Squeak, squeak, squeak...

The sound of the wooden wheel turning slightly reached my ears, and my tired body felt that the nearby space was shaking, as if it was in a state of movement.

"Well......"

After waking up, Li Shanren frowned, gritted his teeth slightly, and subconsciously touched his chest with his left hand, as if he was still feeling a sharp stabbing pain through his heart. At this touch, he unexpectedly touched silky soft hair.

"Ok?"

He opened his eyes immediately, and as soon as he lowered his head, he saw Alice with silver-gray curly hair lying on his chest, looking up at him with her blue eyes.

"Huh? Alice?"

Li Shanren was a little surprised. He turned his head and looked around, and found that they were still in the iron cage. The outside was wrapped in a cloth made of animal skin, and only a little light penetrated from under the cloth.

The slightly swaying iron cage, the squeaking sound of the wheels, and the clear sense of movement all indicate that they are on a moving primitive vehicle, but they are being pulled by someone unknown.

Li Shanren silently withdrew his gaze, looked down at Alice, and asked in as gentle a tone as possible: "When did you wake up? Are those places on your body still hurting? Are you hungry now?"

Unexpectedly, Alice stared at Li Shanren's face for a few seconds, then suddenly buried her head in his arms and sobbed softly.

Li Shanren sighed slightly and patted Alice's back with his right hand, silently comforting her.

This little girl must have been worried all the time during the time she was imprisoned.

"I'm so damned..."

Thinking that Alice's tragic experience was due to his own mistakes, Li Shanren felt a pang of guilt, and even suppressed the pain from being mercilessly killed by Millicent.

After silently comforting Alice for a while, Li Shanren slowly began to ask her about her experiences during this period.

That morning, after following the bald old man into the western-style villa, Alice went to the warm room she imagined, and did not see any other children. She only remembered that she had been walking in a dark corridor, with every other door on the wall next to it. After dozens of steps there was a weak oil lamp.

Feeling that something was wrong, Alice stopped in fear and wanted to turn around and run away. However, the bald old man grabbed her by the collar and whipped her severely with a hemp rope he took out from nowhere. After being whipped a few times, he was dragged all the way to the dark basement and locked in the nearest iron cage.

During the time she was locked in the iron cage, Alice was scared every day because there were always faint sounds of crying nearby, which made her understand that many children like her were locked up here. She didn't know what to expect.

Next, the bald old man would bring food in every other day. It was basically a kind of sticky paste. I don’t know what it was made of. It had no taste in itself, but it exuded a strong stench, which was very disturbing. hard to swallow.

As the daughter of a businessman, Alice, who had lived in a privileged environment since she was a child, found it difficult to tolerate this kind of food. When she was hungry, she once forced herself to eat a little, but she would soon vomit it all out. After going back and forth, she couldn't eat anything. Something made her even weaker.

So, in the days that followed, Alice mostly relied on drinking water to survive. When she was really hungry and couldn't bear it anymore, she could barely eat something, so that her empty stomach would not squirm and make her vomit it all. come out.

But even so, her body was getting weaker day by day. During this period, when the bald old man came in to visit, he thought Alice was deliberately not eating, so he whipped her again. He stopped after noticing Alice's weakness. .

In this situation, as time passed, Alice slowly became dying and could die at any time, until Li Shanren himself was imprisoned.

After listening to Alice's intermittent narration, Li Shanren's expression was calm, and no change could be seen. However, where Alice could not see, his left hand was slightly clenched.

"It's okay, I'm here, I'll take you away, and you will follow me from now on." Li Shanren patted Alice on the back and said softly.

Alice, who was lying on his chest, nodded slightly without saying anything more. Her scorched and haggard little face showed that she was still very weak and needed to eat and take good care of herself.

But Li Shanren didn't have any food on hand.

He thought for a few seconds, and then remembered something that might be useful.

Li Shanren still hugged Alice with his right hand. His left hand reached to his waist and touched the Holy Grail bottle that came back from the border with him. He took it off and twisted the mouth of the bottle with his thumb to make its appearance turn red. Convert all the dew drops inside into red dew drops.

The dew drop in the Holy Grail bottle itself can be regarded as an imitation of the dew drop of life. After drinking it, it can quickly restore physical injuries, and it should also have a certain effect on restoring physical condition.

"Here, take a sip of this."

Li Shanren brought the mouth of the bottle to Alice's dry and peeling lips and watched her obediently take a sip of the red dew drop. The dew drop produced from the Holy Grail bottle was sweet and sweet and would not cause the little girl to feel nauseous.

"Feeling better?"

"Ah."

Alice's condition improved in a time visible to the naked eye. The bruises on her arms disappeared quickly like dust caught in the strong wind. Her haggard little face also began to gradually turn red, slowly returning to the look it had when they first met a few days ago. Delicate state.

Seeing this scene, Li Shanren was slightly relieved. Finally, he didn't have to worry that Alice might die at any time. However, why did he not return to the alley when he returned from the junction this time, but reappeared in the iron cage? There was one question that he didn't understand yet.

But judging from the fact that Alice lay naturally on him when he just woke up, Li Shanren's return does not seem to appear suddenly. It seems that the main body has been in the cage and has not been moved. It can be explained by this point. think about it.

Of course, the top priority is to get out of trouble first and settle the score with that bald old bastard. He has to return to the cage again. If he returns to the alley, with the way they are moving now, it is estimated that the old bastard is moving and has already After leaving the orphanage and running out of the alley, Li Shanren didn't know where to look.

Li Shanren lowered his head and checked his waist. When he found that the Soul Summoning Bell was slightly glowing, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Then, he converted the dew drops in the Holy Grail bottle into blue dew drops, then hung it back on his waist, then put his hand into the small storage bag, and with a slight movement, he pulled out the meteorite staff inlaid with dark purple pyroxene. .

He hugged Alice slightly, raised the meteorite staff in front of him, and poured concentration into it. Then the pyroxene at the top began to emit a blue light, indicating that this was an academy pyroxene magic.

"Whoosh-"

A curved arc of pyroxene was fired instantly, quickly hitting the upper part of the iron cage railing, and silently cutting it open.

Since this magic dissipates after hitting the first object, it does not damage the animal skin cover covering the outside.

Destroying it once was not enough to open the iron cage. Li Shanren immediately released the pyroxene arc again. This time he cut the bottom of the railing. Then he asked Alice to sit next to him, rubbed himself near the cage door, and kicked He kicked open the separated railing, creating a hole big enough to escape.
