On the way back, Martina was carried on Nora's back because she had a leg injury and could not move easily.

Reiner was dragging a set of leather armor that he had taken from a goblin. He planned to take it to the Adventurer's Guild to see if he could sell it for some money.

After a day, he finally saw the city of Melode in the distance.

Reiner planned to take her to get the slave stamp first, and then get the reward after completing the task.

At this moment, a voice of his heart floated into his ears.

(When can I eat? I’m so hungry…)

Reiner glanced back at Martina and their eyes met.

It wasn't my intention to starve her.

It’s just that this guy eats too much.

She had to eat at least two pieces of black bread with every meal.

This time, they only brought enough food for three days.

It is noon now, and the few of them have not eaten anything since this morning.

The two demi-humans' stomachs kept growling.

Martina knew that she ate a lot, and she felt a little embarrassed to ask for more.

"Wait a little longer. I'll buy you something to eat when we get to the city."

Martina nodded but said nothing.

Soon the three of them entered the city, and more people gathered around them.

Martina's inner voice kept floating into Reiner's head.

There are so many people… There are people everywhere… It’s over… I’m so stupid. I actually followed him. Now I can’t escape even if I want to.

Reiner glanced back at her, then went to the bakery and bought some black bread. He then handed the bag to Martina and said, "Eat it."

She blinked, thought no more, and started to eat the black bread in big mouthfuls.

During this period, Reiner also went to the Adventurer's Guild to sell his leather armor, but it turned out that this thing was not worth much at all, and a set was only sold for ten copper coins.

Reiner sighed and took the two of them to the slave market.

Before she got close, Martina seemed to sense something and began to struggle.

"Where are we going?"

"Slave market." Reiner said soothingly, "Don't worry, I won't sell you. We're only going to the slave market to sign a contract."

Nora also turned her head and said to her: "Master will not lie to you, don't worry."

Martina stopped talking, her mind still wandering.

After entering the slave market, the scene that came into view made her feel terrified.

A group of Asians stood on the platform for the nobles to choose from.

If you displease the slave traders, you will be whipped until your skin is torn and your flesh is exposed.

In the corner, dozens of subhuman corpses, covered in maggots, were piled up.

Martina's mental state seemed to be not good, and she was trembling all over with fear.

Nora was stronger than her. She did not feel scared when she saw these scenes. Instead, she cursed the slave traders in her heart.

"Don't be afraid, I won't sell you out."

Martina still didn't say anything, but kept praying silently in her heart.

(Mom and Dad bless you...)

Reiner grabbed a slave trader and explained his purpose to him, then he was taken to the basement.

Martina sat on the chair, holding Nora's thighs tightly with both hands and unwilling to let go.

The slave trader showed great interest in her: "Where did you buy this slave? He looks good.

Their limbs are long and powerful, making them ideal for plowing the fields or training warriors.

This face is also a beauty. If she wasn't a horse breed and was a little shorter, there would definitely be a noble who would pay a high price for her."

After saying this, the slave trader showed a lewd smile.

Nora and Martina could not understand the human language.

They looked at Reiner uneasily, and doubts began to arise in their hearts.
