Next morning, abhay woke up with tama sleeping soundly next to him. He woke her and took her in the bathroom.
***
After feeling satisfied, he put on his clothes.
He walked out of the inn and was looking for a dark alley. As this place was near to the entrance of the town, this place was always bustling with activity.
After looking around for a while, he found a man sleeping above some garbage bags in a corner. He went near him and realized he was drunk. He simply ate his memory and started walking toward center of the town.
He searched for a local so that he can find about the city. His main targets were city lord mansion, sun academy branch, slum area, market, black market, beyond store and slave traders area.
He wanted to know aboutCity lord mansion as it was the strongest power in the city. Sun academy branch for obvious reasons. Slum area to hypnotize people to make his troops and slave traders area to find some professional fighters to train slum people and get some professionals under him.
Market to replenish his supplies and black market to try his luck. Black market is not reliable and products are not certified but he have read in many novels that you can find rare bug items there.
Because of his passive skill 'luck', he was quite confident.
Beyond store is controlled by the beyon family, one of the superpowers on the continent. Their family head is among the top 5 strongest people on this continent. You can find top quality goods there. They have a branch in every top tier city and almost all second tier city as well.
Due to some unknown reasons, they have a branch in all the small cities in the vicinity of mark city but not in mark city itself.
Abhay wanted to go there to find some equipments and clothes for himself and Tama.
He first headed toward the slave traders area. This was a whole block filled with slave stores. As slave traders have fierce personalities and no one wanted to be affiliated with them,atleast on the surface, this was a whole separated block.
He directly went inside and went straight for center area. All the shops in the outskirts were low level traders who sell low quality sex slaves and some basic level combat slaves.
The good materials can only be found inside. He went imside a large 2 storey building. This was the place where you can find highest tier slaves in every field. This shop owner was quite famous for the quality of his goods.
It was said that he have ties with some bandits and city lord mansion. That's how he manages to get his hands on high quality products.
After entering inside, abhay saw an old man sitting on the reception table. The receptionist greeted him with a smile," Esteemed customer, how may I help you?"
"I am here to buy a large amount of slaves".
" Okay,sir. Ella! Come here".
A young teen girl walked out from the inside.
She looked at abhay with a seductive smile," Please follow me sir". She started walking inside.
Abhay silently followed her inside. Inside was a dark room and a staircase leading underground. After he went down the stairways, he saw a prison like room.
There was a corridor with cells on both sides. There were guards standing inside the whole corridor from beginning to the end. There were around 150 of them.
Abhay checked their levels. They were starting from lv8 reaching highest for lv12.
'This is some low ass security. If the guards are not higher than lv12, are slaves all low level as well. ' he thought as he observed his surrounding.
"What kind of slave are you looking for,sir?" Ella asked.
"Mainly combat type "
"Oh, combat type slaves are on the floor below us". She daid as she started walking toward the other end of the corridor.
Abhay followed closely behind.
When he reached the end of stairs, he saw a man resting on a chair in the middle of the corridor. There were no guards here, only two elf maid slaves massaging his body.
"Boss". Ella called out.
" Hmm"? The man opened his eyes and looked at abhay. Even though abhay does not have a noble aura around him, his armor was of high quality.
The man stood up.
"Boss, he is here to buy combat type slaves". Ella said and left after that.
" What are your requirements? How many do you want? What level and what specifically are you looking for?"
"I will buy as many as you have who fill my criteria. I will buy all combat slaves you have".
" Huh, are you sure you're not joking?" The man asked in disbelief. He has been in this business for more than a decade and never seen a situation like this one.
" You are right, I can't make rash decisions like that. I will buy all slaves above lv8, be it sex slaves, profession slaves or combat type. I'll buy them all". Abhay said after thinking.
He is already lv9 and can easily hypnotise lv8 people and turn them into his slaves. Even if he will level up soon and can increase his criteria, that will be for later.
His initial goal is to create his own personal army. They can't be too weak but numbers held power. He have to balance both his requirements.
The shop owner looked at him disbelief again. He calmed himself down," S-sir, please wait here. Let me count goods according to your requirements and sum up their costs".
"Okay".
The shop owner went inside next room and came back after five minutes.
" Sir, I have a total of 1274 slaves who fill your requirements including humans, elfs, dwarfs, and beastmen. 684 lv8-10, 78 lv11-12, 209 lv13-15, 115 lv16, 52 lv17, 100 lv18-19 and 36 lv20".
Abhay nodded in satisfaction. Why keep my eyes open only for combat slaves. Other skills will be helpful as well. Now I don't have to look for adult male slaves in the slum.
I'll just get them all. I can create my own small independent empire inside the slums.
"How much for all of them?"
