The Rising Of The Mage

chapter 4's

"A colleague, do you have any ideas for this?"

Although I understand that colleagues are very important, but it is difficult to find a partner who can be trusted. So I wonder if he has some advice.

"Comean yes, we witches are weak indeed. Even in battle if we use magic wrongly, it can be troublesome for the party."

So far I'm solo, the monsters I killed back then. It was a balloon monster and several other weak creatures. If you think about just living, just kill them and I can eat.

But my goal is to fight the wave of destruction, of course I must be strong to be able to face the monsters that come out of the wave.

"I don't know if this advice from me suits you or not. But, try to come to the place I gave this X. Once you get it, come back here and let me give you something."

His hand handed him a small square folded piece of paper, I took it and opened it to know what was inside.

A floor plan from this kingdom and very good, then I found the X sign in question. His place was at the far left end of this kingdom.

"What's in there?"

"I'd better tell you now, it's a slave-selling place. Unlike the free man, slaves were bound by contracts written on their bodies."

"So you're saying I should buy slaves as partners, right?"

He nodded as I explained what I was thinking, when he heard her words just now.

"Then will the slave not rebel against me?"

"You take it easy, the slave will not kill his master because the seal embedded in his body will react. Even if he had any thoughts of rebelling against you, the seal would be activated immediately."

After hearing the explanation from him I nodded, then immediately turned around to go there and buy slaves as my comrades.

"Thank you for the advice I'll go tomorrow to look around first, if there's anything suitable I'll bring here."

"Then spend the night here, I have an unused room. You can use it for the bed, but it's a mess."

A free bed, I won't refuse that. Even if the place is dirty, I'll take care of it. Better than sleeping outside.

"I am honored! Get you there, I'll clean it up."

"All right then!"

Sophie's mother immediately led me, the house she owned was quite large. The precious objects of a Witch, are located in every corner of this place.

As he said, this place is so stuffy, so many things are scattered. The dust on the floor can be seen easily.

I don't know how long this place hasn't been cleaned, since it's free so I have to do it.

"Please use this room, sorry if it's uncomfortable. I'm so old to clean up a house this big."

"Ah you don't have to worry, I'll take care of it."

He smiled and nodded, then immediately afterwards. He passed from the room, I immediately did the cleaning. Sleeping with a lot of scum around, it will make anyone uncomfortable.

"When to work!"

Put things in place, collect scattered objects. Take out the scattered rubbish. Sweep the floor full of dust, and lastly mop the floor.

All that I did was cheerfully, a place that was originally not worth using. It now stands as a comfortable room.

"Leave the finishing touch, then this is done."

Immediately I covered the mattress with a new bed sheet and the task of cleaning the room was completed. Now that this room is ready to use, I sit down for a while to recover the energy.

As soon as my feathers stood up, I felt that I was being noticed. Soon I turned to the place I suspected, maybe there was someone watching me.

But apparently no one, maybe it was because of fatigue. Whatever it is, I'm not sleeping with mosquitoes tonight.

"Maybe just feel."

After saying that, I immediately cleaned myself up and rested. Relaxing my body and leaving the burden today, I was immersed in a dream world.

The sound of chicken crowing, made me who swim in a dream. Forced to rise to the surface of consciousness, the originally dark room.

Now filled with the morning light, my eyes blinked to get used to the incoming light. Upon awakening, I immediately got up and performed the morning ritual.

When I was done with the ritual, I looked for Sophie's mother to leave because she was going to hunt into the forest. I smell something delicious, coming from the kitchen.

"What sophie's mom cooks."

The feet involuntarily stepped towards the direction this scent was coming from, then I found another room. A table with food and side dishes is neatly available.

"Woah you're up early and you're ready! Breakfast before you go!"

I nodded and immediately headed for the seat provided, I actually wanted to leave immediately. But, seeing Sophie's mother cook and provide this dish sincerely.

'I can't bear to leave this food wasted.'

After breakfast accompanied by a light conversation, I immediately decided to look for slaves. At least, I should look for slaves that can be used as body shields.

I followed Sophie's mother's lead, and arrived at the place marked X on the map. A crossbar in front of the store entrance reads.

[Slave sales place]

A few adventurers also existed, they seemed to sort out the desired slaves. The state of the slaves was terrible, their condition was not taken care of at all.

If only I hadn't become an adventurer, maybe my fate would have been the same as theirs. Fortunately, as the incident unfolded, I immediately ran away from the scene.

"Welcome to our place, sir! Is there anything I can help you with?"

An old man with glasses on the right, wearing a black suit and a white underwear. Greet with courtesy.

I who had thought about my fate when I became a slave, immediately realized when he greeted me. Nodding small, then immediately expressing the goal.

"I want to buy slaves for the cheapest price, do you have any?"

The person rubbed his chin, his forehead slightly wrinkled. I don't know what he's going to say, to respond to the question just now.

"We have it, please follow me!"

He stepped up as he said that, of course I followed him. My eyes glanced at the sight of so many iron bars, within them were Humans, half-human beings, and also Monsters.

"You even made humans slaves?"

"Yes, it was those who had already lost their status. Basically, I'm giving them a chance to regain that status."

His tone was very polite, but I could feel that he was enjoying their suffering so much. I can't go berserk, my strength isn't enough to fight them.

'If you rebel now it's the same as looking to die.'

"And this is what you seek, sir!"

When my eyes were fixed on an iron bars, there was a large creature inside. His skin color was green, his earlobes were taper and he had large fangs on his face.
