Located in the capital of Erit, it has always been bustling with activity.

But I didn't expect it to be so near the market.

It is the base camp for those people who trade slaves.

Lily sniffed again.

Sure enough... it was the unusual smell I smelled before, stained with a little bit of rotten blood.

It seems like something is happening... no, it has already happened.

198. Drive straight into

Perhaps Yaerti also came here to follow this taste.

And Lily relied on her intuition and let the girl lead her here.

As if being guided by something.

"Do these people know that there are slaves hiding here?" Lily asked.

Boni said: "I heard from them that many people know..."

Some people are even passionate about it.

The slave industry was neither legal nor illegal in Erit.

Prisoners of war, captives, descendants of criminals, people of a different race or country - all could become slaves.

The people above were absolutely tolerant of the existence of these slaves, and would even participate in them.

"As long as you are not a citizen of Erit and do not hold proof of nationality of your own country or another country, you may be captured by those people and used as a slave." Boni said, "But proof... Even if you are a native Erit, who has such a thing? It's tiring enough just to live..."

Bernie and Lily sat behind the wall, secretly looking at the building.

The building looks like a big prison and is tightly sealed inside.

Boni continued, "It's OK when we stay in the village. Everyone takes care of each other. But once you leave the village, who knows who anymore?"

Boni became angrier as she spoke, but her tone was full of powerlessness.

Even the sleepy Lily could sense Bernie's uneasiness.

I just stretched out my little hand unconsciously.

"...Ah. But speaking of it, how do we get in?" Lily was about to say something when Bernie interrupted the topic without her permission.

But there are indeed more important things to do now.

In front of us was the door of the building - but it was tightly closed.

Inside the building was where the group collected and sold slaves... It was said that many buyers came here to bid for the slaves. Maybe the sale had already begun.

It’s just that ordinary people don’t know about it, so it seems very hidden.

Lily scratched her head and tried to give some advice:

"…Push open the door?"

"……Then what?"

"Walk in?"

"Are you really going to walk in like that?!"

Boni looked at the innocent Lily, wondering if there was something wrong with this girl's brain circuit...

After all, there are many more people inside, and the two little girls look more like robbers...

However, waiting here all the time is not a solution.

Passive waiting is obviously not Lily's habit.

...Maybe she seems more accustomed to making others wait.

Lily thought for a moment and asked, "What does your sister look like?"

"Hey, why are you asking this suddenly?" Boni hesitated for a moment, then poked her chin with her finger, thinking: "... Well, she is about the same height as me, but a little shorter by a hair? We were born on the same day, but she became my older sister just half an hour earlier..."

Twins? Lily was a little surprised.

After all, we often see such settings in stories.

"To be specific..."

The girl thought for a moment: "Her hair should be longer than mine, and then..."

However, before Bernie could finish her words, Lily walked out from behind the wall on her own.

"Hey? Where are you going?" Bernie grabbed Lily.

Lily seemed to want to hide, but her sleepy body wouldn't allow her to do so.

"Go in." Lily could only explain seriously: "If you don't want to go. I can go in alone... Don't worry, I will protect your sister."

“They really broke in like this!!!”

Even if this girl really has the magical power to fight those people, it is impossible for her to sweep through their entire stronghold by herself... The magician inside is not comparable to the man before.

A more covert operation would undoubtedly be safer -

No - Bernie suddenly thought that Lily's intention... wasn't to force her way in?

Boni lowered her head and pinched her chin, muttering to herself: "...If we walk in like this...they definitely didn't expect us to go in so openly...They are still outside looking for me, there shouldn't be so many people inside...Breaking through from the front like this might really be a good idea...as long as we do it quietly..."

Bernie suddenly realized what was going on, clapped her hands and said to Lily, "So that's what you meant. You should have said it earlier."

Although Lily didn't quite understand...she still nodded her head.

"Quietly...quietly..."

……

“——Crack!!!”

"boom--!!!"

The wooden door under the building flew with wood chips, and the door lock shattered under the mysterious force. The originally tight door collapsed in an instant with a loud bang!

The sound of the wooden door shattering filled the entire building, and the remaining momentum then slammed the broken door panel hard against the wall!

People on the street looked back, but they only saw a little girl holding her head tightly at the broken door:

"——You really are forcing your way in like this!!!"

Lily opened the door decisively... or rather, too decisively...

At least it was a little far from the "quietly" that Bernie imagined.

Behind the door is a small staircase leading straight up.

"...No?" Lily tilted her head.

"That's definitely not possible!!! They will be here soon!!!"

Boni held her head and heard heavy footsteps coming up the stairs.

"Who?! What for?!"

The roar soon came over. The man appeared from the corner of the stairs.

Sure enough, it’s here!

Boni couldn't help but want to hold her head.

I was just thinking about doing it quietly, but ended up disturbing the other person before I even entered the door!

The man held a magic wand as a weapon. He was surprised to see that there were only two little girls outside the door.

After all, this was originally an abandoned dead door, and it was completely locked.

Originally, the forceful opening could only be seen as a provocation. I thought it was a magician from another place causing trouble...

But the man took another closer look and found the girl looked familiar.

I seemed to understand something in my heart.

"...So it's you? I asked those losers to look for someone, but they still couldn't find him after such a long time... I didn't expect you to dare to come back?"

The man hurried downstairs and saw Lily's young face again:

"And you brought me an extra one? That's really—"

The man didn't have time to wonder how the two little girls had the strength to break down the door - or how Bernie had the courage to come back.

Then I saw Lily patting the wall beside her with her little hands again:

"[Disorganization]."

The originally neat wall surface actually showed fine cracks, and the peeled thin columns jumped up.

"……magic?!"

The man's eyes narrowed, and the strangeness that he had not felt before finally appeared!

The extra girl is not a gift...but the strongest support for Bernie to return here!

Lily raised her right hand high, and the small pieces of stone that jumped out from the wall had not yet taken shape - the man's intuition made him wave the magic wand in his hand without hesitation, and the engraved spell shot out a fine barrage of magic!

"Lily!..." Bernie shouted nervously.

However, the bullets that were about to hit Lily and Bernie were all deflected by the stones floating in front of Lily, leaving dark holes in the wall. The effect of [Path Refraction] blocked all the opponent's attacks with almost incredible accuracy.

Before the man could react, the broken stones turned into a barrage of bullets that hit him from all angles, and the man fell to the ground instantly!

Bernie at the back was still nervously reaching out her hand, but the battle was over in an instant.
