Thor walked into the hall of the slave market castle, ignoring the flattery of the crowd around him.

He walked through the hall, climbed the stairs, and went to the second floor.

To better house the slaves, the second floor was divided by a corridor, with numerous large communal sleeping quarters on both sides, each capable of accommodating about 10 people.

As Thor strolled down the corridor, he observed the rooms on either side.

Each room has a semi-transparent window with iron bars on the side facing the corridor, allowing guards to better observe the situation inside.

Many people in the room heard the commotion downstairs and got up from their hard beds, leaning against the window to look out at the outside world, hoping for a chance to be redeemed.

There are many kinds of slaves here.

Humans, subspecies of humans, and beastmen all wore similar cotton and linen clothing.

No one was beaten, and no one went hungry.

The slave market was not a charity; only slaves in good health could fetch a good price.

He stopped in front of one of the houses.

This room houses low-risk prisoners who are unable to resist; they are mostly thin young men who are now lying obediently on their beds.

Thor's gaze lingered on the corner of the room, where an Argonian girl was foolishly biting the lock on the door with her teeth.

He put the iron lock in his mouth and gnawed at it with his teeth.

Her actions were doomed to failure.

Thor tapped on the window, making a crisp, loud sound.

"Hey you idiot over there, what are you doing?" Thor said.

The Argonian girl then noticed someone at the door and quickly abandoned her plan to break the lock.

With a "pop," the silver lock, covered in saliva, was spat out of his mouth.

She looked at Thor with a puzzled expression.

The girl's face was somewhat childish, and her figure was rather petite. The yellow dragon horns on her head were significantly smaller than Yulia's, and she also had a tail trailing behind her, though it was pale yellow.

Thor took out the key, turned it on the lock, opened the door, and said:

"Come with me."

"I?"

The clueless Argonian girl couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Are you only taking me with you?"

"Yes." Thor didn't want to say more.

"Why am I the only one?" the girl asked, confused.

"Why?" Thor made up a reason on the spot.

"Because you're dumber than them."

The girl didn't resist much and obediently walked out of the room to Thor's side.

Surprisingly, the other party did not offer strong resistance, nor did they ask any other questions.

This alerted Thor.

There's a high probability that they're hiding their thoughts of escaping, hoping to sneak away when you're not looking.

Urged on by Thor, the girl was forced to board a carriage.

The coachman set off immediately, his destination Thor's house.

Thor asked as the carriage was moving.

"What's your name?"

"Call me Lillian, my lady," the girl said humbly.

Thor nodded and began to explain.

"The reason I brought you out is because there are some things I want to ask you."

Do you know about the Dragon Country?

Upon hearing the words "Dragon Country," Lillian trembled, never expecting Thor to ask such a question.

She came here from the Dragon Kingdom in search of an important person.

I just found out that the other party was arrested and taken to the church, and I was just about to go to the church to find him.

As a result, he accidentally wandered into the slave market and walked right into a trap.

Lillian would never reveal this information to a stranger.

"Never heard of it, the Land of Dragons or anything like that."

"So where did you come from?" Thor asked.

Lillian was truly stumped by the question.

"I don't know, I have amnesia," she made up an excuse.

"So, even though you've lost your memory, you still subconsciously get nervous when you hear the name of the Dragon Kingdom, just like you did just now?" Thor asked.

"Yes...yes..."

Lillian was also feeling a little guilty, afraid that if she asked any more questions, she would be exposed. Fortunately, Thor stopped asking.

......

When the carriage arrived at its destination, Thor led Lillian out of the carriage and headed towards the front door.

At the doorstep, Yulia, dressed in a black maid's dress, waited anxiously, looking around.

At that moment, she spotted Thor returning and quickly ran towards him.

Even though Thor was surrounded by her own kind, her gaze could never leave Thor.

"Great! Young Master, you're finally back!"

Julia stood in front of Thor, a bright smile on her face.

Thor understood how Julia felt at that moment and patted her head.

He pushed Lillian forward and introduced her to Julia:

"Yulia, her name is Lillian, and she is of your kind."

"You two should get along well, and don't bully her."

At this moment, Lillian was stunned, looking at Yulia with disbelief.

Yulia wasn't angry at being stared at like that; instead, she smiled sweetly.

"Hehe, young master, Lillian seems to like me a lot. She keeps staring at me."

Thor also glanced at Lillian.

Lillian looked like she was questioning the meaning of life.

"What's wrong? You've been staring at Yulia."

Lillian ignored Thor's questions and simply looked at Julia.

It wasn't until Thor patted her shoulder, and with that physical touch, that Lillian snapped out of her daze, her voice trembling.

"Understood, I will go with Yulia... sister..."

Thor felt sleepy, yawned, and said to Julia:

"Why don't you show her around and let her get acquainted with the place?"

"I'm going to take a nap."

Yulia nodded happily.

"Okay, okay."

She was delighted; she finally had a new companion.

"Oh, right."

Thor returned to his room.

Julia brought Lillian to the living room, bent down, and introduced her to her in an older sister's tone.

"His name is Thor, and you'll be his maid from now on."

"You can call him master, but he prefers to be called young master!"

Lillian was still in shock.

Whether she heard Julia's words or not, she just stared at her blankly.

"Is there something on my face?" Yulia asked, touching her cheek and pinching it.

Lillian shook her head.

Julia thought Lillian was just too nervous, so she held her shoulders and comforted her:

"Little Lillian, don't be nervous, Master is fine~"

Lillian didn't react much upon hearing this.

After several seconds, she nodded mechanically.

Yulia began to show her everything about the house.

"This is the living room, where everyone eats."

"This is the dog's food bowl, which needs to be filled before each meal."

"We have special dog food at home, don't use random food containers!"

"This is the kitchen; you'll have to learn to help out here!"

Yulia, full of energy, enthusiastically introduced everything about the house to her new sister.

After introducing the entire house, Julia stopped and asked:

"Is there anything you don't understand that you want to ask?"

"The housekeeper isn't home today, so you can just ask me."

Lillian did not answer the question.

She looked around to make sure no one was nearby.

He tiptoed to Thor's door and eavesdropped for a while, confirming that Thor was asleep.

Lillian took a deep breath, looked at Julia, and said reverently:

Let's run away together.

"Your Majesty."
