Charlotte ordered the monsters of the entire Temple of the Black Moon to search for traces of the mysterious woman, but found nothing, as if her previous disappearance was a direct teleportation out of the Temple of the Black Moon.

Charlotte wanted to go out to look for it, but found that Tobiros happened to come back, and saw that he was holding the crescent jade he needed, and he had to give up with an expression of asking for merit and reward.

Trying to maintain his inner calm, showing an indifferent face, Xia Luo took the crescent moon jade, which was extremely precious to him, and was so excited that he couldn't do it, but he could only forcibly suppress it, and then fell into thought.

He wondered if there was anything he had that wasn't valuable, at least it wasn't worth much to himself, but it was precious to this professional-level magician.

Wouldn't it be cool to throw away something that is useless to you, but useful to others, and then exchange it for infinite gratitude from others.

Then he thought about it!

Charlotte took out three vials of black potion from the Shadow Dragon's Lair, handed them to Tobiros, and said, "I think it's important to you right now. ”

Tobiros took the three bottles of potions that the mysterious powerhouse had given him, looked at them carefully, and couldn't believe it, because this was exactly one of the potions he needed most, the disguise potion.

"This, is this a disguise change potion? It's actually the highest level hibernation-grade change potion, you can maintain the face change effect for a week after taking one sip, and there are no side effects, which is too important for me who wants to hide my identity in every possible way. ”

"Are you really willing to give it to me, and it's still three bottles, because I didn't have to do much to get to the 17th floor except to wait for the slain Moon Wolf King to reappear. ”

Charlotte waved her hand as if she were throwing something that didn't matter to him.

In fact, this is also true.

With a nonchalant expression, he said, "Isn't it just a few bottles of top-notch transfiguration potion? Actually, I have a better gift for you." Compared to this gift, those three bottles of hibernation-grade disfigurement potions were nothing. ”

Once he had the Black Moon Mask, which could transform into other similarly sized bodies, the disguise potion that was also used to hide his identity was of little use to him, and it was nothing to give to Tobiros.

As for the gift that is more precious than three bottles of top-grade transfiguration potions, it is actually a place on the 18th floor of the Black Sky, which is very suitable for hiding and living, and there are also precious stone stalactites that can heal wounds.

If you are an average adventurer, it is almost impossible to explore that place.

But for him, who was the top player in the global ranking of the brood in his previous life, it was easy to find a suitable place in the teleportation directory of "Brood Arrival" in his previous life.

Charlotte told Tobirose about the cave where the stalactites contained healing products, and looked at him for thanking him in every way, smiled and shook his head, saying that it was nothing, and then planned to leave, because his mental energy circuit had been restored, and it was a bit of self-preservation.

The short circuit and intermittent problems of the remaining 10 mental energy circuits are more serious, and they cannot be recovered after a short period of waiting, and they must be prepared to take "moonshine".

But there is still a little problem to be solved in the preparation of "Moonlight", so I have to go back and ask the old man in the library of the Nianshu Union.

And he was very curious about the identity of the mysterious woman before, and wanted to go back to see Stephanie first, to confirm whether the identity of this woman was Stephanie, and what was going on with that Annie.

Therefore, the top priority now is not to wait for the natural recovery of the remaining 10 mental energy circuits, nor to waste time trying "moonlight", but to quickly leave the dark sky and return to Aston City to see how things are going.

......

Simon Square is the first stop to enter Aston City after coming out of the Black Sky Underground Labyrinth.

In an unknown corner of the crowded Grand Plaza, a little girl with a dirty face fell to her knees, and in front of her was a corpse wrapped in turf.

The little girl had a wooden sign on her chest with indecipherable letters written on it.

In fact, there is no need to recognize the meaning of these letters, just look at this scene to know what it is, probably another poor orphan whose parents died unexpectedly and tragically, and who was willing to sell himself into slavery to bury his parents.

No one wants to stop and take a second look, because such tragedies are all too common.

And most of them need to do their best just to live, and even a little too busy to take care of themselves, how can they help others?

The girl's eyes were already swollen from crying, and her dry eyes were even more hollow.

There was no sadness on his face, there was only numbness and despair for the world.

Not far from the little girl, there is a middle-aged woman who has been tormented by reality, crying about her missing daughter.

"Eva is my only daughter, so beautiful as a fairy, she cried and shouted to go to the street with me today, but as soon as I turned around, she was gone, and all I was left was one of her shoes. ”

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid she'll be taken away by the gang and sold to a brothel. ”

"Please, Adventurer, accept my employment and help me find my daughter, I am willing to be a cow and a horse and give everything I have, and tell me to do whatever I want. ”

At first, she hissed and cried as hard as she could, but it attracted some onlookers who knew that kindness was a virtue, and they pretended to sympathize with each other, and praised each other for their kindness.

But later, when I saw that the mother was just a few words over and over again, one or two yawned, and felt bored, so she left.

Later, no one cared that the mother had tried her best to cry dumbly.

At this moment, a teenager passed by the little girl and her crying mother, then stopped, looked at the vast sky, sighed, and retreated.

Charlotte knew that in this world, things like this were all too common.

Not to mention him, even a benevolent nobleman with the highest title, even the emperor of the Byzantian Empire, could not prevent such a scene from happening.

Because this is the sorrow of the times, this is the sorrow of history.

It is a truth that no one can save all the poor people who have suffered a tragic fate.

However, even though he knew that he couldn't save everyone, when he saw this scene with his own eyes, he still couldn't leave ruthlessly.

Because.

Once upon a time, there was a little boy who kept throwing small fish into the sea that had been swept up by a storm in a shallow puddle on the shore, because if he didn't do so, the little fish trapped in the puddle would dry up and die sooner or later.

But the problem is that there are so many trapped small fish that it is impossible for one person to pick them up.

It is impossible for a single person to save the lives of so many small fish.

Despair and inaction in the face of such a huge number of people in need of salvation is nothing more than the compromise, weakness and incompetence of adults who have been defeated by life.

The naïve little boy doesn't think about it, he knows he may not be able to save all the little fish.

However, he also knew that as long as he kept picking up, he could save this one, this one, this one, and this one, this one, this one......

For the rescued little fish, picking it up and throwing it back into the sea is a new life, and it is everything.

Thereupon.

There is no need to make a choice at all.

Charlotte crouched down in front of the little girl, touched her head, opened her little hand, and placed a silver coin in her palm.

The little girl clutched the silver coin tightly in her hand, fearing that it would slip away.

There was a glimmer of clarity in the hollow, dry eye sockets.

There was a glimmer of hope in his desperate and numb eyes.

Charlotte came to the mother who had lost her daughter and said, "I am Charlotte Augustine the adventurer, and I accept your employment, and the mercenary money is a copper coin, tell me your address." ”

After the mother said the address, with trembling hands, she took out a money bag from her bosom that looked like there was little money, and took out a dirty copper coin from it, and wanted to hand it to the adventurer in front of her, but because she was too excited, her hand shook, and the copper coin fell to the ground.

Fearing that the adventurer would refuse to accept the offer because of her actions, the mother hurriedly shook her hands and went to pick up the copper coins on the ground.

Charlotte smiled as the mother carefully picked up the copper coin and wiped it desperately with her cuffs, which were not much cleaner than the copper coin, before handing it to herself.

Charlotte left for most of the circle in the square of the Simon district before finding two members of the Yasi gang who were collecting protection money in the trading area.

Charlotte, who was a civilian in Crane not long ago, knew that the biggest human trafficking force in the Aston City gang was the Yasi gang.

Just as he was about to get close to the two gang members, Charlotte overheard a conversation that made him gasp.

"Selling yourself to bury your father is also a stall transaction, I really believe what you just said. ”

"Otherwise, that little girl accidentally got a silver coin dropped by a stupid hat, how can I find a good reason to grab the money?"

"Yade, you're right, you're so witty, no wonder the Locke cadres often praise you, saying that you are the best at collecting protection money, and you like to focus on those timid and fearful poor people, let me learn more from you. ”

"Aaron, you should learn more from me. But just now do you know what I find most ridiculous? Even that little girl didn't know where she had the courage to refuse to pay the protection fee of a silver coin at first, and said that it was given to her by the adventurer, who was she fooled? ”

Aaron: "yes, how can there be an idiot adventurer in this world who is stupid enough to help this kind of scum who is at the bottom of the world, and is not even a human being?"

Yard: "Hmph, that's not sensible! I'll have to break all ten of her fingers before I'm willing to give me the coin." But after the two kicks before I left, I guess it's almost impossible to die now, right? ”

Aaron: "Well, we dare not give what we want, isn't this looking for a fight?" By the way, let's go to An Lelin and enjoy it, didn't the girl we caught in the morning already sell it to An Lelin? I heard that the price is a silver coin, let's go to Lele together." ”

Yard: "Oh, you mean that girl named Eva is good-looking, and she is probably a sought-after item for a while." What a coincidence that Eva's mother was there begging adventurers to help her find her daughter. ”

"It's funny. I guess by the time she found some ignorant rookie adventurer, that Eva would have been fucked up a long time ago and thrown into the stinking gutter, haha. ”

As if something was shattered in her body, Charlotte felt a chill sweep through her body from somewhere in her body, and her body trembled violently uncontrollably.

Again, and again.

"Is just a silver coin going to cause her disaster? What's wrong with the world? It's my fault, it's all my fault. Ha ha. Hahaha. ”

Charlotte was laughing so hard that she was on the verge of crying.

The two elite members of the Yasi Gang who collect protection money suddenly laughed when they looked at the teenager next to them, but they laughed ugly, thinking that this teenager should be crazy, right?

Then the two of them laughed at the crazy boy and walked towards them.
