It didn’t take long for them to receive word from the Town Lord’s aide for a place to stay. The aide handed over a sketch with dimensions of the area, as well as the basic layout of the estate.
There was a place they could buy which was fairly bare bones. If they had most of their slaves live together in small rooms, they would be able to fit 500 people within the estate.
Ken couldn’t feel anything special about the area, which was unfortunate, but it did mean he could afford it.
“So it’s essentially one gold per person…” Ken said, looking at the sheet. The Town Lord knew roughly how much Ken had since he had spent a fortune on Ken’s pills.
“500 gold for the entire lot, but there is also the price of renovation,” Yuri informed him.
“The renovation will be paid for with the pills we create.” Ken then recalled how many slaves they needed to make pills for. He would pick a handful of people for daily cultivation, and then the others would have other roles whilst also cultivating.
Ken looked to Emerald. “We’re going to need to work hard.”
“Of course, Disciple Ken.” Emerald smiled. Since creating pills helped Emerald with her cultivation, and she could use it as an excuse to cuddle with Ken, she was happy to work hard all day long.
Ken, on the other hand, had so many things he wanted to do.
[I guess cultivation will have to wait…]
He went with Yuri to buy the estate when it was still morning, with Chan guarding them on the way there. It was a simple enough process, one which Ken assumed the Town Lord had assisted with, and finally everyone had a place to live.
Even thought he buildings weren’t in the best shape, there were enough buildings where many of them could sleep fairly comfortably.
“Nimi, Yuri, Emerald,” Ken called. The three appeared, staring at him in anticipation. “Buy some blankets, large pots for cooking, rice, beans, and whatever else you think we’ll need.” Ken handed over ten gold coins to each of them. “If you can, buy some more clothing as well.” Clothing and feeding them would be very expensive, but he trusted Yuri’s abilities. “If you have to spend some of your own money, do so. I’ll reimburse you in case I wasn’t able to estimate the true amount.”
They bowed and left, leaving Ken with a courtyard full of slaves. Yan Leafblade was nearby as well, watching Ken to see how he would behave.
[The Martial Master will keep the peace.]
“Good morning, everyone. I hope you’re all doing well.” It was a rhetorical question, but there were a few children who replied back, though they were quickly reprimanded by their parents.
“I will allow you to finish settling in once we understand one another. You, from today on, are my slaves.” Ken’s throat turned dry as he saw all the familiar faces. It made him sick to his stomach that he had to call his family his slaves. There were many here who he had played with, and many here who fed him.
He looked towards those who were to be the combat force within his estate, the various Martial Apprentices, Martial Warriors, and Martial Experts. There were also a few with no cultivation, but they would soon be trained to become combatants as well.
“You will be trained to become powerful warriors, my swords and shields. In the future, you will work to become escorts, gaining money for me. Freedom is not something you should look forward to yet.”
They all understood that this was their life now, why else would Ken buy them? Some of them thought they could perhaps escape the life by seducing him, but they had seen Emerald, and understood it would be difficult.
"You, of the Leafblade family, will be servants. You will cook, you will clean, you will do whatever various chores which will be expected of you. I understand your plight, but you must understand that I am a practical young man. You will assist in Alchemy, growing and gathering various herbs we might require. Some of you, if your fortunes are good, may even learn some Alchemy from myself or my Master.”
The Leafblade family members perked up when they heard what he said. They could learn Alchemy? If they could, then their futures could be much better than if they were left to their own devices. They didn’t trust him yet, but the seed of hope was growing within them.
Ken then took Yan aside. "For now, you and your family need to remain as lowly beings. You will work as a porter and some of you will learn Alchemy under the guise of us creating a business. We will take responsibility for feeding and sheltering you until the time comes..."
"Until what time comes?" Yan stared at Ken, wondering if Ken meant what he thought.
Ken smiled. "Don't worry about it." He pat Yan across his arm. “Now help your people settle, I will go and speak with the other slaves.”
Yan did as Ken asked, taking his people and having them pick various buildings they could stay at.
Ken approached the warriors once again, eyeing each of them up. “I’m sure you’re disliking the fact that you’re a slave. To be picked up by me might be a small joy in your despair. I will do my best to treat you with respect, but I expect you to treat me with respect.”
“Tch!” The tiger girl rolled her eyes, but didn’t say anything beyond it.
“If you aren’t brave enough to speak your mind, you should remain silent,” Ken said.
“Brave? Oh yes, I’ll be awfully brave to you, Master Ken. Why don’t you show me how brave you are by giving me a chance to choke you out?”
Ken rubbed his forehead. “That’s not brave, that’s stupid. If you have an issue with me, speak to me. My ears might not be as furry or pointy as yours, but they still work just fine.”
The tiger girl bared her teeth, but didn’t say anything beyond it. She had already shown her disobedience, and that was enough for her.
“I will assign watches for you now. Two Martial Apprentices and four Martial Warriors will remain on watch for six hours, and they will swap with another set. During the night, the two Experts will also take shifts, one after the other.”
The slaves remained silent, and Ken continued to look over them.
[How awkward…]
“For now, those are your only orders. However, soon, you will all begin to cultivate. We will provide you with various pills to enhance your training. Each of you will be given at least one pill a week to assist in your cultivation, and you will take one of your days off to practise cultivating.”
“A pill?” The tiger girl glared at him suspiciously.
“What’s your name?” Ken asked.
“Tira.”
“Is there a problem with us assisting you in your cultivation?”
“Are you sure that’s all you’re doing? Even I have heard that you Alchemists are a bunch of perverts.”
“I’m sure I am a pervert, you can ask Chan behind me and she’ll tell you. However, I’m not the kind of man who will secretly feed you pills to control you, not unless you act up.” Ken smiled. “Even if we did want to, could you stop us?”
Tira bared her teeth again, but she couldn’t deny what he said. Ken could do whatever he wanted to them all, and they wouldn’t be able to do anything back to him.
“You should know the hierarchy within the camp. My Master and I are at the top. The other three slaves, Administrator Yuri, Expert Chan, Warrior Nimi, are in the next tier. Then it’s the Leafblade servants and yourselves. You will obey what we five will tell you, and as long as you do, you will find that your life is easy.”
Ken realised that he might have been giving them too much information. He’ll deal with the most important things first, and he’ll introduce new things to them later.
“We will assist you in your cultivation. Eventually, you will be strong enough to be given special, personalised tasks. Until then, just focus on your current jobs. From tomorrow onwards, you’ll be given a pill. If you do an especially good job, we might increase the amount of pills you gain, or we might offer a pill of your choosing.”
The slaves were surprised to hear the treatment Ken was offering, but grew suspicious. Just what did Ken want them to do for this treatment?
“You may pick your rooms and find a place to settle. You will each be given a blanket and some clothing. Meals will be served once our cooks get to work. I’ll ask the Leafblades when they will be willing to begin cooking, though we’ll have to wait for the others to return first.”
He dismissed the slaves, allowing them to pick their spots. The wolf girl picked a spot near some of the other slaves, but not with them. Tira decided to pick a spot some ways away, but it was out in the open so people could see her.
Ken approached the wolf girl. “What’s your name?”
“Okati,” she replied back, staring up at him suspiciously yet. “Are you here to ask me to serve you in bed? I bite.”
“No, no. I have another wolf girl who I prefer.” Ken glanced back towards Chan and winked at her.
Chan’s tail swished happily and she looked away to avoid his gaze. Okati growled at her, making Chan stop swishing her tail.
“Growl at Chan again and I’ll spank you in front of everyone,” Ken warned with a smile on his face. “And how I love to spank naughty little wolf girls.”
