omniscient god

At the gate of the city, the people coming and going were of mixed races, and He Le even saw undead and vampires.No one here will be surprised or afraid of them, at most they will cast indifferent eyes, pass them by, and get used to it.All races seem to be like the common aborigines here.

The chaotic eight elements condensed in the sky above Hadfield City, and the characteristics of all elements were twisted one after another, covering the sky of the city with a gray mist.

Most of the buildings in the city are made of volcanic wood, a material that looks no different from ordinary wood during the day.Because it contains the element of fire, it emits sporadic orange light at night.

"Night is the real world of Hadfield City! Don't miss it!" Vincent said happily to He Le.

He Le seemed to understand but not understood, followed the caravan into the city, passed through the clock tower, and came to a bustling market.

"Hey, this little brother of the Knights of Light, you look so handsome, do you want to try grilled lizards? It's delicious and juicy, the meat is strong, and the aftertaste is endless! A skewer only costs three gold coins!" A human uncle selling skewers Attentively sell to He Le.

He Le stared at the purple lizard on a bamboo stick, looking suspicious no matter what.

"Then why don't you try this sweet potato from the El Nuo Plateau? Dwarves like to eat it, it's good for intelligence, it's suitable for this handsome boy of the Knights of Light to make a casual snack! One only needs five gold coins!"

Another aunt also came to sell, and the two talked endlessly and enthusiastically.Seeing this, other traders rushed forward, causing traffic jams, and the caravan was unable to move forward for a while.

? !

what happened!He Le roared inwardly.

He soon realized it was because of his order uniform, and burst into tears.

Three gold coins for grilled lizards, five gold coins for fruits... Only three gold coins are used to stay in a hotel in the capital...

This price is too high!It seems that the Knights are big fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered in their eyes.

He Le, who was born poor, categorically refused to be ripped off, and squeezed out of the vendors abruptly.

After finally walking out of the market, they finally arrived at the headquarters of the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce.

Vincent asked the guards to unload the goods, paid the negotiated reward to the two magisters, found a corner where no one would be disturbed, and invited He Le to sit down.

"This is Hadfield's specialty, Xin'an tea." Vincent made a cup of tea for him.

He Lezheng was thirsty, so he immediately took a sip, but was choked and coughed again and again.

It's called tea, but it tastes spicy, like pepper soup.

He Le stared tearfully at the light yellow tea in the cup, unable to complain.

"This city advocates money, wine, meat and sex. It is a city of desires. Even if it is called tea, it is not just ordinary tea." Vincent explained with a smile.

"It's really different..." He Le tried to drink two more sips, and reluctantly accepted.

"The incident you are investigating is related to this city." Vincent stepped into the topic, "Hadfield City is a chaotic trading city, where slave trading is allowed, do you understand what I mean?"

He Le nodded hesitantly.

"An underground auction is held here every night. In addition to common equipment, potions, and props, slaves are also common goods. Most of the missing people will eventually gather here, circulated through the auction, and become Rich man's plaything."

Speaking of this, Vincent looked around to make sure there was no one there, and then continued to He Le: "The Lord of Hadfield City—Lori, is the leader of all this."

"Did the Pope not interfere with the dark transactions in this place?" He Le was a little surprised.

"Hadfield City has a long history, and the formation of the underground black market can be traced back to the dawn of time. The church may not be able to completely remove the filth here."

The information Vincent provided was crucial, and he instantly pointed out a clear path to the clueless incident.In order to find out the truth, it is imperative for He Le to participate in the underground auction.

"When will the auction start?"

"I knew you would want to participate, so I rushed back overnight." Vincent said as he took out a card from the space ring. There was a rose-shaped gold pattern painted on the delicate black card. "There is an auction tonight. Yes, this is an invitation."

"What a shame..."

"This is the entrustment reward, please be sure to accept it." Vincent stuffed the invitation letter into He Le's hands.

Speaking of this, He Le couldn't refuse any more, accepted the invitation seriously, and expressed his sincere thanks to Vincent.

If this matter is resolved successfully, Vincent will be credited.

With the help of enthusiastic businessmen, He Le immediately went to the venue of the auction that night - the underground market of the ancient bell tower.

The carriage was driving in the night, and He Le opened the curtains.

The symbol of Hadfield City - the ancient clock tower stands in the western suburbs of the city.This bell tower has a history of thousands of years. The surface of the big clock is painted with the magic coat of arms of the holy rank magister, and it keeps turning day and night.

The clock tower rang the bell at nine o'clock in the evening, announcing the beginning of the night in Hadfield City.

The lights of thousands of houses in the city, together with the unusual light of the volcanic wood, cast a warm and mysterious veil on the chaotic city.And now He Le is about to get in touch with the "darkness" that this city is allowed to see, to see the true face under the veil.

The coachman yelled, the copper bell jingled, and the carriage reached its destination.

An invitation letter only represents one person, and Vincent handed over his own invitation letter to He Le, so he did not participate together.

The auction venue was located on the third basement floor of the Bell Tower. At this time, He Le had already taken off the uniform of the Knights and put on a plain uniform.He handed the invitation letter to the waiter at the door, and then entered the venue.

There were rich and powerful famous families gathered in the venue, and He Le looked around, almost all of them were human races, including several royal families at the Wannian celebration dinner.

He Le was seated according to the number on the invitation letter. He Le was seated in the back row, but had a good view, facing the main stage.Not long after sitting down, the lights of the venue were turned off, and a beam of light illuminated the stage, forming the only focus.

The city lord Lori appeared on the stage and gave a welcome speech.

"Welcome everyone, this week's auction is about to start, and today I, Lori, will personally host it."

This middle-aged gentleman with a big belly and a beard spoke confidently and calmly: "I think everyone must be very curious..."

He pretended to be mysterious and smiled, and his impassioned speech encouraged everyone present: "Tonight's finale performance will bring you unexpected surprises! However, I beg for your understanding now, the main course will not be announced until the end."

"Next, present the first auction item tonight, the 'Berserker Bear Leather Coat' provided by the Moore family!"

While everyone was concentrating on the auction items on the stage, a person appeared beside He Le.

"Sorry, I'm late." The man said softly, "Excuse me, let me take the seat next to you."

Some people will be late on this occasion...

He Le thought about it, and when he looked up, he was dumbfounded and speechless.

"..."

"Miss me?"

Thirteen was still wearing his white windbreaker, and his coquettish scarlet pupils were particularly conspicuous in the dark.He shook his hand in front of He Le's dull eyes, trying to recall his brain.

"--Well!"

When He Le realized it, he almost cried out, but Shisan quickly covered his mouth.

"Let me in, I'll be next to you." He repeated with a smile.

He Le took two deep breaths and forced himself to calm down.In order not to cause a commotion at the venue, He Le hurriedly seated him.

"Why are you here? Is there some conspiracy? The promise to tell me the truth last time should be fulfilled!" He Le asked three questions one after another.

"Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you." Thirteen said, "...don't look at me like that, I won't run away." Seeing He Le tightly gripping his sleeves, his black eyes were dead Staring at him, Shisan actually smiled happily.

"I don't know if you will use any space magic to come and go without a trace like before..." He Le said dissatisfied.

Hearing this, Thirteen leaned on He Le's shoulder, narrowing his red eyes slightly: "Now we are so close, I can't escape, you can catch me at any time."

Is this person being coquettish?He Le thought seriously, shuddering at his own thoughts.

"Are you here to participate in the auction?" He asked, twisting away, trying to stop Thirteen.

"Of course." Shisan made an inch of progress. Wherever He Le hid, he would lean on He Le's shoulder with a deadpan face.

"What on earth do you want..." He Le was helpless.

"I'm so close, so you can feel safe." Thirteen said, "I can't use the transfer device alone at such a distance."

It's like digging a hole for myself to jump in...

There are reasons and evidence, but He Le cannot be convinced.He was skeptical, hesitated for a moment, and finally acquiesced in his behavior.

At this time, the first auction item "Berserker Bear Leather Clothes" was won by a tall and burly warrior with [-] gold coins.

The second auction item was subsequently presented.

A few young and beautiful orc slaves were shackled on the stage like goods with their hands and feet in shackles, curled up and shivering under the spotlight.

Because of her good looks, the bids came one after another.After a while, it was won by a seductive human nobleman at a high price of 50 gold coins. The nobleman saluted the guests present proudly.

He Le was shocked. A high-end leather armor only cost [-] gold coins, and the price of an orc slave was as high as hundreds of thousands. However, this price did not daunt the bidders, even if they spent a lot of money, they would not hesitate to buy it.

Where did such a bad tradition come from?

Next, slaves from the Human Race, the Elf Race, and the Sea Dwelling Race were presented on the stage, and they were all quickly taken away.

Slave goods are in high demand here, and He Le can't help but think of the hostile eyes of the elves, and the endless hatred of Senator Jimina for the human race.There must be a reason for things to happen. The elves and the human race have been hostile for thousands of years, and they did not hesitate to oppose the signing of the peace treaty. It seems that it is all reasonable.

The human race not only attacked its compatriots, but also did not spare other races.On the surface, the restraint of the prohibition order, on the contrary, promoted the release of the long-suppressed desire of the nobles, which was exposed in the underground auction.

"Why hasn't such an underground transaction been banned?" He Le couldn't help asking Shisan.

"Because the human race is greedy, the weak yearn for power, and the poor yearn for money. What about the strong and the rich? Without the weak and the poor, how can they highlight their 'strong' and 'rich'. The birth of slave culture is one of its representatives , as long as the human race is still greedy, then slaves will exist forever." Thirteen Hele answered patiently.

He Le didn't speak anymore, his attention was attracted by the stage.

Because a new auction item was soon presented at the venue, and what was placed on the luxurious display shelf was a dragon scale armor!
