Chapter 5 – Teaching Feeling: Human Slavery (4)
Your recommendation increases your odds of joining.
==================
Vilen swallowed dry saliva.
‘Why is the Ardena warrior commander at this timing…! No, in the first place, the Valencia Forest couldn’t afford to pay 4 billion!’
Valencia, a port city located in the eastern part of the elven country of Liberia.
She heard that she was earning a lot of money through trade with other countries. But she was nothing compared to Santander.
If Santander was one of the five richest territories in the Elf country, Valencia was only a middle class that was outside the top 30. With money, Valencia cannot beat Santander. Nonetheless, Ardena announced that it would pay 4 billion acres.
“Four billion?!”
“There’s no way there’s such a thing in the forest of Valencia…”
“Could it be that the Ardena warrior chief was bluffing at the auction house? Because you believe in something, you must have challenged the Santander Forest!”
The crowd was buzzing.
This is because an unexpected ambush shook the auction house.
“P. If you’re scared, why don’t you follow me?”
Alone, Ardena’s sister, stuck out her tongue at Leticia, the daughter of the Santander Forest.
It is an obvious provocation.
At that provocation, the red-haired elf girl gritted her teeth.
Backing down here will ruin the reputation of the golden Santander. Can’t lose to Valencia. Villen seemed to have thought the same, so he raised the number tag and asked for a higher price.
“4.1 billion ether!”
A band of blood was erected around the neck.
It was a cry of stubbornness and pride.
Opponent is 4 warrior commanders.
But this place is an auction house. Winning or losing is determined by the superiority of money.
Can never lose Even for her daughter’s future. And for the future of Santander, that human knight was a must-have card. Considering the profits he would reap by purchasing slaves, he could endure the current bleeding.
“4.5 billion.”
Ardena said.
Unlike Villen, who reacted violently by raising a vein around her neck, Ardena maintained her calm expression.
Her eyes were on Yushin.
It is a sharp and sober gaze. Receiving that gaze, Yushin shrugged her shoulders. She knew long ago that she was in the midst of a cloud of spectators, but she never expected to go to the auction herself. Yushin was also shocked by her appearance.
‘What, why are you trying to buy me? Do you want to enslave me like that? It seems that he intends to treat me as a punching bag after enslaving me for suffering the bitter taste of defeat. It’s like a narrow-minded elf. Well, it’s obvious that elves have to do it.’
Ardena was staring at Yushin to the point of being explicit.
Anything else is fine.
As if she only thought of getting Yushin into her hands.
She did not cast a single glance at Vilen, who was burning with anger, saying that she could not lose here. The elf knight with a cold impression only gave Yushin a burdensome look. Her desire to get her hands on the captives of the kingdom of Valois far surpassed that of Vilen.
‘If 4.5 billion ether is calculated at the Korean currency exchange rate, how much would it be like 45 billion won? I never thought that a large sum of 45 billion won would be attached as a ransom. Mother and father in the other world. I guess I was successful in the country of elves. Of course I’m being sold as a slave.’
What are you going to do with me
Are you really going to use me as a punching bag and beat me day and night to play?
Watching the flow of the atmosphere, Yoo-shin felt that Ardena was superior to middle-aged men.
All she did was fight her on her battlefield. She had never been hooked up to anything other than that. Ardenna knew that she had been defeated in a duel and that she was in pain that she was now trying to pamper her with her slave. She was a woman with a very serious back end.
“Five billion.”
Ardena nailed it.
She said the highest amount so that the other person could not ask for more.
Vilen Santander eventually admitted her defeat.
Because she couldn’t afford to pay 5 billion acres for one slave.
6 knights of the sword. Even a human swordsman called the Seven Swords of the Kingdom is too much money for one slave. Villen shook her head, saying she couldn’t beat someone who obsessed over her purchase with personal feelings. She said she felt sorry for her and her daughter.
“We won, sister!”
Alone, who was next to Ardena, said.
She clenched her fists and rejoiced in victory.
And she sent a provocative sneer at Leticia, who had an expression of resentment on her face.
Leticia was caught in her cheap provocation. She was provoked by her classmate, who was called the academy’s failure student, so she could have been. She shuddered to the point that tears welled up in her eyes, as if she was resentful of being humiliated in the presence of countless nobles.
“Allone, I will definitely avenge this humiliation. The academy’s failure student…!”
In the end, the owner of Yushin Gilead became Ardena Valencia.
New owner.
It is unreasonable.
Yushin could never admit the result. She felt disgusted by the inhumane act of trading slaves at the auction house and the unilateral behavior of the Elven State, which unilaterally sold captives captured on the battlefield.
“Yushin Gilead is 5 billion aether. It was set at 5 billion ether. The winner of the bid is Ardena!”
The presenter said.
She greeted Ardena and Alone sisters who came up on stage with a bright smile.
Since 5 billion aether is an enormous amount of money, it was not possible to receive it in cash right away, and it was decided to pay the price through the Yggdrasil Bank operated by the Elf Country Prosperity Office.
“I will hand over the seal of her obedience to Ardena Valencia, who won the bid.”
And since her final signing of her oath to pay her bill, Ardena has made herself master of Gilead, the Yushin that gave her the high stakes of her defeat.
I am your master
Ardena’s green eyes seemed to say so.
“Yes.”
Ardena reached out her hand.
Then, the magic spells manifested from both hands of the presenter were transferred to Ardena.
There was nothing to explain about the technique.
It must have been a choker activation spell that was filled at this auction house. The worst spell to turn your head into porridge. It was no different from the life and death rights of slaves. The auction house handed over the life and death rights of Gilead, who won the auction, to Ardena, who won the auction.
“Yusin Gilead.”
Ardena said.
She uttered the name of the slave she bought for a large sum of money.
“Why are you hitting me now? You’ll start off with an uppercut while everyone is watching.”
“…What do you mean?”
“I thought you were beating me up to avenge the humiliation. If it wasn’t for that reason, there’s no reason to buy me for such a large sum of money. Or, you couldn’t have bought it to free me from slavery.”
“Of course not.”
Fortunately, it doesn’t seem like it.
Upon her reply, Yoo-shin released the strength she was giving to her abs while exhaling the breath she had been holding back.
“Hi.”
Allone said hello.
At the greeting of the elf girl who looked like a reduced version of Ardena, Yushin’s gaze turned downward.
“Who are you?”
“Ardena Warrior Commander’s younger sister, Alone Valencia.”
“Did you have a sister? They look exactly alike.”
The deal was done.
There is no reason to be in this auction house anymore.
Thinking so, Ardena tried to return to the forest of Valencia with Yushin. In the end, Yushin, who seemed to have decided to accept the situation meekly, suddenly stopped her steps.
“For a moment. My men…”
“Your men will soon stand on the stage of the auction house. And will be sold as slaves to other elves.”
“No, I have to take my men.”
Allone said at Yushin’s words.
“I’m sorry, but my pocketbook isn’t easy enough to buy all of your men. All the 5 billion acres I used to buy you was my sister’s wedding installment savings. With this, my sister’s marriage exploded in the air.”
It’s part of the marriage savings that my sister has accumulated for 300 years since she was 20 years old.
Ardena looked disheveled at the sight of her sister speaking candidly, restraining her speech. She was so embarrassed that her pure white face turned red.
* * *
The kingdom of Valois was defeated in the war against the Elves of Liberia and suffered heavy losses.
The loss of soldiers is acceptable.
However, the disappearance of Gilead, one of the Seven Swords of the Kingdom, shocked the kingdom of Valois.
A being from another world endowed with divine authority.
Another One.
At a young age, he reached the level of the Six Swords, and the talent of the kingdom of Valois, who was expected to rise enough to rise above it, disappeared. The public was shocked as the hero who played a major role in the war against the demon king disappeared.
“It is said that Yusin Gilliott charged the elven country to help his men escape after losing the war and being fiercely pursued.”
The adjutant reported.
At the report, a middle-aged man with scars on his face frowned.
“Damn the second prince. That incompetent head is the commander and has annihilated all of his soldiers. To think he was careless against those terrifying demon-like elves. That father and that child.”
“Your Excellency the Duke…Someone might hear…”
“Huh. Then, should I at least suggest giving a medal to the second prince who threw thousands of his comrades into the swamp of death? I heard that the nobles are already proposing the award of medals without understanding the situation. Fucking bastards, since you picked the hive, the bees are sure to attack, so what’s the point of flirting?”
They attacked the territory of the elves.
It was no different than kicking a hive full of angry wasps.
The elves of the Liberia Peninsula never forget revenge. The kingdom of Valois has already experienced this many times. There was also a time when the capital city was caught in a panic due to an attack by a cavalry corps composed of skilled elves.
“Immediately send the scouting parties and figure out the whereabouts of Yushin Gilead. If he was captured by the elves, I will pay the ransom here, so ask him to hand over the recruit.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Elves do not kill prisoners.
This is because what they want is the labor force that the country needs, not a piece of meat covered in blood.
If he was captured by the elves, he would surely have become a prisoner. Duke Agincourt, who was in charge of the western front of the kingdom of Valois, said he would pay the ransom for the Restoration even at his own expense.
“Should I tell Lord Roxfield the news?”
The adjutant asked.
Allen Roxfield.
She was a female knight who was one of the Seven Swords of the Kingdom and also the fiancée of Gilead, the Yushin.
She was currently fighting the aliens on the northern front. The kingdom of Valois has many enemies. So, the Kingdom Seven Swords, an important power of the Valois kingdom, were also divided into each front.
“No, leave it alone. It won’t be long before you return from the front anyway, so you can let us know then.”
“Yes.”
I asked for a cigar.
It was one of the habits of the Duke of Agincourt whenever he was in a bad mood.
“I don’t know why the elite troops who fought against demons and demons were forced to fight elves in the first place! Is there a hole in the head? Losing all of the excellent elites who hunted even the S-Rank Great Devil in the fight against the elves!”
At Duke Agincourt’s fury, the adjutant hung his head in a cold sweat.
I could understand his feelings.
The precious forces were lost by the second prince of the royal family who was appointed commander by parachute. He couldn’t help but be more enraged because the Duke of Agincourt was the one who commanded Gilead and his subordinates before being defeated by the elves by Prince 2.
So, the adjutant did not dare to stop even the words of the Duke of Agincourt, who began to pour out his twin desires, saying, “King, you bastard who got syphilis in a brothel.”
