Chapter 368: Buying Slaves and Investigating Anomalies

Chapter 368: Buying Slaves and Investigating Anomalies

Vincent was speechless when he saw the two shadow demons locked inside the iron cage in front of him. He did not know what to say for a moment.

If it was not for the loose robe covering his face, his current expression would definitely arouse Blue’s suspicion!

Ever since he met Ebenezer, Vincent had learned that the world of the shadow demons had been destroyed, and all the members of the Shadow Demon Race had long scattered around the Black Hole world.

After seeing the two shadow demons in front of him, Vincent could imagine just how miserable the Shadow Demon Race was.

Blue walked in front of Vincent and bowed slightly. He smiled and said, “Sir, these two are the most outstanding slaves on the fourth floor! One is old and the other is young. The elder is a level 35 creature, while the youth is a level 25 creature. Their race is unique. Their hands can turn into sharp blades. Even if they are cut off, they can still slowly recover. In order to capture these two, the Dark Elves patrol team guarding outside the Black Hole have suffered casualties of more than 20 before capturing them.”

Blue continued to explain, “After locking them up as slaves, they destroyed more than a dozen of our cells. We finally had no choice but to ask the master on the eighth floor to build these meteorite metal chains to lock their arms firmly. Only then did they become obedient. If you want to buy these two slaves, I’m afraid that you’ll have to buy these meteorite metal chains as well. Otherwise, once they’re out of control, it’ll be very easy for them to devour their master. They are great for showing off since they are so powerful!”

Vincent finally came back to his senses and said in a deep voice, “Can you open the cage? I want to see these two up close!”

Blue hesitated and replied, “This… If you want to enter the cage, I can’t guarantee your safety, so you’d better take a look outside the cage!”

Vincent shook his head and said, “I don’t need you to worry about my safety. If the two of them attack me, I will protect myself. If anything happens, I will bear the consequences!”

Blue could only nod when he saw this. He took out the key and opened the door of the cell.

Vincent let go of Monica’s hand and whispered to her, “Wait for me here, don’t follow me in!”

Monica, who was under the black robe, nodded slightly and followed Vincent’s instructions accordingly.

After that, Vincent turned around and walked into the cage. He carefully observed the situation of the two shadow demons.

The shadow demons had always been shrouded in black fog since they were born. They could hide their whole bodies in shadows. No one could see their faces, so it was impossible to tell their age from their looks. However, Vincent could tell who was older and who was younger with just one glance.

The older shadow demon had a hunched back. His entire body exuded an aura that was like a rusty iron knife, filled with traces of time.

As for the younger shadow demon, he was like a brand-new sharp dagger. Even though he was locked under the heavy iron chains, his body still emitted a sharp aura, causing others to glance at him. It was hard to look straight at his shocking demeanor.

At that moment, other than the different auras on their bodies, Vincent also discovered that the two shadow demons did not struggle at all under the shackles of the chains. It was as if they were very weak.

Vincent turned his head and questioned Blue, “Why are these two so sick? They are not as strong as you said!”

Blue said nervously, “You don’t know, sir. As long as these two have the strength, they will struggle desperately, so I don’t dare to let them eat too much. At the same time, I add poison to their meals in order to seal their psionic power. Without an antidote, they will temporarily lose their cultivation! But even so, they can still accumulate their strength and occasionally create danger. You’re currently standing too close to them. This is very dangerous. Please come out!”

Vincent did not care about Blue’s persuasion at all. He turned his head and continued to look at the two shadow demons. He asked softly, “Can I know your names?”

The two shadow demons were like two dead creatures at the moment. Their bodies were covered in black fog. They did not have any expressions at all. They were quietly hanging in the iron cage. They did not respond to Vincent’s question.

When Vincent saw this, he could not help but say, “Why? Do the two of you feel so humiliated that you are not willing to say your name? Or are you ashamed of your identity and do not dare to mention your name?”

“Shut up! We shadow demons, have always done things with a clear conscience. What is there to be afraid of? My name is Daniel. If you dare to call us slaves, I will kill you the first chance I get!”

The younger shadow demon was triggered by Vincent’s sarcasm. He finally opened his mouth to scold Vincent.

Vincent was not angry at all after being scolded. Instead, he pointed at the old shadow demon and continued to ask Daniel, “Then, is this elder your father, your teacher, or a guru in your race?”

As Vincent had known Ebenezer for a long time, he had learned about the culture and history of the Shadow Demon Race.

In the Shadow Demon Race, there was a title they used that was different from the other worlds, and that was the ‘guru’!

The Shadow Demon Race usually lived in tribes near the mountains and forests. This was because they were born hunters. Hunting was their main means of living.

In a tribe, the one who was responsible for leading the migration, teaching the young how to hunt, and answering everyone’s questions could be called a guru. A guru was equivalent to the leader of a tribe.

When Blue and Monica heard Vincent’s question, they both thought that Vincent was more concerned about whether the elder was the youth’s father or teacher. The so-called ‘guru’ title was probably just how they address the elder. He must be an ordinary member of the same race.

However, to the two shadow demons, Vincent’s question was really shocking.

“You, how did you know…”

Daniel looked at Vincent blankly. He wanted to question him. How did he know the customs and appellation of the shadow demons?

However, before Daniel could ask, the old shadow demon suddenly spoke, “Daniel, we are in deep danger now. Don’t pay attention to their questions, and don’t answer them! Otherwise, you will leak the information and rules of our race! He just provoked you to get the information that he wants from you. Don’t fall for his trick!”

Daniel turned to look at the old man beside him and instantly calmed down. He replied very respectfully, “Yes, Guru Harson. I lost my composure just now!”

Vincent looked at Daniel apologizing to the old man named Harson. It looked like a loyal believer repenting to the High Priest. He was sure that this old man’s identity was not ordinary; he must have a high status in the Shadow Demon Race!

Regardless of the shadow demon’s status, Vincent had to think of a way to rescue the two of them for Ebenezer!

Vincent turned around and said to Blue who was outside the iron cage, “Chief Blue, I want these two slaves. Please give me a price!”

Blue heard him and immediately said with a face full of joy, “Since you want the both of them, I’ll give you a package deal! An elder with the strength of a level 35 creature is very rare in the slave market, so you will need to give me 200,000 crystal coins! The younger one only has the strength of a level 25 creature, so he’ll be cheaper, only 100,000 crystal coins!”

Blue continued to pile on, “In addition, the meteorite chain that locks them is made from meteorites that fell from the Black Hole world. This material is abnormally sturdy and can be repeatedly forged. It is also very strong. Even if there’s a day when you don’t need to lock the two of them anymore, you can still re-forge this chain and add some precious materials to create a brand-new divine artifact. I’ll only sell it to you for 100,000 crystal coins. Isn’t that worth it?”

Vincent looked at Blue, who was full of profiteers and smiled.

He originally did not intend to buy these meteorite chains, but when he heard about their characteristics, he immediately changed his mind. He wanted to buy the meteorite chain for Dave to create a treasured blade.

Vincent immediately said, “A total of 400,000 crystal coins. I can give it to you now!”

Blue nodded repeatedly and said with a smile, “That’s great! You will go with me to settle the bill first, then leave me an address. I will send someone to deliver these two slaves to your residence later!”

Vincent instantly hesitated after hearing that. This was because he was currently living in the City Lord’s mansion. Would he not expose his identity if he left his address behind?

However, Vincent could not bring the two shadow demons to the streets out in the open. This was because it would be even more conspicuous, and they would be exposed.

After thinking about it, Vincent did not know what to do for a moment.

At that moment, Monica, who had been standing outside the cage, suddenly opened her mouth and said, “Darling, these two slaves look very fierce. I’m afraid that it would be inconvenient to leave them at home. Why don’t we send them to our mansion outside the city? That place is spacious, and we’re not afraid of them destroying it. Moreover, our hunting party will be held in the mansion in just a few days!”

Vincent raised his head to look at Monica, who had helped him out of his predicament. He subconsciously nodded and agreed, “Oh, good! You’re still as meticulous as before. Let’s do as you say!”

Monica displayed the dignified and generous manner of a noblewoman. She raised her arm gently and said to Vincent, “Then let’s go out now. I’ll fill in the address, and you pay the bill!”

“Okay!”

Vincent nodded. Just as he was about to walk out of the cell to hold Monica’s hand, he suddenly heard the sound of chains behind him.

At the same time, Blue, who was outside the iron cage, instantly widened his eyes and hurriedly shouted, “Sir, be careful!”

At that moment, Vincent instantly felt a chill coming from behind him. He casually raised his left hand and squeezed it gently.

“Buzz!”

Along with a metallic roar, a pitch-black blade suddenly appeared in Vincent’s hand.

The blade was trembling violently. It was unknown how much strength was used to swing the blade, but it was tightly gripped by Vincent’s two fingers. It could not move at all.

Vincent turned around and looked at the young and frivolous Daniel calmly. He actually broke free from the chain and wanted to sneak attack him. He said with a slight hint of ridicule, “As an assassin, you can’t even control your emotions. This is your biggest failure! And I want to remind you if you want to attack me again in the future, please remember today’s lesson!”

After saying that, Vincent let go of the blade and twisted his fingers. His two fingers instantly overlapped and squeezed onto the blade once again.

“Crack!”

The pitch-black blade instantly shattered into pieces.

“Ah!”

Daniel looked at his broken arm and could not help but cry out in pain.

Vincent looked at Daniel, who only had one arm left, and did not say anything more. Instead, he turned to Harson and said, “There are old wounds on his arm. Even if they turn into sharp blades, there are obviously flaws. I heard that your broken arm could grow back. I believe that at that time, there won’t be any more flaws in his arm, right?”

Harson stared at Vincent quietly, as if he could not understand this strange creature in a black robe in front of him.

This person was clearly here to buy them as slaves. However, his words revealed that he knew the Shadow Demon Race very well. When dealing with Daniel’s sneak attack, his reaction was extremely decisive, and his way of dealing with it was extremely cruel!

However, Harson knew that this kind of injury was nothing to the shadow demons. Moreover, just as Vincent had said, Daniel’s arm had been injured before, and it would affect the power of the blade anyway. The only solution was to break the arm and wait for the new healthy arm to grow back.

Therefore, Vincent was a big mystery in Harson’s eyes!

After a moment of silence, Harson finally opened his mouth and said, “I won’t tell you anything about the shadow demons. Even if you kill us, you won’t get any useful information!”

Vincent snorted coldly, turned around, and said in a deep voice, “I’m not afraid about that. I can just bring you two back to my residence. Then I will slowly watch his arm grow out. If it grows out to my satisfaction, I will smash him again!”

After saying that, Vincent walked Monica out of the secret room. Blue glared at the two shadow demons, turned around, and followed Vincent out. In the blink of an eye, only Daniel and Harson were left in the secret room.

“Guru Harson, please let me die! When he brings us back, not only does he want me to be a slave, but he also wanted to repeatedly break my hand. I would rather die than suffer this insult!”

Daniel struggled in the air, pulling the chain. He spoke to Harson indignantly.

Harson replied calmly, “All the trials are tests before you become a qualified hunter. Only by enduring the harshest test can you become the strongest warrior. Don’t let the difficulties defeat you, and don’t be afraid of them! We must always have hope and survive tenaciously. This is the survival power of our Shadow Demon Race!”

Daniel sighed begrudgingly and said in a low voice, “I understand, Guru Harson. I will try my best to survive and find a chance to become stronger. Then, I will kill that guy!”

Harson, who was bound by the chain, shook his head gently. He sighed and said, “There’s no chance! Just by the fact that he grabbed your arm so easily just now, it was enough to prove that he was powerful. He had even surpassed the Shadow Demon Race’s strongest expert! Moreover, he seemed to be able to sense the Shadow Demon Race’s innate hidden talent. It seems that he not only understands our race but also has the means to restrain all the members of our race!”

After hearing what Harson had said, Daniel could not help but feel a sense of despair. If that was the case, would they not be enslaved by this person for the rest of their lives?

In the office on the fourth floor, Vincent took out 400,000 crystal coins and piled them up on a large table. This was the inheritance that he had inherited from Jacob’s storage ring. Even after buying Daniel and Harson, he still had tens of thousands of crystal coins left. It was enough for him to buy some high-grade materials.

Blue quickly counted the crystal coins. He then took out a list and handed it over to Monica. He smiled and said, “Dear madam, as long as you fill in the address of the mansion outside the city, I will send the slaves there as soon as possible. The earliest is tonight and the latest is tomorrow. Please believe in the integrity of Hell’s Rose. We will never go back on our word!”

Vincent, who was covered in a black robe, looked at Monica nervously. He did not know if Monica had just helped him out of helplessness, or if she really owned a mansion.

If it was just a temporary excuse, then the truth would still be exposed!

Monica responded softly, took the list, and wrote an address on it. She then handed it back to Blue.

Blue took the list and quickly glanced at the address on it. He smiled widely and said, “Deal! Dear Madam, it is my honor to serve you!”

Monica nodded slightly. She turned around and held Vincent’s arm. She pulled him out of the room in a very elegant manner until the two of them went up the elevator platform.

Vincent pressed the button that represented the ninth floor. The elevator platform slowly moved downwards until the surroundings became a thick layer of rock. Monica quickly pulled down the hat on her head and took a deep breath as if she was relieved of a heavy burden.

Monica turned her head and sighed, “You’re too nervous. If it wasn’t for my quick thinking just now, you would have been exposed!”

Vincent could not help but ask, “What about that mansion?”

Monica smiled slightly and said, “That’s the mansion that His Highness Dave gave to Lady Catherine in private. The others in Devil Flame City don’t know who the real owner of that mansion is. Lady Catherine also rarely goes there. She only mentioned it to me occasionally. Fortunately, I remember the address of the mansion. Otherwise, you can only let them send the slaves to the City Lord’s mansion!”

Vincent shook his head with a smile and said, “I didn’t expect you to be so smart. It seems like we will have to go back to the fifth floor later and borrow Lady Catherine’s mansion!”

Upon hearing that, Monica looked at the slowly descending platform and could not help but ask, “Why don’t we go find Lady Catherine right now? Where do you want to go?”

Vincent said in a deep voice, “The ninth floor! There’s something I want to confirm!”

Monica looked at Vincent curiously. After seeing that he was not willing to talk to her, she could only curl her lips and put on her hat again helplessly. She continued to stand beside Vincent like a noble lady.

As the platform slowly approached the corridor of the ninth floor, Vincent could not help but look down at his feet. His eyes gradually filled with shock.
