Now that I am loaded with spells I can have for the class, it's time for getting the npc companion or more like slaves, while there is normal npc companion you can hire for the party I want complete control so buying slaves is a given.

Anyway if you are wondering about spell grinding I decided to do it while I power level with high level npc slaves which I will be buying soon, after all grinding works better with stronger foes and I am not the one for grinding skills alone like crazy, it gets unbearably boring.

But before that I have the scripture job to complete and not to mention the next trade convoy passing through here is week from today, so I guess it's a no go for at least a week.

So deciding on concentrating on scripture skill grinding, I work every day At the guard house and spend the rest of the day writing adult books, though this is not the first time adult books are written in this world it's still a popular and rare product and it also helps me grind the scripture skill level with the added benefit of earning few coins.

After a week of writing I completed 5 such books, the week long adult stuff has made me a little too horny, maybe I should buy a slave for that purpose, well not like I have any morals or such regarding that stuff but still.

The week passes and I find the convoy in town after negotiating with the convoy's merchant for allowing me the trip I sold the books for 50 gold and a free trip.

After a few more days if travel during which I was grinding other production skill of alchemy and repair after buying the needed stuff for it from the merchant, the skill levels for it are in the range of 7 to 9.

Anyway now that the city is in view, it's a magnificent sight, the city itself is huge and divided by several circles of walls, the 7 circular walls contains 7 space is in between of which four is occupied by commoners and various shops.

Of the other two, one is shopping district with high class shops and other is occupied by guilds such as mage guild, warrior guild, adventure guild, etc., etc., while the inner most part is occupied by nobles and city officials.

The entry fee for first gate is free, it increases with each gate and you need a whooping 10 gold to enter the innermost circle.

I make my way to 3rd outer circle where you can buy slaves, I for one have unequiped all the eye catching equipments, don't really want to hunted down for treasures yes.

Any way having only 1 storage ring and useless designer cloth implying I have money to spend I walk into the huge as building which is the auction house for slaves and high level items.

Oh yeah its time I should explain a few things about the kingdoms for now I guess, the one I am is called Aurora kingdom majorly influenced by Royals, nobles and church of light.

Though there is some order within the kingdom, corruption runs deep in all power houses, slavery, torture abuse are common thing here and the only reason there is no revolt is because the people of the kingdom are left alone I.e., the one to abused are those smuggled from other kingdom or those who no one to care for them.

Anyway even if there is occasional revolt here and there its easily subdued by the powerful army, so this is place were anything goes as long as you have the money for it.

Then there is sun kingdom, it's main power house is council and church of the sun god, strict rules are maintained and any illegal activity is heavily punished, it is a given slavers murderers thieves and such hunted down here, so in short it's a highly law full kingdom with little to no crime and slavery.

And the last is more of union for traders rather than a kingdom, though there isn't as much law restriction here as in sun kingdom, it is still law full, though slavery is allowed here, abusing them is punishable by law, so they are treated more like serfs instead of slaves.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

Coming back to matter at hand I approach the guards at the doorway, flipping him a gold coin, which tends to open their mouth better than other stupid stuff.

"So can you tell me if I can personally inspect and buy 'goods' here"

"Humm. ?...well that will cost you some but I am guessing that not really a problem for you, here take this card and show it to that guy over there, he should lead you to where you want" he finishes handing over a card and pointing me to guy inside the auction hall.

Following his instruction, after I showed the card I was lead to the storage room below for more discreet business stuff, there were numerous cages with beast and monsters of different size and type neatly arranged, at the end of the long hall was another man who greeted me, while the one who lead me returned upstairs.

"Dear customer, you need to pay 500 gold as deposit just so we know you actually have money, please don't take offense but the service we provide are high quality and I assure you for its satisfaction" he says with a business smile, handing over a bag of coins I wait for him to continue.

"Humm......that should do it, sorry for the trouble, so now what sort of product are you interested in buying"

"Party members, 3rd reincarnation, one tank, one crowd control healer, both female if possible"

"Ho that is indeed possible, now please follow me" he leads me to a room behind the hall, it's a well designed room with comfy furniture, after telling me to wait for a while, he disappears and comes back after a few minutes holding numerous files.

"Now customer this files contains the list the people you may be interested in, it also explains their class, strength, weakness, character and other details, please pick whomever you like" he again disappear in a puff of smoke.

The list has 200+ people, holy cow that's full of females, I wonder how many males there is then, though not rare female warriors are less than male ones, skimming through it I find very many npc I could love to have but no I don't have the money so am cruelly forced to choose between them, with my full wealth I can almost afford 3 but forcibly subduing any such desire I try to be as objective as possible.

After hours of hellish decision making I narrow it down to two at last, one is 24 year old Divine Paladin, who mainly focus on receiving damage and moderate healing and other one is jack of all trade huntress class, with excellent crowd control skills.

Paladin is brown haired creamy skinned beauty named Maria, she was prisoner turned slave, before which she was in a platoon of paladins whose mission was to raid slaver convoys, oh the bloody irony.

Huntress is black haired beauty who is heavily tanned due to high exposure to sun, anyway her class is a hidden one, her skills range from tracking, trapping, hunting and restricting movements of her foes using basic elemental magic.

The class is heavily dependent on various equipments and a few spells with near perfect crowd control abilities since she can trap them both by magical or physical means.

Anyway she is 30 some year old and had the initial goal of hunting high ranked monsters to make quick money for her brothers treatment, but due to his condition worsening she sold herself in order to get the needed cash, she refuse to reveal her name and only goes by her nickname of.....
