“…Master…”

“very good.”

Su Ye nodded with satisfaction.

“I never thought the title would be so comforting.”

According to the appraisal results, Main does not have any contract skills.

Of all the things in my body, only my appearance is presentable.

As for his inner character, it is really terrible.

If he is not disciplined…even Su Ye will despise him.

“It seems that I need to find a professional to exchange ideas.”

Thinking of this, Su Ye glanced at Mai Yin who was looking at him with fear.

“You should know where there are slave traders in the royal city, right?”

“Take me to him.”

“Slaves” and a complete slave industry chain still exist in this world.

Because in addition to humans, there are various sub-human races and beastman races.

Even before the arrival of the “Black Tide”, countries would attack each other and start wars because of differences in race and beliefs.

After the disaster struck, villages and towns in peaceful areas were inevitably destroyed.

The displaced refugees either voluntarily or were forced to fall into the hands of slave traders and were branded with the “slave mark” that carried a cursed effect.

This curse requires slaves to not disobey their masters’ orders, otherwise they will be severely punished, even deadly!

“Are you looking for me?”

After Mai Yin took Su Ye to stroll in the alleys of the royal city for several hours.

A strange man wearing a top hat and a tuxedo suddenly appeared in front of Su Ye.

“…”

Su Ye looked at the other person’s clothes and couldn’t help but complain.

“Does this kind of clothing combination apply to all…perverted professions like yours?”

The tuxedoed stranger in front of him reminded him of a fatter version of Hiruko Kagetsuji.

“Haha, this guest is really humorous.”

The weirdo pushed his glasses up his nose, not feeling angry.

“I am a slave trader.”

“Do you need new slaves, or…”

As he said that, the weirdo turned his gaze towards Main and said something that made the latter extremely terrified.

“Would you like to sell this young girl beside you to me?”

“Oh? There is such an option.”

Su Ye touched his chin with interest.

“How much do you think she’d sell for?”

“It depends on whether she has the ability to fight.”

“From what I know, she can cast intermediate-level fire spells.”

“Well… this is a plus. If it’s a female slave, her origin and sexual experience are also very important information.”

“Her identity is not ordinary…”

Su Ye glanced at Mai Yin and found that she was frantically signaling him with pleading eyes.

It seems that she doesn’t want her identity as the first princess to be exposed at this time.

“Just think of yourself as the daughter of some noble family. As for the following question – Myne, are you a virgin?”

The first princess bit her lip and nodded her head several times in humiliation.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is a little beyond my expectations.”

Su Ye raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised.

It seems that this girl is not only a scumbag, but also a PUA master.

The slave trader nearby made some calculations and quoted a price.

“A human girl with a clean body and decent appearance, and with a noble background and the identity of an intermediate fire magician, should be able to be sold for 10 gold coins.”

“Isn’t it more than that?”

“Hehe… This is the purchase price, please understand.”

The slave trader said with a smile.

“And you don’t really want to sell it to me.”

“You’re right.”

Su Ye nodded and took out a heavy purse.

“Take me to see your goods.”

Hearing the sound of gold and silver coins colliding, the slave trader suddenly perked up and made a “please” gesture.

“plz follow me.”

Following the intricate alleys, the slave trader brought Su Ye into a circus tent.

Deep inside the tent, there is a spiral staircase leading underground.

“Please look, this is the slave most recommended by our store.”

In the underground space that looked like a prison, the slave trader proudly recommended his goods to Su Ye.

In the cage was a creature that looked like a human, but whose skin was covered with wild animal fur and had sharp teeth and claws.

“Is this… a werewolf?”

“To be precise, it’s a wolf-orc.”

The slave trader corrected.

“In the Common language, werewolf refers to wolf subhumans in most contexts.”

“Demihumans have an appearance similar to humans, but some parts of their bodies are different from humans.”

“Orcs are subhumans with a high degree of animalization. Please be careful to distinguish them.”

“I see.”

Su Ye didn’t expect that visiting a slave market could provide him with scientific knowledge.

“How much does it cost?”

“15 gold coins.”

The slave trader easily said a number that sounded very expensive.

This price can almost buy one and a half mines.

Su Ye glanced at the wolf-orc slave who was tied up with heavy chains.

[Battle Slave: Lv75, Race (Werewolf)]

A level 75 combat slave… no wonder it’s so expensive.

“He doesn’t look very healthy.”

Since he had no intention of buying it anyway, Su Ye made a casual comment.

“Yes, he was originally a slave who fought in the arena. Later, he was accidentally injured in his hands and feet, so he was sent to me.”

“Are there any other slaves?”

In response to Su Ye’s question, the slave trader rubbed his hands in embarrassment.

“You have seen my best products. What type of slave do you prefer?”

“Um……”

Su Ye thought for a moment, and suddenly pulled Mai Yin, who had been trying hard to eliminate her presence, in front of him.

“Someone like her, understand?”

A look of sudden realization appeared on the slave trader’s face.

“You mean you need a beautiful, young woman with a clean body, a certain fighting ability, and a noble family…”

“The last one can be removed.”

Su Ye waved his hand.

“I don’t mind if it’s human or subhuman.”

“You have quite a wide range of hobbies then… Let me see, I got it.”

The slave trader quickly flipped through the pages of the list in his hand and finally found the goods that met his requirements.

“Guest, you are so lucky.”

“Today, a batch of subhuman slaves were transported from the free city of Lanarita. I heard that they were captured by the slave-catching team because they lost their homes due to war and disaster.”

“…Take me to see it.”

Su Ye frowned, feeling that the place name “Free City – Lanarita” sounded familiar.

Is there such a place in the world of Shield Hero?

“Well, this way please.”

The two were taken to the deepest part of the prison and came to the cage where the “newcomers” were held.

“These two are the slaves who barely meet the requirements of the guests.”

“But in a sense… they are also defective products.”

There were two cages in front of him where he was pointing.

The first cage contained a skinny little girl with a fearful look in her eyes, shivering and coughing, with a pair of round ears and a thick tail.

“Because she’s a not very likable raccoon demihuman, you can take her away for only 30 silver coins.”

The slave trader was introducing these goods on the side.

“If it’s a fox man, there will be people willing to buy it at a high price even if it has physical defects.”

“Raccoon…that’s her.”

Although he had already recognized the other party’s identity, Su Ye was not completely sure until he heard the slave trader’s introduction.

The little demi-human girl in front of you, who is so thin that she is almost skin and bones, is the heroine of the Shield Hero, Raphtalia.

Her hometown was destroyed by the “Black Tide”, her parents died in the disaster, and the young girl fell into the hands of slave traders.

Its defining characteristic is its identity as a subhuman raccoon.

And in another cage…

“This is a relatively rare Ice Wolf subhuman. If it weren’t for its terminal illness and extremely violent personality, its price could be increased tenfold.”

The slave trader noticed that Su Ye’s expression became a little strange, and thought that he had some opinions about the goods, so he quickly added.

“Now you only need 1 gold coin to take her home. Although her life span is short, it is enough for you to enjoy her carefully…”

“I want them all.”

Su Ye didn’t wait for him to finish his words and directly threw two gold coins to him.

Then, he walked up to the Ice Wolf girl who had a fierce look on her face because of her illness.

“Say your name.”

The demihuman girl with ice-blue hair and eyebrows glared at him fiercely.
