God's family

To catch up with the float in the crowd was actually not as easy as Roger and others imagined. When the crowd finally found the float, it had already completed its mission.

The girls on the float had long disappeared, and only a few middle-aged men and women were cleaning. Roger and the others looked at each other helplessly, and stepped forward to ask the whereabouts of the girls.

"Why are you asking about this?" The slightly fat aunt who was holding a rag scanned Roger and the others with scrutiny and asked back.

"This..." Roger scratched his hair, and Leon grabbed Laicant over without saying a word. His hearty and lovable smile softened the aunt's expression, "It's because of my brother! He It fell in love with a girl at first sight, so we asked him for it!" Leon put his arm around Lacent's shoulder, and smiled shyly, "Look at his dumbfounded look, this is the first time he's been attracted to a girl , as a brother, it is naturally incumbent on you, big sister, please help us!"

Celebrations have always been a hotbed for cultivating love. It is not uncommon for young men and women to fall in love at first sight at the celebrations. Influenced by this warm atmosphere, everyone is happy to see this development.

Under Leon's winking and pleading, the aunt finally lost her composure, smiled, and looked at Lacent kindly, "What does that girl look like? There are several beautiful girls on our float!"

"Flax-colored hair, a little long, slightly curly, brown eyes, about this tall." Lacente replied in a rare and extremely cooperative manner, raising his hand to compare with Roger's height - among girls, This is also relatively tall.

"Oh, it's Isabella!" The aunt immediately recognized who Nexant was describing, called out a name, and then apologized, "Sorry, if it's her, I really don't know where she is .”

"What's going on?" Leon asked.

"She is not from Ayntes, she is said to be a traveling dancer. A girl we originally selected was unable to come because of illness. We saw that Isabella is beautiful, can dance, and has a cheerful personality. She is lively, so I let her replace the original girl." The aunt threw the rag aside regretfully and rubbed her hands, "The float stopped just now, she completed the task and left after taking the hire money, although she should Still in the city of Ayntes, but we don't know where she went..."

Everyone looked at each other helplessly. It was a waste of time to find a float in such a big city, let alone a girl whose whereabouts were unknown.After thanking the aunt, they left and accepted her blessing that "lover will eventually get married, and even twists and turns are just tests given by the gods", and began to discuss what to do next.

"Now there are two options: one is to find her separately. She is a dancer and may dance on the street. The goal should be relatively large. Of course, it is also possible that she got the money and went shopping or went out of the city directly; the second is It is to go to the underground black market auction on the line of the thieves' union, and then look for opportunities to get close to the lord Ain." Roger laid out two paths and asked the others for their choices.

In fact, Roger himself was quite entangled in what to do. On the one hand, he wanted to go to the underground auction to see if he could get back his stolen items—but since Leon said that if Lesant returned to the imperial capital safely, He will make up for Roger's loss, so Roger is not too persistent about it. On the other hand, he has not completely withdrawn from his status as a small citizen, and he really has a great mentality about going against a big noble like the lord pressure.

"Go to the auction. Finding someone now is no different from finding a needle in a haystack, and I don't think it's possible for a human girl to control a monster from attacking a village." Theodore pressed his chin and spoke—for his first time Theodore is still quite persistent about the information obtained "using human methods", "and if Lacent remembers correctly, if the girl is about the same height as Roger, she should not be the one who sneaked into the temple, that person She's half a head taller than Roger, and doesn't look like a woman in terms of body shape."

"I also think that the girls on the float are like ordinary people. The only suspicious thing is that Laycent's lack of thinking is more like the familiar feeling of love at first sight..." Leon muttered in a low voice, then raised his head. voice, "So I support finding that girl."

Roger: "...you can swallow this kind of causal relationship back to your stomach, and just talk about the result is enough."

With the unanimous (?) approval of everyone, the suspiciousness of the traveling dancer named Isabella dropped again and again, and finally lost to the black market auction of the Thieves Guild.

No. 403 East Street is a very ordinary-looking house. It doesn’t look very big from the outside. Roger went up and knocked on the door. The door opened, and a well-dressed young man who looked like a servant invited them in. , directly to the hidden door in the basement.

"Now, may I ask, do you want to auction the goods or plan to buy them?" the guide asked politely.

"Auction things." Roger, who was walking in the front, took out a small blood bottle from his bag and shook it, "This is what we are going to auction, a precious alchemy item, which can quickly restore physical strength after drinking it, and has almost It has the same effect as the priest's healing technique!"

Except for Theodore, who has no common knowledge of human society and culture, both Lacente and Leon expressed their amazement at this magical little blood bottle. Of course, Leon also doubted how Roger could continuously take it out of his bag. Such precious and mysterious things, even suspecting that he has another identity as an alchemist.It's a pity that after several days of observation and finding that Roger had neither the time nor the props to make alchemy, Leon finally locked this question deep in his heart due to the relationship with Lyonte.

"Really?!" The guide obviously had never seen such a thing, and after discussing with the gatekeeper in a low voice for a while, he opened the secret door.

Behind the secret door is a staircase winding downwards. Candles are lit on both sides of the staircase, reflecting a faint halo.The guide politely invited them to the VIP room of the auction, and asked them where they got this thing from.

"We are adventurers, you should be able to see it." Roger had already thought up his rhetoric, and while looking in amazement at the unique splendor after passing the descending stairs, he replied, "We accidentally broke into Manlai In the depths of the forest... I was in danger, but fortunately I was rescued by this elf who happened to be passing by..." After gesturing to Theodore, the elf who was walking beside him, Roger continued to talk about his thrilling adventure, his eyes were full of love for money. "...Finally, we were lucky enough to find a house that was probably abandoned by an alchemist, and this red medicine was found there, with notes beside it describing its efficacy... Later we met We tried it when we were in World of Warcraft, and it was indeed effective. If we were not particularly short of money, we would definitely not want to sell it."

In fact, both Roger himself and the people who lead the way know that this statement is false. The former vividly interprets the money-greedy face—or it is the true color of the role—to boast as much as possible about how hard-won this thing is. The preciousness of the goods in order to sell them at a higher price, and the latter is not surprised by this kind of exaggeration-many sellers like to make up a nice story to deceive others, to prove how precious the things in their hands are, and as a The intermediary in charge of the auction, they don't care about this kind of exaggeration, they even like it, as long as it is true and effective, then it is enough.

"You said that you have tried this bottle of potion, and it is indeed effective, right?" The guide smiled politely.

"Yes, yes." Roger's eyes revealed a trace of guilt, and he nodded repeatedly.

"Personally, I believe your words very much." The guide showed sincerity, "But for the sake of safety, we have to do another experiment and verify it with our own eyes. Is this okay?"

"...but...but I don't have many such things in my hand, only a little..." Roger struggled, his expression distressed.

"We only need a little bit. If there is no experiment to prove that it is effective, we will not be able to conduct an auction for you. After all, we also need to be responsible to the buyer." The guide still smiled politely.

Roger struggled, then pretended to discuss a few words with Leon in a low voice, finally gritted his teeth and nodded like cutting flesh, "Okay, I know, I can give it a try! ——Only a little bit, don't use it too much too much!"

"Please rest assured, we will conduct experiments in front of several of you." The guide nodded in satisfaction, asked them to sit down, waited for a while, turned and left, and brought back a wounded orc after a while.

The orc named [Selvoff] was obviously seriously injured. After being dragged into the house, he could only struggle slightly like convulsions, without the slightest resistance at all. From HP In terms of value, it is almost as if it is on the verge of death.

This was the first time Roger had seen an orc. It had to be said that the orc whose body was covered in silver-gray fur and stained with blood gave him a deep impression.Although the wildness of orcs makes all races look down on them, but the strength and single combat ability of orcs are well known. Even now, this orc is still struggling as if he has not given up hope. His muscles were tense, and his ferocious golden eyes were cold and fierce. If he could kill someone with his eyes, everyone in the house would have died by now.

"This...is this...?" Roger asked tremblingly, looking frightened, "How could there be orcs—"

"This is one of the auction items we originally planned, but unfortunately it is too disobedient, so we hope it will be better... Unfortunately, it seems to be a bit heavy-handed, and it has already broken, so I brought it here as an experiment. If this If a bottle of red medicine can revive it, that would be great, and if it has no effect or has the opposite effect, it will not be a pity." The guide smiled to comfort him, and at the same time kicked the orc contemptuously to prove his There was no resistance at all, and then, he got the orc's roar from the depths of his throat—it's a pity that it was so weak that it didn't even have half the deterrent effect.

Roger's complexion was a bit ugly. As a former pharmacist, he still respected life very much—of course, the monsters who have no wisdom and always trouble him are not counted—although the orcs are aliens, but seeing such a scene with their own eyes It still made him a little uncomfortable.

Roger knew that some nobles liked to keep orcs in captivity, some were beautiful female orcs as confinements, and some were powerful male orcs as consumables for gladiatorial games.Of course, these are all done in private and cannot be put on the table. Even though the orcs have strong combat capabilities alone, they have never formed a cohesive social group like elves, dwarves, and humans, and they are completely unable to resist humans. "hunting" behavior.

"This...you, you mean...you want me to...? Feed him this bottle of medicine?" Roger asked stumblingly, glanced at his companions, and compared the elf's disgust, Leon's contempt and Lacent's indifference.

"If you're afraid, I can do it for you, but... maybe portion control is not a good idea..." the guide said tactfully.

"...I, then I'll do it! You, you have to catch him well... Don't, don't let him move around." Roger swallowed, with a look of righteousness that "people die for money, birds die for food", After getting the guarantee from the guide, he grabbed the little red bottle and walked towards the orc, squatting down in front of him.

The seemingly substantive killing intent caused cold sweat to break out slightly on Roger's forehead, but he still stretched out his hand, cleverly pinched the orc's chin, and let go of his clenched teeth—feeding medicine to uncooperative patients is also an essential skill for pharmacists One of them—then pointed the mouth of the little red bottle between his lips.

The orc struggled violently, bared its sharp fangs to threaten, but was held down from behind, the red liquid slowly poured into the open mouth of the orc, and Roger's hand turned to pinch his throat, forcing He swallowed the liquid in his mouth, and at the same time, the light of the healing technique emerged in his palm. Fortunately, Roger became more and more proficient in using the healing technique and controlled it properly, and the lights in the room were too bright to be dazzling, so except Other than him and the orc, no one noticed.

The orc's struggling movement paused, and suddenly became tamed. Roger also took the opportunity to take back less than a quarter of the red medicine, and watched with satisfaction that the orc's HP value rose from the critical point to two-thirds. place.

The red medicine combined with the healing technique obviously has a significant effect, and Roger did this not only because he had a little sympathy for the orc, but also because he needed to use this to exaggerate the efficacy of the red medicine in his hand. In addition...it is still a plan that I don't know if it is feasible...

Standing up, he quickly retreated to a safe place. When Roger just stood still, the orc, who was panting heavily, finally came back to his senses and struggled vigorously. His strength caught those who suppressed him by surprise. , was thrown away by him.

The orc who was finally free raised his hand and grabbed one man's neck, and the sharp nails easily pierced the man's throat, while the other man tried to knock the orc unconscious with an iron bar after screaming, but found the orc After carrying him abruptly for a while, his body only shook slightly.After finishing the man in his hand, the orc roared, threw the limp human corpse away, and hit the man holding the iron rod in the chest, knocking the man straight out, hitting the wall again, and spitting out a mouthful. After the blood slowly slid down, I don't know if he passed out or died.

Everything happened almost in an instant. The guide did not seem to be a combatant. He froze in fright for a long time before recovering from a scream and crawling out of the room, yelling "Come on!".

Roger and the others also instantly became vigilant and prepared to fight, but the orcs just glanced at them as a warning, then turned and left, stepping on the still fresh blood on the ground with their bare feet, leaving behind a huge The bloody footprints, the tall body that even Lesant and Leon had to look up to no longer flinched just now, but stretched out imposingly, like a revengeful Shura.

Blinking his eyes, Roger raised his staff when the orc walked to the door, and the brilliance of the healing technique enveloped the orc again, filling up his vacant HP.The orc's movements paused, but he left without looking back, while Roger turned his head to look at his companion and blinked happily.

"I was still worried about how to disturb this auction and lead the city lord Ai Yin to appear, but I didn't expect that there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, and the opponent brought the handle to the door by himself~ That orc really lived up to my expectations, It’s not in vain that I feed medicine and heal, even if we don’t take action, we can probably sit back and enjoy it~!”

Lacente & Leon & Theodore: "..."

"By the way, taking advantage of the chaos, why don't you go and see what good things are in those auctions?"

Lacente & Leon & Theodore: "..."

"Hahaha~ God really cares for me, I have been praying for his blessing all the time!"

Human God: "..."
