But there are also a very small number of slaves who believe that behind the White Mist Forest is a peaceful, peaceful and free paradise.
Asai, her brother and the remaining slaves actually preferred the former.
It's just that compared to the devil's land where they can't return, the chasing soldiers behind them, and the terrible punishment of the slave owners, they are even more frightened.
Therefore, a group of six people resolutely stepped into the white mist.
It can be said that the Forbidden Land is so thick that you can't even see the trees in front of you. It's covered in thick white mist.Such an environment is no better than deep darkness.
What's even more terrifying is that this forest is in absolute silence.The sound seemed to be restrained by the white mist, and he could only hear his own breathing, but the shouts of his surrounding companions could not be heard at all.
Asai was held tightly by his brother's little hand. They had only entered the forest for a few minutes before they became separated from the rest of their companions.
There is no reference to identify the direction here, and the sky and the earth are shrouded in white mist.They have been moving in a certain direction, but they are not sure whether they are going straight.
As time went by, the body that was already exhausted from running all the way became even weaker.The combination of hunger and thirst caused Asai to constantly lick his dry lips.
This white mist forest seemed to be a dead zone, and no creatures were encountered along the way.
But this situation is even more desperate than the ferocious beasts running rampant in the forest.
Just as they were walking all the way, I don't know how long they walked, when Asai's consciousness began to feel a little trance, the white mist suddenly cleared.
The scenery in front of them suddenly opened up, and a lush forest appeared in front of them.
Asai's brother's eyes widened, and his thin body trembled slightly.
There is a legend among a few slaves that there is a peaceful and free land behind the White Mist Forest.
The legend is true!
Just when Brother Asai was extremely excited, there was a rustling sound in the low bushes.
A group of green-skinned creatures that resembled the legendary evil goblins surrounded them.
Before Brother Asai could react, a monster holding a rough stone ax rushed in front of him and hit his calf hard.
Accompanied by the sound of bones breaking, Asai's brother fell to his knees on the ground while wailing.His right leg lost the support of his bones and drooped softly.
Asai was so frightened by this scene that he did not dare to move at all.
In the end, the two of them were brought into their tribe by this group of monsters.
Asai's brother died that night.
Outside the simple barn, Asai saw with his own eyes that the group of monsters threw his brother to the ground.A green-skinned monster rode on his brother's back, lifted a stone and hit his head hard.
Pink liquid overflowed, and the monster lay on the ground licking the liquid.Then he took out a stone blade and a stone ax and cut his dead brother into pieces.
The green-skinned monster did not kill Asai. It seemed that he felt that Asai was still too thin and needed to be raised for a while.
That night, Asai was given a bowl of broth with black worms floating on the turbid surface.
For slaves, food such as broth can only be enjoyed during major celebrations in the City of White Stone.For Asai, it was the happiest day of the year.
But at this moment, the happiness and happiness had nothing to do with Asai, only a strong feeling of vomiting and confusion.
After that day, in the dark, damp and dirty barn, Asai felt something was wrong with his body.Her body became very hot and her consciousness was blurred, as if she was about to leave her body.
Various strange and bizarre influences appeared before her eyes, and she heard the cry of the green-skinned monster.
The screams of these green-skinned monsters were sharp and unpleasant. When the green-skinned monsters caught Asai, they made such a cry, which seemed to express their joy.
But the cries that Asai heard now were more like howls of fear, pain and despair.
When the green-skinned wail slowly subsided, Asai felt a coolness. This coolness relieved the heat in her body and made her feel extremely peaceful.
All the strange and strange sights in front of him disappeared, and Asai seemed to have returned to his childhood before he could remember anything, when he slept peacefully in a warm swaddling clothes.
When Asai opened his eyes again, he found himself in a bright room, lying on a soft bed with a warm quilt wrapped around him.
There is a pottery vase on the cabinet next to the bed, with bright flowers in it.
Asai got up from the bed in confusion and looked at the bright and exquisite room he was in.
She had heard slaves in the inner city of White Stone say that the houses where freedmen and nobles lived were completely different from the damp and crude courtyards where they lived together. They were like a bright paradise in comparison.
Just like here.
Asai got off the bed and came to the window. Looking out, she saw a wide courtyard.Various flowers bloom in the courtyard, and lifelike and exquisite stone carvings can be seen on the cobblestone paths.
Looking further into the distance, she could see the orderly and exquisite town streets.
There was a sound of the door being opened behind him, and Asai was startled.
A young woman walked into the room and showed a surprised expression when she saw Asai's awakening.
Asai was extremely frightened and immediately fell to the ground.
Chapter 38 Asai
Xi'an, the White Stone City, divides human beings into two completely different groups in terms of slaves and free people.
Freedmen lived in beautiful buildings made of white stone.The slaves were crowded into a simple courtyard built with black stones in the outer city.
Even the servile slaves who served the freedmen lived outside the house in shacks specially prepared for slaves.In short, every aspect distinguished slaves from freemen.
In Asai's eyes, such a room was the residence and bedroom of a free citizen or even a noble in the city.
Being in this room was undoubtedly a violation of the law.
All she could do was kneel on the ground and beg her master for forgiveness.
Seeing Asai kneeling down, the maid in the Lord's Mansion was also startled.
The girl was thin and her appearance covered with whip marks made people feel distressed.In addition, this is a guest that the lord brought back and asked them to take good care of, so the maids did not dare to show any slights.
The maid quickly helped the girl onto the chair.
Asai had just woken up, and his legs and feet felt weak after being frightened like this, so he let the maid support him.
The maid told Asai to wait in the room, and then quickly walked out of the room to report the situation to Kazama.
Asai couldn't understand the maid's language, but he could guess that she wanted her to stay in the room.
Asai sat on the chair and did not dare to move, feeling very uneasy.
She didn't know where this place was, or how she got here.
The scene of being captured by the greenskins and his brother dying tragically in front of his eyes is still vivid in his mind.Asai's face couldn't help but turn a little pale.
When Asai was panicking and confused about his future fate, the departing maid returned to the room again, holding a brand new robe in her hand.
The maid put a new robe on Asai with a smile.
Only then did Asai realize that the undershirt he was originally wearing had been replaced, and he didn't know where the old and dirty undershirt was.
Slaves have no property of their own; even the clothes they wear belong to their master.
Seeing Asai staring blankly at the clothes she was changing into, the maid smiled slightly, as if she guessed what she was thinking.
She said softly: "The dress you wore before was too tattered. Even if you want to mend it, it will be useless. Don't wear that dress."
"Master Kazama ordered me to take you to dinner first, and then I will meet you in the study."
Asai naturally didn't understand, but the maid held her hand and took her out of the room.Asai did not dare to resist and could only follow.
Walk out of the room and step onto the corridor. It is a transparent corridor with windows on both sides. Golden sunlight shines through it. There are potted plants and sculptures in the corridor.
Arriving at the end of the corridor, stepping down the rotating stone steps, Asai came to the hall. The tall vertical pillars supported the entire hall. Looking up at the dome, you can still see the reliefs on the dome, which look thick and thick. atmosphere.
The maid led Asai through the hall of the Lord's Mansion and came to a side room.
There are tables and chairs in the room, and steaming food is placed on the wooden table.Although it was simple wheat porridge and baked white bread, Asai couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he sat down at the table and looked at these foods.
"Please use it..."
The maid sat beside Asai and said with a smile as she saw that even though Asai was hungry, he still didn't dare to pick up the spoon.
Afraid that Asai wouldn't understand, she pointed at the food and made an 'eat' gesture.
Asai hesitated for a moment, then carefully reached out her hand to the warm white bread. She felt the soft and oily touch, which was completely different from the black bread that the slave ate, which was not much different from the hardness of a stone.
Asai looked at the maid secretly and found that the maid was looking at her, not scolding her, but with an encouraging smile.
Asai picked up the bread, put it in her mouth, and took a bite. The soft touch and rich wheat aroma made her chew faster.
She choked on her rapid swallowing, and quickly took a sip of the warm wheat porridge with a spoon.
Soon both the wheat porridge and the bread on the plate entered Asai's stomach.
The maid took out a handkerchief from her arms and wiped the food from Asai's mouth, and said:
"Master Hohenheim said that your body still needs to be nursed back to health. It is best to eat in moderation after waking up, not too much."
"Let's go, Mr. Kazama is still waiting to receive you in the study."
The maid took Asai out of the dining room, back to the glorious hall of the lord's palace, up the spiral staircase on the other side, and finally brought her to a room.
The floor of the room was covered with a full beast pelt as a rug, flanked by huge bookshelves.The shelves are filled with books.
In front of the bookshelves on both sides are thick and smooth desks, and sitting on the chair is a young man with black hair and black eyes.
Standing next to the young man were two people, one of whom was wearing leather armor and had dark skin, and was a man with a hearty smile.
The other one was wearing a white robe, with long braided hair hanging in front of her shoulders, looking very gentle.
The maid led Asai into the study and then left, leaving Asai, who was used to maids, at a loss.
She looked at the three people in the room tremblingly, especially the handsome black-haired young man in the middle.
There was no expression on the young man's face, but it was not a straight face, but a very indifferent expression.
Asai could feel an unusual temperament from the three of them. It was a temperament that definitely did not belong to slaves, and even Asai's master, the lower noble of Xi'an, did not possess it.
It has been engraved in Asai's bones since she was born, and her slave instinct made her kneel on the ground subconsciously.
But she couldn't kneel down, and an invisible gentle wind lifted her body.
.........
Looking at the thin and dark girl, Kazama could feel her fear.
Part of this fear comes from the girl's previous experience in the Goblin tribe.Hohenheim searched for souls among the captive goblins, and there was an adult man walking out of the misty forest with the girl.It was just cooked and eaten by goblins.
Another kind of fear comes from waking up here and facing yourself and the humans in the town.
This fear does not come from fear of humans, but from the fear of one's own slave status.
"Hohenheim..."
Kazama looked at Dou Dad, who nodded slightly.
Kazama knows nothing about the language system of local human civilization, but communication does not necessarily rely on language.
The superiority of magic is reflected in its ability to accomplish many effects that cannot be achieved by normal means.
Hohenheim came to Aser's side and stretched out his hand.
In his palm, a white point of light was dancing.
"Don't be afraid, kid..."
Hohenheim said gently.
"Grab it."
Chapter 39 Slave City-State
Hohenheim's voice seemed to have a strange magic power, soothing Ase's uneasy heart.
Asai subconsciously raised his hand and placed his hand on Hohenheim's outstretched palm.
Atherton felt her thoughts wandering, her soul seemed to be leaving her body, and a warm soul intervened in her thoughts.
Since birth, everything he has experienced and seen has been flowing rapidly in his mind, and the long river of memories has been mobilized for Hohenheim to browse.
After a long period of time, Hohenheim, who was standing next to Aser with his eyes closed and silent, slowly opened his eyes.
Also opening his eyes with him was Asai.
Asai gasped for breath, and memories flowed upstream in his mind. Many painful memories came to his mind. This was not an enjoyable thing.
"poor child..."
