In a certain small town, there is a high-rise courtyard.
The place is heavily guarded and there are no other residents nearby.
The locals only knew that this was a wealthy and powerful family, but no one had ever seen the owner of the house.
In the dead of night, there are often shrill screams coming from the yard, but because no one has actually entered, there are various versions of the rumors.
Some people say that it is some kind of strange monster. There must be many monsters in captivity in that house, because there is an obvious difference in the shrill screams.
Others said that it was a secret place where prisoners were held, and it must be because of torture that the prisoners screamed like that.
Some people even speculated that there might be a certain magician inside, conducting some kind of experiment.
No matter what the speculation is, it has never been confirmed.
…
"Please be careful and show me how to place your hand. If you make a mistake again, I'll cut it off."
In a certain room in the courtyard, a fierce-looking woman was yelling loudly with a long needle in her hand.
In front of her, there were more than twenty girls, who were practicing massage movements at the moment.
The older ones of these girls are only fourteen or fifteen years old, and the younger ones are only seven or eight years old.
"You bunch of despicable things, if you don't learn from me, I will sell you off today."
The fierce woman has a loud voice, she is like a tigress, and these girls are afraid of her.
Whenever she gets close, the girl's body will tremble nervously.
If something didn't please her eyes, the fierce woman would just prick it with the long needle in her hand.
Snap!
"You're going to die! You can't even do such a simple action."
The fierce woman walked up to a teenage girl and slapped her in the face.
The girl's figure was already thin, and she was knocked to the ground wherever she could withstand it.
But the girl didn't dare to cry. She quickly stood up and practiced the actions just now again.
"Let me tell you, when you get here, don't think about anyone saving you. If you see the body hanging in the crooked tree outside, those are the consequences of disobedience."
The fierce woman circled the room and finally stopped on a well-developed girl.
This girl is not only outstanding in appearance, but she is also very dedicated to her studies. She looks like a good seed that can be cultivated.
If you carefully adjust it for some time, you should be able to sell it at a good price.
Shanna knew that the vicious woman was standing behind her at this moment.
She didn't dare to be careless and performed the newly learned movements without any emotion on her face.
She also resisted in the first few days after she was caught here.
But it's no use.
She was an ordinary farm girl, unable to resist at all.
Whenever she felt lonely and helpless, she would think of the Goblin-sama who once made her feel at ease.
But she was never seen again.
Shanna has already learned to be strong through what she has experienced during this period of time.
Instead of hoping that evil people will show kindness, it is better to fight for the opportunity yourself and wait for the opportunity to escape.
After knowing that the people here wanted to turn them into professionally trained maids, Shanna decided to work hard to cooperate.
Only if you perform well can you avoid being sold out.
Lord Goblin has emphasized many times: Don’t trust Goblins!
Shanna feels that this sentence can also be understood as: Don't trust your enemies!
Shanna also heard that first-class maids have the opportunity to learn some simple magic, because maids who know a little magic will sell for a higher price.
Shanna longs to gain strength, she wants to be that first-class maid.
So, she is different from other girls.
She genuinely wants to learn more.
Even if those things were just techniques to please her future master, she learned them very hard.
Opportunities need to be fought for by oneself in order to hold them firmly.
"Okay, next move!"
The fierce woman finally walked away from Shan Na.
A group of girls, including Shan Na, hurriedly got into a kneeling position and carefully rubbed their hands into the air.
Tap tap tap!
At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside.
Immediately afterwards, there was a crash and the door was violently kicked open.
The fierce woman was about to yell, but when she saw the person coming, her round face instantly changed from anger to flattery.
"How many adults do you want to choose? I have a few good ones here, and I can keep them to your satisfaction."
The fierce woman had already put away the long needle in her hand, and the smile on her face made people look fake.
Shanna's body stiffened for no reason.
She is not afraid of being beaten, nor is she afraid of being scolded. Even if she is punished and not allowed to eat, she doesn't care.
She was only afraid of being singled out.
Already fourteen years old, she knew very well what fierce women meant by "serving".
She didn't want to serve those people. If it came to that unavoidable step, she would rather die.
Isn’t it just death?
The only regret is that I may never see that Goblin-sama again.
Shanna didn't want to be singled out, so she kept her head down!
The men who rushed in were in no mood to pay attention to the woman's flattery.
They have urgent things to do.
If it goes wrong, not only will they die, but their families will be buried with them.
One of the men with a scar at the corner of his mouth pulled the fierce woman aside and glanced at the girl in the room.
"Sir, do you have any special requests?"
The fierce woman was neither angry nor annoyed, and came over again.
The man with the scar ignored him at all, but asked aloud: "Which one of you is called 'Shanna'?"
Shanna, who had lowered her head and pretended not to exist, suddenly heard her name and instinctively raised her head.
Suddenly, the man cast his gaze over.
Shanna was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head.
But the man with the scar strode over and lifted Shanna up from the ground. Maybe he felt that he was a little rude, so he quickly let go of his hand.
After coughing twice, the man asked in a gentle tone, "Your name is Shanna?"
Several thoughts flashed through Shanna's mind, and finally she nodded lightly.
"Great, I finally found you."
The man with the scar obviously breathed a sigh of relief.
The men who came with him also came over and looked Shanna up and down.
"It turns out you are 'Shanna', and it will be easy for us to find you."
The looks in these men's eyes were so strange that Shanna was a little frightened.
"Go away, don't scare this girl!"
The man with the scar immediately separated the other people.
The girl named "Shan Na" in front of me is a little ancestor and is related to the life and death of many people. If she is offended here, she may die without knowing how.
There was a death order from above. No matter what, the girl named "Shanna" must be sent to Mesai City as quickly as possible.
"Don't be afraid, girl, we will take you out of here now."
The man with the scar didn't want to waste any more time.
God knows how many people will die in Mesai City for every second of delay here.
"Where are you taking me?" Shanna was a little panicked.
"Don't be afraid, we will take you to meet someone!"
"Go and see..."
The man's voice stopped suddenly, and his eyes looked forward in disbelief.
There was an extra person in the room out of thin air.
Just appeared there without any warning.
That is a woman, an extremely beautiful woman.
Her long golden hair is like gold, her fair skin cannot be found with any flaws, her curvy figure is outlined by holy white clothes, and her whole body exudes a holy aura that is not stained by dust.
What's weird about this woman is not only the way she appears, but also because she has a pair of golden eyes that seem to be able to see through people's hearts.
"You...you..."
The man with the scar was about to ask, but he was horrified to find that his body was frozen.
"So you are Shanna!"
Landuo showed a charitable smile to Shanna.
Her smile seemed to be the light that could melt away all the coldness and darkness.
Shanna was no longer so nervous. She stared blankly at the big sister who suddenly appeared: "Sister, do you know me?"
Landuo raised the corners of his mouth slightly, bent down, and whispered something in Shanna's ear.
Then Shanna looked shocked at first, and then covered her mouth with both hands in disbelief.
"I've made you feel wronged. I'm here to take you home!"
Landuo gently placed her palm on the little girl's hair.
Shanna finally couldn't hold it any longer and her tears couldn't stop flowing down.
Lord Goblin has sent someone to rescue her!
When everyone abandoned her, Lord Goblin still missed her!
She can't even go back to her village, but she still has a home waiting for her.
In an instant, all the grievances and frights I had suffered during this period came rushing back to me.
Shanna cried very loudly.
It's like a child who was injured outside and finally met his parents.
Landuo comforted her very patiently.
She was relieved to find Shanna safely.
If something really happened to this girl, I'm afraid Lin Xi would feel guilty for a long time.
Landuo understands Lin Xi.
She knew that Lin Xi was a person who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
When Lin Xi decided to send Shan Na away, it was also out of consideration for Shan Na.
Shanna, who had been crying for a while, stopped and quickly looked at the men who were frozen and the fierce woman.
"Don't worry about them, I will deal with them later." Landuo said lightly.
"Sister, can you also save them?"
Shanna looked at the girls who were in the same situation as her.
These girls were not immobilized, but they had been trained so long that they did not dare to resist. They just watched quietly from the side without saying a word.
"They will be fine!" Landuo smiled and added, "The children here will be fine!"
.......
When Landuo arrived at "Mesai City" with Shanna, who was a little uneasy, it was already dark.
Looking at this strange city, Shanna was excited and a little nervous.
She has heard of "Messe City" but has never been to it.
The farthest place she has ever been was the small town of Godli.
The magnificence and prosperity of Mesai City have already shocked her.
Finally arrived in front of the Adventurers Association.
As soon as she got off the carriage, Shanna saw a girl in a maid uniform calling the sister who saved her "Your Majesty the Queen".
Shanna secretly looked at Landuo again.
This sister is so beautiful, she turns out to be the queen.
"Are you Shanna?"
Just when Shanna's eyes began to shift to the girl in maid uniform, the other party suddenly came to her.
Shanna nodded.
"My name is Thetis."
"My name is Shanna."
"You look so weak, no wonder you were arrested by others."
Shanna lowered her head and said nothing.
"Do you want to learn magic or fighting skills?" Sethis asked again.
Shanna raised her head suddenly, and she could hardly keep up with her thinking.
"If you don't want to be bullied, you still have to be strong. If you want to learn, I can teach you." Saitis said.
Shanna nodded.
The experience during this period of time really made her realize the importance of strength.
If possible, she would like to learn whether it is magic or fighting skills.
While talking, the three of them entered the hall.
The hall, which was still buzzing with discussions, instantly fell silent.
Pairs of eyes stared at Shan Na and the others with curiosity.
Shanna couldn't bear the scrutiny and probing eyes, so she hurriedly lowered her head.
Thetis suddenly stopped: "What are you looking at?"
Good guy!
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall unanimously turned their heads elsewhere.
This is the crushing of strength!
Now these people all know that this innocent-looking girl in front of them is actually a ruthless character.
They had heard about what happened in the training camp and the city lord's mansion today.
Shanna looked at Sethis in surprise.
She couldn't imagine that just a simple complaint could make everyone in the hall so nervous.
Is this the right to speak of strength?
Finally stopping in front of a door, Shanna's heartbeat accelerated for no reason.
The door opened.
First, a sister with a tail and animal ears appeared in view.
"Ah, you must be 'Shanna', I finally found you!"
Bai Yueguang hugged Shanna, who was a little dazed.
Shanna looked at a loss.
She didn't know why so many sisters appeared one after another.
And everyone cares about her so much.
Shanna is so afraid that this is all a dream!
When Shanna came back to her senses, she had already entered the room.
All right!
There were actually two sisters inside.
"My name is Bai Yueguang, this is Liuying Qiangwei, and this is Huang Quan..." Bai Yueguang finally pointed to Lin Xi, "I don't need to introduce this person, Lin Xi! In order to find you, Lin Xi killed a lot of scum today.
.”
When she saw that little green figure, there was no other sound in Shanna's ears.
Is this the Goblin-sama she knows?
Nothing like it!
The difference in appearance is so great that they don't look like the same species at all.
But at this moment, Shanna is certain that this is the Goblin who saves her, protects her, and helps her.
Although the appearance is different.
But the feeling it made her didn't change.
This is the Goblin-sama she longs for!
She clearly had a lot to say, but at this moment, Shanna couldn't say a word.
She just stared at Lin Xi with her eyes, as if she wanted to completely carve Lin Xi's appearance into her mind and integrate it into her soul.
