Lucius, Magnus and Savra soon arrived at the grand dining hall, where they would have their dinner. Lucius also realized that Ragnar was not here.
Lucius, who was curious, immediately asked Savra about it: "Miss Savra, where is Sir Ragnar? Why don't I see him here?"
Savra, who was now eating, then immediately explained it. "He is currently handling some important matter and it needs his presence."
Lucius, who was also eating, then understood it: "I see, he is quite a workholic, even though he looked not like it."
Savra only smiled and said, "He sure is and I will remind him about your new position so don't you worry about him not knowing about you."
Lucius nodded and kept eating while Savra and Magnus also continued to eat their foods that had been prepared by the maids.
And soon the dinner passed and the maids soon prepared some desserts for them to eat but Lucius declined it as he was a bit tired.
"I am sorry but I don't feel so good so if I may, I want to return to my room for the night." Lucius said as he began to stand up.
Savra nodded and smiled. "Sure, you can return to your room and also don't forget, as tomorrow the slave dealer will come."
Lucius nodded and returned to his room. He then immediately changed his clothes and fell down on his bed to sleep.
The next morning, when he woke up, he was surprised to find out that he was currently being surrounded by some beautiful maids.
They were now basically cleaning up his room and also one of them began to approach Lucius and bowed, "Good morning, Sir Lucius. We've been assigned to attend to your needs."
Lucius, who heard it, smiled as he didn't reject them. "Assigned, you say? Well, I won't complain. Let's see how well you perform."
The maids then immediately do what they were assigned. They immediately guided him through his morning routine, preparing a warm bath and selecting a fine set of tailored clothes for him.
Lucius allowed them to work without interruption and he was also quite comfortable being served by beautiful maids.
He also commented as the maids were still dressing him up, "You're quite skilled. I see the Volcaria family doesn't cut corners."
The maids then nodded and smiled, "Thank you, sir, as we take pride in our line of work, Sir Lucius."
Lucius then smiled as the maids finished their work, and soon the door was opened and Magnus came in while telling him some news: "Elder Lucius, the slave dealer has arrived. He's brought the slaves you requested."
Lucius, who looked at Magnus, smiled and said, "Good. Let's not keep him waiting and please lead the way."
Magnus then began to lead the way and both of them soon arrived at a huge hall where the slave dealer and Savra were already waiting.
The slave dealer whose name was Sallos began to bow to Lucius and said, "Sir Lucius, as per your specifications, I've brought some slaves for you to choose from."
Sallos then immediately instructed the guards and soon they brought five slaves inside the hall: "They're of exceptional quality as they are intelligent, strong, and loyal."
Lucius then began to scan the first three slaves and the three of them were really the ones that were based on his specifications.
All of them were beautiful and had silver hair just like him but still, when he looked at the last two, these three were defeated in beauty.
Lucius also immediately used his system to scan the three of them and soon found out their talents were all Lord Talents.
Lucius could only shake his head as he really didn't want them, as their talent was only Lord-Level and if raised by a level, it could only be King Talent.
Lucius then began to observe the last two slaves and he smiled as they were both even more beautiful than the previous three but one of them surprised Lucius.
One of them was the same as a beautiful woman as usual but she had an extra feature such as beast ears and a beast tail.
Lucius then looked at Sallos and said, "This one here... is quite different, as I never see a human with beast characteristics."
Sallos then began to explain about her to Lucius, "She is a beastman, sir. A member of a new tribe that has only recently appeared. And also, beastmen are hybrids, as they are the offspring of humans and beasts."
Lucius, who heard it, immediately became interested, as in his past life, he quite liked something like this: "Interesting. What's the difference between them and the other humans?"
Sallos then began to explain it: "Beastmen are physically stronger than humans but not as powerful as a beast."
Sallos paused then continued, "However, their main weakness is their inability to awaken any form of talent, as they were basically half beasts."
Lucius soon understood and realized that beastmen were not really welcomed, but Lucius would like to see if she was really talentless or not by scanning her immediately.
[Name: Liora]
[Species: Beastman (Lion)]
[Element: None]
[Level: 1 Star]
[Stats:]
[Str: E (1★)]
[Vit: E (1★)]
[Agi: E (1★)]
[Int: E (1★)]
[Skills: Scratch]
After Lucius looked at her status screen, Lucius was surprised. It was because the system didn't even classify her as a human but instead a beast. It can be seen from her data sheet.
Lucius also thought about it: "She is also indeed stronger than humans, as her stats are already E-Tier. She is also stronger than normal beasts."
But still Lucius was still wondering something as he thought, "I wonder if she is classified as a beast; does that mean that she can be tamed by a tamer?"
Lucius was really curious about it as he looked at Liora the beastman and it immediately made her a bit nervous after being glared by Lucius for a long time.
