Chapter 208: A Former Royal Knight! (1/2)

Without wasting another second, Duke Albert stood and was about to leave the discussion room. Then, he glanced at Pedro and said, ”Please excuse me for a minute! I would like to immediately prepare my payment to you, Officer Aron!”

Pedro simply nodded in response as Duke Albert left. This, in turn, had left Pedro with Sordal Larkas in the discussion room. And it was only at this moment that Pedro noticed Sordal Larkas was 'somehow' unconscious. Thus, he can't help but force out a smile and reactively stood up—rushing towards the unconscious Sordal Larkas.

”Sir Sordal! Sir Sordal! Are you alright?” Pedro shouted in a worried tone. However, Pedro did not get any response from Sordal Larkas—leaving him with no other choice but to shake Sordal Larkas on his shoulder in an attempt to wake him up.

Unfortunately, Sordal Larkas remained unconscious whatever Pedro did. In fact, he even slapped his face but was still not successful in waking him up.

Soon, Duke Albert had returned to the room and witnessed Pedro slapping the face of Sordal Larkas. He can't help but frown and ask, ”What are you doing, Officer Aron?”

Pedro could not help but to force out a smile in response and said, ”For some reason, Sir Sordal Larkas is unconscious! I tried shaking him… And even slapping his face just to wake him up. But, none of it was effective and Sir Sordal is still unconscious. I checked his pulse and based on it, I don't see any life threatening signs that we should be wary about.”

”I-I see…” Duke Albert could not help but force out a smile in response. He walked out of his room and called one of his guards to carry Sordal Larkas, saying, ”Bring him to healer Ethareia. Tell her to prioritize his recuperation and inform me immediately, once he wakes up!”

”Yes, Duke Albert!”The guard said. Then, he carried Sordal Larkas out of the room—consequently leaving Pedro and Duke Albert behind.

When the doors slammed shut, Duke Albert took out a pouch that was hidden in his pocket. Then, he handed it over to Pedro and said, ”This is my payment. Please check if you receive the right amount. And… Since I have already given my payment, there won't be a problem if I use the skill page that I personally bought, right?”

Pedro simply nodded in response and said, ”Yes, you gave me the right amount! As for using the skill page… Please feel free to do so, since it is essentially yours from now on.”

Duke Albert smiled in response. He immediately took the skill page and tore it into half—consequently allowing him to obtain the Wolf Transformation Skill. And without a second thought, Duke Albert used the skill and transformed into a wolf.

”Awoooo!” Duke Albert cried on his wolf form out of excitement.

On the other hand, Pedro could not help but smirk towards Duke Albert and say, ”I am happy that you like the skill, but… Please do not forget that there's still the two goods of my ow choice left in our condition. I hope that you won't forget it.”

Duke Albert could not help but force out a smile in response. He could not help but revert to his human form, thinking that he has some matters yet to settle with Pedro. Then, he glanced at Pedro with a huge smile glued into his face and said, ”Of course, Officer Aron! I would not forget about our deal. However… Since Sordal Larkas is unconscious, I would be the one who would personally handle matters regarding the goods you want to take with you. That said, I would need to also arrange and manage the Grand Auction regarding your Skill Page, so… I would like to ask you, Officer Aron, which goods are you specifically looking for so that I could bring you to where the best goods could be located.”

”Hmm…” Pedro pondered for a few seconds, thinking of what goods should he prioritize obtaining since it was for free. Skills, Weapons, Equipment… He weighed it all and pondered which was the most important and ideal for him to obtain at this moment.

In the end, he said, ”Slaves!”

”Slaves?” Duke Albert frowned in astonishment. ”A-Are you sure about that, Officer Aron? I-I mean…”

Before Duke Albert could continue speaking, Pedro nodded with a smile and said, ”Yes! I am a hundred percent sure about it!”
