Slaves are not something taboo in this world. In fact, slave trading was often carried out and resulted in a very profitable business. Every day, the flow of people entering and leaving the slave market was countless.

Although it is different from the Modern Age where slavery seems to have been abolished, in this world, they actually promote it.

Slavery is not something that people in this world want to eradicate.

Because they need someone they can trust. Not only that, large organizations also need it. Even more so than the members of their own organizations.

Differences between members who join with their own interests will usually lead to conflicts with the interests of the organization. After all, magi were not stupid people who would obey everything an organization wanted.

However slaves were different, they were important pawns that would not cause any problems in carrying out their assigned tasks. They are like the best loyalists of an organization who will only care about the orders given.

The B-01 from the Betlam family is the best example. In fact, he did not hesitate to kill himself just to kill his enemy. As long as the task is completed, he will have no regrets.

Because of that, slaves are a commodity that people in this world really want.

In this world, slave trading is indeed a profitable business but not something that everyone can do. In Maple City, there are several organizations that have the capability of finding good products.

Austin Farmland, in Maple City, was one shop that could give Leon what he wanted. When he went inside, he saw a shopkeeper who had the aura of 8 rings.

"I told you, sir, I don't have what you want. Looking for someone at the five-ring stage is even very difficult for me to do. You should know how much it costs us just to raise a magus to reach the 5-ring stage."

"Still, we need a young person who can show their talent. Doesn't anyone have a limit of under 70 years of age?"

The shopkeeper answered kindly. "No sir. We do have a magus with 5 rings but your requirements are too excessive. You should know, when someone starts to enter the 5 ring stage, they should start to do their own research. Integrating the magic techniques he trained in the research so that the rings they have can be formed perfectly."

The man finally gave up. "Then forget it. I'll look at another 'farm'. However, I want my usual order. Can you do that?"

"Of course sir. I will send the products we have as usual."

The man looked satisfied and left the shop. The shopkeeper saw Leon and greeted him. "Is there anything I can help you with, esteemed customer?"

"I want to see the products you guys have."

"Ah, of course, sir. Please look at this." The shopkeeper took out a thick book and handed it to Leon. "Everything you need is here, sir. If you need additional criteria, then you can let me know. I'll check to see if what you need is there."

Leon took the book and started reading it slowly. There are thousands of people in it accompanied by pictures and complete descriptions of what they have.

From the cheapest such as maids, servants, or sex slaves. There are also those that are categorized as fighters and those that are sold specifically. There are even those that are specially modified with several additions such as extra arms, extra heads, or replacing organs with other materials.

"What is your highest Magus limit?"

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

"We only provide up to 6 ring magus. If circumstances permit, we can look for a 7-ring magus. But it's so rare because, at that stage, we would be better off signing him and letting him join our organization."

Leon flipped the book while looking around him. He looked towards the back of the book while looking at the shopkeeper.

"I want a Premium membership from Austin Farmland," Leon said as he returned the book. There was nothing that could attract his attention from the ordinary products inside.

"Sir, we don't have anything like a Premium membership. All our products are in this book." The shopkeeper still answered with a smile while looking at the man in front of him.

Leon took out the book given by the Innkeeper and started reading parts of Austin Farmland.

It was one of the best slave trading establishments in the world. As long as you have an item that can attract his attention, you can get other items that you couldn't even dream of getting.

Rumor has it that they have something that is not even of this world. Austin Farmland reportedly had a Magus who was at the 8 Loop stage and had access to places that an ordinary Magus couldn't imagine.

Leon reads this part and remembers the conversation he had with The Soldier. Even The Soldier also spoke highly of Austin Farmland because of how impressive the products he had were.

"As long as you have the Premium membership that Austin farmland provides, you can even look for various kinds of geniuses with unique talents. There are also various kinds of monsters, both in the form of animals and plants."

"Is that so? What are the necessary requirements?" Leon asked as he took another sip of Midnight Inn's finest.

The Soldier thought for a while and took out a glass with half water that glowed 100 different colors. "I gave them half of this thing just to get that card. But it was totally worth it."

"The humans I bought from them using this card really surprised me. Even they themselves didn't seem to care when they gave the little child to me."

Leon who is in Mr. Error form asks you confused. "They sound quite dangerous to have interactions with. Aren't they going to withdraw the goods they have sold?"

"No. They didn't. Austin Farmland has integrity in maintaining the trust that its customers have. Trust me, you won't regret it if you buy them. Even if it involves those with the Traits of Great Destiny."

"It's just that, there are requirements that you must fulfill to purchase using premium membership. Although this only applies to those who hold the Great Destiny trait." The soldier immediately gulped down a large glass of drink that looked like Rootbeer.

"Oh, what kind of requirements are those?"

"It's different for everyone. For the one I bought, he said that the kid wanted to learn and wanted to take revenge when he became strong enough. The requirements are different for each person but not that burdensome either."

The memory ends here. In fact, Austin Farmland is not what it seems. They sell goods according to the type of customers they have. This was the main reason why Leon came to this place.

"I already know about the premium membership you have. I have a friend who once bought and exchanged this item for you guys." Leon wrote a few words in the air and showed a picture he had seen before.

It was a picture of the item that the soldier showed at that time. The shopkeeper looked for a moment before looking back at Leon. "You are really something."

"Please come with me, esteemed customer." The shopkeeper took Leon to the door behind him.

Behind that door, there are many rooms that house various kinds of chained humans. Whether it's children, young men, or women.

They are all chained and placed in their respective cages and labeled based on their product category.

"This is where we present what we will sell. Some of them, as you can see, are categorized according to labels that you can see on the outside of the cage." The shopkeeper pointed towards a large room which he referred to as a stable.

The room had no walls at the front and was covered by special iron bars. Several servants and magi with 4 rings and above could be seen taking care of those people while teaching them.

"The treatment they have is so good. Is this even necessary to do?"

The shopkeeper laughed and was proud when Leon saw that. "Of course sir. We only provide the best to our customers. Besides, those who are here are the ones in the book I gave you before. We will ensure the quality of the products we offer to customers."

Leon nodded and didn't ask any further. To be honest, he didn't have much prejudice against what was called slavery.

It is human nature to feel superior to others. Slavery is simply the result of that sense of superiority and is used either for mere satisfaction or as a useful tool.

Even in his previous world, slavery did not disappear. Rather it goes into a more subtle form and becomes more concerning.

The shopkeeper led Leon to a simple wooden door.

"What you are looking for is behind this door. However, you have to know that what we can offer is really expensive and requires special requirements. Just to get that membership card really requires a lot of wealth."

Leon just nodded. He already knew this. But did Leon seem like he didn't have anything he couldn't show?

He has something so precious in this world.

There was nothing he couldn't buy if he wanted it.
