chapter 84

“Hmm it seems that I can’t use the count’s soldiers for my adventure guild quests and I wasn’t able to find any potential fighters among the serfs which I interviewed, It’s really quite frustrating.”

“Right, you did say that you’re an adventurer right? Were you looking for a companion?”

“Yes, it can be a bit dangerous to go out alone, it’s best if someone is there to have your back.”

“How did you go on quests before?”

“I got a good friend which would join me, but unfortunately he is unavailable for the next little while.”

“Have you considered buying a battle slave? I heard that it is quite a popular option among adventurers.”

“Battle slaves?”

“Yes, their abilities are quite good but they’ve committed some crime so they became slaves.”

“Wouldn’t it be dangerous if I cant trust them?”

“They have no choice but to obey their master and protect his well being due to a magical slave contract forced upon them, but there are still occasionally some problems.

“Hmm… it sounds like an interesting option, maybe I’ll get myself one.”

There were far too few adventurers in Gartmar and it was difficult to form a party. Also, I didn’t want to reveal my quick growth to just any random adventurer, so perhaps the battle slave was a good idea.

“Where can I get myself one?”

“I heard that there will be an auction in Gartmar next week which will feature some battle slaves. It’s quite the hot news and even a few nobles will want to select some.”

“Are they expensive to buy?”

“Maybe, but you should have enough with the money you received from the count.”

“Nonsense, that was operational funds for the store, I cant use it for personal issues.”

“Why not, I was there when he said that if you were to run out of money you could just come ask for some more.”

“No, it isn’t something I’m willing to do.”

“Wow you’re surprisingly honest.”

“Hard-headed mostly.”

Thanks to this information I just gained form Levin, I knew I had to save up some of my own money to purchase battle slaves. For now my only option was with Material Creation.

“Create Material: Gold!”

I could get a piece of gold the size of my thumb for each spell, so it would definitely add up tp a considerable amount over time.

‘I should probably spread out my sales to not attract attention.’

Unlike most ores which had to be sold in large quantities to achieve a modest profit, gold was very valuable and there was always a market for it so I could sell it in different places. I spent the next few days grinding my Material Creation non-stop until finally the day before the auction I sold it all in different stores around town.

By the time I returned to the manor the sun was already rising. Meanwhile I was busy counting my hard earned profit.

“1 Platinum and 10 gold, about the equivalent of 20,000 Dollars on Earth. I really hope it’s enough to afford at least one slave as the next auction is in 3 months time.”

I ate my breakfast, constantly worrying if I had saved up enough.

“Johra I heard that you were going to the battle slave auction today.”
