But Reiner now only has ten gold coins.
If even that much money can't pry him open, then we have to find another way...
The slave trader shook his head and sighed deeply. "If it were later, I might have broken the contract and sold her to you for so much money, but... the person who chose her is a noble, a noble we can't afford to offend."
"who?"
"Lord Ling Yu."
Reiner was slightly stunned.
I heard from Junice that Dimas seems to be the leader's son, maybe we can ask him for help.
"Leave this demi-human to me. I'll be right back."
The slave trader said, "Then you'd better hurry."
Reiner wanted to take Nora away, but she stood there and was reluctant to let go. She held Daisy's hand tightly and refused to let go.
"We should leave now. I'll find a way."
Daisy was a little surprised to hear Reiner speaking Demihuman language: "Sir... can you speak Demihuman language?
I leave my daughter in your care. She is a very smart child. Please treat her well."
After that, she touched Noila's hair again and said softly: "Don't worry about me, I will survive well."
The slave trader urged them on, and the team continued to move forward.
Noila Mo rubbed her eyes, lowered her head in despair, and choked with sobs: "That person...that's my mother."
"I know, don't be discouraged."
Then, Nora's inner voice floated into Reiner's ears.
(Nora, you must stop making things difficult for him. He has been very good to you. I can't ask for more.)
(But if my mother is bought by a bad guy, it will be the end of me...)
Reiner patted her ears, trying to soothe her.
He didn't know whether it would be any use looking for Dimas.
After leaving the slave market, I searched for him at the city gate for a long time but couldn't find him.
Usually, Dimas would sit on the city wall and gaze into the distance like an NPC, but today was an exception.
The section of the city wall where he often sat was now empty.
Reiner had no choice but to grab a few patrolling soldiers and ask them.
Finally, we learned that Dimas was training militia in an open space outside the city.
Reiner walked out of the city and headed east. After a while, he saw Dimas wearing chain mail and training a team of militia with several other knights.
They were holding spears and stabbing dummies made of straw.
Reiner came closer and waved at Dimas.
Then I began to remember his full name.
When Dimas approached, he coughed twice and greeted him in a somewhat flattering manner: "Lord Dimas Russell Mellor, good morning."
Although he was reluctant to say this, he was asking someone to do something after all, so he imitated the other adventurers and said it respectfully.
Dimas narrowed his eyes, remained silent for a moment, and said expressionlessly, "Reiner, just call me Dimas. You don't have to be so harsh like others.
Tell me what you want to talk to me about. I will help you within my ability."
Reiner pointed at Nora behind him and said, "Then I'll be polite. Has your family bought a lot of demi-human slaves recently? One of the slaves is her mother. I hope to buy her and reunite them."
A flicker of respect crossed Dimas's face, but he quickly regained his composure. "What does that demihuman look like?"
"A cat-like subhuman with long black hair and blue eyes. She's a high-quality slave."
"Got it." Dimas whistled, and his warhorse came galloping over from the side. "I'll go first, you come over too."
After saying this, he rode towards Melod.
Reiner and Nora followed closely behind.
As soon as they entered the city, they saw Dimas riding a horse and leading Daisy towards them.
Nora quickened her pace and threw herself into Daisy's arms.
