I am now a slave.
Painfully evident thanks to the glowing red mark on my arm.
What happens when you beco a slave?
Well given my handso features they should sell to a rich lady.
No, they want to trade to the Moon Keep.
Would Luna buy ?
Perhaps.
Would the champion try and kill ?
Very much so.
Could the warden do anything to stop it?
Doubtful.
Yeah, I'd rather not try it.
This situation is so surreal I'm not even panicking that much.
Sohow Wolfie isn't either.
Weird, she should be smart enough to understand everything.
As I'm lost in thoughts, he orders to move.
Then drops in the cage with the previous guy.
With Wolfie too.
Isn't he worried that she'll help escape?
He orders to stay here.
Then he leaves cackling about his good fortune.
"So they got you too? This is what you get for trusting a slave dealer."
In retrospect that sounds obvious
I guess that explains the mask and cloak.
This way people won't notice.
Turning a custor into a product is bad.
"Hey, are you so shocked that you can't even talk? Well, despair is normal."
Ah, he's been talking to .
[*Smile* Oh? Sorry about that brother, I was thinking.]
He looks at like baffled.
"How are you smiling?!"
[My facial muscles.]
""
Now let see.
Alright, he said sothing about a temporary contract.
One handled by a valuable artifact.
This can allow anyone in this place to control them.
I can probably use divine energy to run away.
I just wonder if they'll be able to track down afterward.
Yep, I gotta destroy the source directly.
Scouting ability ti!
It does take so ti, but no worries.
I scour the entire place.
Lavish rooms
A small auction house.
Living quarters.
A kitchen.
Various cells.
Ah, there it is.
The area where the slaver guy is residing.
Looking at the opulence he isn't lowly here.
The boss breathing on his neck was all bullshit it seems.
Behind that is a small vault.
In it is a glowing cube.
A red one.
Yep, sothing tells this is it.
My target.
Now there are 2 issues.
Let's start with the first one.
[To trigger the mark I just need to disobey an order, right?]
"Yes, that is why we can't even think about"
I simply walk away.
Once I encounter tal bars, I simply bend them.
Until I am finally out of the holding area.
Oh? I can definitely feel it.
A tingling sensation in my arm.
Well, a massage would hurt more.
"Y-you! How are you fine?!"
[Don't worry about it. Now try coming over too.]
He seems scared.
"The mark will activate, no?"
[Is it life-threatening?]
"No, but "
[Then why are you scared? Don't you believe in ?]
I see him nod.
Then he resolutely heads my way.
"ARGGG!"
Now he's twisting on the ground in pain.
I grab him and throw him back in the cell.
"That...why?!"
[Oh, now I have a good example of what it is supposed to look like.]
I give him a huge thumbs up.
He only grimaces in pain.
Oh well, a small price to pay for freedom.
Then I simply start walking.
Toward the vault.
Casually.
Without ever stopping.
Hiding my glowing mark in my sleeve.
Of course, there are guards.
Upon noticing they scream at to halt.
I just keep walking.
Then one of them grabs putting a weapon near my throat.
"*Stern* Talk, who are you and what are you doing here?!"
Ti to use my wits to get myself out of this.
I articulately and dashingly exclaim:
[IT HURRTS SSOOO MUCHH, ARRRGGG! NEED TO SERVE MASTER!!!! ARGGGG!!]
Then I drop on the floor and start flailing around.
In the process, I reveal my glowing slave mark.
"Let him go! He's a slave!"
He finally removes the pressure and blade.
I do my best to get up and wobble away.
Hiding my slave mark again.
"Who is your master?"
I slowly describe his general appearance.
"Oh my god, that's the chairman! What did he tell you?"
[I need to go serve him.]
"What for?"
"Hey man, you really shouldn't ask that. *Turning to *Just keep going and do your job well! If you are competent, he may as well keep you with us."
I nod.
"Ah, but what's with the wolf?!"
He draws his blade.
Oh, she followed it seems.
[She is master's new friend I think? *Puzzled*]
"Then we better not touch it. Take care man."
[Thank you!]
"Wait!"
Did they see through ?
What kind of mistake did I commit?
Is it my still glowing crest?
That should be hidden well enough.
Is my story too far-stretched?
We are in the city too.
I can't just start killing wantonly.
What should I do?
"What is it?"
"Won't he get stopped by other guards?"
"Ah, probably"
"Alright, I'll escort you all the way there!"
He thumps his chest.
Oh my, how reliable.
"Please, you are just trying to leave a good impression on the chairman, aren't you?"
"So what?! I am hardworking and competent!"
I an right now he doesn't seem that competent to .
But well, he was probably told the slave contracts are foolproof.
Even the master just left there without a worry in the world.
It would be ridiculous to expect more from the subordinate.
[T-thank you so much! Lead the way please!]
"Of course!"
He is humming a small tune as we make our way there.
Since I have a guide this ti around no one makes a fuss.
Well, they all are perplexed about Wolfie's presence
I am still wearing that cloak he gave .
I feel like this helps.
You know since it looks legit.
It makes it look like I sowhat belong there.
Now what exactly they think of matters not.
Whether it be a custor or a high-quality slave.
In such a way we arrive before a beautifully engraved door.
Ah, nice!
Seems my trip here wasn't a waste.
Now, shall we have so fun?
