They returned to the manor. Kail had vomited all the way, so he looked awful. Seeing this, Alice hurriedly helped Kail into the room and boiled some warm water for him.
Emma watched the two of them leave. She walked to Liang Lidong's side and asked, "What happened?"
Liang Lidong told her what happened. Emma frowned. Peeling the skin of a female elf to make armor was beyond her imagination.
Emma's face turned pale. She imagined herself from the perspective of an elf and imagined that her skin had been peeled off. She immediately felt nauseous and scared.
However, as a Holy Lady, her willpower was naturally much stronger than Kail's. She calmed herself down after a moment and asked, "What's your plan?"
"The tradition of the desert kingdom is to capture slaves. In the desert kingdom, as long as you have the strength, you can even capture the queen. In their eyes, women are just tools to carry on the family line. " Liang Lidong chuckled. "To be able to do something like peeling the skin of an elf to make leather armor, it's not necessarily the people of the desert kingdom, but they are the most likely."
"So I'm going to check a few chambers of commerce in the desert kingdom at night." Liang Lidong sighed. "The practice of capturing slaves in the desert kingdom hasn't changed for thousands of years. It's almost a national policy. The deaths of the two elves are most likely indirectly related to them, but I believe that they couldn't have thrown the naked bodies of the two elves on the street … Of course, these are just my guesses. The specific situation needs to be investigated to be clear. "
Emma frowned. "You're going alone? Is it dangerous? "
"Not at all. My fog spell has the effect of moving silently. Even if I'm discovered, not many people can catch up to me. "
"Then be careful."
After speaking, Emma returned to her room to rest.
Late at night, Liang Lidong asked Joan Of Arc to check out the situation first, while he walked slowly to the first chamber of commerce in the desert kingdom.
Because it was late at night, there were very few pedestrians on the road. There were very few pedestrians on the road. Liang Lidong cast Mist Manipulation, but he didn't raise the density of the mist to the maximum. Instead, he maintained a visual range of fifty to sixty meters like normal fog.
This will allow those who are shrouded in the mist to see. If he didn't notice the abnormality, he would have thought that it was just a simple night fog.
Although it would be slightly weaker in terms of concealment, Mist Riding had its own creature detection ability. He could avoid the enemy's hidden sentries and easily sneak into the interior of the merchant guild.
The first Chamber of Commerce … there was nothing unusual, but there were a lot of slaves in the basement. Liang Lidong knocked out the guards and threw the key to the shackles into the cell.
Although these slaves were very pitiful. But Liang Lidong could only help them so much.
There was nothing strange with the second Chamber of Commerce …
The third, the fourth … until the fifth Chamber of Commerce, Liang Lidong finally realized that something was wrong.
The basement of this Chamber of Commerce was divided into two floors. The first floor was the normal slave room, but in the northeast corner of the basement, there was a mechanism … a magic mechanism. If it was a normal physical mechanism, Liang Lidong wouldn't have been able to discover it, but a magic mechanism. Such a mechanism could hide from ordinary spellcasters, but not from a master of magic theory like Liang Lidong.
This was probably something the Chamber of Commerce didn't expect. A master of magic theory wouldn't sneak into the Chamber of Commerce's basement. They were only preventing thieves or lurkers from entering, which was a mistake of common sense.
In the second floor of the Chamber of Commerce, Liang Lidong saw the situation inside. He couldn't help but pinch his nose.
The corpses of five female elves were lying on the stone platform. Their bodies were badly mutilated, and their skin was gone. Even the skin on their faces was gone, making it impossible to see their appearances. The reason why Liang Lidong could recognize their race was because of their long ears.
"It seems that this is the Chamber of Commerce that contacted Old Leathersmith."
Liang Lidong released a magical flame in the basement, drowning the elven corpses in flames.
Then, he went to the first floor of the basement and released the slaves.
Suddenly gaining freedom, these slaves went crazy and rushed out as they always did. Liang Lidong followed behind them.
This commotion naturally attracted the attention of the Chamber of Commerce's guards. They brandished their weapons and rushed forward, wanting to force the slaves back into the basement.
But how could Liang Lidong, who was in the crowd, let them have their way? He took out two magic scrolls from his spatial backpack. In an instant, two large fireballs smashed into the group of guards, causing them to be thrown into the air like rag dolls. Not a single guard could survive.
These people were only following orders. Killing them might be a bit cruel, but compared to the fate of the elves in the basement, their deaths were too blissful.
These guards were all ordinary people. After two large fireballs, they were naturally all dead. But the violent magic fluctuations and explosions immediately attracted the attention of the Chamber of Commerce's professionals.
There were three people, and Liang Lidong recognized them … When he rescued the two elves a few days ago, they were his opponents.
When the three of them saw Liang Lidong, they froze for a moment, then immediately turned and ran … Liang Lidong couldn't be bothered to chase after them. He walked to the Chamber of Commerce's building, stood at the entrance of the staircase, and directly blocked the escape of the Chamber of Commerce's manager.
It was a charming middle-aged woman.
"Sir, can you let me pass? I'm just an ordinary employee of the Chamber of Commerce."
Beautiful women had privileges at all times. Men were generally willing to believe their words. But Liang Lidong didn't. He had seen many beautiful women. Not to mention a beauty on the level of Goddess Woking, just the temperament of the city lord's wife, Sophia, was miles ahead of this woman.
"An ordinary employee can use dark elemental magic?" Liang Lidong looked at her with a face full of ridicule: "Do you think I'm stupid, or that you're so stupid that you can't distinguish common sense?"
"Since you know, then go to hell."
The middle-aged woman's voice became coarse and hoarse, and then her entire body began to change in an instant. Her skin became dry, like a dried corpse, and her nails became very long and looked very sharp.
She flew towards Liang Lidong, but when she was still in the air, the woman was sent flying back.
This was a very common ghoul in the game, a type of undead creature. It wasn't very strong. When Liang Lidong was level 2, he could already kill a large number of them, let alone now that he was level 6.
The ghoul struggled to stand up, and Liang Lidong walked over. He raised his foot and stepped on her head, grinding it hard: "Speak. Who is your master? Did you throw those two elves onto the street? If you speak, I'll give you a quick death. "
"I'm an undead cannibal, why would I be afraid of dying? Kill me if you can." The female ghoul shrieked on the ground, her eyes full of contempt.
Liang Lidong grunted and shook his finger. An incandescent ball of light appeared in the air, and then under his command, it floated into the ghoul's ear.
Then the woman's entire body began to tremble, her sharp claws scratching wildly on the ground, and at the same time, she let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.
Although the Incandescent Light Ball was the most common light spell and didn't have much lethality, it was still a type of light energy. Ghouls were dark undead creatures. When darkness met light, even if light energy didn't have much lethality to ordinary people, it was still a dark creature. But it was not inferior to acid.
Now, the female ghoul was in pain, as if acid had been poured into an ordinary person's ear.
When the female ghoul's screams became weak, Liang Lidong flicked his finger. The incandescent ball of light in her ear disappeared, and then her entire body calmed down, but she was still panting heavily.
"If you don't tell me, I don't mind giving you such a treat again."
The female ghoul shivered all over, and then she said in despair, "My master is Edward Allen. He now lives in the prettiest building in the rich district. As for the two elves, we didn't throw them on the street … For us, even dead elves are valuable. We can skin them, we won't be so wasteful. "
Liang Lidong exerted force with his right leg. The female ghoul's head was crushed into several pieces.
The stench spread in the room, and Liang Lidong covered his nose and left.
Half an hour later. In the small building at the center of the rich district.
Candlelight still seeped through the window on the third floor. Liang Lidong appeared in the backyard of the building. After the mist generated by Mist Manipulation covered an area of 385 meters, he jumped over the wall of the courtyard and came to the lighted window on the third floor.
Someone was still talking in the room. Though the voice was low, with the ability of Mist Manipulation, Liang Lidong could clearly hear the conversation in the room on the third floor.
"They just said that someone is causing trouble in the chamber of commerce. Why are you not nervous at all?" It was a woman's voice.
"Those three pieces of trash … always exaggerate." It was a man's voice. "Last time, two elves escaped and were eaten, played to death, and thrown on the street, causing the elves' Nature's Wrath to come to our door. Now they say that someone is here to save the slaves. It's the Magician who saved the elves last time … They're really idiots. That place is useless now. It's better if someone helps me destroy it. Then I can ask the mayor's office for more compensation."
"Aren't you afraid that he'll come to your door?" The woman's voice was sweet.
"He wouldn't dare. This is the rich district. If he makes a move here, he'll be making life difficult for all the nobles in Sisilia. The nobles here are deep. Any one of them could be a branch of a big family. Only an idiot would cause trouble here." "That's right.
The woman giggled smugly when she heard that.
Liang Lidong smiled too. He took out a gold coin from his Backpack and flicked it at the third floor.
"Coin Bombardment!"
The golden pillar of light rushed up and directly pierced through the window on the third floor, tearing off more than half of the roof of the small building.
Bricks, tiles, and dust filled the air. Liang Lidong jumped high and ran to the third floor.
Because the room had been mostly destroyed, when Liang Lidong went up, he saw a man and a woman hugging each other, gaping at the destroyed house.
They were completely naked. They had been in the middle of a very action-oriented romantic film, but Liang Lidong's full force attack had scared the man into impotence. He didn't know if he could still get hard in the future.
There was a smell of disinfectant in the air. Liang Lidong knew what it was. He felt a little disgusted. This time, he felt that using magic to filter the smell was useless, so he even took out the old towel that Emma had prepared for him and covered his nose.
"Edward Allen?" Liang Lidong looked at the middle-aged man lying on the woman. "I have something to ask you."
The middle-aged man nodded quickly, not daring to have any objections.
"Do you know who threw those two elves onto the street?"
Edward's expression immediately became a little strange when he heard that. He mumbled for a while, as if he didn't really want to answer.
Liang Lidong took out two scrolls from his spatial bag. One was the Freeze Seal, and the other was the Water Current Spell.
These two spells could be used together to create a very hard ice coffin. He looked at the two people trapped in the ice and shivered.
After a while, when their skin was numb and their minds were starting to waver, Liang Lidong used another Magic Scroll on the two of them.
"Low-level creature mind control!"
This spell could control the will of intelligent creatures, but it could only work when the person being controlled was mentally confused or about to lose consciousness.
Looking at the two people who had become confused, Liang Lidong asked, "Edward, do you know who threw those two elves onto the street?"
"It's Lord Izza, I know he did it!"
"Who?" Liang Lidong's eyes suddenly widened.
"Lord Izza!"
Liang Lidong was stunned for a moment, and then a chill surged in his heart. "Oh no, I've been tricked."
Just as Liang Lidong was about to leave, he suddenly felt a strong magic wave rising around him. A few seconds later, a square barrier directly trapped him on the small building.
It was a sealing magic array. Usually, it was used in a duel between Magicians. Although this magic array didn't have any attack power, it was an excellent prison. It was very difficult for people trapped inside to escape.
Liang Lidong took out another scroll from his Backpack. Crisscrossed Lightning. This was already the most powerful spell he had, but it still couldn't shake the magic array in the center of the sealing magic array.
Everyone's magic array was slightly different. If Liang Lidong was given three days, he could definitely break this sealing magic array. Unfortunately, at this moment, the man and woman frozen in the ice coffin suddenly turned into a few black shadows.
Every black shadow turned into a black figure that looked exactly like the original owner.
Liang Lidong counted. There were eight such shadows.
As soon as they formed, they directly pounced at Liang Lidong. Every shadow looked very disgusting. They had long tentacles in their mouths that were more than 60 centimeters long.
Liang Lidong directly bombarded the three with coins, but it was useless, and soon they used the dark elements again to 'rebirth' themselves again.
