\'She is just like how the novel described her to be.\' Looking at the kid who looked right back at him, Zick thought this.

Varine\'s gaze didn\'t waver like the other slaves, who didn\'t dare to make an eye contract with him.

​ Some slaves didn\'t even bothered lifting their heads up, when Zick passed by them. They were all waiting for death. Zick could see through the inner workings of the preservation magic caste upon them, so he knew that they wouldn\'t die anytime soon.

The magic in itself wasn\'t anything special, but it would be different if it was used continuously. The preservative type magic wad caste upon the slaves at set interval, so that the magic doesn\'t wear off, this would let the slaves last longer.

But this magic wasn\'t omnipotent, it just slowed down the deterioration of a body or object, not stop it. So there were still many slave who died everyday.

Both Zick and Varine had blank expressions making it hard for anyone to know what they were thinking.

CLANK!

Zick opened the iron bar door with a simple push, the servant from before didn\'t bother to lock the door in any way at all.

\'\'Come out." Zick\'s voice was emotionless as ever.

All the slave within the cage had horrified faces, they turned their head towards the direction Zick was looking at.

A frail looking girl entered their sight, it was apparent who this new customer was addressing to.

Varine\'s gaze dimmed, she had just thought of how she would end up in the hand of an customer like any other slave, but she didn\'t think it would be this fast. She had to follow the orders of a customer no matter the cost, not only her but all the slaves.

If they don\'t follow the order, the slave seal would activate and make them follow it forcefully.

Slowly getting up, Varine walked towards Zick with a downcast head. The slaves can\'t get out of the cage without the permission of a customer or a slave trader.

The black market did everything it could to make comfortable market facilities for the customers.

Varine got out of the cage and lifted her head up, staring at Zick with her Holden eyes, waiting for the next instruction. She had been trained from a long time to behave properly like a slave.

Zick turned his head towards the camp deeper into the slave market, ignoring Varine\'s gaze. A slave trader walked towards him hurriedly after sensing one of the servants being moved. He was the same slave trader  that he met when entering the slave market.

Reaching in front of Zick in no time, the slave trader started speaking in a very polite tone. \'\'Sir! You might not know but this slave is going to be turned into premium product, so buying them would cost a hefty prize. Of course, there are bett-"

"There is no need for that, just state the prize." Zick cut off the slave trader\'s words without any hesitation.

\'\'Then...." The slave trader looked at Varine from top to buttom. Rubbing his chin, he started speaking again. "I won\'t lie to you sir, it has only been around six months since we started training this slave. So I will offer this slave at only 200 platinum coins, the initial cost of a premium slave is 1000 platinum coins, without a doubt this is a beneficial trade for you." The slave trader smiled professionally though it just made him look even more uglier.

\'\'Alright and show me any two slave That won\'t die quickly.\'\' Zick accepted the slave trader\'s deal easily.

Platinum might have been a rare material on Earth, but in this world platinum was not very rare. There are many more rare and precious metals which surpassed platinum to a large degree.

\'\'Please this way, hehehe I am sure you will not be disappointed by our products." The slave trader started leading the way.

\'\'Follow me." Zick ordered Varine like it was the most natural thing.

\'\'Yes master.\'\' Varine answered back blankly. Her future was uncertain, she might become a plaything of this customer or she could also be used as an experiment subject.

Human experimentation is strictly forbidden in the first continent, but the people associated with places like black market wouldn\'t care about it in the slightest. She followed behind Zick quietly.

Zick was able to discern some of Varine\'s thoughts, after all he knew about her through the novel.

Originally, Varine was brought by a merchant who had some weird fetish which circled around girls at the same age of Varine. If she had not met the protagonist of the novel, Aeiron by chance her ending could already be expected.

It had taken a while for Zick to find Varine. He could feel almost everyone\'s presence in the black market, but he didn\'t have the ability to sense other\'s potential. He could only see it through his dragon eyes.

So Zick had to go around looking at every last slave with his own eyes. He had to go deeper into the slave market to find Varine.

\'And her talent.....\' Zick had clearly seen Varine\'s talent, unexpectedly it was more than anyone he saw until now, second to only Aeiron. There was another problem that he was facing recently.

A slave seal cannot control anyone at the level of a master. This could be solved by making Varine sign an oath.

But according to the novel, a grandmaster can easily nullify an oath.

Zick had to find a way to put a leash upon Varine in any way possible. He already had a plan on how to handle it as he knew a lot about her through the novel.

And even if his plan didn\'t work, it didn\'t matter. He could just kill Varine before she grew and all his problems would be solved.

Zick would lose a valuable asset but it was better than letting a potential threat go. His plan was very hard to achieve too.

\'I have to make her sign a contract with me.\' Sparks appeared in Zick\'s eyes.

A contract was totally different from an oath or a slave seal. The approval of both parties was needed to form a contract.

A contract can\'t be broken once made, it directly affects the soul which was impossible to nullify. It is usually hard to get a spiritualist or a mythical beast to help form a contract, but this didn\'t worry Zick.

Zick could ask the black cat in the Garcia family\'s mansion to help him in this matter, in the future.

\'Now I only need to make Varine willing to form a contract with me. I know a lot about her, but I\'m still uncertain if it is possible. If not....I can only use her till she becomes a master assassin and then discard her.\' Zick couldn\'t trust Varine without a kind of leash on her.

Now that Zick bought Varine, it changed many events which are going to occur in the future.

Zick could only be cautious and plan his future moves as much as possible now. The value of the novel would fall to a certain degree in the first continent.

Zick could only use his knowledge of the novel in the second continent, as nothing much should have changed there.

Zick couldn\'t help but feel happy about finding Varine and also worried about his future problem.

The slave trader took Zick to one of the area where it was filled with strong looking slaves. They were within the cages like every last one of the slaves.

Zick chose any two strong slaves quickly. One was a man in his thirties with messy brown hair, he was a middle rank knight and the other one was a old man in his fifties with white hair, he was also a middle rank knight. They followed his orders with emotionless expression.

\'\'This two slave quality aren\'t bad, you have a good a eyes sir. If there is nothing else that you need to buy, then we can head towards my tent. I will pass on the ownership of this three to you there.\'\'

Zick accepted this proposal immediately with a nod. There was nothing else that he needed from here right at the moment.
