Chapter 13 - Slaves

Dawn came and it was the start of another day for my plan. This time, I'm gonna try to recruit. But with only a few golds and silvers, I don't think I would be able to hire ten people.

Perhaps I should think about an alternatives. Hiring an adventurer or mercenary will not be a great thing for me especially when I will be fighting an entire country on my own. Not only that, I can't trust these people with the weapons they can't really understand. It might broke or explode due to their misuse and their mistreatment might cause it to malfunction before they can be use it.

So for now, I set aside the plan for recruiting mercs. I left the sleeping bunny with a pat and left for the slave market. In time in need, desperation makes you hypocrites, and I don't mind doing that. Slavery is the best thing I could think of if I will execute my plan smoothly without problem.

A few study for them and they will be able to learn it. Back then, I once study the structure of this slavery they call. They are disgusting, that's a fact, but since their world doesn't forbid such act, they are all over the place. Even the people don't hate them. As if they're a normal business carried out by normal people.

I arrive at the place. It was big which means the business is booming. Probably because we are near the desert merchant route where the merchants are in need of great manpower just to deliver it to the other side.

When I enter, I was greeted by a people wearing butler suit and maid dress. They made a formal greeting and so did I. They then guided me to their master who is smirking and seem to be reading my entire being.

"Welcome, dear customer. What do you want? Labor slave, Sex slave, or just a normal one that can be accompanied in your adventurer. Though the normal one is the most expensive since they can be your labor and sex slave at the same time."

Should I just destroy this facility? It seems like it's not even worth it speaking to this imbecile. I can't even think of anything to reply from his unnatural way of speaking.

"I'm here for a slave, how much is a normal one."

He smile, and open his arms wide.

"A normal one can range around 3 to 20 golds depending on their stats. Just like I said, they can even be your company at night while doing the labor you ordered."

That sounds ridiculous. And it cost too much, buying one is enough to empty half of my pocket money.

"How about the labor slaves?"

"The labor slaves are the cheapest, from 7 silver coins to 5 gold."

A wonderful price, but not enough.

Should I bargain?

I'll try a different approach, I'll ask for the last one and try to see if could buy ten of the labor slaves. Just with a minimum requirements needed to hold a heavy gun. Gatlings and m4s can't be handle by mere slaves without practice too.

"The sex slaves?"

"Sex slaves are only meant to be your company at night, but some can also be labor. This is due to their contract before they become slaves. Some hide their stats which unable them to be appraised."

So they are not sure, huh. Which left me to buy the labor slaves.

"Can you send me 5 pair of sex slaves and labor slaves."

"Shouldn't we just send normal slaves?"

"No, no thanks."

After that, he ordered his servant which later came a pair of slaves.

The sex slaves are normal to this world's standard, but they're clean and been with utmost care. They're porcelain skin looks smooth and it can be said that they are the people that can be desired upon.

While the labor sex is quite the opposite. It was barely taken care of, they also probably haven't washed since they got here, I don't know. I don't even wanna know, and their facial expression is blank as if they are not even humans or intelligent being.

The slave are divided by, not in their gender, but role. Since most are females even despite being labor slaves. But that is good since a female being slaves means they have the ability to get equal stand against man.

"Do you not have anyone that can fight?"

The man's face change to a sad one after hearing my question, it seems they don't sell such since they are just normal slave merchants.

"I'm sorry, but the law forbids the use of fighter slave in normal business due to the growing number of terrorism."

I see, so this world also has that kind of thing. Not only that, it can also be recognized as national threat. Either way, this ten slaves which I can bought is more than enough.

My plan is to have someone use a gun while other use an artillery for support. Though the weapon-user is still not many it's enough since I don't have much weapon I can give. I barely have the resources to have one.

Also, I didn't buy ten labors since they are not really desirable. Call it a selfish decision. I don't care.

"I'll be buying all of them."

"Then, the calculation has been done, since you're buying in group, each of them will cost equally. 5 gold coins each which is 25 and the labor is 7 silver coins each having 3 gold and 5 silver in total. Over all, your balance is 28 golds and 5 silver."

That's half of my current money, but it's worth buying. Not gonna buy some weird slaves that cost 10 slave worth of gold each.

With that, I will only have to sign a blood contract and their will is dependent to mine. A disgusting way of forcing their wills but an effective one.

Though, I'm not gonna make them slaves forever, after I got my revenge, they will be able to become free. I just need them for the time being.

Now, I will be buying my own facility outside the town since buying here will raise suspicion. I headed towards the inn where I found Yrea already woken up and wiping her body with the rag and warm water. I look at her for a bit after she notice me and get embarrassed.

Then I told where what I did making her surprise but not in a negative way. She just accept it and continue what she was doing.

Since I already got her permission, I head outside to see a carriage full of my slaves. We head out to the town and find a good spot that is owned by the we were buying.

A house or facility within the town cost around 10 to 20 gold coins, but outside where it was left unprotected, it wage around 5 to 10. Half cheaper than the other.

Either way, it's not like I can't protect myself, a few introduction of my knowledge and I'll be able to repel and attack, may it be bandits or magic beast.
