The crowd in the auction hall slowly began to lessen. Don and Uncle Dior looked at the closed stage for a while imagining the fate of the woman sold to Minister Brian.
Uncle Dior was clenching his fists so tightly that the nails caused his palms to turn red.
The matter that depressed Uncle Dior the most was that he couldn't save his own mber of the race from the horrible fate fallen on her in front of his eyes.
Don looked at Uncle Dior and saw his clenched fists and trembling body with anger it's true that he did not know Uncle Dior very well but he knew even when the bandits attacked the elven tribe he didn't react like this, Don knew what was Uncle Dior feeling right now, the hopelessness resentnt towards the society and angry with himself for beings so weak
"We'll save her" Don patted on uncle Dior's back lightly and reassured him.
It was simply four words but it felt like finding a lake in the middle of a dessert to Uncle Dior, he knew if anyone could save her its Don. Uncle Dior personally experienced the power of him when he slew the black panther in a matter of seconds so when Don said "we will save her" a hope appeared in his heart and he let go of the anger and resentnt as he breathed a sigh.
"Let's go collect our money and get the hell of this place"
While they were walking out, Uncle Dior saw Minister Brian on the VIP area, he gritted his teeth in anger when he saw the happiness and excitent on Minister Brian's fat round face but Uncle Dior's angry face let out a small smile under the hood when he saw Don stared at Minister Brian for a mont with cold murdering eyes.
"The Devil has laid his eyes on you fat pig" Uncle Dior muttered.
*************************
An old man with the bald head dressed in a gold robe stood in the center of the room, he had a human-sized cage with a person inside beside him. He was the old man who appraised the great master level magic core before. Next to the old man stood the manager with Whitehoney Amara who was the auctioneer a mont ago.
Minister Brian was led by the beauty he was playing with shadowed by Rosalin's group to the center of the room.
Manager Xing waved his hands approaching Minister Brian with a big smile and greeted him "I assu Minister Brian had a good ti"
Minister Brian rubbed his palms together and licked his lips in excitent
"Not like I am about to"
Minister Brian stared at the woman in the box like a dog looking at the bone but he retained a respectful posture when he saw Whitehoney Amara
"Oh miss Amara I didn't notice you pardon my manners" Amara's lips curved an arch and she outstretched her hands towards Minister Brian
as he stepped towards Amara and took her outstretched hand and turned the palm downwards gently by the fingertips bent his hips and kissed her hands without touching her hands.
"Would Miss Amara grace this humble Minister's house by coming to dinner tonight?"
Rosalin grossed out to see his etiquette and gentleman acting.
"Sorry, Minister Brian Miss Amara had to leave Slav...Windsville city asap"
Manager Xing answered Brian before Amara could say anything, he had not thought this idiot would hit on her the mont he saw her.
"A toad wanting to eat swan at," he thought
She only ca to this backwater city because manager Xing called in a favor from his friend in the capital city Thousand Arms branch, who asked Whitehoney Amara to co and be the auctioneer here as a help.
Manager Xing never wanted this insolent fool to anger or even slightly irritate Miss Amara as everyone knows the influence and the power Everlasting sect has in the empire, flirting with her is like asking for a disaster to befall down on the Slave city.
Luckily for Manager Xing Amara didn't mind Minister Brian's invitation or his intention and said
"Manager Xing is correct Minister Brian, My master wanted to return soon as possible to the sect"
"Oh another ti then," Minister Brian said while making a disappointed face
"Besides I bet Minister Brian has an appointnt tonight"
Whitehoney Amara giggled and winked at the cage near her.
Minister Brian looked at the woman in the cage again, both of his fists were clenched tightly barely able to contain the excitent he felt at this mont, even so, his body trembled slightly.
"Here Minister Brian key to the cage" Manager Xing gave the key to Minister Brian while the old man stepped forward and asked
"Please give your hand Minister Brian" Minister Brian kinda had an idea about why he is asking so he outstretched his arms
The Oldman closed his eyes and chanted sothing as a white light appeared near his chest and moved towards Minister Brian's heart and rged with him. The body of the woman in the cage jerked when the light rged with Minister Brian.
"Minister Brian the Master bond has been successfully transferred to you, the creature is already marked in her magic core with the slave bond, so you can do whatever you want using your master bond"
the Oldman took out a scroll from his robe and handed over to Minister Brian,
"This scroll contains the instructions and the spell to transfer ownership of this creature Minister Brian"
"Minister Brian we can imdiately transport it to your mansion after you sign this "
Manager Xing gave a parchnt to Minister Brian as Minister Brian took out a card from his pockets and held it against the parchnt, a small projection ca through the card and showed -2500.
This was the paynt procedure of wealthy people as they carry only the magic paynt card which can be instantly frozen if soone stole it instead of a pouch full of coins.
"Wonderful always a pleasure doing business with you Minister Brian Hope you enjoy the product"
"The pleasure is mine Manager Xing"
Minister Brian waved at manager xing and headed out to his mansion licking his lips.
***************************
Sun sank lower in the sky, the light of day draining away, giving way to the velvety dark of night, crickets chirping, stars started to glimr in the dark blue sky,
Don and Uncle Dior were watching a big beautiful manor from afar.
Guards dressed in chainmail and armor walking around the manor with spears and shields. Don scanned the manor to figure out a way to get into the manor without alerting Minister Brian or his five great master guards, he was not afraid of the guards but he was a person who never gives the enemy any chances to prepare a counter-attack.
Eventually, while Don was looking at the patrolling guards a fancy looking carriage pulled by four pegasuses arrived at Brian's manor.
"Brian," Uncle Dior confird.
"So what's the plan?" Uncle Dior urged Don for an answer.
Don leaned on the tree with arms crossed and asked
"What do you think?"
Evidently, Uncle Dior thought of himself as more of a brain guy than brawn guy, he knew Don also valued his inputs so he racked his brain for a better way to reach Brian,
Don already had a plan but he wanted to get so inputs from Uncle Dior as he might give so ideas or ways he forgot in his plan.
"We saw the guards looked tired so the guard changing may co at that exact mont there will be so holes in the security especially at the back because of that huge wall, no one would think that soone will climb or fly over it"
"Why?"
"You kidding? Except for that huge wall in the back, other walls around the manor are covered with magic runes to detect intruders as for flying there also security asures in place especially soone's ho like Brian's so if we can figure out a way to climb over the wall..." Uncle Dior started to formulate a plan.
"You are right mostly,"
"You have a plan?" Uncle Dior saw Don's I an Mike's relaxed face and couldn't help but ask,
"Yes as you said the guards are tired but they won't switch them all at once, they do it, group by group "
"Hmm makes sense, doing it like that, minimize the security risks but it will be bad for us right?"
"Yes if there aren't any great master magis"
Uncle Dior confused to hear that,
"You lack battle experience," Don exclaid and continued
"The guards were so alert before because if anything goes wrong they are the one will be blad but we saw the great masters return so the guards will relax and let down their guard a bit"
"Hmm, what about that huge wall did you also plan to climb?"
"You sure that the huge wall is not covered with magic runes?"
"Yes I couldn't see any magic fluctuations around it"
"As I said battle experience, they want you to think that way"
"What? Are you telling it was covered in magic?"
"Yes if soone wants to get inside they choose that wall because they think there are no magic fluctuations but it's similar to walking into a trap"
"So how are we going to get inside and save the poor girl?" Uncle Dior started to shake in fear thinking about the half-elf girl
"We are not I am, the walls only detect soone with the magic core, in another word everyone else besides ," Uncle Dior noticed a sudden mix of anger and sadness in Don's voice while he talked about the latter part.
Don's plan made sense to him because the guards or even the great masters won't expect soone from another world without magic core would co knocking.
"But what about the five great masters? are you sure you won't get noticed"
"There is no such thing as SURE in a plan but since Brian brought that girl, he wouldn't let the great masters look at him while he is playing"
He was going to say raping but by noticing Uncle Dior's reaction before he went with the word playing,
"Didn't that Akihiro guy ntioned that they never leave his side?"
"Never leave his side is not ans keeping him in front of them all the ti don't worry"
As they were discussing the plan, the guard switching ti arrived, a group of guards went inside the barracks while the new group of guards ca out, just as Don said the new guards seed, relax
"Its ti, you change your robes and go and wait for hiding outside the city walls don't talk to anyone and don't act suspicious"
"Alright I'll see you there" as he heard Uncle Dior, Don started to walk towards Brian manor,
"Ah, Don" Don looked over his shoulder,
"May Corellon be with you," Uncle Dior said as Don nodded and initiated his plan.
