Generally speaking, it is quite difficult to find thieves, because the thieves' nests are basically in the wilderness, which is difficult to search. This is also the reason why the lord cannot send out a large army. In fact, this is the same reason why Ordana, a border area, uses volunteers instead of regular troops to clear out those goblin nests, because they are too widely distributed and quite secretive, so it is not suitable to send out a large army to encircle and suppress them. Therefore, it can only be handed over to volunteers or adventurers, who will not lose their own combat effectiveness even if they die.

But for Ellie, this was not difficult. After all, for a prophecy wizard, it was not too troublesome to find out something, just like now.

"Hey, hey, little girls, what are you doing here?"

Looking at the four girls who appeared in front of them, the robbers smiled cruelly and asked in a cold voice.

"I just want to ask you something."

Facing the gazes of the robbers, Ellie seemed quite calm.

"There have been a number of cases of snatching and kidnapping children in this territory recently. Do these have anything to do with you?"

"Who knows?"

The robbers laughed at Ellie's question.

"Maybe there is, maybe not. If you want to know, why not experience it yourself?"

As he spoke, the leading bandit snapped his fingers. Soon, dozens of bandits came out of the abandoned bunker and surrounded the four girls with a sneer.

"Miss, now that you are here, why don't you leave? Why don't you stay and have some fun with the brothers? You all look like beautiful girls with delicate skin and tender flesh. It would be such a waste to let you go. Especially you... you look really beautiful. If you were to sell you, you would definitely be worth a lot of money."

"Yeah yeah."

Hearing this, the other robbers also laughed.

"I like this little blonde beauty. She looks so cute."

"This white-haired girl is not bad either."

"Oh, this demi-human is pretty, but her breasts are too small, so she won't make much money as a slave..."

"Who are you saying is a slave?!!"

However, before she finished her words, with a roar, Nana, who was standing behind Ai Li, flashed in front of the robber who was laughing at her, and then punched him. The robber had no time to react and was hit by Nana's punch, flying dozens of meters away in an instant.

"You actually...Brothers, come on!!"

Seeing this scene, the other robbers were also shocked, and then hurriedly shouted, picked up their weapons and rushed towards Nana. Facing the robbers rushing towards her, Nana also gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.

"Why are you worthless if you don't have breasts?"

"boom!"

"Ms. Mingyue is even plainer than me!"

"boom!!"

"Without breasts, you have no value?!"

"boom!!!"

"……here we go again."

Seeing Nana angrily blasting the bandits away, Ai Li helplessly reached out her hand to press her forehead. Perhaps because of Nana's tail as a Deviluke, most bandits who saw Nana would regard her as some kind of subhuman. The status of subhumans in this world seemed to be quite low, so much so that the first reaction of the bandits when they saw Nana was to take her and sell her as a slave.

Of course, bandits are generally talkative, so when they see Nana, they basically either mock her breasts or laugh at her tail.

Plus, Nana had a hot temper and got mad easily... Upon hearing this, she turned into a berserker and rushed forward.

Next to Ai Li, Yue, who was also shot, was lying with her face red and white, and she was very depressed. Xiao Bai on the other side still closed her eyes and said nothing - she had the best figure among the four girls, and speaking at this time would only make her the target of Nana's venting. In addition, Xiao Bai herself was socially anxious, so it was better for her not to say anything at this time. Even if she was asked to speak, she didn't know what to say.

So along the way it was basically Ai Li who went looking for people, and then the bandit started taunting her, and then Nana, who was taunted, turned into a berserker in anger and went up to fight. As for Yue and Xiaobai... they just watched the show quietly from the side.

Although Nana's stats are indeed the lowest among the four, they are still N times higher than those of humans and demons. Simply put, she is just not that prominent among a group of monsters, but she is still a member of the monsters.

"Okay, that's about it."

Seeing that the robbers had been basically dealt with by Nana, Ai Li also gave a silent reminder, then picked up the magic wand and turned it gently. Then a gust of wind rose from the ground, rolling together the robbers who were beaten to pieces by Nana. Pitch-black chains emerged from the shadows and entangled them tightly.

Then, Ellie walked up to a robber who looked like the leader - he was originally wearing mighty armor and helmet, but now he was beaten black and blue by Nana, and the hard armor on his body was also torn into tatters, looking like a weak woman with torn clothes.

"Legitimate."

Ellie was too lazy to talk to these people and directly used Legilimency to search the robbers' memories. The robbers whose memories were searched naturally rolled their eyes in pain and shouted loudly - Ellie simply turned a deaf ear to it and pretended not to hear.

After a moment, Ellie retracted her magic wand and nodded.

"Okay, the search is complete. Xiaobai is in your hands."

"OK."

Hearing what Ai Li said, Xiaobai nodded, then she stretched out her hand to the robbers. Soon, a white silk thread shot out from Xiaobai's fingertips and wrapped up the robbers.

If silk threads were to shoot out from the belly button, it would be 100% a spider spirit.

At the same time, Nana was complaining angrily.

"Really? Speaking of which, what's up with those so-called subhumans? If someone takes them as slaves, will they really be slaves? Won't they resist?"

As the second princess of Deviluke, the planet that unified the entire galaxy, Nana naturally couldn't stand the practice of using demi-humans as slaves, and what made her even more upset was the demi-humans themselves. Because before, she had angrily questioned the robbers why they used demi-humans as slaves, and the latter's answer was that demi-humans were well-behaved and obedient, and they were beautiful, and they dared not resist no matter how they were treated, so they were the most suitable candidates for slaves - Nana was almost angry to death.

If she were to say it, what's wrong with these subhumans? Others have bullied you, and you don't even resist? !

Anyone who dares to treat the Deviluk people like this will have his planet blown up the next day!

In fact, it really exploded.

"Sister Ellie, what did you find?"

Yue ignored Nana's complaints, reached out and pulled the corner of Ai Li's clothes, and asked in a low voice. Hearing Yue's question, Ai Li frowned.

"Hmm...it's just as I thought. The situation is unusual."

Ellie certainly didn't run into this group of robbers by chance. In fact, they learned that this was their lair after catching the robbers outside, so they came here on purpose. After all, from the memories extracted from the robbers before, Ellie learned that it was their boss who asked these robbers to kidnap children, so he must have a reason, so Ellie came here and wanted to have a good "chat" with the robber leader here.

From the bandit leader's memory, Ellie learned part of the story - this group of bandits were originally from other places, but one day, several mysterious men wrapped in cloaks suddenly appeared. They not only defeated the bandit leader's subordinates, but also almost killed the leader.

As a robber, he naturally had no self-respect, so the leader cried and begged for mercy. Then the other side made a request to the leader, asking him to lead his men to kidnap children on a large scale.

The bandit leader initially refused, but under the threat of death and the inducement of money, he finally agreed. They were afraid of being caught if they did such a thing locally, so they deliberately came to the nearby territory and carried out their operations there.

According to the bandit leader's memory, they would send the captured children to the nearby neutral city of Foss, where someone would come to take over, hand over the money and the children, and then they would have nothing to do with it.

Obviously, there is something else going on.

But no matter what, since the robbers have been captured, Ai Li and others will not stay here for long. They let Xiao Bai drag the robbers wrapped tightly in spider silk back to the city and hand them over to the local security team. Although Ai Li and others can kill all the robbers in a matter of minutes, they should be loyal to the people who entrusted them. Since the lord has shown sincerity, Ai Li does not mind capturing them alive.

Of course, the purpose of capturing them alive was not to put them in solitary confinement, but to publicly execute them. After all, due to the rampant rampage of the bandits, the morale of the entire territory began to deteriorate. At this time, executing the bandits in public could, on the one hand, appease the people's anxiety, and on the other hand, enhance the reputation of the lord.

The lord was naturally delighted to learn that Ellie and others had captured the bandit group that was wreaking havoc in the territory. However, after learning from Ellie that all the kidnapped children were sent to Foss, he immediately frowned.

"This is troublesome. Forth is a neutral city and a trade hub. We can't take any action against them based on the testimony of the robbers alone."

"Then let us handle it."

"Is it really possible?"

"certainly."

Facing the lord's question, Ellie nodded. If it was something else, she wouldn't want to get involved too deeply. But since it involved child kidnapping and trafficking, Ellie couldn't let it go. After all, human traffickers are the most hateful in any world.

“…”

After hearing Ellie's answer, the lord was silent for a moment, then he reached out and handed over four status plates.

"Then I'll leave it to you. This is your status board. I've added lord permissions to it. Only people of a certain status can view your information. Of course, you can also choose to hide your status information... although generally speaking, no one would believe that kind of information. Also, your adventurer level has been raised to 'Gold'. After all, you have wiped out a bandit group of hundreds of people that was a scourge to the entire territory. This achievement is enough."

By the way, among the bandits captured by Ellie and her friends, there seemed to be several who were extremely vicious and wanted. Even ordinary adventurers were no match for them, but they were easily captured by Ellie and her friends. This was also the reason why their levels were raised.

Of course, to Ai Li, no matter where the other party came from, he was just a loser who was knocked away by Nana's punch.

"Is this okay?"

Taking the notebook-sized status board at hand, Ai Li looked at the lord.

"The commission hasn't really been completed yet, eh?"

Hearing Ellie's question, the lord gave a bitter smile.

"I know you are not ordinary people. To be honest, I don't know your origins, but I know you have great power. Although I don't know what you want to do, at least for now, you have no ill will towards me and the people in my territory, so I also hope to establish a favor with you."

"I'll think about it."

After receiving the status board, Ai Li smiled. They did not intend to have any conflict with this country. After all, for Ai Li, the goal was just to conquer the seven labyrinths, obtain the magic of the Age of Gods, and then open the gate to the God's Domain to find the core of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers to settle accounts. So there was no need to add more enemies to themselves.

Since the other party is so understanding, then... it's not impossible for Ai Li to help.
