"No, sister, you're the main character and I'm the main character!"
Junlin couldn't help but complain as he looked at Bai Xihe walking at the front of the crowd.
Shouldn't he be the one to do the work of liberating slaves?
Although he never intended to do such a thing.
Sure enough, after arriving in the other world, even Bai Xihe began to let loose and be himself.
If this happened on the Tianxuan Continent, she might not dare to do such a thing.
Along with Bai Xihe, Yun Ruoxi, Liu Yunyun, Ye Yue, and a girl wielding a long sword also rushed out of the tower.
It was that same slave girl from yesterday.
Jun Lin understood that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, rescuing the girl would be a necessary condition for advancing the plot.
But the girl missed him.
At that moment, Bai Xihe, who had just stepped out of the tower, felt a pang of anxiety upon seeing the mess outside.
Although she possesses the cultivation level of the ninth realm of martial arts, she herself has not participated in many battles, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she is a flower in a greenhouse.
Seeing such a horrific scene now, I feel a bit apprehensive.
And... it seems a bit unreasonable that everyone here is dead.
The swordswoman also sensed something was wrong and immediately looked around warily, gripping her longsword tightly.
Junlin remained hidden in the void, not revealing himself.
Because other people have arrived.
"What...are you doing!?"
A man holding a staff and wearing a mage's robe trembled at the sight of the horrific scene in the slave market.
Upon seeing the swordswoman among the leaders, he flew into a rage, yelling, "Eileen! Do you know what you're doing?!"
Eileen sneered, "Of course I know, Ancris. Don't you pride yourself on maintaining the old order? Then can you tell me what the slaves here are all about? Is this the order you uphold?"
Ancris gripped the staff so tightly that his knuckles turned white. He said coldly, "A slave is a slave. I don't need to explain to you. Leave Huangyue City. This is not a place for you."
Eileen shook her head. "You didn't say that when I was brought here as a slave yesterday. And Ancris, I think you should understand that there's no point in maintaining the old order."
"roll!"
Ancris simply roared.
Eileen didn't say anything more and left with the slaves.
Bai Xihe turned and glanced at Ancris standing in the slave market, asking with some curiosity, "Eileen, how are we going to arrange these slaves?"
She saw that Eileen was pitiful yesterday, so she rescued her. Then Eileen brought her here to rescue the slaves.
But now these slaves seem to have nowhere to go, and King's Landing is biased, not giving him the Soul Refining Banner to play with.
Eileen glanced at the slaves behind her. "If the Starsea Empire still existed, I could let them live there. But now, I can only help them leave Huangyue City. What happens to them after that is up to them."
Bai Xihe: ? ? ?
Although she didn't know much about this world, the fact that these people were captured and enslaved meant that they weren't very capable.
Now that they've finally been rescued, are they just going to dump them somewhere random?
She suddenly felt that the girl in front of her, who claimed to be the chief swordsman of the Star Sea Empire, didn't seem very smart.
What did King's Landing say again?
How stupid!
Bai Xihe scratched his head and asked again, "What was the deal with that guy just now? Why did he try to stop you, but then he didn't?"
Hearing this, Eileen scoffed, "He's just a guilty person trying to maintain the old order. This world doesn't need any so-called order anymore."
She hates the orderly atmosphere in Huangyue City!
She didn't really care about the lives of these slaves; it was just that she had almost become someone else's slave, so she felt a bit annoyed when she heard those two words.
As they were about to leave the city, Eileen looked at Bai Xihe and said, "Sister Xihe, I would like to ask you for a favor."
"What kind of help?" Bai Xihe asked curiously.
Eileen gritted her teeth and said, "My country was destroyed by the people of the Longyue Empire, and the princess was also captured by them. I want to take revenge and rescue the princess."
Bai Xihe was taken aback. She didn't know when Eileen's country had been destroyed, but it must have been quite some time ago. Could that princess still be alive?
However, since she's immortal now, it's fine for her to go and join in the fun!
Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "Sure, but I need to tell my junior brother first."
"good!"
Seeing that Bai Xihe agreed, Eileen was overjoyed. With the help of Bai Xihe and the others, her chances of success would be much greater.
She had already witnessed it in that tower; whether it was Bai Xihe or Yun Ruoxi, their strength was greater than hers!
Yun Ruoxi frowned as she watched Bai Xihe and Eileen chatting happily. She felt that Bai Xihe was a bit too naive.
Ye Yue tugged at Yun Ruoxi's sleeve and whispered, "Sister Ruoxi, I feel like this person is using us."
Yun Ruoxi patted Ye Yue's small hand, indicating that Ye Yue could rest assured.
She wasn't worried at all; after all, if Ye Yue could see it, Jun Lin couldn't possibly not.
On the other side.
Ancris stood before the tower where slaves were imprisoned, gazing at it, lost in thought.
They didn't even realize that there was another person beside them.
Jun Lin said calmly, "I'm quite curious, why are you here maintaining order?"
Ankris's eyes flashed with shock. He was a ninth-level archmage, yet he hadn't noticed when Junlin had appeared here.
Faced with Junlin's question, he lowered his head and remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, "I've had enough of the chaos. I want the world to return to its rightful state, even if... I'll feel guilty for it."
In this chaotic and disorderly era, maintaining order has become a sin.
"But you can't do it."
"..."
Ancris fell silent again, then gave a bitter smile. "Yes, I can't do it. I'm too weak, so weak that I dare not stop someone from challenging the order."
He was a ninth-tier archmage, and Eileen was a ninth-tier warrior, an injured one at that. He didn't know what he was afraid of.
Jun Lin smiled slightly. "If you possessed enough power, what would you do?"
"Is the power powerful enough?"
Ancris was slightly taken aback. In fact, he had fantasized more than once about what it would be like if he were a god...
"I will build a well-ordered nation, nipping all signs of chaos in the bud. I will ensure that people no longer worry about tomorrow, that the concept of order is deeply ingrained in their hearts, and that the dawn of hope will forever shine upon the earth..."
Human imagination is always beautiful.
Ancris was the same, but he knew he couldn't go that far. Maintaining order in Radiant Moon City and protecting it from the ravages of war was already his limit.
He couldn't even stop the slave trade... that was not the scene he wanted to see.
"What a beautiful and lofty ideal, I mean... what if I could give you strength?"
Junlin smiled and extended his hand to Ancris.
