Susan walked to the corner of the room to make tea for Doyle and Julian. Then Doyle began his conversation.
"Master Julian, right? Is it true that you're going to buy slave number 27?" Doyle immediately spoke to the point.
"Yes, I'm pretty sure." Julian nodded seriously.
"alright. The price of number 27 is 2 gold coins." Doyle tells slave price number 27.
"2 gold coins? Isn't that too cheap? Did something cause the price to be like that?" Julian frowned.
During the trip, Julian had already communicated with Mindy and asked her what the number 27 price was according to her calculations.
Mindy replied that the number 27 price is around 6 platinum or more because its level can still increase.
"Wait, don't they know if number 27 has a level of 7?" Julian suddenly woke up.
"Well... Number 27 was a meek man, he was not very useful in any work and it could be said that he was only useful at night." Doyle sighed
"A night? Uh..." Julian understood Doyle's words.
"So yes, but that doesn't undo my intentions. I'll keep buying number 27." Julian didn't change his decision.
"alright. Susan, please call me number 27." Doyle told Susan.
"Good." Susan nodded and then she left the room.
After a while, Susan returned along with number 27. Julian was very surprised when he saw the current number 27.
Number 27 was wearing ordinary clothes but her face was very beautiful. Her hair color is also white.
Julian did not realize that because the appearance of the number 27 was very shabby and messy like an unkempt person.
"Number 27, come here. He is your new master." Doyle told the number 27 to come closer.
"Good." Number 27 nodded and walked over.
"Mr Julian, please give me your right hand and put it on the back of your right hand number 27." Doyle.
"Yes." Yeah." Julian did as Doyle said.
Then Doyle recites a magic spell that Julian cannot understand but Mindy says it is a spell about slavery.
A white light appeared above the back of Julian's right hand and then suddenly disappeared and left a black rectangular mark.
"The sign means that you have a slave in the number of one. If two marks then your slave has two and so on. The sign can also be invisible if you want it." Doyle explained about the sign.
"Ah, so yes. Okay..." Julian understood Doyle's explanation then he tried to make the mark invisible and it worked.
Julian then signed a document that he was the new master number 27 and he paid 2 gold coins to Doyle.
"Thank you." Doyle reached out his hand.
"I am too." Julian shook hands with Doyle.
...----------------...
"Alright, first of all. Let's go to the inn." Julian walked towards the inn followed by number 27.
After arriving, Julian said that number 27 was his slave and the others did not overreact because it was common.
Julian ordered two portions of food and asked for help to take him to the room and then he walked up the stairs to his room.
"Sit down." Julian sat down on the chair and told the number 27 to sit down as well.
"Can't, a slave can't be on equal footing with his master." Number 27 shook his head.
"It's an order." Julian squinted his eyes.
"...Fine.." Number 27 sits in the seat opposite Julian.
"good. From now on, your name is Claire who has the meaning of light." Julian gave the number 27 a new name.
"!! - Thank you very much! You even gave me a name that had meaning!" Claire received the name while crying happily.
"No need to speak formally." Julian doesn't like to talk formally.
"Is it okay?" Claire looked hesitant.
"Yes." Yeah." Julian nodded to convince Claire.
Incidentally, Irmei came to bring two portions of food that had been ordered. The two of them then had lunch together.
Although at first Claire refused on the grounds that seroang slaves were not entitled to eat good food let alone eat with her master.
But Julian says it was an order and Claire finally agrees. Because if a slave violates his master's orders, his body will be electrocuted.
"Mindy, is Claire's real strength sealed? I don't feel like that's the problem." Julian's communicating with Mindy.
[No, it seems Claire did not know about it ]
"Claire, have you ever used magic?" Julian asked Claire.
"Um ever. When I was a kid, I tried to use magic but in the end it blew up my house and I was sold..." Claire's face looked pale as she said that.
"Ah, that's why Claire never used magic again huh." Now Julian understands.
"Calm down, now you're with your new master which means you're also going to open up a new chapter of life." Julian calms Claire down.
"Then Claire, learn magic with these books." Julian gives Claire the magic books given by Conall.
"Eh!? It's not worth it" Claire's speech was cut off.
"Learn, your role is as a healer for me. So now learn magic and try to find healing spells." Julian.
With the power of his dinosaurs, Julian's body would experience a drastic increase whether it was strength, endurance, even healing speed.
But that does not mean that all wounds can be healed quickly especially if Julian was hit by mental attacks or mental fatigue.
Julian therefore decided to make Claire a healer because of Clare's meek nature.
And also because Julian could sense that Claire had an affinity for the fire element as well as the dominant light element.
"!! - Good! I would be honored if it could be useful to Master!" Claire looked excited.
To the meek Claire, he did not want to be banished by her master. Then now that he was given the opportunity to train in order to be useful to his master, of course he would be excited.
"Hm, just call me master." Julian touched his chin and said.
"Hehe, I really want to be called a master by my slave. I've always been jealous of the main character who had a beautiful slave first." Inner Julian.
"Good, Master!" Claire nodded and called Julian the master.
"Good, now, do your job." Julian took out a parchment containing the information provided by Conall.
Then the room became quiet because they were both very concentrated on what they needed to do.
Julian read the available information seriously and remembered it all because the information was the most useful thing.
Then Claire also studied magic in earnest, although she failed several times but she did not give up and continued to try.
"Ah, there's a labyrinth. Characteristics of a fantasy world. Looks like I'll have to go there to test my powers." Julian touched his chin and thought.
"Then, the agenda for tomorrow is to go into the labyrinth in the North of Caver City which is the maze of caterpillars." Julian has decided.
Then Julian tells Claire that the two of them are going into the labyrinth tomorrow to fight the caterpillars.
Although a caterpillar, Julian read the information that the caterpillars have a chewy body and are difficult to penetrate with sharp objects.
And the size of the caterpillars is equivalent to that of a tiger on earth which makes it difficult to deal with just one or two people.
"Despite that, I'm sure that the power of my dinosaurs can defeat those caterpillars." Julian seemed confident in his strength.
That's because dinosaurs were very powerful creatures either in terms of strength or endurance coupled with Julian's intelligence that made him become increasingly wild ordinary.
...----------------...
At nightfall, after dinner in the room, Julian washes her body and tells Claire to wash her body as well.
Claire seemed excited because for a long time she had not washed her body even she repeatedly asked Julian if he could wash her body.
After finishing washing the body, the two of them went to sleep because tomorrow they will fight against the caterpillars in the labyrinth.
Julian takes out a thick blanket and puts her on the floor for Claire to sleep because she can't let Claire sleep on the floor.
And also that is because there is only one bed that can only accommodate one person. Despite that, Claire seemed pleased that Julian was taking such great care of her.
