Chapter 181: Winged Clan

Owen was reading the document in his hand carefully and did not notice the abnormality at first.

But as the black spot grew larger and the light in the room became dim, he realized something was wrong.

Looking up, Owen noticed a strange dark shadow on the floor, like a large bird with its wings spread out.

Suddenly, a figure rushed straight into the office through the window, passed quickly in front of Owen, knocked over several pieces of furniture, and made quite a noise.

Bang! Crash—

“Lord Owen!”

Hearing the noise, Mapel rushed into the office with a sword and asked.

“What happened?”

“It seems like a big bird just flew in.”

Owen stood up from his seat with a puzzled look on his face and saw white feathers scattered on the ground in front of him.

When he looked up, he was surprised to find that the person lying on the ground was a demi human with a pair of wings on its back and bird claws on its calves. It was a female with long fluffy white hair and dressed in simple grey linen clothes.

“Uh, no, it’s a subhuman race I’ve never seen before.” 

He corrected himself.

“Could it be an assassin?”

Blocking Owen behind her, Mapel raised the magic sword in her hand and looked warily at the female sub-human who suddenly broke in.

“Probably not.”

Owen walked forward and saw that the female sub-human on the ground had already fainted, with many scars on her body, not just from the previous collision.

“She’s hurt! Mapel, come and help me.”

“Yes.”

Putting away the magic sword, Mapel and Owen turned the female sub-human over and saw that she was wearing a heavy black iron collar around her neck.

Owen naturally knew what this thing was. It was a slave collar.

It seems that this female Avian must have just escaped from a slave trader.

“My Lord, what happened?”

At this time, soldiers patrolling nearby hurried over.

Theresa, Fanny, Euchina and Viscount Jarvis also ran over. After all, the noise came from Owen’s office, and they were very worried about it.

“I’m fine.”

Owen spoke to the soldier first, then his eyes fell on Theresa and said.

“Theresa, this sub-human is injured. Please treat her as soon as possible.”

“Okay.” 

Theresa nodded.

Soon, the injured female sub-human was taken to the guest room closest to the office and placed on a bed.

Before starting the treatment, Theresa drove all the men out and closed the door, then went over to take off the clothes of the female demi-human.

“ahhhh–“

Seeing the skin under the clothes, Theresa couldn’t help but gasp. It was so horrible.

There were countless whip marks on the female sub-human’s body, and her skin, which should have been snow-white, was covered with red scars. I wonder who was so cruel to her. Did they want to whip her to death?

It’s better to get treatment as soon as possible.

Theresa quickly prayed to the gods and cast a healing spell on the injured.

Outside the door, Owen was not interested in going back to look through the documents. Several servants were cleaning the office.

Thinking of the subhuman race he had never seen before, Owen turned to look at Viscount Jarvis and asked.

“Viscount Jarvis, are there any subhuman races with wings in the Mysterious Forest?”

The area where the subhuman race lives closest to Dongsheng Fortress is the Mysterious Forest in the northwest.

“Um……”

Viscount Jarvis thought for a long time before he spoke: 

“I don’t think so. This is the first time I’ve seen this kind of bird-like subhuman race today.”

“Huh? You haven’t seen it either?” 

Owen asked in surprise.

“Um.”

It was obvious that the female sub-human was definitely not from the Mysterious Forest.

Moreover, she was wearing a slave collar around her neck, which must have been smuggled in from somewhere else by slave traders.

Where on earth could this subhuman race come from? Owen fell into deep thought.

The Vinora Forest, the Rola Forest, the wilderness, and the dangerous mountains, these places and the Mysterious Forest are the main living areas of the subhuman race.

In addition, there are some hidden places on the continent where subhuman races live.

But I haven’t heard of any flying subhuman race anywhere. Am I just ignorant?

Forget it, Owen shook his head and decided to wait until the female sub-human wakes up before asking her.

The next morning, the female sub-human’s eyelashes moved and she slowly opened her eyes. Her purple-gold pupils were very beautiful.

It was so comfortable. She realized that she was lying on a comfortable and soft bed. She really wanted to lie there forever and never get up.

Wrong?!

She suddenly turned over and sat up, subconsciously reaching for her neck, and was surprised to find that the annoying iron collar was gone.

She checked her hands and body again. All the bruises had faded, and the whip wounds were almost healed. She didn’t feel any pain at all, and her whole body felt extremely comfortable.

What’s going on? This is awesome!

Of course, the female Avian didn’t stay happy for long, and began to look around and observe the room she was in.

This seems to be a room in a mansion that only wealthy people have, but why am I here?

Recalling what happened yesterday bit by bit, the female sub-human finally broke the cage that imprisoned her and hurried into the sky.

At that time, she just wanted to escape from the pursuit of those bad guys, and she didn’t even bother to confirm the direction, she just kept flying.

But she felt so tired and hungry at that time, and her physical strength was severely exhausted. She could only fly in the air with difficulty. Finally, her consciousness gradually became blurred, as if she had crashed into a very tall building.

“You finally woke up.”

A sweet and gentle voice came from the door, scaring the female sub-human so much that she shrank back inside and looked over with vigilance.

Standing at the door was a female human with long black hair, a friendly and beautiful smile on her face, and a big bowl of hot wheat porridge in her hand.

Just by looking at that gentle smile, the female sub-human felt that her heart was healed by her, and her vigilance also collapsed.

What’s going on? Is this female human an angel?

“Don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you. I healed your injuries yesterday.”

Theresa came over and put the bowl of wheat porridge on the bedside table.

“You just woke up, you must be very hungry, right? I asked the kitchen to prepare a bowl of wheat porridge, eat it quickly.”

Staring intently at the bowl of wheat porridge, the female sub-human couldn’t help swallowing.

She was really hungry. Without saying a word, she quickly picked up the bowl of wheat porridge, grabbed the spoon, scooped up the porridge and stuffed it into her mouth, completely disregarding her eating manners.

“Eat slowly, be careful not to choke.” 

Theresa said softly.

After a while, the female Avian finished eating, and there was not even a drop of porridge left at the bottom of the bowl.

Satisfied, she put the empty bowl back on the bedside table. She found Theresa beside her looking at her with a smile. Her cheeks suddenly turned slightly red and she whispered.

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

Then, Theresa introduced herself to the her.

“My name is Theresa, and I’m a high-ranking priestess. What’s yours?”

“My name is Winnie.” 

She replied. 

“I’m from the Winged Tribe of the Storm Islands.”
