"Miss, are you still worried about that little girl?"
The elf guard, Frey, walked to Carolee's side. Ever since Carolee met the little girl who tried to sell her fake tickets, Carolee's expression had been very heavy.
"That little girl must have been forced to do this by one of Noland's underground organizations. Not only was she forced, but from the scars on her body, she might have been abused."
Carolee knew that she shouldn't meddle in this kind of business, but the little girl's excited expression when talking about "This Demon Is Not Too Cold" left a deep impression on Carolee.
She … was a fan of this movie.
"But you can't help her now. Maybe Josiah … Mr. Josiah has a way," Frey said.
The conversation between Carolee and her elf guard didn't last long. It was quickly interrupted by a rough voice.
"Where do you brats think you're going?! The fires in the two furnaces haven't been lit yet! "
The voice came from a dwarf in a blacksmith's shop on the street. This old dwarf blacksmith used his unique loud voice that was unique to the dwarves. His rough voice could almost be heard by the pedestrians on the street.
The targets of his scolding were three dwarves who looked relatively young. Carolee couldn't tell the dwarves' ages at all because they all looked like a group of uncles with scruffy beards. Even the youngest dwarves would dress like this.
"Master Orik! We'll deal with the iron later! Brothers … We can't let the Frostaxe Clan get ahead of us again! For the Alliance! "
The three young dwarves shouted the slogan "For the Alliance" and rushed out of the blacksmith's shop. They didn't even look back as they ran towards the entrance of the underground city at the end of the street.
A few other dwarven blacksmiths on the street were in the same situation. The running dwarves caused a small commotion on the street, but it quickly calmed down.
"Daughter of the Forest, what happened? Why are the dwarves in this city so restless? "Elder Saiphane walked to Carolee's side and asked.
"This …"
Carolee was not familiar with the dwarves of Noland, but she had the magical spellcaster forum. If she had any doubts, she could log in to the spellcaster forum and post a question, and there would definitely be wise spellcasters to answer it for her.
This was also one of the benefits of the spell casters' forum! It was just like the 'all-knowing magic mirror' in the story Taylin the Frost Elf had told her.
This time, the spellcaster forum also gave Carolee an answer.
When Carolee opened the Weave, she saw a few posts in the top left corner of the spellcaster forum. One of them was called 'Hearthstone's Summer Event'.
Carolee roughly skimmed through the content of the post and instantly understood why the dwarves were so agitated.
"It's because of a bounty notice. These dwarves are going to arrest the leader of an underground organization." Carolee used a more appropriate analogy to explain to Elder Saiphane.
Carolee did not play Hearthstone, so she did not know the charm of this card game. However, from the scene of a few dwarves going on strike for a card game and going to the 'Spring Event', Carolee could vaguely feel the horrifying charm of this game.
However, Carolee hoped that these dwarves who were shouting 'for the Alliance' would get what they wanted … From the description of the event, the target 'Guttama the Beauty' was a cruel orc who secretly kept slaves.
This reminded her of the little girl she met before …
"Milady … I think I saw a little girl with goat horns just now."
Frey suddenly pulled on Carolee's sleeve and pointed to an alley at the corner of the street.
… …
Riley ran into the crowd. She relied on her petite body to weave through the crowd and quickly walked into an alley at the edge of the city of Noland.
She rummaged through her pocket and took out a dozen coins with the 'White Thorn' symbol printed on them.
These coins were, of course, fake tickets. Otherwise, Riley would not have sold her to others. She would have spent these tickets to the White Thorn Theater and watched two of her favorite movies ten times over.
Unfortunately … this was just her fantasy.
As a half-demon and half-human, she lived at the lowest level of Noland. She usually had a problem eating a full meal, let alone going to a place like the White Thorn Theater to watch a movie.
However, there were still some surprises in the hard life. Even now, Riley still felt happy when she recalled it …
This time, she actually met the lead actor of 'This Demon Is Not Too Cold' outside the city … Matilda!
She couldn't be wrong. Even if 'Matilda's' hair was a little longer than in the movie, she still clearly remembered Matilda's appearance in the movie.
Riley really wanted to stop and ask her a few questions at that time, such as whether Leon was still alive, where did he go after that, and so on …
Unfortunately, a grumpy voice woke Riley from her reverie.
"You! How many tickets did you sell today? "
An orc walked out from the shadows at the end of the alley. He stared at Riley in front of him with a fierce gaze.
Riley didn't dare to speak at all. Her small body couldn't stop trembling. She could only hand the remaining coins in her hand to the orc.
"Only two? What a waste … "
The orc grabbed the coins in Riley's hand. The huge force made Riley lose her balance and fall to the ground. The orc walked into the depths of the alley without looking back.
"Why are you still sitting there?!"
Riley bit her lip and stood up from the ground. She felt a sharp pain in her ankle, but she endured it and followed the orc.
As a mixed-blood demon, it wasn't easy for her to survive in Noland. Although she joined the Black Pigeon organization, unfortunately, her luck wasn't very good. In the end, she joined the most dangerous branch of the Black Pigeon, or rather, an orc tribe.
Riley also thought of escaping, but the orcs were very strict with their slaves. She had seen the beauty Gutamar break the neck of a slave with her own eyes.
She followed the orc to a shabby underground tavern in the depths of the alley. The tavern led to the city's sewers. It was pitch-black all around. Without the orc leading the way, Riley couldn't find the exit or the entrance.
After more than ten minutes of walking, light finally appeared in front of them.
It was a slightly crowded hollow. Old wooden boards and iron pillars were pieced together to form a simple house. Riley was quickly thrown into a crowded hut by the orc who led the way. The door was also locked.
She was relatively lucky to have her own hut, although it wasn't big …
Riley walked to the corner of the hut and squatted down. There were several movie posters on the wooden wall. Most of them were posters for "Beauty and the Demon" and "This Demon Is Not Too Cold".
These were collected by Riley alone all over Noland. The posters looked a bit old, and the latest one was the poster for the new movie "Hachi the Loyal Dog" that would be released in two days.
How many fake tickets would she have to sell to exchange for a real one? Riley curled up in the corner of the room and looked at the posters on the wooden board.
She should have said hello to Matilda just now.
These questions flashed in Riley's mind. Just as she was gradually getting sleepy, a lot of noise suddenly came from outside.
Riley immediately stuck to the wooden board of the hut and quietly listened to the sound outside. The most prominent shout was …
