A despicable foreigner wandering in the wrong world

Ordinary citizens may be able to see gods in their respective places.

But it's basically impossible to talk to each other.

And adventurers too.

Proud adventurers would not take the initiative to gamble with ordinary citizens.

There must be a reason for things to happen, but this made Lyu pay attention.

She has seen such "tricks" before, squatting down in advance, setting goals in advance, and gambling with a purpose...or rather...crime!

"Is it convenient for the two of you to introduce, is there a daughter named Anna in the family?" Putting her work aside temporarily, Lyu asked.

Facing her who suddenly spoke, the husband and wife who were indulging in grief showed puzzled expressions.

But he didn't refuse to answer.

In the end, he hesitated and moved his lips.

Simply describe it.

It was a gentle, graceful and outstandingly beautiful girl, whose appearance had been affirmed by the gods, and even a male god proposed to her, but of course they were all declined in the end.

At the same time, because the girl works part-time in a flower shop, she will often appear in front of outsiders.

Overall...a good target to strike with.

After hearing this, Ize laughed dumbfounded, and made a judgment in his heart.

I am afraid this is no accidental case of a father addicted to gambling selling his daughter.

The other party probably had his eye on the girl from the very beginning, and then took advantage of her father's gambling habit to "reasonably" snatch her over.

There are many gray industries in Olali, many of which have such cases.

Chun Ji, who is beside Ize now, has had a similar experience before.

It is quite troublesome for such abducted people to find and redeem them.

Even asking for help from a family like Ganesha would not be accepted within a short period of time.

People have to maintain law and order in Nuoda city every day, so how can they find someone?

What's more, there are one or two such cases every day, which is even more unmanageable.

Even if they wanted to go to the guild to issue a commission, the couple who lost all their money couldn't do it.

In the end, I could only sit in a corner of the tavern and was heartbroken.

"It would be nice if [Asteria Familia] is still here..."

In grief, Kallen inadvertently recalls a memory from the past.

"That family has been disbanded, so don't mention it anymore..."

"But if Master Astoria is still here, she will definitely be willing to lend a helping hand to us...Why does such a kind-hearted family member disappear...!"

Thinking of the family who hoeed the strong and helped the weak during the dark age of the city, and did their best for the order and tranquility of Orari, it seemed that this broke the last straw in Carul's heart, and the mother began to break down and cry bitterly.

Thorne fell silent as his shoulders were weighed down by the responsibility he couldn't shirk.

While the other customers withdrew their gazes and pretended not to see this troublesome matter, Xier and Anya were all secretly peeping at Lyu's side face, they were the ones who knew about Lyu's past.

Yize silently drank the last sip of wine in the glass.

"The gold card of Olalie Casino...I remember I have one?"

Chapter 490 Accidentally hit a sensitive point? (Please subscribe!)

In the evening, the night was dark.

Including the rich hostess tavern, most of the shops on Orari Street are closed.

At this moment when it was time to go to sleep, Xier returned to her residence as an outside shop assistant.

Aniya and others who lived in the staff dormitory of the tavern also fell asleep peacefully as usual.

Lyu was the only exception, tossing and turning uncharacteristically.

The moonlight and the light from the magic stone lamp shone into the room through the window, making the elf girl open her eyes.

To be honest, even she herself didn't know what she was struggling with now.

It had already been decided early on - no longer helping strangers without friendship, and no longer doing righteous deeds without asking for anything in return.

Just reach out to those around you, and nothing more.

But why... there is no way to turn a blind eye to what happened in the tavern today...?

The self who was once depraved and vengeful is no longer qualified to maintain the justice of that goddess.

Even dwelling on these things is probably just hypocritical thinking.

Facing the trace of emotion that sprouted and took root deep in his heart, Lyu came to a conclusion almost like self-hypnosis.

Backfired.

The "favor" of the goddess that is still engraved on her back today is faintly exuding heat as if denying this point of view.

When I close my eyes, I can vaguely see the smile of the goddess who loves the children deeply, and the silhouettes of the companions of the family.

Among them, the words of the close friend who brought Lyu into the family are still vivid.

"If you feel confused, don't think too complicated, just face yourself frankly!"

It was these words that pulled Lyu out of the shadow of revenge before.

Now when she is in trouble, this sentence is still the first thing that comes to her mind.

a long time......

The elf sighed softly, and slowly got up from the bed.

………………

It was still night, and the moon looked down at the city surrounded by majestic walls.

During this period of time just after the day changed, Ize waited on the edge of the narrow alley wall where the sky had already completely darkened, and glanced at the back door of the rich hostess tavern from time to time.

The reason he's here... Needless to say, is because of what happened in the tavern today.

The couple during the day were the ones that Olary still remembered from the 【Asteria Familia】.

Living in this city where dynasties change very quickly, there are actually only a small number of people who remember the past. Most people are adventurers, and they are used to abandoning the past and looking forward to the future.

And the couple can still reveal the name of a family that has been disbanded, and miss a goddess who has left Orari.

Izzy can reasonably guess that they were one of the many ordinary people helped by the Astria family in the previous dark period.

Facing the person whom he and his companions might have helped in the past, will Lyu, who is left alone now, still lend a helping hand?

This question already had an answer before Ize came to this narrow alley.

Sure enough... as if confirming his conjecture, the back door of the rich hostess tavern was opened quietly...

Wearing a brown cloak with a hood and a knee-length skirt, Lyu, who dressed herself like a flower girl from the slums, tiptoed out of the tavern without disturbing others in the whole process.

It was only one second before he closed the door and stepped into the narrow alley, and the next second Liu was frozen in place.

"Izzy...!"

"Lyu, good evening, you're finally out~?"

"Good evening... No, why are you here!?"

"Of course I'm waiting for you. If I have to say it, it's because of the incident during the day."

Lyu was obviously at a loss for Izawa's "airborne", and Izawa even anticipated this in advance, and took the opportunity to appreciate the girl's cute expression of astonishment.

And Izzy's reply is not a scene.

Although Thorne has such a conspicuous shortcoming of gambling.

But as a victim, the other party is just a helpless poor father caught in a big man's scheme.

Behind those people who pulled him to gamble, there must be a "big buyer" who took a fancy to his daughter.

Taking advantage of Thorne's weakness in gambling must be just one of their strategies.

If one plan fails, you can change another plan.

There is always a time to succeed.

In the past, Yi Ze would not deliberately target these gray industries, because it would be difficult for him alone to leverage the interest chain behind it, which may involve more than half of Olalie, or even dozens or hundreds of surrounding countries.

But this time...

After all, he met him.

If you can help, you can help by the way, and you can have a chance to be alone with Liu in the process, so why not do it?

After briefly explaining to Lyu why she was here, the girl looked at Ize with complicated eyes.

"Did you... have guessed that I would secretly come out to investigate?"

"...Perhaps it is? In fact, it's more because I think that you probably won't sit idly by, Lyu, so come here and try your luck~"

I believe you ghost, just now you clearly looked like you were deliberately waiting for me.

Lyu didn't answer, but her eyes conveyed such emotions.

After a while, Lyu looked away inexplicably.

Yaoshou... Maybe Ize knows her better than herself...!

It was obvious that she struggled in bed for so long...

The girl's heart was shaken like never before.

This sudden change of mind made Ize puzzled.

No matter what, he couldn't read minds, he could guess Liu's action pattern, but he couldn't guess what was going on in her heart.

In order to pull Lyu out of this stand-alone state, Izawa began to shake his hand in front of her eyes.

"Lyu...? Liuchan~? Isn't it planned to save people? Why are you so stunned?"

"Lyu, Liuchan!?" The elf girl opened her eyes wide in surprise: "What kind of shameful name is that, take it back! No way! Change it for me!!"

Lyu, who seemed to have accidentally poked a sensitive point, showing an unexpected overreaction, covered Ize's mouth with his hands, and pressed him into the narrow alley in a half-drawn manner.

Lyu and Izawa, who fell into a state of shame, lowered their voices and flopped around in the alley for a while, before finally reappearing from an inconspicuous corner on the side of the street.

Compared with before, the blush on the elf girl's face can be clearly seen, and the appearance of lowering her head to hide her face is also very imaginative.

Fortunately, it might be the noisy atmosphere on the street that gave Lyu an opportunity to adjust, and soon she calmed down from blushing, but still lowered her hood to hide her figure.

"What's your plan next, Lyu?"

Walking past dwarves and orcs who were drunk and sleeping on the side of the road, Izzy asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Wen Yanliu shook his head: "No, I plan to go to the tavern that Mr. Thorne mentioned first to find out the situation."

Before Thorne and his wife left the tavern during the day, Lyu asked the other party where he gambled with others.

Mr. Thorne, who drank at the restaurant near the main street at first, mentioned that he was taken to the tavern in the alley for the reason of "gambling two times" when he was slightly drunk. He still remembers the place clearly.

After all, it was only this morning that Mr. Thorne's daughter was taken away.

If he and Yi Ze could act quickly, the big buyer who did not hesitate to spend a lot of mana to find a way to cover up his abducted girl would not even have a chance to succeed.

And it was for this reason that Lyu dressed up like the little sister next door.

Borrowing the relaxed vigilance of those people and such a disguise, Lyu is confident that he can easily obtain the information he wants!

Chapter 490 The Third Chapter

Start from the alleys around Orari Street.

If you go all the way to the depths, you will find that there are stairs extending downwards inside, and those stairs are connected to many night bars specially opened for adventurers.
