Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: Purchasing Maid

Next Morning!

Easton woke up in a good mood. After washing and changing the clothes he rushed toward the south part of the town.

Today he is going to purchase a maid. He wanted to buy a mansion so he needs a maid to take care of chores.

Now that he has money he will buy one. 

Slavery is common in this world. There are thousands of slaves in a small town like this.

These slaves are the children of nobles houses or commoners who have committed grave crimes. As a punishment, these people are imprisoned and declared as slaves for generations. Slaves can only marry slaves, and the children they give birth to are still slaves. It's a never-ending cycle. 

In this world, a female slave was also known as a maid.

He came to the south of the town. Here is the Slave market.

The slave market is a big Nine-storey building. People are coming and going out after purchasing the slaves.

Slave industry is popular inside and like the Clear Breeze pavilion, it's supported by a high ranking noble house.

As Easton entered the building and one man came to him with a smile and asked," Young master What type of slaves do you want to buy? We have everything here, even slaves with the strength of a bronze warrior and even slaves with the strength of iron level." 

"I want to buy a maid." Easton saw the man's enthusiasm and said with embarrassment. 

Hearing this the old man gave him a knowing smile that every man understands and started with the introduction.

"Oh? Young master, you should have said this before. We have a lot of beautiful maids, there have blonde hair, Curly hair, and natural black hair. We have various body types: busty, petite, loli  ...." 

"I want a maid for house chores." Hearing the old man Easton sweated. He doubted whether the old man was a professional pimp.

Hearing him the old man was surprised but he continued, "Young master you are at the right place. We have a variety of maids as per your choice."

Saying this he took Easton to the third floor. Along the way, the old man explained to him types of maids.

Some maids are specially trained to accompany men and all of them are virgins. While some maids are proficient in various performance arts like dance, Singing, tea making.

Lastly, there are special types of maids who have the potential to become a warrior or spell masters. All of them are proficient in battles and are very tough.

According to the old man Ralph, all the maids are proficient in house chores. So he can choose from any type.

"So young master, what type of maid do you want?" Ralph looked at him with a smile and asked.

Easton thought for a while and said, "The one who has the talent to become a warrior." 

Since all the maids can do house chores it's better to choose those who have the potential to become warriors.

Hearing him Ralph was overjoyed, "Okay young master follow me." 

All the maids with warrior skills are very expensive and are sold at high prices. He can get a lot of commission if he manages to sell one.

Soon they arrived at the fifth floor here all the slaves with high potential are stored.

There are not many but a hundred or so girls here. All of them have been locked inside a cage. 

These female slaves' appearances were quite outstanding. It seemed that they would meet a good family who would buy them and take them away. He looked at every slave carefully but too bad he can not see their talent.

After some thought, he opened his eyes to the truth. Instantly he saw the difference. Many girls have either black or red aura around them.

According to the spelling content these aura represents their personality. Black aura represents a vile personality, people with this aura are extremely evil as they can betray others without batting an eyelid. Red represents the murderous personality people with this aura are murderous and are thirsty for blood, In an analogy, they are killing machines.

He did not want to hire a killing maniac or a villain so he eliminated the people with this aura. 

He walked around the room leisurely checking their aura one by one. Suddenly he noticed a golden aura. 

In a cage, there are two women. Both of them emit a golden aura. This aura represents that the person's personality is loyal and this is exactly what he wants. 

One woman is in her late twenties and another is around seventeen years old. Both of them are covered with dust and their physique is skinny and weak but their eyes are always calm, Unlike others. 

Easton's eyes brightened as he felt that these two are good. Suddenly he thought of something and said in his mind, "System, can you scan their potential?"

"100 Gold Coins per person!" A line of text appeared in front of him. Easton gritted his teeth and agreed.

Soon the talented information about the girls entered his mind.

'Name: Luna 

Age: 27

Occupation: Warrior 

Level: Third level Bronze(Original Level three   Golden)

Talent: A [Warrior]'

Note: (Talent are divided into F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS)

'Name: Zelda 

Age: 17

Occupation: Spell Master.

Level: Fourth level apprentice(Hidden)

Talent: S[Spell Master]'

Seeing their information Easton's pupil shrank to the size of the needle. One's level is destroyed or suppressed and another level is hidden.

Both of them have high-level talent and they have two different professions. Just seeing their talent he decided to buy them.

Both of them must have hidden stories and there is a risk by purchasing them but he didn't care. Their talent is amazing enough to attract his attention.

"What about those two?" Easton pointed at them and said. 

Ralph heard him and saw him pointing toward two women. These two are the most useless slaves in this room one does not have talent other cannot level up due to unknown reasons.

If he can sell them then he will definitely get a bonus.

"Young Master, you have good eyes. They are top-grade products. Usually, they are sold at a high price but since Young master likes them then I will give you a price of 3000 gold." Although he knew that these two are useless he did not hesitate to increase the price.

After all, he can get a lot of bonuses this way. 

"Okay do the paperwork I will take them away." Easton did not haggle with them as he directly gave him thirty golden notes. 

Ralph, who was ready to negotiate with Easton, was dumbfounded. Buying without haggling?

But he is more than happy with this. He sold two useless slaves at a high price which is very meritorious and his salary should increase.

Soon the paperwork was done and he decided the slavery contract of these two girls. The contract is not like the one he has, it's just a written contract of the ownership of two women. His name is written on it.

Of course, these people have their method to subdue and control the slaves. On the wrist of two slaves, there are two iron bands. 

These are magic artefacts and they are inscribed with various spells. If one slave is disobedient then the owner can command this wrist band and the slaves will experience inhuman pain.

Easton saw that from the beginning to the end both of these girls were calm. There was no trace of excitement or resentment on their faces.

It's like nothing in this world can make them emotional. Easton smiled at this and did not comment that he has prepared a high surprise for them.

Because he spent a large amount of gold here the shop prepared a carriage for him which met his requirement. 

Easton, Luna and Zelda sat on the carriage and went to the central district. On the way, he used the eyes of truth to see their loyalty.

25 and 22 were the loyalty values. Strangers have 5 to 20 loyalty values. Acquaintances have 21 to 30 loyalty values. Friends have 31 to 60 loyalty values. Loved ones have 61 to 80 loyalty values and lastly, Life and Death Partners have 81 to 99 loyalty values.

No person can have 100 loyalty values as everyone has their independent thinking. They can't just listen to him blindly.

22 for Luna and 25 for Zelda. This is a good start as they have just met. The Eyes of Truth is really useful; their character is indeed loyal.

But for Easton, this is not enough. He is greedy therefore he wants a minimum of 80 loyalty values. To achieve this he placed the

'Mark of Love' on both of their bodies. Both of them did not notice his actions which made him relieved.

Soon the carriage arrived at the central part of the town.
