Chapter 3265 Black Market



Originally, Ellie wanted to come and leave quietly, but because of Captain Meld's outrageous actions, they had to become famous - this was not a good thing for Ellie, but fortunately, Ellie used magic to reduce the presence of herself and others, and avoided the pursuit and interception from the Adventurer's Guild.

After all, they didn't come here to chat and drink tea with the Adventurer's Guild, but to do important things.

Now that the Great Labyrinth has been conquered, the only thing left for Ellie is to find the group of people who kidnapped children. She originally wanted to investigate leisurely, but now it seems that she must finish it quickly and leave this damn place.

As for how to find these child traffickers, Ellie was not without a solution. Not to mention that the prophet was good at finding things, even without magic, she had a lot of experience. After all, these children were to be captured and sold, and selling meant there was a market, and a market meant there would be transactions, and transactions meant there would be buyers and sellers, so it was impossible to keep it completely secret.

Most people would definitely not know about this kind of thing, but as long as you find the right and appropriate person, you can get the information.

Just like now.

“Aa ...

A shrill scream echoed in the dark and narrow space. Ellie loosened her hand, and then saw a man collapsed on the ground against the wall. His eyes rolled back, his body twitched constantly, and drool was still on the corners of his mouth. Judging from his appearance, it was obviously impossible for him to regain his sanity.

But to Ellie, it didn't matter.

"It has been found."

"Really?"

"That's right."

Ellie nodded.

"The location is underground in the tourist area. It's an underground auction held by an underground organization called the Cemetery in this city. They will bring the kidnapped children to the auction site and then auction them off. Those who participate in the auction are all tourists from all over the world, and they are all big shots..."

At this point, the corners of Ai Li's mouth curled up slightly.

"So, we can have a big fight."

“Leave it to me!”

Nana also clenched her fist and swung it hard.

"I will never let go of those who dare to abuse children!"

"I see."

Xiaobai also nodded and spoke for the first time. Although she was socially anxious, she still had some bottom line as a human being. No matter what, it would be fine if she didn't know about the child trafficking. But now that she knew about it, Xiaobai would not let them go.

What's more - for Xiaobai, the experience value of killing is actually higher.

Only Yue didn't particularly care about this kind of thing, but since Ai Li expressed her desire to go and save people, she naturally wouldn't object.

This will be a very memorable night for the city's underground.

As the night lights come on, the bustling city during the day gradually becomes quiet. The bustling pedestrians on the streets disappear, and a calm and peaceful atmosphere replaces the daytime bustle and becomes the main theme of this city.

But underground, the raucous games are just beginning.

In the auction venue that looked like a drama stage, hundreds of masked people were sitting in their seats without saying a word. The dazzling crystal lights illuminated the entire venue, and everyone was staring at the center of the stage. As one "goods" was brought up, they silently raised their number tags to bid. Although these people seemed to be taking great pains to conceal their identities, judging from the gorgeous clothes they wore, they were obviously either rich or noble.

"Everyone, the next one to come on stage is a rare treasure!"

The emcee of the auction was also trying hard to heat up the atmosphere. He was shouting loudly and making gestures. Soon, the staff of the auction venue came out from the edge of the stage pushing a glass water tank. Looking at the scene inside the water tank, the guests couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

In the water tank was a girl of about four years old, with long emerald green hair, who looked quite cute. However, at this moment, the girl's feet were shackled and she was sinking in the water tank.

If it were a human, she would have drowned long ago. But this girl was not a human. On the contrary, judging from her fin-like ears and the thin membranes between her fingers, she was a kind of demi-human—a member of the Sea People.

This race can live in water and has handsome looks. Since they only appear in the sea, they are even more difficult to capture than the demi-humans who live in the forest. That is why when people saw this little girl from the sea people, they became excited.

"As you can see, this is a child of the Sea People! Now, please make your bids..."

"boom!!!"

However, before the MC could finish his words, the ceiling above his head suddenly exploded, and rocks fell downward, crushing the MC directly underneath - judging from the flying blood, it was obvious that this guy was beyond saving.

This sudden scene scared all the guests present. However, before they could figure out what was happening, they saw Ellie sitting on a broom, slowly descending from the hole. She squinted her eyes, glanced at the guests in the auction venue as if she were looking at a maggot, and snorted coldly.

"Hey, who are you?"

"Come down right now!!"

Those who could hold an auction in such a place were certainly not ordinary people. Soon, dozens of men in black surrounded the entire stage.

"How dare you attack the 'cemetery'? Are you tired of living?"

"cemetery?"

Hearing this, Ellie raised her eyebrows.

"In that case, I will make your 'cemetery' live up to its name."

As she spoke, Ellie raised the magic wand in her hand, and the next moment, the men in black who had surrounded her flew up in an instant, screaming in all directions as they flew towards the sky, and then exploded with a "bang". Blood mixed with internal organs and minced meat fell everywhere, dyeing the entire auction venue blood red in the blink of an eye.

“——!!!”

At this time, the guests attending the auction also realized that the situation was not good. They screamed, stood up, turned around and tried to escape. But unfortunately, their retreat route had long been blocked.

“Get back here ahhhhhhhhhh!!!”

Nana clenched her fists and punched out, knocking the guests who rushed out like bowling balls to the ground. Then she kicked them back. Then Nana turned around, raised her black pointed tail high, and then a flash of lightning flashed from it, hitting the guests directly. With screams, these guests fell to the ground with black bodies and black smoke.

"You, who the hell are you?!"

At this time, several men in black rushed in from the entrance on the other side. Looking at the scene in front of them, their faces were also livid.

"Do you know that those who dare to go against the cemetery..."

However, before the men in black could finish their words, a flash of sword light suddenly appeared, and a huge sword emitting a cold light spun down from the sky, cutting all the men in black into pieces. Xiao Bai was standing upside down on the ceiling, holding a spell in one hand and extending the other hand, while below, the huge sword was chasing the men in black as if it had a soul, ruthlessly cutting them into pieces.

At this time, Ellie also came to the water sink and looked at the little girl inside. She stretched out her magic wand and waved it gently. Then the shackles that were originally tied to the little girl's feet were untied. Then the little girl floated out of the water and fell into Ellie's arms.

"Are you okay, little sister?"

Looking at the girl in front of her, Ellie asked softly, but the little girl seemed to be frightened and just stared at her blankly without saying a word.

Ai Li didn't mind this. She just reached out and gently covered the girl's eyes. Then, the little girl fell asleep. Ai Li wrapped her body with a cloak and slowly flew up with the girl in her arms. As she moved, a bright red magic circle emerged from Ai Li's feet and soon spread to the entire theater. Seeing this scene, Nana and Xiao Bai also quickly withdrew. After the two left the auction venue, Ai Li raised her head and looked at the ceiling in front of her.

"Then let's have a big fight."

As the words fell, the next moment, a beam of light suddenly erupted, engulfing the entire theater, and then shot straight up into the sky, tearing apart the dark night of the entire city.

For Ai Li, this incident has finally come to an end.

Well, only for them.

But for others, this is obviously not the case.

"Ms. Ellie..."

Looking at the silver-haired witch sitting opposite him as if nothing had happened, Ilva, the president of the Foss City Adventurer's Guild, had a twitching face.

"Do you know why I asked you to come here?"

"Is it because we have conquered the sixty-fifth floor of the Great Labyrinth?"

"Of course this is... No, do you have any clue about what happened last night?"

"Last night?"

Ellie blinked.

"What happened last night?"

"An unexplained explosion occurred in the Foss tourist area."

Ilva deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the words "unknown reason", while Ellie just picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea silently.

"Oh, and then?"

"After investigation, we found that it was the location of the underground organization cemetery of Foss..."

"Um……"

"I don't know what method the other party used, but they completely destroyed the cemetery's nest, and many people were involved and died."

"That's such a pity..."

Ellie's voice was plain and dull, just like an actor reading his lines, and seeing her like this, Ilva also got a headache.

"Then we discovered that the cemetery had been trading children... and just last night, your companion Miss Yue sent a group of children to us for protection... Those children claimed that they were kidnapped and trafficked here."

"Yeah, so?"

"So... may I ask what this matter has to do with you?"

"I don't know what you're talking about, Mr. Ilva."

Ellie smiled.

"Yue just happened to meet a group of lost children on the street, and then sent them to be protected out of kindness. We don't know about any cemetery or child trafficking. This is probably just a coincidence... Besides, do you have evidence to prove that we have anything to do with this matter?"

“…”

It would be strange if it didn’t matter!

Seeing Ellie's fearless look, Ilva was completely speechless. All the people were dead and there was not even a witness. Where could they find evidence?

"...Ms. Ellie, I am telling you this very seriously, because among the victims, there are many nobles and merchants who traveled to Foss..."

"I am also telling you very seriously that we have nothing to do with this matter."

Of course Ellie knew that those people were the participants of the auction, but what did it have to do with her? Corpses couldn't speak anyway.

As the saying goes, there is no killing without buying, so just kill all the buyers, then there will be no sellers.

“…”

Seeing Ellie like this, Ilva knew there was nothing he could say and could only sigh helplessly.

"In that case, I hope you can help me complete a commission."

Then he stared at Ellie and spoke.
