After hearing Julian's question, Kiernan turned silent for a moment while eating his food that included chicken breasts and broccoli with some cheese sauce.
"There're two ways to gain freedom," Kiernan started with. "Win the freedom by defeating another 5-Star slave. That means we would need to reach Martial Grandmaster level of strength, which is simply not possible to do in 2 months.
"The second is for someone else to purchase our freedom. Someone who is not a slave and has the money to do so."
"That's your plan?" Julian asked with a frown. "To get someone to buy us? That's a ridiculous idea. Even if some purchase us, we'll just become their slaves instead. They say they're buying our freedom, but really they're just trading one master for another."
"It's also expensive," Kiernan said. "I did some research, and apparently Otto has put a price tag on our heads if anyone is willing to buy us. We're worth 25,000 gold coins."
"Each or together?!"
