In a dirty dungeon, there is a group of young people with miserable looks...most of them are girls, but some are boys.
Metanzo, senior sister [Yulia] and their party were in this kind of environment at this time.
They were captured by that group of bandit-like guys, and after entering a certain area of the dilapidated city, they were sent to this place.
This is probably not the lair of those bandits because there is a handover process.
After the robbers harvested some money from the owner of the dungeon, they left directly.
"A very bad start."
[Yulia] Senior sister held the lock of the dungeon's iron door with both hands for a long time...and then shook her head after a long time, which also sent a signal to Metanzo.
Here, she can't even perform Star Creation.
…
There is no daylight in the dungeon, and the only way to maintain the sense of time is by placing food at a fixed time every day... Clary woke up the night she entered the dungeon.
[Yulia] After the senior sister briefly explained the situation to Clary, the little maid of [Rose Mansion] was surprisingly not too excited. She just curled up quietly in the corner and did not
to communicate.
But [Yulia]-senpai is very good at communicating with people. There are many captured guys in the dungeon, and they are good communication partners.
From the mouths of these communication partners, senior [Yuliya] and her party quickly mastered some information about this place.
The place where they are currently located was formerly the [Divinity City], known as the safest, most prosperous and stable human habitat, and it is also the headquarters of the [Divinity Holy See] that fights against the world's monsters.
However, a disaster struck, and overnight, the [Holy See] was defeated, the nobles and elites left one after another, leaving only the people at the bottom, and the [City of Divine Blessing] became the desolate appearance it is today.
All moral and legal restraints have been lost here. In order to survive, abandoned humans will do almost anything... Some guys found some remaining equipment at the Holy See headquarters, and even began to modify their bodies to varying degrees, quickly gaining
A certain degree of strength.
Soon, the once prosperous [City of Divine Blessing] was divided into strongholds of different sizes by these guys... Illegal intrusion between strongholds is regarded as war.
…
This is an ownerless and lawless city. In this former [City of Divine Blessing], in addition to the melee battles between the major strongholds, there is actually a terrifying force that suppresses the entire [City of Divine Blessing].
These humans in the City of Divine Blessing.
In other words, this terrifying force is ruling the current [Divine Blessed City], and is enjoying the current decline of [Divine Blessed City].
As for the owner of the dungeon, he is actually a slave trader.
This slave trader secretly colludes with the forces in various neighborhood strongholds in [Divine Blessing City]... In other words, the dungeon can also be regarded as a powerful force, and has accumulated considerable wealth through the slave trade.
wealth and survival resources.
With the resources to survive, it is natural to attract more people to work for it... More people to work for it also means that the dungeon owner's business can grow bigger and bigger. This is a positive cycle.
…
Don’t you want to escape from [Divine Blessed City]?
Where can I go after escaping from [Divine Blessed City]?
Since the [Holy See] was defeated, the outside world has also fallen into fear.
Between city-states, there are a large number of low-level monsters everywhere. How many people can survive to the next city-state... Even if they survive to the next city-state, who can guarantee that it will not be another [god]
Youzhicheng]?
"Perhaps Ladap under the stars is the last pure land of mankind..."
"Radap?" Senior Sister [Yuliya] blinked.
The person who spoke to her was a young girl, who was also one of her important sources of information... There was a price, for example, a piece of moldy bread served during lunch.
This is a friendship worth a piece of moldy bread!
The girl calls herself Laman, and she was born after the destruction of the [City of Divine Blessing]... She is fifteen years old this year. In other words, a full fifteen years have passed since the [City of Divine Blessing] was destroyed and the world fell into panic.
years of time.
"Yes, Radap..." Raman vaguely saw a trace of extremely humble expectations and confusion in his eyes, "I heard from grandpa that that is the place where the Holy See, human nobles and elites finally left... there,
Human beings will not be attacked by monsters, the land is fertile, and people can walk freely in the countryside and bathe in the fresh wind... Sister Yulia, have you ever seen the sea? I heard that in Ladap, you can see the sea..."
Saw it.
This was also the night that [Yulia] and Laman last heard about the world from Laman. Laman was taken away and never came back.
The small boat of friendship was swept away by the huge waves.
…
"Is something wrong?"
[Yulia] Senior sister and Medanzo were squatting in the corner, discussing something. The little boy in front of them no longer looked like Yuri's rosy lips and white teeth.
Metanzo, who had been starved to the point of being reduced to a skin and bones. [Yulia] Senior sister is in a similar situation.
Here, they are in a very ordinary physical condition. They don't have enough to eat every day. Let alone escaping from this place, even if they think about something, they will be distracted by hunger.
Even in this extremely short period of time, Selien's condition was better than theirs. This was the reason why Metanzo insisted on feeding her with his own food every day.
There is also Clary, she will also give a portion to Medanzo every day, which will be used to maintain Celine's body and then... and then continue not to communicate with others.
"What's wrong?" Medanzo leaned against the damp wall weakly and carefully tore the moldy bread clean.
"Logically speaking, with your and my looks, as a slave, shouldn't we be high-end goods?" Senior Sister [Yuliya] squared up her hungry skull-like face quite seriously.
Medanzo blinked, "Then what?"
"High-end goods, shouldn't they be very popular?" Senior Sister [Yuliya] analyzed step by step, "But why can't we sell them?"
Not to mention selling it, after being taken into the dungeon, they had not even met the owner of the dungeon once, let alone being sent to an exhibition.
Medanzo thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's because of poverty?"
"That makes sense?" [Yuliya] Senior Sister suddenly took a breath. If it is classified as high-end goods, considering the living conditions of [Divine Blessed City], it seems that there are really not many people who are willing to use a large amount of it.
Supplies to shop for a slave who can only be used as a toy at best.
If you want to buy a slave, it is probably a slave like Raman who is of ordinary appearance but has a lot of required functions, so he is considered a hot commodity?
"Celion hasn't woken up, and the owner of the dungeon actually ignored her." Senior sister [Yulia] suddenly said at this time: "I counted the food that I put out every day, and they are actually Celion's share.
It’s also included in the calculation.”
"Um."
Medanzo just nodded slightly, obviously it had noticed this unreasonableness early on.
Unfortunately, all information can only be obtained from these quasi-slaves locked up in the dungeon, which is of no help based on their current environment.
This can't help but make these two guys who have had the most glorious moments outside start to doubt life... thinking about whether they will really face life in this cold and damp dungeon in the most frustrating way.
bid farewell.
Even for a particularly stubborn person like my senior sister, as time went by, she became a little unable to sit still.
Day after day passed, and a month after being captured in the dungeon, [Yulia] senior's uneasiness almost reached its maximum level.
She was planning to escape from this dungeon. No matter whether she succeeded or not, she had to do something...and the chance was only the moment when food was released twice a day.
I have already thought of the method and have secretly discussed it with Medanzo countless times!
"Senior, are you ready?"
"Um!"
"Then come on!"
The small iron plate at the food input port began to slowly open. Metanzo and [Yuliya] senior looked at each other and rushed to the food input port in an instant!
At this moment, the iron door of the dungeon opened instantly, and a group of vicious men with many signs of rough transformation on their bodies rushed in instantly with weapons in hand.
"You, you, you...and you!" The leading man quickly reached out and touched the four senior students [Yuliya], "Follow me!"
The senior sister and Metanzo looked at each other again, and a turning point came at such an unexpected time!
…
…
They were quite confused about the situation in front of them...and were silent.
In a rather luxurious living room, they were sitting at a luxurious long dining table. The food placed in front of them was not the best they had ever eaten, but it was obviously the best food in the [City of Divine Blessing].
Farming a place is undoubtedly worth many lives.
The living room... In the living room, except for the four of them, there was no one else, not even a guard. It seemed that the owner here was not afraid that they would take the opportunity to escape.
"So... what is this situation?" [Yuliya] Senior Sister couldn't help but frowned.
Medanzo shook his head, picked up a plate of mushroom soup, and carefully fed Celine with his own hands... Clary, on the other hand, had a different reaction than when she was in the dungeon.
There seemed to be a trace of uneasiness in Clary's eyes... Unaccustomed. She seemed to prefer cold and damp places?
[Yuliya] The senior exhaled slowly, grabbed a piece of bread, and chewed it carefully.
Just like that, I stayed silently and suddenly, the door of the living room suddenly opened.
I saw a guy dressed as a nobleman looking down, wearing an iron mask on his face, and holding a scepter in his hand. He pushed the door directly and walked in... The nobleman with the iron mask walked in quickly, and behind him, there seemed to be four beautiful people following him.
A girl with fair skin and wearing only a gauze.
The iron-faced nobleman has a slender figure, and when walking, he has a posture like a true nobleman.
[Yulia] Senior sister and Metanzo looked at each other expressionlessly, and saw the iron-faced nobleman coming to the host table at this time... He bowed to everyone, his voice was low and hoarse, "My lord, Alan,
Masters of the dungeon in the City of Divine Blessing, everyone, are you satisfied with tonight’s dinner?”
It was indeed dark outside.
[City of Divine Blessing], dark lights and black fire, but only one place shines with light... among the religious establishment group in the center of [City of Divine Blessing].
[Yulia] glanced at Medanzo quietly, then smiled bitterly and said: "If you are satisfied or not, let's talk about it... So, is this the last supper?"
The dungeon master who called himself Allen shook his head, "This will not be the last supper. If you are willing, it will only be your first rich dinner. From now on, you will enjoy more, more."
"
【Yuliya】The senior was stunned.
Is this the rhythm of someone who is stupid and has a lot of money and bought the four of them?
"Of course, this is not without conditions." The dungeon master chuckled at this time and said: "This requires you to pass a certain selection. Only after meeting the conditions can you all live a good life."
[Yuliya] Senior Sister frowned and said subconsciously: "This... Sir, don't you know what we can do for you?"
The owner of the dungeon walked to the window of the living room, pulled open the huge curtains, and pointed at the only bright place in the City of Divine Blessing, "Have you seen that place..."
God's Blessed City] The ruler's castle."
Medanzo hesitated and said: "So what?"
The owner of the dungeon glanced at the little boy casually and continued with a chuckle: "Do you know who this ruler is?"
Shake his head to express ignorance.
The owner of the dungeon said: "That person is a real noble...a noble among high-ranking vampires! As long as you can satisfy this real noble, you can live in the castle that can be lit up even in the dark.
Among them: warm clothes, sweet honey, and a soft bed."
[Yuliya] Senior sister smiled bitterly at this time, "What a wonderful future... I'm afraid, this kind of future is hard to come by, right?"
"Of course it is." The owner of the dungeon nodded at this time and said: "It needs to go through some selection... Do you know why I bought you from that group of refugees and haven't had any contact with you for so long?
"
Metanzo and [Yuliya] senior looked at each other.
"For...observation?" Senior Sister [Yuliya] said tentatively: "Observe us?"
The owner of the dungeon nodded, "Yes, for observation! In fact, I have been observing you since the first day I bought you... There is nothing like the people from [Divinity's Blessing City] in you.
Numbness and despair. You are different. Therefore, for more than a month, I have been observing you silently until I felt that you could no longer hold on and wanted to escape from this place."
The senior sister suddenly laughed bitterly.
This is probably about hunting geese all day long, and then being killed by one of the geese, right?
