Forced to become a delicate companion of a paranoid lord

The temperature in Sunset City in mid-May is very comfortable in the morning and evening, but from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., the temperature will be much higher than in the morning and evening due to the strong sunlight.

Xie Wei took off his cold-proof gear before going out in the morning, but he still wore the Parasol-style wizard robe. However, the cashmere sweater and fur jacket that were originally used to keep warm were replaced with a silk base shirt.

After changing out of his winter clothes, Xie Wei looked even thinner, squatting in the corner like a tiny figure.

Dagambie was too embarrassed to sit on his shoulders, and would float in the air for a while from time to time.

Although he knew that he was weightless, Dagumbi was still worried that the little magician would be crushed by him.

After the trainer left, Xie Wei approached the iron cage where the Parasol was imprisoned again.

There were dozens of cages in the backyard of the Colosseum, containing many slaves. Different races were kept in the same cage, so they were easy to distinguish.

When Xie Wei followed the trainer here, he saw another yard with monster cages. The number of monsters was less than that of slaves, with only a dozen cages.

But in general, the number of Parasos slaves and monsters is less than that of other races, and they are relatively rare slaves. In the past, Parasos were basically not seen in the slave market. They can be seen in the past two years, but the number is also very small.

But even with such a small number, the Palazzo people did not receive much preferential treatment, because they were the slaves who could survive the longest and had the highest endurance. Even if they died, they would die in the Colosseum after fighting with all their might. Almost no Palazzo people would commit suicide because they could not endure the cruel torture.

The slave contract at that time could not completely prevent slaves from committing suicide. It could only cause extreme pain to slaves who wanted to commit suicide through prohibitions. As long as the slaves overcame their fear of pain, they could commit suicide.

Therefore, slaves often choose eternal liberation in extremely desperate situations.

Sal once told Shevi that the Parasau people have a strong desire to survive. Except for the cubs, most Parasau people will not attempt to commit suicide unless it is absolutely necessary.

Because young and adult Paraso people firmly believe that as long as they are alive, they can return to the snowfield one day. After death, the soul will remain where it is. The soul cannot find the way home, and the tribesmen have no way to bring their souls back to the Far North Territory, so they will try their best to live.

Only if they stay alive can they go home.

Because the cubs are too young, they are very fragile both physically and mentally. When the pain accumulates to a certain level, they will begin to desire death and relief.

Therefore, among the children who were abducted that year, only Thrall, who was under the age of 8, survived and returned to the Far North Territory.

"Dagumbi, what exactly is the trial I need to complete? I can't do anything, can I?"

Xie Wei couldn't see clearly what the cub surrounded by the Parasau people looked like. He only knew that everyone wanted the child to survive and was doing their best to protect him.

"..."

Dagambie didn't know how to answer Xie Wei's question, so he chose to remain silent again this time.

I don’t know if it’s because they fear the power of the Parasos, but the slave contract of the Parasos is a black totem and is wrapped around the neck.

They were also given very little food and water.

From the slaves' whispered conversations, Xie Wei obtained some information, for example, the trainers would provide them with food once or twice a day, and water was always available, but the Parasos would usually be given food once every two days. When the Parasos were not needed, they would even be provided with food once every four or five days. Occasionally, when the Parasos went to the Colosseum, they would be provided with sufficient food.

The slaves also said that there was a beautiful Paraso woman in the cage where the Paraso was previously held, who died two days ago. Since that day, the trainer has not given the Paraso any food.

Because the owner of the Colosseum, Mr. Raman, gave an order to punish the people of Palazzo and make them behave themselves.

This was the only cage containing a Parasol in the yard, and there was only one child in the cage.

The guards said a six-year-old Parasol cub would be coming down in the afternoon, and Shevy looked at the little black head that would occasionally appear.

He felt very sad because he couldn't get him out of the cage.

There was a magic circle engraved on the iron bars of the cage. Unless he used offensive magic, he could not open the cage. Even if he opened the cage, he would not be able to leave the Colosseum with the Palazzo people who were bound by the slave contract.

Xie Wei always knew that he was not strong enough, but there was never a moment when he felt so disgusted with himself for being so weak.

Squatting near the cage, Xie Wei recalled what he had done after coming to the Far North Territory. He wondered, if he had put recalling his magical talent first, would he be able to break the slave contract now?

"This kind of slave contract cannot be dissolved unless the owner of the Colosseum is willing to do so."

The hoarse words reached Xie Wei's ears and interrupted his thoughts. He looked up at Dagumbi, but Dagumbi turned his head away and didn't look at him or the cage.

Xie Wei turned his gaze back and looked at the Parasauan who had his back to him.

Then he leaned closer and whispered tentatively: "But I heard that the contract will be automatically terminated after the slave owner dies."

"That was before. Now there is an additional restriction in the contract of the Parasau people. If the slave owner dies, the slaves bound by the contract will also die. Because someone saved many of our people by killing the slave owners before."

The patrolling guards and the slaves in the surrounding cages could not understand the language of the Parasos. In the not-so-quiet place, only the Parasos with their sensitive five senses could hear Xie Wei's voice.

The Parasau people noticed Xie Wei's approach but thought they were hallucinating due to hunger. After hearing Xie Wei's response, a hot light burned in their eyes, but soon this light disappeared after seeing the slave contracts on each other's necks.

But unlike the cubs with dull eyes, the adult Parasau people did not feel despair, but instead had a stronger desire to live.

The "our people" said by the Paraso man who was leaning against the iron railing with his back to him sounded to Xie Wei as if he was also a Paraso man.

As if knowing his doubts, another Parasau man said: "You smell like polar frost flowers. In winter, priests will mix red frost flowers with animal oil and apply it to the exposed skin of the cubs. After a long time, the cubs will have some frost flower fragrance on their bodies.

People outside the Far North Territory can't use this kind of thing, and they can't get Lingshuang Flower. So when you approached the cage just now, we discovered your presence, but don't worry about being discovered by others because of this smell. You cover it up very well. If you weren't too close, we wouldn't be able to smell it. "

"Little guy, who brought you here? Go back and tell the person who brought you out of the snowfield about the slave contract. Don't come here again. Let the adults figure out a solution for this matter."

It was also the first time that Xie Wei knew that the ointment that Sal applied to him every day was something only children in the Far North would apply.

He sat beside the cage and carefully observed the slave contract on the neck of the Parasau man without saying anything. The Parasau man in the cage knew that he had not left yet, so he stopped trying to persuade him and continued to coax the cub that refused to eat.

The temperature was rising, and the Paraso people were obviously suffering more in the cages than the other slaves who still had water to drink.

Xie Wei condensed the water in his leather water bag into ice cubes and quietly gave them to the Parasau people.

The Paraso man who got the ice cubes passed it to another person calmly, and the man passed it from one person to another. In a few minutes, everyone got a few ice cubes, and then ate them without hesitation.

The water Xie Wei carried with him was mixed with a physical strength potion, so these ice cubes could not only temporarily relieve their thirst, but also provide them with some strength.

When Dagambie saw this, he did not stop Xie Wei, but turned around and pretended that he did not see it.

Anyway, the predetermined ending will not be changed by these small ice cubes...

Just when the Paraso people were trying to pry open the cub's teeth and force the ice cube into it, several animal trainers suddenly walked towards the cage.

The Parasau people in the cage held the ice in their palms, and then several people blocked the cubs behind them again.

Xie Wei was pulled into a corner by Dagambie's wizard robe, and then watched the trainers pull the chains on the cage to pull the adult Parasau people away, and then use long-handled animal traps to catch the black-haired boy and pull the child out of the cage.

A guard carrying a wooden barrel pulled the boy's hair and made him lift his face up, then stuffed a dirty wooden funnel into the child's throat. He then picked up the wooden barrel in his hand, poured some black sticky substance into the funnel, kicked the boy twice, and yelled at the boy to swallow the food quickly.

The boy's lifeless silver-gray eyes suddenly met Xie Wei's during the struggle. Without the cover of his hair or any other obstruction, Xie Wei finally saw the boy's appearance clearly. He tried desperately to get closer to the boy, but under the restriction of Dagambie's law power, he could not take a single step forward.

"Sal? ... It's Sal..."

"Dagumbi! That's Sal——!"

"He is Thrall! Please let me through, please... let me through... He is Thrall..."

"He is Sal... Please..."

The golden light enveloped Shevi, and in the corner where no one could see him, only Dagambie could hear his heart-wrenching sobs.

Dagambie reached out to wipe Shevi's tears, but the tears flowed through his fingers and fell to the ground.

He said: "Your magic power is almost at its limit. Now go back to the hotel, okay?"
