mansion that day, "Sure enough, these Assassins are not simple, if they simply want to assassinate the Emperor, then there is no need to block the news of the entire Imperial Capital...... Rebellion......"

Just as Helo was muttering, suddenly, Grey Wind spoke in surprise.

"Sister Heluo, Xiaobai has passed the message!"

－－－

"Well, I didn't make it out of the city in the end, but I hid in a safe place for the time being, don't worry, I'm fine. 」

In an empty room, Cheruth lay weakly on the bed, mentally reading to the gray wind.

"Xiaobai, don't be reckless, Sister Heluo and I will soon find a way to save you. 」

"Well, but don't be reluctant Sister Gray Wind, after last night's incident, the martial law in the city will definitely be strengthened a lot, and before Sister Heluo recovers, don't rush to find me, I'm hiding well." 」

Well, it wasn't a lie, because she didn't know where she was, the whole room was small, except for a bed and a wooden table and two chairs next to the bed, there was no furniture, not even a window, only a magic lamp hanging on the wall at the head of the bed and on the wall at the door, so that she could barely see most of the corners of the room, the only thing worth caring about was that on the lampshades of the two magic lamps, there was a strange sign of a few black roses painted in a circle.

At least it didn't look like she was in a prison cell, which was reassuring to her.

Last night, when she was compressing the wind magic for the second time and preparing to storm the city gate, Cillus was pierced in the abdomen by the sword of honor that had just arrived, causing the already unstable wind magic mass to explode above her head.

The wounded Cheruth was blown out directly by the violent storm, and she was simply blown by the crack and floated in the air for nearly five minutes without any intention of manipulating the wind—well, maybe more than that, anyway, she only knew that she was still floating in mid-air five minutes later when she fainted from the severe blood loss caused by the severe injury to her abdomen.

And before she passed out, the only thing she remembered was that her consciousness, which was almost blurred, instinctively took out a few leaves of the old tree grandfather from the pocket of her waist and ate them, and then used the last of her strength to activate her copying ability...... When she woke up again, she was in this room.

Without getting up in a hurry to look around, Cheruth first checked her body, and Cheruth couldn't help but be glad that her twelve years of life in the Warcraft Forest had made her develop a good habit of eating a leaf from Grandpa Lao Tree no matter what injury she suffered.

The body is still weak, and the impact of blood loss and overuse of the ability to wake up the battle on her body really can't be recovered in a short time, but the external injury is basically healed, thanks to the blessing of the vitality brought by the leaves of the old tree's grandfather, there is not even a scar on the skin, so happy yes - this kind of mood is really not suitable for her......

While she was thinking, suddenly the door to the room opened, and two young women walked in, the one who came in first with a basin of water in her hand.

"Hey, she's awake. ”

The woman who came first couldn't help but scream when she saw Cheruth lying there with her eyes open.

The woman who was walking behind also saw Cheruth who had woken up, and her feet retracted as she had just stepped in.

"Well, I'll go to Mr. Kings. ”

When Mr. Gins' words were spoken, there seemed to be a trace of fear on the faces of the two women, and the woman who left the door after speaking, and the woman with the basin of water came to the bedside, put down the basin in her hand, and looked at Cheruth as if she were a little overwhelmed, and then lowered her head, and put her hands together uneasily, as if she was very embarrassed.

Fortunately, he copied the power of the old tree before he passed out, a pair of beast ears and tail are now gone, as long as he is not facing those who have seen his face, no one should believe that he is the little orc girl who "assassinated" Emperor Prud on the street yesterday.

However, she also needs to be careful, after all, she is wanted as a Nolan in Adventurer Town, but it seems that at least the Cult of Solan has not yet conveyed her wanted notice here in Kells City.

Thinking like this, Cheruth looked down and saw the soaked towel in the basin, this woman must be planning to take care of herself, right?

"That...... Thank you for taking care of me. ”

Chelus said and smiled at the woman to thank her, but the woman looked at her with a very strange look, as if there was something incredulous.

"Uh, what, what's wrong?"

Cheruth asked curiously, and the woman's expression became even more strange when she heard her question.

"Little sister...... Do you know what this place is?"

Where?

Cheruth shook her head honestly.

The woman still looked at Cheruth in strange light, and then pointed to the magic lamp on the wall, the black rose emblem on the lampshade to be precise.

Does that sign mean anything? Could it be that this Chamber of Commerce?

Seeing that Cheruth still looked puzzled, the woman frowned at first, and then seemed to understand something.

"Little sister, aren't you a native of Kells?"

Chelus was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Hmmm......"

The woman's eyes when she looked at Cheruth changed from strange at the beginning to sympathy, and she opened her mouth just about to say something, when suddenly there was a dull sound of footsteps from outside the door, and the woman quickly closed her mouth, lowered her head and stood on the edge of the bed without speaking.

Cheruth looked at the woman in confusion, then turned to look at the door of the room, and soon the door opened, and this time it was a fat uncle who looked like a merchant in luxurious clothes, with a black rose badge on the clothes on his chest, and behind him, the woman had just followed with her head down, and there was a little awe and fear on her face.

"Yo, wake up, yes, yes, it's good not to be a half-dead waste. ”

Chyruth, who just wanted to thank the fat man in front of her who seemed to have saved her life, swallowed back the words of thanks.

It seems that things are not quite what you think?

Seeing that Cheruth was not as frightened as she imagined, but stared at herself very calmly, the fat man and the woman next to the bed reacted a little strangely at first.

"What's going on?"

The fat man looked at Cheruth, as if he had thought of something, his face was a little gloomy, and his expression was a little more careful.

"I don't know, what do you call Miss......?

Cheruth was a little dumbfounded, what is it?

The fat man directly regarded Cheruth's very calm (in fact, he didn't understand the situation) expression as a backer behind him, you must know that this is the imperial capital of the Prud Empire, even if the business in his hands is not small, but after all, he can't afford to provoke those really powerful dignitaries, once the eldest lady of which family is this chick in front of him accidentally lost......

"Mr. King," said the young woman standing by the bedside hesitantly while the fat rich merchant was thinking, "I, I have just asked, this young lady is from outsider...... She hadn't heard of the Black Rose Chamber of Commerce......"

When Kings heard this, a relieved look immediately appeared on his fat face, and then he looked at Cheruth's eyes and regained the arrogance and a hint of lewd scrutiny when he first came in.

"Oh, it turned out to be a country girl from out of town, and it scared me...... However, the out-of-town ones are better, saving a lot of trouble. ”

Looking at the fat man named Kings, and then at the two women next to her, who were obviously a little beautiful but very submissive, Chelus couldn't help but have a very bad premonition.

"That...... Excuse me, what are you talking about the Black Rose Chamber of Commerce?"

Both women looked at Cheruth with a sense of sympathy in their eyes, and the fat man smiled very proudly and waved at the woman beside the bed.

"Haha, it's really a country girl who has never seen the world, you, give us a good explanation of our future valuables. ”

Are you talking about the precious goods of the future?

The corners of Cheruth's mouth twitched, and the woman's deep voice rang in her ears.

"This is, the Black Rose Chamber of Commerce, the largest ...... in Kells City Slave Exchange. ”
