Thanks for the peanuts Emblyon
====================================
“Still wanna have a go?"
The golden lion man said.
These words startled the other slave beastmen.
“I have no intention of fighting in the first place, so may I speak with you?”
"Do as you please.”
"Why did you attack me so suddenly?”
"Because you were trying to assess me. So I thought of scaring you a little.”
He sensed that I was trying to appraise him...
I really want to see how amazing this guy is.
"I'm Mars Bryant. May I have your name if you don't mind?"
"I'm Barnes. I'm Barnes Leo.”
"I am sorry for trying to evaluate you earlier, Lord Barnes. May I have your permission to evaluate you now?”
"...Fine.”
I appraised Barnes.
Name: Barnes Leo
Title: Beast King
Status: Beastkin (lion), slave
Condition: Electrocution (Weak)
Age: 29
Level: 62
HP: 310/322
MP: 20/20
Strength: 145
Agility: 128
Magic: 20
Dexterity 5
Endurance: 135
Luck: 1
Special Ability: Beast King Transformation(LvMax)
Special Ability: Martial Art (Lv10/A)*1
He’s way out of the standard...
With that kind of status, he must have gone extremely easy on me…
The fact that his Martial Art skill is level 10 means that the max level of skill is higher than 10.
The title ‘Beast King’ and the special ability is ‘Beast King Transformation’... This is also a point of concern but the most important thing is the state of electrocution (weak). Since that status is there, perhaps…
"Thank you very much. And thank you again for going easy on me.”
For some reason, I was thanking him for going easy on me. Normally, I would have told him not to attack me so suddenly, but after all that happened, I was scared by the overwhelming difference in power.
"Hmmm. No problem.”
Hey. He actually affirmed my apologies.
"I also have a question for you. Who are you? What was that thing you played on my right hand just now? And what happened to my left hand? I can't feel anything right now, you know?"
I looked at Zeke, who was still frozen, not knowing where to go with this question.
Then Zeke nodded as he came back to himself. So he allowed me to talk to some extent.
"I am an E-class adventurer. It was the girl over there who did something to Lord Barnes’s right hand. I think it was me who caused Lord Barnes’s left hand situation but I don't know for sure because I was just that desperate previously.
May I take a look at your hand?"
As I said this, Barnes held out his left hand to me while looking at Clarice.
His left hand was burnt, and when I touched it, golden electricity charged inside the hand entered me.
We were both surprised.
"Are you able to feel your left hand now?"
“Yeah, but what the hell is this? I've never seen this before."
Barnes muttered to himself.
I appraised myself to confirm my prediction.
Name: Mars Bryant
Title: Thunder God / Wind King / Goblin Butcher
Identity: Second son of Viscount Bryant
Condition: Good
Age: 6 years old

HP: 43/43

Special Ability: Holy Magic(Lv4/B)
As expected! I had finally learned Lightning magic!
I was able to inflict wounds and electrocution on an opponent who was affected at all by Wind Impulse.
And the title ‘Thunder God’...despite I'm only at level 1 in Lightning magic…..
Oh right, I'm the only one in the world who can use Lightning magic so I'm the Thunder God.
When I appraised ‘Thunder God’
‘Thunder God’. This title is given to the one who stands at the top of Lightning magic in this world. The power of Lightning magic is greatly increased and the activation time is shortened.
Amazing. It's a bit geeky but Thunder God is really cool.
“Are there any more questions?"
Barnes said so.
"We're looking for slaves..."
When I got that far, Barnes said.
"I don't work for anyone weaker than I am. That's why I'm not going under the current you."
"Is…… that so……”
"But if you're good enough, maybe the rest of them wouldn’t mind working with you. In the end, it’s not like we are being too needlessly proud to serve anyone.”
Barnes then looks at the other beastmen.
The beastmen are talking among themselves with a different excitement than before.
What they are talking about is mainly that Barnes talked to a human. I don't know why they are so excited about that. Then Herik, the owner of the store, opened his mouth.
"The only person Sir Syrian has talked to from the human race since he came to this Almeria, apart from me, is Sir Mars. He only speaks with those who he had given some recognition.”
So that means I have been recognized a little.
"May I then assess you all?"
I said to the beastmen slaves, and they nodded. But then Barnes said..
"The woman at the far end is forbidden. As for the rest, ask them yourself.”
It seems that I am not allowed to appraise only the girl who was with Barnes.
I think she's more of a lion than a girl though...
"I understand. Then I will take a look at everyone except the girl in the back."
I appraised the beastmen.
Their stats were a little higher than Clarice's in strength and agility, while their magic, dexterity, and luck were at the lowest level.
When I finally broke the spell of the killing intent and told Zeke about the beastmen's stats, Zeke asked the shopkeeper.
“I'd like to hear how much these people cost. Except for Lord Barnes and the girl in the back, of course."
"The price of the beastmen here is almost the same as that of the humans. Each one costs about 10 gold coins.”
I thought it was unexpectedly cheap, but the owner continued.
"However, you will have to negotiate with each slave for his or her treatment after the purchase.”
Hmmm. So he meant that we have to give the slaves a salary, or something equivalent?
"Also, as you are probably aware, sexual intercourse with slaves is prohibited unless consensual. Few may keep their word but we will always confirm this when we buy or sell them."
Yup! This is nice!
I couldn't help but feel resistance to the word ‘slave’ because of this point.
"Father, how many do you intend to purchase?”
Ike, freed from the killing intent, also came next to Zeke asked.
"Hmmm. If ten gold coins are all that's needed…… I'm thinking about three for Mars and the others, what do you think?"
"Well, it might just be bringing back the magic stones from the Almeria labyrinth but we may encounter magic beasts on the way back. Our plan is to initially destroy some of the enemies on the first floor before diving into the second floor so three people might be better for a safer round trip.”
When Zeke said he wanted to buy three, the owner said.
“How about these three brothers? They are of wolf tribe and I would feel more relieved if they are bought by the same person…”
The three were sixteen years old. A triplet? In terms of ability, they were not that much different from the other beastmen.
And the status of the three was slightly different.

The eldest son, Guy, is more of an all-rounder, the second son, Mac, is the one in charge of brains I think? The third son, Owl, is more of a power type.*2
The owner, Herik, brought the three out of the room and had them greet us.
"Guy is the eldest son of the Black Wolf tribe. Mack, the second son. And Owl, the third son.”
Guy, the eldest, has a good beard. Mac, the second son, has a single right eye. The third son, Owl, is a giant.
And the Black Wolf Tribe? The appraisal result is that he's of Wolf Tribe. ...Well, wolves are supposed to be black, right?
Yeah! From today on they are the Black Tri-Stars*3. I'll teach them Jet Stream Attack*3.
When Zeke asked the Black Tri-Stars about the terms for their servitude…
“Give us food, clothing, and shelter. Give us a place where the three of us can live together. Also, feed us with food every you have a meal. Expensive food not necessary but meat is a must. As long as you promise this, salary is not really needed.”
Is this... perhaps quite expensive? I think the place to live is the biggest problem...
"Hmmm... I'll give you some conditions too.
I will accept all of your conditions. We will prepare a house for you and Ike’s group to live in from now onwards. However, it is I, the head of the Bryant family, who will be your master.
Therefore, you will obey my orders. Is that clear?"
I see, the beastmen recognized me but they didn't recognize Zeke.
"Fine. But you don't dive into the labyrinth anyway, do you?"
“Indeed. Even like this, I am still a nobleman in charge of Irgusia. I cannot stay here for long.”
The owner of the store, Herik, was surprised at these words.
"I was wondering a little earlier, are you Sir Zeke of the Brown Shield? Our Lady Maria's husband's..."
"What do you mean ‘our Lady Maria’...oi… Sigh…well, I am.”
"Oh, yes! Suppose the next time you come with Lady Maria, we will give you a great service! I'm sure she's still very beautiful now!”
I guess it's a good thing to be beautiful, isn't it?
But it tickles me to have my own mom complimented by her looks. It makes me happy though.
"I understand. I'll come with Maria tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Then can I buy them the day after tomorrow, alright? I'll also buy one as a servant at that time. Is that alright with you?"
Helik, the shopkeeper, rubbed his hands.
"By all means! Then I will be waiting for you two days later. I should go get my haircut now and..."
I couldn't hear the last part anymore.
In the middle of the conversation, Barnes went back to his room, and that Barnes..
“Herik! Quickly arrange to have this glass fixed!"
He was angry. I wonder who broke it in the first place...is what I will never say no matter what.
"I'll be back two days later. Please take care of the rest."
After Zeke said that to Herik, we followed him from behind.
====================================
Author’s note:
Sorry to keep you waiting?
Finally, the Lightning magic.
If you feel the series is even a bit interesting and are curious about the story’s continuation, please consider giving ★★★★★ and bookmark as it will really help with my motivation. m(__)m
TL’s note:
- Taijutsu
- Author most likely mixed up the order. Based on stats, it should be the reverse…
