Chapter 5 Follow me and you will lose your freedom

The power was terrifying, and soon after, the knights confronted the monster, and their unrivaled power exploded, soaring into the sky.

Boom, boom.

On the other side of Bligh Square, it was so dusty that it was impossible to see what was going on, and the people who watched from a distance were terrified, and they only wanted to know if the knight had destroyed the monster.

The battle lasted half an hour, and the monster was destroyed by the knights, but no one felt joy, because the cost was very great, it can be said that the losses were heavy, and hundreds of people died because of the impact of the battle.

"Damn, whose chicken is this!"

At this moment, an angry roar came out, which could be heard almost by the entire Eastern District.

The situation is already clear, there are people in the city who keep poultry in captivity privately, this is a very serious matter, after the disaster broke out, the city lord gave an order.

Animals that are not allowed to be kept in the homes of nobles or commoners will be severely punished if discovered, and they can become monsters at any time due to the changes in the magic of nature.

This kind of headache has nothing to do with Mus, because he can't even feed himself, and it is even more difficult to expect him to raise animals than to make gold coins fall from the sky.

It is believed that this incident will keep the city lord busy for a long time, and there will inevitably be a thorough investigation, and the unlucky people may be expelled from Lenka City and left to destroy themselves in the wild.

Mauss spent an afternoon in the East End, but unfortunately he couldn't find the little girl, he didn't plan to stay here anymore, and wanted to get back to his residence as soon as possible.

On his way back, he took a look at the ruined Place Bligh, where the ground was pitted, the original bricks were long gone, and there were broken walls and pillars everywhere.

In addition, there are chicken feathers all over the ground, which makes one wonder if this is a poultry slaughterhouse.

"Come on, the lord of the city has spoken, and if you help with the work, there are two pieces of bread. ”

Guarded by the city guards, countless civilians were working in the ruins, and they were extremely enthusiastic, and beyond the square, there was a steady stream of people, both adults and children.

The familiar West End street came into view, and the first thing Maus saw was the bakery, the sturdy baker driving away the children gathered in front of the store.

They must have been so hungry that they kept begging.

The baker was finally generous, and he angrily took out some crumbs and threw them directly at the children.

Quietly watching the children scramble for breadcrumbs, Mause smiled a little, and he saw the familiar figure among the children.

The skinny little girl couldn't grab the crumbs at all, but she didn't give up, and unfortunately, she was pushed by a tall boy.

The body lost its balance in an instant, and the little girl fell directly to the ground, and her head hit a hard stone impartially, and blood flowed immediately.

"Wow wow. The little girl instantly turned into a bloody person, and everything around her turned red in her sight, and she instinctively covered her wounds, but to no avail.

The little ones who were scrambling for the crumbs ignored him, and after a while, they all dispersed, and the passers-by around them did not help the little girl, and the bloodshed and death became the norm, almost everyone was paralyzed, and the baker returned to the shop.

Maus walked straight into the bakery, and when he came out, with two loaves of bread in his hand, he walked towards the little girl with a blank face.

Sensing that someone was approaching, the little girl instinctively shrank back, and her whole body trembled involuntarily, and her blurred vision made it impossible for her to see the appearance of the person who came.

"It's useless for you to do this, the bleeding can't stop, put your hands down. ”

With a whisper of reminder, Maus squatted down directly and crushed a loaf of bread with his hand, and he took the little girl's hand away and applied the broken bread directly.

"Alright, now hold it down. ”

The little girl did not speak, but kept sobbing in a low voice, and she covered the wound with her hand again, and soon found the bread crumbs.

Coo-coo.

"Eat. ”

Mauss casually shoved another loaf of bread into the little girl's dirty hand.

"Thanks, thanks, you. ”

When the little girl had finished her bread, Maus, after making sure that her wound was not bleeding, led her to the sink in the alley.

"Wash your face, but don't let the water touch the wound. ”

After the cleaning, the world in the eyes of the little girl finally returned to normal, and she was ready to thank the owner of the voice for the first time, and when she saw the other party's face, she was so frightened that she couldn't even speak.

"It's a surprise, I robbed you of your bread last time, but I already gave it back to you just now, tell me, is your name Shura?" asked Maus with a smile, he had already guessed that the other party would react like this.

"Thank you, my name is Shura. The little girl was a little uncomfortable, and replied nervously.

"So, do you want to have bread to eat every day in the future?"

"Yes. Shura replied directly, staring at Maus, and gradually a look of hesitation appeared in her eyes.

"Come with me if you want, but your future freedom will be in my hands, you have to think about it. Maus said earnestly.

"Uh-huh, I'll go with you. Shura nodded desperately.

In Shura's opinion, there is nothing more terrible than hunger at the moment, and now that there is a person who is willing to offer bread every day, she has no reason to refuse.

Seeing the light in despair, Shura just wanted to hold on tightly, at the moment she was afraid that Maoss would suddenly disappear, even if the other party had done very bad things to her before, but what did it matter.

With each other, there's at least hope, isn't it?

"Here we are, this is where I live, it looks shabby, it can't keep the storm out, but it's only temporary, now you can do the first thing for me. ”

After returning to the residence, Mauss spoke directly.

"What can I do for you?" Shura, who was clearly not yet able to adjust to her new role, asked a little nervously.

"Simple, if I'm not mistaken, you have a key with you. ”

"Yes, it was given to me by my dad. ”

"I know, give it to me now. Mauss nodded, in a commanding tone.

Shura looked at each other uneasily, struggling inwardly, this key was the only memory she had left, and now she had to give it to someone else.

It was a difficult choice, and in the end Shura took out the keys.

"Very well, I hope this is the last time, your freedom is in my hands, and for my orders, you must obey unconditionally. Maus reminded indifferently.

Shura didn't speak, but nodded slightly, and for some reason, a chill actually surged in his heart.

Maus, who got the key, seemed calm, he ignored Shura, but chose to rest, there were important things to do tonight, and he had to make sure that he had enough energy.
