Five days later... The Moon Elves elected a temporary representative, and she arrived at the Lord's Mansion under the escort of the Lord's guards.

"My lord, I'll take these documents, and besides, here's the list of refugees we've counted these days..." Chris took out a small notebook from his satchel and handed it to Ted, then turned and left the office to continue working.

At the same time, a thin female moon elf is led by the guards into the office.

The scrawny shell could hardly imprison her unique temperament, like a rose blooming quietly in the night.

The appearance of the wind and dust showed another kind of bleak beauty, the heavy dust did not hide her perfect face, and the delicate face made Ted's heart tremble slightly...

It's just that at this moment, she is like a frightened cat, panicked, insecure, and needs someone to comfort her.

In order to show his closeness to the people, Ted stretched out his right hand and smiled and motioned to the frightened girl in front of him to sit down: "You should be the representative, don't be restrained, please sit..."

"Thank you, sir!" The girl did not rush to sit down, but intended to kneel on the ground and kowtow.

Ted anticipated this move, walked out of the office area quickly, and reached out his hands in time to stop the thin moon elf, and motioned for her to sit down: "... It doesn't have to be so, slavery has been abolished for nearly 10,000 years in our empire, and you don't have to kneel when you see anyone in the future! You are not slaves. ”

The moon elf was flattered and sat on the chair uneasily, for fear that he would stain such a clean chair, but he just leaned on the corner of the chair, clasped his hands together to protect his chest, and did not really sit down.

Before Ted could speak, the girl opened her mouth and began to recite the lines that her people had taught her: "Thank you, my lord, for taking us in, please let us work..."

Ted didn't respond to the Moon Elf's request, but smiled and introduced himself, "I'm Ted Herrington, Lord of Valentine, what's your name?" ”

This sudden gentleness calmed down a little flustered, and the girl put down the hands that were protecting her chest and put them on her lap: "Lord Hui, my name is Alice, I am 19 years old this year, and the people chose me because I am beautiful... You can serve..."

"Okay, wait for me, I'll see your specific information first..."Ted awkwardly returned to his seat, opened the list book, and flipped through the pages one by one...

He didn't mean to interrupt the girl in front of him, and he didn't want her to be nervous...

He probably guessed what the group meant... The person named Alice in front of him was obviously a 'gift' prepared by this group of moon elves to please themselves.

Ted is really a little depressed, why would the same thing happen if he changed races?

The first thing to do when you meet, no matter what the final result is, send a beautiful woman over first?

Does he really look like rhodium, cesium, and beryllium? Could it be? Need to grow a beard? So does that look serious?

Even if you have plans to find a moon elf girl as your daughter-in-law, you have to wait!

Ted complained in his heart as he flipped through...

After a few minutes, he closed the notebook and looked at the soft girl in front of him with a slight frown.

After a brief look at the information, Ted was dumbfounded, there are not too many refugees, but most of them are women! This was very puzzling to Ted: "Hmm... There are 5,200 of you who came, but only 200 men, why? ”

Valentine does have an imbalance between men and women, with far more men than women...

It's just that... The Moon Elves have no connection with humans, except for being talking humanoids, and there is reproductive isolation, and this population cannot alleviate the 'singles crisis' in the city

These questions were somewhat unexpected by Alice, and according to the Moon Elf's guess script, Lord Ted should now be entangled with himself instead of asking questions...

Things didn't go according to the clansmen's thoughts, but they could only be hardened: "Lord Hui, the male of our moon elves will be taken away by the high elves since birth and reduced to the food of the high elves..."

Hearing the 'food' Ted's eyes widened, and his pupils were filled with disbelief: "Huh? You guys... Eat the same kind? ”

"No... My lord, the High Elves will imprison them, tie them to a mana extractor, and use the excellent magic power of the male moon elves to increase their magic level..."

Ted almost dropped his jaw in fright... After adjusting his emotions, he then asked, "So, you know magic?" ”

"Yes, my lord, but we have been locked by the magic confinement circle, and there is no way to use it..."After speaking, Alice pointed to the lock on her chest and continued in a low voice, "These locks were tortured to us by the High Elves when we were slaves..."

"Hmm—" Ted frowned, staring at the strange lock...

Unlike traditional locks, this type of lock doesn't have a keyhole, and not only that, but Ted can also see bursts of blue light spilling out of it... The same goes for bracelets and anklets.

Although I don't know the principle, I can guess a rough idea by guessing with my brain, either by a curse or by a magic circle! Anyway, I don't know anything about this thing!

It's just that... These things don't look as strong as they seem, and they should be easily broken, so why don't they do it?

"Why don't you take these chains off? Don't tell me you've climbed over the snowy mountains and come here with these things? ”

Alice took a deep breath, as if to clear some of her thoughts, and after five seconds, she pursed her rough lips and slowly explained, "My lord, let's talk about the second question first... We came through a cave, and there was an old tunnel to the north that connected the east and west of the continent, but when we came over, the tunnel collapsed... Fortunately, everyone escaped safely..."

"We can't take off these chains you said, because we have a special physique, as long as we have the slightest idea of wanting to get rid of the shackles of ourselves or others, we will..."

Multiply. Multiply.. Multiply...

"Ah!!h

The next moment, Alice's body was covered by the arc of electricity emitted by the collar, and no matter how much she stopped it, it was useless, so she had to let the electric shock pierce her fragile skin, causing one shocking scar after another.

She lay on the ground in agony, wailing helplessly, her eyes full of fear, like years of lingering nightmares, like demons ravaging her broken heart...

"Help!" Tears spilled on the ground, and in just a few seconds, the eyes turned red, and the muscles all over the body hardened, as if the magic of the storm would swallow the fragile girl in front of her at any time!

"Alice!" Ted tried to reach out to save her, but the strange tool was not an ornament, and the moment he touched it, it bounced him aside!

Multiply!!! Multiply!! Multiply!

The current gradually weakened, and her body gradually regained consciousness, she hugged her body, curled up on the ground and cried, pressing the blood stains to try to relieve the pain...

It seems that this is not the first time she has been tortured...

The strong current that had just been released made her completely incontinent, foaming at the mouth and making it difficult to breathe... Convulsions of the fragile body desperately struggling...

And such torture lasted a whole minute ...

Now, Ted's office was in a mess, but he didn't have time to deal with it, and immediately knocked on his head: "System! Give me a way! ”

"Ding!"

[Magic Chain Detected, Do You Want to Unlock It?] 】

"Yes!"

[This magic chain is ineffective against humans, because humans do not have 'magical power', and only need to be cut with human tools when 'punishment' is not activated...]

"That's right..."Ted took off his robe, put it on Alice's body, reached out and took out a jar of Kole and put it on the table, put her on the chair and straightened it, and whispered softly in her ear: "You stay here, don't go anywhere, I'll be back in a while~"

This curse shackle is like a Windows virus, which does a lot of damage to the Windows system, but it makes no sense to put it into the Linux system~

Right now! Ted is that Linux~

During this period, the student who held the vice a few days ago came to mind, and as long as he held the vice with a little force, this thing was scrapped.

"It seems... It's a good thing to have no magic, and if someone else had been playing this thing for decades, I'd have collapsed! ”

Arriving at the workshop, Ted took two vices from among the many tools.

"I'll take two vices!"

"No problem, my lord, take whatever you want!" The mechanical man looked up, glanced at Ted, and then lowered his head again to continue studying.

In the distance, the open space of the workshop is already full of building materials used as greenhouses, and listening to the sound from upstairs, it seems that the new lathe is also being used...

Just as he was about to leave, a familiar voice came again: "My lord! ”

"Is there something wrong?"

"Do you still have a car? I want to dismantle the practice hands! ”

Ted froze, then turned back to the mechanical man and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"My name is Thomas, sir..."

"Well, okay, Thomas, I don't have a car right now, but I have a task for you!"

"Yes! My lord! Thomas put down the book in his hand and stood up for Ted's order.

Ted put down the vice in his hand, flipped the book Thomas was reading to the next page, and pointed to the pattern on it: "I need a slightly larger truck, can you build it?" ”

"It's... My lord... It's going to take a little while. "Thomas grimaced...

"Is half a year enough?"

Hearing 'half a year' Thomas was overjoyed, picked up a wrench and spun it around in the air, and said with a smile: "My lord, three months is enough!" My friends and I have come up with a diesel engine, which is... There's still a little bit of a problem...

When it is opened, it will burst the cylinder every once in a while, and it often leaks oil and then disintegrates freely, if it is not used properly... will explode... But don't worry, adults! We are improving...! ”

This answer made Ted sigh in his heart: "Sure enough, those who can read and write in ancient times are immortal IQs!" It's only been a few days... Just make a sample that works! ”

"Then it's up to you!" Ted smiled and left with a vice... After all, there is still someone waiting to rescue him!

The 'Academy' doesn't need to be there in person, Ted doesn't need to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf, how does a layman have the qualifications to question professionals?

About this duration... Ted didn't care, after all, everyone blew it when they were young, 'going to Harvard in the future'

It's just that... The results are all tragic, so there is no need to criticize them for bragging that 'you can build an engine in 3 months', and now it is very good to build a framework that can make do with it!

...

20 minutes later, Ted returned to his office, quietly opened the door, poked out half of his head first, and after confirming that Alice was in place, he said with a smile: "Alice, close your eyes first, and then don't open your eyes no matter what happens, and your mind must be empty~ Can you do it?" ”

If it is said that just a little thought will trigger torture, then the best way~ is not to let her know!

At this moment, Alice was even more nervous than before, and the office was in a mess by her, and the lord did not punish her for it, which made her even more afraid!

In a panic, she squeezed out a tear: "Okay lord! Please be light, I'm still a @#..."

Ted: "..."

Before he had time to complain, Ted took out a vise, quietly walked over to Alice, reached out and gently tugged at the lock around her neck, and clamped it with a vice...

"Ahh

She has never been punished, she has always been a submissive slave, and she has never disobeyed the orders of her slave master... But she saw with her own eyes what it was like to be punished...

Ted was speechless, sad and angry, angry at what had happened to these lovely creatures!

Adjusting his tone, he used the gentleness of today's time to softly soothe: "Don't be afraid, I won't punish you, close your mouth and empty your mind..."

"Okay... My lord..."Alice still can't empty her mind... Her mind kept thinking about the mess: "Did I not satisfy the adults?" Adults want to behead me with a knife? It's all my fault for soiling the adult's carpet... Woooooo

In the next moment, Ted's waist and horse were united, and the strength of his whole body was gathered on the two power arms!

"Hey!"

There was a crisp 'click' sound, and the chains were cut! Lose the mana loop! Expire immediately! Doesn't work...

After the chains around his neck failed, the rings on his limbs also shattered, and they fell to the ground with a crisp metallic sound...

"Huh?"

At this moment, Alice only felt that she could once again feel the natural breath of her childhood...

Once, she ran freely in the sun... Frolicking by the pond with the sister next door... Now even the feeling of soaking your feet in the cool spring water and being kissed by passing fish has come back...

The corners of Alice's eyes moistened... She thought she had come to heaven.

"Alice, are you alright?"

"This feeling..."Alice opened her eyes suddenly, only to find the chains that had fallen to the ground and had long been broken...

She's alive!

Ted put down the vice, smiled and stretched out his big hand, using the residual warmth of his palm to gently wipe away her tears: "Alice, you are free..."

"I... Free? Alice froze in place, she could clearly feel that the magic filled her body again, and her skin turned lilac! Under the refraction of light, it shines with the brilliance of crystal!

The shriveled pupils are moistened by magic, and the dull eyes return to their former colors...

"This..."

With a "wow", Alice lost all her strength and collapsed in Ted's arms and cried...

Ted didn't care about the girl's unbathed and somewhat dirty body, he didn't push it away, but opened his chest and gave the poor girl a safe hug.

The girl in his arms aroused his desire to protect, and at this moment, Ted couldn't help but secretly swear: "Hey... Such a poor young lady, be my daughter-in-law... I'll be nice to you later... Well! ”

This voice also attracted Mia and the housekeeper who were eating melons!
