Chapter 3267 Black Market
Originally Ellie wanted to come and go quietly, but because of Captain Meld's coquettish manipulation, they had to become famous---this is not a good thing for Ellie, but Fortunately, Ellie used magic to reduce the sense of existence of herself and others, and escaped the siege and interception from the Adventurer's Guild.
After all, they didn't come here to chat and drink tea with some adventurer guild, but to have important things to do.
Now that the Great Maze has been breached, for Ellie, the only thing left to do is to find the group of child abductors. Originally, she wanted to investigate leisurely. But now it looks like I have to get it done quickly and get out of this damn place.
As for how to find this group of child abductors, Ellie is not helpless, not to mention that the prophecy mage is good at finding things, even without magic, she has a wealth of experience. After all, these children are going to be caught and sold, and selling means there is a market, and if there is a market, there will be a transaction, and if there is a transaction, there will be buyers and sellers, so it is impossible to keep it completely confidential.
And this kind of thing, most people will definitely not know, but as long as you find the right and suitable person, you can get information.
Like now.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
The ear-piercing screams echoed in the dark and narrow space, Ellie let go of her hand, and then saw a man collapsed against the wall, his eyes rolled white, his body twitched uncontrollably, and his mouth was still drooling— ——From the way he looked, it was obvious that it was impossible to regain his sanity.
But to Ellie, it doesn't matter.
"It has been found."
"Really?"
"That's right."
Ellie nodded.
"The venue is underground in the tourist area. It is an underground auction held by an underground organization called the Cemetery in this city. They will bring the abducted children to the auction venue and then conduct the auction. The participants in the auction are all from all over the world. tourists, and they are all big shots..."
Speaking of this, the corners of Ellie's mouth twitched slightly.
"So, we can make a big fuss."
"give it to me!"
Nana also clenched her fist and swung it hard.
"I will never let go of those guys who dare to abuse children!"
"I see."
Xiaobai also nodded, and said in a rare way that although she is afraid of the society, she still has the bottom line of being a human being. Anyway, it's fine if you don't know about child trafficking. Now that you know, then Xiaobai doesn't Will let them go.
What's more - for Xiaobai, the experience value of killing people is actually higher.
Only Yue didn't particularly care about this kind of thing, but since Ellie said she wanted to save people, she naturally wouldn't object.
It's going to be a very memorable night for the city's underground.
With the first night lights on, the noisy city during the day gradually became quieter, the bustling pedestrians on the streets disappeared, and the calm and peaceful atmosphere replaced the bustle of the day and became the main theme of the city.
But underground, the rowdy game is just beginning.
In the auction venue that looks like a drama stage, hundreds of people wearing masks are sitting silently, the dazzling crystal lights illuminate the entire venue, and everyone is staring at the center of the stage, accompanied by As the "commodities" were brought up one by one, they silently raised the number plates in their hands to bid. Although these people seemed to be trying their best to conceal their identities, judging from the fancy clothes they wore, these people Obviously rich or expensive.
"Everyone, the next one to play is a rare treasure!"
The master of ceremonies of the auction also tried his best to warm up the atmosphere. He shouted loudly and made gestures. Soon, the staff of the auction venue walked out of the edge of the stage pushing a glass water tank, and looked at the people in the water tank. The scene, the guests couldn't help but exclaimed.
What I saw in the sink was a girl about four years old. She had long emerald green hair and looked quite cute. However, at this moment, the girl's feet were shackled and sank in the sink.
If it were human beings, they would have been drowned already. But this girl is not human. On the contrary, judging from her fin-like ears and the membrane between her fingers, she is a kind of demihuman—that is, a member of the sea people.
This race can live in water and has a beautiful appearance. Since they only appear in the sea, it is even more difficult to capture than the demi-human race who live in seclusion in the forest. Because of this, when seeing this little girl of the sea race At that time, everyone became excited.
"As you can see, this is a child of the Sea People! Now, please bid..."
"boom!!!"
However, before the master of ceremonies could finish his words, the ceiling above his head burst suddenly, and the roaring stones fell downwards, directly hitting the master of ceremonies below——judging from the scattered blood, this guy was obviously hopeless.
This sudden scene startled all the guests present, but before they figured out what happened, they saw Ellie sitting on the broom slowly descending from the hole, her eyes narrowed , scanning the guests at the auction venue like watching maggots, and snorted coldly.
"Hey, who are you!"
"Come down immediately!!"
Those who can conduct an auction in such a place are naturally not ordinary people. Soon, dozens of men in black surrounded the entire stage.
"You dare to attack the 'cemetery', are you impatient?"
"cemetery?"
Hearing this, Ellie frowned.
"In this case, then I will let your 'graveyard' live up to its name."
While speaking, Ellie raised the magic wand in her hand, and the next moment those men in black who had surrounded her flew up instantly, they screamed and flew to the sky in all directions, and then burst open with a "bang" , I saw blood mixed with internal organs and minced meat scattered down, dyeing the entire auction venue blood red in the blink of an eye.
"—————————!!!"
At this time, the guests who participated in the auction obviously realized that the situation was not good. They screamed and stood up, turning around and trying to escape. But it is a pity that their retreat has long been blocked.
"Get the hell out of here!!!"
Nana clenched her fist tightly and threw it out, knocking the guests rushing out in front of her to the ground like a bowling ball, and then kicked them back with a flying kick. Then I saw Nana turn around, her black pointed tail raised high, and then a flash of lightning flashed from it, hitting the guests directly. Black smoke fell to the ground.
"You, who are you guys!!"
At this time, several men in black also rushed in from the entrance on the other side. Looking at the scene in front of them, their faces were also livid.
"Do you know that you dare to fight against the cemetery......"
However, before the men in black could finish their words, a flash of sword light suddenly flashed, and the great sword emitting icy cold light swirled down from the sky, cutting all the men in black into pieces. I saw Xiaobai standing upside down on the ceiling, holding the Jue in one hand, and stretching out the other. Below, the giant sword chased and killed the men in black as if they had souls, cutting them into pieces mercilessly.
At this time, Ellie also came to the sink, looking at the little girl inside, she stretched out her magic wand and waved it lightly, and then saw that the shackles that were originally tied to the little girl's feet were untied, and then the little girl came out like this It floated out of the water and fell into Ellie's arms.
"Are you all right? Little sister?"
Looking at the girl in front of her, Ellie asked softly, but the little girl seemed to be frightened, but just stared at her blankly, without saying a word.
Ellie didn't mind about it, she just stretched out her hand and gently covered the girl's eyes, and then the little girl fell into sleep like this. Ellie, on the other hand, wrapped her body in a cloak, and slowly flew up with the girl in her arms. Accompanied by her movements, a bright red magic circle emerged from under Airie's feet, and soon spread to the entire theater. Seeing this scene, Nana and Xiaobai quickly pulled away and left. After the two left the auction venue, Ellie raised her head and looked at the ceiling in front of her.
"Then, let's make a fuss."
As the voice fell, the next moment, a beam of light suddenly erupted, devouring the entire theater, and then rose directly into the sky, tearing apart the dark night of the entire city.
For Ellie, this event finally came to an end.
Well, just for them.
But for others, that's clearly not the case.
"Miss Allie..."
Seeing the silver-haired witch sitting opposite him as if nothing had happened, Irva, the president of the Foss City Adventurers' Guild, twitched.
"You know why I called you here?"
"Is it because we broke through the sixty-fifth floor of the Great Labyrinth?"
"Of course it's... No, what happened last night, do you have any clues?"
"last night?"
Ellie blinked.
"Did something happen last night?"
"An explosion of unknown cause has occurred in the Foss tourist area."
Irva deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the words "unknown reason", while Ellie just picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea silently.
"Oh, and then?"
"After the investigation, we found out that it was the location of Foss's underground organization cemetery..."
"Ok…………"
"The other party didn't know what method they used to completely destroy the old nest in the cemetery, and many people were involved in it and died."
"That's really a pity..."
Ellie's voice was plain, almost like an actor reading a line, and seeing her like this, Irva also had a headache.
"Then we discovered that the cemetery has been buying and selling children here... and just last night, your companion, Miss Yue, sent a group of children here for protection... Those children claimed that they were arrested Let's go, and then kidnapped and sold here."
"Well, so?"
"So......... May I ask what this matter has to do with you?"
"I don't know what you're talking about, Mr. Ilva."
Ellie smiled.
"Yue just accidentally met a group of lost children on the street, and then sent them here for protection out of good intentions. We don't know about the cemetery, and we don't know about the kidnapping of children. All of this is probably just a coincidence... ...Besides, do you have evidence to prove that we have something to do with this matter?"
"........."
It's okay to be weird!
Seeing Ellie's confident look, Irva was completely speechless. Everyone was dead, and there were no witnesses. Where could they find evidence?
"...Miss Ellie, I'm telling you this matter very seriously, because among the victims, there are many nobles and businessmen who came to Forss to travel..."
"I also tell you very seriously that we have nothing to do with this matter."
Of course Ellie knew that those people were the participants in the auction, but it was none of her business, since corpses couldn't speak anyway.
As the saying goes, if there is no sale, there will be no killing, so if you kill all the buyers, then there will be no sellers.
"........."
Seeing Ellie like this, Irva also knew that there was no way to say anything, so he could only sigh helplessly.
"In that case, then, I hope you can help me complete a commission."
Then, staring at Ellie, he spoke.
