Quadruple split.

Chapter 381 Slave Trafficking Team

There is no need to recall in too much detail, Mo Tan remembered the source of that 'tattoo' in less than half a second.

Those are two dark red notches, dotted with lines that flow like flames around them. Although the structure is very simple, the wild and uninhibited meaning contained in it is enough to leave a deep impression on people.

Mo Tan's right hand subconsciously pressed onto the hilt of the sword...

Although for the half-dragon knight 'Mo', it was the first time he had seen the fleeting imprint in his game career, but he had seen the other two characters countless times!

He clearly remembered that a hammer warrior had this mark on the back of his hand, Warlord Kalongui had this mark on his battle axe, and the three men who untied themselves when meeting with Futaba all had this mark on their chests, and the wolf boy This mark is on the white leather saddle, on the back of one of the chairs in the Hall of the Purple Nine, and everywhere in the Red Court of Salamune...

Undoubtedly, those two engraved flames can only be the totems of the Fireclaw Clan of the Violet Empire.

And why did people from the Fireclaw clan appear here?Why did I see eyes full of hatred in that startled glance just now?

Mo Tan, who had already knocked out all the secrets from Sackford's mouth in advance, let out a breath, and a cold flame seemed to ignite in his slightly narrowed eyes.

And even if Sak was not interrogated in advance, Archduke Simon also gave the corresponding information in the first half of the last meeting——

'It's still the two oldest workers, one of them claimed that he saw several black carriages appearing in the processing factory one night, and heard the sound of scolding and whips. He is just a commoner and should not exist. reason for lying. '

Mo Tan hadn't arrived at that time, and Futaba conveyed this to him afterwards.

Comparing the information that Sac confessed in advance, and simply estimating the time, Mo Tan is [-]% sure that the orc slaves in those three carriages are the same group of orc slaves who were locked up some time ago, and they should be transported to the Northwest Continent as planned, passing through Black Slave of Mercury Transit Station!
【What a coincidence...】

Mo Tan watched the last carriage pass by in front of him calmly, slowly released his right hand that was lightly pressed on the hilt of the sword, and left the Golden Raspberry Auction House without looking back.

……

twenty minutes later

Ankaji Central Business District, Third Trading Street, [Whistling Pig] Tavern

A slender figure with wings on his back and a hood came in, walked straight to a wooden table in the corner and sat down, took a sip of the sweet lemon juice in front of him, and then looked around cautiously The surroundings lowered their voices and said: "Those three carriages are parked behind the auction house, and no one got off the last two. The dwarf driver of the first carriage booked three rooms in [Red Leaf Pavilion], which is very far away from the auction house. near, and two of them have a direct view of their three carriages from the windows."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Mo Tan, who had been waiting here for a long time, thanked him sincerely, and then asked with a strange expression: "But you can just send me a message and say no, why do you want to 'find a place to pick up'?"

The girl smiled, shook her fingers and said, "Because it's fun, it's always played like this on TV, do you think we have that kind of underground worker feeling now?"

Mo Tan couldn't help but smile, and said with a smile: "It's true, but generally an underground worker who likes to show off like you can't survive three episodes, so it's better to be careful in the future."

"Anxin, those people you mentioned didn't notice me at all."

Ji Xiaoge stuck out her tongue, and then said seriously: "Besides, most of the beautiful characters like me can survive to the end of the film."

She has always been so calm about her out-of-the-ordinary looks, never said anything pretentious, and never used this innate beauty as capital to get along with others, but just accepted the reality with peace of mind, and occasionally watched Not out of pride or self-deprecating as a joke.

【What a rare and good character...】

Mo Tan, who couldn't help laughing, thought so, and then curiously asked Ji Xiaoge, whose face was half hidden under the hood: "But how did you investigate in such detail? You even know the location of their room."

The latter stuffed a small snack into his mouth casually, and said with a light smile, "Because you seemed too serious at the time, I think this matter may be very important, so after the dwarf coachman left, I quietly whispered to you. I went in and inquired about it seriously, the kind that is very, very serious.”

[I am so serious because I hope you can pay attention to safety! 】

Mo Tan scratched the scales on his cheeks speechlessly, wanted to remind the other party but didn't want to pour cold water on Ji Xiaoge who was so dedicated, so he continued to ask: "How serious is it?"

"So serious that I took off my hairband~"

"what?"

Mo Tan was stunned for a moment before realizing: "You mean [Qingguo]..."

"Haha, the name of that talent is too exaggerated."

Ji Xiaoge shook her head and smiled, then blinked and said, "But it's really useful, um, it's a bit too useful."

[Qingguo] There are two passive effects and one active effect in total, which are "a city with a look at it", "independence from the world" and "a country with a look at it". Aside from the last Ji Xiaoge, I never dare The active effect used is not counted. In the state where there is no head equipment to ensure the activation of "Independence from the World", "One Gu Qing Rencheng" can make Mo Tan (limited to the absolute neutral state) such mental determination almost Ghosts and beasts are hard to be immune to. At first there was a big mess in Dragon Soul Town. If Ji Xiaoge hadn't discovered the "independence from the world" that could neutralize this talent in time, it might have caused even bigger troubles ...

Although she has the protection of the system, no matter how weak she is, she will not be hurt, but it is hard to say to what extent that weird passivity that ignores age, gender, and orientation can drive others crazy.

Anyway, Ji Xiaoge hasn't tried to release this talent since she met Mo Tan and the others. She didn't expect that she would make an exception and take off the head gear because of Mo Tan's unexpectedly serious state.

"Uh……"

Despite being moved, Mo Tan immediately asked with lingering fear: "How was the result?"

Ji Xiaoge tugged on the hood with lingering fear, and said with some fear: "You don't want to know, um, anyway, I have asked all the questions that need to be asked, it's your turn~"

"A little personal matter."

Because his next plan was too risky, he didn't really want Ji Xiaoge, who has a strong sense of justice, to know about it, so he just shook his head lightly and said, "It's no big deal."

The girl raised her eyebrows and dragged out a long voice: "Oh~~~?"

Mo Tan was calm and calm, without squinting: "It's really not a big deal. Aren't we going to be guards at the auction house at night? I just thought that those drivers had a vicious temperament and hideous appearance. They looked like the kind of people who would kill people without blinking an eye." Type, so I just let you pay attention to it by being nosy."

Because it is indeed a personal experience, the above content can be regarded as the truth in a sense, but Mo Tan didn't say what he focused on...

"Well, it doesn't look like you're lying."

Ji Xiaoge nodded, and didn't think Mo Tan was lying, but then changed the subject and said with a smile: "But usually you don't judge someone with a vicious temperament and good looks just by one side. It's ugly, so there should be something left to say?"

Mo Tan sweated profusely, and said with a dry smile: "Abominable appearance does not necessarily mean ugly appearance."

The winged beautiful girl whose curiosity was aroused softly snorted, and stared at Mo Tan: "Don't change the subject! You are clearly thinking about something, right?"

Mo Tan really dare not say no, after all [Chivalry: Honesty] this talent is really troublesome, it is not a joke to weaken all attributes by 99% within an hour, and he has tested it several times before, the conclusion It is true that this talent is not inflexible, and it is not that there are loopholes to exploit, but if you lie openly... such as categorically saying that Ji Xiaoge's cooking can't kill people, then it is safe to cut attributes.

Mo Tan didn't tell Ji Xiaoge about this talent, but the latter didn't seem to need him to tell, and saw the problem directly.

Seeing that Mo Tan fell into silence, Ji Xiaoge didn't continue to ask Mo Tan what he was thinking about, but just looked at him with big eyes blinking: "Well, it's about personal privacy?"

Mo Tan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, this matter is really not personal privacy.

Ji Xiaoge's eyes lit up, she flapped her wings and moved to the side of Mo Tan: "Is that very dangerous?"

Mo Tan sighed and nodded.

"Well, that's it. I was wondering if it would be too impolite for me to keep asking. Now it seems that I have to get to the bottom of it." The girl smiled and bumped Mo Tan's shoulder, tilting her head and staring at it. The latter's slightly stiff side face smiled like a flower: "Tell me?"

Mo Tan, who doesn't even have a plan now, shook his head with a stern face. He felt that if Ji Xiaoge and others knew about the slave trade incident, they would definitely not sit idly by, but the risk factor of this matter is too high, Sak It has been clearly stated before that although there are no permanent strongmen in the Black Mercury Transfer Station, the guards who escort the slaves every time are elites sent directly from the Viper Chamber of Commerce. The level has declined in the past few years, but even the weakest lineup has at least one high-level professional in charge, which is by no means easy to deal with.

His previous idea was to look for opportunities to find out first, such as spending money to find someone from the Thieves Union to investigate, and then make a plan based on the opponent's specific lineup. In any case, we must try our best to avoid dragging everyone down, but now...

[No, as expected, I still can’t say it, I can at least use that trick to gamble on my own words...]

Mo Tan took a deep breath, and looked at the opposite wall without squinting, apparently planning to die rather than surrender.

It's fine if there is a powerful boss like Xia Lian among the friends, and it's okay to have someone as strong as Cordoba, but everyone's strength, including Mo Tan himself, can be said to be very average, so It is better not to know than to know.

Then, his head was gently pulled by a small hand, and his whole person was in a trance for an instant...

He saw Ji Xiaoge, who had put down his hood at some point, was looking at him with a smile, shaking his arm coquettishly, and said word by word: "Tell~tell~ren~home~la~"

"Slave Traffickers, I want to save those people...huh!?"

Mo Tan didn't realize it until he was halfway through speaking. He first looked at Ji Xiaoge who was in a daze in horror, then bit his tongue violently, forced himself to close his eyes, and his whole body trembled: "You Yes!?"

Without the cover of the hood, the girl who exuded seductive charm in every move also reacted, lowering her voice and whispering softly: "Slave trade team!?"

At the same time, the sound of knives, forks and chopsticks falling to the ground sounded from all directions.

"Leave this alone!"

Mo Tan pulled Ji Xiaoge's hood up abruptly, then took out two silver coins from his pocket and threw them on the table, grabbed the girl's wrist and ran away.

A few seconds later, with the sound of rumbling footsteps, half of the people in the [Whistling Pig] tavern lobby were gone, and everyone, including the boss behind the counter, ran out screaming and howling!
……

after an hour

North area of ​​Anka Bazaar, House of Blue Carp, Room of Mo Tan

"I was wrong I was wrong..."

Ji Xiaoge, who was leaning against the wall, apologized repeatedly with lowered eyebrows, carefully looked at Mo Tan beside her whose physical value had completely dropped to zero, and was lying on the ground unable to move, and stuck out her tongue playfully: "I don't know what to do either." knew it would turn out like this.”

Mo Tan, who covered the former's escape all the way, raised his head and looked at Ji Xiaoge with difficulty, and said very dejectedly: "I beg you, don't take off the headgear in public, no, not in private!"

Ji Xiaoge touched the tip of her nose, and sneered: "I'll try my best, um, I'm sorry..."

"Forget it, I am also responsible."

Mo Tan, who finally regained a little bit of stamina, barely sat up, and sighed helplessly: "In short, that's what happened. The people who escorted the slaves are very powerful. If we meet head-to-head, we will basically send them away, so we must not act rashly. .”

Ji Xiaoge wrinkled her nose, pouted and complained, "It's fine if you told me otherwise, it's not a big deal."

"Then can you not swim in this muddy water?"

"No! If you see it, you will definitely save people! Didn't your friend say that these slaves have a very miserable end in the end? Those people didn't do anything wrong. How can we just sit back and watch?"

Mo Tan shrugged: "That's why I don't want to talk about it..."

"Is your head a shaft! Helping doesn't necessarily mean death! And didn't you say try not to hit hard?"

"I just said 'try my best'..."

"Even if it's head-to-head, having a helper will have a higher survival rate than going up alone!"

Ji Xiaoge stared at Mo Tan angrily, as if he was a solid piece of wood.

Mo Tan had a helpless expression on his face, with unspeakable suffering, and quite desperately looked away from the [Ni Lin] talent that he had been staring at for a long time.
