Before actually leaving for the docklands in search of a chance to play, Joyce did some research beforehand, but found no bounty against him or Hunter.

In this way, he went to the Fragrant Tree Bar with confidence, after all, Roy the "Flame Lion" met here, maybe there was a new harvest this time......

Just as he was about to push the door in, the wooden door suddenly opened inside, and a small man walked out, nearly colliding with each other.

Why is this plot the same as last time...... Joyce was stunned for a moment, then reached out and grabbed the man, as he recognized the small boy as the one who had bumped into him last time...... Remember the boy named Barron.

"What are you running in a hurry?" He asked.

The boy, whose face was dusty and darker, raised his eyes to look at the two Joyces, bowed and apologized, and said:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm going to ...... now"

"I accept your apology, but you haven't answered my question yet."

Joyce grabbed the boy who was trying to escape, not because he wanted to make things difficult for him, he wasn't that boring, but he felt that he had only been to this bar twice, and he had bumped into each other twice, which was also a kind of fate.

"Friend, I'll treat you both to a drink, and I'll apologize to you on Barron's behalf."

When the boy was at a loss, a tall man came out and helped him out.

How does this person look familiar?

Joyce recognized it, the last time he came to the bar to inquire about information, there was a drunkard who shouted that he wanted to go to sea to become a pirate general, and invited himself to come on the ship, it was the man in front of him, but today he was not drunk, and he shaved his beard, which looked a lot more gentle.

How did the two of them get together...... And now it's like he's a bully...... Joyce secretly said helplessly and let go of his hand:

"Go ahead."

The boy named Barron immediately tried to run away, but was stopped by the man who was holding him up.

"Wait, let's not rush to leave."

Then he turned his gaze to Joyce:

"Two friends are adventurers?"

"So what?" Joyce said that he suddenly remembered that the bartender had introduced the man who had also been an adventurer.

The former adventurer said enthusiastically, "Can you take a moment to listen to a story from me?" ”

As soon as the words fell, before Joyce could respond, a mockery came from the bar:

"Pabloh, don't worry about that, come over and drink......"

"It's just that if there is no money to be made, a fool will help him ......"

Joyce was noncommittal about these assessments, and he asked aloud:

"Treasure story?"

The former adventurer, known as Pablo, shook his head, his expression showing compassion:

"It's a story of freedom and justice."

It's quite philosophical...... Since I'm not a professional adventurer, I'm interested in listening to your story, and Joyce was a little moved:

"Okay, let's talk while you drink."

But the former adventurer proposed, "Aren't you curious about what Barron is doing?" Why don't we go to his house and have a look, and maybe you'll feel more about my story. ”

Joyce looked the thin little boy in front of him up and down, his clothes were cheap and shabby, his face was like earth, his eyes were full of anticipation, and then he looked at the reformed former adventurer Pablo, and seemed to guess something, and finally agreed to his suggestion.

"Let's go."

The boy Barron bowed deeply: "Thank you, you are a good person. ”

If you listen to a story, you will become a good person, then this good person is too cheap...... Joyce couldn't help but sigh.

Pablo, a former adventurer, begins to tell the story in a bland manner, and the protagonist is the little boy who leads the way.

"His name is Barron, he is fifteen years old, he is an orphan, he has a sister who is seven years old, but he picked up the ......"

Joyce couldn't help but interrupt and said, "He can't protect himself when he picks it up, and he dares to pick up a smaller girl?" ”

Pablo nodded heavily: "That's the truth, these two children huddle together to keep warm and depend on each other for their lives." ”

"Until one day, when his sister was taken by a gang, broke a leg, and was trained to beg, Barron began to ask for help, but he had no money."

"You wouldn't know that much until I met you." Joyce said.

"You guessed it right." Pablo smiled: "I used to be an adventurer, but fortunately, I didn't regress too much and helped Barron successfully rescue his sister, but this kid actually wanted to save all the children who were enslaved by the gang!" ”

Joyce turned to Barron and asked, "Do you know those kids?" ”

"I don't know." Barron shook his head: "But Sally knows, she said that those children are just as pitiful as him, some are blind, some are disabled, eat only a little food a day, and are sent to all kinds of places to beg......"

"Sally is his sister's name." Former adventurer Pablo added.

Joyce nodded in understanding, then asked:

"But what does that have to do with you, you can't even take care of yourself and your sister."

Although it is not a child's fault, the facts of this world are so real and cruel, even if they are cold......

Barron kept his head down, and he rarely looked up at people, even when he spoke:

"Sally told me that she wanted those kids to be as free as she was."

Freely...... Joyce walked the rest of the journey in silence, and before reaching his destination, he asked the former adventurer Pabloh:

"That's why you're willing to help this kid."

The latter pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I can't help him, the boss of the gang is a very powerful and famous guy, I am not an opponent at all, I can only look for some people with a residual sense of justice to fulfill his dream like now...... By the way, you are the first adventurer to listen to the story without a direct refusal. ”

In front of me is a dilapidated building, which is said to be a building, but in fact it can only be regarded as a dangerous building, and when it rains, there will be no dry place in it at all.

Even in such a house, it was crowded with households, most of them women and children, but none of them were idle, they were busy with their own work.

Finding that Joyce and the others walked in, everyone subconsciously avoided a road, leaving room for a few people to put their feet, as if they saw a natural enemy in their eyes.

Barron walked over to a curtain hung with holes, and inside was a small bed, on which sat a little girl with a sallow complexion, also emaciated, with her right leg hanging limply on the side of the bed, with a few smooth-trimmed sticks tied to it, and still sitting in her hands handiwork, as if she were making matches, and did not seem to be slow.

She smiled and shouted, "Brother." ”

After that, he lowered his head and said cautiously: "Hello three masters." ”
