Chapter 45: Night's inheritor and kidnapped beauties.
‹The Gamer is not privy to this information but Noah will tell you this, the Gamer Time Halt and spatial step abilities are a gift from Night to its inheritor› Noah replied.
He was mystified by Noah's word.
'Looks like it's not just the expert who poured their inheritance in the pendant my father somehow got, even Night – this mysterious being – has placed his inheritance in the pendant which drilled into my brain. Just what's the reason behind their actions?' Marvin thought.
What could make these unknown and powerful experts take such actions? Maybe they are gods that want to see what a mere mortal will do with their inheritance. Maybe they were experts at their deathbed. There were so many possibilities but Marvin didn't have the time to think about them at all.
It's because he had spotted something while still hiding behind the pitch-black trunk of a towering tree with dried yellow leaves.
He saw two girls who looked to be around his age. One of them had long silky silver hair, disheveled over her forehead and covering each side of her face. Marvin couldn't see how pretty she looked but he was sure that she's cute, and a girl about who he and many other fantasies about in their casual or wet dreams.
She was a wolf girl!
His eyes were attracted to her wolf ears and a tail, he wished to pet her head while rubbing her ears and playing with her tail. Marvin has finally encountered an otherworldly being.
The second woman was a beauty with a slim waist, her soft belly exposed to the chilly air of this gloomy forest.
However, now isn't the time for merry thinking because the silver-haired wolf girl and the black-haired beauty weakly sat inside a metal cage with their hands and feet tied by heavy metal chains. There was a black collar on their neck with complicated magical rune designs. The hot brunette eyes showed despair and their physical condition could only be described as miserable. He could see that their exposed hands and slender, milky legs had bruises that turned purple.
Nearby the cage, a bonfire was set up. Sitting around it were three men, each burly with a weapon in their hands, and one had an ugly scar on his face which stretched from his left eye to the right cheek.
He instantly concluded that they were kidnappers who kidnapped and forced the two beauties into being a slave.
He didn't know about the world of Camelot but he surely has heard some suspicious rumors of rich men and women partaking in trafficking elves and wolf girls for various reasons but mostly it's for sex. Today, he had seen it with his own eyes.
"Why are you doing this to us? Do you think the guards of the fortress will let you enter with two girls in a cage? Let us go and I will not say a word about this event to anyone!" Lara, the black-haired beauty said to the slave traders who were resting.
"The guard, eh? Hehehe, they are in cahoots with us. We just gotta hand over 20000 Fed cash to a group of those dogs and they will allow us to use a secret teleporter to teleport to the stronghold," Darth said before walking up to Lara. "And beauty, you are worth more than 50 grand." he continued by touching her face.
She venomously glared at him in disgust but the fear in her eyes betrayed her murderous looks.
"Don't worry, beauty, I won't taint either one of you or let the other taint you. Tainted good has their prices halved, after all." Darth, the slave trader with a huge scar said.
"Hahahahaha," Valhander, the second trader who sat nearby the bonfire laughed when he heard his boss words.
"Nice one boss!" The third slave trader, furkhan praised.
"I don't believe you!" Suddenly, a sweet, mellow voice filled with grief and sadness sounded from behind Lara.
Marvin's ears immediately perked up.
"Huh?"
"I don't believe that the fortress will let these crimes go unnoticed!" The Wolf Girl said again.
In the world of Camelot,werewolf-likee her weren't treated with respect. Instead, they were mostly killed or bounded to chain, stripped naked, and sold to the highest bidder in auction houses but the Wolf Girl has heard a lot about Earth where Werewolves were treasured and showered with respect and love.
She had been hearing these dreamy words from her mother every day. Her mother died and the Wolf girl was left with nothing, and she had crossed over to this dreamy world in hopes of finding her true love, respect, and tasty food unless she lives a life like her mother, purchased by a noble and becoming one of his many mistresses.
She came to this world just two weeks ago.
The day she crossed over to Earth, she got kidnapped by slave traders.
Her dreams were crushed before they even began. Tears glistened in her hearts, her puppy eyes will soften the heart of even the coldest man but the slave trader laughed.
"Believe it or not, the guards are siding with us. We are just 3 miles away from the fortress, even if you shout at the top of your lungs, no one's gonna help you." Darth added salt to her wounds.
The wolf girl bit her teeth in anger and instantly opened her mouth to shout at the top of her lungs, "SOMEONE PLEASE HELP US!"
"Shut her up!" Valhander said angrily. Only some guards of the fortress were working with them. Furthermore, the route they were on was a safe route for slave traders, and if there are scouts nearby, and they get attracted to them because of her shouts then they will be in a huge mess.
Smack! Darth slapped the Wolf Girl harshly enough to make the girl drop to her knees, and blood trickled out of the corner of her mouth.
"Alina!" Lara shouted worriedly. She gently placed the wolf girl on her lap and checked on her condition. The Wolf girl, Alina was knocked unconscious.
'You bastard!' Lara internally swore while glaring daggers at Darth's back. She knows if she shouts or curses at any one of them then she will be hurt too. She silently wiped her tears and cleaned Wolf Girl's blood and gently blew on her bruises.
Hidden from sight, an eighteen-year-old boy was trembling in rage.
"I wanna kill them," Marvin said, his tone icy cold. Although he badly wanted to butcher these slave traders like pigs, he still hasn't lost his rationality. Fighting three adult men, each more powerful than him with no plan was a great start to a suicidal act.
These are slave traders, not mere kids that bully others in the school. In a fight, they won't attack to injure but kill!
Before charging straight for their lives, Marvin used Inspect on each of them, and he then found out that each bandit was above rank-8, and Darth was a battle master, a term he hasn't heard till now.
They are far powerful than him. However, he didn't turn away from this situation. He couldn't turn away from the situation as he knows in the depth of his heart that he will regret it very badly. It didn't sit right with him to leave the two girls alone and leave their well-being up to fate. From their talk, Marvin has already understood what their fate will be. They will be played to death by some rich man and his friends.
