My Dragon System

Ray had just informed the ten previous slaves in front of him that he was the leader of the Redwings. From the look on their faces, even the news of the newly formed kingdom had reached their ears. Even though they were slaves, information often passed around them. In fact more freely than when spoken in front of others, for the people around them did not care.

It wasn't every day that an entirely new kingdom was declared so of course, they remembered this piece of information.

However, after hearing this piece of information, Katy, the original female slave who Ray had saved, her will did not falter. She moved even closer to Ray and placed her fist on the floor.

"I will gladly still serve you. Whatever they said about you must have been rumours that had been made up." Katy said.

The other slaves were slightly hesitant after hearing Ray name the kingdom and knew that the entire Redwing army had been slandered to pieces. This was, of course, the doing of the empire. Very few knew the truth and the good deeds of the Redwings but chose to keep it a secret. If they willingly started to spread the word, they could very well go missing the next day.

After hearing Katy's words, they started to think a bit clearer, there was no reason for Ray to treat them nicely, and it also didn't make sense for him to lie about who he was. Why make everyone here scared and hate him after he had treated them so well.

Soon, after the rest of the slaves followed, moving to where Katy was. They hadn't changed their mind after finding out who Ray really was. Looking at the people in front of him, Ray couldn't help but let out a little smile.

'Oh, how times have changed when an entire village or town used to run from hearing my name' Ray thought.

"Katy is it," Ray said as he held her hand and brought her up to her feet. "Make sure you all buy whatever provisions you need. If you wish to stay with me then I will not refuse. I have some important business with Bob tonight. We will be leaving soon, so have everyone come back here later on tonight."

"But how will I know when you are ready, or when you will be coming back?" She asked.

Ray looked at her and activated one of his skills.

In front of their very eyes, a large piece of paper came into view. It was a special Redwing contract. Ray didn't need to explain anything and allowed her to read it. However, after noticing how she had reacted so far, he was confident that she would accept. Her type of personality was exactly what the Redwings needed.

After reading everything over, like Ray had accepted she accepted the contract. Moments later and the Redwing symbol started to form around her collar and followed upwards on her neck.

"Now that's quite the problematic place," Ray said. The Redwing symbol was a dead giveaway to who was part of the group or not. Opening up his dimensional space, Ray pulled out something that he hadn't used for a long time. It was his black sash. He didn't know why but he had chosen to keep it this whole time, even though he was no longer a student at Avrion.

He wrapped the sash around Katy's neck personally, like a scarf, covering the marking.

"Thank you," Katy replied.

"You are in charge of this group, when I need your help you will know," Ray said as he walked off.

She lifted her hand and pressed on the mark on her neck. Although she knew Ray was only caring for her, she was really very pleased about the marking being in an obvious place. After everything Ray had done for her, she was happy to show the whole world she was part of the Redwings.

While no one was looking, she also quickly lifted the sash and took in a big sniff. "A personal item from my king."

Bob looked at the slaves and looked back at Ray before following him.

Bob himself was confused about what he had just heard. He too had no clue who Ray truly was, to find out that he was working with a known criminal was frightening.

'No wonder he had so much confidence before. But if he's a King right, where are all his guards? Was Jack Dem one of them, is the city working with the Redwings?' there were too many questions and not enough answers, and right now he was too deep. If the town wasn't working with him, or the empire had found out how much he had already helped, he would be punished severely for everything that had happened.

The plan was for the two of them to head to the auction house, Ray wanted to have a look at just what the Vip section was selling, hoping that he might be able to grab a good weapon for Jack, as well as maybe something for himself. After this, there was no longer a reason for him to stay with Ray, and he hoped whatever business Jack had with his family, was over and done with by now.

There was another problem though, Ray was low on funds. He had spent too much money trying to show off his wealth so he could enter into the VIP area, and after giving most of his gold coins away to the slaves he didn't have much for himself to spend at the auction.

Still, there was one option. Ray could always sell the carriage. When asking Slyvia whether it was okay or not, she surprisingly said yes, as long as they knew it was the technology that had come from the Redwings. Most likely this was a part of a grand plan of hers that Ray really knew nothing about. If he really saw something he liked and needed the funds, this would be his last resort.

While on the way to the auction house, A ding sound was heard, notifying a message from the system had arrived. It was from Jack.
