This essentially fulfills my two main requirents that have to be t when I’m searching for slaves. She has a gentle personality, too.
Vesta here ets all the requirents I had in mind, so I guess she would be an ideal choice for the next mber of my harem.
「She is certainly not bad.」
Rather, I really want her. I really want to buy her right now because of her beauty and her big chest. However, I am pretending to be troubled, so that the Slave rchant doesn’t imdiately pick up on it and sink his teeth into like a predator that just sensed its prey’s fresh blood.
That being said, it shouldn’t really matter all that much since I can just bid on her. Or perhaps, he’s going to try forcing to do sothing in order to have a higher starting bid for her?
「I am thankful for your ti.」
「Thank you very much.」
Vesta expresses her gratitude towards .
Although it was pleasant, I am not entirely happy since it looks like it is a sentence that she was saying to every custor who walked through the door, like a clerk at the shop who greets all of the custors with the exact sa words.
「It all cos down to whether I can make a successful bid or not, so don’t try to sell yourself to every visitor and flatter them if you don’t know if their intentions are genuine.」
I couldn’t stop myself and said that over my shoulder to her since I don’t approve of her doing that to everyone, to which the Slave rchant grinned.
「Umm, Thank you for your concern, dear custor, but I think it’s alright.」
Alright? How can sothing like that be even remotely alright?
「As for the other visitors, I will just tell them that I can’t enter the Labyrinth.」
Because another visitor has already entered, I take my leave. Even If you say that, I will still be troubled. That’s why I decided to go visit other rooms in order to take my mind off that situation with Vesta.
As expected, the majority of the slaves are females. Because it’s the auction day, it’s full of beautiful won, which is pretty amazing. Even so, Vesta and the young lady from the room before her are the ones that stand out the most to , so they might be the ones who’re going to garner the most attention today.
Since I have also made my choice now, it is ti to get started.
I step into the next room while thinking that. The room is full of visitors. Is there so good slave being displayed here? I walk to the front to have a look at them and see for myself.
「So, I see that you have decided to participate in the auction after all.」
As I went to the front, a familiar voice that I know all too well greets . It’s Alan, the Slave rchant from Vale.
「Oh, it’s you, Alan-san. What are you doing here? I thought that you were not supposed to be taking part in the auction?」
「I never said that I won’t, just that I won’t be able to display my best rchandise. But as you can see, we are exhibiting a Wizard slave this ti. It is the best Job to improve the strength of your Party after all. That’s why I can recomnd him with absolute confidence.」
「A Wizard?」
Which reminds , that old man was shouting sothing like this back at the reception desk when I just ca into the rchants Guild. So, he was right after all and a wizard slave is really going to be exhibited in the auction, huh?
Certainly, Wizard is the best job a Party can have. Even Sherry said that a Party pretty much needs to have a Wizard or a Mage as one of its mbers if it wants to tackle the higher floors of the Labyrinths.
Well, I am the only one covering for that role in our Party. But if we had another magic user in our midst, our offensive potential would probably get doubled. I would really love to see that, but there is a catch. If Alan’s words are true, then the slave that is supposed to be a Wizard is a guy.
*Sigh* If only it weren’t a guy. Well, I know for a fact that I’m not going to be trying to buy him, but I might as well check him out.
The man standing next to Alan was surrounded by the visitors. His job truly is Wizard. So he is the slave that Alan intends to put on display during this auction, huh? However, 「Identify」does not outright say that it is a man.
Is he really a man?
「Right before the auction, he was suddenly sold by a certain house.」
「To suddenly sell a Wizard who’s a valuable Job, they seem to be in quite a crisis.」
「Lately, his earnings had started to decline, but it wasn’t originally the case. Over ti, it reached the point where it was impossible for him to repay his debts, and that’s why he was sold into slavery.」
A certain house, huh? That probably ans he’s from the Baradam family.
Alan once said that having sources is important for a Slave rchant. Roxanne and that woman from the Baradam family who challenged her to a duel were acquaintances in the past, so it is no wonder that Alan managed to get Roxanne if he has connections in the Baradam family.
This Wizard, however, does not have a family na. He doesn’t seem to belong to the Baradam family, which begs the following question: if only the children of royalty and nobility can beco Mages and Wizards because of the Orb of Self Destruction, then how could a commoner’s child acquire that Job?
「Having a Wizard for sale is going to attract a lot of attention to you, right?」
「Yes, precisely. As one would expect, it is rare for a slave with a Wizard Job to be exhibited at a slave auction, so now that I managed to obtain one I decided capitalize on the opportunity that presented itself to . Of course, you’re more than welco to bid for him as well if you want. If I may ask, what do you think about the Wizard over there, Mr. Michio?」
Is it really that rare for a Wizard to appear on the auction?
Well, it is said that only the children of nobles and rich people can beco Wizards, so I guess that does make them a kind of a rarity.
That being said, it really is a sha that he is a man.
I guess I could technically try to make a successful bid on him, and offer him in exchange for a female Wizard if I ever happened upon one in the Slave Shops.
However, there is a slight problem with that approach: I don’t know of anyone who would have a female Wizard as a slave, and it’s probably next to impossible to have two Wizards of varying genders exhibited on the sa auction.
「He will sell for quite a lot of money.」
「Oh, of that I have no doubt. It won’t be surprising even if he goes for more than one million Nars at best.」
Alan sticks out his chest proudly. It will be ridiculous if that happens, but knowing how this world operates, I can totally see soone being both capable and willing to pay so much money for such a slave.
I politely decline his offer to take a further look at the Wizard and try to leave.
「Have you guys prepared your platinum coins?! Because trust , you’re going to be needing every last one of them!」
When I turn around, the old man from before was still doing the sa song and dance number that he was doing before….. Oh. I see now.
Is he making a declaration to everyone that he is absolutely going to get this Wizard slave in order to lessen the competition that would try to get their hands on him as well? Because if so, then I am not sure if it will turn out exactly like the old man is thinking its going to turn out, though.
Still, I don’t think soone who gets scared from just that can compete with him in the first place. At first I was thinking of throwing him out on a loop by saying that I have two platinum coins on right now, but I have ultimately decided against it.
「The order has been decided via lottery. Please move to the second floor as the auction will be starting shortly.」
