Chapter 35: Lori's Thief and Perverted Owner
Three years ago.
"That...... Lord, master? This time...... Brother, did he say anything? ”
A cramped, filthy room, the murky air emitted a disgusting stench that made it impossible to stay for a second.
The bloated body sat on a seat made of rubble, the two long fangs on the side of his mouth trembled, and his nose made a snorting sound.
He looked at the little girl who was cowering in front of him, and a smug look flashed in his little eyes.
Reaching out with only four short fingers, he picked up the dirty fruit next to him, and he threw the fruit into his mouth like candy, chewing it so hard that the cracked fruit crumbs fell from his pig's mouth that could not be closed.
The juice spilled, a little splashed on the face of the girl in front of her, but the other party didn't even dare to wipe it.
If you look closely, although the girl is ragged and skinny, her eyes are bright and clear, as beautiful as a lake.
The childish face has soft lines, and although the cheeks are slightly sunken due to lack of nutrition, it can still be seen that this is a very cute young girl, and she will definitely be a big beauty when she grows up.
Raising her little hand and gently touching the tip of her nose, she seemed a little impatient.
"The ......"
Just as she was about to open her mouth to ask again, the boar monster smashed the mound of dirt beside her with dissatisfaction, glaring at the other party with extremely vicious eyes.
The girl's shoulders trembled, horror carved into her face, she took a step back, instinctively raising her hand to hook the silk thread around her waist, but she quickly realized that it was a wrong move.
Just as she was about to open her mouth to apologize, the very strong palm slapped her soft little face, causing her to spin in a circle in the air and fall to the ground.
"Afra, you just wanted to rebel against me, didn't you?!!"
The boar monster roared, roaring with an unpleasant grunt.
"I didn't ...... Nothing, master, I just wanted to ......"
Afra's tears fell to the ground like dropped pearls, mingling with the dirt, and it took her a long time to come up with a reason.
"I just wanted to check the tools." Her voice was inaudible, like a mosquito.
If it could, Afra would have wanted to leave this place now, to leave Kas Bay and go to the outside world, this ghost place was so annoying to her that she didn't want to stay here for a moment.
But she can't go, at least not now, because she still has a younger brother, and she can't go by herself, but she lets her brother stay in this hellish place, and his brother is her only relative.
"Afra, if Guy has something to say to you, then I'll tell you, understand?" The boar monster calmed down and said.
Although he hated the young human girl in front of him, he had to keep her by his side and let her work for himself, so he had to give the other party a little sweetness when the time was right.
No reward is needed, just a wonderful lie, which is probably the cheapest reward in the world, so cheap that it is not even as good as the dirt on the ground.
"Guy has been in a bad mood lately, so he's been sullen."
The boar monster said as he crushed an apple.
He watched the girl in front of him suddenly turn pale, and his heart was very happy.
The feeling of being in control of people's hearts made him feel intoxicated, and it was a good feeling that he was just a reseller with no status in Kaswan and that he could be driven by such a good servant.
"Why?" The young girl in front of him dared to ask him.
What can I do about this? What reason should I find to prevaricate this stupid girl?
Oh yes, that's a good reason! The boar monster had a flash of light in his head, and he had a bad idea.
"Afra, you know, I never let Guy out, so he often gets bored, and his only pleasure is talking to his sister."
The pig-headed monster shook his head and muttered: "You sisters and brothers were bought by me when they were still babies, and you know that I didn't buy you to adopt a child, if you hadn't made me a lot of money, otherwise I would have sold that useless boy a long time ago, and would I have kept him?" ”
"Don't!!"
Afra's body trembled slightly, her face was as white as paper, and her eyes were surging with fear and fear.
The pig-headed monster let out a happy chirp, which was exactly what he wanted to see, it was so interesting, what would the little ghost in front of him know that she didn't have a brother at all?
At first, he just picked up a girl who was delirious, and seemed to have lost his memory, and he had casually made up a lie and planned to buy her for a good price.
But by coincidence, he found out that the other party was actually the giver, so relying on a non-existent "brother", he deceived this stupid imp to this day.
If nothing else, this invisible chain will always bind Afra, and she will not run away even if she is able, but will always work for him and give her all.
The pig-headed monster said proudly: "I've been in a bad mood lately, and I don't want to take care of that little ghost, but if you can work harder, maybe I can have some fun for Guy~~"
Afra's eyes showed determination, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I'm sure I'll steal more!" Absolute! You won't be disappointed! ”
The immature voice was resolute, and after saying that, she put on a broken cloak and walked to the door without hesitation. ”
After a moment of silence, Afra nodded, "Yes." ”
If you are discovered, you can't run here, but you have to flee away from this place, and if you keep being chased, you won't come back until you get rid of your pursuers.
If it doesn't, the monster will turn itself back into a lonely man.
Leaving the foul-smelling room, Afra finally breathed in fresh air, which was a little hot and dry, but much better than the stench inside.
She had to find a game of sufficient weight to steal valuable items from them, and the rich were usually found in the bazaars of Kas Bay, the best hunting grounds for Afra.
The cloak covered her face, and she sprang up a roof and flew in the direction of the bazaar, where she finally landed on a tall building and quietly blended into the crowd like a drop of water into the sea.
Walking through the crowd, Afra keenly observes everything around her, not only to see who is dressed more richly, but also to watch out for anyone to keep an eye on her, as the role switch between hunter and prey is all too common here.
Merchants and buyers bargained with each other, and all kinds of sounds were mixed in the ears, and it was difficult to distinguish them.
In the dense crowd, Afra saw a person, that person looked good in clothes, basically not seen in Kas Bay, I heard that these people are outsiders, generally very rich, and the most important thing is that the other party is the same as herself, is also a human being.
There are very few humans in Kas Bay, and if they do, they don't live for long, and Afra was surprised to see them here.
It was him, Afra muttered to herself.
With the help of the flow of people, he slowly approached the other party, and finally, it was very close.
"Hey, hey, boss, this is a very precious piece of armor, it should be worth a lot of money, right?"
The man and the vendor were haggling to sell something.
A very young man, who looked clean, but looked lazy and unmotivated, Afra thought it was because of his lazy eyes.
But what does it have to do with her, anyway, after stealing this guy's things, she left right away.
"Little brother, your armor material is a good material, but you see, it's all broken like this!" The vendor with the head of a rat waved his hand and refused.
"You think about it again, you look at the material, even if it is re-melted ......"
The man in front of him was haggling, treacherous and cunning, and after a heated debate, the rat dealer seemed to be almost convinced by the other party.
But in fact, the equipment was worthless, even Afra could see this.
"I'm getting ready to go to the imperial capital. If it weren't for the lack of money, I wouldn't want to sell it, so I plan to go back and smelt it myself to make another weapon. The boy touched his chin, as if he was thinking seriously.
The rat dealer also used his thin fingers to prepare for the money.
Now is the time! Afra seized the opportunity.
At this moment, she did not hesitate to use her best skill - string technique!
Allowing the silk thread as light as spider silk to perform difficult operations in the air is something that only a wind giver like Afra can do, and with a slight manipulation of the surrounding air flow, the silk thread can complete many seemingly impossible tasks, twisting, cutting, cutting, and pulling, and it is easy to get the man's bag off his back in this way.
As usual, Afra got his hands on it, and the shoulder straps of his bag were cut off in an instant, and the loot fell into his hands.
The boy quickly turned his head and saw only a bustling crowd.
Afra walked away from the crowd, glancing behind her, but no one followed.
Finding a remote corner, Afra took the cloak off her head, opened her stolen bag, and looked inside.
The potions in the bottles and cans, all the blue liquid, the crystal liquid flashes a little fluorescence, it looks beautiful, and the glass bottles outside are very beautifully made, which can be called a work of art.
"It should be worth a lot of money."
Afra smiled, if these things were really valuable, maybe the monster would have some fun for Guy, and Guy wouldn't be depressed.
"Afra, hold on a little longer, and you'll be able to meet Guy as soon as you're an adult."
Afra encouraged herself to continue this painful life in this way.
Just as Afra was talking to herself, a figure appeared at the end of the alley, and the owner had been found.
He looked at the petite back, his brow furrowed slightly.
"Hey, there are still humans in this place?"
