[Comprehensive Fairy Tale] The Uncrowned King

The hunter put Sid in a sack and carried it on his shoulder, and led Samuel out of the hotel calmly. No one questioned why the hunter, who was empty-handed, came out with a big bag. Samuel's eyes were on everyone around The expression of indifference and numbness, which only focused on the work in his hands, turned around and then lowered his head, and he gained a new understanding of this supposedly beautiful fairy tale world.I always feel that surviving here will not be easy.

After leaving the hotel, Samuel, who had solved the biggest trouble, stood still for a while, not knowing where to go. The hunter asked, "What, little guy, there is nowhere to go?"

"Ah."

"Oh...do you want me to introduce you to a place?"

"really?"

Hey, the hunter is unexpectedly enthusiastic!Samuel looked at him gratefully. He thought it was true. As a native hunter, he must know a lot of people. Although he really didn't know anything, in order not to spoil the love his parents once gave him, he would definitely eat it. It's hard to make yourself better.What kind of work would the hunter introduce him to?Thinking about it, I feel a little excited, this is Samuel's first step in the world of fairy tales!A big step for sure too!

The hunter then took out a piece of parchment that was probably new and looked at it from his mysterious pocket. After a while, he tore off a piece of cloth from the middle and handed it to Samuel: "Here, this is the place."

Samuel looked sideways.On it is a crooked English letter symbol that is most worrying in school, but surprisingly, he can understand it without barriers. However, the language spoken here is not diabolism, but another kind of weird tone. He communicates in a natural language.

An address was written on the cloth strip: NO.17 Bentham couple, Luan Township.

"Their family needs a helper. Of course, there are very few things that can be done. It is very easy for you to go there. It also includes food and lodging. It can also give you the status of a small town in Luan. This town is very rich. Yes, it’s easy to do things after going out with their identities. How about it, are you going or not?”

"Go!" This was a rare opportunity, and Samuel readily agreed.In Samuel's eyes, the hunter saved him in times of crisis, and he was a trustworthy person. Now he is willing to introduce him to a job, and Samuel is of course willing.

"Looking at you kid, I guess you don't know where the town of Luan is. Forget it, I'll take you there anyway. It's not far from here anyway."

"Thank you, uncle, you are such a good man!"

Samuel sent a good card to the hunter without hesitation, and happily followed him out of the town."Taurazo Township" was written outside the town, and Samuel secretly kept the name in his heart, maybe one day he would need to return here.

In fact, Samuel is not completely out of nowhere, he still has the identity of Little Red Riding Hood, and a woman who calls him Mary, who calls him too many slots, claims to be his mother.But he didn't dare to go back, he wasn't really Mary, although he didn't know why he had this identity as soon as he came here, but he occupied someone else's body, and there must be a huge gap with the previous Mary, It would be bad if the woman found out, and, how could he go back and say that the poor old man he hadn't seen had been eaten by wolves.Seems like a disaster caused by his momentary kindness?So I can only escape.

Thinking of the poor old man, Samuel couldn't help but cast a glance at Sid, who was still carried on the hunter's shoulders and packed in a sack, and his sympathy for his possible death after being raised and plucked three times disappeared. up.

There is a river between the town of Luan and the town of Taurajo. This river is actually a tributary of the river that Samuel didn’t know the name in the Un’Goro Forest. called the creek.After crossing, it is the small town of Luan.This town is indeed much more lively than the town of Taurajo. The hunter took Samuel with the address and searched along the town's residential numbers one by one, and finally stopped at No. 17, the house of the Bentham couple. The house is a green brick and tile house with a closed gate, and looks ordinary.

Samuel pulled his clothes nervously, trying to make himself more energetic. At the same time, he was suddenly worried about what to do if people thought he was too thin and didn't want him. He also thought that if he could work here, he must thank the hunter. Even if he can't get any reward.The hunter had already knocked on the door, and after knocking for a while, someone came and opened the door. It was a fierce woman over half a century old, with a kerchief that peasant women usually wear on her head, and a coarse coat, looking It's not easy to get along with.

Samuel suddenly became more nervous.

The hunter suddenly lifted Samuel to the woman with one hand and said, "This is the servant you want to buy. Look, how is he? He is healthy, handsome, and able to endure hardships. He is a rare commodity. The family will definitely work hard to serve you. If I hadn’t done a big deal recently, I would definitely take him into the city and sell him in a slave shop, and he can be sold for a high price for special supplies. Buy him, you can It must not be a disadvantage."

The hunter was too tall, and Samuel was still growing. He was so embarrassed that he could barely step on the ground when he mentioned it. He didn't hear the hunter's words clearly, but instinctively grinned at the woman, wanting to show His determination, but only got the woman's picky eyes, and heard her say:

"So small? What kind of work can you do? Don't end up becoming a sick child we have to support. Could it be that you haven't worked hard recently and don't have any good things to pick for us? I don't want to use it for a while, If it’s exhausted, you’ll have to buy another one then!”

Samuel finally realized that something was wrong, his face turned cold, and he withdrew his silly smile, listening to the woman and the hunter bargaining - it turned out that the hunter was still a part-time human trafficker, so he was the kind of person who was sold and wanted A fool who counts money?He doesn't want it!

Samuel made a sudden effort, trying to escape from the hunter and run away, but he tried his best, but he couldn't shake the hunter's hand on his collar, instead it hurt his neck .Oops!The hunter had sensed Samuel's resistance, he smiled at him, lifted him higher off the ground, and said:

"Boy, what did you find out about me now? It's too late! I kindly taught you that children should not trust adults too much, even if he does you a favor."

He raised his head and said to the woman, "Okay, you also found out that I just abducted this kid, and he hasn't fully obeyed him yet. How about this? I'll drop the money by another [-]%, so you can do it. Tie it up with a rope, this kid can't run away, such a softie, just beat him a few times and he will be obedient."

Samuel was so strangled that he couldn't breathe. He saw that the woman had already taken money out of her pocket, and hurriedly looked around. He happened to see someone coming from a distance, so he squeezed out a little voice from his chest, and shouted: " Help, help! Help me!"

But the man just glanced at him indifferently and walked away.Samuel just felt that his heart had fallen into the ice cellar.

"Wake up, little guy, human trafficking is carried out with the support of the king. Even if the little prince is left alone and kidnapped, the king can only find him quickly instead of banning human trafficking. Do you think this Who in the town will take care of your mess? Besides, what else are you dissatisfied with? There is work, food and shelter, and an identity for you. Isn’t this what I agreed with you?— — Mrs. Bentham, you can go to town and register for his private servant status."

The last sentence was said by the hunter when he took the money from the woman.

Samuel was roughly pushed forward by the hunter, and the woman just closed the door, and the hunter's last words came from the gradually closing door: "Little guy, you are obedient now, you must know that the private servant, But no one cares about killing them.”

Gritting his teeth, Samuel rushed forward to open the door, but was hit by something thrown from behind, and fell directly to the ground. Samuel turned around with difficulty, and saw the fierce woman He was staring at him, cursing and saying, "You son of a bitch, how dare you resist? Hmph, sure enough, what the hunter said is, just beat you up a few times!"

Samuel wanted to get up, but he was hit hard for a moment and lost his strength. He could only beg for mercy and said: "Good wife, please let me go, I am a free man, I was tricked by that hunter That!" Damn it, Samuel gritted his teeth, he could only try his luck and beg for mercy!

"I've paid all the money, and you still want me to let you go? What's the good thing?" The woman didn't listen, and picked up the farm tool by the door, turned it upside down, and smashed Samuel with a wooden pole. .It was very painful, and Samuel could only roll over on the ground with great difficulty, and he was extremely embarrassed. When did he suffer such a severe beating?After all, he hadn't experienced any suffering yet, and the tears were flattened in his eyes, and he swallowed them again.He has never clearly realized that in this world, he is alone, and no one can help him or love him.He has only himself.

I don't know how long after being beaten, Samuel almost lost consciousness before he heard a male voice say:

"This is the kid you just bought? Stop beating, how long will it take you to beat him before he can work?"

"That's right, anyway, I've made him realize his duty as a servant, so he'll be honest now! Lock him up and give him some water first, so that he doesn't die."

"Where is it closed?"

"Just the chicken coop, that's where he should be."

"Ah."

Then Samuel felt that he was dragged by something until he was dragged to a ground full of stench, and his face fell to the ground. Samuel could no longer maintain his consciousness, so he just fell into a coma.
