Section B, Chapter 94: Slave Memories (Alice)

Alice woke up again to find herself covered with a quilt on her soft cot.

...... It was like a nightmare.

Accustomed to being blind and unable to open her eyelids without eyeballs, Alice kept her eyes closed, as if she were in a deep sleep.

I could vaguely hear someone downstairs raising a glass and drinking. With a slight tug of the quilt, Alice moved her tightly held feet away from the shackles: sometimes, the chains would get tangled around each other. This is troublesome and not conducive to getting out of bed.

Alice noticed that there was a familiar person sitting next to her, munching on a roasted sweet potato. Sniffing a little with the instinct of a canine, Alice patted her with relief: it was Charlotte's smell.

"Sleepy?" The dragon girl trembled slightly, then leaned back happily and leaned against Alice, "Are you hungry?"

Good, so fragrant...... Listening to Charlotte's voice, Alice swallowed and nodded. Then, the sound of kraft paper was turned. Charlotte took a piping hot roasted sweet potato and shoved it into Alice's mouth.

I can eat it myself, put it back first...... Hurriedly gesturing in the direction of the dragon girl with sign language, Alice listened wearily to the sound of the chains shaking, and felt her hands and ankles stiffen from the friction of the shackles.

...... No, it should be because I was too active during the previous battles.

With this set of torture equipment, it is easier to stay motionless like this.

Is it an illusion? It seems a little tight in the scarf...... Touching it with her hand, Alice was surprised to find that someone had stuffed something like a slime into it.

What is this? Alice was puzzled: And is there something strange under my head?

Oh yes...... Touching the lump under the pillow, the dragon knight was in a daze and remembered what was going on: he was so sleepy (because he used magic to simulate his eyeballs and vocal cords, which was very exhausting), so he was brought here by Beverly to sleep. It seems that one of Aya came to Lu, and she gave me her dumpling Minia as a pillow, saying that it was good for sleep.

...... Unfortunately, not vanilla-flavored. Smelling the dumplings, Alice felt a wave of disappointment: Otherwise, I could have eaten some.

So Alice reached over to the lump and groped for a while: she seemed to be asleep too.

"Alice, eat fast, eat fast. Charlotte happily took a bite of each sweet potato, then picked out the sweetest and handed it to Alice: "If you don't eat it, it will be cold." ”

This—This is all baked...... Relieved to take a bite of the sweet potato, Alice almost spit it out. However, feeling Charlotte's expectant gaze, she smiled and ate it.

No, no! Alice began to cough silently: this is a complete mushy...... Dragons are really rough in eating.

"Hey...... Is it because it's cold?" Charlotte looked very troubled. So she pulled out a sack and began to pick up sweet potatoes again. Immediately, they were all placed on the oven, and they were swept by a burst of low-temperature dragon breath, and they were instantly cooked.

...... Of course, the same scorched. The smell of coke reached Alice's nose.

Didn't I teach her how to roast sweet potatoes...... However, it is true that the dragons think that something with a little baked paste will be more delicious...... Alice felt a deep sense of helplessness: she always felt that the dragon's thinking would always be a little different from that of Ebone. But in fact, a large part of it is because Charlotte is more stupid.

But anyway, this kid seems to have gone too far, right? Maybe it's just because he's always with me.

Although Alice is blind and mute, she is quite skilled in walking in the dark, so she can go out for a walk. But you still need someone to accompany you.

...... Usually this person is Charlotte, Beverly, and occasionally Lord Nairavos, the Ice Knight. Nairavos is Alice's master, but he's nothing like the sadistic owners of the girls who used to punch and kick her. This person treats her very well and treats her as a human being. In the end, Alice was even allowed to choose her own path in life and become a dragon knight.

Alice then returned to Nairavos and continued to accompany her master. Beverly's experience is similar to Alice's, but fortunately: she only comes to Nairavos as a maid and not as a slave. And, it's completely voluntary.

At that time, Alice's work as a dragon knight was very busy, which made Nairavos, who was originally reluctant to get along with outsiders, recruit another servant to share Alice's pressure. Despite her reluctance to hand over the work she enjoyed most every day to anyone else, Alice had to admit that she was overwhelmed by the heavy work of the dragon knight, and that it was too much time to spend serving her master. Moreover, maybe the food made by the blind will still be almost something.

It is said that there was a large crowd of men, women and children at the job fair, and Nairavos was so annoyed that he just opened the list and flipped a few pages casually, and read the name he saw at first sight: Beverly. Since this is also an orphan, it is customary for the retinue of the Ice Knight to have the surname Frostwind if they do not have a surname.

The Ice Knight who is extremely discerning about food and drink (all spoiled by Alice's meticulous cooking skills and unique understanding, and now she is the only one who knows Nairavos's preferences. When the ice knight doesn't like a dish, he just keeps his voice so muffled that he can't tell what's not delicious) helplessly discovers that this new maid is only suitable for cleaning and other jobs, and can't grasp the taste of his favorite cuisine at all.

Then he found a lot of chefs but to no avail, Alice couldn't stand it anymore, and finally came to help herself. Correspondingly, all other chores are transferred to Beverly.

Later, Nailavath discovered that Beverly was quite agile and good at stealth, and after repeated questioning, she was able to tell her about her experience of stealing for a living with a gang of thieves. When I grew up, I got tired of this dirty work and didn't wash my hands.

Although it was found that her physique and soul were not suitable to be a dragon knight, Beverly still became a special class of dragon hunters (there were almost no dragons to hunt, and they basically obtained the power of dragon blood and went to do other things). Because he has received special training from his master like Alice, his combat effectiveness is getting stronger and stronger.

Draped in a purple cloak, the man in the golden mask (a dead pervert) dangled the threads in his hands and tied them to the puppet.

"Hmm...... It's been a long time, Alice. He looked at a mirror that showed Alice's room, and said leisurely, "Your soul is really quite strong...... I'm quite interested. ”

"For the abyss of revenge, the more brutal the soul that survives, the more valuable it is. However......"

"You seem to be missing a bit of revenge. Do you want me to help you kill some relatives and friends and cultivate them?"

"For example...... How about your favorite master?" staring at the puppet in the shape of Neravos in his hand, the puppeteer of Hell narrowed his eyes, "Then, let me see if you can still find your own meaning in the abyss." ”
