In the corner of the inn.
A fat man sitting in the shadows whispered a few words to a waiter. The waiter nodded and came to the bar. "Moroder wants to talk to you."
The man in front of the bar frowned and nodded, "I'll be there in a moment."
He waved his hand and arranged for one of his men to sit in front of the bar. Then he walked to the shadows and sat down. "Moroder, you old fox. Don't tell me you're interested in that girl?"
The fat man poured himself a glass of wine and looked up at him. Although his face was full of fat, his movements were not as slow as his appearance suggested. "Kofan. That little girl just now was not bad. Many nobles liked this kind of style recently. If you catch her, I'm sure I can sell her for this price. "
The fat Moroder raised five fingers and said slowly, "500 Kindler coins."
"I'm sure a lot of nobles with special interests would be willing to pay this price for a pretty girl like her."
Kofan frowned. He looked at the fat man and said in a deep voice, "You know what?"
"You're breaking my rules. I won't do this in my own inn."
The fat man smiled and shrugged. He moved his head closer and said, "You've sold hundreds of women to me. Don't tell me your basement is clean. It's up to you whether you want to do this or not. I'm sure you can get rid of that girl quickly. A lot of nobles like her. "
Kofan seemed to hesitate. He lowered his voice and said, "That guy isn't easy to deal with. He seems to be a rogue. He's very vigilant."
"I can't let anyone die in my inn. Otherwise, the security team will come after me."
The fat man in the corner smiled strangely and said in a low voice, "We don't have to worry about anyone dying. We're just merchants, not killers, right?"
"I have a potion I bought from a wizard. You just have to put it on a towel and cover your nose and mouth. It'll make you lose the ability to resist. When that guy leaves, you can arrange for someone to go in and take the girl away with a sack. He's just an outsider. He can't do anything here. If necessary, we can … "
Moroder made a throat-slitting gesture and said in a low voice, "500 Kindler coins isn't a small sum."
"I knew you had plans to stop. After this, you can buy a small manor."
Ke Fan was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Fine. But I need your men to do it. "
"The price has to be raised to 600 Kindler. Based on my experience over the years, that little girl is definitely of the highest quality. When she grows up, she will definitely be a great beauty."
Moroder hesitated for a moment before extending his hand. "You really are a greedy old dog."
"Deal."
"I'll give you the money after the goods are sold. Don't worry, such good goods are very popular with the nobles. "
Ke Fan stretched out his hand and said in a deep voice, "Alright."
The big man got up from the table and gave a look to the thug next to him. Then, he entered the kitchen at the back.
A tall and skinny man turned around and whispered to Moroder, "Boss, I'm not sure what to do next. Is it really worth it to make a move here for a little girl? The Whiterun guards have been very strict recently. Besides, 600 Kindler coins is too high a price. From what I can see, she can't be worth more than 200 Kindler coins. "
"What do you know?!"
Moroder frowned and looked at him. "That little girl is a bit special."
"How could she be sold to those old dogs? I know some people who are willing to pay a high price for this kind of special goods."
The tall, thin man shuddered when he heard this. Then, he remembered some bad memories.
Naturally, not all of the women and children who were abducted from the slums of the old city were sold to the nobles of Whiterun or sold as slaves. There were other creatures who were willing to pay a high price for goods from them, especially pure virgins and those with special bloodlines. People who wandered in the gray area would always have dealings with the Umbral Realm. Some of the creatures hiding in the human society had always been the biggest customers of human trafficking.
It was already an unspoken rule of the Umbral Realm to not attack ordinary people. Many special creatures had secretly made connections with human trafficking.
As long as the transaction was completed, there would be no trouble.
If the goods that were sold accidentally died, there would naturally be buyers who would take care of them.
Moroder frowned and looked at the man next to him. "How are you going to make a lot of money with me if you're so timid? We'll leave after this. The situation is getting more and more unstable. "
"Do it when you have the chance."
…
Second floor, in a room.
Søren put Vivian down and looked around the room.
He took out some things from his multi-dimensional bag and squatted in front of Vivian. "There are all kinds of people here. Be careful when I go out."
Søren took out a dagger and handed it to the little girl. "Do you still remember what I taught you?"
Vivian gently nodded her little head and reached out to take the dagger. She whispered, "I remember."
"Don't worry, big brother."
Søren hesitated for a moment, but he was still worried. Vivian was born with over 20 points of Charisma, and people with high Charisma tended to attract a lot of attention. It would be fine if she was an adult who could protect herself, but she was only an eight-year-old girl. It was too easy for people to covet her.
This was especially true for human trafficking. Human trafficking in every city was an important source of income for the Umbral Realm.
Nobles, prostitutes, black market slaves, and even vampires.
As a Rogue, Søren knew all too well what the Umbral Realm did, so he always tried to keep Vivian in his line of sight. He was very wary of this world. Perhaps it was because he had been exposed to too much of the dark side as a Rogue. He always felt that the people he met were from the Umbral Realm. This was a very dark and chaotic era. The law was often just a decoration. What restricted people's behavior was more of a belief and morality.
These two things were the most difficult to determine.
Søren wanted to go to the Adventurer's Guild to inquire about the news and see if he could find someone to go with him. He now had some Kindler in his hands. He might need to go to some special places to meet some people and buy some prohibited weapons from them at a high price.
The journey to Autumnfall was not peaceful.
At this time, it was not convenient to bring Vivian with him, but Søren was not at ease if he did not bring her along.
"Big brother."
Vivian reached out her small hand and held Søren's hand. As if she knew that he was a little worried, she whispered, "When you go out, I'll stay in the room alone."
"I promise I won't run around!"
Søren hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."
"I'll go out and inquire about the situation and see if there's any other way to leave."
"You stay in the room and don't run around. I'll be back in half a day at most. I'll find a place to stay tomorrow. "
As Søren's figure left, the two people in the inn immediately looked at each other.
The fat Moroder winked at the thin man next to him and handed him a bottle of potion.
"Be quick."
He whispered to the thin man, "I'll go to the back and help you. Once you get it, go to the same place. I'll find a way to contact the buyer. "
"Will Kowan be angry if we do it now?" The thin man asked.
Moroder glared at him and said in a low voice, "That old dog is willing to sell his own sister for money. As long as we get the money, who cares?"
Inside the room.
Vivian was playing with a dagger out of boredom. If Søren were here, he would definitely be surprised. The little girl was able to play with the dagger like a flower. It was exactly how he used to train his fingers when he was bored.
"I really want to grow up faster!"
The little girl tilted her head and spun the dagger in her hand. Because of her small hand, the difficulty was even higher than Søren's. Although she wasn't as fast as Søren, she didn't make any mistakes. If she made a mistake, she would cut her fingers.
Clang! Clang!
Someone knocked on the door.
The little girl stood up and hid the dagger behind her back. She shouted, "Who is it?"
"A waiter from the inn."
A man's voice came from outside the door. "The boss asked me to bring up the food."
Food?
The little girl was confused and muttered, "They give out free food here?"
Most inns only provided accommodation. The food had to be bought from the bar in front.
Vivian held the dagger in her small hand and opened the door with a frown. She looked outside.
Sure enough, there was a tall and thin man carrying food. There was also a towel beside him.
The little girl couldn't help but sigh in relief. She leaned to the side and hid the dagger. She said softly, "Please put it on the table."
The tall and thin man looked around the room and couldn't help but smile. He quickly entered the room and closed the door. Then, he picked up the towel beside him and rushed towards Vivian.
In an instant!
The little girl bent over to dodge. Just as the tall and thin man rushed in and closed the door, she felt that something was wrong. When the tall and thin man picked up the towel to cover her mouth and nose, Vivian instantly took out the dagger. She raised a finger and uttered a strange syllable. Then, a strong light exploded in the room.
Blood splattered everywhere.
The tall and thin man in front of her lost his target. When he bent over, the little girl waved the dagger and slashed his right eye. One of his eyes was destroyed on the spot.
There was a suppressed scream.
The tall and thin man covered his eye with his hand and suddenly grabbed at the little girl.
Although Vivian had already dodged, she was too small and too slow. After using all her strength to swing the dagger, she couldn't dodge in time.
— — Lightning Shock.
The tall and thin man who had already grabbed the little girl and was about to choke her suddenly trembled. An arc of electricity jumped on Vivian's fingertips. The tall and thin man's whole body twitched as if he had epilepsy. His grip on the little girl's arm loosened weakly.
There was a flash of cold light.
Vivian instantly used the dagger to stab the tall and thin man's left eye.
The tall and thin man's whole body stiffened and then he became motionless.
The little girl's face showed a trace of horror. She looked at the blood on her hand and the dagger fell to the ground.
But.
She quickly took a deep breath and then reached out to pick up the dagger. She quietly glanced outside. After making sure that no one else was disturbed, she immediately picked up the things and ran out of the room. In front of the hotel lobby, the little girl suddenly stopped. Then, she turned around and slipped into the backyard. She went out through a small dog hole.
Ignoring the mud all over her body, Vivian got out of the dog hole and sprinted outside.
