Chapter 9 First Follower

“No!”

“Help!”

The slums are characterized by a large number of people and narrow streets.

As soon as the city wall was broken, all the people scurried around like headless flies. The monsters densely poured in from the gap and the pressure from the black wave became as thick as mud. In the blink of an eye, the residents began dying under the claws of the monsters.

The outer city is no longer safe. Some of the smarter residents planned their escape into the inner city. At this time, only the inner city walls are still intact and guarded by senior professionals, meaning the inner city is indeed much safer. However, Elaine had no plans for heading into the inner city. Usually, only aristocrats and big businessmen are allowed to enter the inner city. In this emergency situation, it’s even more impossible for the city lord to allow the poor to enter.

The best plan of action is to find a place to hold up and ride through this wave.

Elaine is very familiar with the slums and soon found a suitable place to hold up. The place is backed up against the city wall, and the surrounding houses were relatively solid. It was also some distance away from the breach, which was the best place she could find on such short notice.

As the monsters came into view.

Elaine often remembers overhearing her parents talk about monsters when she was a child. But this was her first time seeing them. The appearance of these monsters is different from the descriptions she recalls. The only common features they have are being ferocious, ugly, and exuding a frightening aura. It’s said these monsters are dark creatures sent by evil gods to invade the world.

A group of spiders swooped in. They are the size of babies and all of them are purple and black with corrosive liquid dripping from their jaws with every hiss.

This is the lowest-ranking demon spider, but they are still terrifying monsters to the ordinary residents. Its venom is strong and corrosive and many soldiers will end up being poisoned if they don’t pay careful attention.

Some information flash through Elaine’s mind about the common characteristics of this dark creature. Then, she stretched out her hands to gather the surrounding ice elements. For the first time since her awakening, she actually began casting a spell.

The temperature around her suddenly dropped and the Ice Spike began condensing in the palm of her hand.

Bang! Boom!

The Ice Spike ran through the demon spider and then broke into ice shards, freezing each of the demon spiders around.

A mage like her has an advantage when dealing with such weak, but numerous, dark creatures.

However, the number of demon spiders is too much, and there is an endless stream of people screaming that she hears from time to time.

One minute.

Two minutes.

Five minutes…

Backed up against the city wall, this area is relatively safe and hasn’t encountered those terrible monsters from the black wave. However, Elaine has turned pale from just dealing with these demon spiders. Her magic has almost completely been exhausted, but her situation hasn’t improved at all. She also saw that the soldiers on the city wall have almost all died in battle.

Such a tragedy!

Three years ago, she only knew the demon wave was terrible. Only now did she deeply realize a sense of powerlessness…

In the distance, fighting continues raging on in the inner city while there was no movement seen from the outer city. Elaine doesn’t know how many survivors are left in the outer city, but she knows she can no longer cast any more first order spells. She will end up facing the same fate as those who have already fallen, just waiting to be swallowed up by the monsters.

Is she willing to die like this…?

If she hadn’t awakened three years ago, she would’ve already died long ago. However…

The demon spiders pounced on her, and the venom began corroding her cloak. As the liquid poured inch by inch onto her skin, the severe pain struck her nerves.

Rather than calling out, Elaine instead became even calmer…

Ting—.

There was a ripple before her calm eyes.

“……Are you willing to become a follower of the lord? Yes / No?”

An unfurling gold shining leather scroll appeared floating in front of her as if it was dispersing the boundless darkness.

Transportation through time and space.

In a moment, Elaine’s eyes widened at the sight. The overwhelming black wave was gone, and the sound of the fighting and screaming had disappeared. What appeared before her eyes was a pub.

“I…”

She was surprised to find she no longer felt any pain. Although her clothes were still tattered, her skin was intact, and all of her injuries were healed. She even found that magic had filled her body and she has returned to her best state in an instant.

Am I dreaming…?

Elaine slightly pinched herself and quickly realized that everything before her is real. This wasn’t heaven or hell. As the contract stated, this is another world.

She was transported here as a follower and will have a fresh start.

The orange light around her gave off a soft glow, with only silence around. Elaine looked up and finally fixed her eyes upon a person not far away—a young man with a warm smile on his face.

She was stunned, then she came forward and knelt down on one knee.

…………

The illusory person on the rune array turned real. The girl was dressed in rags, and the originally broad cloak had turned into strips of cloth strewn on her blood-stained body.

Tang Yu noticed the girl seemed to be in a trance. As he was getting ready to step forward, his foot suddenly stopped before being raised mid-air…

As a lord in the face of his first follower and the other party being a girl, what should he say at this time?

Tang Yu is a little upset that he hasn’t come up with a script in advance. He couldn’t address her as woman… Perhaps he can say hello comrade or ask how are you doing, comrade?

This doesn’t seem to work.

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw the drinks shining on the wine cabinet. Tang Yu’s eyes brighten at this moment as he stepped forward to take a bottle to hand it over to her.

“Would you like a drink?”

Just then, Elaine came forward and knelt down on one knee.

The atmosphere once again became extremely awkward…

A few minutes later.

Elaine followed the lord’s footsteps and still felt everything was a dream.

First, she narrowly escaped from death, and then she was brought to this world by a summoning ceremony. There was also information forcefully instilled into her mind by the power of the contract. But she felt no discomfort from this at all. The language and common sense of this world seemed to have been ingrained into her daily habits.

It was for this reason that she was surprised. Now, under the leadership of the lord, she was led to this castle.

As a child who grew up in the slum area, Elaine has never seen a place like this. This castle is resplendent and magnificent, but her body is still dirty all over. By walking into this place, it seemed as if she was tarnishing a picturesque portrait.

She dared not enter this place on her own but was forcefully dragged in by the lord. She left black footprints on the floor all the way through the halls until she came into a bright spacious room.

“This is the bathroom… The clothes are on the shelf over there. They may not fit you very well, but you’ll have to make do and wear them first… Food is unavailable at the moment, I’ll go prepare some and it’ll be almost ready when you come out…”

The door closed with a click, but Elaine’s mind echoed the lord’s words. Her eyes were first captured by the sight of such a beautiful room.

Her face is still in a trance as she recalls her whole life. Since the death of her parents, her life has completely plunged into darkness. Being bullied, ostracized and constantly surrounded by malicious people. But today, she felt warmth again.

Elaine blinked, and she couldn’t help the tears welling up in her eyes. She took off her tattered clothes and walked into the warm bath. The water flowed over her knees, and what came to mind was the warm smile of the lord.

Gradually, Elaine sat down as the water flowed past her shoulders, washing away the filth.

She closed her eyes and found a renewed sense of faith in her heart.

…………

Tang Yu was busy in the kitchen while humming a tune.

He doesn’t know how to cook. At most, he can only cook some instant noodles. Fortunately, he has all kinds of very advanced household appliances in the castle… Although Tang Yu messed up a few times while cooking, he was still able to cook a meal to eat.

Back to the second floor, he stared intensely at the closed bathroom door, listening to the sounds of splashing water coming from the inside. Tang Yu was somewhat distracted at this moment.

Although Elaine’s cloak was in tatters, her whole person seemed to have been caked in mud. Her body looked like it just escaped a miserable situation, so he didn’t get a good look at Elaine’s appearance. He just listened to the sound of her voice. It sounded clear and melodious.

He thought Elaine would spend more time in the bathroom. But soon, with a click, the bathroom door opened as the dense fog spread out.

Suddenly, Tang Yu had a kind of expectation.

A white foot appeared in his line of sight as if it were carved from the most exquisite ivory… Following his point of view, it points towards him.

Tang Yu unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Elaine at this time is like an elf walking out of a picture scroll. She has long sky-blue hair, with her hair almost hanging down to her waist. The ends of her hair haven’t completely dried, and water droplets drip from the tips. Her small face is flushed, and her skin is white and smooth, sparkling like dazzling ice crystals.

A large men’s coat was worn by Elaine, covering her delicate body. However, a pair of glistening white thighs were almost exposed, seemingly wriggling uneasily.

At this time, Tang Yu’s blood surged and he only felt the needed to supplement with more nutrition.
