Looking at the buttery bread that exuded a delicious aroma, the girl couldn't help but swallow her saliva, and a certain longing in her heart instantly exploded.

At the moment, she didn't care much, and just took the bread and devoured it.

Looking at the girl's very rough appearance, Burton frowned. As a disciple of the Great Family, he certainly knew how sad the fate of slaves would be. Even the Torch Council had been advocating for deslavery, but the existence of slave traders and slave markets had made all these efforts come to naught.

In particular, the existence of the Slave City has been heard of even by Burton, who is located in the low world. In fact, every year in the Gloom World, some people go missing, and they may be captured by the slave group.

In the Slave City, you can buy most of the slaves of Ello's race, and some wealthy people can even place orders for the slave catchers to capture the target they want.

Undoubtedly, the girl in front of her is such an example. Thinking of this, Burton couldn't help but glance at the girl with a pitying gaze.

The girl who was enjoying the "big meal" felt a different kind of gaze, she slowly raised her head, and the two pairs of eyes met like this.

"You're taking pity on me. The girl said gloomily.

"I don't pity anyone, people's fate has to be fought for by themselves. Burton whispered, clenching his fists.

"To fight for it is to despair. The girl swallowed the last bite of bread and curled up on her knees again.

"How do you know if you haven't tried?" Burton said fiercely, he believed to himself, he also believed that he could gain status and freedom by trying to impress the old stubborns, he was fed up with this oppressive environment, he wanted to see the outside world.

That's right, his original intention of wanting to be the heir of the Felix family was just to go out and see, because only the heir has this power, and many of the other young children have to serve the family in this manor even if they are adults.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is a magnificent manor with a long history. Life inside is rich and enjoyable, like paradise.

But in Burton's eyes, it was just a prison, a golden cage at best, and no matter how beautiful it was, it only imprisoned their bodies and freedom.

Some people are born with a thirst for adventure, a thirst for unfamiliar places one after another, and Burton is just that.

He is doing his own struggle, fighting against his family, fighting against fate, fighting against imprisonment, fighting against the world.

"To live would be more terrible than to die. The girl seemed to remember something, and began to tremble.

"Then what are you afraid of? I can feel you, what are you afraid of, scared to the bottom of your soul. ”

"Slave City, that hell. The girl sobbed.

Burton was silent in his heart, and those who have not experienced it will never know the horror and fear.

"My name is Burton Felix, what's your name?"

"Teresa, my name is Teresa Gere. The girl said without hesitation.

"Teresa Geir..." Burton muttered, then got up and went back to the side of the chair to read.

Theresa held her little cheek and stared at Burton strangely, this young man was really strange enough to behave.

"Look at me again, be careful that I really put you on the spot. Burton's deep voice suddenly floated.

Teresa subconsciously hugged the quilt and then released it, "You won't." ”

"You've only known me for such a short time, how do you know?" Burton sneered.

"I can feel your heart, you have no ill will towards me. Teresa said.

"Feel the mind?" Burton looked up again.

"I've had this ability since I was a kid, but it's not comfortable. Teresa lowered her head, and although she could not fully read the human mind, she could feel the darkness and the negativity of the rage.

What's even more terrifying is that she has lived in the slave city for more than ten years, and the endless dark impact penetrates deep into the soul, and misery and wailing are the main theme of every day.

"Magical abilities, Teresa, what is the outside world like. Burton couldn't help but say, his thirst for the outside world had never been more frenzied.

"The outside world is very warm, the sky is very blue, the water is very clear, and the fragrance of nature is still there. Teresa smiled sweetly.

"Starting from the sacred mountain of Fryer in the far west, it rises and falls along the mountains to the plain of Tegucasso, and beyond the vast meadows, to the north are endless ice fields, to the south are wild forests, and to the east are raging rivers. ”

"It's a vast world, full of color and beauty. ”

"Really?" said Burton's heart, how he wanted to see everything Teresa said. Even in the gloomy world, each place has a different atmosphere.

"There will be a day, definitely!" Burton swore secretly.

Teresa's words sparked his heart's desire even more, and this was not the end of his life, but a starting point.

"Unfortunately, I can't see it anymore. Teresa said in frustration.

"No, you'll see, do you believe me?" Burton raised his head, his mouth slightly upturned, unable to hide his smile, he looked like a show-off little boy.

"Really?"

"Of course, you can stay here from today onwards, and usually clean up my room, don't worry, no one here will come. Burton said softly.

He didn't know why he was so close to Teresa, maybe it was years of loneliness that made him have a deeper demand for emotion.

This kind of appeal is just a simple chat and release of emotions, without any impurities. Burton believes Teresa feels the same way, as if they were the same kind of people, both in a cage, longing for unlimited freedom.
