The Dragon'S Blue Gem
(S2) Chapter 83 [Slavery Festival ]

A large city that was very crowded and colorful plastered in front of Mika's eyes. Different from the small towns they passed through, this city was extremely crowded. Many ornaments hung on the walls and gates, some quite luxurious horse carriages queued up to enter the city.

"Well!!! Is there a festival??" mika asked excitedly.

"I don't know. My previous visit was not this crowded," Aqua replied.

Aqua and Mika were waiting in line to enter Aranyu City. Different from before, this time the guard was tightened. Some companies hired many soldiers and mercenaries to stand guard.

Aqua and Mika's turn arrives. The gatekeeper asked for clarity on their identity. Aqua could easily enter thanks to her magician identification.

"Later I have to update this after meeting Master."

After they entered, the atmosphere inside was more bustling than they expected. Many people from different races gathered. Booths and shops are also growing more than ever.

Aqua bought two crepe pieces and gave one of them to Mika.

"What is actually being celebrated here?" mika asked while receiving crepe.

"Maybe this is indeed a festival," Aqua casually replied.

"No, no! It's not that simple, young man. Are you not people of the Magic Continent?!" dreadlocks crepe seller suddenly.

"Yes, sir. We just arrived at the Magic Continent yesterday afternoon," Mika replied kindly.

"Well, technically I'm not lying."

"You don't know. This week there's a big festival called the Slavery Festival."

The old man explained everything to Aqua and Mika.

"Slaver festival?"

"In this festival, you can get slaves from various Continents. Ranging from rare race slaves to those commonly encountered. You can also sell your slaves. Lookie! There's a GOR, right?! Rare and expensive slave auctions will be conducted there!" said the old man while pointing at the big GOR.

Mika's face looks like demeaning everyone involved in this slavery festival. He did not care about the fate of other races that were unrelated to him. But he still did not like slavery. Especially if the child is a child.

Aqua understands Mika's feelings, however she remains a former modern person where there is no slavery in her world.

"You just want to go?" tawang Aqua's.

"No. We've got here. Let's go after getting what we want."

"You're lucky, son! Today was the day the rare slave auction was conducted!! Even just to look at it takes an entrance fee of 5 gold coins!!! Are you interested?! If so, go later in the afternoon! 10 O'clock!!" said the old man with a big smile.

"........"

Mika's face remained calm without showing her feelings.

"What do you want to do?"

"Rare gas.I honestly want to see it. Can we take a look?"

Aqua was careful that Mika did not get angry or consider him a bastard.

"....... If you just look around..."

"Thank you."

Since it was decided, Aqua and Mika say goodbye to the crepe seller's old man. They went back to look for the items Aqua needed in order to attend the auction later.

Nothing caught the attention of both of them. Only high-level and Epic weapons did not match their current levels. Finally Aqua invites Mika down to the underground even to the tired house that Aqua previously visited. But the result remains the same. The weapons sold there were no ones whose level exceeded Epic's.

"This is why Pietro needed Raven so much" Aqua upset.

"Hahahaha. We already have the items you need besides the weapons."

"It turns out that looking for a Legend-level weapon upwards is very difficult. That Legend Master-level magic wand must be hard to obtain," Aqua lamented.

"Twin Spear Kak Vira and Vina. It's really good luck to get it."

Aqua walked out of the underground zone.

"Oh, forget it. Later I go to the dwarf village and get a new dagger."

"Dwarf Village? That remote village? How did you get in there."

Aqua glanced at Mika who was walking beside her.

"Little sword Mika. should be a Mythic-level weapon."

"Having hundreds that are so and have been around since he was born, must be delicious."

A Mythic-level weapon is a weapon that has 5 stars. 1-5 stars are very different in quality. Most beings within the boundary could only have 1-star Mythic-level items. Arc-Angel is a 5-star Mythic. It was completely different despite being both Mythic level.

"It's almost 10 o'clock, gone now?"

"okay."

The crowd of people from different regions was getting more and more crowded as they approached the GOR where slave auctions were rare. Along the way, there were only people who brought various slaves. Starting from men, women, children, parents, until the bayipun there.

Mood Mika was also getting worse at seeing it. He wanted to destroy the city and free the slaves. But he knew, slaves were not illegal in the Human and Magic Continent. There's nothing he can do. Doing so is of no benefit to yourself.

It does not feel they are in front of the GOR. The GOR is huge. Thousands of people can get in.

"If idols were in this world, they would definitely be concerts at a place like this," Aqua thought.

Care is very strict. Only people with invitations or paying in bulk are allowed to enter. Aqua and Mika did not have an invitation, so they paid 5 gold coins as the old crepe salesman said.

Everyone who goes inside is required to wear a special mask that hides their identity. It was for the sake of covering up that nobles, royal families or important people came there as well. As with any ordinary auction, in this place there were also ordinary and VIP seats.

As Mika looks uncomfortable with the crowd, the girl buys a VIP ticket for 50 gold coins. The amount alone is 10x the price of ordinary chairs. But that doesn't matter to those who are now very rich.

Mika's ring was indeed taken by Lucifer, but her bracelet item box was not. There are many precious Mica items in it. Of course money is included.

Mika followed Aqua into one of the rooms on the 2nd floor which allowed them to watch the auction more clearly. The place was very luxurious, even the hotel was still lost. Although only as large as a small hotel room, the facilities there are very advanced.

Aqua and Mika sat on the luxurious cushioned sofa of the room facing directly onto the auction stage.

"Ladies and gentleman!! Meet again with me, the MC who will accompany you at this auction!!!" the MC in the middle of the stage.

"That guy.so this time he's the MC of this auction."

Aqua had seen the MC at an underground auction with Elvira and Elvina.

"Gentlemen and ladies must be looking forward to seeing the slaves being sold today!! Prepare all your money!!! Because the auction will start now!!!!!"

"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Buyers' cheers sound like they meet the GOR. They all could not wait to buy or just see the slaves that were sold.

"Why are they so excited?" confused Mika.

"The chance of seeing such a rare race was extremely small. Even angels numbering in the thousands are very rare, let alone other rare races" Aqua explained.

"Heh... Then, can I also buy?"

"!!"

"Don't you not like slaves!?" startled Aqua.

"I don't like people who buy slaves, not slaves. Then.. I want to buy and free the children's slaves."

Mika leaned against Aqua's arm while staring at the stage with a sad face.

"I don't like their future to be lost just like that just because they were born slaves. At least. That's what I can do as a born luckier person."

Aqua silently looked at the same stage.

"A child born as a slave will always be overshadowed by it and cannot progress as easily as other children. They will have trouble doing everything other than what they are told. So even if you set them free, they will only die by the cruelty of the world."

"Do you really think I don't know that? Of course I know. Helping a half-hearted person can make their situation worse" Mika replied.

"I have my own plan. And it will also benefit me and you."

"Then do whatever you want. I'll help you if you need anything."

"Thank you."
