"Miss, are you still worried about that little girl?"
The elf guard Frey walked to Carroll's side. Ever since she met the little girl who was selling fake tickets to Carroll, the expression on Carroll's face had been heavy.
"That little girl must have been forced to do this by some underground organization of Nolan. Not only forced, but judging from the scars on her body, she may have been abused."
Caroline knew that she shouldn't meddle in this kind of business, but the little girl's excited expression when she was talking about "This Devil Is Not Too Cold" left a deep impression on Caroline.
She... But a fan of the movie.
"But you can't help her now, maybe Joshua... Mr. has something to do," Frey said.
Carroll's conversation with her elf guard didn't last long, and was soon interrupted by a gruff voice.
"Where are you brats going! The two stoves haven't been fired yet!"
The one who shouted was a dwarf in the blacksmith shop on the street. This old dwarf blacksmith had a loud voice unique to the dwarves, and the rude scolding could almost be heard by pedestrians on the entire street.
The objects he reprimanded were three dwarves who looked relatively young. Carroll couldn't tell the age of the dwarves, because they all looked like a bunch of scruffy uncles, even the youngest dwarves would look like this. .
"Master Orrick! We'll get those irons out later! Brothers... The Frost Axe Clan can't get the upper hand this time! For the Alliance!"
The three young dwarves shouted the slogan "For the Alliance" and rushed out of the blacksmith shop, running towards the entrance of the underground city at the end of the street without looking back.
There were also several dwarf blacksmiths on the street in the same situation, and the dwarves scurrying around also caused a small confusion on the street, but it soon subsided.
"Daughter of the Forest, what happened? Why did the dwarves in this city become so restless." Elder Sepphan walked to Carroll and asked.
"this… "
Caroline is not familiar with Nolan's dwarves, but she has a magical spellcaster forum. If you have any doubts, log in to the spellcaster forum and post a question, then there will be a wise spellcaster to answer for you.
This is also one of the benefits of the caster forum! Just like the "mirror that knows everything" in the story told by the frost elf Taelin.
This time, the caster forum also gave Carroll an answer.
When Caroline opened the magic web, she saw several posts in the recommendation bar in the upper left corner of the caster forum, among which was a post called "Hearthstone Spring Event".
After Caroline browsed the content of the post roughly, she instantly understood why these dwarves were so excited.
"Because of... a reward notice, these dwarves are going to arrest a leader of an underground organization." Caroline explained to Elder Sepphan using a more appropriate analogy.
Caroline doesn't play Hearthstone, so she doesn't know the charm of this card game, but from the scene where several dwarves collectively strike for a card to go to the "spring event", Caroline has Can vaguely feel the horror charm of this game.
However, Caroline hopes that these dwarves who shout "for the alliance" will finally get their wish... From the description of the event, the target "Beautiful Gutama" is a brutal orc, and is still secretly keeping slaves in captivity.
This reminded her inexplicably of the little girl she met before...
"Miss... I seem to have seen that little girl with goat horns on her head just now."
Frey suddenly pulled La Gallorie's sleeve and pointed to an alley at the corner of the street.
…
Riley ran into the crowd, relying on her petite body to weave through the flow of people, and soon walked into an alley in the fringe city of Nolan.
She flipped through her pockets and took out a dozen coins marked with the "white wattle" mark.
Of course the coins were fake tickets, or Riley wouldn't have sold her to anyone else, and she'd spent these Whitebud Theatre tickets rewatching two of her favorite movies a dozen times.
It's a pity... these are just her fantasies.
As a hybrid of demon and human, she lives at the bottom of Nolan, and it is usually a problem to even eat a full meal, not to mention going to a place like the Bai Jinghua Theater to watch a movie.
But there are still some surprises in the hard life, even if Riley recalls it now, she still feels joy...
Because this time she met the star of "The Devil Is Not Too Cold" outside the city... Matilda!
She will not admit it wrong, even though "Matilda"'s hair has grown a little longer than in the movie, but she still clearly remembers the appearance of Matilda in the movie.
Riley really wanted to stop and ask her a few questions, like is Leon still alive, where did you go after that, etc...
But unfortunately, a grumpy voice woke Riley from her fantasy.
"You! How many tickets did you sell today?"
An orc emerged from the shadows at the end of the alley, staring fiercely at Riley before him.
Riley didn't dare to speak at all, her young body kept shaking, and she could only hand the remaining coins to the orc.
"Only two? What a waste..."
The orc grabbed the coin in Riley's hand, and the huge force caused Riley's body to lose her balance and sit on the ground, and the orc walked to the depths of the alley without looking back.
"Why are you still sitting there?!"
Riley bit her lip and stood up from the ground, a sharp pain from her ankle, but she managed to keep up with the orc.
As a demon hybrid, it is not easy for her to survive in Nolan. Although she joined the Black Dove organization, it was a pity that her luck was not very good, and finally she joined the most dangerous branch organization of the Black Dove. , or a tribe of orcs.
Riley also thought about running away, but the orcs kept their slaves under strict supervision. She had seen the beauty Gutama cut the neck of a slave with her own eyes.
She followed the orc to a dilapidated underground tavern deep in the alley. The tavern led to the city's sewers, and the surroundings were dark. Without the orc leading the way, Riley could not find the exit or entrance at all.
After more than ten minutes of walking, light finally appeared in front.
This is a slightly crowded hollow. Dilapidated wooden boards and iron pillars are spliced together to form a simple house. Riley was soon thrown into a crowded hut by the orcs who led the way, and the door was locked.
She is lucky enough to have her own hut, although it's not big...
Riley walked to the corner of the hut and crouched down. On the wooden walls were posters of several movies, many of them from "Beauty and the Devil" and "The Devil's Not Too Cold." .
These were all collected by Riley all by herself in Nolan. These posters all look a little old. The latest one is the poster for the new movie "Hachiko", which will be released in two days. .
How many fake tickets must be sold to exchange for a real ticket? Riley curled up in the corner of the room, looking at the posters on the boards.
And she should have said hello to Matilda just now.
These questions flashed through Riley's mind, and just as sleepiness gradually swept towards her, there was suddenly a lot of loud noises outside.
Riley immediately placed herself on the wooden board of the hut and listened to the sounds outside, the most prominent shout was...
"For the Alliance!!"
