Chapter 12 (1/2)
The HeroDuphein’s base, I first ain
Although I was going to carefully assess all of the goods I needed to procure the advance payment that I received yesterday, since I screwed up enerous amount of er purchases first
Carrying my rucksack stuffed with a sack full of coins (in this world, for all trips on foot, people would nors like this), I headed to a part of the slum where there were even fewer people
Adventurers and e about this street, a really unique business area where it does pay poor people no heed
This is a black al docuoods, curse catalysts, and of course, slaves
Debt Slaves who lost their place, crime slaves who committed felonies, ransohts from another country that were turned into slaves
The cried by the kingdooods at slave stores
I don’t kno they treat the slaves The treatment of slaves is all up to the owners, however, they don’t usually display the slaves being mistreated or overworked to the point of collapse Basically, it’s because the slaves are expensive merchandise
Thus, the stores that proudly establish themselves on the capital’s main street are slave providers for nobles, which have a lot of quality slaves, but they are required to be bought by nobles, millionaires, or people with letters of introduction froe
So people without connections or the affluence to afford expensive slaves come to buy slaves here in the slums
I walked around the area aimlessly with the help of uys who looked rough became pale as soon as they saw me and left the place
「I was sure that I did that to give a warning…… but did I overdo it?」
Thinking thatiated since yesterday
To tell the truth, that exchanger staff (Daruure in the upper ranks, known for his skill and coth and create illusions And I, who one-sidedly overwhelmed him, was considered to be a threat in the eyes of the citizens in the slums whose creed waspeople don’t approach hts, I reach my intended destination With that, I found and entered into a rando slave shop To accomplish my objectives, it isthe eyes of the public as much as possible
Inside the store, there wasn’t anyone aside froer, who seely from head to toe, he talked rowdily as he didn’t consider o again I feel like I’ for slaves? Excuse et?」
「I have around 10 gold coins, and I need one person If you show me the slaves that you could sellabout how much money would I need in the future, I responded with a suitable answer
By the way, it seems that if you were to buy a slave marketed for nobles froold coins, and depending on the quality, you could end up spending white gold coins In this sluoods, however, the price of a slave is at least 3 gold coins Since the average slave’s price is around 7 to 8 gold coins, if I say that et is around 10 coins, I should be able to see most of the slaves
「Pardon et on your hands?」
The slavethat I wouldn’t have that kind ofa slave on Main Street; on the other hand, I look too skinny to be an adventurer Being able to separate people easily into types froreenhorn would have that h I know his reason for suspicion, I’ht of me
「……Is this sufficient for you?」
I don’t need to restrain myself, so I pulled out a sack of coins from my rucksack and purposely
「Th-there is no problees」
The instant that I had proved that I had gold, he changed his attitude splendidly which made me remember that detestable person and strainedeven if I were to shout at this man in front of me, so I decided to just follow him quietly
In the inner part of the shop, there were cages with iron bars, which had inside of them humans who are probably slaves with their extreazes
In this world, the notion of essential things such as nutritional science and hygiene didn’t even exist, nevertheless, it was a harsh environuise the dom’s royal capital In the end, when they assemble personnel to search for me, they only have limited characteristics to identifyAlso, if there were two, it would be a lot easier to get out of the city
There’s also one more reason
It’s because I need a practice partner for my skills There are several skills which can’t be trained by oneself And since I have the Holy Sword of Vengeance, I wouldn’t have any problems since I should be able to detect ill intent However, I don’t want to make friends or companions, so that’s why I want a slave
After I use the slave to raise ive him some compensation money and free him And in the worst case where he becoe, then I can just kill him, and I wouldn’t have a proble and evil acts like casting away so him/her just like them makes me want to puke, even if he/she is a slave If the slave doesn’t beco
Since the slave would probably learn the basic skills to survive as he/she will just helphim/her out defenseless If we establish a business-like relationshi+p between us, that would be the best I would like to develop a first class relationshi+p which pays each other’s services with justified profit
That’s the kind of thought I was having
……So, I’ll be keeping an eye out until I find that certain slave
「I would recoe since all of the If you want one of those slaves, then it will be a little more expensive but within this cell I……」
「Hey, how about the one hanging in the last cell?」
「Yes? Ah yes, that girl She is scheduled to be disposed of in the near future Since I have heard that so in the royal capital prefer that kind stuff, I went to all the trouble of bringing her here However, she won’t quit showing hostility Even though she’s given punishment via the slave seal, she would still show resistance until death’s door; so even if her figure is good, since she will try to grab her owner’s neck and try to kill the client with the price of her life, nobody wants her anyious hu its roots A them, species like beastmen and any other species different frodododo the Edoma of Supremacy of the beast-kin, so there’s no difference in the treatdooes both ways
「Hey, I’ve decided I pick her」
「What? But… that is a beast-kin, so even if it’s contrary to her look, she could still asphyxiate you with her great physical strength……」
「I don’t old coins for her so make a contract already, and I won’t complain about it later」
「Haaa~, if that’s so, there is no proble a slave?」
「Well, it is」
