The day when I was forcibly bound by an NPC

"Eh? I'm not a mouse, I'm here to give you something..."

Jiang Zhaonian explained, but the mage didn't listen to what he said, just waved his hand, and the ice cage turned into a chain, one end tightly bound his two hands, and the other end was held by the mage in his own hand .

Holding the material in one hand, the mage wrapped the chain twice around his wrist with the other hand, opened the gate, and walked into the courtyard without intentionally dragging Jiang Zhaonian, as if ignoring such a big person.

But Jiang Zhaonian didn't stand in a daze, he hastily chased after two steps, followed closely behind the mage and walked in.

The mage casually wrapped the chain around the pillar in front of the main house. According to the usual habits, he would have to deal with this reckless intruder first, but the materials collected today are rare and delicate, so the treatment of this person can only be postponed. back.

He freed his hand and walked into the studio in the side room with the materials in his arms.

Jiang Zhaonian still didn't react, and followed him for a while, until he was caught by chains and couldn't move forward, only then did he realize his situation belatedly.

He struggled twice and found that the chain was tightly wound, so he stopped wasting his efforts and tiptoed to the direction where the mage entered and began to shout.

"No, Mister Mage, you made a mistake, I'm not a bad person!"

The mage put a few fresh plants on the chopping board, the blade fell, and the roots, stems and leaves were strictly separated.

"I'm really here to give you something, everyone has prepared a lot of gifts for you!"

'Tsk, still a liar. '

Thinking so, the mage cut out a few purple fibers from the stem, carefully packed them into a long glass bottle, and filled the glass bottle with an unknown solution. He put the bottle back horizontally in a cool corner of the shelf.

"I left the gift in the forest. I really didn't have the strength to come here by myself."

' is a useless liar. '

The mage dropped a few white crystals into a device and turned to dispose of a pile of washed beetles.After he collected the venom of those bugs, the guys outside probably saw that it was useless to explain, and started to let themselves go.

"Mr. Mage, Mr. Mage who is wise and mighty, Mr. Mage with sharp eyes, you must be able to see my pure, simple and good nature through the appearance!"

'tsk. 'The mage narrowed his eyes slightly.

He carefully collected the venom and threw the bug's body into the trash can.The equipment stopped working, and the mage took out the small bottle hanging under the equipment. Some white crystal powder was piled inside, and the bottle was full.

He held up the water drop bottle and shook it for a moment to observe, before placing it on the top shelf with satisfaction.

Outside the house, Jiang Zhaonian had already given up on himself, and Xianyu was paralyzed by the pillar, sighing melancholy.

He really didn't expect that the favorability of this game would affect the mission.Well, in the current situation, I hit the wrong start at the beginning, and the favorability value of the task object fell to negative, what should I do if I get stuck here.

His physical strength had already dropped to the alert level, and it turned into a blinding red, flickering non-stop.The life value originally dropped continuously and slowly, but due to the change of exhaustion of physical strength, the speed of reduction has increased significantly.If the mage doesn't come out, I'm afraid he will be consumed to death in this place.

I don't know if I die here, will I really die like in reality, or will I be resurrected like a game?

Jiang Zhaonian didn't dare to risk his life.

But the mage didn't show up for a long time, and he didn't know how to proceed to the next step.

After being silent for a while, he pressed his head against the pillar in frustration, sucked the snot that seemed to be coming out, and said, "Even if you don't believe me...you can deal with me whatever you want, but now you can give me something to eat." Is it? I don't feel well, I might die in a second."

The mage's hand shaking the mushroom paused imperceptibly for a moment, but he followed up with the previous movement.

"Tsk." It's really troublesome.

Looking at the spore powder that fell out of the box, the mage frowned viciously, and then slowly let go.

His movements became rough, and he used the brush to sweep the mushrooms vigorously. After brushing vigorously a few times, he threw the mushrooms aside after confiscating the spores, grabbed the box and pushed it into the corner of the workbench against the wall.

The mage tore off his gloves twice and threw them into the trash can before walking outside.

Hearing the movement, Jiang Zhaonian got up in surprise and said, "Mr. Master, you have finally come out!"

The mage didn't speak, and walked towards him with that impatient expression.

Jiang Zhaonian quickly said: "Mr. Master, I really just came to give you a gift, everyone sent you a lot of things from the village!"

The mage stood still in front of him, and when he heard what he said, he showed the first smile that was born out of fun since we met.

He circled around, slowly took off the chain from the colonnade, looked at Jiang Zhaonian: "You don't seem to be clear, there are only two types of visitors here."

Jiang Zhaonian looked at him with some doubts.The inexplicable atmosphere made him hold his breath slightly.

"Except for the invaders, the slaves."

"slave???"

"Since you don't admit that you are an intruder, tell yourself, which identity are you?"

"I, this..." Jiang Zhaonian slammed his mouth, unable to answer.He was confused for a moment, and soon realized that he was taken away by the mage, and shook his head: "I am not an intruder or a slave, I am really just entrusted by others to deliver you something..."

The mage pulled the chain and walked towards the main house: "No one has ever given me a gift. If you really didn't lie, what they asked you to give should be this year's tribute."

Tribute? ?

Jiang Zhaonian looked at the master's back, his expression gradually serious.

He began to feel that this game world desperately needed a revolution.

"But they do say 'gift'."

"Don't be stupid," the mage walked into the dining room, suddenly pulled the chain and pulled Jiang Zhaonian to his side, before he could stand still, he pushed him onto the chair, "You still don't understand that you were used by them ?”

The mage fixed the chain on the corner of the table, turned around and entered the kitchen, and the voice continued: "Every winter they send a person over, not only to hand in the tribute of the year, but also to stay as a slave for me. Be an ox or a horse, Until the end of winter."

Jiang Zhaonian listened seriously, as if he was listening to a story that had nothing to do with him.

"In the past years, different people always come to me in turn, but this is the first time I see you. You are new to the village, haven't you figured it out yet? There have never been any gifts. You are just used as a substitute by them. You tricked me into coming here. You are my slave this year."

While speaking, the mage returned to him.

He pinched Jiang Zhaonian's chin again, and looked around with a little disgust: "It's useless and long-winded, I don't think I can expect any help from you. Fortunately, this face is okay, put it on The house doesn't get in the way of the mood."

Jiang Zhaonian: =L=

He didn't know how to reply, he was working hard with his brain, trying to digest the bloody plot.

The mage didn't seem to intend to ask him to answer, and put the big bottle of milk on the dining table with the other hand, knocking out a crisp sound with a "da".

"Finish."

Jiang Zhaonian was still lost in thought, picked up the bottle and drank after hearing this.

After a few sips, he realized that this was the mage's request to "give me something to eat" before responding to him.

Jiang Zhaonian opened his eyes slightly, looked at the mage, and thought that this is a good and arrogant mage!

The bottle was huge, and he drank half of the bottle in one go, and his health was fully restored, and more than half of his physical strength was restored.The hunger and thirst in the demand status bar has also returned to the full state.

Jiang Zhaonian put down the bottle, sighed contentedly, and was about to say something, but saw the mage staring at him dissatisfiedly frowning.

He stretched out a finger to press the bottom of the bottle, pushed the bottle back to Jiang Zhaonian's mouth, stared into his eyes: "I'll let you finish drinking."

Jiang Zhaonian froze for a while, looked at his status bar, felt the little stomach capacity left, and glanced at the face of the mage.

Finally, judging the situation, he continued to lift the bottle, frowned and drank in small sips.
