Am I a bad person? They all want to kill me?

Elsa said nothing more and led Mary to the black market in the city.

In the freezing cold of Gustiko, wine is people's life!

Without wine, the cold of Gustiko seeps into people's bones, making the already long hours even more torturous.

And the sherry wine that Mary mentioned... is the exotic wine brought by Viscount Lin. This wine has a slightly sweet taste and is the favorite of children.

However, the production of this kind of wine is not large, and the Gustikos do not like this soft wine. They prefer the vodka and whiskey brought by Viscount Lin.

Therefore, if you want to buy sherry in Gustico, you have to go to the black market. After all... compared to the legitimate trade caravans, the goods on the black market will be more abundant and cheaper.

Of course, there are also many fakes...

............

The black market in the small town is underground. In addition to selling goods of unknown origin, the main business here is slavery.

Yes, slave trade.

Gustico ostensibly prohibited the slave trade, but this prohibition was as ridiculous as Gustico's laws.

"Look at this face, look at this skin, it's a rare and high-quality product, 20 gold coins are really not expensive."

20 gold coins?

Hearing the slave trader's sales pitch, Elsa glanced over subconsciously.

The slave trade in Gustiko was extremely popular, and the prices were very "affordable". An ordinary slave could be bought for one gold coin, which was already a very good and high-quality product. 20 gold coins...could it be a relatively rare demi-human?

Hmm? Not a demi-human? A pure human? And a little girl with black hair and black eyes.

In Gustiko, people with black hair and black eyes are discriminated against. She doesn't know why, but it has been like this since she was a child...

She, who also has black hair and black eyes, has been discriminated against and hated since she was a child. This kind of gaze has never disappeared, and it remains the same even now.

As her thoughts flowed, Elsa unconsciously slowed down her pace and looked carefully at the slave worth 20 gold coins.

The slave was a little girl, about eight or nine years old. She had a magic collar around her neck to restrain slaves, and her hands and feet were also bound with iron chains.

She stayed alone in a cage, with her head lowered, her black eyes, without a trace of impurities, filled with indifference and numbness.

As the slave trader said, the little girl's face was extremely delicate, and her smooth and tender skin was definitely not something that could be created by the wind and snow of Gustiko.

Elsa lowered her head and glanced at the little girl's hands and feet. There were no calluses or wounds on her hands or feet.

A noble? Or the daughter of a wealthy merchant?

After a brief thought, Elsa withdrew her gaze and led Mary deeper into the black market.

"Black hair and black eyes...Based on this alone, she is worth less than 20 gold coins, at most 12 gold coins..."

"Sir, 12 gold coins are not enough. This wild girl is not only beautiful, but also very strong. Take her back and train her. Maybe you can even train her to be a personal bodyguard..."

"Oh? Pretty strong?"

"Yes, when we caught her..."

The sound behind me became farther and farther away until it disappeared.

183. "Bath with Elsa"

Not long after, when Elsa bought what she needed and passed by the slave trader again, the black-haired little girl in the cage had disappeared.

Has it been bought?

Elsa retracted her gaze, and there was not much emotion in her clear black eyes.

That's how it is in Gustiko. Oh, no, that's how it is in this world. Whether it's a kingdom or an empire, such things happen all the time.

............

The so-called "base" is actually just an ordinary residential building.

After dinner, the young Merry went to bed early, while Elsa honed her dual-sword skills in the courtyard.

"kindness?"

Suddenly, Elsa stopped.

She shrugged her nose and her eyes suddenly became sharp.

She smelled the scent of human blood in the snow! And it was very close!

Thinking of this, Elsa flashed and disappeared in the courtyard in an instant.

In the blowing snow, Elsa stood on the roof of a house, silently watching the figure on the street.

"is her?"

Elsa's eyes moved slightly.

On the street covered with a thin layer of snow, a little girl with black hair and black eyes walked forward with a numb expression. In her right hand was a piece of broken glass, and bright red blood flowed along the broken glass, dripping onto the white snow.

This little girl with black hair and black eyes was exactly the slave that was previously sold for 20 gold coins in the black market.

Elsa's nostrils twitched slightly, and she smelled the blood of more than one person from the little girl.

Elsa carefully identified...

3, 4, 5...

Including the little girl's own blood, there were a total of five people's blood.

What did she do?

Elsa was a little curious. She followed the little girl quietly, wanting to see what would happen next.

Elsa followed the little girl out of the town and into a desolate snowfield.

The little girl walked aimlessly in the snow and wind, until one moment, she fell in the snow.

After a long time, Elsa walked on the snow and walked towards the little girl step by step.

"your name?"

Elsa asked condescendingly.

The little girl, whose face had turned purple from the cold, stared at the snowfield with a numb expression, as if she were dead.

Elsa reached out and grabbed the little girl by the scruff of her neck, lifting her up.

However, at this moment, the little girl's right hand holding the broken glass suddenly moved, and then a cold light that could not be described as fast attacked Elsa's neck.

She bent her index finger, flicked the little girl's hand away, and took the broken glass from her hand.

"kindness?"

Looking at the broken glass in her hand, Elsa's expression changed slightly.

This is a piece of glass from a wine bottle, and you can just see the word "snow" on it.

Sherry...

From the familiar font, Elsa determined the original name of the wine.

"Your name will be Shirley from now on."

Elsa looked at the little girl and said with a smile.

"..."

The little girl was silent for a moment, then said in a very hoarse voice: "Rin."

Elsa's smile deepened. "Is this your name? What's your last name?"

“…” The little girl said nothing.

"Haha~"

Elsa smiled and said, "From now on, your last name will be Shirley, Rin Shirley."

After saying that, Elsa held the little girl in her arms and returned to the town at a very fast speed.

Feeling the warmth of Elsa's body, Lin...to be precise, Lin Qing'an finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The script finally worked...

With the help of his dream-making ability, he got a glimpse into Elsa's past.

This is also a poor man...

Because of his black hair and black eyes, he was sold to a slave trader by his biological parents, but fortunately he escaped with other children before being sold.

After that, young Elsa could only make a living by stealing.

When she was 15 years old, she accidentally caught by the shop owner. Just as the shop owner was about to rape her, she picked up a piece of broken wine bottle and cut the shop owner's stomach.

The bright red entrails poured all over Elsa's body. The instant warmth made Elsa intoxicated. In the freezing cold Gustiko, she had never felt such warmth.

Thus, the "Gut Hunter" was born.

She began to crazily pursue other people's internal organs until... one time, she failed again. This time, she became a slave and was shackled and sold.

As a slave, she killed several masters in succession.

Of course, outsiders thought that she was the one who killed him, but in fact she killed him with her own hands.

After several attempts, she was bought by a skilled and courageous puppeteer as experimental material.

The puppeteer cast a spell called "Cursed Doll" on her, causing her to fight with other experimental materials that were also cast with the spell until the final "perfect doll" was obtained.

Elsa had no interest in becoming the "perfect doll", so she killed the puppeteer and then killed the other experimental materials who wanted to attack her.

After doing all this, Elsa chose to escape, and then...she met Capella, the "Lust Archbishop" of the Witch Cult, on the snowy plains...

Capella called herself "Mother" and forcibly regarded Erza as her "daughter".

She is called daughter, but actually she is a subordinate.

Since then, Elsa has joined the "Assassination Organization" established by Capella, obeying her orders and working for her until now.

And the little girl named Merry was also picked up from the forest by Elsa at Capella's request.

Elsa has always taken care of Mellie, and the two can be said to be as close as sisters.

After snooping into Elsa's past, he began to make up a script...

In the previous attempts, he approached Elsa in various identities, including Viscount Lin, a wandering knight, a slave boy, etc., but failed every time.

Helpless, he could only approach Elsa in the identity of a slave girl, and acted out the same scene as she did in the beginning.

At present, the first step of his script has finally been successful, but...

Feeling his own petite body, Lin Qing'an sighed silently in his heart.

Forget it. For the sake of S-level evaluation, this little sacrifice is nothing. Besides, it’s just a role-playing in a dream, and no one else will know...

............

After returning to the "base", Elsa first treated the wound on Lin Qing'an's hand, then boiled a bucket of hot water, stripped Lin Qing'an naked and threw him in.

Then, Elsa stood next to the bathtub and took off her clothes in front of Lin Qing'an.

Lin Qing'an, transformed into a little girl, sat in the bathtub, staring blankly at Elsa stepping into the bathtub naked...
