Chapter.34 Lurin’s grocery shopping
The guard warrior frowned at that tense look.
Moreover, the more I deal with this woman, the more I feel a great sense of fear creeping into .
Since my body was strangely stiff, I just scolded myself and swung my sword, asking what I was doing to this woman.
“Huh? I haven’t applied all the lip balm yet! I’m still not used to applying it alone! Annoying!”
Kwaang-!
As soon as Lurin shouted, the space where the guard warrior was standing disappeared.
Of course, the guard was gone.
Intense energy surrounded the guard, and the condensed explosion exploded in the sky.
Upon seeing this, lchak sat down, wondering if this was a dream or reality.
“Who hired who? I am 10 tis that… “No, I’ll give you 100 tis that.”
lchak’s words didn’t even reach Lulin’s ears. Just as the cries of cockroaches cannot be heard by human ears.
However, I was a little interested in the sumptuous feast served inside the building.
“Hoo, is this delicious?”
lchak nodded his head.
“Yam is delicious! So, eat as much as you want, and we can even give you 100 tis the salary!”
Lurin happened to be hungry, so she approached the plentiful feast.
“This is called Palenque, which is popular here these days. Grilled Palenque!”
However, Lurin just spat out the roasted Palanque that she had bitten into.
“not delicious.”
Then he took the tasteless Palenque and stuffed the head into the man’s mouth.
“By the way, who killed Celie’s parents?”
“I don’t know what that ans.”
“Are you the leader here?”
“no. “That dead guy over there is the leader.”
“Hmm, is that so?”
“yes yes!”
“I am.”
“yes?”
“I hate lies like that. Did you understand?”
“I am the leader!”
“Then where are those captured guys?”
“That’s in the underground water reservoir outside…” .”
“I see, but even if I’m not lying, I hate humans. “I only like El.”
“What… !”
“Hehehe.”
Lulin spun around on the spot and snapped his fingers.
And ca out.
Are you just going? lchak thought so.
About a second later, lchak and the building exploded.
***
“Did you destroy everything?”
“Did you do well? Hi-Hi.”
Rurin ran towards El and stuck her head in. It’s a cry to be petted. El understood right away and gently patted Rurin’s head.
“What about the people who are being held captive? “You didn’t destroy it that far, right?”
“you. There’s no way I could make that mistake since you told to do it. “Follow !”
“okay? “What’s going on?”
Imdiately, El followed Lulin. I covered Sally’s eyes just in case.
And soon we were greeted by a group of people being held in an underground water storage facility.
The won were just shaking. It’s not just won. n and young boys and girls.
Among them, so had wounds here and there and were in terrible shape.
L asked those people quietly.
“Who is l B’s younger brother?”
But no answer cos back. The captured people just looked at El with wary eyes.
“I am the person who ca at l B’s request. “I’m not trying to do anything bad.”
As El spoke softly again, a girl behind her raised her hand hesitantly and cautiously.
“Oh brother, is it a favor?”
The girl answered with a very intimidated expression, shivering just like the other girls.
El nodded imdiately. Fortunately, he was alive.
And they imdiately released the people. I’m sorry, but the Gray boy will have to clean up after this.
L was thinking sothing like that.
Then, Celie watched quietly and held Lulin’s hand.
“sister.”
“Why are you calling ? “It’s not your sister, it’s the master!”
“thank you.”
“Thank you? Well, since he is subordinate number 2, it is natural. “Push further towards El in the future.”
“Hehe, sister. “I was happy for a little while.”
“huh?”
Celie clung to Lurin’s feet again, as strong as a gumball.
***
Afterwards, only the child nad lilla was brought back to the clinic.
“Where is my brother? “Are you really here to save at my brother’s request?”
The whole ti she was brought in, llie cried out for her brother. The eyes are still full of caution. So, I took him to the boy who was lying down, and only then did he run to l B and start crying.
“Oh brother!”
Tears pouring down freely.
This is a boy who broke into the fortress with his bare body to save his younger brother. It was so reckless and so foolish, but I felt like I wanted to praise his spirit.
So, I left the emotional reunion behind and walked out of the clinic.
“Lurin.”
“uh?”
“What about Sally?”
Yes, the problem is Celie. In the end, l B and llie had nothing to do with Shelly.
I should have given him a photo and asked him about it before he killed the owner of the slave trade.
That’s what I thought, but there were still a lot of ways to find out. If Celie ran away, soone among the people at the underground water camp where she was held would rember her.
In that case, we should go back to the main topic and solve Celie’s problem.
With that thought in mind, I visited Sally.
But Sally was nowhere to be seen.
“Where did you leave it?”
“no. We ca together to the clinic. “I was standing there watching those humans earlier.”
“okay?”
Then where did it go?
I wandered around looking for Sally for a while. However, in the end, we were unable to find Celie in the end.
Lulin also had an absurd expression on his face.
Elena, who had been watching with satisfaction after waking l B from the sleeping spell, approaches us.
“Thanks for your efforts.”
“Yes, Elena too. By the way, did you happen to see the child who was with us? “It’s a girl nad Celie.”
“yes?”
Elena tilted her head at those words.
“You were there with when I saved that boy earlier? “The girl standing next to Lulin.”
As expected, Elena tilted her head again at my words.
“What do you an? “There was no one else but that boy?”
“yes? yes???”
Elena made an absurd sound.
“Oh my… this is… .”
Then he looked at the flower on Lulin’s pants and tilted his head again.
That’s the hibiren flower that Celie kept eating.
“Why is that? “Isn’t it just a flower?”
When he asked again with a still puzzled look on his face, Elena answered with a curious look on his face.
“This doesn’t grow anywhere and is a very rare flower. It is said to be the flower of the underworld, and if you hold this flower when you die, it is said that the dead person’s last wish will be granted. There is a legend that it is related to purification of the soul, reincarnation, and Buddhahood… “Well, legends are just legends.”
“yes?”
I looked at Elena blankly.
And it was the sa for Lulin.
“Wait a minute, can you do that?”
I ran to l B’s younger sister, llie.
And I took out a photo of Sally.
“liya, I’m sorry we’re having an emotional reunion, but… “Don’t you know this kid?”
llie, a child who looked to be about 8 years old, quietly looked at the photo I showed her. Then he opened his mouth in surprise.
“Sister Sely! “It’s Sally!”
***
Celie was lonely.
Therefore, even as he got older, he still retained the cuteness of a child, but in a ho where there was no such cuteness, such cuteness beca harmful.
It was her parents who sold Celie.
She was sold to a wizard’s laboratory. To a laboratory where small children are taken to study the magic of immortality.
Celie had her blood drawn there for no reason.
There was no one to help.
No one else.
Just like at ho, there is no one to take care of Sally here, and all she has is magic dicine to keep her alive.
For Celie, her heart began to disappear before she knew it.
But still, I wanted to live.
Before my heart disappears further.
Free this world.
But that freedom never ca.
Celie, who had been confined in the laboratory for many years, was still small even after she turned 10 years old.
Then one day, by chance, I succeeded in escaping. It was called luck.
The world did not allow Celie any more luck.
She wandered the streets and was imdiately caught by a slave trader who took pictures of her.
Although the safety of Gray City is good, it does not an that safety is good everywhere on the streets of the Empire.
After the Dragon War, the scars of the war still remained everywhere, and the political world was still in turmoil due to the fight between the three dukes.
In such a situation, freedom could not exist in the end for a girl who looked like she had been abandoned.
The slave trade that was captured like that.
The slave trade was a large organization that road not only the empire but also the kingdom and other empires.
And since I was gathering people to hold a big auction in the empire, I was fortunate enough to be stuck without any problems for now.
Then Celie t llie.
A child in the sa situation.
At first glance, Celie looked young, but she was actually older, and when she explained that, llie imdiately called Celie her sister.
“Sister, we have similar nas. So, if you escape from here, you will do well. right?”
llie followed Celie as she said that.
“Sister, this is it.”
“What is it?”
“It’s a sweet potato. I hid it, but it wasn’t taken away. let’s eat together. sister.”
And the sweet potatoes that were given to llie the day she was first captured gave her a huge shock.
It was a shock of warmth that I had never felt in my life.
Being close to llie, Celie felt warmth for the first ti in her life.
“sister. My brother will co to the rescue. please… Even if I die, I will die believing that. I will definitely ask you to save my sister too. If we go out… .”
“okay?”
On the other hand, Celie was just jealous that there was soone who could save her and think like that.
I have nothing on my own.
He was the kind of person who didn’t even have the freedom to live in this world.
However, throughout the months of travel, llie, who was naturally bright and lived a normal life before her mother’s mistake, beca like a lighthouse to Celie.
It taught about the outside world and allowed to dream.
I was grateful that she always called “unnie,” and I even started to think that I wanted to be cute and call soone “unni.”
But Sally’s happiness didn’t last long.
Even that short period of happiness in the camp was not allowed to be felt for a long ti.
While llie was sleeping peacefully next to her, Sally overheard the guards passing by and was shocked.
“One person will be sold in this room tomorrow, so get them ready. “Don’t feed it anything.”
“okay?”
“Oh, there’s that bright kid. “Kid number 2.”
“Has it been decided on him?”
“Well, I was going to leave it until the auction, but I guess I can’t help it since I need Clint.”
“Right.”
After hearing that conversation, Celie looked down at llie.
I do not know well but.
At least if you’re stuck here, you can buy so ti. Even that is for a limited ti.
However, for so reason, I felt that if I were to be taken by the Clint that the guards were talking about, I might end up in a miserable situation.
Just like what happened to in the lab.
The number written on his clothes is 1.
And llie’s clothes had the number 2 written on them. Celie quietly looked at llie.
-Your brother will co to save you. Let’s be happy together like sister.
The words llie always said began to ring in my ears.
There is soone who will co to the rescue. I don’t know if that will really co true.
Anyway, llie was a child with hope.
Sally hoped that that hope would co true. I have nothing anyway.
Even if I leave here, I won’t be able to do anything without llie.
A life without anything anyway.
I hope you are the only one who gets hard.
llie really wanted to get out of this hell.
It’s not sothing you can save.
But still, I hoped that her brother was such a great person that he would save her.
What llie gave her was big. It was great happiness.
That was probably the only happiness in my life.
If so, now it’s your turn to give it back.
If she leaves here instead, llie will be able to buy ti until the big auction.
Celie thought so and changed clothes with llie, who was soundly asleep.
Anyway, people here don’t rember each child’s face and na. Since it’s just a product, the only way to distinguish it is by number.
Although it was said that he was a bright child.
All you have to do is postpone it.
She was now product number 2, llie.
And Celie died after being abused at the place where she was sold instead of llie.
It was that kind of end.
That was the end that llie should have faced.
Celie was wrapped in mud and abandoned on a dark mountain path.
And next to the mountain path where she was abandoned, the Hibiren flower, which even elves who love nature and live in the forest have difficulty eting once in their lifeti, was glowing faintly.
