"My sister and I weren't slaves two days ago..."
A girl named Bernie took Lily and hid on the street.
Bernie is much more agile and faster than Lily.
Lily, who was completely treated as a radar...only felt her arm being pulled and hurting.
Although Bernie was busy hiding, she didn't notice the glittering look of endurance in Lily's eyes.
There weren't many men looking for Bernie, but maybe it was because she had exposed herself before - they were always surrounding her.
"This way."
The two could hardly move.
In fact, Lily knew why. But Lily thought that it might be more convenient to rush out and knock a few people down, but the girl tried her best to avoid fighting.
Lily could only stare at the rope around Bernie's ankles in a daze.
Wouldn't it be better to give a reminder?
197. Abnormal blood taste
But Bernie never gave Lily a chance to remind her.
Lily could only hold on and yawn continuously.
Finally, Lily forced herself to drive away the sleepiness and spoke:
"Um, the ankle..."
"Hide over here." Bernie pulled Lily into a corner and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lily, who was interrupted, felt a little aggrieved. She pointed at Bernie's ankle and said, "The rope at the ankle..."
"That can't be taken off." Bernie pulled Lily up:
"Hurry up. If it's too late, I don't know where they will take my sister..."
"Whoa whoa……"
Ran for a while.
"Ankle..."
"I'll tell you later. Hey... why are they always turning around..."
Lily still couldn't finish her words.
Lily felt even more aggrieved.
After stopping again, Lily was finally able to speak:
"They seem to be chasing something on your feet..."
"Huh?" Bernie was stunned.
Lily flipped the rope around the other person's ankles.
Wrapped inside are metal wires welded together.
"…So, they have actually been chasing this thing?"
Boni pulled at it. It was only slightly deformed, but she couldn't tear it apart.
I tried to open it when I escaped before, but the metal threads were welded tightly.
Lily nodded. She could sense the marks those people had left on the girl.
Those humans love to do this kind of thing.
However, this device is not expensive and is only used temporarily to prevent escape. The positioning is not clear and the limited distance is very short. It seems that only the approximate range can be known.
But it was also this device that prevented Bernie from getting rid of those men as she tried to get closer to her destination.
"When did you find out-?"
"Open, start..."
"Why didn't you say so earlier..."
Lily felt aggrieved.
After all, Lily, who was constantly interrupted, was the one who suffered the most...
“I don’t blame you, I don’t blame you…” Bernie hurriedly comforted him: “Blame me, blame me…Don’t show that expression…”
Then she asked, "But...is there any way to solve it?"
Lily hesitated for a while, but still carefully placed her little hand on Bernie's ankle.
I don't know what action she made. With a crisp "click", when Lily's hand moved away, the rope wrapped around the metal had already broken.
"...Magic?" Bernie exclaimed: "Magic is so powerful. I wish I had magic power too..."
Leaving the broken wire behind, Bernie continued to pull Lily forward.
Lily was being pulled and felt a little dazed for some reason.
Feeling a little hungry again...
I had just eaten something.
Lily's eyes wandered for a moment, and then they inexplicably focused on the tender neck of the girl in front of her...
Although it's a bit dirty...it exudes the smell of vitality.
My teeth are a little itchy.
I couldn't control my steps and slowly approached...
Until Bernie in front pulled Lily's arm again: "What's wrong? You don't want to sleep again?"
Lily was startled and quickly calmed herself down.
"Hmm." Lily shook her head.
Finally, he secretly pulled out a long straw from his sleeve.
……
"...Just two days ago. My family left the village, and my parents took us to a foreign country because everyone said that the war was coming. And those landlords and nobles, for some reason, none of them showed up... There were some survivors at home, so my parents took my two younger brothers, my sister and me, packed up our belongings and ran away with the villagers. Only those who couldn't escape were still guarding the landlords' land." Boni continued what she hadn't finished just now:
"On the way, we encountered local gangsters... They arrested me and my sister."
After that, he was kept in a cage and sent here.
Until the girl escaped with the help of her sister - the two were luckily locked in the same cage.
"My parents...should be fine...but my sister and I..." Bernie said sadly, "In the future, even if we escape, my sister and I will have to depend on each other."
"...?"
"My sister was pushed out by the people in the village." Boni was silent for a long time: "...Me too."
"..."
"Then, my parents ran away from the people in the village. Adults seemed to have no value to those bandits."
The girl's parents had no choice but to stop them from taking their daughter away.
Lily could also feel the girl's sadness. Perhaps their parents had no choice at the time.
But these two girls were undoubtedly betrayed.
Parents are not traitors. Expectations are.
Lily unconsciously tightened Bernie's little hand.
Lily could understand how she felt.
"They also arrested a lot of people my age," the girl said.
"Some of them have been wandering, some have been sold, and some were stopped while escaping... their relatives were killed for protecting them. Maybe I am lucky because my relatives are still alive and well."
Bernie told Lily that those people seemed to have been targeting these underage boys and girls.
Perhaps it was to make a profit from the slave trade... or for some other purpose.
But from the few words the girl learned, they seemed to be more than just a trafficking group located around the capital of Erit.
Their scale is larger than imagined.
One of the companions the girl met on the road was from a neighboring country.
Perhaps there are traces of their activities in other countries as well.
"They said they could sell us today... and that a lot of people would come to bid for us... and so on... and so I thought, can I sneak in... no matter what, I have to rescue my sister... "
No matter how powerful the opponent is, he is an opponent that the girl must face.
"While they were transporting other people, my sister covered me and let me run. I didn't dare look back. I was scared when I heard the noise behind me... Then I kept running towards the light, running and running... They couldn't run faster than me... Finally, I jumped out of the window. Later, I thought of my sister... and couldn't run any further."
So the girl chose to come back.
"Window...?" Lily asked.
"That's it."
Before I knew it, I had walked a long distance.
The girl pointed to a tall window on a building not far away.
It was five stories high - the girl ran up there and then jumped down.
Because even though the girl jumped from such a height, she still seemed unharmed. Lily was a little surprised.
But that’s not the case… The girl can’t escape their pursuit.
“——I escaped from there.”
……
This is the busiest market in Washeng.
