Dark caves, slave camps.

Slave cries were everywhere, the black dirt floor was mixed with bright red blood, and the air smelled of slave excrement and a thick smell of blood.

Some of them looked sluggish, watching the newcomers struggle with cold eyes, they were already hopeless about the future, and they would only be sluggish and obedient to the orders of the dark elves. They are the ones who have been arrested for a long time.

The other part of the group cried and cursed, even if they would be viciously whipped by the Dark Elf Overseer, but there was hope in their eyes, the hope of escape. They were the ones who had just been caught.

Ayton didn't want to see this, and silently followed behind his mentor with his head down.

I don't know how long it took, they came to the front of a larger wooden house, and there were two female dark elves standing at the door, and when they saw Shaperina coming over, they frowned and said, "Lord Shaperina, the queen has ordered, these slaves are rewarded to third-order newcomers as prizes for dueling competitions, and people above the third order are not..."

"Okay, I'm going to let my two disciples go in and take a look. Mentor Shaperina interrupted and beckoned to Ayton and Ariel, "Go inside, it's up to you to get it in the game." ”

The female guard glanced at the two of them and turned sideways to get out of the way.

"Ahh~" Suddenly, a terrible scream came from the house. Ayton paused for a moment, feeling that something bad was going on inside.

At this time, Ariel took Ayton's hand: "Let's go, brother." ”

Ayton smiled reluctantly, and the two walked into the cabin together. It was found that the light inside the room was extremely low, but with the unique vision of the dark elves, it was barely clear, and there were ten slaves stored here, 5 men and 5 women, one forest elf, one winged clan, and the rest were humans and orcs.

I saw a female dark elf stepping on the back of a winged girl, and she held a white wing in her hand, and blood was dripping from the fracture. The scream just now was made by the Winged Clan girl.

"Hey, what are you doing. Ayton hurriedly shouted, stepping forward to stop her atrocity.

"Hmm, who are you, and why do you care about me? The Dark Elf woman said with disdain.

By this time, Shaperina and one of the guards had also walked in to see what was happening.

Ayton paused and took a deep breath and said, "Aren't these going to be used as prizes for dueling tournaments, aren't you afraid of being punished for doing so?" ”

"Hmph, duel tournament, I've already booked this slave, what's wrong with playing in advance. The woman said disapprerovingly, and then stepped on the winged girl again.

"Pluck your wings to see if you're still arrogant, huh. She said viciously.

The girl vomited a mouthful of blood to the ground, the gray linen clothes and animal skin trousers she was wearing were stained with blood, there was a white wing on her back that emerged from an opening in the back of the dress, and a small piece of protruding flesh was made in the other incision, and you could see the bone in the middle, bright red blood was coming out, and from the integrity of the edge of the opening, it could be seen that this dress was customized by the Wing Clan themselves, and other races would not make this kind of clothing with an opening on the back.

The guard frowned and said, "Saliyas, although you are the first person in the third order of the clan, you can only play with it after the game is over, you have broken the rules like this." ”

"I see" Saliyath waved her hand and walked over to Ayton, "Are you going to participate in the dueling tournament too, you better expect not to run into me, nosy guy." With that, he left the hut.

Ayton didn't think so, but Ariel's eyes narrowed slightly, and she quietly clenched the black dagger in her hand, and Ayton touched her lightly: "Don't bother to take a woman." Ariel relaxed.

"You're in trouble. Tutor Shaperina chuckled, "She's the first person of your younger generation, and it's said that it won't be long before she can break through to the fourth order,"

"It doesn't matter, I won't lose to her by then," Ayton shrugged

"Haha, depending on your age, you're her next newcomer. The guard scoffed, "You can still win her, do you know what she likes to do most in battle?" ”

"I've heard that she is very fond of torturing her enemies and eating them. "At least 10 people in her class have died at her hands. ”

Ayton walked over to the Wing Clan girl and squatted down, only to see that she was about 16 years old, a year older than Ariel, with long sky blue hair and fair skin with a little dirt, her little face was a little pale due to excessive blood loss, her eyelids were half-drooping, and her golden pupils were stubborn, and she was trying not to pass out.

"It's better to treat her than to talk about the useless ones, she bleed a lot. Then he tore a corner of his own clothes and bandaged the girl's wound.

The girl struggled to resist, but she lost too much blood, and it seemed that she had been hungry for several days, and she had no strength at all, so she was quickly suppressed by Ayton. "If you don't want to die, don't move. ”

"Hah, you shouldn't have a crush on her. The female guard said, "You still dare to grab prey with that woman, it is said that that woman likes Wing slaves very much." ”

"Don't worry, the vitality of the Wing Clan is still very strong, and this kind of small injury still can't die. Saperina said

One of the wings was broken and slightly injured, and Ayton was speechless: "Don't worry, I will solve my own affairs with her." ”

"Then take your time and see for yourselves, I'm out, remember not to break the other slaves again. With that, the guard walked out of the cabin.

After Ayton finished bandaging, he suddenly felt a fist hit him in front of him, Ayton quickly raised his right hand and grabbed the fist with his backhand, and then kicked his waist with a sweep of his leg, Ayton immediately grabbed the incoming little foot with his left hand, and then raised his hands.

The speed is too slow, the strength is too small, but the striking point and feel are very good, and it seems that this winged girl has practiced.

"Let go of me, despicable dark elves," the Wingclan girl's crisp voice rang out. Just now, she regained a little strength and launched an attack on Ayton.

Ariel stopped. ”

Ariel's palm immediately stopped on the right side of the Winged Girl's face, and the wind blew the hair on the Winged Girl's cheek, but she didn't blink her eyes.

"Brother saved you, is that how you did to him?" said Ariel with a cold eye at the Wing Clan's girl.

"Who wants you damn dark elves to save. The Wingclan girl's tears suddenly burst out, and she choked up, "It's because you despicable dark elves have attacked us, Cheryl, Romir... Everybody ......"

Ayton lowered his head, not daring to look at the girl's sad golden eyes, and then let go of her. The girl immediately fell to her knees and held her head in pain. The violent action just now caused the wound to tear open a little more, and blood flowed down the strip of cloth that had just been bandaged, but the latter ignored it.

Ariel also took a step back, her expression a little complicated. Shaperina said expressionlessly: "I'm out too, you feel free." Then he left the cabin as well

After a while, Ayton put his hand on the girl's shoulder and comforted, "But aren't you still alive?" ”

The girl opened Ayton's hand, her face was covered with tears, and she said viciously, "Do you want to survive and become your slave, don't dream." ”

Ayton looked at the Winged Clan's girl's face, which was getting more and more pale due to excessive bleeding, "But there's always hope for life, isn't it?"

The girl turned her head and ignored Ayton, and for a moment the three of them were a little silent, watching the blood on their backs flow more and more.

"That's... I think I can heal your wounds. A shy, sweet voice rang out from a corner of the room to Ayton's ears.

Ayton followed the sound and found a petite forest elf girl sitting in a cage in the corner of the room, about 14 years old, with long green hair, fair skin that can be broken by blowing, wearing a green dress with many elf-style patterns, a small black forbidden ring on one ankle, and the turquoise eyes that looked at Ayton were mixed with fear and pleading.

I've heard that the forest elves are proficient in life magic, so she should know a little healing spell. Ayton stepped forward and looked her in the eye and asked, "You can really save her." ”

The forest elf girl nodded, and whispered with a slight tremble, "Well, as long as I can untie the little black ring on my feet." ”

Ayton looked at the forbidden ring on her foot, and suddenly remembered that the Winged Girl also had a forbidden ring on her foot. Suddenly, it was as if some kind of decision had been made.

'Bloodblade Flurry'

The iron cage in front of Ayton was cut in two, and the iron rod fell to the ground with a crisp thud

'Brother!?' Ariel looked at Ayton with wide eyes.

Ayton walked into the cell, and the elf girl's eyes widened and she instinctively wanted to step back, but Ayton grabbed her ankle with one hand.

"Ahh

"Don't move, it might hurt a little later, hold back. Ayton whispered, pulling her towards himself, then grabbed the Forbidden Ring with both hands and slammed it to the sides.

"Smack" the forbidden lock is broken.

Feeling the magic in her body again, the elf girl couldn't help but smile like a reunion.

"Don't be stunned, hurry up and save people. ”

"Ahh

At this time, the girl of the Wing Clan had lost too much blood and passed out, her face was pale, her back was covered with blood, and she looked extremely miserable.

Third-Order Magic 'Healing'

The warm green light was emitting from the elf girl's hand, and the green light slowly condensed into a ball of light, and then it was injected into the wound, and the blood was quickly stopped, and the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Winged Clan girl gradually regained consciousness under the green light, and muttered, "Am I dead?" ”

Ayton put his hand on the girl's head and whispered, "You're not dead yet, believe me, there will always be hope in life." ”

The Winged Girl glanced at Ayton in a daze, and then fell unconscious again.

'Is there always hope in life?' the elven girl thought silently in her heart.

After a while, the wound had completely healed. The elf girl stood up and said, "Her body is still very weak, and she needs to cultivate more. ”

"What's your name, how many mages are you, what kind of magic are you good at. Ayton asked, nodding.

"I... My name is Ilully, and I'm a third-order mage who specializes in life-based healing magic. The elf girl replied a little afraid to look at Ayton's eyes.

"Well, how did you get caught. ”

"I... I sneaked out of the Flower Language Forest to play alone, and then I was caught by you. Ilully lowered her head and said with a slightly red face, "That... Big brother, you won't hurt me. ”

Looking at Illuri's trembling body and uneasy expression, Ayton touched her head and said softly, "I won't hurt you, I promise." ”

"Thanks... Thank you big brother. Ilully grasped the corners of her clothes with both hands, and her expression relaxed slightly.

"Hey, what are you doing in there, you're leaving. At this time, Mentor Shaperina came in and said, "Hey, why did you fall in love with a forest elf again?" ”

"Why did you still let her out," the mentor frowned.

"Well, I let her out. Ayton pointed to the unconscious Winged girl on the ground, "To save her"

"Oh, well, then you should put it on again now, it won't be good for the guards to see it. At the same time, he threw a new forbidden ring beside him to Ayton.

Ayton took the forbidden ring and looked at Illuria and whispered, "Trust me, okay?"

Ilully nodded, "Hmm." ”

Then Ayton fastened the forbidden lock to her feet, her cage was destroyed by Ayton just now, Ayton could only let her into the cage of the Winged Girl, and then picked up the Winged Girl and put it in.

"Help take care of her, okay. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Brother, why are you so good to them, I'm going to be angry. Ariel disgruntled.

"Well, well, it's time for us to go. Ayton touched his head, embarrassed.

"Hmph" Ariel stepped forward and grabbed Ayton's arm, then walked towards the door, glancing at Eluli before leaving, as if threatening something.

Ayton could only smile helplessly.

After the three of them walked out of the cabin, Mentor Shaperina asked Ayton and said lightly, "How is it, have you figured out what ranking you want to win in the competition?" ”

"Well, I figured it out. Ayton said, "I'm going to take the first." ”
