Episode 12 The Mystery of the Dwarves Section 3 The Great Immigrant of the Dwarves 4

"Auction, let's rely on strength." A governor seemed very happy and looked at the other provincial governors proudly. The other governors who came back to their senses also secretly exerted their strength in their hearts, and looked at these governors with hostility.

Extremely strong.

On the contrary, the Prime Minister, with a smile on his face, turned the original conflict between the governors and the imperial power into a conflict between the governors, secretly praising Warner and Corey for their clever move.

"Ahem, everyone, go back and prepare. I am sure to take a photo of a fishing boat. I wish you all good luck in the auction." The Prime Minister bowed gracefully and saluted, and slowly walked out of the conference hall with small square steps.

The chief officers of the Sixth Department also took the opportunity to leave.

Seeing that there was nothing more to discuss, the governors left one after another.

At this time, Warner pulled Corey over in the garden: "Go back, Watts told me that Lace is in some trouble."

"Trouble." Corey looked surprised. He thought that Lace might have encountered some trouble that could not be solved. Even if Lace was unwilling to come forward, there was the Thunder Eagle Mercenary Group and Wentz. But Warner's expression

It didn't look like he was joking, so he hurriedly ran to his residence in the City Lord's Mansion.

As soon as he ran to the small courtyard, Corey suddenly saw a pair of middle-aged men and women dressed as civilians sitting on the edge of the pool. Corey was very surprised. What kind of place was this? They were gardeners, and the attendants were also dressed in low-level clothes.

Why are there people dressed as civilians even though they are clothes of nobles?

"Noble sir." The two of them noticed that Corey was looking at them and hurriedly changed their sitting position to a kneeling position. Although they could not tell Corey's title from his clothes, they could see the respectful look of the entourage wearing gorgeous clothes behind Corey.

Decide this is a big shot.

Corey didn't know what to do for a moment, so he raised his hand to signal them to get up, and quickly walked into the small courtyard. The moment the guard at the door stood at attention and saluted, the two middle-aged civilians were stunned, and they held each other tightly.

With his hand, he looked nervously at the door of the small courtyard.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Corey saw Smollett, Krause and others in the courtyard. The two saw Corey walking up to them quickly: "Captain, those couple are Lace's biological parents.

We have verified it repeatedly and it cannot be wrong.”

It happened a month ago. A pair of people dressed as civilians suddenly came to Thunder Eagle City and said they were looking for their lost daughter. They named her Lace.

The hand of the city gate guard who was originally planning to chase people away stopped in the air. A clever city guard immediately reported the matter to the chief of the city guard, but the chief of the city guard didn't know how to deal with it. He was pretending that he was not afraid, but he was afraid.

First, it was true. He couldn't bear the crime, and he found Thunder Eagle's liaison office. Later, Smollett came over in person.

Smollett was moved by Lace's kindness from the first day he met Lace. He knew that Lace's life experience was very pitiful and had been changed hands by human traffickers several times. He first arranged for the two of them to stay, and then sent someone to contact Krauser and Jackson.

, it took a full month in Yasi Black and White to completely clean out all the human traffickers in Yasi.

After it was proved that these two people were Lace's biological parents, Smollett and others told Lace about this. But after hearing this, Lace not only was not happy, but cried all day and night. She saw no one except Watts.

No food or drink.

This made Smollett and others very nervous, and they all gathered around Corey's courtyard. They really cared about Lace.

"What happened, Lace was sold by her parents." Corey's face darkened.

After hearing what Corey said and looking at Corey's expression, Burundi, the veteran deputy leader of the Thunder Eagle Mercenary Group, became anxious: "Young man, you can't be like this. At that time, there was a famine all over the country and no one had enough to eat. I live in Burundi.

When I have a daughter, I will also sell it, at least to give her a way to survive."

"A way to survive." Corey looked at Burundi in surprise. He understood Burundi's character. He became a robber just to make a living, and later became a mercenary with him. He used all the income he earned for the first time to support his own life.

His daughter bought a new set of clothes, and Corey was shocked to hear that Burundi would sell her daughter.

Burundi shed tears as he spoke. The tears of a tough guy named Burundi moved everyone present.

"Master, we don't have enough food at home. If you sell your daughter to human traffickers, at least she won't starve to death. If you're lucky, she can resell her to a better noble family. No matter what you think, it's better than starving to death." Burundi's words are revealed.

Corey had no choice but to believe his true feelings.

Corey felt resentful in his heart and stared at Smollett: "You said you checked all the human traffickers. Back then..." Corey wanted to know if the trafficker who sold lace was found, but it was not good.

He asked directly, but Smollett understood what Corey meant and looked at Blondie.

Burundi didn't shy away from anything, and replied loudly: "Those guys caught them, and let each of them be punched into a pulp."

"I hate human traffickers." Corey muttered angrily.

"I will lead people to kill all the human traffickers in Yasi." Blondie said as he prepared to draw the long knife on his back. Krause quickly held him down, shook his head, and signaled Blondie not to get angry again at this time.

Adding fuel to the fire.

Corey sighed softly: "Mr. Krauser, you know some of the laws of the kingdom. In my current capacity, is it feasible for me to issue an order that all those who engage in human trafficking in the future will be executed?"

Krauser thought for a while and quickly replied: "Sir, if you want to implement the kingdom's laws, it needs to be written by the Ministry of Justice. I will tell the Ministry of Justice your intention. I think the Ministry of Justice will think of the most appropriate method.

Corey nodded after hearing this: "Send a gift to the head of the Ministry of Justice and make sure it becomes a law."

"I'm going to comfort Lace." After Corey ordered, he lowered his head and walked slowly towards Lace's room.

Pushing open the door, Corey saw Watts sitting by the bed, and Lace seemed to have fallen asleep from crying.

Watts saw Corey coming in and stepped forward to greet him. His eyes were also red. Corey caressed Watts' face and said softly: "I have asked Krause to go to the Ministry of Justice. The kingdom will never see human traffickers again."

Lace's kindness moved not only the people of the Thunder Eagle Mercenary Group, but also the arrogant princess. When Princess Watts heard what Corey said, she immediately pushed Corey away: "I want to go to the head of the Ministry of Justice in person.

Officer, if he doesn’t blame the general for spreading the decree across the country, I want him to look good.” At this point, Watts was about to burst into tears again: “Lace is really pitiful.”

"Don't worry, I'm here." Corey said softly.

Watts closed the door to the room from the outside and Corey sat on the bed. Lace did not fall asleep. She felt Corey coming back and moved her body into Corey's arms.

"Lace, there's nothing they can do." Corey caressed Lace's cheek and said softly: "If they hadn't sold you back then, you would have starved to death and wouldn't have let me meet you. I could have met you.

, is the happiest thing I feel.”

When Lace heard what Corey said, she hugged Corey tighter. "I, I know, Brother Burundi said a lot to me, I just, I just don't know how to face them."

"Then we'll see you there now. Let's arrange for them to stay first and see you later." Corey couldn't help laughing when he heard that Lace was fine: "Then let's eat something first. I heard that you were crying all day and night without eating. I

I’m very worried.”

With Corey by her side, Lace felt everything was fine and nodded obediently.

"I'll be back in a while. I'll go meet them and arrange for them to live in our camp. Let the village chief take care of them first." Corey said softly.

"Well, I will listen to you in everything." Lace's face was red, and Corey couldn't help but kiss Lace's face. Then he pushed Lace away and stood up: "You take a rest, I'll ask someone to take it.

Bring in the water and prepare something to eat."
