A few kilometers away from Isisburg, there stands a castle that is almost the same size as Isisburg.
Like Isisburg, it was surrounded by a serf village.
This is the Barony of Leicester.
It is different from the bustling Barony of Isis at this time.
The Barony of Leicester seemed a bit empty and lonely.
The houses built outside the lord's castle looked somewhat dilapidated under the moonlight, with large holes punched out in the thin wooden walls.
The same is true for the Lord's Castle located in the center of the village.
The broken pieces of wood swayed in the breeze, making a crunching sound.
It can be seen through the moonlight shining into the castle.
The flat masonry floor is dotted with large and small dense holes.
The dried black blood stains all over the ground indicate that a fierce battle once took place here.
Hiss~hiss~hiss~……
Harsh roars of endless pain continued to come from deeper inside the castle.
It's even more terrifying in the lonely and dilapidated castle!
My vision wanders around, tracing to the source of the sound.
In the basement of the castle, a ferocious black giant beast was seen crawling on the ground in a strange posture.
It has a huge and smooth black crown.
The ferocious head kept roaring upwards, revealing the unique inner nest of teeth that were different from other creatures and grew in the mouth.
A large amount of viscous transparent liquid continued to flow down its wide open mouth.
Hiss~
The sound that echoed in the castle came from its mouth.
Several pairs of arms similar to human bone claws in front of its chest seemed to be waving in pain.
The black and slender joint-like tail was waving wildly in mid-air.
As time goes by.
A translucent tube-like organ - an ovipositor - began to develop under the tail of this strange creature.
And behind it were lingering several smaller sibling species whose appearance was slightly different from its own.
These slightly smaller creatures have long, smooth braincases that differ from their crests.
The exoskeleton made of chitin carapace looks quite mechanical.
Two strong hind legs support the entire body, and the slender joint-shaped tail swings back and forth to maintain the balance of the body.
They continuously smear this growing ovipositor with the viscous liquid secreted from their mouths.
Then after the liquid dried and hardened slightly, they worked together to hang the grown ovipositor from the ceiling of the basement with its tail.
And on the walls surrounding the basement.
A large number of humans were tightly bound to the wall by the dark resinous secretion, unconscious and unable to move.
Among them are men and women, old and young.
It was none other than the serfs from the mainland of the Barony of Leicester.
As for what happened in Lao Wang's house next door, Sauron knew nothing about it.
At this moment he was lying back on his bed.
In addition to benefiting him a lot from all the things that happened today, they also made him feel very tired.
The bonfire party has already ended.
Everyone in the territory returned to their own place of residence with a look of satisfaction.
In Sauron's bedroom in Isisburg, a tree nest like a large indoor potted plant was emitting little fluorescent lights in the dark room.
Look at the tree nest emitting a magical light.
Zoro's originally exhausted spirit unexpectedly became more and more energetic.
"Damn it! I'm not playing with my phone!"
With no choice but to suffer from insomnia, Sauron had no choice but to leave his body again and fly to the tree nest.
The tree nest that was first nourished by the power of the world was different from the time it was first born.
Now, as long as Sauron is within the radiation range of the tree nest's magic position, he can easily return to the tree nest with just a thought.
The so-called magical position is something similar to a magnetic field.
It contains various special and magical effects, and is an ability that all high-level monsters are born with.
As a rare existence in the multiverse, the tree nest will naturally not disappear. It was only officially revealed after yesterday's growth.
Of course, even with such a convenient way to save his life, Sauron would not do it in public unless it was absolutely necessary.
After all, this is a kind of irresponsibility for his hard-won body.
But now that he is lying in his bedroom, he naturally does not have these troubles.
As Sauron's thoughts flowed, he returned to the tree nest again.
The fragments of information scattered in the consciousness space of Tree Nest began to return to the real subject.
Sauron began to navigate the vast legacy given to him by this corrupted world.
"Your name is Karma, right!"
In the bathroom on the second floor of the castle, the little maid Thor was wiping Karma's body.
The originally clean hot water begins to become turbid at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The little girl's originally gray skin became fairer.
Just like the ugly duckling turned into a white swan.
Completely different from the malnourished, shriveled and skinny bodies of the serf children.
Karma's body looks more like that of an aristocratic child, healthier and plumper.
Looking at Karma who was silent, Thor was not discouraged and continued to talk:
"Don't worry, the master is very kind to us.
From now on, you can just live in the castle with peace of mind, so you don't have to worry about going hungry.
But if you think the castle is boring and want to go out, remember to talk to the owner first.
I think the master will not refuse!"
"Hmm~"
As if sensing Thor's kindness, Karma responded softly.
Kalma has experienced this situation many times at home. Even though her mother's status is low, she is not treated by her father and brother, but she is still treated like a noble.
"Sister Alyssa."
She sat obediently in the barrel and murmured to herself.
Karma let the towel in Thor's hand wipe her white skin.
Since arriving in this unfamiliar territory,
Whether it is Marco, Zoro or Thor, they are all very kind to her.
Not only did he give her food, he also cleaned her body.
Karma cherished this moment of peace.
Just when she calmed down, her mind couldn't help but think of the scene when her maid sister Alyssa and her mother were captured by those monsters.
The negative emotions that had been accumulated for several days burst out like a flood.
Karma turned around and hugged Thor's neck, crying so hard:
"Uuuuu~ Sister Thor, mother!
Phew~ Mom will never come back~
And...and sister Alyssa!
Woohoo~"
Thor was a little confused by Karma's scene.
But after all, there is a younger brother in the family who is about the same age as Karma.
Thor immediately calmed down.
She didn't care whether the water drops on Kalma's body would make her clothes wet, and hugged Kalma with her backhand.
Thor imitated Sauron's method of comforting himself in the morning, and kept stroking Karma's smooth back with his right hand from top to bottom:
"Sister Karma, don't be afraid, consider this place your home from now on!"
Perhaps because he vented the pent-up and tense emotions in his heart, coupled with Thor's comfort, Karma's mood stabilized slightly.
After feeling that Kalma's mood was slightly stable.
Thor held her shoulders, looked at Karma and asked:
"Tell your sister what happened!"
"Strange...monsters, many black monsters rushed into the house.
In order to protect me, Uncle Elder was finally captured by those black monsters.
Now I'm the only one left."
After saying that, Karma hugged Thor's neck again and started sobbing, but not as loudly as before.
"Don't be afraid Karma, you will be safe when you come here!
The monsters you mentioned cannot enter the territory.
The master and Uncle Kahn are very powerful.
The master killed a monster by himself.
Even Uncle Kahn can easily kill a big wild boar.
Do you know about the big wild boar?
The meat we ate at night was the big wild boar killed by Uncle Kahn.
Those monsters can't enter the village."
Thor said confidently.
"Is it true?
If that's the case, that's really great.
Thank...thank...you, Sister Thor!"
As Karma's voice became smaller and smaller, she finally fell asleep in Thor's arms.
Thor was also confused now.
In desperation, she had to gently lift Karma out of the bucket.
Then use the towel in your hand to wipe away the water stains on her body.
