"No!"
"Help!"
The slum was characterized by a large number of people and narrow streets.
As soon as the wall was broken, everyone ran around like headless flies. Dense monsters poured in from the gap in the wall like a tide. In the blink of an eye, residents had died in the hands of those monsters.
The outer city was no longer safe. Some smart people planned to escape to the inner city. At this time, only the inner city wall was still intact, and there were senior professionals guarding it. The inner city was indeed much safer. However, Elaine did not plan to go to the inner city. Usually, only nobles and big businessmen could enter the inner city. In this emergency situation, it was even more impossible for the poor to enter.
The best way was to find a place to defend.
Elaine was very familiar with the slum. Soon, she found a suitable place to defend. It was backed against the wall, and the surrounding houses were relatively strong. It was also some distance from the breach. It was the best place to find in a short time.
A group of monsters came into view.
Elaine often heard from her parents when she was a child, but it was the first time she saw these monsters. They looked different, but the only characteristic was that they were fierce, ugly, and exuded a terrifying atmosphere. It was said that they were dark creatures sent by the evil gods to invade the world.
A group of spiders swooped over. They were the size of babies, purple-black, and their mouths were dripping corrosive liquid.
These were the lowest level of spiders, but they were still terrible. Their venom was strong and corrosive. Many warriors would be seriously injured if they were not careful.
Some information about common dark creatures flashed in Elaine's mind. Then, she stretched out her hands and condensed the ice elements around her. It was the first time since her awakening.
The surrounding temperature dropped in an instant, and ice condensed in her palms.
Bang! Bang!
The ice penetrated the spiders and then shattered. The ice pieces flew and froze the spiders to the ground.
Against this kind of weak but large number of dark creatures, a sorcerer like her had an advantage.
However, there were too many spiders. From time to time, she heard the screams of humans.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Five minutes …
With the back of the wall, this place was relatively safe. She did not encounter the terrible monsters in the black tide. However, just dealing with these spiders, Elaine's face was pale. Her magic was almost exhausted, but the situation did not improve. She also saw that the soldiers on the wall were almost dead.
Tragic!
Three years ago, she only knew how terrifying the demon tide was. Only now did she truly understand this feeling of helplessness …
In the distance, the flames of war raged in the inner city, while the outer city had long since become quiet. Elaine didn't know how many survivors were left in the outer city, but she knew that she couldn't cast any more spells. She was about to be devoured like the dead.
Was he unwilling …
If she hadn't awakened three years ago, she might have died a long time ago, but …
The Demon Spider pounced on her, its venom corroding her cloak and dripping onto her skin. The intense pain struck her nerves.
Elaine became calm instead …
Ding!
A ripple appeared in her calm eyes.
"… Do you wish to become the Lord's follower? Yes/No? "
A sheepskin scroll glowing with golden light appeared in front of her, as if dispelling the boundless darkness.
Time and space changed.
Elaine's vision blurred, and the overwhelming black tide disappeared. The sounds of fighting and screams also disappeared. What appeared in front of her was a tavern.
"I …"
She was surprised to find that she didn't feel any pain. Although her robe was still tattered, her skin was as good as before. All her injuries were healed. She even found that her body was full of magic power. She had recovered to her best state in an instant.
'Am I dreaming …'
Elaine pinched herself lightly to let her quickly understand that all of this was real. This was not heaven, nor was it hell. As the contract said, this was another world.
She came here as a follower, and everything will start anew.
The orange light exuded a soft light, and the surroundings were silent. Elaine looked up, and her eyes finally fixed on a young man with a warm smile on his face not far away.
She was startled, but she immediately stepped forward and knelt on one knee.
… …
The illusory figure on the rune array turned into reality. The girl's clothes were tattered. The originally wide cloak had turned into flying strips of cloth, and her body was stained with green blood.
Tang Yu saw that the girl seemed to be in a trance. He was about to step forward, but his raised foot suddenly stopped in mid-air …
As a Lord, facing his first follower, and a girl at that. At this time, what should he say?
Tang Yu was a bit distressed. He didn't prepare a script in advance, and he couldn't ask Baidu. How about … Comrades, you've worked hard?
That didn't seem right.
Suddenly, he saw the wine on the wine cabinet. Tang Yu's eyes lit up. He stepped forward, took a bottle, and handed it over.
"Would you like a bottle?"
Just then, Elaine stepped forward and knelt on one knee.
The atmosphere was extremely awkward …
A few minutes later.
Elaine followed behind the Lord, still feeling like she was in a dream.
First, she escaped death, and then she was summoned to this world. With the information instilled in her mind by the contract's power, she didn't feel uncomfortable. The world's language, common sense, and so on seemed to have turned into her instinct in daily life.
Because of this, she was surprised. And now, under the Lord's lead, she came to the castle.
As a child who grew up in the slums, Elaine had never seen such things. This castle was magnificent, but she was dirty all over. Walking in here, it was as if she was tarnishing this beautiful picture.
She didn't dare to enter, but the Lord pulled her inside. Along the way, she left a black footprint on the floor until they arrived at a spacious and bright room.
"This is the bathroom … clothes are on the shelf over there. There may not be anything that fits. Just put it on first. I'll prepare some food. You'll be ready when you come out."
The door closed with a click, but the Lord's words echoed in Elaine's mind. Her eyes reflected in such a beautiful room.
Her expression was still absent-minded as she thought back to her life. Ever since her parents passed away, her life had been plunged into darkness. She was bullied, ostracized, and surrounded by people with ill intentions. But today, she once again felt warmth.
Elaine blinked, her eyes couldn't help but burst into tears. She took off her clothes and walked into the warm bath. The water reached her knees, and the Lord's warm smile appeared in her mind.
Gradually, Elaine sat down, the water soaked her shoulders, washing away the filth.
She closed her eyes, and in her heart, there was a new faith.
… …
Tang Yu hummed a tune and busied himself in the kitchen.
He couldn't cook. At most, he could cook some noodles. Fortunately, the various household utensils in the castle were very advanced. Tang Yu fiddled with it for a while and managed to make something.
Returning to the bathroom door on the second floor, Tang Yu looked at the closed bathroom door and listened to the sound of water splashing inside. For a moment, Tang Yu was a little distracted.
Although Elaine's cloak was broken, her whole body looked like it had been pasted in the mud. She looked miserable. In fact, he didn't see what Elaine looked like. He only heard her crisp and sweet voice.
He thought Elaine would spend a lot of time in the bathroom. But soon, accompanied by a sound, the bathroom door opened, and a dense mist spread out.
Tang Yu suddenly had a kind of expectation.
A pure white foot appeared in his line of sight. It looked like the most exquisite ivory, and as he followed his line of sight …
Tang Yu unconsciously swallowed his saliva.
At this time, Elaine was like an elf walking out of a painting. She had long sky-blue hair that almost reached her waist. The ends of her hair were still stained with water droplets that hadn't been completely dried. Her small face was flushed, and her skin was white and smooth like a bright ice crystal.
Elaine wore a large man's coat, covering her delicate body. However, a pair of white thighs were almost exposed to the air, seemingly twisting uneasily …
