"Are you saying that you want to buy away my daughter?"
Xina's mother, Silm, looked at the young man in front of her, knowing that his identity was not ordinary through the exquisite robes he was wearing.
Silim was a bit constrained, she hadn't entertained such a big shot, but fortunately, the attitude of the man in front of her was gentle, completely unlike those tyrannical nobles.
"No, Ms. Silim, I am acquainted with Xina her father, Kreon. Earls, so I wish to take Xina away and give her a better environment."
"Kreon, oh, it's that damn mercenary, Xina's father. How is he now?" Silhouette asked without a care in the world.
"He's dead."
"That's a good thing." It was clear that Silm didn't have the slightest bit of emotion for Xena's father.
"But my lord, my daughter is only twelve years old, shouldn't you wait another two years ... Oh, so that's how it is." Suddenly Silim's face revealed a look of realization.
There were indeed quite a few nobles who would have such a fetish.
If she could sell Xina out earlier, it would be a good thing for her, and she would be able to retire earlier and enjoy her happiness sooner.
"I raised Xina with great pains, I can't let you take her away like this for nothing, she is my hope!" At the thought of this, Silim's eyes became slightly agitated.
Xina stood by the side, expressionless as she watched the conversation between her and Leon.
Enishi stayed close by her side, placing her hands on her shoulders.
"Yes, Ms. Silim, I can understand how you feel." Leon took out a large money pouch and placed it on the table with a muffled thump.
"Here are three hundred gold coins."
Silim's eyes went straight, good lord, she had never seen so many gold coins in her life.
Silkrim subconsciously gulped, not even wondering where Leon had taken out such a large bag of money from.
However, she still opened her mouth and said, "But I've heard that those superb female slaves are the ones that can be sold for as much as five hundred gold coins ..."
"Tsk, beast." Enishi unceremoniously despised, and she could feel Xina's petite body trembling slightly.
Leon's gaze grew cold and became somewhat dangerous. "Ms. Slim, do you know who you are talking to?"
Mother Xina then realized that the one sitting in front of her was a brutal noble! These guys never looked at the lives of commoners as if they were lives.
"Da ... lord, I was wrong. You take Xina away, and from now on, she will be your person." Silim carefully gathered the money bag in front of her into her arms, as if this was the only way to make her feel somewhat secure.
"No, you misunderstand, I'm only taking over Xena's custody for the time being, and when she comes of age, I'll set her free if she wants to come back." Leon explained.
"Yes, my lord, as long as you are happy."
Silim didn't believe in this nonsense, in her eyes, Xina had already become a toy for this nobleman in front of her to vent his animalistic desires.
Leon didn't bother to explain anything else to this woman, and said to Xina, "Take anything you want to bring with you, and talk to your mother again if you want."
Leon then walked out of the cramped room.
Immediately afterward, Xena followed, empty-handed, her hands gripping the skirt of her dress, her gaze a bit blank.
She had just been sold.
Though she had known about this fateful outcome, she hadn't expected it to come so quickly, so suddenly.
"Won't you talk to her again? She is your mother after all."
"I've already said goodbye to her."
Leon reached out and stroked the young Wraith's head, and the Wraith didn't resist.
Maybe this was good, at least she had Sister Enishi to keep her company, and although she couldn't guess Leon's purpose, she didn't think Leon was a bad person.
"I will take good care of you, don't be afraid."
"Okay, brother Leon."
Hearing that title, Leon gave a soothing smile.
It felt good to be called brother by the Demon Lord.
Leon said, "I have a sister about your age, you and her might play well together."
Xena nodded obediently.
But Leon thought about Lucy's imp-like personality, and suddenly had a bit of a headache again. Lucy probably couldn't have imagined that the playmate she brought back for her would be a real demon king!
There was no telling how that little ninny would show her face when she realized Xina's true identity.
Xina glanced back at the old apartment, which held more than a decade of her memories, albeit depressing, painful and boring.
Leon took her small, uneasy hand in his, "Come on. Go to your new home."
Suddenly, a sharp call came from behind.
"Wait!"
Enishi rushed into her room in a fiery rush, followed by a banging commotion.
Just by listening to the sound, Leon was already able to visualize the scene where Enishi fell on her face.
"Ahh! It hurts!"
"Finished! My paralyzing potion spilled!"
"Ah! My hands! My feet! Can't move!"
Leon asked Xena, "Is she always like this?"
Xina: "Used to it."
Leon was a bit helpless, there were always so many oddballs within the main character group. Leon had heard about Enishi's sloppy personality, which made her famous among the players, giving birth to quite a few funny stems that were variously brought to life by the players.
She herself shouldn't want to know.
...
Although it was more troublesome to go from Lech City to Sangta City, requiring one to cross the Ghost Mountains, it was easier to return to Lech City from Sangta City.
In Sangta City, there was a one-way spatial teleportation array that directly teleported to Lech City.
As for why it was one-way ...
Rayne: "Master Hanlomu, why did you cut off the space teleportation array coming from Lech City?"
Hanlomu: "Hmph! That Gujaman fellow comes to me for three days and treats me like free labor! Whenever that guy gets kicked out of his seat as the city lord, when will that spatial teleportation array be restored!"
When Joel talked to Leon about this matter, Leon was also a bit unable to hold his tongue.
What exactly had his own father done to make this Sangha City Lord have such a big grudge.
Xina was a little curious as she looked at the formation in front of her that was shimmering with silver light, while Enihi was carrying a huge backpack.
Leon glanced at Enishi, "It costs quite a bit of money to directly teleport these things."
"These are my life." Enihi said rather seriously.
Leon: "Don't you have a space ring? While it's true that some things can't be stowed in a space ring, these materials shouldn't be."
Enishi: "I used to have one, and accidentally lost it."
Leon: ...
It's like I know why this guy is in such a mess.
