Blood Dragon

"Consignment? Me?" Leia asked in surprise.She unconsciously looked at Fei not far away.The latter seemed to ignore her completely.

"Yes, because of this job, you are the most suitable candidate. It should be said that this is also the job assigned by the master." The metal ball said. "So I hope you can agree." It has noticed the hesitation in Leiya's eyes. "As for Miss Fei, she will cooperate with you to complete this work."

"Cooperate?..." Leiya glanced at Fei again.Of course, Fei's demeanor didn't change at all.She didn't even seem to hear the conversation between Leia and Carrie at all, her eyes were only looking in front of her, and her mouth kept moving. "What the hell is it?" She has lost the ability to see the thread of fate, so what else can she do?

"It's like this. On the lower floor of the castle, there are a dozen girls locked up." Carrie—that is, the metal ball—said in a soft and calm tone. "They are all female slaves, and they were given to the master. In fact, the intention of them being sent here is to allow the master to enjoy their bodies and blood at will, but the master does not want to hurt them at present. However, due to other reasons, the master cannot Just let them leave like this. So he can only temporarily lock them up in the lower level of the castle."

"However, something unexpected happened. A few days ago, that is, a few days before the master came back, one of them hurt herself with a sharp weapon. If she hadn't discovered it early, she would have died like this. So The master believes that if the prison continues like this, such things may happen more and more. He doesn't want to see this kind of thing continue to happen, so I hope you can solve this problem."

"So...then...what can I do? How should I do it?"

"You're in charge of them..." answered Carrie. "The reason why this kind of thing happened is that they have been imprisoned for too long. Due to the long-term captivity, they lack communication with the outside world, so their anxiety and fear are finally beyond their sanity. They are facing death when their mental state is not normal. Seeking relief from the pain. In order for this kind of thing not to happen again, the owner believes that they must be released. Give them the opportunity to communicate with others."

"Management? But I..." She had never held any position, in fact she had never done any work except divination.Leiya looked at Fei again, who still ignored her.

"Please don't think too hard. In fact, everything will be very simple. It just needs you...to lead them to do some ordinary things. Something suitable for a group to do together...Well, I think learning is very good."

"study?"

"Well, learning to read and write the Common Tongue. But other things are fine too. Like tidying up and stuff like that."

While reading and writing are not rare skills, they are easy to learn.But in reality, very few of the common people could read and write.Even among the nobility, a considerable portion could neither read nor write.From this point of view, those girls should also be this type.

"But I... can't." Leya herself had just recovered her eyesight, and of course she couldn't read a single word.

"Then just take this opportunity to study together. You know, reading and writing are indispensable skills for being a hostess."

There was a very crisp sound not far away, and Leia couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound, but what she saw was that Fei put the wine glass on the table forcefully, but the excessive force caused the glass to break.

"Is there a problem?" Carrie ignored Fei and continued to ask.

"I think, I can give it a try. However, I can ask, what does His Excellency the Duke want...to treat those girls?"

"Actually he just wanted to shut them up for a few years," answered Carrie. "He has his own reasons for doing this. Since you agreed, I'll take you there after dinner. You need to understand the situation first."

For some reason, Leia intuitively knew that this "study" plan was not Carrie's random suggestion.

"If you want to learn to read and write, you should need a teacher? Who will be in charge of teaching?"

"Of course it's me." This time, Fei replied in a cold voice. "It's so pitiful, I finally got my eyesight, but I'm still blind." Although she answered, her eyes didn't look over. "It even requires a female orangutan who came out of the jungle to be in charge of teaching."

As expected, this woman is still holding grudges... Leya swallowed forcefully, and she felt a tingle in her back.Did you scold too much last night?But at that time, the anger was indeed on the rise, and he no longer cared about keeping some morals.

Thinking of what Fei did before, she felt a wave of fear again.I'm afraid this woman will definitely find a chance to retaliate.

Carrie's "send over" is a real "send".Leya put her hand on the metal ball, and she immediately felt her footsteps fluttering, and she felt a weightless feeling of falling from the air.She lowered her head, only to realize that she was floating, as if she had lost weight.The metal ball looked round and round, but there was a sticky force on it that came from nowhere, sticking to her hand.Since her body is suspended and she loses weight, she is easily carried in the air to fly.

The last time Leia touched it, she didn't feel anything other than metal.So she judged that this metal ball called "Carrie" could control this sticky force at will.

Although this feeling is strange, it does not make people feel uneasy.Because the height of Carrie's levitation is very low, barely reaching the level where Leia's feet are off the ground.

"Miss Fei, come with me." Carrie floated to Fei's side and said.After Fei finished eating just now, she had been sitting there without moving. Now that she heard Carrie's request, she reluctantly put her hand on the metal ball as well.But she deliberately put her hand in the position farthest from Leia's hand.

"Okay, I'll take you there." Carrie said, and began to float quickly.

"Wait a minute, why did you go there this way?" Leia asked.She remembered seeing a staircase going down, but she had never been there.

"Because you can't enter with two feet." Fei answered this time, but she didn't look at Leiya when she spoke. "That place is a maze. If you try to go in alone, no matter how you turn, you will turn back to the exit."

Although Fei said so, Leiya didn't feel anything too complicated along the way.There are indeed intersections that look similar, the first intersection is right, the second intersection is left, just these two turns, and they go to the next level.

The situation on the next floor is far from as bad as expected.Leia thought she would see a dungeon, but instead she saw a row of dormitories.There is a room outside with the door open, and you can see that the room is spacious and bright, and all kinds of basic furniture are available.

"Why is there such a place?" Leia asked.

"The design itself must take this need into account," replied Carrie. "After all, this is a castle where the lord lives. See if the room in front is there, that self-harming girl is there."

At this time, both Leya and Fei have been put down.Leia walked over and immediately found that the door of this room was closed from the outside.It is the kind of lock that has a simple structure, but cannot be opened from the inside.In fact, that's the point where it's like a prison cell.

"Please don't open it, she is emotionally unstable and doesn't know what will happen." Carrie reminded.

Leia hesitated for a moment, but finally opened the door forcefully.

Sitting in the room was a girl with disheveled hair. Like Leia, her hair was light blonde.She is not very old, probably one or two years older than Leiya, but her eyes are full of delirious madness.The girl's hands and feet were not in shackles, but she had a brass collar around her neck—the proof of slavery.

In the human world, slaves are already rare, but it doesn't mean that there are no more slaves.War, crime, and political struggle also produced a small number of slaves, which generally belonged to the state.But there were also some nobles who owned private slaves.

The girl stared at the person who opened the door, the madness in her eyes fading little by little. "Leiya?" She said softly, as if worried that she had misidentified the person.But right away she was sure she was right. "Leiya? Why are you?" She asked loudly.

Leia recognized the voice.She had heard the voice, and perhaps spoken to her, when she was brought here with the other girls.But her eyes were still blind at the time, so it was the first time she saw each other.And she doesn't remember the other person's name.

"Really you?" The girl walked towards the door.When she walked to the door, she saw Scarlet wearing blood-red armor.

"It's you?" Her expression became very complicated. "Are you coming to kill me? Are the vampires trying to eat me?" Her voice sharpened. "You vampire lackey..."

"Wait a minute!" Leia stepped forward and hugged each other. "Don't be afraid, no one will hurt you. Don't be afraid. The vampire is gone and will not come back."

The other party was shocked, and suddenly, she began to cry.Although she should be older than Leia, but at this moment she cuddled in Leia's arms and cried.

Leia helped her out of the room. "Carrie, would you please open all the rooms?"

The metal sphere floated along the way.Although it has no hands, it can freely manipulate the strange sticky force, so it is very convenient to open the door.Soon, everyone walked out of the room.They gather together, but do not know what happened.But all of them knew that Fei was a servant of the vampire, so they all gathered in a place far away from Fei.

"Everyone." Standing in front of everyone, Leia summoned up her courage and said loudly. "I have something to tell everyone."

This was the first time she did this kind of thing, she clearly felt her feet trembling, and Fei was looking at her coldly from behind.

"I know that everyone is very scared. They are afraid that they will be taken away and killed by vampires. But if you want to leave here alive, you have a chance, the only chance." She looked at everyone. "The vampire wants a group of maids to clean the castle. If everyone accepts this job, then at least we have some use for him, and we won't be sucked by him like this."

She knew that she was lying, but there was no shame or heat on her face because of lying, she only felt her back sweating from tension.

"Vampires have no interest in girls over 17. If we could be more useful, we could last a few years and get out of here alive." She remembers the rumors that they were sent to Vampire's.

There should be no problem, Leia thought in her heart.Her body was stiff, but her mind seemed clearer.All girls have no second choice.The truth is too hard to believe, so it takes one lie to convince them to come out of the cage, and another lie to convince them that they won't be hurt.
