The town is called Port Zant.

This place has a streetscape very similar to that of Port Winne.

The town also has many slopes, and the port is just as lively as the city center.

However, there are some differences between this place and Winneport. First of all, there are more wooden buildings here than in Winneport. There are rows of trees lining the streets in the town, and you can see a dense forest in the distance when you look out of the town.

Moreover, since they had left the Demon Continent, there were no more demons on the streets, but there were still not many humans.

There are all kinds of races here: beastmen, long-eared elves, miners, and dwarves... The number of each race is about the same, and no one race is in the absolute majority.

Shirou and Alice first found a place to stay, only to discover that most of the inns were already full.

The reason is that the great forest in the middle of the continent of Milis has entered the rainy season.

The so-called rainy season refers to the unique weather in the great forest region in the center of the continent of Milis, which is said to bring heavy rain that lasts for about three months.

The great forest will be flooded, and the roads will be impassable.

Therefore, many guests stay for a longer period of time during this period.

Furthermore, floods can cause monster riots, and monsters that appear during the rainy season may also wander into the town, so many adventurers stay here for a long time during this period.

This resulted in Shirou and Alice not being able to find a suitable place to stay.

"It seems I'll have to live in a poorer place."

As Shirou spoke, he found a dilapidated village that resembled a Migrud settlement. After paying a fee to the village's spirits, he obtained a place to stay.

Upon seeing the spirit, Shirou couldn't help but recall Sylphie and her father, Roltz.

He tried to use his clairvoyance to find news of the two people, but he found nothing.

Shirou had to prepare for the worst-case scenario that they had all been killed.

To be honest, Shirou was in a very low mood at that time. Even Alice noticed that something was wrong, but Shirou covered it up.

In short, having found a place to stay, Shirou was finally able to start considering the smuggler Giles's request.

To complete the mission, Rachel Rudd was enslaved and taken into the smugglers' organization; he's probably in prison now.

Shirou must hurry to meet up with Rigel and rescue the many others who are still imprisoned.

Chapter 209 Attack on the Smuggling Organization! The Heart of Justice Remains Unwavering!

night.

Shirou walked alone on the streets of Zant Harbor. He spent a lot of time trying to persuade Alice to let him act alone, but he eventually got her to listen to his request.

He was currently wearing an eyepatch over his right eye to conceal his clairvoyance. On his back was the Golden Sword of Invincibility and its scabbard, Avalon, wrapped in cloth strips. He also carried the pseudo-magic sword, Windbreaker, at his waist, and the Emerald Bow and Rigellud's gun, which Roltz had given him long ago.

He embarked on this journey only after making thorough preparations.

When Giles posted the commission, he gave him a specific address, but did not specify a specific time, only saying that it could be done anytime after sunset.

This means that Shirou can choose any time to act without any problem.

Of course, Shirou's actions should be taken as quickly as possible.

After all, Rijerud is currently disguised as a slave and has been captured by the smugglers in order to complete his plan. Moreover, Shirou wants to rescue the other slaves captured by the smugglers, so he must act as soon as possible to save everyone.

After getting ready, Shirou quickly arrived at a corner of the port and found a row of wooden warehouses standing side by side.

Following the order, Shirou entered the building marked Warehouse No. 3 and saw a man quietly cleaning inside.

Shirou recalled Giles's words and quietly asked, "Steve, how is Jane by the sea?"

This seemingly nonsensical phrase is a code word used by smugglers to make contact.

The man looked over suspiciously after hearing this and said:

"Hey kid, what's up?"

Shirou knew the other party was wary of him, so he slowly said, "My superiors sent me here to collect the goods."

"I see. Follow me."

Upon hearing Shirou's words, the man from the smuggling organization seemed to accept them. He led Shirou silently into the warehouse.

Shirou patiently followed the smuggling men into the port's warehouse and discovered a hidden passage.

The two followed the secret passage into a damp cave.

We walked through the cave for about an hour.

After the two left the cave, they came to an environment that resembled a forest.

After walking a short distance, a large building appeared, seemingly hidden among the trees.

It doesn't look like a warehouse at all; it looks more like a wealthy person's villa.

Without a doubt, this was where slave traders kept their slaves.

"I think you should know that you must not reveal anything about this place. If you dare to tell anyone..."

"I am certain."

Shirou nodded silently.

However, although he appeared to be cooperating, he was actually already thinking about how to dismantle this criminal den.

Putting aside Giles's commission, the smuggling business these people were engaged in was illegal in itself.

Most importantly, they even committed the heinous acts of human trafficking and the slave trade.

This is something Shirou absolutely cannot allow.

Shirou could not stand by and watch such a heinous thing happen before his eyes; his sense of justice has not wavered at all.

"dong dong dong dong"

The slave trader, unaware of Shirou's thoughts, knocked on the door in a specific order.

After a while, a white-haired man dressed in a butler's uniform appeared inside.

The butler glanced at Shirou and then said briefly, "Come in."

After entering the building, Shirou briefly peeked into the environment, but before he could look around for long, he was stopped and interrogated by the white-haired butler.

The other party was very strict, and they went over each other's statements several times.

If Giles hadn't provided the perfect response, there would definitely have been flaws.

"I know the situation. Go and take your slave away. That thing is really frightening to have."

The slave traders clearly knew that Rijerud was a Spelud, and they must have inspected the goods.

Right now, he showed his fear of the Sperud tribe without hesitation, and took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and handed them to the man who brought Shirou here.

"In room 202."

"it is good."

After completing the procedures, Shirou was finally able to meet Rachel Rudd.

The other party was locked in the deepest part of the house, and it was obvious that they were being targeted severely, with traps and guards everywhere in the room.

Having been imprisoned for a full week, green hair had even sprouted on Raji Rudd's shaved head.

"Don't unlock the handcuffs here, because if the Speluds go berserk, there's no way to deal with them."

The smuggler looked at Rijerud with a slightly fearful gaze, clearly showing that he had a deep psychological trauma from the Spelud tribe.

Shirou didn't pay much attention to this and walked straight to Rijkrud's side.

Rijerud had already noticed his arrival and decisively spoke up: "Shirou, come closer to my ear."

"what happened?"

"Seven children have been arrested here."

"This……"

"Most of them are children of the beast race, who seem to have been forcibly abducted from the great forest by these slave traders. You can hear crying here."

"..."

Upon hearing Rijkaard's words, Shirou's expression also turned serious.

He realized that this incident was indeed not simple.

These smugglers not only engaged in smuggling, but also participated in the even more heinous human trafficking, and even directly trafficked people.

Neither Shirou nor Rigel would allow such a heinous thing to happen before their eyes.

"Gales didn't tell us exactly who we needed to rescue, but it seems we should be able to get everyone imprisoned here out."

"Well, let's do it."

Ridge Rudd agreed with Shirou's idea.

The two exchanged a knowing glance, and then Shirou untied Rigel's restraints and handed him a spear from his bag.

"Be careful, there are quite a few bodyguards here."

"I know better than you that I won't let any of those bastards who kidnap children get away with it!"

After speaking calmly, Rachel Rudd suddenly exuded an extremely terrifying killing intent.

Shirou had no intention of stopping them, but simply let them take action without making a move himself.

After all, Shirou was not as skilled or adept at killing as the battle-hardened Speluds.

Although he doesn't care about killing people and has already left behind a lot of blood on his hands, Shirou still has a long way to go before he can kill people at will without any burden, unlike the likes of Emiya and Rigel.

However, Shirou was also surprised, because he felt that Ragnarok's anger was more exaggerated than he had imagined.

The other person is usually a very good-tempered person. Even if they encountered a group of child traffickers, they wouldn't be so angry.

Shirou couldn't understand the situation at all and could only watch helplessly as Rijrud made his move.

The opponent's quasi-emperor level strength was still quite terrifying. The moment he broke free from his restraints, he grabbed the smuggler who brought Shirou here.

"How...how could you unlock the handcuffs?!"

The smuggler looked at Shirou angrily, incredulously.

“Rigid, do it.”

Shirou completely ignored the other party and gave orders to Rigel.

Without any further reaction, Rachel Rudd pierced the smuggler's throat with a single shot, silently carrying out the execution, and then rushed towards the stairs, still without making a sound.

Before anyone could react, Rajirud began his merciless slaughter.

Shirou initially wanted to go and help, but then realized that Rigel, whose anger was at its peak, didn't need his help at all, so he could only turn back to rescue the people locked up elsewhere.

"Wa ...

"It's...it's the Spelud! And the handcuffs have been removed!"

"It's a demon! Ahhh! A demon has appeared!"

Ignoring the screams coming from afar, Shirou ventured deeper into the mansion and found several boys and girls with uneasy expressions in a dimly lit room.

They each had different ears, some were animal ears and some were elf ears. There were four girls and three boys, and they were all under ten years old.

Every child was completely naked, their hands cuffed behind their backs, their bodies curled up in a ball.

The young girl was stripped naked and handcuffed.

Most of the children looked like they had been crying, and several had bruises on their faces.

Perhaps to prevent the children from crying, each child's mouth was sealed with a strip of cloth.

Never having imagined such a tragic scene, Shirou finally understood the source of Rigel's anger and realized that these smugglers would not hesitate to die a thousand times over.

Shirou then quickly broke down the door and unlocked the handcuffs of the children lying on the ground, removing all the restraints as he did so.

"Um... who are you...?"

Although it was the language of the beastmen, Shirou was able to understand it completely for some special reason that he himself was unaware of.

He then responded with comforting words: "Don't be afraid, I'm here to rescue you. Don't worry, I'll take you home."

"This……"

The boys and girls looked at each other, their eyes filled with unease and doubt.
