If he remembered correctly, Shen Yuan remembered that this was a girl with a very tragic fate.

She lost both her parents and lived with her younger sister in a village in the Kingdom of Re-Estij, relying on each other for survival. Later, she was captured as a concubine by the nobles of the kingdom.

After being toyed with for a while, she was sold to a brothel under the criminal organization "Eight Fingers" at a low price because of her beauty, with the intention of abandoning her.

There, he had to receive many guests with bad habits and suffered hellish torture.

Then, before being put into a bag and thrown outside, he subconsciously asked for help from Sebastian who was passing by, and thus saved his life.

Afterwards, he was kidnapped by Six-Arms and rescued again by Sebastian.

However, at this stage, this girl with a tragic fate has not been defiled yet, but it is estimated that she will be soon.

"Qi Yalei, do you know where this place is?" Shen Yuan asked the girl.

"...It's the lord's mansion." After a moment's silence, Tsuare replied fearfully.

She had known it from the moment she was kidnapped.

The lord took a fancy to her and threatened that if she dared to resist or escape, he would capture her sister to replace him. Resistance was useless and would bring devastating disaster to her family and the village.

Although Qiare was very desperate, she could only choose to obey the arrangement of fate.

As an ordinary commoner, she had no way of disobeying the nobles.

"Do you know me?" Shen Yuan saw a glimmer of anticipation in Qi Yalei's eyes.

"...No, I'm sorry." Tsuare shook her head cautiously.

"Then do you need my help?" Shen Yuan saw that Qi Yalei's soul flame was not as strong as before.

This meant that her fate was coming to an end, meaning death in just a few months.

When she heard these words, Tsuare's eyes gleamed with hope.

But it was only for a moment.

"I'm sorry, thank you for your kindness, but I volunteered to go to the lord's mansion."

Qi Yalei lowered her head, not daring to look at Shen Yuan, and spoke words against her will.

"Are you sure?"

"...Yes." After hesitating for a moment, Qiare's lips trembled, but she still insisted on her lie.

the reason is simple.

If she dared to run away, it would most likely be her family and everyone in the village who would suffer.

"That's such a pity." Shen Yuan shook his head.

"Thank you for your kindness...eh?" When Qi Yalei raised her head, she found that Shen Yuan had disappeared.

The carriage she was riding in gradually stopped and entered the lord's residence.

"Get out." The driver shouted rudely.

The tone was like scolding a slave.

Tsuare's body trembled slightly, and then she left the carriage under the servant's fierce gaze, looking up at the noble mansion which covered a large area.

"My Lord has been waiting for you for a long time. Come with me."

The servant waiting outside the door had a malicious smile on his face, as if he was looking forward to tasting the leftovers of the lord.

"Yes, it is."

Tsuare became even more nervous, but was forced to follow the servant in front.

"Don't be nervous. The lord is very good to his favorite concubine, unless you don't know how to please him."

The attendant practically foreshadowed Tsuare's fate.

But after hearing this, even Qiare, who knew nothing, could understand that she had no way out and naturally did not have the courage to refute.

Faced with the silent girl, the servant did not say anything else.

But before taking her to see the lord, he first went to a bathroom and instructed:

"You dirty thing, if you meet the Lord like this, he will definitely be unhappy! So, go wash yourself first, then change into that dress, and wait until the Lord has received an important person, then you can show yourself well."

"I understand." Since the servants were all busy now, Qiare went into the bathroom alone.

Take a shower and put on clean clothes.

Although Tsuare was only 16 years old, she knew very well what was going to happen to her next.

After all, wasn't the reason he was kidnapped because he was cute?

However, after Tsuare entered the bathroom.

She overheard the servants chatting outside the door, and it was about her.

"I didn't expect that such a beautiful woman could be found in such a small village. I wonder if we servants can have some soup as usual after the lord gets tired of playing with her."

"Of course, don't worry! In the past, we've always sold them to brothels. Just be gentle and don't break them."

"Hey hey hey."

Hearing the servants' words, Qiare closed her eyes tightly behind the door and shed tears of despair.

But she soon suppressed her fear and washed herself with lifeless eyes.

"By the way, do you know who that important figure the Lord just received is?"

While Tsuare was washing herself, the servants murmured quietly.

"Ah, I see! That high priest of the cult known as the Deathsinger, Karsus... I heard he went into hiding a while ago, but I didn't expect him to suddenly reappear at this critical moment. But judging by what the lord said, he wants to obtain a blessing from High Priest Karsus to avoid being attacked by the undead."

"Does this really work?"

"That's not something you and I can guess. Such important figures must have some abilities."

"Shh, that guy is coming out."

When Tsuare walked out of the bathroom with her head lowered, the servants ended their conversation and stared at her as if she were a corpse.

I have to say that Qiare is quite pretty.

Although she hasn't reached the level of a novel heroine, she's not far off.

"Come with me."

The attendant curled his lips and took Qiare to see the lord.

......

in the hall.

"Your Majesty, do you intend to have 24 troops?"

Shen Yuan appeared in the hall at some point, wearing the crown of death and a robe like the Dark Pope. He held a scepter in his hand and sat upright on an honorable chair, looking down at a slightly plump man in gorgeous robes in front of him.

"Yes, High Priest. The Kingdom is serious this time..."

The slightly plump, gorgeously dressed male lord looked at Shen Yuan in front of him with a little awe.

This was the first time he met the High Priest Karsas in person. Unlike ordinary magic casters, he had broad shoulders, a tall stature, and was full of power and oppression. The majesty between his brows was no less than that of the Pope of an ordinary church.

In the position of Death Singer, the person with the highest say belongs to the "High Priest".

Rather than saying that "High Priest" is a position, it is better to say that it is a profession. To be more precise, it is the "Priest of Death", a rare profession similar to the Necromancer.

"So, the king's request is that I command the magic chanter troops and chant a requiem when the Lich King's undead scourge strikes, right? As for the soldiers of the Baharus Empire, that has nothing to do with me. That's your kingdom's business."

"Ah, yes! That's right, High Priest!"

The lord had begun to lose the initiative in front of Shen Yuan, but fortunately he still clearly expressed the king's request.

"Okay, I agree."

Shen Yuan nodded and said, "We Deathsingers do not participate in any war. But the Lich King awakening the dead souls is a blasphemy against life. I will never allow this to happen!"

Shen Yuan cursed the Lich King's immorality and said that he would never forgive such an enemy of the living.

"My lord..." The servant approached cautiously, approached the gorgeously dressed man, and whispered in his ear.

"Oh!" the lord exclaimed in surprise.

Then he looked at Shen Yuan expectantly, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "High Priest, I've heard your magic is unrivaled and can prevent any evil spirits from approaching... I wonder if you could give someone like me a small 'blessing' to prevent being attacked by the undead? Of course, I can't let you waste your energy in vain!"

Having said this, the lord waved his hand, and the servant came with a girl who had washed and changed into new clothes.

"Hello, sir..." Qiare lowered her head timidly, her body tense, looking scared and stiff.

"It's her." Shen Yuan glanced at Qi Yalei and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"High Priest, do you know this guy?" The lord turned his eyes and then looked at the servant. The servant shook his head and spread his hands to indicate that he didn't know either.

"Eh?"

Qiare looked up in surprise. This voice sounded so familiar.

When she looked up at Shen Yuan, her eyes suddenly widened, as if she was a little surprised why he appeared here.

"I just saw her on the way here on Route 863. She was a lovely girl with sad eyes."

The moment she heard Shen Yuan's voice, Qi Yalei was stunned.

"I see. If the High Priest likes her, she's yours."

Seeing this scene, the lord suddenly laughed happily. It was totally worth it to exchange a cheap slave for a precious blessing of protection from the attacks of the undead.

"You are..." Qi Yalei stared at Shen Yuan blankly.

It seems that he hasn't reacted yet.

According to the lord, his next master will become this high priest.

"You look so lost."

As Shen Yuan approached, Qi Yalei instinctively took a half step back, and finally her back rested against the door.

Seeing the girl's terrified look, Shen Yuan knew that she was afraid of him and seemed to regard him as someone of the same kind as the lord.

But this is just overthinking.

If nothing else, at least he is much more handsome than the lord.

"My Lord, judging from her appearance, she seems to be very afraid of me."

But just when Qi Yalei was still in a daze, Shen Yuan turned around, as if asking the lord the reason.

"Damn it, you have no sense at all!"

The lord cursed inwardly and almost slapped one of his servants, as if blaming him for not educating him well.

"Uh?"

This situation made Qi Yalei confused for a moment, and then she looked at Shen Yuan.

She was filled with confusion, but found that Shen Yuan ignored her, opened the door and prepared to leave.

The girl's eyes widened instantly.

It was obvious that he was preparing to leave, and seeing the murderous eyes of the lord and his servants, Qi Yalei knew that if Shen Yuan left here, she might not live beyond tomorrow.

Although she was a little confused, she was not so stupid that she couldn't understand the situation.

If you hinder the lord from receiving the 'blessing', it is not a problem that can be solved by a few whips.

"Please wait a moment!" Qi Yalei subconsciously opened her arms and stopped Shen Yuan.

"What's the matter?" Shen Yuan looked at her, clearly waiting for something, although she had already guessed what would happen next.

"Can you take me with you..."

Tsuare's words were filled with pleading.

"why?"

"Eh? Didn't you ask me before if I needed help..."

Tsuare asked weakly.

"Oh, before was before, and now is now. You rejected a stranger's kindness, and now you ask him to help you. There are not so many good things in the world, right?"

Shen Yuan said calmly.
