I was walking around for nearly 1hour and I suddenly stopped, I could hear a crowd of people shouting.

The man on the platform shouting his merchandise.

‘’Anyone want to offer higher for this thing?’’

The man on the platform gestured the other men to bring his merchandise

2men dragging 3people in the platform 2woman around her 10th’s and the other woman around her 20ths and a man with around his 20ths was dragged on by the 2men with bulging muscle and gestured the man on the platform that the preparation is finish.

‘’Is there anyone wants to buy this things, just raise your hand please’’

I was about to leave for the second time but stopped and thinking for a while and walk toward the platform and raised my hand.

‘’Mister I want to buy you’re merchandise’’

The man in the platform twitched his I brow for a while.

‘’Get loss kid, we don’t sell food h…..’’

I on the other hand open my hand

The man on the platform clapped his hand and smile broadly

‘’Young master what would you like to purchased?’’

I raised my hand and pointed at the man on the left side of the platform.

‘’That man’’

The man at the platform, observe the young boy for a minute and grind.

‘’That would be 2gold’’

‘’Never mind bye!’’

The man on the platform was suppressed and began panicking and shouted.

‘’1GOLD’’

‘’sorry mister I change my mind’’

‘’5 big silver’’

Thinking for a while

‘’3 big silver that’s all’’

‘’Sold’’

‘’But first tell me about slaves?’’

‘’Sure’’

But the man on the platform gestured me with a money sigh so I throw 1gold coin at him it’s a payment of the slave and the information that I need and I was lead in the tent.

The tent Ciel was taken to was wide, and ten men and women lined up against the walls in handcuffs. Wearing simple, dirty tunics, they looked hesitatingly at Ciel. What kind of person buys them, their fate is in that party’s hands.

Ciel imagined what he looked like in the eyes of the slaves.

Ciel hardly looked old enough to be earning money. Did he even look like a merchant, noble or well-to-do young man…. Recalling his appearance, he smiled wryly, realizing that was not the case but Sadly Ciel could not see and there is no need for more slaves so he denied the offer, and listen to the information he needed.

‘’There are Crime slaves and Debt slaves, slaves sold for the sake of their families or villages called trade slaves.

 For Crime slaves, all of them belong to the country and are forced to work in the mines, etc, they are generally not sold.

 In general, there are only 2 kinds of slaves sold here : Debt and Trade slaves.

 Though there are people who are kidnapped and enslaved, because there is a very high penalty for handling such slaves, most merchants don’t deal in them.

 The slave’s actions are limited by a tattoo imbued with special magic, it is impossible to rebel against the owner.

 Though slaves don’t have rights, it is a crime to kill one without cause.

And I was lead in the platform and I was given a bronze ring and signed the contract and put my blood on the ring.

After collecting money I was lead outside as well as the slave that I buy.

‘’Follow me’’

And the slave man followed me

‘’…’’

…………

I raise my hand straight and waved it at the side of the road, the carriage stop and I enter the carriage with the slave.

‘’Where to?’’

‘’The nearest Item shop’’

After a while I asked the owner of the carriage is that what they so could coachman?

But the coachman after hearing the Item shop he scratched his head.

‘’Do you know something about the item shop?’’

‘’Will young lad your pretty smart for your age but I heard rumors about the shop but I don’t know if it’s true’’

And then we talk for a few minutes.

………..

And after a while we finally arrived at the front of the Item shop but suddenly the slave talk.

‘’I know you have lots of money’’

‘’So?’’

The slave looked very angry

‘’Why didn’t you buy the other slaves as will? ‘’

His mind is full of emotion.

Ciel think for a moment and spoke.

‘’hmmm, let’s see, I only need one and could only provide one’’

‘’B..But’’

‘’If you’re thinking that they need freedom but freedom is only good if you could hold something, Also it’s better to be a slave rather than die in hunger’’

‘’But, but’’

‘’Do you want me to go there buying slaves then think what will happened afterwards’’

The slave angry face turned pitiful.

Ciel Thinking for a few seconds and spoke.

‘’Remember this, am no God’’

‘’B………’’

The slave, look at the ground thinking of what he had done and why.

After the argument with the slave.

We enter the Item shop and the slave on the other hand, just keep looking at the ground thinking.

‘’Hello there, Dear customers, can I help you’’

The Woman smiled and welcomed the customers but tilted her head for a minute and look left and right and thinking ‘surely there was 2people foot steps’

But when she looked at the customer in front of her, her gaze turn sour and looking closely she could see holes in his 1peice of cloth and Missy hair, she twitched her eye brow again and was about to call the guards at the back…

But….

Suddenly stopped

‘’Do you think it’s just rude to block you’re customers way, don’t you think?’’

The woman on the entrance frowned from the sudden voice, look below the table and she could see a child but when she looked closely the boy’s eyes has no pupil.

(Pft..)

‘’Pft…Customers? Ahahhahah look at your selves, that man (Pointing at the slave) is a beggar, he could not even buy his own cloth properly filthy and a kid who’s age around his seventh years old, who could hardly see his way hahahah, who would want costumers like you?’’

The Woman on the table laughed hard and the guards on the back smiled broadly and seeing the woman laugh they laughed as will.

‘’Yes indeed who would want customers like as, will it can’t be help seeing ignorant people around, oh wait I can’t see but I could sense sharply and I could smell that only men have, perhaps ‘night’ serves’’

The woman on the table her face turned pale blue. 

‘’And one more thing I heard that you and the owner of this shop have a relationship and what would he think if he found out?’’

 The woman on the table her hand is shaking.

‘’hahahah you’re bluffing right? Where’s your proof?’’

And I look at the 2guards and winked even if I can’t see, I could feel that they are scared, the woman on the table crying?

(For real?)

‘’P..Please, please (Sob) am scared please don’t tell the owner please’’

Thinking for a minute and spoke.

‘’Will, I’ve been thinking for a will now, am short on money you know, perhaps? You know’’

The woman on the table face turn normal and with a relief seeing that she only need to pay.

‘’I’ll pay, I’ll pay just name the price’’

‘’hmmm, how about 100gold it’s a fair price you know’’

The woman on the table grinned widely and gestured the guard to bring the money

‘’While you’re getting the money, I’ll be looking around’’  

………………….

Author: If you guys are thinking how he found out, he heard rumored on the way, remember carriage owner or the coachman talking with the MC? And how sharp his sense of smell and guessed it, and also the guards since the beginning the smell of woman was still on their shirt so he had around 90% chance that he was right so that’s how it is….

……………………. 

I entered inside the Item Shop and I could feel that there was a presence of people around me buying items.

Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.

‘’I command you, find a fine sword and knife that suit’s me’’

‘’…..’’

The slave just walk and looked around without saying anything and I on the other hand just walking around and did not mind the gaze of people looking at me suspiciously ‘will I don’t really care, as long as they don’t bother me’

‘’Hi miss could I ask you where’s the owner of this Item shop?’’

The lady that was asked looked at the boy for a moment and sigh.

‘’Right! Follow me young master I will lead the way’’

And the boy was lead in front of the big door 

‘’Thank you’’

The lady bowed and walk away returning to her post.

I could feel a single presence inside the room and I just slide a letter below in the door and walked away.

……

Feeling my surrounding and walked straight and I could tell there was someone sticking out there foot trying to trip me but I stopped before I would be trip, I walk pass him and pick a nearby piece of wood and throw it at the top of a cabinet sword and it landed on the foot of the person who was trying to trip me.

And I could hear some nice scream, smiling and walked away.

And after a while of observing my surrounding’s I asked the nearby lady to where they put the ‘Magic crystal dust’ and buy One hundred liter of magic crystal and 0ne hundred liter of ‘Magic Iron dust’ and also buy all kinds of tools that is used for blacksmithing, after a while the slave finally return and helped me picking nice equipment and tools and finally at the counter.

The lady who looked like some model who was observing the two people since the beginning smiled happily.

‘’What can I do for you young master~’’

I pass a paper that was given by the lady before who was helping me as will picking equipments and tools.

‘’I would like to know, how much I would pay for the purchased Items’’

  And the lady at the counter read the content of the paper but look earnestly below the letter that have the signature of the lady before.

‘’Magic sword 100gold coin

Dagger 100gold coin

Magic Armor set 1000gold coin

Magic crystal dust 1000gold coin

Magic Iron dust 500gold coin

Blacksmith tools 1Set 100gold coin

That would be 2800gold coin, young master’’

I signaled the slave to get a carriage outside and pulling a magic leather bag out of the coat that I prepared and give it to the lady in the counter.

‘’Check the content’’

The lady who looked like a model at the counter, looked at the magic leather bag with a look of doubt and poured the leather box at the table.

Clanking noises

The gold coins is rolling all over the place, the lady who looked like a model at the counter and other employee was panicking, after a few minute of counting the gold coins and confirming the amount of the gold coins exactly 2800gold coin they returned the magic leather box at the young master, who the people thought that he is some noble child and the slave was a knight or a bodyguard who was disguising themselves.

……..

The lady who looked like a model at the counter   

Grabbing the box in her left side and Draw X mark on the paper and signal the employees to carry the things that I buy out side.

‘’Thank you for purchasing, young master’’

After finished buying some staff…..

….

Outside of the entrance I could feel 3 presence, their eyes are looking at me.

‘’Be sure to keep your words’’

They throw a leather box at my feet and left smirking, what a sudden change of attitude, will If, I think carefully she was like that to began with.

At the street people at the corners gazing at the boy, observing every move he make’s.

….

I entered the carriage and talk with the coachman where our destination is.

‘’Royal capital blacksmith’’

After 1hour the carriage suddenly stopped, the coachman was panicking.

(It’s about time)

I look at the slave even if I could not see him and ask.

‘’How many?’’ 

The slave take a look back outside and look at the young boy that is currently his master.

‘’Fifty melee carrying a bastard sword, 30 long range and 16mage, 96 in total’’(Ciel)

I was surprise

‘’Heh, to think that lady would hire mercenaries instead of assassin,… but am surprise I thought slaves don’t know how to count or read?’’

‘’I know you already know as will that am quit knowledgeable, that why you pick me am I right?’’

I was surprise a second time

‘’So you can’t really judge a book by its cover, ha!’’

The slave scratched his head.

‘’I think where done for’’

‘’hahaha, don’t worry I already invited some guests’’

‘’…?....’’

I signaled the coachman to not move and step outside and walk straight at the mercenaries and feel the bigger presence and guessed it to be their leader and bowed my head and smirked at their leader.

…..

The Mercenaries who was blocking our way, their leader raising his brow after seeing the boy who smirked, the leader jumped off his horse, shouting, and releasing killing intent.

‘’Brat are you mocking me’’

The young boy tilted his head and finger on the lips cutely the leader seeing this got red in anger.

‘’What do you mean mister? why would I mock you when I can’t even see? Mister~ are you perhaps blind~’’

‘’GGGGGAAAAAAAA!!, I’ll fucking kill, you Brat’’

On the rear side a woman with large build, used wind type magic to accelerate her movements.

The mercenary leader charge straight at me but was stopped by the Woman in the adventurer guild.

I on the other hand bend my waist and look at the mercenary guy form behind the woman, I smiled ear to ear as if mocking the mercenary guy leader, the mercenary leader that see the brat smiling ear to ear that was way to creepy shuddered and twitched, but the moment the mercenary leader lose attention of the woman who was blocking his sword, kicked the mercenary leader abdomen.

The mercenary leader guy struggled to fall, holding his stomach and his armor, the abdomen area of the armor their form a feet.

‘’Mister are you alright~’’

The mercenary leader who was clutching his abdomen in pain could no longer hold his consciousness and fainted.

The woman in the guild, who was observing the whole time, for a while now shuddered after looking at the young man on her left side who looked way to creepy.

‘’Please don’t smile like that its way to creepy’’

I look at the woman and tilted my head in confusion.

‘’Is it that creepy~ I thought it was cute~’’

 The woman remembered that smile a moment ago that ear to ear smile and she shuddered again and thinking, while retorting (Cute my ass)

Meanwhile the other mercenaries was ambushed by a group of adventurer, the mercenaries fight for a short period of time but when their boss was defeated effortlessly, seeing that they don’t have a chance of winning they all throw their weapons and surrender.

…………..

A Carriage 1kilometer away,

Who was observing the mercenaries and the young boy, using magic device.

‘’ahhaha your done for brat hahah’’

‘’hahaha lady Amatra you’re a genius’’

‘’Right, right, lady Amatra is so evil~’’

The 2men who look like guards smiled after seeing the happy face of lady Amatra. 

The 3person Laughing suddenly stop there happy face turned grim.

….

The moment that the brat was about to be hit by the sword, the sword was suddenly stopped by an unexpected guest. Also the mercenaries was ambushed by a groups of adventurer.

Lady Amatra seeing this punched the table kicking around but when she look again in the crytal magic device again the young boy look up.

(Gasp)

‘’……..’’

‘’Is he looking at me?’’

The young boy, pick a nearby stone.

And then he waved his hands up while smirking.

‘’No way!’'
