A Wizard Apprentice squeezed over and, noticing the Wizard Seed Badge on his chest, paused briefly before asking, "Sir, what kind of slave are you looking to buy? Do you have any specific targets in mind? I can help you with recommendations. We have gathered most of the slaves from the Wizarding Continent here, so you can find whatever type you want. We even have slaves skilled in potion brewing and alchemy."
Daniel initially had no intention of engaging with him, but hearing this, he stopped in his tracks. His Wizard Tower was still operated by the academy's Wizard Apprentices, and while it was fine for now, once he left the academy, these Wizard Apprentices would also leave to return to the academy.
At that time, he would have no one capable of operating the Wizard Tower. He could certainly look for someone within the academy, but the price would be uncertain. Moreover, they were free individuals; if they were dissatisfied, they could leave at any moment, and he wouldn't have much reason to stop them.
Since there were many types of slaves available here, why not purchase a batch to keep at the Wizard Tower? As private property, slaves held a low status; he could kill them at will, even execute them without anyone caring, which would effectively protect his privacy.
"Do you have any slaves who can operate a Floating Ship? I have a Floating Ship that needs someone to pilot it."
The other party was momentarily taken aback, not expecting Daniel to say that, but still replied, "We do have such slaves, but they are quite expensive."
Daniel waved his hand generously; with over a million Magic Stones in his possession, he was at a loss for where to spend it. Even if they were high-level slaves, how much could they cost? "As long as you have them, price is not an issue."
Seeing this, the other person led Daniel away from the crowd and into a shop. After greeting the guards standing at the entrance, he brought Daniel inside.
As he explained, Daniel learned that the other person was actually an employee of this shop and had merely been soliciting business outside.
"Sir, please take a look. We have a wide variety of slaves here. Besides pilots, I think you might also need workers for tasks aboard. Look at these; don’t let their short stature fool you—they are incredibly strong and can easily handle cargo on the ship."
He pointed to a group of humanoid beings about one meter tall with green skin and bald heads who looked rather unremarkable. Following his indication, these slaves effortlessly lifted nearby boulders one by one.
Daniel was genuinely surprised by their strength; those boulders must weigh over a ton each but seemed weightless in their hands.
If placed on the Floating Ship, they would make for a group of qualified laborers.
"What’s their price like? How many years can they still be used?"
Although Daniel was intrigued, he didn't want to be taken advantage of and immediately asked the most important question: the lifespan of the slaves.
As long as they could become Wizard Apprentices, their lifespans would significantly increase—averaging around 100 years—and through various potions, they could reach up to 500 years. As for Formal Wizards, they could easily live for over a thousand years.
He didn't want to buy a group of slaves that could only be used for twenty or thirty years before needing to purchase more.
"Don't worry about that. The Cave Dwarf is a slave developed by our Wizarding Continent. They have a wide range of uses and can easily live past 100 years, reaching their peak at over 200 years. Although they look very strong, they are actually only around 30 years old, which is enough for you to use them for a long time."
With his explanation, Daniel understood that the Cave Dwarf was specifically used as laborers in the Wizarding Continent. Basically, every Wizard Tower would buy some Cave Dwarfs for use.
Since they were practical slaves, widely distributed and not very expensive, Daniel nodded and said, "I really need some. Let's first take a look at others and buy them all together at the end."
Hearing Daniel's bold words, the other party became even more enthusiastic. He hadn't expected that just a casual inquiry would attract such a wealthy customer. Seeing that Daniel was not short on money, he eagerly led him to the back of the shop.
"Please take a look at these slaves specially trained by our shop. They are knowledgeable in alchemy and can assist you in handling some materials. Rest assured, these slaves have been branded by us and are absolutely loyal and reliable; they won't betray you."
...
When Daniel left, he was already followed by a group of slaves numbering around two hundred. As for the Magic Stones in his hand, they had shrunk by over ten thousand. Daniel couldn't help but sigh; Magic Stones were indeed too easy to spend. Earning them was easy, but spending them was even easier.
Among them were also a group of Dewdrop Flower Sprites, the same ones Daniel had seen at the Auction. They were slightly inferior but still all handsome and beautiful, making excellent maids in the Wizard Tower and could also serve as warm companions.
As he paraded through the streets with them, Daniel planned to send them back to the Wizard Tower to arrange things.
On the way, a group of people blocked his path. At first, Daniel didn't pay attention and approached with a smile to negotiate for them to let him pass. Suddenly, upon seeing the six people standing at the front, cold sweat began to flow down his back.
These six were acquaintances of his; although he hadn't met four of them before, two were familiar faces—Myles and Franklin—who were the Apprentice Leaders of the Six Great Wizard Towers.
"Hello everyone, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to run into you here."
"What a coincidence indeed! I've been waiting for you for quite some time. I never thought you would choose to graduate early. Very well, I'll be waiting for you at the championship."
Daniel forced a smile while cold sweat trickled down his back; he hadn't expected that all six of them would also participate in this Talent Wizard Championship.
However, thinking about it made sense. The six Apprentice Leaders were prominent figures in the Wizard Tower with immense power. If they were ultimately defeated by him, losing face in front of everyone, how could they continue to stay in the Wizard Tower? It would be better for them to graduate quickly and leave.
Daniel was just unlucky this time. If he really encountered the opponent at the Talent Wizard Championship, it would undoubtedly be a life-and-death situation, unless he wanted to admit defeat; otherwise, it would definitely be a tough battle.
"Alright, I'll be waiting for you in the championship, ready to defeat you once again and show everyone that even a Spatial System Wizard Apprentice is nothing to be afraid of."
Not wanting to lose face, Daniel made a bold statement.
Franklin chuckled. "Good, I'll be waiting for you. There are three other Spatial Mage Apprentices participating in the Talent Wizard Championship besides me. I'll make sure to pass your words on to them."
Daniel was momentarily speechless. He never expected that this year's Talent Wizard Championship would attract four Spatial Mage Apprentices all at once.
It's important to note that Spatial Mage Apprentices are among the least numerous in the continent. Even though each spatial apprentice receives the best care from their academy, due to their innate abilities, not everyone qualifies to compete for the title of Talented Wizard.
After parting ways unhappily, Daniel returned to the Wizard Tower with his group of slaves. He called out to the Wizard Apprentices who remained at the Wizard Tower to help arrange these people before preparing to find Cleveland.
In a corner of Central Square, Daniel found Old York's inn. It was a very ordinary building, only three stories high and made entirely of wood, looking quite plain.
However, being located here indicated its uniqueness. Central Square is the most prosperous area in Aviles City; in terms of real estate value, this place is worth its weight in gold. To do business here requires more than just money, let alone running an inn.
