Chapter 916: Human Traffickers
Signing up for the Zephyr Championship in Moonlight City is quite a grinding.
First of all, the registration deadline here is only today, if you don't register, you have to go to the host city to go through the formalities.
Secondly, although the elves are very safe, it has to be said that their speed is not fast, every time they enter an adventurer team, they have to review it four or five times in a row, and only after there are no problems can they pass the review, although this audit method can minimize accidents, but for the people behind the team, it is simply a kind of torture.
In the end, although there are hundreds of people partying at the same time, the quality of the elves is so high that there is hardly any noise in the entire street, and some of the elves who are communicating will try to keep the volume down as much as possible to avoid disturbing the others around them.
While chatting with Princess Anareta, he casually observed the state of the elves around him, and thought wildly in his head.
A race with such a quality, its overall combat effectiveness must be amazingly strong, if it is coupled with the scientific and technological power of the goblin race, not to mention dominating the Zephyr Continent, anyway, if you want to be the strongest town, it is easy to capture.
It's good that the race is not so selfless and stupid, otherwise......
As soon as I thought of this, my eyes twitched: why not! The Elves are the best example of this! Xiang'an has been quiet for a thousand years, one trick has been pitted, countless relatives and friends have been killed, and even the royal bloodline is only left with the goblin patriarch and Remy.
......
......
I started queuing at about seven in the morning, and now it's two in the afternoon, and I'm finally in line.
While waiting for the race number, I looked back and there were still a long line of elves waiting behind me.
Estimate the time, it will take at least two hours to finish it all.
Soon, the staff handed me a number plate, number 342.
I took the number plate and was about to put it in my pocket.
"Lend me a look" Princess Anareta reached out and grabbed the number plate from my hand and glanced at it: "Three hundred and forty-two?" ”
She glanced at the team behind me again and muttered, "In this Japanese Wind Tournament, there are almost more than 600 teams in Moonlight City." ”
"How many were in previous years?" I asked.
"Hmm...... Last year, more than 500 teams participated, and the year before last...... It seems that there are more than 600 sticks. ”
"Why were there so few last year?" I was puzzled.
"Because last year's main event was in Ari City," she said, munching on a coffee bean, "There are quite a few adventurer teams who refuse to participate." ”
"Do they hate Arie?"
"No, they just hate the Terrans."
"Oh, I've heard rumors that elves hate Terrans......"
"I've heard that rumor too," Princess Anareta said solemnly, "pure slander!" ”
“?”
"We elves don't hate all humans, you should be able to feel that you and your family are still very popular here."
"Well, that's right," I nodded, "everybody takes good care of us." ”
"Yes," Anareta said, "the elves are not hostile to those who are friendly, but we are merciless to those who are not. ”
"Unfriendly?"
She nodded and said, "Every year, we will have a small number of female clansmen missing, most of them are very young, and the situation of disappearance is basically the same, either they go out to play, or they are lost with their families, in short, they are missing, those missing clansmen, some will appear in the noble homes of Ari City or Yorkham City in a few years, or become concubines, or become playthings, this is still a better end, and even more, some people have met long-lost clansmen in the brothels of Ari City and Yorkhan, and when they are found, They have been ravaged and broken, and there is no way to recognize their former family and friends, and these are only those who can be found, those who have not been found! ”
At this, Princess Anareta's little fist creaked...... The sound of coffee beans breaking.
I sighed, pointed to her little fist, and reminded, "Coffee beans." ”
"Oops!" Princess Anareta hurriedly poured the coffee beans in her little hand into her mouth, stretched out her little tongue again, and licked it very seriously in the palm of her hand, licking it for a while, before she exhaled, rubbed her little hands, then frowned, thought for a while, took a step closer to me, pulled up the hem of my clothes, and rubbed her palms again.
"Uh...... Princess, you are ......."
"Don't interrupt my grief!" Princess Anareta's little face was raised, and her expression was extremely serious.
Shameful ......
After wiping her hands, Princess Anareta nodded with satisfaction and continued: "In the past, grandma and mother have caught human traffickers of our race, and these traffickers have no more than two nationalities - Eri City and Yorkhan City, and they are all of the same race, all of them are Terrans, so when we learned that the Zephyr Championship was held in Ari City, at least a hundred or more adventurer teams in the main city abandoned the race. ”
"What about the other towns?"
"Hmm...... Anyway, there are more than a thousand teams in the entire Moonlight City who choose to abandon the game. ”
"And what about the number of squads participating?"
"I want to think about it" Anareta frowned and thought for a long time, and finally shook her head: "Forget, there are many, many anyway, but in the end, there are less than a hundred teams that can go to Eri City to participate in the competition." ”
"Huh? Didn't they all compete in Ari City? ”
"How so!" Anareta said: "Eri City is quite large, but it is not big enough to fit most of the adventurer teams of the five major towns, which is equivalent to nearly a quarter of the population of the Zephyr Continent!" ”
I don't know exactly how many people there are in Zephyr Continent, but I think it would be a spectacular spectacle to cram nearly a quarter of the population into Eri City.
"Oh, by the way, let's go back to the previous topic, your grandmother and your mother have both arrested human traffickers, what about your sister, has she ever arrested human traffickers?"
"Yes" Anareta glanced at me and said, "My sister is working so hard, she must be strict in this regard!" ”
"Oh~~"
"Look at your expression, you want to see that trafficker?" Anareta smirked.
"Actually, it's okay to take a look, there's nothing to do anyway."
"Hmph, you're trying to intercede with traffickers?" She sneered.
Pouting, I pointed to my nose and said, "Do I look like the kind of person who casually intercedes with others?" ”
"I don't want to."
"Hmm~That's right~"
"You're a trafficker!" Anareta said.
“?!”
"Don't look at me with that innocent look," Anareta said unhappily, "You're a scoundrel who kidnapped my master's heart!" ”
