Goyas, the owner of the tavern, wiped away the cold sweat from his forehead, lowered his voice and said to Link secretly: "Sir, I think you should leave the city as soon as possible."

"Why?" Feeling that the breath of the mage and the city lord were getting farther and farther away, Link turned around and looked at the bartender who was kindly suggesting. The man had a different look than that of ordinary people, and his temperament was not like that of ordinary people. Rather than saying that he was a little businessman who was a slept in the open, he was an adventurer who had been.

"This place... is not very safe, and outsiders like you are particularly unpopular." If it weren't for the troubled times, moving elsewhere might not be much better than here. Goias had moved away with his family.

"Yes, I also felt the unfriendly atmosphere." Without looking back, Link could already feel the gaze projected on him, full of all kinds of negative emotions, just not kind. Even if these people did not commit crimes, Duoduo would become a little cold and xenophobic under the influence of the general environment.

"Do you have any news?" Link suddenly turned his head and turned his eyes to Asa.

The wanderer didn't say anything, but just pointed to the underground.

Although the spider web and Shadow Thorns were established here, the city has been firmly controlled by the rulers since the age of the old Nax. The ancient town of Rose is close to Longyan Fort in the south, Hornheim in the east, and underground and close to the night elves in the southwest. The slave trade has been very developed since ancient times, and it reached its peak during the vassal period and became the largest market in the mainland.

Underground? Is it so unconcealed, is it scruples? Or is it no one cares about it at all...

While thinking, Link stroked the ring on his right hand. In order not to be recognized, casting spells would make people suspicious, he simply flipped the ring face and turned the holy emblem to the palm of his hand. Only a bare ring was left.

"Forgive me for being too verbally speaking, are you talking about the slave market?" Goyas knew what they were talking about when he heard the "underground".

What is the most famous of Nax? Of course it is the slave trade.

Link's eyes returned to the bartender again, "Yes, I have a friend who has been missing for a long time. His family entrusted me to find his whereabouts. I think they would rather accept him as a slave than hear his death."

Asa thought in his heart, were these words lies made up by the Son of Nature? Or was it true? Generally speaking, the priests on the order side will not lie, but the Pillar God is a neutral camp. And... he does not think that people like Link who regards rules and regulations will obey the rules and precepts of ordinary priests. By the way, the Son of Nature is a God's apostle who can do anything as long as it does not violate the wishes of the Pillar...

Just as Link was talking, Vera walked to him, and she said nothing, but the momentum she exuded made Goyas feel inexplicably afraid. After careful observation, he was frightened to find that this woman who could cast spells without spells had a pair of evil vertical pupils!

God... She is not a mixed elf, but a mixed blood between monsters and humans! Could such a dangerous guy come from the Great Stolen pit?

Goias regretted his actions a little. No matter how scared he was, he still had to say what he should say, after all, it was the topic he chose himself.

"The slave market is located underground, and there are no special channels or checkpoints. Anyone can enter and exit freely. Follow the streets marked by the cage. Be careful of those guys hiding in dark corners. They specialize in choosing outsiders. If you want to... you don't have to be afraid of those people. But I suggest you find familiar locals here to take you there, so you can meet unnecessary troubles." Goias pointed to Link a middle-aged man sitting in the corner, with a dirty appearance, dirty clothes, and a drunkard who was drunk. He pushed the two silver coins at Link again, "This little money is enough to hire."

Link glanced at Asa from the corner of his eyes. The wanderer immediately stood up, picked up the silver coins on the table and walked towards the alcoholic who was lowering his head, only caring about the wine glass in front of him.

"After saying so much, it's time to clarify your purpose."

The sudden words made Goyas stunned, "What did you say? Where did I have it..."

I originally planned to move my eyes away, but I couldn't turn my neck, and I couldn't even turn my eyes.

Goyas' breathing became rapid. Although the whole tavern focused on him, no one noticed his condition.

"Answer my master's words."

Vera's voice became deeper than usual, and Goias spoke out his true intentions uncontrollably.

"My son Ruhr... disappeared while shopping a few years ago. I suspect he was taken away by traffickers entrenched in the city. These bastards are getting more and more excessive, and even the locals are not letting go!"

Such a reason is more convincing than curiosity. Link pondered for a moment and asked Goias why he didn't go to rescue his son by himself?

"Ha...you can see it? Yes, I used to be an adventurer, but my rank is only a junior expert. The traffickers entrenched underground have gained huge profits from the protection of the old city lord and slave trafficking. They hired some mercenaries and mages of great strength. I heard that there are non-humans. I tried to rescue myself, but I didn't even break into the periphery, and I also took the life of my friend." Under Vera's control, Goyas was unable to move, and the only thing he could do was speak.

Asa is back, there are so many people here that he cannot use a name or title that will reveal Link's identity, but simply call him "Mr.".

The drunkard refused to hire because he was afraid of causing trouble. The cause was just after the visit of the city lord, and anyone with discerning eyes could see how much Fred cared about this guy with a masked face.

Link asked to click the counter desktop with his finger, "I can help you save people, in exchange, you will take us to the slave market."

Goias hesitated for a moment and agreed. Vera felt that it might be a trap for him to nod so happily.

[He has a lot of emotions, but he may not be the accomplice of the city lord. I am not blindly arrogant, but I am quite confident in my ability. What's more... we have someone who can help attract the city lord's attention.]

[Neham?] Vera immediately thought of the Dawn Knight who was being sent away by Link.

[That's right, if you don't go on the road with him, you just don't want to reveal your identity. If there were only three of us, the nobles might be suspicious, but they can't draw conclusions. If you are with him, you will definitely be discovered.] This is why Link deliberately wanted to get rid of Neham. It doesn't matter after entering South Yanzhou, but if you want the nobles to think that he was hiding his whereabouts to investigate secretly and eliminate the slave trade of Nax.

After closing, they met at the back door. While waiting, Link and the other two wandered around the city, one was to understand the city structure, and the other was to get rid of the stalkers.

After returning to the Shadow Thorn Division, the unopposed assassin reported the bad news of the failure of the mission today. The one who hired him was a big mercenary who was injured by Vera earlier.

Except for special circumstances, Shadow Thorns rarely take the initiative to cancel the task. Once they fail, they will send more powerful assassins until the task is completed or the employer is killed.

Just as he was about to send an assassin with a higher rank according to the usual procedures, the branch chief suddenly thought of something and asked the unlucky guy who failed the mission and whether he had his own people around the target?

"A shadow thief with a similar rank to me is not from us."

The branch chief took out a piece of parchment paper with a vivid portrait painting on it. With just a few strokes, the charm of Asa was outlined.

"It's him!" The loser recognized at a glance that this was the wanderer sitting next to the target person.

"Cancel the mission." The branch chief shouted at the assassin who was about to go out for the mission, and his decision stunned everyone.

The branch minister did not intend to explain to his subordinates the secret order from the headquarters - Asa, the hidden thief in Waolet City, successfully recommended himself and became the first mercenary to be taken by the son of nature, Link, and wherever he was there, stop all assassinations related to him.

Although they were full of doubts, neither of the two assassins asked again. The most taboo thing in their business is to ask why?

As Link speculated, Neham's arrival did cause a commotion in Nax City. Because it was the area controlled by Hornheim, the Morning Sect had not officially settled in. After Longyan Fort fell, many people moved away. Most of the population moved in were refugees or homeless villagers nearby. They were either fake believers or atheists who were disappointed with the gods.

The visit of a high-ranking clerk of the Morning Sect was not only the curiosity of the people in the city, but also alarmed Fred. He invited Neham, who was riding a griffin to his residence in the name of the city lord. If it weren't for the Devil's report, he was still chatting with Neham at this moment.

Seeing Fred find a reason to leave with his aide mage in a hurry, Neham knew that Link was also here, otherwise how could a simple mercenary cause trouble be alarmed to the city lord?

When Fred returns, he gets a servant report saying that the Dawn Knights slipped away while they are unprepared.

Pressing the temple that was jumping straight, Fred sat in the study.

Even if the Son of Nature did not visit, Neham's visit still gave him a headache.

If someone else was to change, Fred had already sent someone to kill the nosy guy. But this person, like the son of nature, was also a person who could not be moved casually. Neham was born into a famous aristocratic family, and was the nephew of the sage Claire and the cousin of the Grand Duke of Befest.

"The Chenxi Sect has never intervened in the slave trade for so many years. Why did this time send the future leader of the Dawn Knight, the future successor who was favored by the Grand Priest, to investigate?" Compared to the blood relatives of the nobles, Fred is actually more taboo about Neham's current identity. Not to mention that he is not sure that he will definitely kill the high-level master-level Knight of the Dawn Knight, just thinking that this may come directly from the command of the Supreme Leader of the Dawn, or even the gods, he is afraid of his destiny.
