Chapter 98 (2/2)

Luke frowned as he found the mana flow from the box.

Clark, not knowing what Luke was thinking, asked once again,

“And your destination is?”

“Why are you so curious to know where strangers are going?”

As Luke questioned him instead of answering, Clark was flustered for a second.

“That… I am not curious, I just wanted to borrow the extraordinary power of the Lord, that is all.”

“My power?” Asked Luke.

“Yes, I heard that you are a destroyer class…”

Whether he used magic or just his sword skills, if a man could defeat 4 Gigants with just his body, he surely had some extraordinary power.

The stranger believed that such a strong person could solve their problems in an instant.

“There was a wizard aiming for us for three days now. The wizard’s skills are great. We already lost half of our merchandise, and over 20 people were killed.”

Somehow the merchants and the mercenaries weren’t saying the reason why the situation had turned out that way.

Luke looked at him and asked,

“Wouldn’t it be better to ask for the help of the patrol?”

The highways were a great help in boosting the empire’s economy.

Hence, there were a lot of patrols that wandered the place to keep businesses safe from rogues and monsters.

“This wizard can’t be defeated with the patrollers’ level, and it would require a lot of money.”

“…”

“So I took the liberty and asked for a nobleman. A noble would be given the help of the Lord.”

Perhaps the old young Lord of Rakan would have decided to jump in and help them.

Luke, however, wasn’t a Rakan, which was why he began to speculate what could possibly happen.

Clark began to sweat with nervousness.

“It isn’t much, but we can pay a little.”

“Price, what do you want to pay?”

“Well, that…”

“You don’t think you can make us accept it with a few gold coins, right?” Asked Luke.

Luke knew most of it.

Clark then offered the biggest thing he could.

“The largest I can give is 5,000 gold.”

Luke nodded with a satisfied look.

However, his thoughts were different.

‘I need to go to a place where there aren’t many people and save the slaves these men have kept.’

Luke smiled realizing that he had met a slave trader after a long time.

He was thinking about how to deal with them without leaving much evidence behind.

He had saved many slaves during his time as Saymon.

And if the slave wasn’t a human being, then Saymon was much more active in saving them.

After his resurrection, he was very glad to have come across a slave trader once again.

‘Those who buy and sell slaves don’t deserve to live.’

Those were Luke’s thoughts.

“Ahahah, Viscount. Thank you for your support.”

Thinking that Luke had decided to help them, Clark smiled and poured a glass of wine for him.
