Alex and Regis are still continuing the inspection despite all the problems that just happened.

"Justin, take him."

Alex orders Justin to take his new slave to the infirmary.

"Good, Sir."

Justin is not alone. A slave who had just taken up arms and wanted to attack his master was certainly very dangerous. Alex does not want any risk to Justin so he asks Regis to lend him two knights in order to protect Justin.

Regis agreed and instead added to tie the slaves' hands together before taking them away.

Alex actually doesn't really care if the slave is evil. He was attracted to the slave for only one reason: his talent. Just like his ability that could not feel pain, there were several other skills that Alex had right now. Exactly Alex has 3 skills that are not benned, namely:

[Eyes of Esoteric], [Soul of the Almighty], and [Link of Species].

Through the [Eyes of Esoteric], Alex can see that Rain has an aura and mana is abundant in his body. Even though the slave had never practiced magic or martial arts, but the potential was indeed very large.

That was why rather than directly killing the potential slave it was much better to secure him first then interview him with some questions. As for whether the slave would stay alive or not, it depended on his own answer. At least Alex has given him a chance to make a proposition.

***

Around the mouth of the mine there are several buildings that serve as dormitories, warehouses, and offices used by the entire mining workforce.

In one of the rooms in the dormitory, Rain lay on a single bed while staring at the ceiling. After the wound was treated, he was then given a private room. Although he looks relaxed, but his hands and feet are tied.

In the mine was an alchemist who worked as a doctor. He healed the workers in the mines by making medicines. Usually the patients are the guards or employees of the mine. As for the slaves would only be treated when their illness was already very crisis.

Rain was shocked by all the services provided by these people. Previously he would only sleep jostling with other slaves inside the warehouse. Why did he get a private room now?

He doubted all the comfort he could for trying to attack Regis. That's obviously impossible.

Have I moved sir?

Rain recalled all the conversations in the mine. He remembered very well when a tall man and his master were discussing him. The man wanted to buy it. Doesn't that mean he's free from this mine now?

Rain was confused as to whether he should be grateful or worried. He was happy to be able to get away from this damn place but he was afraid of what future he would experience with this new master.

Various simulations flashed on Rain's head. He had no idea how long he had survived in this heavy life. When he was still pensive, the door suddenly opened and a man accompanied by two knights entered his room. The man had silver hair and was 3 cm taller than him. The man and the two knights were the ones who took him to the infirmary. The silver-haired man exuded an indifferent expression.

"Follow me."

Justin stared at his master's new slave with a feeling of hate and contempt. How not, he saw with his own head when this bastard pointed a sword at his master. At that time Justin was in the back row so he did not have time to block the attack. If it wasn't for Young Master Regis, then his master might be ....

Thinking about the bad event, Justin clenched his teeth. Even Justin who was very good at restraining his emotions became very angry when he saw the bastard was instead saved by his master.

He attacked you, my lord. Why do you want to save him?

Justin cursed this brash slave many times in his mind. He wanted to beat him up and skin him alive but he did not want to break his master's orders.

In order for Rain to walk, one of the knights untied his leg but the bond for his hand still remained tied.

Justin led the way followed by Rain and the two knights at the back. Justin is not afraid of being attacked. Although he did not have a role and class, but he had received martial arts training. For Fertiphile House servants are required to get basic martial art training.

Justin gets orders to take the boy to see Alex. As for his master was currently sitting lazily on the sofa that was in the room. After hearing the knock on the door, Alex allowed them to enter.

"Young Master."

Justin saluted then followed by the two knights. Then the two knights pressed on Rain's shoulder to make him kneel.

"Hm ...."

Alex just stared silently at all the flattery he received. Then he focused his vision on his new slave.

Hmm .. is very important!

The aura that had never been honed in Rain's body radiated ferociously like the waves of the sea and the flow of mana in his body was extremely dense and orderly.

Alex knows that loyalty will present itself if both parties have mutual trust, respect, and benefit. First he must know the character of this slave and what he wants.

"Say your name."

To give an honorable impression, Alex gave an indifferent tone to Rain.

The effect worked. Rain momentarily recalled the cold voice he had heard before being mined. He can't be nervous.

"N-name of Scrips' servant, my lord."

"Is that your slave's name? Do you have a real name?"

Rain still replied without knowing the direction of the conversation. But he realized this was the first time he had heard a master ask about his real name.

"The name of this lowly servant is Rain Kyle, my lord."

"Why did you attack us?"

Rain did not answer. More precisely he did not know what to answer. He attacked because he wanted to kill them. But why would he want to kill? Of course because he hated them. He hates people who coerce and enslave him to work in this damn place. But he couldn't have said all this to Alex.

"The servant was stirred with emotion, my lord. The guilty and sinful servant has attacked my lord."

Alex certainly didn't believe it. He had already got reports that this slave attacked a guard and took his sword before finally running to his place and Regis was like a madman. It is possible that this slave had a grudge against Regis.

"Did you hate your master before?"

"Sir ...."

Rain was confused as to what to answer. He could only lower his eyes down. Afraid to see people asking him questions. He was afraid that his statement would make him lose his head. It was much better to be quiet even if he knew the consequences would be severe.

Alex could feel the fear of this slave. When did the thief recognize himself as a thief? Alex felt that it was enough to give the impression of dominance. Maybe it's time to be gentle like how he comforts Merry.

"Huh .. don't be afraid. I don't know why you hate your former master. I make sure I won't be like him. But I still hope you can tell me the reason for your displeasure with her."

Rain could sense that the voice was slightly lower and exuded less of a feeling of dominance like before. Rain reflexively raised his head to look at his new master.

"God ...."

Rain swallowed his saliva. Although he felt that this master seemed to be quite stable, he was still afraid to answer honestly.

"Huh ...."

Hearing ******tired of his master, Rain felt goosebumps. He thought his master was at the limit of his patience. He immediately answered quickly.

"The servant has no food in this place, my lord. Slaves sleep less and servants work endlessly."

In one breath Rain had already given all his complaints. He felt more relieved but was still worried about the other party's response.

"Is that so? If I don't treat you like that, will you attack me later?"

"Hamba dare not, my lord."

Of course for Rain if he had the chance or his patience had run out, he might have killed his master. He didn't care, he didn't have loyalty to all these jerk masters. He just wants to be free, he doesn't want to work as a horse anymore.

Alex was of course unaware of the slave's intentions. So just nod.

"Alright, I can guarantee that I will take care of you more humanly than your previous master. But I am not the one from this place. I am currently living in your former master's house. I hope that you can keep your hatred for him and not commit any implicit acts. I'm just reminding you, I've saved you before but I can't do it a second time."

Rain heard all the words of his master. He realized it was true that if this man had not stopped all the chaos, he would have been killed with a sword stuck in his chest. The more Rain thought about it the more he felt that this person's words did make sense. He also did not want to cause any more trouble. He still values his life above the grudges he has. He could sense that the position of his former master and his new master was very far above him. It was too risky to draw a sword at them at this moment.

"Both Master. I hear and carry out all the commandments of your majesty."

"Good, now you can go" said Alex.
