When I traveled through time and became a player, I just wanted to commit suicide

Thrall opened his eyes in a daze.

"Yo, finally woke up."

A dull voice reached his ears.

He struggled to open his eyes wide, raised his head slightly, and then saw the magician who had dressed himself up.

The other person was sitting on an armchair, with his fingers crossed, looking at him leisurely.

Sal wanted to sit up, but the cold touch on his chest stopped him.

A silver halberd was pressed against his heart, as if it was about to pierce his heart at any time.

"Don't move, otherwise your life will be threatened." Li Shanren tapped the armrest of the seat with his knuckles and said indifferently.

"What do you want to do?"

Thrall gathered his strength and asked.

"This should be the question I want to ask you." Li Shanren stared at Sal closely, "Do you know Tifa? Or do you know this name? What is the purpose of sending people to find me?"

"Answer my question and I can consider letting you leave alive."

After hearing this, Sal was silent for a while and said, "There are some things that I can't say."

"I know, you are a slave."

Li Shanren had expected it.

Previously, when the man was unconscious, he had checked the back of the man's neck, and there was indeed a slave mark there.

"Then say everything you can."

Thrall pondered for a while, seemed to be organizing his words, and then asked a question first, "Are you looking for the girl named Tifa? So the information on the notice board in the Extraordinary Hall was posted by you?"

"Yes." Li Shanren nodded and admitted that there was nothing to hide now.

And the other party must have known about his existence through that notice board, otherwise he would not have entrusted Ezio to search for him or even test him.

"Then, I can only tell you that she is not in Olin City now." Thrall said.

"Where did she go?" Li Shanren frowned slightly and asked.

"The ruins in the west." Thrall answered honestly.

"remains?"

Li Shanren rubbed his chin and thought for a while, and soon remembered that the Southern Monthly Newspaper he saw a few days ago seemed to have recorded something about the ruins in the west.

[Mysterious ruins have been unearthed in the west of Olin City, perhaps a mausoleum built by an ancient supernatural being! 】

After recalling this information, Li Shanren changed his eyes and continued to stare at Sal and asked: "Why does she go there?"

"Because she's short of money, a lot of money," Sal replied.

"Lack of money?"

Li Shanren held his chin and frowned.

He knew that Tifa's financial situation had never been good, otherwise she wouldn't have worked as a bartender in a tavern.

After all, in a remote place like Farm City, it is not always possible to receive a commission suitable for her, so accepting a commission in the Extraordinary Guild and completing the mission can only be said to be extra money at best.

It can only be said that although Tifa's savings situation is worrying, it is not yet bankrupt.

Now the person in front of me said that Tifa was short of a lot of money. What kind of money could it be?

Sal took the initiative to help him answer this question, "She needs to redeem a few slaves, but the money she has is far from enough to pay for them."

"Slave?!" Li Shanren opened his eyes slightly.

The word managed to arouse his sensitive nerves.

The only slaves around Tifa...should be Alice and the others.

If Tifa had taken Alice and the others with her when escaping Farm City.

But the owner of the slave mark should be Tifa, unless Tifa voluntarily gives up and transfers control of the slave mark.

Otherwise, even if someone takes Alice and the others away, it won't change this.

How can there be any reason to snatch someone else's slave and then let the original owner redeem it? !

Even in the eyes of the Sloth Cult, this kind of behavior is extremely bad and is an extortion that will destroy the slave trading market.

Unless... the slave made some mistake with others and was detained by others. The master needs to make amends and pay for redemption.

If that's the case, that's reasonable.

But why would Alice and the others be detained?

Li Shanren narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "How many slaves does she need to redeem? How much does it cost in total?"

"There are five in total, and they cost five hundred gold ruso." Sal replied.

"Five hundred gold ruso?!"

Li Shanren was slightly shocked at first, and then changed his focus, "Only five?"

Twelve children, only five left? !

Li Shanren suddenly felt a little confused.

This this......

Although they didn't get along for long, he saved every one of them.

He also thought that now he was somewhat capable and could afford to raise twelve children so that they could receive a better education and learn a skill.

After Li Shanren obtained the magic that could lift the slave mark in the border area, he released these children to freedom and let them choose the life they wanted.

And now, there are only five left...

Where are the seven more?

Li Shanren stared at the mahogany floor in a daze.

I don’t know whether Alice belongs to the five people who survived by chance, or the seven people who have lost their lives...

"I heard that she only needed to redeem five people at first, but then I heard that another slave merchant seemed to have four slaves that she needed to redeem, and that slave merchant offered her a higher price."

Sal added.

"Four more!"

Hearing this, Li Shanren's pupils gradually returned to color.

The number of children who were likely to lose their lives dropped sharply from seven to three, which made him feel a little better and would not make him feel depressed and panicked.

"The other five slaves are in your master's hands. Who is that big businessman? Can't you tell me this? Or do you mean you don't know?" Li Shanren stood up and stared at Sal.

Sal hesitated for a while, then hesitantly said: "That big businessman is... the largest slave trader in Olin City, Mr. Lorante Fisk. I heard that he has additional channels and can obtain Absolutely extraordinary 'goods'."

"Additional channels..." Li Shanren narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Is the Laurent you are talking about a bloated man who held an auction at the slave market yesterday?" Li Shanren asked.

"Well, yes, that's him." Sal nodded and confirmed, "There are rumors that every time Mr. Lorante goes out, he needs to be carried into a carriage, and his carriage has six horses."

"I understand."

Li Shanren sat back in his seat, tapped the armrest with his knuckles, closed his eyes slightly, and began to think.

Now, there were two options before him.

First, go to the ruins to the west to look for Tifa, find out the whole story, and then consider the next step.

Second, go directly to the owner behind the man in front of you and redeem the five children first, and he happens to have more than 500 gold ruso, and there will be a lot left after redeeming the people.
