Lily reached back and pulled Bernie up.

Well-behaved and calm, as if he wasn't fighting... but just taking a normal walk down the street.

Bernie followed stiffly and walked forward... Even though Lily walked very slowly this time, Bernie didn't have the heart to urge her.

Walking to the man, Boni looked at the blood dripping down and felt a little uncomfortable.

But I don't feel sorry for this man.

Bernie just felt a little sorry for the girl who seemed to be used to this scene.

Did this girl go through something in the past?

At least, Bernie herself does not have such courage and momentum.

Just a few days ago, the cruelty of the world was still far away from Bernie.

Lily's little foot accidentally stepped on the magic wand that the man had held before, and her body was unstable for a moment. Bernie noticed the stick that fell from the man's hand, hesitated for a moment, bent down to pick it up, and quickly followed Lily.

"But how should I use this..."

Bernie was a little distracted after getting this magic weapon.

……

"Someone is coming up!!! All of them below have been dealt with..."

"Who? The court magician? They obviously wouldn't care about such a small matter..."

"Maybe there's something wrong with the person we arrested before... Maybe that person is here for revenge..."

"The sale has just begun... If they are not from the palace, stop them all... No, we should get rid of them here!"

"…Do your best, or you'll end up in trouble! Don't let them disturb the people down there—"

However, several people blocked the corridor in front of the stairs. In the tense atmosphere, only light footsteps and the crisp sound of chains could be heard.

After a while, they noticed a little black-haired girl slowly popping her head out from the stairs behind the corridor.

"?"

Where is the magician? Several people had some question marks in their heads.

Until someone noticed that the stones around Lily were floating around her.

"She is the magician! Don't be fooled!" someone shouted.

"Cast magic—"

Of course Lily would not lie, it was just that a few people misunderstood and thought that the magician was someone else.

However, they soon regretted their misunderstanding. The stones surrounding the black-haired girl gathered and spread out rhythmically, blocking almost all of their attacks!

"What happened...did the attack not work?"

"No...it was bounced off...all of them!"

"How is that possible? That kind of precision—"

"Be careful!!!"

However, the next moment, the stones flying in front of the girl knocked down all of them!

They only noticed that the black-haired girl was rubbing her eyes sleepily, but they didn't realize that the attack was already close to them!

The corridor became quiet again.

"It's over? It's gone?"

Bernie poked her head out from behind and saw that the scattered stones in front of her had gathered again in front of Lily.

Only then could Bernie take a closer look at the scene in the corridor.

The long corridor was dark and completely lit by lamps, and the knocked-down men were lying against the wall in scattered positions.

When my feet stepped on the floor of the corridor, I felt the soft carpet.

There was a sound of wooden boards breaking and falling to the ground coming from the stairs behind Bernie. That was the second door that Lily had just blasted open.

This is the third floor of the building.

"There is nothing here..."

Boni pushed open the door on the corridor and found the room inside was empty.

Those slaves who were with Bernie didn't seem to be here.

Bernie did jump off this building.

There seemed to be two more floors above the destination.

But after dealing with the people on the first two floors...it seemed that no one could stop Lily and Bernie for the time being.

The whole journey was like a flood destroying a castle on the beach.

Only then did Bernie feel that her worry about Lily was unnecessary.

But...it feels a little strange.

"Where did those people go..."

Lily made such a big noise just now, the people in the building who had blocked Bernie should have shown up.

Lily was indeed quick in dealing with them...but the number shouldn't have stopped there.

If the slaves were indeed stored upstairs as Bernie said, there shouldn't be any lack of human activity.

But upstairs was much quieter than I had imagined.

Lily also felt something strange and just sniffed her little nose.

…That unusual smell seemed to be right above me.

But now it is very quiet.

Perhaps Yaerti came here, but now no one knows whether she is still there.

After Bernie left, something seemed to have happened there.

Perhaps the only way to know is to go up and take a look.

"Sisters...what are they doing..." Bernie behind her seemed to have noticed Lily's expression and spoke with some concern.

Lily just walked forward on her own.

"As expected... let's go up and take a look..."

Bernie looked around without any results, but saw Lily suddenly stop at the end of the corridor.

"What's wrong?" Bernie asked.

On the second floor, Lily had also stopped here. It seemed that there was something unusual here.

But after a careful inspection, Boni found neither gaps nor any mechanisms.

It's just a solid wall.

But at this moment, Lily suddenly touched the solid wall with her little hand again.

The wall was cracked with layers of lines scattered around.

"This is……?"

Bernie leaned forward in surprise.

Behind the wall was a dark vertical passage going down.

A thick rope hangs in the center.

Bernie leaned her head over and looked up.

This passage runs from underground all the way to the top floor.

"What is this place for..."

Bernie thought about it and had some guesses in her mind.

This is not a passage for humans...it is for goods - things like cages.

By means of a hook at the end of the sling, the cargo can be transported from above to the ground one level below.

...Perhaps, my sisters are no longer there.

There's more stuff underneath this building.

The passage itself is tightly wrapped by the wall. I'm afraid there is only an opening on the fifth floor to transport goods to the bottom.

Therefore, Lily and the others didn't realize that there was a road leading underground.

"There's someone down there," Lily said.

A mixed noise kept echoing below.

The underground space is even more spacious than expected.

There are probably many more humans there than what Bernie said before.

In comparison, the people I just met were insignificant.

Lily thought about it, then pulled Bernie and pointed downwards.

"Are we...going down?" Bernie noticed what Lily meant and looked down: "But...I can't find the way down..."

The secrecy of this underground space is beyond imagination.

The channel is also just for supplying goods.

However, Lily just nodded:

"Go down."

"Hey, but how do I get off..."

"Let's go."

“Where to… ehhhhhhh?!!!”

Before Bernie could react.
