Divine Emperor of Death

"So what's this slave roulette about? The previous patron didn't seem too happy about it."

Davis casually asked as he took a look around, looking at a few people held on display shelves on this ground floor. Humans, magical beasts, feys, and spirits. They wore proper clothes, and some of them were also eating at the moment. None of them seemed to be maltreated, making him see that these Azure Radiance Slave Traders really were conducting a business rather than forcing a trade.

He could further see that there were already eight patrons roaming on the ground floor at this very moment, looked after by azure-robed attendants just like the one he had.

"Please..."

Nonetheless, he looked around as he walked further inside and followed Yufor. He also listened to Yufor go on about the types of slaves.

"The slaves here are categorized into normal slaves, battle slaves, occupational slaves, specialist slaves, and of course, pleasure slaves.

"Normal slaves are self-explainable. They're the lowest of the goods without any specialty to them, but they also make up the majority of our goods."

"Battle slaves are those who excel in cultivation, battling, or even assassinating. The higher their prowess and their cultivation or potential, the higher they cost. Specialist slaves are those who excel in professions such as alchemy, forging, inscription, and other such professions. They usually cost a lot more than battle slaves."

"As for the pleasure slaves, they're the most expensive as they're considered cauldrons. Many of our patrons do use them for the long term, and some others do use them for the short term."

Davis was intrigued the moment he heard 'assassinating', but he indifferently nodded, understanding the nuance behind long-term and short-term.

The long term obviously meant allowing the pleasure slaves to live as dual cultivation slaves, while on the other hand, the short term meant plundering the pleasure slave to death to boost one's cultivation to the extreme.

"What if the other type of slaves end up being used as pleasure slaves? Isn't your establishment making a loss?"

"Haha." Yufor couldn't help but chuckle, "Pleasure slaves are all pure and chaste, brimming with primal yang or primal yin, so that's the reason for their high cost. If they have a high battle prowess or some specialty, their price will increase accordingly."

"I see."

"Nonetheless, it's all up to the masters on how to use their slaves."

Yufor smiled as they arrived at the end of the ground floor, "Now take a look at the slave roulette. It costs a hundred immortal crystals to play."

Davis's eyes fell on a large azure roulette that seemed to spin around while being held by a rod at the center. It was displaced in a diagonal manner, meaning that it just didn't spin but also spun in different axes.

There were three hundred and sixty compartments on the roulette, and each compartment contained a number, and those numbers were summarized on a board across the roulette. The pinball was on the number sixty-three, and the prize of that number was a…

[Martial Overlord Stage Pleasure Slave ——]

"That patron has obtained a pleasure slave, but it turned out to be a human male."

"That…"

Davis's brows twitched as he saw the 'Human Male' being revealed once the man removed the paper stuck on it, "… is truly unfortunate."

The azure-robed man replaced the paper and turned to look at Davis, but Davis asked before he could open his mouth.

"What about occupational slaves?

"Occupational slaves are those who willingly become slaves in search of a master. Depending on their request, they could be any kind of slave as long as they fulfill the requirements needed to be considered that kind of slave."

"…"

Davis blinked thrice.

"Patron, is it really hard to believe that there are those who sell their loyalty to others?" Yufor smilingly asked.

"No, I just thought that loyalty was priceless, but my view has changed. To think that it could be bought..."

"Of course, loyalty can be sold but depending on how the master treats the slave; loyalty can increase to a fanatical level or drop to becoming disloyal. There is no given in the world, patron. Everything changes according to one's needs."

"Fair enough."

Davis nodded before Yufor gestured at the slave roulette.

"Would you like to have a try?"

Davis gave a good look at the board carrying the rewards.

289 - [Level Nine Immortal Normal Slave ——]

23 - [None]

69 - [Level Six Immortal Pleasure Slave ——]

56 - [None]

123 - [Low-Level Pill Immortal ——]

Like numbers twenty-three and fifty-six, Davis saw that half of the numbers were a miss.

However, the other half of the rewards ranged from slaves at the Ninth Stage to the Late Immortal Stage.

These slave traders had a Level Nine Immortal normal slave, and it seemed to be the jackpot of the roulette. Even if it was a normal slave, perhaps a human male immortal with a Cracked Immortal Vessel, it was still a Level Nine Immortal Stage Cultivator.

Even Founder Alstreim probably wouldn't be able to afford that kind of cultivator.

Davis didn't know anything about these slave traders, but his intuition said that this power definitely wasn't a local power but a power that had spread to many locations like here. Otherwise, he didn't see how they could afford to keep a Level Nine Immortal in chains, waiting for a master to take that immortal home.

He felt like he had walked into a den of snakes but still shook his head.

"No."

Davis flicked his hand and sent a few immortal crystals towards Yufor that he instantly collected within his palm.

"Show me around. I want to pick a few slaves with my own eyes."

Counting about fifty immortal crystals, the azure-robed Yufor eyes flashed, knowing that he had gotten some genuine business as he smirked before calmly gesturing Davis to follow him.

"Patron is generous."

Davis nodded and followed Yufor into the first floor. The ground floor didn't have the kind of person he was looking for, but since he was here, he felt like he should also buy an earth-attributed magical beast with dragon blood to test Fallen Heaven's influence on it.
