Forced to become a delicate companion of a paranoid lord

After the new law was implemented in the Hesedon Empire, the Colosseum's motorcades could no longer appear in large cities undisguised as before, and they were no longer allowed to stay in the city for gladiatorial performances.

The iron cages holding the gladiators in the Colosseum's motorcade were covered with wooden boards and thick oilcloth. The smell from the oilcloth affected Thrall's excellent sense of smell, and he could rarely smell His scent during the day.

But He would come to him every night and sleep with him in the simple cage.

Thrall, who is about to turn 10, can't remember how he learned the common language of the continent and the dialects of some regions. It seems that after waking up one day, he suddenly could understand what the guards said.

After the guards of the Colosseum found out that he could understand their language, their attitude towards him became much better. They were not as fierce as before, and would occasionally talk to him. Now they would even secretly share their food with him.

When he was injured and not required to leave the field, Andrew, the captain of the guard squad, would read folk tales to him and occasionally teach him to write.

It has been more than a month since Sal left the southeastern region. Andrew said that during the time the convoy is in the empire, they must sit in the cages and play obediently, and must not make the trainer angry, because if they make the trainer angry, they will not be able to get the potion.

Without the medicine, he would feel very uncomfortable and unable to control his behavior, becoming very fierce and ugly.

He was already very dirty, with messy hair and dirt under his nails. What if He saw his ferocious and ugly appearance and became disgusted with him and left him?

Thrall knew that the potion was made by the magician in the Colosseum who treated painful wounds. The tamer said that the potion could make him stronger and he would not feel pain when injured.

But in reality, when the medicine loses its effect, the pain in the wound will torture him twice as much.

Every time the trainer came with a potion, he would watch him drink it before leaving. Ever since Andrew told him that many gladiators died from this potion, Thrall drank the potion in front of the trainer, and would secretly spit out part of it after the trainer left.

He thought that doing so would allow him to live longer, and he wanted to stay alive because only by staying alive could he go home.

When he first vomited the medicine, after a certain period of time, he felt like bugs were gnawing at his flesh and blood, and it became difficult for him to control his behavior. He could only try his best to endure it, and when he couldn't bear it any more, he would write the names of his parents and siblings with his fingers, over and over again, and he persisted like this.

Fiddling with the wooden chessboard made by Andrew, Sal was trying hard to stare at the black-haired traveling merchant who was following Andrew through the gap between the wooden boards.

He knew that the black-haired traveling merchant was Him.

The black-haired traveling merchant smelled exactly like him.

971 7 Month 13 Day.

The Colosseum's convoy left the Heisedon Empire. The Colosseum guard who met Xie Wei because of picking Cecilia roses told Xie Wei that the Colosseum's convoy would return to Sunset City before April next year.

971 8 Month 24 Day.

The magician who created the banned potion [Tears of the Moon Goddess] died suddenly after swallowing a large amount of experimental potion while improving the potion.

971 9 Month 16 Day.

The trainers discovered that Thrall had secretly spit out half of the banned potion, and they used a branding iron to burn several animal marks on Thrall's back as punishment.

971 10 Month 4 Day.

While visiting a magician, Xie Wei met the young teacher Rafa. The young teacher Rafa had a very awkward personality and was not as frank as he was later.

971 11 Month 13 Day.

During a fight, Thrall had two of his ribs broken by a monster. The Colosseum did not assign a magician to treat him, but the tamer came to check on Thrall's injuries every day.

Sal couldn't sleep at night because of the pain, but Xie Wei couldn't treat him secretly because the Colosseum did this every once in a while, not to punish Sal or to torture him intentionally, but to record how quickly he recovered on his own.

971 12 Month 17 Day.

The Colosseum sold Thrall to a noble lord for half a month. Xie Wei discovered that the noble lord was a perverted lunatic, so with the help of Dagambie, he hid himself in the noble lord's mansion, disguised as a vengeful spirit and frightened the noble lord for half a month, causing the noble lord to be in a trance and listless all day long. He only remembered Thrall when the Colosseum sent someone to take Thrall back, but by then he had lost interest in Thrall.

972 2 Month 11 Day.

The familiar sent by Mr. Mason brought back the last letter from the Empire. There were only a few hand-drawn floor plans in the envelope. After carefully looking through them, Xie Wei discovered that the building shown on the floor plans seemed to be an ancient relic, and this ancient relic was actually on Hutt Island.

972 3 Month 2 Day.

On the way to Sunset City, Xie Wei met an elderly female magician.

Xie Wei couldn't tell whether the magician who was stronger than him had used magic to change his appearance. But he could recognize at a glance that the elderly magician was his mother.

Because only his mother would look at him with such gentle yet restrained eyes.

Xie Wei didn't know why his mother disguised herself as a stranger and went to Sunset City with him, but just like the brief encounter with his father before, he also cherished his second encounter with his mother.

……

“After countless improvements, this banned potion has evolved into many different types of potions, which are now collectively referred to as [Tears of the Moon Goddess].

The Tears of the Moon Goddess that the Colosseum gave to the gladiators contained more than five times more Full Moon Vine juice per potion than other potions."

Xie Wei placed the various [Tears of the Moon Goddess] he had collected on the table and continued.

"I visited many magicians and pharmacists, and they all told me that even if we could analyze what drugs are used in the potion, collect them, and conduct targeted analysis and experiments based on the characteristics of each drug, it would be difficult to produce a soothing agent without side effects and that can help people completely quit using [Tears of the Moon Goddess] within ten years..."

Stroking the map scroll spread out on the table, Xie Wei reached out and poked Dagambie who was sitting on the map.

"But I don't have that much time, do I, Dagumbi?"

On the first day of coming to this world after starting the secret trial, Xie Wei felt that Dagambi had hidden a lot of things from him.

Later, when they arrived in Bellagio, Dagambie would slip away from him from time to time. During that time, Xie Wei had some other guesses, but now Xie Wei is basically certain.

Earlier, Dagambie had already known his mother, and there might have been some agreement or deal between them. His coming here was most likely related to his mother.
