Human Deity: Rise of the Arthur

Chapter 10: Adventurer's Guild

"Freedom at last!"

As the group walked outside they saw a bustling city. Arthur was taking things one at a time because this was his first time in two weeks since he got here that he saw anything else outside the Colosseum of Guilt.

"Sir Joseph, where do we go first?"

"We shall go to the outskirts of the city." The 5 female slaves were all still very lifeless and eyes that look dead. These 5 slaves were obeying every word to the letter that Arthur spoke. No matter the order they have to do it as they were being forced to by the slave seal.

"Yes, master." Their replies were cold as they didn't have the will to live anymore. From being tortured endlessly day after day and being healed, later on, being abused in a lot of ways and being treated as objects by their previous masters. They thought that this was what would happen to them again so they just have up.

Along the way, even though their faces were still a bit dirty there were a lot of whistles coming from nearby men and even one spoke up, "Hehehe! Ladies, I am pretty sure me and my friends can satisfy you more than that kid and old man! Well, what do you say ladies?" The slaves didn't reply.

Grinding his teeth Arthur clenched his fists as he shouted, "Back off!"

The man wasn't happy with Arthur's reply and shouted back, "Brat! How dare you shout at an elder huh? Disrespectful kid! Now screw off and leave the ladies with us to have some fun."

Arthur's eyes were filled with murderous intent as he glared at the man and his friends. Joseph interrupted the argument, "You have no right to do so as this young man is the master of these 5 girls."

The man's eyes widened when he heard what the old man had said. How could a man so young be a master of all these slaves unless he was from a royal family but seeing the tattered clothes of the kid it wasn't the case. However, there were cases where royals would disguise themselves as commoners and act all innocent to play with others. Thinking up to here, the man decided not to risk it at all.

"A slave seal, huh? Fine, I'll stop bothering you, c'mon guys we're leaving!" The man took off along with his companions. Arthur was quite surprised as with their attitude he thought that the man would fight him.

Joseph explained to Arthur that people who have slaves either are from royalty or are extremely rich.

"These men just didn't want to offend someone that could afford slaves."

Arthur nodded as he understood what had happened. They then continued on to the outskirts of town. The journey on the way still had a couple of people whisper but upon seeing the slave seal on the girls they immediately ran.

"We're here... now see that building that's broken down? That's our destination, it's where my friend can help the girls have the will to live once more."

The building looked extremely generic as far as buildings go in the city. It was crumbling and full of holes looking as if it would be broken down with a single tap. Arthur and company entered the old building.

Opening the door there was a bell sound. Out of nowhere, a middle-aged man came rushing saying, "Welcome to my shop, my name is Rob and--" shock filled Rob's eyes as he fell down on the ground after seeing Joseph.

"Joseph! How... I thought they killed you when you were taken instead because of my request! SORRY! SORRY! I AM SO SORRY! PLEASE FORGIVE ME!" Tears started to flow on Rob's face as he kept on apologizing to Joseph.

Apparently, the quest to kill the bandits were Rob's quest. He was getting threatened to pay protection fees and would be killed if he didn't pay. Rob then sent out a request at the Adventurer's Guild but was ignored due to such a low amount of money. Since Rob and Joseph were close, Joseph took on the quest and slew the bandits.
