Chereads / Requiem of Souls (Original) / Chapter 12 - Auctioned out

Chapter 12 - Auctioned out

After few days of travel, and camping, we finally reached the city gates, the girls had woken earlier and were really shocked to see our current state, the light faded from their eyes as they knew of their state…fucking stupid laws…

Once inside the city gates I saw marvelously built structures, with giant statues and buildings of great art everywhere. Yet this served nothing to change our shitty situation, we are still in deep shit and we can't do anything about it…

I took a look at the girls, they were both huddled up with each other. They look like they had lost hope… the elven girl was still silent, and only I was left to my thoughts, what are we going to do from now on? Serve as a noblemen's sex toy? Perhaps being flayed and humiliated all day long?

Ordered to serve, and do the most demeaning acts…shit! My mind can only think of the worst possible outcome…god damn it…how the hell did we end up in this situation, we were high school kids for god sake…

Once the caravan stopped within a marketplace I heard thunderous roars of people that were willing to purchase new 'personnel'.

At first the bastards did a display of merchandise, the unloaded the caravan and began walking us towards a stage. The first to go were two twins, which probably were too afraid to speak, they were green in color, with reptilian scales on them, a boy and a girl, clearly visible from the difference in their chest proportions.

"The first object of sale are these wonderful lizard men, they grow to become extremely laborious slaves, strong in hand and can do manual labor, the girl can do well in bed, if thought correctly, but I warn you to not let their sharp teeth mouth near your privates"

Said the man to which the horde laughed with glee

Disgusting pigs…

Once the display was set he began the auction

"Price starts off with 10 000gold a piece."

And the horde began the auction, adding the price per unit to rise all the way to 120 000 an item, an old woman wearing a blue dress, with several lizard type servants at her disposure took the both of them, a look of disgust was painted on all three of us when we saw, that the lizards accompanying her all had their tails missing…she probably cuts them off to her own reasons but seeing these small children go like that leaves a bad taste in my mouth…

More bets went on, and everyone was sold with relatively high price…until it was time for the elf

"One of today's best offers, a wood elf from the eastern elf kingdom, only 120 years old with quite the magic aptitude, she has 3000 mana units in her mana pool which is by no mean small. Quite beautiful and elegant, and would do wonders in a man's bed…"

The cheers rose higher as if they saw a trophy to obtain, the look of depravity on most of the present men here makes me want to gag…I wonder if our fate is the same as this…

"Opening price 100 000 Gold piece!"

Though the opening price was high, many jumped to the bet, and the price skyrocketed without pause…

Until an old fat man took it. Fucking clichéd scenes is being done right after my eyes, the fat sweating pig, obtaining a beautiful elven slave. To do what he had wished and was not capable of on free women…what a sickening world…

"Sold for 500 000gold piece to the master merchant Dedia"

"Now lastly, an item that was never presented in any of the markets and probably will never do, for those that had kept their money for the last object I assure you, you took the right choice, as for those that don't have enough then you can just satisfy your eyes with seeing."

He brought the three of us out, chained together with one chain and presented us,

One of the men then said

"Those are just humans! We have thousands of those as salves here…are you trying to trick us, Jinra?"

"No, I would never do that dear costumer, these are indeed humans, but not your regular kind…these are summoned heroes"

To this word everyone turned quiet, some even held the pommel of their swords, fearing our wrath.

"What the hell are you doing with such dangerous item here in our kingdom, don't you know what they're capable of these summoned ones?" said the same man

"Yes, I do, but with the choker, they are mere slaves, imagine having a summoned hero as a slave, not a single one of you bastards can dream of it, I would have taken one for my own but I am afraid that my thing is too big that it will break them, so it's a waste of material. Oh and guess what, they are all virgins, so you get to have an interesting romance the night, and an amazing reputation by day. The one that has enslaved a summoned hero, tell me that that doesn't sound catchy?"

"Starting price. 1 000 000 gold piece a unit." He added.

I don't know if I should feel disgusted or proud that we were sold so high, but I will be damn sure to pay them back for this.

The prices began to rise, even the pig faced man joint in. rising to 5 000 000 for all of us combined the pig almost took it, until a handsome looking man came in, he was wearing a red suit, adorned with elegant clothes, the horns on his head and the tail behind him, the gentleness of which he carried himself, his physique and visage, also the redness of his eyes all spoke of honor and elegance, yet if you would deeply see in his eyes, this all looks like a lie, as true power and might was what hiding behind that gentle and kind face.

"10 000 000 Gold piece!" said the man in red

To which everyone turned, and instantly knelt down.

The giant too, knelt, not wanting to disrespect the man.

"Your majesty, what are you doing here in such a palace?" said the giant.

Majesty…is he one of the royals?

"Jinra the giant, it's been long…back to slave trading I presume?"

"Yes, your majesty, working as a mercenary is not that worth it anymore, the risks outweigh the gains…"

"Doesn't matter, I was just surprised to see actual summoned heroes here in my kingdom…I will be taking them, you can go to the treasurer to get your pay."

The fat man then rose

"Your majesty, you have all the women in the kingdom, let us have some fun for ourselves…"

The man in red then looked at the fat man with eyes filled with disgust and said

"Your fun is disgusting. These girls are not for me, nor am I interested in them, I have been looking for a suitable prize for the winner of this year's tournament and I think that these girls will do great. You can buy them from the winner if you like. Now piss off, I have a summoning session to command"

"Yes your majesty…" said the fat man and made way.
