"So, this Sakshiri is your subordinate?" Li Huailin asked. Of course, the battle at the scene was already over. Against a Saint-level being, resistance was basically futile. Of course, because they wanted to ask some questions, these people were basically still alive. However, they were all lying on the ground, unable to stand up. Li Huailin and the others surrounded Candace and started asking questions.
"Yes, yes …" Candace could only nod. He already knew who these people were. Wasn't this a joke? The Human Empire's Emperor, the Human Empire's Duke, and there was even a Saint-level being. How was he supposed to deal with this? Candace did not even bother to resist, and it seemed like he was ready to confess.
"That saves me a lot of trouble." Li Huailin was in a good mood because he didn't know which stronghold it was, but he didn't expect to get it first, which saved him a lot of trouble. "So, what's the situation? If you can explain it clearly, I can let you live."
Candace really told them about this matter because he did not know how serious it was. What he knew was that about three or four months ago, something happened to one of his slave-catching teams. About a dozen captured slaves rioted and killed the captain of the slave-catching team, Sakshiri, and many of his subordinates. Of course, Candace suffered heavy losses. The loss of a team could affect the entire performance. So, at that time, Candace also led his team to chase after the slaves. Of course, in the end, he did not manage to catch Anthony and the others.
Candace didn't know that the slave he captured was Anthony, so he didn't understand why Li Huailin and the others were asking about it. In his opinion, this wasn't a very important matter, and it wasn't related to the organization's secrets. Of course, he didn't mind telling them. Why would he want to risk his life? Of course, he had another reason to ask, which was Sodero. After all, Sodero was a member of the organization just like him. Now, it seemed that Sodero had cleared his name. It was also possible to clear his name using Candace. Of course, Candace spoke up.
"That's good enough," Li Huailin said. "Do you remember where these slaves were caught?"
"I remember." Candace nodded. He did remember this place because Anthony and the others had run away. Of course, Candace sent people to chase after them. Unfortunately, it was too late. Anthony and the others had already disappeared. So, Candace thought that they might have run back to their original place. At that time, he thought that they were villagers living nearby, so he asked someone to take him to the place where they were caught. Of course, they did not find them in the end because Anthony and the others had already run into human territory. However, Candace still had some impression of this place.
Since Candace still had an impression of this place, he immediately took action. Li Huailin brought his people to the target location, while Tyr and Sodero stayed behind to deal with the remaining human traffickers. Of course, they did not kill them. Instead, they escorted them back. Originally, Melglin wanted to leave immediately because he had already caught the people. However, he was still dragged along by Li Huailin.
In short, the remaining four people immediately began to hurry. Of course, because they were all NPCs, Li Huailin could just summon Millet and fly over. Moreover, it was not too far away from the Ganga Tribe. This was because the location was at the junction of the human, elven, and orc kingdoms. It was close to the military camp in the north. Of course, it was not too far from the Ganga Tribe.
"Wait, wait, wait … It should be near here … Wait, something doesn't seem right …" Candace said as he looked down.
"Motherf * cker, do you know him or not?" Li Huailin picked Candace up and said, "Is it him or not? Give me a definite answer."
"Your Grace, I've only been here once. Also, as you can see, the terrain here is almost the same. I'm really a little … Also, I'm not very sure since I'm in the air. Why don't I go down and take a look?" Candace said helplessly.
Li Huailin and the others found a temporary stronghold of slave traders. At that time, Anthony should have been captured near this temporary stronghold and escaped on the way to the elven headquarters. Therefore, they should find the stronghold and look around. However, this temporary stronghold was too temporary. Basically, even if it was a field camp, there would probably be nothing but a few tents. This was because it was originally a temporary camp. The slave hunters would set up camp here and capture people nearby. Then, they would gather them and send them to the headquarters. However, because the third slave hunter team had been destroyed, the camp was of course deserted. In addition, it was winter now, and the mountains were covered in snow. Everything was white, and it was difficult to see clearly from the air.
Although Candace had been here once, he could only rely on his memory to find the location. The group landed directly on the ground and began to look around. However, they did not see any camp, but the general location should be correct. In other words, this place might be the place where Anthony was captured. Even if they could not find the camp, it would be good to let Anthony remember something.
"Well, let's follow the map." Anthony had also prepared a map. He took it out and said, "We are now here, and the Ganga tribe is in the southeast of us. However, the camp of the first legion was in the southeast, which means that if I were to take something back to the barracks, there was no need for me to pass through here."
"That just means that the people who beat you until you lost your memory should not be the slave hunters. They might have just caught you by chance." Li Huailin said, "Because you were attacked on the way, you ran north, then came to this place, and happened to be captured. You can probably explain it this way."
"Yes." Anthony also agreed with Li Huailin's statement. "In this case, the place where I was captured should be a little south of here. I think there should be no problem going this way."
They followed Anthony all the way to the south, and Anthony looked around and carefully recalled his memories. However, there was no landmark around because there was snow everywhere. Even Li Huailin did not know the location, let alone Anthony who had lost his memory. After walking for a while, Anthony also gave up. "This is so difficult. Although I should know that it is near here, but …"
"There is a village near here," Candace suddenly said.
"What?" Li Huailin turned his head directly. "There is a village?"
"Yes, I remember. The last time I chased someone, I came here because a few slaves were captured from this village. This village should be deserted now because the people are all …"
"Captured by you, right?" Li Huailin said.
"Yes, I thought they escaped back, but when I came to look, there was no one in the village, so I went elsewhere to look." Looking at Li Huailin's face, Candace said immediately. "It's here …"
There was nothing else to say. They couldn't find the place now, so they could only go to the village to take a look. Maybe they would encounter some surprises. Following Candace, they walked in the direction of the village. This was a small village that was not even marked on the map, and it was probably deserted. Li Huailin and the others walked for a while and found such a village that seemed to be almost buried in the snow, but … the village did not feel deserted.
"There are people here." Candace also said a little strangely. There were indeed people living in the village because there was smoke coming from the houses. Of course, this was the smoke of burning firewood. Although it was not mealtime, such a cold place needed to burn firewood all day, otherwise, people would have frozen to death.
This was really a very small village. There were about a dozen houses in the entire village, and only three of them were smoking. The other houses were almost buried in snow, probably uninhabited. However, these three houses seemed to be occupied because when Li Huailin walked to the door, he saw footprints on the ground. Since there were footprints in this weather, of course, someone passed by not long ago. It seemed that the other party was still at home.
"What's wrong?" Li Huailin saw that Anthony seemed to have some reaction, so he asked immediately.
"I'm thinking …" Anthony also frowned, then said, "Let's see if there is anyone here first. Let's ask."
Walking to the front of the first house, Li Huailin directly knocked on the door. However, after waiting for a while, there was no response at all. Li Huailin looked at the front door and saw that it was not locked, so he pushed the door open and walked in. When the door opened, Li Huailin saw two NPCs. These two were very old people, the kind that looked to be above 60 years old. They seemed to be a couple, sitting by the fireplace. The old man was resting with his eyes closed, and the old woman was knitting beside him.
"Um, I knocked on the door," said Li Huailin.
"I heard you," answered the old woman. "Who are you? Slave hunters? I'm useless to you at my age. There are only seven old people left in the village, and there is no one else to catch. If it is bandits, we have no money, so you should leave. "
"You are from this village?" asked Li Huailin.
"Yes," answered the old woman. The old man beside her did not wake up and continued to sleep.
"Strange, why was there no one here last time?" Candace also felt a little strange. Of course, he did not think that he would bring so many fierce people here. Of course, these old people were not idiots. Of course, they would hide when they saw them.
"Oh, we are not bandits. I just wanted to ask if you have seen this guy?" Li Huailin directly pulled Anthony aside and asked.
"Huh?" The old woman's eyesight was not very good. She looked at Anthony and suddenly said, "Wait, it's you? You escaped? Where is my grandson, Vince? "
