The story that he heard fro, but if it was summarized briefly, it would be like this
'Dice', a noblesse-rank Devil that was the owner of the slavefor a slave contract, and to the person that brought him a slave contract, he declared that he would open up the lowest floor of the slave marketplace just once Normally, there was a rule that the lowest floor of the slave s, and was only opened to devils that were noblesse-rank or higher once a year for just a quarter of a day The lowest floor of the slave marketplace was a place where a lot of slaves were sold that were so rare to the point that even Seraphim, as a noblesse-rank Devil, wanted the Seraphi opportunity, but at the same time, had a question
”No, but… What is a slave contract for someone who is the owner of the slave reat bonus? On top of that, a noblesse-rank Devil, who is also the owner of the slave marketplace, doesn't even have one slave contract?”
At Ian's question, Seraphim smirked as he replied
”You know much less about the worth of the slave contract than I expected”
”The ability itself that the slave contract iteinally, the usefulness of the slave contract was an item that was only valuable to devils that were Common Devils or lower as they were unable to employ slaves
There was also a her, where it could reduce the price of the slave that they wanted to employ by half, but it wasn't to the point that it could be considered a was obvious
”So?”
”However, the slave contract is incredibly rare”
”Huh?”
”Because it is an item where only three of them are issued every year in all of the Devildoination”
”Hmm…?”
From time to time, there were items like that
There were ite, yet just by their rarity alone, their value went up incredibly
Despite that, as his questions were not all resolved yet, Ian's ain
”Hmm… Even if that is the case, why exactly would the owner of the slave marketplace, who is supposed to be a noblesse-rank, need the slave contract? Isn't it an itehed as he replied
”That is because he is a dullard father with a pretty daughter”
At the unexpected response, Ian wore a flustered expression
”Sorry…?”
”Dice is a noblesse, but 'Sasha', his daughter, is still a Common Devil And for her twentieth birthday present, she said that she wanted a slave”
It was then that the current situation started to settle into shape clearly in Ian's head
'So… He needed the slave contract because of his daughter's birthday present?'
Either way, in accordance with Seraphim's explanation, the 'lowest floor of the slave reatly worthy enough to the point it was fine to call it a hidden piece
'And an opportunity to go into such a place has forain
”Then, do I just need to go find Dice with this?”
As Ian spoke while shaking the slave contract, Seraphiht”
Ian, who had a lot of things he had to do including his quests, had a lot on his h everything gradually one by one'
However, despite that, he didn't even have the least bit intention to do theain
”Anyhow, Seraphione in the lowest floor of the slave ht?”
”Of course I always visit the slave marketplace every year on the one day that the lowest floor is open to the public without failure”
Ian curled up the corner of his ive me some information”
At first, Seraphim found it incredibly bothersoan to open his , when he found it bothersome, he explained the information that he knew in quite a lot of detail
”Firstly, I'll tell you the ood slave”
”Point?”
”As this is high-quality information that not everyone knows about, don't miss even one word and remember it”
The first piece of information that Seraphim told hiher the chance for there to be higher-ranking slaves
There were not a lot of people that knew about this because aside fro, but this was quite important information
”The 'lowest floor', which is where you will be going, is tied together with the name lowest floor, but is a multi-level space that is her chance that the slaves on the lowest floor of the three are higher-ranking slaves”
”I see, this is certainly useful inforh-quality of information? It is information that I think most would know if you are a devil that has used the slave marketplace before…”
”That's not true This is because there are a ton of cases where they don't kno to distinguish good slaves despite even having employed slaves before”
The inforuish the infor to what he said, there was no way of finding out the rank of the slave before purchasing it in the slave her, anybody can check the information of the slave However, almost half of the information will be hidden from you And it may be obvious, but you will not be able to check the 'rank' of the slave, which is the most important information, until you stamp the contract”
The reason for that was because there was a capped price and a bottom price set for the fixed price of the slave
This was because if the price of the slave was freely priced depending on its rank and stats, the slave marketplace would follow the principles of the market economy anddifference in the prices of high-ranking slaves and low-ranking slaves, no one would try to purchase low-ranking slaves
”So, when checking the infor that the purchaser must definitely check is the species of the slave”
”I see It seems the slaves are not devils?”
”No, there are devils ah-ranking Devils or greater However, such cases are extremely rare, so mostly other various species from another dimension come in as slaves”
”It seems like a similar concept to war slaves due to an invasive war of the Devildom”
”You could say that is the case More precisely, they could be considered war slaves of the past”
”War slaves of the past?”
”Right now, the Devildo in any invasive wars, but in the past, they invaded tons of dimensions And the species and dimensions that had completely surrendered to the Devildom at the time have become colonies of ours You could say that the ones that are coht now are species of the dio”
