Manga Born to Be King

　　Peeking into the store through the door, I saw that all kinds of weapons were hung on the walls.In addition, armor and other essential equipment for adventure seem to be readily available.

　　"Where does Esther want to go?"

　　"Master goes wherever Esther goes."

　　"that's true......"

　　Shouldn't have asked Esther.Nangong Xiao and Esther just wandered aimlessly.

　　"Aren't we supposed to trigger some kind of plot at this time?"

　　Nangong Xiao complained.

　　"Do you have any troubles?"

　　"Ok?"

　　In the alley, a strange man in a top hat and a tuxedo called out to him.He's a super bloated, weird gentleman with a pair of glasses on his face, and he looks like a weirdo.Completely escaping the medieval-style worldview, giving the impression that only this guy is out of tune with the world.

　　"You're short-staffed. So now I'm going to report good news to you."

　　It's okay to look good.

　　"Are you interested?"

　　"Don't come near me."

　　"Hehehe, you have a pair of eyes that suit my taste... Well, let me introduce it to you!"

　　The strange gentleman waved his crutches in a pretentious manner and let out a sharp shout.

　　"The answer is slaves."

　　"slave?"

　　"Yes, exactly."

　　"Very well, let's lead the way."

　　The slave trader showed a wicked smile and led Nangong Xiao to his storefront.After walking some distance along the alley, the figures of the homeless and the bad guys became more and more conspicuous.Sounds like quarrels and breaking things can be heard everywhere, and it seems that this country also has a rather dark side.

　　Going along this path, which is still bright in daylight but does not receive sunlight, I finally saw a hut like a circus tent appearing in the corner of the alley.

　　"Sir, please."

　　The slave trader walked with strange steps, but his steps seemed extremely brisk.The stern gate in the circus tent opened slowly with a metallic sound.

　　The lights in the store were dim, and there was a faint smell of rancidity.The stinky smell of beasts is also very strong, and it can be seen at a glance that the environmental conditions are not very good.There are several cages in the tent, and there are only human-shaped shadows moving around.

　　"Look, this is the most recommended slave in our shop."

　　Check a little closer to the cage recommended by the slave trader.

　　"Woooooooooo... hoo!"

　　Inside the cage was a human-like creature whose skin was covered with beast fur and had sharp claws and fangs.To put it bluntly, it was a werewolf, slamming into the cage desperately with a roar.

　　"Tell me about the situation in this world."

　　"The Melomag Kingdom pursues human supremacy, so this is an unsuitable environment for demi-humans and orcs to live in. Although demi-humans and orcs can be found in urban areas, most of them are merchants or poor people. Adventurers. In other words, they are treated differently and can't do a decent job. Since the demihumans are considered to be close to the Momo, it is too difficult to make a living in this country, so they are treated as slaves. "

　　The slave trader snapped his fingers.I saw a magic circle emerge from the slave merchant's wrist, and the magic circle pattern on the chest of the werewolf who was locked in the cage also glowed.

　　"Gah ah ah! Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang!"

　　The werewolf first rubbed his hands on his chest to show a painful expression, and then he fell to the ground and rolled over in pain.The slave trader snapped his fingers again, and the magic circle glowing on the werewolf's chest instantly converged and disappeared quietly.

　　"Just a single order like this, and punishment can be given."

　　"It looks like a very convenient magic."

　　"It's just that basically a small ceremony must be held so that the magic circle pattern engraved on the slaves can remember the biological information of the guest officer."

　　"It's meant to avoid conflicting orders between slave masters, right?"

　　"It's really good that the guest officer is so skilled."

　　The corner of the slave trader's mouth rose, revealing a strange smile.

　　"I'm not interested in anything like that."

　　"I know."

　　The slave trader looked at Esther with an expression I understood.

　　"Then, this way please.".

Chapter 627

　　Nangong Xiao was taken into the hut where the cages were lined up, through the noisy area where the screams were incessant, and then replaced by the loud beeps that echoed in his ears.

　　Looking around, I found a demi-human child and an old man with a gloomy expression locked in the cage.

　　After walking a short distance, the slave trader suddenly stopped.

　　"These are slaves who meet the requirements of adults."

　　The first cage contained a scrawny, fearful-looking ten-year-old girl who was shaking and coughing, with a pair of animal ears that would be described as a dog but a little too round, and a thick tail.

　　"...Are you sure that's the case?"

　　"Uh, of course not. This is just the beginning, there are bargains ahead, please follow me."

　　The second cage is skinny, with a face full of fear, and looks like a loli.

　　"Because the raccoon species is a race that is less suitable for humans, if she is a subhuman of the fox species, even if she is defective, some people are willing to buy it at a high price."

　　"Oh……"

　　That is, a raccoon or a civet cat.If it is a girl who looks like a human, other purchasers may be overjoyed, but as a recreational use, it falls below the standard value, which is why 14 is sold so cheaply.

　　"Because her panic attacks come at night, I'm also very nervous."

　　Nangong Xiao, who suddenly met the raccoon slave's eyes, noticed an emotion gushing out from the depths of his heart.

　　"Then I'll buy that slave."

　　Nangong Xiao showed a happy smile, did it really trigger the plot?

　　"I'm really satisfied with that wicked smile of yours."

　　"......"

　　Which eye did you see?

　　The slave trader took out the cage key, took the raccoon girl out of the cage, and shackled her with a collar.

　　"babble!?"

　　The girl looked frightened.

　　Afterwards, he took the girl who was locked by the iron chain and turned back along the original road. After returning to the open space in the circus tent, the slave trader opened his mouth and called his subordinates, asking someone to bring a clay pot with ink over.

　　At this time, the businessman said, "Sir, please give me a few drops of blood. After that, I will draw a slave contract on her body, so that the slave registration procedure will be completed, and the slave will be owned by the adult in the future."

　　"I see......"

　　Suddenly thinking of something, Nangong Xiao stopped the slave trader.

　　"What's the matter? Guest officer."

　　"I will do it myself."

　　With that said, Nangong Xiao threw four hundred silver coins to the slave merchant.

　　"I've never heard of such a request... But you're a guest, so you can do whatever you want, just be careful not to get hurt by her."

　　After the slave trader reminded, he walked out of the tent and drew the curtain down.

　　The girl who was waiting obediently looked at him uneasily, as if looking for an opportunity to escape.Nangong Xiao asked, "Can you do housework?"

　　"Yes, a little bit..."

　　Mosquito-like whispers.

　　"Very well, you will be my maid from now on."

　　Nangongxiao squeezed a drop of blood from her index finger and bounced it onto her forehead.

　　"Okay, let's go."

　　"??"

　　At this moment, the girl felt that the person in front of her was really a weird person. She didn't even use slave characters. What's the use of dropping a drop of blood on her forehead?

　　The contract is completed and a special skill - Summoning is obtained.

　　Nangong Xiao smiled slightly.

　　(Sure enough.)

　　"Tell me your name."

　　"……cough……"

　　She turned her face away, refusing to answer questions.

　　"Don't tell me? Forget it... It's not a big deal."

　　So Nangong Xiao grabbed his hand and walked towards the alley.

　　"..."

　　Raphtalia looked up at Nangong Xiao who was holding her little hand with horror on her face, and walked forward...

　　At the back is Esther, who has no sense of existence. At this time, she is holding an egg of unknown creature in her hand.

　　"welcome."

　　As soon as he walked into the store, the store manager greeted the three with a full voice.A muscular boss who looked like a model of a burly man was standing behind the counter.Luckily not a bloated store manager who looks like a lump of fat.

　　"Oh, this is the first time the customer is here. The customer who knows how to come to our store has a really different vision."

　　The boss stared intently.
