Prologue, The Saved

This is what Vita recounted, she learned from various sources, Lancet...... Or rather, the story of Yu Tatsumi. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

――――――――

Everything starts on that day.

On the border of Saiaru, in a withered yellow landscape, a procession of slaves was marching slowly.

The body was only covered with a simple piece of linen, and the feet were also the worst straw sandals, and everyone carried a considerable amount of luggage on their backs, and as they moved, there was a sound of metal clattering in the backpacks.

They were escorted by two groups of soldiers in inferior armor and armed with spears.

This kind of scene is especially common in Saialu.

Slave countries are different from ordinary countries in every way. Among them, the most distinctive is probably the slave sword fighting group.

This is an organization for the amusement of the upper class, who make their slaves kill each other, and satisfy the perverted desires of the upper class with flashy battles and cruelty and gore.

Since it was meant to entertain the upper class, naturally, it was impossible for the big men to personally run to the garrison of the slave sword fighting regiment.

In Saiaru, large arenas were built in large cities, and slave sword fights were held regularly. The slave owners who owned the slaves [drove] their teams to the corresponding venues at the agreed time.

This time, there is no difference between normal and normal days.

The person who owns this team of slaves, named "Kailan". With the cunning eyes that all slave owners have, bloody and merciless lips, and a big belly full of ambition and ambition.

He was held aloft by eight slaves and marched all the way to the agreed city.

The weather was very hot, he was covered in sweat, and he couldn't help but stroke the golden beads in his hand, which were a fine gem polished from a whole piece of empty attribute Jin Yaoshi, and he knew that it was expensive at a glance.

Of course, this stone has a great origin. Through some special channel, the Kellan slave owner got his hands on this treasure.

It doesn't look good, but in fact, it's an ancient relic!

Moreover, it is the most suitable ancient relic of Kailan.

It looks like a bead, but in fact, it has the ability to connect things across space.

Once activated, it condenses into a chain-like thing, and brings back what Kailan wants: honor, power, new slaves...... and, a bright future.

This special ancient relic can't get things directly into Kailan's hands, first, the length is limited, about more than a hundred, less than two hundred sub-distances. At this distance, stealing is too easy to catch. Second, if you ignore the power of the space connection object, the spatial turbulence will directly crush the treasures that pass through the space.

However, Kellan soon understood the correct use of this treasure.

Ignoring space?

So that is...... Is it possible in the human body?

In slave sword fights, gambling fights often occur. With this chain, you can manipulate the outcome of the gamble without the god knowing.

Isn't that a big deal?

Moreover, this also ensured the source of slaves.

Like what...... When a slave owner dies suddenly, Kellan often buys his slaves at a high price......

Like what...... One day, all the people in a village died unexpectedly, leaving only the helpless children......

For slave owners, the number of slaves is everything. Especially for the sword fighting regiment.

Being able to manipulate the results of battles and gain access to a large number of slave sources made Kellan more and more famous in the circle of slave owners.

"Today's words...... Well, just let that kid die. Heck, he's been on a winning streak lately, and the odds should be ...... Hmph, it's good to be upset again. ”

Along the way, Kellan considered such thoughts.

Until......

"I ask you, are you Kailan? Slave owner Kailan. ”

One man stopped the procession.

Yes, there is only one person.

The person who came was obviously a woman, she had long hair, and the armor on her chest also clearly made the ups and downs of women.

She was wrapped in steel armor, wore a mask on her head, and held a medieval knight's spear that shone with astonishing strength.

Not?

Kailan's mind finally changed, and now he was thinking: Who is this girl?

"Which one are you?"

Anyway, Kailan made a gesture to signal the slaves to stop, and the two pairs of soldiers lined up left and right, the tip of the gun pointed at the comer, and the lineup of brushing together made Kailan's heart full of peace of mind. Knowing that his life was not in danger, Kailan was much more confident.

"I'm Kailan, what are you doing? Came to buy slaves? It doesn't look like it. ”

"What do I ...... I'm just passing through...... A messenger of justice. ”

The young female knight held the knight's spear in her hand, and the cyan wind wrapped heavily around the tip of her spear.

That's enough to be called a storm.

That's enough to be called a rage.

That is a blow that can change the color of heaven and earth.

The spear she thrown.

Simple movements, simple parabolas.

And then......

It's a raging tornado.

With one blow, two platoons of soldiers were completely routed. Including the slave ranks in the back.

And, Kailan.

Having lost his slave palanquin, he fell to the ground with a snap, knocking out his front teeth, and the blood in his mouth mixed with the dirt and stuck to his face.

"You, you, you...... Don't come here! ”

He scrambled backwards.

However, this did not have any effect. The female knight did not recall her spear and approached him with her bare hands. One step, two steps......

"Wow wow-you, don't you come here-ahh

The flustered expression suddenly converged halfway through, and was replaced by Kailan's expression overflowing with confidence.

The panic just now is acting.

As a slave owner, he experienced quite a lot of chaotic battles, and Saiaru was an advocate of force, and it was reasonable and legal to rob and plunder. Kailan is so rich, naturally many people have thought about killing him.

If he hadn't had enough guts, he would have been scared to death.

Using panic to confuse the enemy, Kailan's killer weapon is, of course......

Space chains.

Seven or eight chains crept out from behind the female knight...... Like a stupid bug, it aimed at the unguarded back of the female knight and slowly stretched out.

By the time a wild smile appeared on Kailan's face, eight chains had already been projected!

Got it!

That was Kellan's last thought.

He forgot the simplest truth.

The force is mutual.

If he could travel through space, he would use his chains to drag others into the turbulence of time and space.

Then in turn, others can also grab the chains, and in turn drag Kailan into the turbulence of time and space.

With a lightning advance, the female knight turned, grabbed several chains, and pulled them violently......

Before he could react, Kellan was swept up in the chaos of the space he had created...... It's like minced meat stuffed in a meat grinder.

The knight had no mercy, no sorrow, not even the disgusting flesh, she walked over to Kailan's corpse and picked up the golden orb with her hands.

"Let's not talk about using the power of ancient relics to do evil...... You've accidentally injured the friendly collaborators of the association a few times, and that's not the level of being able to stand idly by. ”

Turning around, the female knight left.

One blow caused great damage, and then, without leaving any emotion, pulled away.

A handsome way of acting.

Hopeful firmness.

Someone's dark pupils clearly reflected the heroic posture of this person's fighting.

Someone is very good at taking pain.

Because of his physical problems, he easily fractured bones and often endured severe pain, which made him extremely mentally resolute. Although the storm formed by the condensation of the fighting spirit made it difficult for him to breathe, and only the pain echoed in his internal organs, but even so, he still did not faint.

Subsequently......

He was resolute and took a step.

The first step towards perdition was taken.

――――――――

This is the third day.

The female knight was on the road all the time, without eating or resting. Day and night.

Shuttling through the forests on the border of Saiaru, someone followed her closely.

For three days.

It was a skinny boy.

Looking at the appearance of being only eight or nine years old, people can't help but sigh at a glance, whether he has eaten well, his body is thin and weak, even through the skin and flesh, you can clearly see the inside of his body, the bones are messy, full of traces of treatment.

Perhaps, it was because of this that he withstood the first blow of the female knight.

That slave owner deserved to die, but those slaves were innocent.

The female knight is measured, and the fighting spirit on the spear with that blow will not hurt people's lives. I'm afraid that it was this merciful gentleness of his subordinates that didn't make him fall into a coma.

So, he followed her for three days.

For three days, the female knight just wanted to get rid of him. The two are in two worlds, and it was a meeting that should not have intersected in the first place.

However, in three days, the boy, who was not yet ten years old, followed closely in the footsteps of the female knight, and the shoes on his feet were long worn out, and he walked barefoot, as if he did not feel pain, and his feet were cut by stones, and the blood was stained with the soil, and it was like a glue on his feet, but the bleeding was stopped.

Perseverance.

The knightess thought.

So, she continued on her way.

In fact, she has many ways to get rid of him.

However, in the end, she chose the most gentle way.

Thus, the days of being chased continued to seven days.

No matter how strong his willpower is, after all, he is just a child.

Seven days of not eating, drinking, sleeping, or resting made the child's body collapse completely, and he fell face down in the soft soil of the forest.

If he left it alone, he would be suffocated by the mud blocking his nostrils.

"Really...... So, do you want to go to my world? ”

The female knight sighed.

Slowly, approached him.

――――――――

"Huh?"

The boy woke up again because of the smell of food.

Or rather, a very weird taste.

The pungent smell of various herbs is mixed with the aroma of the food after cooking. The former makes the boy's whole body miserable, and the latter makes the boy's stomach growl.

Being patient is not the same thing as "not feeling hungry."

However, the first thing he did was to look around for the female knight.

However, in a white-toned, clean-looking room, there is only one blue-haired man with glasses.

He has an elegant and clean appearance reminiscent of beautiful jade, his red eyes reveal the brilliance of wisdom, his dark blue hair is combed up from root to root, and with the white vestment on his body, his whole person exudes a holy brilliance.

"Ah, you're awake, little one. Want something to eat? ”

The visitor smiled kindly, stepped aside, and picked up the porridge bowl on the table.

“……”

The boy did not speak.

As a slave, he could neither eat nor speak without the permission of his master.

The body reacted, drooling, but he was so spine-sensitive that he took them in his mouth and didn't even swallow them. For fear that the person in front of him will find out that he is hungry, and then tempt himself with food.

The first rule of being a sword fighter is to never expose your weaknesses to outsiders.

"Oops? Looks like I'm not trusted, huh? It's so sad...... Ah, or is it that you can't accept gifts from outsiders? Ahh Wiseman. As you can see, it's a clergy - now that we're acquainted, we can eat, right? ”

The boy ignored his performance and responded with indifference to his kindness.

And then...... The atmosphere was awkward......

Wiseman's squeezed smile completely stiffened in the air, overwhelming him: "Oops...... Well, it seems to be ignored? Ahaha...... That one...... Aha...... Really, if only that person had brought it...... I really want to open his mind after hypnotizing him directly......"

After a dry laugh, it was a very slight self-talk, and Wiseman sighed for a while.

During this time, the boy continued to endure hunger and confronted him in silence.

That's the sad thing about slaves.

Nothing can be done without the orders of the master.

Until......

The familiar figure reappeared.

The steely knight's armor had a hard texture in the air.

Also, the long moonlit hair.

"Ahh Isn't this Steel-sama? You're here. Living up to my promise, I have completely cured this child! ”

"Hmm."

The female knight nodded, indicating that she knew, and Wiseman closed his mouth very interestingly, and withdrew very knowingly.

"Teenager. You've been chasing me for a long time. ”

"Hmm."

"What do you want to do?"

"I'm going to follow my master."

“…… Yes. So, I ask you, would you like to join the Eater Serpent? ”

"I do."

Answered without hesitation.

Another possibility for someone, a completely different story, unfolds here. (To be continued.) )
