Farm No. 47

In the warehouse.

It was supposed to be a place to store goods, but now it had been transformed into the residence of 30 to 40 girls. There were no lights or torches. Only with the faint moonlight shining through the window could one see the girls wrapped tightly in thin blankets on the bunks that looked like concentration camps.

“Sister Eri, it hurts…” Two of the beds were empty. Looking closely, two girls were sitting under the window where the moonlight was the brightest.

They were all dressed in simple linen clothes, even more shabby than Vivian in the countryside. The older ones were carefully pushing away the backs of their companions.

Under the moonlight, the fair back of a young girl who was supposed to be in her prime was now covered in large bruises.

Even though the older girl’s movements were already very gentle, when she accidentally touched it, her companion still whimpered in pain.

.. Those bastards!” The source of the bruise was the frequent violent beatings. As a pharmacist, Eri could tell at a glance that she gritted her teeth and let out an angry voice.

But soon, she took out some herbs that she had secretly picked near the manor from a small cloth bag.

‘ EnEndure, endure, endure, and persevere for a while. After applying the medicine, it will be much better.” “Eri comforted her companion while putting the herb in her mouth.

She didn’t have any medicine tools at hand, so she could only use the most primitive method. She used her teeth and saliva to mix the herbs, and finally formed an ointment to apply to her companion’s wound.

“Thank… Thank you, Sister Eri…” When the simple ointment was applied, a cool feeling immediately came from his back, greatly relieving the burning pain.

From this, it could be seen how amazing the female apothecary was. Even in such a difficult environment, she could still use the limited resources at hand to treat patients and save people.

Ever since Eri’s sister came, everyone’s torturous life seemed to have a bit of a breather. The young girl wanted to express her gratitude, but as she spoke, it turned into sobbing.

“Sob… Sister Eri, we… Can we still go out? I, I don’t want to be a wizard anymore, I… I just want to go back. I miss home so much. I miss my mother, I miss my father…”

“It’s okay, it’s okay.” Eri’s heart ached for the girl, and she held the crying girl in her arms.

“We will definitely get out of here.”

Even if she didn’t believe it herself, Eri had to hold back her words in order to comfort her. However, she knew better than anyone else the cruel truth and shady dealings here.

They had captured beautiful women from the common people under the pretext of being the candidates for the Divine Wizard, or, like her, they had been accused of causing trouble in the Divine Wizard election because they had boycotted drinks that could cause strange diseases. They had been imprisoned in a secret manor on White Plume Island.

After nearly a month of observation, Eri had gradually figured out the nature of the manor. At first, she thought that profiteers were colluding with the local Sanshang of Baengnyeong Island to cause trouble, but the more she learned, the more frightened she became.

Eri realized that they seemed to be treated as a kind of commodity, and a portion of them would be taken out regularly and sent to an unknown place.

During the waiting time of the “delivery”, they would not let them off. Every day, they would be assigned a lot of labor work in the manor.

This manor did not employ many servants because they were the best free laborers.

Whether it was the guards or the people in the manor, they were all bullied in various ways. It was even better to be beaten and scolded like this. What was worse was being called out alone in the middle of the night..

Eri’s medical skills could only treat the physical body, but she had no way to treat mental illnesses. Almost every girl who was called away alone would return after a few days. The various traces on their bodies were unimaginable.

It was difficult to imagine what kind of perverted torture they had experienced.

Most of the girls would become like walking corpses, their eyes losing their luster. Some of them would choose to end their lives on the night after they returned.

Eri was still hopeful that there would be other people on the Thousand Islands and that Gong Si would notice the complete darkness on White Plume Island.

In the end, it wasn’t until a young girl named ” Kaho ” was also detained and sent here that Eri felt as if the sky had collapsed. She also realized just how far the evil claws of these dark forces had reached.

Perhaps the other young girls who had been captured didn’t know this, but Eri knew that this Kaho was the daughter of an extremely prestigious doyen in the

Kanda-samurai.

Even the daughter of such a big shot had fallen to such a state. Eri did not dare to imagine how powerful the other party was in the Thousand Islands.

What made her even more desperate was last night.

Kaho had been called out by someone in the manor alone that night, and she had yet to return today.

“Lord Gong Si…You… Have you abandoned us…”

Looking up at the cold iron window of the warehouse that looked like a prison, the female apothecary faced the bright and beautiful moon in the night sky. In the cold and humid warehouse, she prayed in a hoarse voice.

Perhaps God had not abandoned her.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from outside the window. A few minutes later, the locked back door of the warehouse creaked open.

Eri initially thought that those bastards were here to ” call people alone ” again, but she thought that was not right. Those people had always been big and unrestrained, and they came directly from the front door..
