Othua's War Banner

Chapter 55 0055: Conscience and Orphans
What an exquisite...fake!
The intermediary narrowed his eyes and smiled dangerously.

He kept adding names to the assassination list in his mind.

This is an assassination against him. Baiwujia... or the black market in the northern border is full of infighting. If this batch of goods is sent to the auction house, it will affect the business in the next few winters.

The intermediary took a deep breath, took out the silver bottle, and applied the secret medicine on his upper lip.

When he turned around, there was no murderous look in his eyes, but deep and awe-inspiring eyes, as if he had a sense of identification with "a fellow man".

"Re-acquainted, hello, my name is Stephen Kelly."

Ken didn't know the other party's psychological process.

But just now, through the gray vision, he saw the steaming black flames and the scarlet ghost eyes.

[Character: Stephen Kelly]

[Attitude: cautious, curious]

[Identity: Black Market Leader]

[Smart blood, a very dangerous guy, proud and conceited, often using hypocritical flattery to deceive strangers. 】

Stephen raised his slender right hand and snapped his fingers.

The docile black-skinned maid appeared at the right time, and presented a dark wooden box respectfully, and she opened the clasp—a gold coin was laid in the middle of the soft silk.

"Thank you for your advice, or rather, your insignificant little favor saved our chamber of commerce..."

Stephen bowed and saluted.

He put on his flip-corner hat and walked to the most expensive carriage in the lead.

【Reputation: +50】

[The popularity of the black market has increased. 】

Ken held the coin in his fingertips.

[Item: Bloodprint Gold Coin]

[Description: In the black market, you can use it to issue a reward to buy expensive goods or someone's head. 】

The carriage stopped in front of him, and the expensive curtains were lifted.

Stephen's face was hidden in the darkness, and his pupils were painted a circle of bright red. This elevation angle was obviously designed so that the people in the carriage could always look down when they were speaking. With the blessing of light and shadow effects, it showed a noble and mysterious temperament.

"You came to our tavern yesterday. You have two children, um, they seem to be brothers and sisters?"

Stephen said while thinking, and it really caught Ken's attention.

He smiled, and while closing the curtains, he casually added:
"Now there is only my younger sister left. The little girl is hiding in the alley of the Qifeng restaurant. The vulgar wild guys can't hear the lady's cry..."

The carriage drove out of the narrow alley, followed by the heavily loaded wagon.

[Mission: Orphans]

[Progress: 3H remaining]

[Description: A girl named "Lily" is crying, she knows where the traffickers have gone. 】

Time is tight.

Ken held the steel sword in his hand and strode out. The sound of his boots was very crisp, which woke up the riders immersed in the joy of making a fortune.

The person in charge of the workshop leaned on the door panel to wipe his sweat.

The clay pot in his hand shook with water patterns, and he saw the gentleman in black armor riding Juechen, and behind him were several ferocious and mighty Fei wolves.

The apprentices poked their heads out and saw the unloaded frame and cargo box.

"Hiss, I left in a hurry. Hey, some people put the things in the back alley, and wait for the gentleman to come back to pick them up. The stove owner's guests, please treat them well."

The person in charge tore off the towel and kicked the apprentice next to him.

……

The streets are still lively in the afternoon.

The sound of horseshoes came from far and near, and exclamations came and went.

The streets are full of old fritters who have experienced many years in the mainland and are familiar with various emergency situations, so they all avoided each other without causing any casualties.

Beast mounts are not uncommon.

The streets and alleys of Usuya are very wide. After all, space must be reserved for giant beasts like [Dake] to walk, flying monsters and flexible beasts, and there are also special places to stop and feed.

Corner of Commercial Street.

The strange bird standing on the roof was startled, and the house number connected by iron chains shook "babbling", and "Desolation" and "food" were written in Uma language on the wooden board.

It was dilapidated and old, with putty on the bottom half.

There was neighing from the stables.

The beasts and monsters were restless.

The boxers in the middle of the restaurant were still fighting, shouting and cheering one after another, and pieces of tableware were thrown everywhere...

Ken reined in at the door.

He turned over and left, walking straight into the back alley.

The military boots stepped on the wet and muddy ground, crossed the dirty trench, and found a place where expired food was piled up among all kinds of strange garbage.

【Shabby Shelter】

Ken's eyes flickered slightly, and he lifted the partition with one hand, exposing the hidden space.

As far as the eye can see, it is a pothole dug out, which can barely shelter from the wind and rain. Among the few foods, there are unfinished military ration cakes. The "bed" of tattered cotton and rags curled up with tears in its eyes, but dared not speak out Crying little girl.

【Lonely Orphan】

[Attitude: Sad and helpless]

"Lily, remember me?"

Ken called out the name mentioned in the note, and what flashed in his mind was that she was holding his brother's little hand and walking on the bustling street.

Kuima and the others had just arrived, strangling Feilang to pace around the door of the shop.

Drunk gamblers clamored on the window sills, frightened passers-by cursed angrily, and malicious mercenaries and hooligans squinted at them.

Only the horse left behind by the battle banner was in front of him.

After a while, Ken came out from the side.

He took off the cloak to wrap the girl around, hugged her in his arms, then stepped on the horse with one hand, and led the team out of the village.

"Did your elder brother be snatched away by the adults in Nanjiang?"

The girl nodded.

It turned out that Lili was a mute, no wonder she hadn't heard her voice before.

"Don't be afraid, you definitely know where those people are going, you have to learn to be brave, point out the direction, and we will pick up your brother."

Ken wasn't particularly gentle.

He just spoke as slowly as possible, speaking softly and clearly.

Lily freed his hand from the black cloak, and slowly aimed at another gate of the village.

The team was divided into two groups, and a wolf rider returned to the camp to gather troops and rush over. After all, the other party was a slave trader, and there would always be some vicious methods.

Ken frowned.

He allocated experience points to 【Riding Skills】to continuously increase the speed of the horse.

Since the task has given a countdown, it means that the time is urgent, or the trace of the other party will be lost, or the child may die...

Quema asked:
There are many dignitaries in the southern countries who will buy children from the northern border, activate the talents in their blood, and cultivate warriors who will die loyal to their families.

Certain evil wish spells, or sacrifice magic, also require children as consumables.

[Rumor: "Palotus than the Old Testament"]

[Northern Battle Flag signed an oath not to allow war orphans to be taken out of the eternally frozen wall. 】

Countless years have passed, and the ancient conventions have been forgotten. In the chaotic years of the northern border, the moral code continued to blur, and the gray industry was still driven by interests.

Savage Palotus than.

No one will agree with the existence of this trade, and no one will actively stand up against it.

Who is not struggling to get through every day?

The harshness of fate is never treated differently because of age and status. In a sense, this is fair-every life has to be tempered.

Ken kept asking his own heart:
Why the anger, why the meddling?

He suddenly thought of 【Mag Lierbota】.

The female scholar known as "Norlin Tulip".

The other party came from a noble background, but he took the initiative to help the refugees, and begged Ken to save his teacher with precious materials.

"Human nature is not noble."

"I will be both selfish and pleasing to my own conscience."
