Chapter 2354 Battle Slaves
A crimson-robed man sat on a boulder, simply nibbling on a blade of gra.s.s. However, when Davis appeared, he looked to the side and spat on the simulated gra.s.sy field. Not only was there a spatial formation, but there was also a projection that entertained the battle slaves.
This made Davis think that these so-called battle slaves were living luxurious lives.
'Is it because they bring in the most profit...?' Davis wondered between them and pleasure slaves.
Nonetheless, he obviously saw that the Level Seven Immortal was looking down on him, perhaps hoping to disgust him away so that a mortal human doesn't own him as a slave.
"So this is the Burning Phoenix that dared to do vile things to the City Lord's daughter. He must've gotten quite close to that daughter if he was able to spike her food."
"With that handsome face, I'm sure he was able to do it," Yufor added with a hint of envy but also spoke in a way that added a hidden meaning to it, as though it was better to use him as a gigolo.
Davis gazed at the crimson-robed man. It didn't take much time for him to identify that handsome and lady-killing face was one that belonged to the Rein Family of the Burning Phoenix Ridge, the Reins that l.u.s.ted after his s.h.i.+rley and even Esvele, who had come along with him to the First Haven World.
He almost let out some killing intent if he wasn't careful.
Nonetheless, looking at the price, even though he expected it, made him wonder why he had to spend so much to bring this sc.u.mbag out.
"Couldn't this disgraceful slave go lesser than for one million and five hundred thousand immortal crystals?" Davis's voice was icy, causing Yufor to tremble lightly.
"Valuable patron, the City Lord crippled this slave's lower body and maimed its wings, disrupting its reproductive capacity and the ability to fly faster, not to mention its grace as a magical beast mount. If it weren't for these reasons, then this slave would at least sell for three million immortal crystals."
"We have already halved the price, so please have some mercy on us."
Yufor explained in the gentlest and most convincing tone possible, causing Davis to look stumped.
Recalling the Level Seven Immortal that he had seen in the second floor's entrance go for a price tag of seven million immortal crystals, he wasn't taken aback. His stumped expression was just an act, but even though it was just an act, he did feel vexed because spending one million and five hundred thousand immortal crystals for a slave he was going to present as a gift and get it killed was just too much.
He would rather steal from the Azure Radiance Slave Traders if possible.
Moreover, his current wealth didn't cross more than two and a half million immortal crystals, disallowing him to be willful when it came to these matters.
Davis had gained some immortal crystals from the immortals he killed in the Grand Beginnings Continent. Furthermore, he obtained some loot from exterminating bandits while traveling with Evelynn. Other than that, he also gained fifty-thousand immortal crystals from the Blue Luan Immortal.
Even with all the expenditure, including the significant amount of immortal crystals used by Eldia and Nadia to become immortals, he still possessed about 123,845 Immortal Crystals. He wished that he could treat Nadia to more immortal crystals, but no, her prowess was already at a high level that she required immortal crystals in the millions.
Nonetheless, the rest of his immortal wealth was in the form of resources, amounting to over two million immortal crystals by his estimation, so he could only sell them to shady organizations before making some profit.
Or else, if he offered to barter here, then not only would he get a lower quote for the items he sold, but they might also be able to tell where he got those items from.
Right now, he was playing the part of the arrogant yet hidden young master archetype, so he wanted to keep it that way for the rest of the slave shopping. Most risks that could be avoided should be avoided as much as possible, or he wouldn't know what might be the precedent or the cause for a bubble effect to occur, leading to his downfall.
Being almost caught by that Blue Luan Immortal was still fresh in his memory. He was not ready yet, so he wanted to avoid such scenarios if possible.
'Actually, I had two million two hundred thousand worth of goods, but I just gave Myria and Mival Silverwind the Quarter-Century Million Kilometer Messaging Talismans...'
Davis couldn't help but lampoon a bit over this slight loss. However, he wasn't worried. When killing people for karmic sin, he wouldn't be failing to find immortal crystals in loot.
"Tch, fine." Davis clicked his tongue, "Keep this vile slave reserved for three days with no interest added to the final cost. If you can do that, then I might consider buying this slave for one and a half million immortal crystals."
"Valuable patron, I'm glad we reached an initial agreement over this particular deal." Yufor almost practically jumped. Instead, he rubbed his hands, appearing excited, "Then shall we look ahead?"
Davis's expression wasn't good, but he still nodded his head.
The price tags here on the slaves weren't good for his heart. However, he finally found what he was looking for after browsing for a few more minutes.
Stopping by a cell, he scanned the face of a black-robed man who sat crossed-leg on a boulder. He had scars on his face, but his brows were thin. Perhaps sensing Davis's gaze, the man opened his eyes as his gray hair fluttered in the wind, and Davis couldn't help but feel a shocking amount of killing intent pouring out from his somber crimson eyes.
"Who is this slave?"
Yufor was more informative about battle slaves that he quickly opened his mouth, beginning to explain.
"This battle slave here is an a.s.sa.s.sin. He possesses an infamous local name called the Skull Breaking Poison a.s.sa.s.sin. All his victims either had their skulls broken or poisoned to death by a vicious soul-striking poison. However, after a certain apothecary family offended him, he killed its Level Four Immortal Leader by a.s.sa.s.sinating him with his fist and took care of the rest of the immortals the same way before finally killing millions of its members with poison."
"He was on the run for a long time before he was captured by a famous Level Nine Immortal Bounty Hunter who then sold him to us along with a bunch of a.s.sa.s.sins as we give more rates to bounty targets in exchange for bringing them alive. Shall we take a look at them as well?"
Yufor's expression was bright. After all, the more he sold, the more commission for him.
On the other hand, Davis didn't react as he stared at the battle slave while holding his breath.
Had killed millions of people from an apothecary family on top of killing their leaders, who would've gathered so much karmic virtue from saving people?
It was no wonder this battle slave had what he was looking for, a second-tier karmic sin that was twenty-two meters tall, not to mention a possible connection to the a.s.sa.s.sins he was looking for.
"I'm buying this intimidating slave."
"This battle slave is a Level Two Immortal, and due to his a.s.sa.s.sination skills, he is priced at a rate of ten times the normal price, which is about fifty thousand Immortal Crystals. Is that alright with pat-"
"I won't say another time. Pack him up and keep him ready."
"As you wish, valuable patron."
Davis and Yufor looked at each other with huge smiles on their faces.
They continued on their quest to buy or show more slaves, but unfortunately, Davis didn't find anyone suitable. The specialist slaves were obviously a plus, but he liked to rely on himself or his women for consuming pills. Besides, they were outright expensive, costing from ten times to thirty times.
As for pleasure slaves, there was no need to say how expensive they would cost.
Even a Level One Immortal Pleasure Slave cost as much as fifty thousand immortal crystals. In other words, that was fifty times the normal price that it would take for one to raise a Level One Immortal.
People could buy a Ninth Stage Pleasure Slave and raise them to immortality by only spending a thousand or more immortal crystals to save more funds, but these pleasure slaves were also priced according to their beauty and cultivation prowess, and cultivation potential, making it so that it was complicated.
Even at the same level, the difference in price for pleasure slaves was much wider and clearer than the difference between battle slaves. Many were sold for twenty times the price, and a few others were sold for fifty times the price, a rare few even at sixty times or more.
After checking out specialist slaves and widening his horizons, Davis challenged the fourth floor.
He went ahead and browsed all beauties who tried to appear arrogant, vulnerable, or tried to seduce him while wearing skimpy clothes, and when he came out, he held a hint of disdain in his eyes because none were able to charm him or even move his heart.
The trial that he had for himself without paying a single immortal crystal, whether he had turned into a complete womanizer, came out as false positive, causing him to rejoice. Otherwise, with their immortal charm that didn't lose out to most of his women, perhaps, even greater than some of his women, he might've at least taken a liking to one or two pleasure slaves, but he didn't tumble for a single one of them.
However, he did feel that Drake would have the time of his life here, wanting to save the slaves and, perhaps, having them if he fancied them as he did before in the Ethren Empire.
Nonetheless, Davis stopped right there and called it enough as he found no other slave with karmic sin as luminous as the one he bought.
He was taken to a specific waiting room on the ground floor, where he was about to receive the slaves he had purchased. He eagerly awaited the experiment he wanted to conduct and the karmic sin he wanted to plunder before finding out the hideout of an a.s.sa.s.sination-based power!
