Chapter 200: The Master of Demi-Humans! (1/2)
”N-No problem! No problem!” The man said as he glanced back and forth from Pedro to Auction Guide Weese—as if he was asking if Pedro was really going to buy the slaves.
However, before the man or Auction Guide Weese could utter a word, Pedro took out four gold coins and a pouch of silver coins from his inventory bag. Then, he said, ”Please prepare my slaves immediately. The pouch contains eighty silver coins. I would like to bid three silver coins for all of the human slaves, except the old woman at the corner.”
Pedro glanced towards Auction Guide Weese and handed to her the money. Then, he asked, ”You can handle the purchase for me, right?”
Auction Guide Weese bowed slightly in respect to Pedro and said, ”O-Of course, Young Master!”
Pedro simply smirked in response. He turned around and walked towards a carriage with ragged looking human slaves in it. Their necks also had the same thick metal collar as the slaves that Pedro had bought. Their hands were also chained, restricting their movements and hindering them from potentially escaping.
On the other hand, their slave trader could not help but bow respectfully towards Pedro after witnessing him buy the slaves that were being sold by an adjacent slave trader at the buyout price without even batting an eye.
”How can be of help, Young Master?” The slave trader asked.
”How much for these human slaves?” Pedro asked whilst carefully looking at the slaves inside the carriage.
”If you mean the buyout price, Young Master, the price is the same as the previous slave trader. Thirty silver coins each.”
”I see…” Pedro simply nodded in response. Then, he glanced towards Auction Guide Weese—waiting for her to finish the transaction that he made at the first slave trader, and said, ”Let's wait for my guide before we make any transactions.”
”Of course, young master!” The slave trader said as he followed Pedro's gaze and glanced to Auction Guide Weese.
At this moment, Pedro could not help but force out a smile deep inside and thought, 'Thirty silver coins? You've got to be kidding me! If not for the coins I got from Kageyama, I would not even dare talk to these bastards! The slave chain costs around two silver coins. Other than that, there is basically nothing else that these slave traders needed to pay for.'
He glanced towards the human slaves in the carriage and thought, 'In fact… I can just simply go to the slums of every Kingdom. The people there would even approach me on their own and offer their services in exchange for food. So… I could only bid three silver coins for each human slave, out of consideration for the Auction Den's owner. I won't go beyond that even if someone outbids my offer. Besides… These are not the best slaves that this auction den could offer.'
Moments later, Auction Guide Weese approached Pedro with several papers on her hand. While the nine demi-humans followed behind her with their thick metal collar still in their necks.
”These are the papers regarding the contracts of these slaves.” Auction Guide Weese explained as she handed out the papers to Pedro. ”After you sign these contracts, they would be officially yours, Young Master!”
