"You said you were a baby, but how can a baby talk so much?"
Iyas grumbled to herself, but she would not give up because of this little setback.
"I know you are an irrelevant person. I apologize for asking you to help me without permission. Just now you said that you saved me out of kindness, so can you please be kind and help me save my brother?"
Iyas still believed that since Yang Yu could rescue her from the dark research institute, he would definitely be able to find the auction house and rescue her brother.
"You really haven't gotten the point of the question." The smile on his face disappeared, and Yang Yu's expression suddenly became extremely serious. "First, can you answer a question for me?"
Although she didn't know what Yang Yu was planning, since he was the only hope now, Iyas could only follow Yang Yu's pace.
"what is the problem?"
"A simple question." Yang Yu paused for a moment before continuing, "Do you know that your brother and you were auctioned off by that auction house?"
"I don't know, but if you just do some research on this kind of thing, you should be able to find out."
"I don't know, but if we just do some research on this kind of question, we should be able to find out."
As soon as Iyas opened her mouth, Yang Yu also opened his mouth, and they both said the same sentence in unison.
Yias couldn't help but widen her eyes, as if Yang Yu already knew what she was thinking and told her in a joking tone that the real facts were very different from what she thought.
"The human race is much larger than you think." Yang Yu leaned back in his chair, looking relaxed. "Let's take the example just now. A few children scribbled at the door of your house. You wouldn't blame all the children in your village. Then, expand the scope of children. Suppose there is another village next to your village. Would your family's problems have anything to do with the children in that village
If you can, then imagine another village next to yours, and repeat this a hundred times. Will the children in the ninety-nine villages next to yours know that the children in your village have graffitied on your door? Even if they can, how long will it take?"
Iyas was speechless. Not to mention that there were ninety-nine villages between them, it would take a long time for a piece of news to spread from one end of the village to the other.
Yang Yu smiled disdainfully, "Then do you know how many auction houses we humans have?"
Iyas shook her head. "I know it will take a lot of time and energy to search everyone, but I'm really worried about my brother's safety, so please!"
After saying this, Iya lowered his head without hesitation, and his words were more sincere.
Noble elves rarely bow their heads to others, unless they really have to. Iyas has gradually realized the seriousness of the matter and the difficulty of solving the problem, but her only hope is the young man in front of her. She sincerely hopes that the young man in front of her can lend a helping hand.
However, Yang Yu just smiled coldly at her, "Goodwill also requires ability and price. Just like when a person is sick, you can't ask someone who doesn't know anything about medicine to treat him, right
I don’t know how many auction houses there are in the world.”
Yang Yu's words ruthlessly shattered Iyas's fantasy.
“Almost all major cities have auction houses, and some larger towns also have them.
Human beings now have three countries. One country is made up of countless cities, and there are some scattered towns around the cities. The one we are staying in now is just one of them.
There are at least 10,000 people in this town. If you don't believe me, I can take you out to see it now. In such a human society, being able to remember all the people in the town is a genius among geniuses.
This is different from the small village that you can't see when you look up.
To walk through so many small towns, looking for your missing brother, is like looking for a needle in a haystack."
Ten thousand people? And it was just one village? Even he didn't know how many villages there were like this? Were there so many humans
Iyas felt like her brain was going to shut down.
"Do you know how much it would cost me to help you
First of all, since you don’t know where the auction house that sells your product is, we can only investigate one by one. It is completely normal for towns to be dozens or hundreds of kilometers apart. It will take a lot of time and travel expenses just to investigate.
You don't even know the concept of estimating the travel expenses. To put it another way, you can't go without food, right? You need a lot of food to walk so far. Human towns don't have hunting everywhere like you do, where you can easily pick vegetables."
"Don't underestimate me, we also have the concept of money!"
"You should understand what I just said, right?" Yang Yu stood up and opened the door for Iyas. "We are strangers. I rescued you from the dark underground and saved you from the cruel fate. I have done my best. Go now! I gave you this dress for free. You can fend for yourself!"
Iyas wanted to say something, but seeing Yang Yu's expression, which was as if he was talking to a deaf person, anger surged in her heart and she walked towards the door angrily.
"Really? I get it. If you don't want to help, forget it! Even if I'm alone, I will definitely rescue my brother! No matter where he is, I will rescue him!"
Iyas walked past Yang Yu without looking back and walked into the long and narrow corridor.
Humph—really, if you don't want to help, then don't help. Money is dispensable. It's just a tool to facilitate transactions. Even without money, I can still rely on my skills to find food and survive. Although it will take some time, as long as I persist, one day I will rely on my own strength to search all the towns of humans. Huck, you must wait for me.
After going down the stairs, Iyas walked out of the hotel. The sun was shining brightly outside.
"The sun never changes no matter where it is." Iyas raised her hand to block the dazzling sunlight. It took her some time to adjust. "A human town is nothing more than a slightly larger village. As an excellent elf warrior, this little difficulty will never defeat me."
Putting down her hands, what came into Iyas's sight were rows of houses, roads paved with bluestone slabs that stretched as far as the eye could see, merchants of all kinds setting up stalls on the street, the town was bustling with traffic, and there was no sign of a forest around.
"How could that be? How could these people survive without the forest?" Iyas was amazed.
At this time, a little girl who was looking around found Iyas who was stunned, and raised her hand playfully and pointed at Iyas.
"Mom, look! It's an elf! It's a real elf. Just like in the book!"
The childish voice exploded into the crowd like a bomb. For a moment, almost everyone on the street looked at Iyas.
