"Alice!" After baking a new batch of sweet potatoes, Charlotte happily picked up a sweet potato that was still burning and stuffed it to Alice: "Come on, this is sweet." ”

It smells pretty sweet...... Sniffing with her nose, Alice stood up tiredly, listening to the sound of the chains: they had been used to wearing shackles for so long. Now these things are completely part of her body. But no matter what, she always found it inconvenient, and she felt like she was in captivity all the time.

The main reason for this is the length of the chain of the neck bolt, which is about one meter. The length of the four sections on the hands and feet is okay, and the impact will not be too great.

The shackles are so tight that there are few gaps to move them around, so they are always held in a wrist position all year round. Because the feature that cannot be taken off after wearing it is designed to be worn for a long time, the edges of the shackles are rounded, and it is very difficult to wear through the skin.

...... One of the scariest things about this kind of thing is that. It's that the person who wears them can't use the magic that can change their form anymore. For example, teleportation, transfiguration, invisibility, etc., will be immune. Correspondingly, Alice finds herself susceptible to illusions, freezes, and other magic.

It was a sheer disaster for the prisoners, and a double-edged sword for the warriors, especially the dragon knights, who specialize in killing the most dangerous thugs. Having already accepted the shackles of time and the courage to look directly at herself, Alice began to use them as much as she could: for example, when she couldn't defend against spells with her Nether Iron Shield, she used her left hand to parry the flying magic: they could be effective even through armor.

...... In the capital of the Eurasian Empire, there are such magical thugs.

Holding the sweet potato, Alice took a small bite, and then reveled in it: although it was a little mushy, the burnt smell was really good.

Suddenly, the slime that was tightly tucked into the gap of less than a millimeter in the collar began to move, and Alice panicked and quickly reached out to touch it: I forgot it...... What the hell is this?!

"Mom, did you notice?" Charlotte swallowed visibly, then reached out and pulled out the slime: "That witcher took a bunch of ingredients in the guest room to alchemize before, and then accidentally got this thing because I used to play with it." ”

...... Alice was stunned for a moment, then quickly pulled out the slime and squeezed it in her hand.

Careless...... The ...... that came out

It seems that this is really a slime! Some experiments involving the reorganization of the structure of life often fail, and if they fail, it is easy to get a slime.

The slime bounced and began to say in an uncle's voice at high speed, "Hey, this beauty! I'm Mike!"

...... Alice didn't say anything for a long time.

"Do you want to talk to me about your life ideals-ahahahah!"

Suddenly, the slime is snatched away by Charlotte, roasted and munched.

Are slimes who can speak human words...... It was just eaten. Alice sighed and decided not to think about it anymore: Charlotte eats everything, and even slimes can chew so happily.

Last time, because a piece of barbecue fell on the stool, she gnawed all the stools along the way.

Silently eating the remaining roasted sweet potatoes in her hand, Alice suddenly heard someone going up the stairs: judging by the footsteps, it was Beverly.

And there's something in it.

"Wow, barbecue!" Charlotte jumped out of bed as the door was opened, happily grabbing the plate, "Wow...... What a little roast suckling pig!"

"You said you were a suckling pig, how ......big can it be," gently snatched back the plate, Beverly sat down next to Alice, and said in a gentle tone with a slight reproachful charm: "We are in the hotel in Beihaiwang, and now we are fine." But, Alice—"

I'll pay attention next time...... Gesturing to Beverly, Alice smiled and shook her head.

"Well, I'm not trying to say anything more - hey, Charlotte, don't eat all the pork legs, Alice is still hungry. Smashing the head of the dragon girl who was gobbling up, Beverly leaned down and hugged Alice in pain: "Your body is still very tired......, right?

There was still a blizzard hanging outside the window, and Alice listened to them quietly, shaking her head depressedly. She said to the dragon hunter in sign language, "I want to see the outside world once in a while." Especially the scenery around here is so good. ”

"Yes...... I'm not qualified to say that at all. With a wry smile, Beverly handed the pork leg to Alice, "Do you want me to feed you?"

Anyway, I make all the food at home, so there is no problem with eating...... Shaking her head firmly, Alice, who had always believed in doing it herself and hoping to realize that she could live a normal life, took the pork leg and began to nibble on it.

Beverly always says that only children always want to prove something, but I don't think so...... Alice thought sullenly: If someone like me doesn't prove anything, everyone will always treat you as a slave.

...... That's probably why I became a dragon knight and trained how to wield the power of dragon blood and combat skills.

After biting down on another pork leg, Alice instantly felt that all the hunger she had temporarily suppressed when she was asleep had returned. So she devoured it, and soon ate the pork legs: the combat power of sweet potatoes is really much worse than that of meat.

Also, is there anything else...... Wiping her mouth with a handkerchief, Alice hurriedly gestured with sign language.

Alice's Sign Language is the universal sign language of the Eurasian Empire, where the important points are expressed first, and then the other words are expressed. This allows her to communicate with deaf people in many places. Alice sometimes even feels glad that her eardrums are still there. The previous owners didn't stab them, as if they were just trying to keep the shots going.

Neravos had tried to find a mage and a priest to heal Alice's senses, but to no avail. They were lost when Alice was a teenager and could not be recovered years later.

The host even took Alice to the Fountain of Our Lady (mentioned in the late autumn dream of Book 1, Section A, Chapter 12, which was the spring that restored sight to the eyes, which dried up after the 13,000-year reign of the Eurasian dynasty). However, those who do not have eyes cannot be restored to their sight by the Fountain of Our Lady. Alice didn't mind that, for she had already guessed that it would be a similar outcome.

The Fountain of Our Lady itself is a tool used to consolidate power and win hearts and minds, a secret that only a few people know.

Wouldn't it be nice to imagine that the eyes of the blind could be healed under the rule of the Eurasian Empire? There are so many similar examples, and there are even ugly and dark shocking facts. Alice has been exposed to almost all of these facts. (Alice knows quite a few secrets, and the character itself is important.) This has to do with the trust of people like Nairavos and the Eurasian Emperor. But in fact, it's also largely because she's saddled with a slave contract that can't reveal secrets.)
