Although Hayden didn't really think he was here to invite them to the welcome ball, he didn't expect him to arrest them so directly.

Hansen said: "The reason? Is it because we are so handsome?"

The golden armor was indifferent to his teasing, and the spear leaned forward a little bit, the sharp point of the spear almost touching his forehead, "This is the reason."

Hansen glanced at Hayden out of the corner of his eye, saw that he had nothing to say, and said, "What if we refuse?"

The golden armor said: "Then, you will be sent to the gallows for violating the laws of the empire."

Hansen looked at the tip of the spear close at hand with disdain and said, "Isn't this the imperial law you're referring to?"

The golden armor said: "No. It's an offense to the nobles."

Hansen said: "Who? You?"

"The great city lord."

Hansen said: "I don't remember being sent to the gallows for offending nobles."

The golden armor got impatient with his chatter, took a step forward, and pointed his spear at his forehead, "You don't need to know much, you just need to know a little. This is Court City, and its lord is Lord Michael .”

"This is two points." Mundella said lightly.

The golden armor turned to look at him.

Hayden pushed Mundella behind him, using his body to block the visiting eyes of the golden armor.

The golden armor straightened up and said, "The city lord doesn't like talkative women."

Hayden smiled and said, "It's enough if I like it."

The cold eyes of the golden armor swept him from top to bottom, and then said: "Take it away."

The silver armors behind him came up and surrounded them.

The little magician looked at Hayden uneasily, as if waiting for his order, but Hayden just brought Mundra to him, protected him with his arms, and followed the golden armor very meekly away.

Neither Gregory nor Hansen followed without hesitation.

The little magician hesitated on the spot, but was pushed by the silver armor before walking up awkwardly.He didn't have many chances to come to Court City. The only time before was when the teacher brought him to buy a strange potion that could split a plant in two.The teacher also told him about human trafficking in the market.The reason why he reminded Hansen was because he felt that Hayden was not suitable to go to such a messy place, but he didn't understand why Hayden didn't reveal his identity when the golden armor arrested them.If they revealed their identities, they wouldn't have to be imprisoned in such a dirty place.

It was a dark gray low house, if it wasn't for the fact that the house looked solid, the little magician would almost have thought it was made of dust.

The low house exudes a disgusting sour smell.There are cockroaches crawling on the ground, flies flying in the air, and spiders on the roof. It is a place with rich neighbors.

Even though he had made psychological preparations before coming here, Hayden was still taken aback by such a harsh environment.

There was a crowd of people in the corner of the room.It was difficult to see the number of people in the dim light, and we could only judge from the groans that their situation was not very good.

After the golden armor brought them into the house, it locked the door.There is only one palm-sized air vent in the whole room, and occasionally a fresh breeze will blow in, but for the smelly interior, it is just a drop in the bucket and has no effect.

Hansen listened quietly to the movement outside the house for a while, and said in a low voice: "There are twenty people in total, five in the front, back, left, and left. They should be knights of the third and fourth ranks."

"? Knight." Hayden had a smile on his lips, but it was not as warm as before.

Hansen said: "What should we do next?"

Gregory said: "Of course we should leave here first. Before they discover the identity of..." He said very implicitly, but the person with the most identity here is undoubtedly Hayden.He could even imagine how wonderful Michael's expression would be when he knew that his subordinates had tied up an imperial marshal for him.But unfortunately, he doesn't want to see that scene now, because after a wonderful expression, there is often an even more exciting chase.

It was rare for Hansen to agree with his words, "We can mobilize an army and smash those armors to pieces!"

"So, how do we leave?" Hayden glanced at the two corners of the room that were crowded with people. Although the golden armor didn't say what these people did, they contacted what Hansen and Gregory said before. , should be easy to guess.

Hansen said: "At night, I will lure them away, and then meet at the Magic Guild."

Gregory said: "They will definitely defend the Magic Guild."

Hansen said: "I hope they won't be so smart."

Gregory said, "Why don't you leave this city first?" As soon as he stepped into this city, he felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart.His intuition was precise, it had been before, and he believed it would be this time.

Hansen said: "Leave the city and let them chase us on horseback? This is too stupid."

Gregory was silent.He didn't know how to express his uneasiness, but what was certain was that the word Magic Guild filled him with a sense of crisis.

Hayden asked the little magician, "Do you have any good ideas?"

Both Gregory and Hansen turned to look at him.

The little magician shrank his head and said, "You all have good ideas. I have no objections."

Hayden put his arms around Mundella's shoulders and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, we'll be out soon."

Mundella twitched her nose, then sat down.

Hansen covered his nose and muttered, "It stinks." It's still half a day away from night, it's really unbearable.

Hayden put his hand over Mundella's nose, and said with a smile, "Would it be better?" He has a very faint tulip scent, which is usually not obvious, but in this case, it looks very fresh.

But Mundra didn't appreciate it, and pushed his hand away without hesitation. "stuffy."

Hayden could only pat him on the shoulder and said, "If you can't bear it, tell me."

Mundra nodded perfunctorily.In fact, he didn't think it smelled bad at all.He has smelled smells ten times stronger than this one. At most, it only makes the stomach acid react a little, and it is not unbearable.

Hansen sat there for a while, and then began to strike up a conversation with those crowded in the corner.

Those people were all weak, and almost no one answered.There was only one skinny young man. After hearing Hansen ask a lot of questions, he couldn't help asking: "Who are you?"

Hansen puffed up his chest and said, "Man."

The boy looked at him, then retracted again.

Hansen finally met someone who could talk, how could he let it go easily, and immediately asked: "What about you?"

The boy hesitated for a while before saying, "We were sold here."

Could it be that besides Mar City and Court City, are there other places where human trafficking is being carried out?Hansen was shocked.He never knew that the empire he lived in had been bitten by little moths and was riddled with holes.He looked back at Hayden and found that he was also paying attention to the conversation here, so he continued to ask, "Where are you from?"

"Gira City."

Hansen was at a loss.

Hayden asked, "The city of Gila in Biaag?"

The boy was surprised: "Have you heard of it?"

Hayden said: "It's very close to the empire."

The boy said sadly: "Yes. So many people here are from my hometown."

Hansen said: "Have you all been arrested?"

The young man shook his head and said, "Some were abducted, some came here voluntarily, and some... were sold by their parents."

When Hansen heard him talking about his parents, he suddenly had a low tone, guessing that he probably belonged to the last type, and he couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic. "I remember that Biyag is a country that prohibits human trafficking."

The young man said: "Isn't the empire also?"

The two looked at each other and fell silent.

The little magician suddenly took out a piece of white bread from the interspatial bag, handed it to the boy and said, "Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?"

The whole room suddenly became commotion. Except Hayden and his party, everyone was staring at the bread in his hand. If it wasn't for Hansen and the others who didn't look easy to mess with, they might have rushed over.
