"Huh? Don't you know that the gifts from the king must be opened immediately when they are delivered?!"

Um?I really don't know!Isn't it impolite to open presents in person?

Forget it, since this person is willing, I don't want to cause any trouble, so I can open it six times. The worst result is that he takes away a little of the gold coins in the box, and treat it as a dog.

So I decided to just open the case.But not to mention, this box is not only gorgeous, but even taking it apart would take a lot of effort. If it weren't for my strength, opening it might really be a problem.

After a lot of effort, I finally opened the box. I can't wait to be blinded by gold coins, so...

That's why there are no gold coins in the box, not even any golden things, and there is only one person in the box... no, it's a half-person.

The gift the king gave me turned out to be a half-human?

…………

65: Awakening

It turned out to be a half person inside?

Judging from the appearance, I am too familiar with this half-human race. There is almost no clothes on the upper body, just a thing that is not even a rag to cover the upper body. Except for the first time, the body is full of bruises and redness. Endless scars.

Judging from the sporadic good skin, she was definitely a very beautiful girl before, but now, I can only see pity on her.

Also, she's a worm demihuman.

According to the length of the worm tail that Lisuth told me to judge the age of the worm girl, she is about 80 years old. According to the age converted into a human, she is only 16 or 7 years old, and the tail has lost what the worm family should be. Some are angry, the original silver-gray tail bar is now a dull color.Rough, bruised, dry...these are all good descriptions.

A girl who was about 16 or 7 years old suffered such inhuman torture?She fell into the hands of humans, or kings, and I think she is lucky to be alive.But it still hurts to see her, because...

Judging from the bloody bandage covering her head, her eyes...have been gouged out.

This worm girl was still a child, her eyes had been gouged out, she didn't cry, but I saw her trembling.

"This...this is..."

"How is it? This gift from the king is not bad!"

"This one……"

"Hey, why don't you hurry up and thank the king, you pariah!"

"Then...then thank you king..."

"Huh! Look at your expression! Are you still not satisfied?! How many people want to raise a beast now! But they can't do it! You guys still have the ability to get it, shouldn't you be happy!"

"Well...but...why is it a half-human?"

"Bastard! Didn't you say that those beasts are your enemies! Now the king sent you this beast to let you vent your anger! You must know that it is yours, whether it is starved to death or beaten to death, It’s still your freedom to do physical work, whether it’s torturing or watching, even if you do something between a man and a woman with it, because from now on, it’s a thing!”

Whenever this person said an adjective, the worm girl in the box trembled slightly. I noticed this. It was her fear, because of the fear of facing the human latter's tragic past.

"Can I... dispose of it at will?"

"Do you want me to repeat it again! You pariah are so stupid! This thing is yours, and you can do whatever you want with it!"

"I understand this...but what's the matter with the wound on her body?"

"Idiot, of course this is to teach them a lesson! Do you think these beasts will be obedient after they are captured! But under the whip, they are all obedient beasts! Hahaha!"

In fact, I understand all this, but I just can't believe it. Now that this person has said it, I have to face it.

"Then what about the eyes? Why goug them out?"

"Of course this is to make them more honest. These beasts are the most obedient when they can't see anything."

"..."

I can't say anything anymore, I can only listen to this person talking about the various uses of this half-human, without exception, all of which are to make her do some cruel things that are impossible for humans to do.As for when it ended, I can’t remember. In fact, what I have been thinking about in my mind is why this gift is a half-human, and it is the race I am most familiar with, worms...

If it wasn't for knowing that the king didn't know Lissus at all, I wondered if he came to test me on purpose.

"What an enviable pariah... Remember, you just need to keep it as an animal, heh, don't play too tired!"

The minister who gave the gift left after saying some unhealthy words, and was responsible for moving the box... Oh no, I was the one who moved half of the people into the house. The servant of the Rex family wanted to help , but I rejected it.

I don't know why I'm doing this, but, I don't want to expose her to any more humans.

Rex can't come back for the time being, if I come back, maybe I won't be so confused, put the box in my bedroom, I don't know what to do next.

The conversation I had with the minister before scared the worm so much that after I moved her into the house, she no longer knew whether she passed out or fell asleep.

It is obviously a big box for me, but she looks very crowded when I put it in.In order to make her comfortable, it took a lot of effort to carry her to the bed.

I don't know when she wakes up, but I'm willing to wait for her to wake up, maybe because he's the demihuman I need to be nice to, maybe because she's a worm, and maybe because she reminds me of Lissus... …

So I waited from 7 o'clock in the afternoon, and sat until almost noon the next morning, when Sleeping Beauty finally woke up.

She still has the shackles set by the people of the kingdom, but I didn't open her, because I was afraid that she would instinctively attack me when she woke up.

Of course, Rex came back during this period. I briefly explained the situation to him and told him not to disturb her.Of course, he was quite surprised that the king's gift was a half-human. Although he still had a lot of questions, perhaps he saw my serious expression, so he chose to listen to me silently.

I don't know what I want to do, but it seems that my worries are unnecessary. When she woke up, she only squirmed a few times on the soft bed, and seemed to like the touch of the mattress very much.

This made my heart ache. What kind of cruel environment made her so infatuated with the very common soft bed?

But she still can't see me, I don't know how she can perceive me, maybe there is no way at all, I looked at her silently, comfortable at the beginning and then nervous for a moment, as if recalling my own past The treatment, she was given to me as a gift.

I couldn't stand it anymore, so I spoke up.

"Can you... feel my presence?"

"Um?!"

My sudden voice must have startled her, as if I would do something cruel to her, she curled up as far back as she could with tears in the corners of her eyes, trying to keep me from hurting her.

But I didn't care, instead I explained to her in the gentlest voice I could.

"You can't see me...don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

Maybe my Heart of the Swarm can finally play a role that I'm proud of at this time, so when I said that, she obviously calmed down a lot.

"You... are you going to hurt me?"

This is a voice that sounds extremely crisp, a voice that makes people have to soften their hearts.

"No, absolutely not."
