Will of chaos

Chapter 113: Buying slaves

After reading the papers where the information of three slaves was, I became interested in them, their levels are above thirty, they have very diverse work histories and many skills I need to take care of the mansion.

“Can you tell me more about these three slaves?” (I)

“Everything I know about them is written there, one of the slaves is a 362 year old White Elf, her name is Freya, but for an Elf, she is still young as the Elves’ lifetime can reach up to a thousand years, she has passed two hundred years as a maid of nobles and has high levels of cleaning and cooking skills, she also has some combat training and specializes in archery, she is very well educated and is used to training other maids, you could use her as a head maid.” (Richard)

“The second White Elf is Freya’s daughter, her name is Caryna, she is 53 years old, just like her mother she is an elite servant, but unlike her mother, she has no combat skills or training.” (Richard)

“The third slave is a Beast Man from the tribe of lions, he is Caryna’s husband, his name is Leo, he is 31 years old, he is a criminal slave, all his skills are combat skills but he is strong.” (Richard)

They all look good, but it’s obvious that the trader wants to increase their value.

“Why aren’t any of them on the list you gave me before?” (I)

“Their former master sold them with a demand that they are sold together, and according to the requirements you asked, Freya is over three hundred years old, so I didn’t leave her on the list, the same problem for your daughter who has over fifty, so I couldn’t put Leo on the list.” (Richard)

“I understand.” (I)

What he said is really true, but I feel this was a test, I don’t know what this man wants to know, but I feel there is more to it than he has done so far.

I take the previous list and I take the role of two slaves, they are both human in their twenties, one was sold by the family and the other is a debt slave, he couldn’t pay his debts and fell into slavery, both have low-level skills but can be trained.

I hand the five papers to Richard.

“I would like to see these five slaves.” (I)

“I’ll bring them here sir, wait a moment.” (Richard)

Once again Richard leaves the room, this time to fetch the slaves I want to meet.

“What do you think of my choices?” (I)

“I could see the status and skills of the slave family he recommended, the mother and daughter are really high-level employees.” (Érica)

“The Man-Beast is also quite strong, with that status he must resist the miasma.” (Irina)

“What are the other two you chose master?” (Kira)

“A man and woman in their twenties, Humans.” (I)

“I understand.” (Kira)

We waited another ten minutes before Richard returned, as he entered he was followed by five people in servants’ clothes and a Man-Beast in leather armor.

The two White Elf women looked like sisters and not mother and daughter, they had light green hair and eyes, both were as beautiful as Diana’s friend Mari, they wore maids’ clothes, one had big breasts and loose hair, the other had medium-sized breasts with hair tied back, the one with loose hair had a calm and peaceful face, the one with the hair up had a worried face and kept looking at the Man-Beast beside her.

The Beast Man had big full orange hair, looked Human if not for the tail on his back and the ears on top of his head, he was Diana’s height of six feet, his skin is a little brownish. lighter than mine, he has a serious face, but I noticed that when he looks at the Elf beside him, his face softens.

The Human male appears to be in his twenties, he has short brown hair, has a normal body, no trained muscles, height five feet six, he has white skin and red eyes which is why I chose him.

The human woman appears to be in her twenties, she has dark blue hair that goes to her shoulders, her height is five feet six, her face has a big burn scar on it, she has beautiful black skin, her body everything is very beautiful, if it weren’t for your scar it would be beautiful.

“Here are the slaves you wanted to see.” (Richard)

“What is the value of each?” (I)

“(Hopefully not too expensive, I still need money for the black market auction in a week.)” (I)

“Freya is worth two crystal coins, her daughter is worth eight thousand gold, the Beast Man is worth seven thousand and five hundred, the two humans are worth ten gold each.” (Richard)

“The total value is 35,520 gold.” (Richard)

“Why such a high price? I find it hard to believe that even the Duke would be willing to pay that price for slaves.” (I)

“Let me explain, Freya and her daughter are pure-blooded White Elves, both are beautiful even among their kind, and are considered elite servants, Freya still has archery skills that let even army archers with their mouths open and they both have a very long life expectancy, they are extremely valuable.” (Richard)

“The Man-Beast is a powerful combat slave, being from the tribe of Lions only increases his value further.” (Richard)

“The other two have the value of normal slaves, usually women have greater value than men, but as this one has scars on her face, their values ​​are equal.” (Richard)

“I’m not going to lie to you, I’m interested in buying all five, but I’m not going to pay that high for just five slaves.” (I)

“The most I can do is give the two Humans away for free as a bonus and only charge 35,500 gold.” (Richard)

“You’re not even trying Mister Richard, it was nice meeting you.” (I)

I stand up with a disappointed face and the rest of my group follow me to the door before the maid who escorted us here steps in front of the door.

“Stay a little longer sir please.” (employee)

“I have nothing else to do here.” (I)

“Very well sir, as this is your first purchase I can give you a discount of five thousand five hundred gold, what do you think?” (Richard)

“I don’t think I like to waste my time negotiating Mr. Richard, but as I’m really interested in these slaves if you let me pick one more for free I can make a deal with you.” (I)

“…” (Richard)

Richard narrows his eyes and assesses me again, but he won’t see any change in my expression or tone of voice.

“You win, I’ll get our catalog for you to choose, wait for me here.” (Richard)

I sat back down on the couch and waited, it took him almost forty minutes to come back with a reading crystal in hand that he left on the table in front of me.

“This is our catalog, feel free to choose sir.” (Richard)

The girls had already taught me how to use these information crystals, it’s not that different from the way I used a cellphone or tablet in my old world, the only difference is concentrating mana on the fingertips to use.

It took me only fifteen minutes to choose someone, a Dark Elf, I did it because she is an expert in combat, by the description, she is very injured due to constant battles that now she is no longer able to fight if it weren’t for the scars ruining her beauty and the wounds she suffered that make it impossible for her to fight again, so she could get the same value as Freya.

“I’ll want this one.” (I)

Richard looks at the one I’ve chosen and narrows his eyes.

“I’ll get her for you now.” (Richard)

Richard asks the maid to get this Black Elf now, in a few minutes the maid comes back with a woman with scars all over her body and face, she has white hair tied back, her height is six feet if I look well and leaving the scars aside I can see that your body is well built like a warrior’s, I look into your eyes and see a strong will in them.

“We closed in three crystal coins for the six slaves, right?” (I)

“Yes, can I wait for you to go get the money if you want?” (Richard)

“No need for that, here’s the payment.” (I)

I take three crystal coins from my ring and leave it on the table, the maid who had brought the Dark Elf comes to the table and takes the coins.

“Very well, I have received payment, I will prepare the paperwork, wait a little longer sir.” (Richard)

Richard asks the maid to take some papers from another room, so he puts them on the table and then writes the slaves’ names on a piece of paper, then gives them all to me.

“These are the standard slavery certificates after the master becomes the master of these slaves can free them by tearing up each one’s contract, the last document is a magical contract for the God of Commerce to recognize that this is an agreement in which the two parties agree, please sign the documents.” (Richard)

“I understand.” (I)

I start reading and then signing all the documents, I can’t entirely believe their words so I read them to make sure there was nothing to harm me in the future.

“I, Richard, ask the God of Commerce to be a witness to this deal, that he be the judgment for the one who breaks this contract.” (Richard)

The magical contract catches fire and a symbol comes out of it that divides into twelve and goes to twelve contracts, Richard keeps six and leaves six in front of me that Erica takes and keeps.

“Okay, that’s almost done.” (Richard)

“The six slaves can extend their right hand.” (Richard)

After the slaves have extended their hands, Richard has extended his own hands and a symbol that matches the one I see on the back of most of the slaves comes out of Richard’s palm and hits the symbol on the back of the slave’s hand, then starts to glow slightly.

“<Slave transfer>” (Richard)

“All you need to do now is to drop a drop of your blood on the gleaming mark of slavery.” (Richard)

I pull a dagger from my waist and pierce the tip of my finger, then I go to them who kneel and drop a drop of blood on each of the slavery marks, so the mark on the back of their hand changes to a symbol that remembers my tattoos, but the symbol is one color being black.

After I finish I begin to feel a slight connection between these six slaves and me.

“It’s over, those six now belong to you sir.” (Richard)
