Chapter.34 Lurin’s grocery shopping

The guard warrior frowned at that tense look.

Moreover, the more I deal with this woman, the more I feel a great sense of fear creeping into me.

Since my body was strangely stiff, I just scolded myself and swung my sword, asking what I was doing to this woman.

“Huh? I haven’t applied all the lip balm yet! I’m still not used to applying it alone! Annoying!”

Kwaang-!

As soon as Lurin shouted, the space where the guard warrior was standing disappeared.

Of course, the guard was gone.

Intense energy surrounded the guard, and the condensed explosion exploded in the sky.

Upon seeing this, Melchak sat down, wondering if this was a dream or reality.

“Who hired who? I am 10 times that... “No, I’ll give you 100 times that.”

Melchak’s words didn’t even reach Lulin’s ears. Just as the cries of cockroaches cannot be heard by human ears.

However, I was a little interested in the sumptuous feast served inside the building.

“Hoo, is this delicious?”

Melchak nodded his head.

“Yam is delicious! So, eat as much as you want, and we can even give you 100 times the salary!”

Lurin happened to be hungry, so she approached the plentiful feast.

“This is called Palenque, which is popular here these days. Grilled Palenque!”

However, Lurin just spat out the roasted Palanque that she had bitten into.

“not delicious.”

Then he took the tasteless Palenque and stuffed the head into the man’s mouth.

“By the way, who killed Celie’s parents?”

“I don’t know what that means.”

“Are you the leader here?”

“no. “That dead guy over there is the leader.”

“Hmm, is that so?”

“yes yes!”

“I am.”

“yes?”

“I hate lies like that. Did you understand?”

“I am the leader!”

“Then where are those captured guys?”

“That’s in the underground water reservoir outside...” .”

“I see, but even if I’m not lying, I hate humans. “I only like El.”

“What... !”

“Hehehe.”

Lulin spun around on the spot and snapped his fingers.

And came out.

Are you just going? Melchak thought so.

About a second later, Melchak and the building exploded.

***

“Did you destroy everything?”

“Did you do well? Hi-Hi.”

Rurin ran towards El and stuck her head in. It’s a cry to be petted. El understood right away and gently patted Rurin’s head.

“What about the people who are being held captive? “You didn’t destroy it that far, right?”

“you. There’s no way I could make that mistake since you told me to do it. “Follow me!”

“okay? “What’s going on?”

Immediately, El followed Lulin. I covered Sally’s eyes just in case.

And soon we were greeted by a group of people being held in an underground water storage facility.

The women were just shaking. It’s not just women. Men and young boys and girls.

Among them, some had wounds here and there and were in terrible shape.

L asked those people quietly.

“Who is Mel B’s younger brother?”

But no answer comes back. The captured people just looked at El with wary eyes.

“I am the person who came at Mel B’s request. “I’m not trying to do anything bad.”

As El spoke softly again, a girl behind her raised her hand hesitantly and cautiously.

“Oh brother, is it a favor?”

The girl answered with a very intimidated expression, shivering just like the other girls.

El nodded immediately. Fortunately, he was alive.

And they immediately released the people. I’m sorry, but the Gray boy will have to clean up after this.

L was thinking something like that.

Then, Celie watched quietly and held Lulin’s hand.

“sister.”

“Why are you calling me? “It’s not your sister, it’s the master!”

“thank you.”

“Thank you? Well, since he is subordinate number 2, it is natural. “Push me further towards El in the future.”

She wandered the streets and was immediately caught by a slave trader who took pictures of her.

Although the safety of Gray City is good, it does not mean that safety is good everywhere on the streets of the Empire.

After the Dragon War, the scars of the war still remained everywhere, and the political world was still in turmoil due to the fight between the three dukes.

In such a situation, freedom could not exist in the end for a girl who looked like she had been abandoned.

The slave trade that was captured like that.

The slave trade was a large organization that roamed not only the empire but also the kingdom and other empires.

And since I was gathering people to hold a big auction in the empire, I was fortunate enough to be stuck without any problems for now.

Then Celie met Mellie.

A child in the same situation.

At first glance, Celie looked young, but she was actually older, and when she explained that, Mellie immediately called Celie her sister.

“Sister, we have similar names. So, if you escape from here, you will do well. right?”

Mellie followed Celie as she said that.

“Sister, this is it.”

“What is it?”

“It’s a sweet potato. I hid it, but it wasn’t taken away. let’s eat together. sister.”

And the sweet potatoes that were given to Mellie the day she was first captured gave her a huge shock.

It was a shock of warmth that I had never felt in my life.

Being close to Mellie, Celie felt warmth for the first time in her life.

“sister. My brother will come to the rescue. please... Even if I die, I will die believing that. I will definitely ask you to save my sister too. If we go out... .”

“okay?”

On the other hand, Celie was just jealous that there was someone who could save her and think like that.

I have nothing on my own.

He was the kind of person who didn’t even have the freedom to live in this world.

However, throughout the months of travel, Mellie, who was naturally bright and lived a normal life before her mother’s mistake, became like a lighthouse to Celie.

It taught me about the outside world and allowed me to dream.

I was grateful that she always called me “unnie,” and I even started to think that I wanted to be cute and call someone “unni.”

But Sally’s happiness didn’t last long.

Even that short period of happiness in the camp was not allowed to be felt for a long time.

While Mellie was sleeping peacefully next to her, Sally overheard the guards passing by and was shocked.

“One person will be sold in this room tomorrow, so get them ready. “Don’t feed it anything.”

“okay?”

“Oh, there’s that bright kid. “Kid number 2.”

“Has it been decided on him?”

“Well, I was going to leave it until the auction, but I guess I can’t help it since I need Clint.”

“Right.”

After hearing that conversation, Celie looked down at Mellie.

I do not know well but.

At least if you’re stuck here, you can buy some time. Even that is for a limited time.

However, for some reason, I felt that if I were to be taken by the Clint that the guards were talking about, I might end up in a miserable situation.

Just like what happened to me in the lab.

The number written on his clothes is 1.

And Mellie’s clothes had the number 2 written on them. Celie quietly looked at Mellie.

-Your brother will come to save you. Let’s be happy together like sister.

The words Mellie always said began to ring in my ears.

There is someone who will come to the rescue. I don’t know if that will really come true.

Anyway, Mellie was a child with hope.

Sally hoped that that hope would come true. I have nothing anyway.

Even if I leave here, I won’t be able to do anything without Mellie.

A life without anything anyway.

I hope you are the only one who gets harmed.

Mellie really wanted to get out of this hell.

It’s not something you can save.

But still, I hoped that her brother was such a great person that he would save her.

What Mellie gave her was big. It was great happiness.

That was probably the only happiness in my life.

If so, now it’s your turn to give it back.

If she leaves here instead, Mellie will be able to buy time until the big auction.

Celie thought so and changed clothes with Mellie, who was soundly asleep.

Anyway, people here don’t remember each child’s face and name. Since it’s just a product, the only way to distinguish it is by number.

Although it was said that he was a bright child.

All you have to do is postpone it.

She was now product number 2, Mellie.

And Celie died after being abused at the place where she was sold instead of Mellie.

It was that kind of end.

That was the end that Mellie should have faced.

Celie was wrapped in mud and abandoned on a dark mountain path.

And next to the mountain path where she was abandoned, the Hibiren flower, which even elves who love nature and live in the forest have difficulty meeting once in their lifetime, was glowing faintly.
