The World Emperor System
Buying Slaves
Inside the restaurant, a waiter walked over to Reinar and Helena as soon as the two of them were inside the restaurant. The waiter said the first and second floors were full, leaving only a few empty tables on the third floor.
The first floor can be accessed without paying. For the second floor, anyone who wanted to occupy the second floor would have to pay the price of one table for 50 gold coins. For the third floor, it was the same as for the second floor, but the customer had to pay 100 gold coins.
With such an expensive rental price, only the nobility would usually rent a table on the third floor. The dishes on each floor are also different, and of course the best food is only on the highest floor.
“Take us to the third floor.” direct word Reinar who does not want to waste a lot of time.
“Master, you have to pay 100 gold coins to enter the 3.” floor said the waiter.
“That's no problem.” with a brush no matter Reinar gives the waiter two platinum coins which is equivalent to 200 gold coins.
“Tu this master?.”
“Take the rest for you.” Reinar looked up at the stairs.
The servant who knew what Reinar meant, hurriedly drove Reinar to the third floor. “In this Empire only the Emperor family has platinum coins, but I believe this young master is not from this Empire, or maybe this young man is part of another Empire.” said the waiter in heart.
“Please sir.” the waiter lets Reinar sit in the best place on the third floor.
“Get out your best food and drink, and each remove three servings of food and drink.”
“Good, young master's order will be ready soon.”
Reinar ordered three servings, of course, one portion he would give to Zein who was in his shadow. Zein doesn't need to go out to eat, because he can absorb food from a distance.
Seeing the waiter leave, Reinar glanced at Helena. “Ten your hearing, and try to capture the information you can hear.” said Reinar, and his words also apply to Zein.
Before long the food and drink that Reinar ordered came. The waiter, who had served them from the beginning, put food and drink on the table. When the waiter finished, he hurried away.
While starting to eat, Reinar faintly heard the conversation of the people around him.
“One more week the expedition team will be dispatched to a small town in the west of this city. At least more than 2000 people who joined the expedition led directly by Duke Arlan.” said the white-robed man who sat at a table with Reinar.
Other than the white-robed man, there were two other men in that place. One man was dressed in gray, and another woman in a blue-colored robe.
“Not in the west there are only forests and some villages are not maintained. Since when there stood a city, even if only a small city?.” asked the blue-robed woman.
“A month ago an adventurer saw the city. Even though the area is only equivalent to the area of a small city, the buildings in the city are so magnificent as large city buildings. But the city looks very quiet and quiet, as if without residents.” said the man in white robes, answering the woman's question.
“Don't be an empty city, and save a lot of treasure.” the woman sounded enthusiastic about what she just heard.
“That's also what's on Duke Arlan's mind. He and his expedition members will take control of the city no matter what. Duke Arlan believes that if the city is empty, even if there are residents, it must be very few in number.” again heard a voice from the mouth of the man in white robes.
“Duke Arlan is really greedy. It was not that his actions were the same as robbing, and again the western region was not part of the Gloria Empire. Even if the territory is without a ruler, no noble Duke should rob the territory. What a shameful attitude.” the man in gray clothes felt disgusted with the Duke who led the city where he lived.
“In addition to enslaving other races, he also often performs arbitrary actions. There was really nothing to be exemplified by his attitude.” the white-robed man ended their conversation, and the three of them simultaneously left the third floor.
Before leaving, the woman had seen Reinar's face. “In him?. Is it possible that she was?.” The woman turned her face when Reinar turned her head towards her.
“Like someone just noticed in my direction.” murmured exclaimed Reinar shortly after the departure of three people who had given him so much information for free.
“System, do you know the slave selling place in this city?.”
[Slaves are sold freely in the slave market. I suggest you buy all the slaves in this city. With all the slaves that you bought, it will further increase the power of Babylon.]
“That's a great idea. I'll buy them all.” Reinar quickly finished his meal.
Helena and Zein finished their meal first. Because it was busy with the system, Reinar became slow while eating his food.
After the meal, Reinar invites Helena to leave the restaurant, and continue their journey.
Reinar looked at the servant who had served him while he was on the first floor.
“Sure I know sir. The slave market is in the north direction of this place. Master just walk straight, and master will find a slave market there.”
“Thank you.” said Reinar while giving one platinum coin to the waiter, who was immediately greeted with the servant's respectful attitude.
Once he knew the location of the slave market, Reinar immediately invited Helena to go to the market.
Arrived at a place with the name of a slave market. Reinar and Helena are greeted by a man who is a guide at the slave market. The man immediately asked Reinar for his purpose.
“I want to buy all slaves in this place.” said Reinar directly to the core of his goal to go to the slave market.
Suddenly the guide man looked at Reinar with a look of disbelief. After all the slave market had thousands of slaves and hundreds of the best slaves who, if in total, would need at least over a million gold coins to buy an entire slave in the slave market.
“Young master, do you really want to buy a whole slave in this place?.”
“Tell me how much I have to pay, eat I will pay.”
“Young master, I will calculate the cost. While I was counting, the young master could wait in this place.” the guide guy invited Reinar to wait in the waiting room.
“If I may know, who is the owner of this place?.” asked Reinar before the guide man went to sum up the entire cost of purchasing the slaves he had.
“Duke Arlan is the owner of this place. If the young master wants to meet the Duke master, the young master can make an appointment first, I will pass it to the Duke.”
“It's not necessary. I just wanted to know.”
The guide man then left Reinar and Helena. Reinar who was in staying only with Helena in such a quiet place, she felt a little awkward, what else did she feel if Zein was asleep.
Helena who occasionally saw Reinar looking at him, she only returned Reinar's treatment with a sincere smile. Let it be said to be subordinate, but he did not feel as a subordinate. Helena also felt something so familiar when she was with Reinar.
The guide came back with a paper containing the numbers that Reinar had to pay with gold coins. Total Reinar had to pay one million seven hundred thousand gold coins for five thousand ordinary slaves, and 500 best slaves.
Reinar gave the man 17 platinum bars. With sparkling eyes, the man received a gift of Reinar.
“Master, where do you want us to take the slaves you bought?.”
“Prepare the train, and the coachman. Where do we go, at least the place is not so far from this city.”
“It takes at least one daily to prepare a horse carriage to transport them all.”
“That's no problem. Tomorrow I'll go back and bring them. If there is an additional charge for the cost of the horse carriage, just say do not hesitate.”
“Good young master. Tomorrow before sunset all is ready.”
Reinar nodded and left the slave market. “The eyes were so cunning and his gaze was fixed on Helena. Looks like she knows the identity of Helena.” Reinar said inwardly.
“Master would have liked it if I got a woman from the fairy race. Tonight I will kill the foolish young master and bring his woman.” The guide's cynical smile when he sees Reinar and Helena disappear from his sight.
Secretly the man had an assassin tailing Reinar. But unbeknownst to the assassin, his whereabouts have been known to Zein. Of course Reinar and Helena also know the existence of a fly that follows them.
“You interrupted my master. Even in a dream you will not be able to.” said Helena in heart.
----------
That night Reinar and Helen did not stay at an inn. Instead, they choose to sit back in a garden chair away from the crowd.
“The perfect place to release muscles, and there will be no one else at a disadvantage.” said Reinar who was nodding Helena.
In the dark of the night, in the sky was Zein who was flying observing around. “The rats and flies have arrived. Time to give them a special surprise.”
