Chapter 4: The Auction Part 2/2

A few hours have passed and the elf woman is still nowhere to be seen. Lora has calmed down and she is holding onto my arm. I have no idea why she is holding onto me, but I let her be.

The door swings open and The elf woman enters the room and shouts, "Line up and follow me.

We all stand up and Lora is still holding onto my arm. The elf woman leads us into a room and there is a demon with a black robe and a large book. "You all are the last group to come. All of the others have been sold. So, saving the best for last Miss Lirelle." 

(Lirelle is the elf woman)

Lirelle says, "Yes, that is right Mr. Gryl."

Mr. Gryl looks at all of the slaves and says, "Ok, let's get started."

He called the first person up, a woman with short black hair and dark skin. "Come here and kneel, and we will begin."

The woman hesitantly walks up to him and kneels, and he gets a needle and pricks on the slave tattoo. The woman screams as he starts chanting a spell. The black tattoo starts glowing purple and the woman falls to the ground and she is panting and breathing heavily.

He calls the next one and it is the same process, the tattoo is glowing and the person is panting.

He calls up Lora, and she looks at me, I nod at her, and she goes. The process is done and the tattoo glows purple.

Then he calls me, and I kneel. "What is this? You have been a slave before, I see."

I say, "Yes, but that was 20 years ago."

He pricks the slave tattoo, and he chants. My body felt warm, and then the pain came. The burning sensation and my body feel like it is burning. I am trying not to scream. The tattoo glows purple and goes back to black. 

Lirelle says, "Thank you for the help Mr. Gryl. Now, all of you follow me."

She took us to the auction stage, and the place was packed. The auction was about to start. Lirelle leaves and the auction begins. The slaves are being sold.

One by one, the slaves are sold, and when the 10th slave is sold, it is Lora's turn.

The auctioneer shouts, "Ok, let's start the bidding.

"Welcome everyone to the Auction of Lumina City, tonight we have the last of the slaves. These slaves are the best quality slaves you can get, they are the last of the bunch. So, let's begin, the first slave is a woman, she is a former noble and is a virgin."

"She has no fighting ability, but she can cook and clean. Let's start the bid at 10,000 gold."

I was shocked that a human could go for that much money.

A rich-looking elf man shouts, "12,000 gold"

Another elf man shouts, "15,000 gold"

The bidding went on, and the woman was sold for 25,000 gold. 

The next was a male, he was muscular and well-built. He was a knight, and he was sold for 50,000 gold. One by one the slaves were being bought. Then Lora was called onto the stage, "Next we have a young woman, she is 24, and she is a former noble. She is a virgin and she can cook, clean, and read. She can also be used as a Pleasure slave. Now, let's start the bid for this girl for 30,000."

A dwarf man shouts, "32,000 gold"

An orc woman shouts, "33,000"

"37,000 gold" shouts the dwarf.

"40,000 Gold" shouts the orc woman.

"50,000 Gold" the elf woman shouts.

The auctioneer says, "50,000 Gold going once, going twice. Sold."

"Lora sold for 100,000 gold, and she is now the slave of Ms. Yuriah. Thank you for your patronage."

She is led off the stage, and the next person is brought up. The auction continued and I was the last slave on the block.

The auctioneer says, "And finally, the last slave on the block, his name Renzor also known as the 'Human Bloodhound', he is 24 years old. He is an A-rank adventurer. He has a lot of fighting experience, and he can use any weapon. We have done some research on him, he was raised as a slave in the famous and notorious Beastkin family, called the Shadow Fenrir."

Everyone in the auction hall gasps and is shocked.

I am in shock at how they got this information.

"When capturing him, he slaughtered a dwarf military commander with ease, let's start the bidding at 100,000 Gold."

The crowd is silent, and a large burly man shouts, "200,000."

The dwarf who was bidding on Lora, shouts, "300,000"

I look and see a woman who is a succubus, and she is looking at me. Her eyes are filled with lust, and she has a big grin on her face.

"500,000" the succubus woman shouts.

The crowd is silent, and the dwarf is furious and is shouting.

"500,000 going once, going twice."

"750,000 gold" a voice shouts and echoes throughout the hall.

I look and see a tall, slender-looking Dark Elf, and he has a smile on his face. He is looking at me.

The succubus woman is angry, and the dwarf is shouting at the man.

"Sold, Renzor, sold to Viscount Jirin DarkFang."

Jirin and I stare at each other, and I can see the greed in his eyes. 

Jirin Darkfang is a Dark elf, he has one of the highest classes of nobility in the Dark Elven Kingdom, and the Darkfang clan is very powerful. They are known for their strength, and the head of the house is one of the most powerful people in the entire Kingdom.

"I have a collar for him, and I will be taking him right away. You can bring the money to my house.

After the auction has ended, Lirelle comes and leads us out, and we stand outside the building.

Lora runs up to me, and says, "Renzor, this is goodbye. I hope we can meet again, and I wish you the best."

I nod and smile, "Goodbye Lora, survive." I pat her head

"Goodbye," she whispers and kisses me on the cheek.

She runs off, and a few minutes later, Jirin comes out. He has a grin on his face, and he is smiling.

"Well, hello there, Renzor.

He stands in front of us and looks at Lirelle, "Lirelle, how is everything, have you had any other humans lately."

Lirelle shakes her head, and says, "No, not yet, but the human kingdoms will fall, and more will be taken."

Jirin nods and turns his attention to me.

He looks me up and down and asks, "How old are you, boy?"

"I am 24 sir," I tell him

"Do you have any family?"

"Yes, I have a wife and 2 kids, a boy and a girl"

Jirin raises his eyebrow and has a smile on his face.

He smiles and says, "Good, now let's leave."

Jirin waves at me, and I follow him. He leads me to a large carriage, and a driver is sitting there waiting.

The coachmen open the door, and Jirin enters the carriage, he allows only me to enter the carriage. I enter the carriage, and I sit down. Jirin closes the door, and the carriage begins moving.

"You are going to be my daughter's bodyguard." He continues, "You will be staying with her at all times. And if I order you to kill someone, you will. If I order you to protect her life with your own, you will. Do you understand, boy?" He says sternly.

"Yes, Sir," I answer him.

He smiles, and he sits back. I look down to the ground.

A few minutes pass and he asks, "What is your full name?"

"Renzor," I tell him.

"I said full name, boy" He snaps at me.

I feel extreme pain from my slave crest. "Aaaaah, It is Renzor Shadow Fenrir" I shout.

He says, "Renzor Shadow Fenrir, wait" he has a confused look on his face "Shadow Fenrir is the beastkin tribe leader's last name, why would you have their last name? The people they adopt are given Shadow as a last name only, so then why do you have their last name?"

"It is because..." I stop myself from revealing any information.

"Speak, boy" he orders.

The pain from my slave crest increases for the last time, "Aaaaaaaah" I shout.
