It didn't take much effort to enter the city, and the two found Sophia's whereabouts.

Alice Hotel.

That's right, it's the Alice Hotel that needs to be redeemed for a Golden Adventurer.

Although Sophia is not a gold adventurer, the things that Nock and Leo exchange can be used by others.

Therefore, when Leo learned that Sophia was coming to the royal city,

not only redeemed her for Alice's hotel status,

He also transferred the 4,900 gold coins on his card to Sophia's card.

For fear that she would suffer.

The two didn't go directly to Sophia, but took out the check-in qualification that Nock had exchanged.

Check-in at the front desk at nine o'clock,

It's just that Nock made a small request and chose the room number by himself.

So, Nock stayed in Sophia's opposite door as a guest.

Leo lives with Nock as a bodyguard.

The two washed off the dust on the road, changed into new clothes and went out.

Downstairs in the hotel lobby, Nock bumps into Sophia, who has returned from outside.

It's just that Sophia at this time, dressed up as a rich daughter,

It made Leo look a little dazed.

Especially her proud figure is set off by the half-sleeved Lolita skirt,

It becomes more radiant.

This can be seen from the performance of the men in the hall how attractive she is.

Nock, who was going to go to the Adventurers' Guild first to find out some news,

He walked directly towards Sophia with Leo.

"Oh, beautiful young lady, it's Jack Rice down there, I wonder if I'll be lucky enough to get acquainted with her?"

Nock looks like a playboy and stands in the way of Sophia.

This scene made angry expressions appear on the faces of the men in the hall who had been peeking at Sophia.

They haven't made a move yet, where did this playboy come out!

Just when all the men felt that Nock was going to be rejected,

Sophia looked Nock up and down a few times, and said with a coquettish smile, "Handsome Mr. Rice, Tina is honored to meet you.

However, Tina has something to go back to her room now, and I'm afraid she can't accompany her. ”

Nock took the initiative to walk up to Sophia and reached out to wrap his arms around Sophia's waist.

Sophia, who was a little surprised, said lightly: "It's good to go back to the room, if Miss Tina doesn't mind,

We can get to know each other in the room, and my favorite thing about meeting new people is Jack. ”

"Giggles, Mr. Rice is so bold! I like it, though. Then please, right? ”

With that, Sophia broke free from Nock's grasp and strode towards the stairs.

Seeing this, Nock whistled and raised his eyebrows defiantly at the men around him,

Chased after Leo.

"Cut, it turned out to be a courtesan! Vulgar. ”

"That is, at first glance, we are not serious women, we are clean men."

There is an atmosphere in the hall that "if you can't eat grapes, you can say that grapes are sour".

Although Nock and Sophia are despised by everyone,

But it didn't attract much attention.

After all, the little thing between a man and a woman, you and I want it, it's not a big deal.

What's more, this is the capital of romance, as long as it is "true love",

It doesn't matter whose wife it is, just be brave enough to love.

Is there less such a search for "true love" in aristocratic circles?

It's just that Sophia, a superb woman with a murder weapon,

It's still rare, which makes those men who start late a little regretful.

That's it, Nok and Sophia, who were mistaken for hooking up, with the escort Leo,

Entered Sophia's room.

Lock the door,

Nock's frivolous temperament suddenly converged,

Sophia's amorous appearance was also put away.

Nock couldn't wait to speak, "What the hell is going on, where is Jasmine now?" ”

Sophia walked to the wardrobe with a headache, opened the closet, and found a coat to put on.

After covering the spring color on his body, he opened his mouth to answer Nock's question.

"Father Lane, don't worry. Things are a bit complicated, I originally wanted to find out more information,

I didn't expect you to come so quickly, and there are some things I haven't asked clearly. Listen to me tell you slowly. ”

Then, Sophia began to tell the news she knew.

It turned out that when Sophia first arrived in Pali, she was very low-key.

By visiting the streets and alleys and various taverns,

I want to inquire about Freya and the others' actions after returning to the royal city,

and the whereabouts of Father Molière.

I didn't expect the news I wanted to inquire about to no avail.

But I heard unexpected news.

In a tavern frequented by adventurers, she hears an unexpected message.

A group of drunken adventurers said something at the celebration feast.

The task they completed this time was to serve as a guard for a slave trader.

Escort a group of slaves to Pali for auction!

If it was just such news, Sophia wouldn't have paid attention to it at all.

After all, the slave trade is legal in many countries.

Slave auction houses, once a legal industry, bought and sold slaves as commodities.

Slavery is an important phenomenon of the moment.

Slaves were seen as a type of property that could be bought and sold freely by their masters.

The source of slaves is usually war, pirate raids, debt bondage, family inheritance, etc.

Slave auction houses were usually held on the public market, just like the modern commodity market.

Slaves were displayed in the market for people to inspect and buy.

Once the slave is sold, the buyer can take the slave home and use it as his own property.

It's just that this kind of auction system, with the progress of society, is forced by moral public opinion,

The authorities of various countries put a fig leaf over the slave trade.

There is a special trading market for the slave trade,

They are usually located in the dirtiest and most messy slums in the city.

If there is a shortage of supply,

Slave traders could even abduct, steal, and coax the poor into their slaves in the slums.

Obviously, this adventure party, the so-called escort mission,

It was the task of transporting slaves.

Sophia is not interested in slaves and is about to leave,

only to hear a message that she had to stay.

One of the big drinkers suddenly scolded a girl they had picked up outside the Seine.

Said that they were almost implicated by that girl, and they failed in their mission.

As soon as this person mentioned it, the others scolded one after another, blaming a certain guy for being troublesome, and he shouldn't have picked up the girl in the first place.

As a result, the accused person was not convinced, and retorted that if he hadn't picked up the girl, how could they have made a lot of money on that girl?

He also scolded the girl and lied to them that his family had an adventurer's union in the village of Tarn.

It's a laughing death.

I've never heard of an adventure union holding a branch in the village.

In the end, the man scolded that the girl didn't want to save the slaves, so they sold her to the slave merchants of the caravan.

Let her be a slave for the rest of her life, and see how she still spoils their good deeds.

The ugly faces of a group of people,

made the people around him show disgust.

But Sophia heard the words of the village of Tarn and the little girl,

Plus also open the adventurer's union,

The information is very similar to that of little Jasmine that Nock ordered to investigate.

So, Sophia wanted to buy the name of a slave for the adventure party,

Let's talk to the adventure party.

In the end, I used a treat to inquire about the information I wanted.

What the little girl's name was, they didn't know.

But the little girl did claim to be from the village of Tarn, and had picked it up while they were camping near the city of Seine.

When she was picked up, it was at night, and the little girl was unconscious outside their camp as if she had fled.

There was something special about this girl, and they sold it for a big price.

No matter how much information there is, this adventure team didn't say it, and I don't know if it doesn't know or can't say it.

Anyway, even if they were drunk, they didn't mention anything else about the girl.

Instead, the name of the auction house that auctioned the slaves was given by Sophia.

Boutique auction house.

An auction house that claims to only sell fine products.

The name is somewhat vulgar,

But it's easy to understand and easy to remember.

So, in order to investigate whether the girl was the little Jasmine that Nock was looking for.

Sophia took out the Alice Hotel check-in license that Leo gave her before leaving,

Dressed as a rich lady and lived in.

No way, want to participate in the auction of the boutique auction house,

Admission tickets are mandatory.

Admission tickets are not available for sale.

Only for regular customers.

Of course, get a ticket through a regular customer,

Then when you complete a transaction, you automatically become a "regular customer" of the auction house.

For the next auction, the auction house will automatically notify and send out tickets.

So, Sophia goes by the pseudonym Tina Gareth,

The daughter of an upstart merchant from Champagne,

began to wander around Miss Wangcheng's rich family,

Trying to find someone who can take her to the auction.

But Sophia underestimated her lethality,

The rich lady of the royal capital is very hostile to Sophia, an exotic nouveau riche.

Even if Sophia deliberately flattered, what she got was a ridiculous taunt.

On the contrary, those rich boys are like bees to Sophia who see flowers,

I can't wait to surround her.

Sophia almost became the public enemy of Miss Wangcheng's circle!

Sophia was even considering whether to reach out to the men who were eligible to participate in the auction.

If Nock hadn't arrived in time, maybe Sophia would have suffered.

After all, she's a careless woman who only knows how to take risks,

Where will be the opponent of those veterans of the flowers.

I'm afraid that I won't have a place to cry if I suffer a loss.

After listening to Sophia's explanation, the two of them understood the current situation.

Nock's eyes were a little cold, and he asked coldly, "That is to say,

What kind of boutique auction house is Little Jasmine in now? Still being controlled as a slave? ”

Sophia didn't understand why Nok had murderous intent,

But he honestly replied, "It should be." I don't know much about that.

However, I have one more inquiry. ”

"What's the matter, say!" Nock's tone was a little unkind.

Sophia said cautiously: "After my investigation, the boss behind the boutique auction house,

It seems to be the Jim Victor we know. ”

"Bang!"

Nock slapped the table in front of him and roared, "He's looking for death!" ”

"Nock! Calm down! ”

Leo stepped forward and pressed his hand and persuaded him, "Don't make too much noise, lest you cause unnecessary trouble." ”

"Also, if Jasmine is really in Victor's hands, then we can't expose it, otherwise Jasmine will be dangerous.

It will also make it more difficult for us to rescue Jasmine!

If you want to save Jasmine, calm me down! ”

Leo's words finally persuaded Nock.

Nock blushed, panting, and sat unwillingly on the couch in the room.

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

The three of them were stunned for a moment, and Sophia reacted,

I tried to get up and open the door, but was stopped by Nock.

"I'm coming!"

Nock tugged at his clothes and pulled his collar a little messy,

Then he angrily walked to the back of the door, slammed open a crack in the door, and poked his head out.

I saw a waiter standing outside the door.

When he saw Nock open the door, he immediately smiled.

But before he could speak, Nock angrily asked, "What knock!" ”

In the face of Nock's questioning, the waiter's expression froze, and he said secretly: It's not good.

But he remembered the complaints of the other guests, and he stubbornly smiled and said:

"Well, dear guest, the guest downstairs has complained that there is a bit of movement in your room.

In order to avoid accidents, I'll take a look. ”

Nock glared at the waiter unhappily and scolded, "Are you sick?"

What's wrong with the young master and the woman moving a little! You still dare to disturb Young Master Ben!

Get lost!!! ”

"Bang!"

Nock retracted his head behind the door and slammed it shut.

Touched the gray waiter, and left in a bad mood.

Along the way, he cursed the guests who had nothing to do, causing him to be scolded.

The people who live here are either rich or expensive, and he can provoke them? Everybody come out to play,

Bringing lovers out to cheat abounds, which is not a strange thing at the Alice Hotel.

Even, the waiter has seen her husband take her lover to open the house,

When I went out, I saw my wife who had just finished cheating with her lover at the opposite door,

The two tacitly agreed without saying a word, and each left with his lover.

Later, the couple was like a bar, and they came together every time.

Then open two adjoining rooms and bring their respective lovers into the room.

Then, as if it was a competition, the guests in the surrounding rooms complained.

In the end, the couple was blocked by Alice and refused to allow them to move in.

The employees found out that the two were actually husband and wife!

So, since then, if there are men and women doing things, it's a little bigger.

They Alice Hotel doesn't care.

As long as it is not excessive, it is generally mainly to appease the emotions of other guests.

Instead of provoking errands.

After all, if this kind of thing is disturbed, it is always unpleasant.

So, Nock relied on his acting skills to get away with smashing the table.

After the big deal was discovered, it was said that it was too intense and damaged, which can be regarded as an excuse.

Sending the waiter away, Nock returned to his seat.

By this time, he had regained his former composure.
