Douluo's body Douluo

In the nameless town, Hu Liena found the person responsible for this matter. To her surprise, the person responsible for arresting these orphans was not a soldier from the Tiandou Empire, but a black marketeer.

"Is this enough money?" Hu Liena handed over the money she had on her, a total of five thousand gold soul coins.

"Hehe, look, although these are just captured, many nobles are waiting to pick them. It's hard for me to explain them all to you. Can I keep a few?" The businessman pinched his little hands. Hu Xiu said with a philistine expression, and at the same time looked at Hu Liena with a strange light in his eyes.

"You...!" Hu Liena frowned, ready to get angry.

Noisy!

Meng Ye appeared aside, looked at the other party calmly, and showed a token.

"According to the laws of Tiandou, slave trading is a capital crime, right? Do you need me to go to Tiandou City in person to ask?"

Tong Kong shrank. After the other party saw the token clearly, a look of horror appeared on his face. He hurriedly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed: "I don't dare! I will leave now! Leave now!"

"Leave those soldiers to me."

"Yes!"

Before leaving, the black marketeer returned the money to Hu Liena. For such a person to survive to this day, his snobbish eyes are the key. He naturally knows who can offend and who cannot.

Hu Liena was a little hesitant. She actually had the Elder Order, but she never thought it could be used in this way. In her opinion, it was a symbol of honor and status, but she completely forgot about the rights it represented.

Even if it is placed on the entire continent, holding the Elder Order can make the royal families of the two empires treat him as honored guests, and no sect or soul master family dares to look down upon him.

"Okay, what are you going to do next?" Meng Ye looked at the children on several carriages. He estimated that there were almost a hundred people. It would be no problem if they all entered the Spirit Hall.

But the Wuhun Palace is not an orphanage. It is a problem whether there are some good Wuhuns in it, and the remaining Wuhun Palace will definitely not accept them.

"Let them eat something first." Hu Liena pursed her lips, asked the hired soldiers to put the children down, and then booked several restaurants for them to eat.

This temporarily relieved the urgent need, but this obviously did not consider the follow-up approach, which made Meng Ye shake his head and turned to leave.

After Hu Liena took care of the children and fed them, she wanted to take them to change clothes and wash up. However, she found that half a day had almost passed after all the work, and they couldn't get rid of them at all.

About half an hour later, Meng Ye came over with several deacons from the Wuhun branch.

"Take it back first and keep it in the branch hall for the time being. In one month, someone will come from Saliker to take over with you. If one is missing, you know the consequences."

"Yes! Elder."

With these people, a group of children were quickly taken away, but there was still a big accident along the way.

"Wow!

"

“I don’t want to be sold!

"

"Ugh..."

Many children were full and now had the strength to cry and even run away. The smarter ones even grabbed Hu Liena directly, but the latter couldn't bear it and stood there at a loss.

Meng Ye took Hu Liena away, and then asked the people from the Wuhun branch to take away the children.

"Try not to do this kind of thing in the future. If you show compassion once, you won't be able to save him countless times." Meng Ye took Hu Leina far away and said calmly.

"Are you just looking at them like this..." Hu Liena obviously misunderstood Meng Ye's meaning, and she even looked at him with a bit of disappointment.

Even after going through the trial of the Killing City, Hu Liena's kind thoughts, or the emotional side, are still very obvious.

"You can't save it." Meng Ye sighed again and explained helplessly: "No empire will care about this, let alone tell the world. A year ago, Saliker had an inflow of more than 3000 The refugees, more than 8000 of whom are children under the age of 12, are just the result of friction between the two empires."

"These people have traveled thousands of miles to be in exile here, and they don't even have food to eat. But the food in the hands of the nobles and businessmen who were banned by me in Saliker alone is enough to feed hundreds of thousands of people!"

Hu Liena's eyes trembled violently. At this moment, she understood why Meng Ye could turn a blind eye to everything in front of her.

He is not cold-blooded, but has seen too much, so he chooses to try to change everything in his own way.

"I'm sorry, I..." Hu Liena looked at Meng Ye apologetically, who sighed again and went to the Wuhun Branch Hall.

Seeing a group of children running around, Meng Ye wrote a letter and sent it to Saliker. After saving all the children, Lei Zhengyang had to send these children back first.

"Perhaps Wuhun City can accommodate them." Hu Liena stood aside and said somewhat innocently.

"Some of the talented ones may enter the Spirit Hall. As for the others, why do you think the Spirit Hall's subsidies come from the two major empires?"

Meng Ye knew that Hu Liena didn't understand these things. The lower things were, the more they were related to the survival of most people, but who would look down at them?

Wuhun Palace itself is not an empire, it just has huge resources of soul masters and relies on force to deter the two empires.

The wealth of either of the two empires can support millions of troops, but Wuhun Palace may not be able to provide even half of it. Having money and having guns are not the same thing.

At this point, Hu Liena lowered her head in shame and did not say another word. However, the cruelty of reality taught her a profound lesson.

These are things that Bibi Dong will not tell her. No, it should be said that they may be things that Bibi Dong doesn't even know about and won't pay attention to.

About a week later, when Lei Zhengyang received the letter, he didn't say much. He just thought about it and sent someone to take the orphans to Saliker.

Judging from his relationship with Grand Duke Salikl, this is all a trivial matter. Coupled with Meng Ye's actions almost two years ago, the current Salikl royal family is extremely rich and wishes to have more people.

Relying solely on the power of the royal family or the royal family, the ability to control local nobles and underground forces is actually very weak, especially in this era where information and transportation are big problems.

But if Wuhun Palace intervenes, then all problems will become easier. For example, Meng Ye uprooted almost half of the nobles in the entire principality, and they did not dare to retaliate.

But if this kind of thing were ordered by a member of the royal family, nine times out of ten it would not be carried out at all. Their rights are maintained by these people. Should they be allowed to commit suicide?

……

Two days later, Meng Ye and Hu Liena came to the Star Forest.

Hu Liena didn't speak much along the way, and didn't even approach Meng Ye on purpose. She didn't become more vigilant until she entered the forest. The Star Forest was a dangerous place anyway, and the deeper you went, the more dangerous it became.

Neither of them is afraid of ordinary ten thousand year soul beasts, but if it is a fifty thousand year soul beast, Hu Liena cannot hunt it alone.

In the deep and silent forest, there were many predators waiting for opportunities even during the day. They relied on their mental perception to avoid most of them, and the two of them soon entered the depths of the Star Forest.

"Are we still looking for spiritual soul beasts this time?" Hu Liena asked Meng Ye as her thoughts gradually recovered.

"No." Meng Ye glanced at her, thinking about this matter before, and explained: "It's hard to find spiritual soul beasts, and it's even harder to find good quality ones. First look for ones with the right age, and then screen out the ones with good quality. Just absorb it.”

"Yes." Hu Liena did not object and relied on Meng Ye's opinion.

In fact, apart from the difficulty of finding spiritual soul beasts, another reason is that Hu Liena's martial soul is already very good. As long as the age and quality of the soul ring are good enough, the improvement of mental power and various attributes will not be low.

The Nine-tailed Sky Fox's current performance is not inferior to top martial arts spirits like the Clear Sky Hammer.

Just as the two of them continued to go deep into the Star Forest, some changes occurred inside. On the edge of a lake somewhere inside, a girl in a pink dress turned her head and looked outside the forest, where a huge tower tens of meters high appeared. The giant ape is sitting nearby.

A scene like Beauty and the Beast appeared strangely in the Starry Forest.

"Xiao Wu, what's wrong?"

"Er Ming, I feel uneasy... Please go out with me and take a look."

"OK then."

The giant ape did not refuse, but directly put Xiao Wu on his shoulders, and then walked step by step into the dense forest.
