Chapter 19 Lost
As one of the important transportation centers, the White Fortress has an astonishingly large flow of people even in the morning.

As Roland and Hela headed to the administrative office to process their departure applications, a dense flow of people kept coming and going between them.

As Hela had not rested the whole night, she was a little tired. In addition, she was curious about the intelligent life forms coming and going around her, so it was no surprise that Hela got lost.

Hela stood in the crowd, looking at the people around her in confusion.

Where is Roland?
She bit her lower lip, feeling a little uneasy.

However, she is no longer the little tribal girl who knew nothing.

After hunting down the cultists and being taught by Roland, she was somewhat uneasy but still behaved rationally.

Hela looked around, trying to find something useful.

Soon, she found it.

A road sign.

Hela followed the crowd to the signpost and looked up at it.

West City Gate, West Street, Luo, what does this word mean?

Looking up at the road sign, Hela fell into deep thought.

Since they were leaving the North, Roland naturally taught her mainly the Nar language and writing. She naturally did not learn much about the messy writing developed by humans and orcs in the North.

Hela shook her head and had to skip the words she didn’t know and confirm the ones she did know first.

The Chamber of Commerce area, the central square, and the trade area.

Looking at all the road signs, Hela was thoughtful.

According to what Roland said at the hotel, they were going to apply for exit, and the place to apply for exit was.
What is it?
Hela was stunned, a little confused.

She really didn't know this.

Since she had always followed Roland, she had long been accustomed to it and rarely made a special effort to understand the layout of the city.

Moreover, the most she knew was that she had to go to the commercial street or the trade area to buy things, but she didn't really understand what the rest of the places were used for.

Hela frowned. She first wrote down all the road signs. After confirming the direction of the places on the road signs, she left the road signs and merged into the crowd again.

Although she didn't know where to go, Hela still cleverly thought of a solution.

Since she had to apply to leave the country, maybe she could find a caravan leaving the North and follow it secretly.

As long as they apply, Hela will be able to find the place to apply and find Roland.

Hela wandered around with the crowd, relying on the keen hearing of a first-ring spellcaster to silently distinguish and analyze the noisy sounds around her.

"Oh, this trip is a big loss. The war ended too suddenly. All the goods are stuck in my hands. It's all in vain."

Not them.

"Speaking of which, why don't we go and see the Silver Dwarves? I heard that they..."

Not them.

"I heard that Winter City has been a bit unstable recently, and the Moon Elves seem to have sent elves there."

Not them.

Hela listened to the noisy sounds on the street and continued to screen her targets.

"The quality of today's batch of furs is really good. The war just happened to be over. I think Sinar will be very happy to see this batch of high-quality furs."

found it.

After hearing this, Hela decisively pretended nothing had happened and followed the caravan.

This was a caravan mainly composed of humans, and the trucks were piled with a large number of northern specialties, among which animal skins accounted for the vast majority.

Since they were in the city, the caravan guards were not particularly alert. They chatted while guarding the caravan.

Even if one or two caravan guards saw Hela, they turned their heads away quickly after seeing the spellcaster badge on Hela's chest, fearing that they would provoke Hela. Although Hela was following them, they just thought it was a good opportunity.

After all, no matter how powerful a first-level spellcaster is, he would not follow a small caravan like theirs.

After following the caravan openly for a while.

As Hela watched the number of caravans around her increase, but the number of ordinary people decrease, she felt something was wrong.

Why are they all caravans?

Hela stood hesitantly in the corner, watching the caravans passing by her one after another, and then turned her head to look at the area they were heading to.

Above the three big characters on the gate of the Chamber of Commerce area.

Looking at these three words, Hela felt that maybe she had come to the wrong place?
She still recognized the word "Chamber of Commerce".

According to Roland and the explanation in the book, the Chamber of Commerce was originally a trade organization formed by nobles and merchants in Sinnar. It monopolized various commercial trades in Sinnar through various privileges granted by the nobles. In peacetime, it focused on profit and obtained monopoly profits. In wartime, it was responsible for various logistics and transportation.

Of course, as the chamber of commerce model was imitated by others and the Rose War broke out, the definition of the chamber of commerce continued to expand and evolve, so specific circumstances still need to be analyzed specifically.

But no matter what chamber of commerce it is, it has nothing to do with ordinary individuals.

Otherwise, she should go back to the hotel.

When Roland finishes his work, he will always go back.

Hela sighed and thought a little disappointedly.

"I said, why did you come here?"

A familiar voice sounded behind Hela.

Hearing the voice, Hela turned around in surprise and saw Roland standing behind her, looking somewhat helpless.

After all, he is just a minor.

Standing in the sun, Roland looked helplessly at the girl in front of him with tears in her eyes, and his tone subconsciously became gentler.

"Lost?"

Hela lowered her head and nodded slightly in response.

"Ah."

Roland walked up to Hela, held her hand, and spoke directly without saying anything else.

"Let's go."

"Ah."

Hela nodded obediently and followed Roland out of here obediently.

Seeing Roland holding her hand, she looked hesitant and nervous.

Roland was naturally aware of her situation, but he just thought that Hela must be alone and frightened.

So he walked while comforting her softly.

"I'm here, don't be afraid."

Hela did not answer, but ran to Roland's side in small steps. Then, she held his hand tightly and nodded silently.

Seeing that Hela didn't seem so nervous anymore, Roland felt relieved and pulled her towards the central square.

Although Hela seemed calm, Roland still silently cast a spell to peek into her true situation just to be on the safe side.

After discovering that she seemed to be still a little nervous, Roland was no longer in a hurry to walk. He slowed down his pace, took her for a stroll to relax her, and bought some snacks for her from the surrounding stalls.

Roland didn't quite understand the little girl's thoughts, so he could only use his own childhood experiences to comfort her anxiety and nervousness.
