Happy people from Blue Star

The man looked at Hadi's face, then at his clothes: "You look like you have a high status in the caravan."

Hadi smiled and said, "A qualified negotiator must have enough etiquette and posture to satisfy the customer."

"That's right." The man believed it. He returned to his main seat and said, "How much food do you have? What do you want to trade?"

"Several hundred kilograms of flour and one hundred kilograms of dried meat." Hardy said fluently, "What we want most is gold coins, followed by magic materials."

"I can understand the gold coins." The man was a little curious: "Why do we need magic materials? Can we humans use magic?"

Hadi shrugged. "There's a Sun Saint in the northern city of Basov. She's building towers of light everywhere and needs a lot of magic materials, so she's buying them at a high price."

"Are those two things in the city?" the man pointed outside.

Hardy nodded.

"That's quite interesting." The man said regretfully, "If I had known that the Sun Saint was in Basov City, I would have chosen the location there. I think the Sun Saint would have been more interesting."

Hardy narrowed his eyes slightly, and the smile on his face became even kinder.

At this time he asked: "I don't know your name yet, new lord."

"You can call me Westfor." The man said proudly. He pointed to the chair opposite and said in an unquestionable tone: "Sit down."

Hadi sat down as he was told.

"We have no more gold coins, but we still have a lot of magic materials." Westford said arrogantly, "I think those magic materials are worth several hundred kilograms of flour and more than a hundred kilograms of meat. What do you think?"

Hardy pretended to be embarrassed and said, "You have to see it to know."

"I'll have someone take you there to have a look." Westfor said, then stood up and was about to leave.

Hardy asked, "Lord Westfor, what happened here? Why did the citizens become like that? They were fine when we came here last time."

"Don't ask about things you shouldn't know." Wesford looked at Hardy coldly.

Hadi sighed softly and stood up as well.

He was about to draw his sword and kill someone, but a maid came over.

Westford pointed at Hardy and said to the maid, "Take him to the basement. Also, that little beast hasn't been fed for three days. Go get it something to eat."

Hardy felt something in his heart and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​killing.

Then he followed the maid.

The maid was very silent and walked very slowly. Her walking posture was also very strange. She walked with her feet turned outward and limped. It was obvious that her legs were very inconvenient.

Hardy was behind her and saw red or black marks on her neck.

He vaguely guessed something.

The two of them walked down the stairs to the basement.

The basement wasn't very big, and there were indeed some magical materials piled up in it, but only a little.

With just this little bit of stuff, let alone hundreds of kilograms of flour, you can't even exchange it for ten kilograms.

What really surprised Hardy was that there was a child sitting in the corner next to the magic materials.

She had large shackles around her neck, almost as big as she was.

The ends of the shackles are fixed to the wall.

The child was very dirty, with feces and urine all over his body, which was black and yellow. Even from a distance, you could smell the stench.

After the maid came down, she ignored Hardy and went straight to the child.

She knelt in front of the child, and regardless of the dirt on the child, she took out a small piece of bread from her clothes and handed it to him.

"Miss, this is the food I earned today, please have some."

The maid's voice was trembling as she pleaded softly.

Is this a little girl? Hardy walked over.

The little girl was motionless, her eyes were open but she had no vision and her line of sight was scattered, it was obvious that there was something wrong with her mental state.

Seeing that the little girl didn't react, the maid wiped her tears, stuffed the bread into her mouth, chewed it until it was broken, then took it out and stuffed it gently into the little girl's mouth.

The little girl just held the bread in her mouth, and her mouth remained motionless.

"Just eat something, miss." The maid burst into tears. "If you don't eat something, you will starve to death."

She cried very hard.

Hardy also came to the little girl at this time. He sensed her with his mental power and frowned subconsciously.

The little girl's soul entered a state of 'self-destruction'.

This kind of self-destruction is on the spiritual level and it is difficult to intervene by physical means.

But there is good news. When the self-destruction state just begins, there is a way to prevent it in the EPR mental power system.

Hardy also learned it.

"Is this your young lady? She is dying." Hardy asked the maid: "Among those people hanging outside, her..."

The maid turned around and looked at Hardy with a wary look in her eyes. She then loudly retorted: "The lady will be fine. Don't curse her."

"Why did this city become like this?" Hadi asked in a low voice, "Why did the former lord die? If you tell me, I can save your young lady."

The maid's eyes were still full of distrust, but her expression seemed to have relaxed a lot.

Hardy's handsome face greatly increases the "favorability".

Hadi held out his hand, which was covered with a ball of green energy: "I am a magician."

"Do we humans have magicians now?"

Hardy put away his magic, smiled and said nothing.

The maid was silent for a while. At this moment, she had to believe in this only hope, and then said: "Well, I hope you can fulfill your promise."

"That man named Westfor is a distant relative of our lord." The maid's eyes were filled with hatred: "Because of this reason, he became the sheriff of the territory."

Hardy listened quietly.

"But we didn't expect that he would collude with the enemy outside, obtain some alchemical tools from the enemy that we couldn't understand, and then spread them in the city." The maid said, "By the time our lord reacted, most of the people in the city had turned into man-eating beasts, and only a few people were still rational."

Hardy frowned slightly.

"While the city was in turmoil, Westford started to rebel." The maid's eyes were filled with misery: "They killed many people and then captured the lord. The lord was in such a pity... They tortured her beyond recognition and finally hung her outside."

"So, what about the lord's husband?"

"He died a long time ago. He died several years ago."

Hadi asked again: "Do you know who your enemy is?"

"The Lizardmen of the South."

Hardy said doubtfully, "As far as I know, the Lizardmen don't have this ability. Lizardmen can't produce alchemical products that can poison the entire city. They don't have this ability."

"That's all I know!" the maid said in confusion.

Hardy nodded, condensed a ball of clear water, and poured it on the little girl.

After all, the other person's body is too dirty, and when you treat him later, you will have to come into contact with his body.

Hardy is a bit of a germaphobe.

But as the clean water gradually washed the little girl clean, Hardy's expression became surprised.

This girl looks familiar to him. (End of this chapter)
