Chapter 494: Chapter 26: The Black Card

“Tap, tap, tap!” A series of footsteps echoed.

Several figures walked in from outside the door, led by that old man Morotes, who previously greeted guests at the door. Behind him were several servants, and in the middle was the green-haired elf girl.

Lynch, Baggen, and Kalsa quickly got up to greet them.

During an earlier chat, Baggen specifically introduced this market official’s identity to Lynch. He was a genuine late-stage Mystical Level Wizard, with all thirteen Mystical Circuits unlocked, just one step away from the Third Tier.

Even within the Clophes family, he held a certain status. It was said he was originally a key trainee of the family, but due to some mistake, he was reassigned here to manage the market.

Even so, the resources and power he controlled were incredibly formidable, no less than those of the Witch Masters stationed in a region.

Morotes chuckled, “I hope I’m not interrupting you all?”

Baggen laughed, “Sir Morotes, you’re joking. Here, you’re the host, and we are merely guests. A host never interrupts their guests.”

“Hahaha!”

Morotes laughed heartily, “Sir Red Beard, you really know how to make jokes.”

After brief pleasantries, Morotes turned his gaze to Lynch, “Sir Saphiro, you’ve indeed stole the show tonight. Such extravagant spending is indeed rare.”

Lynch shrugged and casually said, “Nothing I could do; your products are just too enticing, unstoppable.”

“The items are, of course, excellent.”

Morotes nodded, then gestured backward. Two servants brought the elf girl forward.

He continued, “Normally, transactions should be settled after the meeting, but I heard someone spent over a billion Magic Stones tonight. I took this opportunity to witness it, hoping I’m not being presumptuous.”

Lynch shook his head, “Not at all.”

“That’s good.”

Morotes then introduced the girl beside him, “This elf was caught by a Slave Capture Team. Her specific identity is inconvenient to say, but you know the Supreme Council forbids such actions. We’re just helping out.”

“This elf’s age matches her appearance, she’s 17, a new generation of elves. Her specific tribe is unknown, but we speculate she might be from the Moon Elf clan.”

Just as humans have different groups by nation and territory, elves are divided by tribes. It’s said different tribes awaken different talents.

Morotes then took out a scroll, “This is her Slave Contract Document. Look it over, and if everything’s fine, sign it and leave your Spiritual Imprint. Your spiritual power will synchronize with her Slave Collar, and she’ll belong to you.”

An alchemic magic item created by a High-level Wizard, the Slave Collar around the elf’s neck, connects to this Slave Contract Document.

It can dominate a slave spiritually. Once worn, all actions become involuntary, controlled by the Imprint inside. Whoever leaves a Spiritual Imprint gains control and dominance over the slave.

Lynch quickly scanned over it, then generously signed the Contract Document and left his Spiritual Imprint.

The instant the document was signed, the gem on the Slave Collar lit up. Lynch felt a connection formed with the elf, allowing him to control her easily, like controlling a Dead Spirit. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn NoveI[F]ire.net

“Additionally…”

Morotes handed a black card to Lynch, “This is a black card launched jointly with the Golden Carriage. From now on, this card will grant you VIP services at any Golden Carriage market and in the industries of the Clophes family.”

Lynch accepted the card, “Thank you.”

Morotes continued, “Then I won’t disturb you anymore. We’ll meet again later.”

“Goodbye.”

Morotes left with his group, leaving the elf behind.

She looked tense, her eyes filled with fear. Upon meeting Lynch’s gaze, she immediately approached him.

“Ma… Master.”

She spoke uneasily to Lynch, her ears twitching.

Lynch curiously scanned the top of the elf’s head with the Eye of Death God, and what he saw left him speechless.

’Tsk tsk, four figures…’

The number above her head was indeed four digits.

As Morotes mentioned, she was a new generation elf with her Life Force far from reaching its peak.

Even an elf just over a decade old already possessed a superior Life Force, comparable to Wizard Level beings like them, showcasing the elves’ robust vitality.

Lynch returned his gaze to the girl’s face.

There’s a reason minstrels often describe beauty with ’as beautiful as an elf’. This race is known for its beauty; there’s no ugliness among them.

The girl before him was the same, with flawless white skin and features as exquisite as a sculpture, devoid of any flaws, perfect like a piece of art.

Beautiful, vibrant with Life Force, and endowed with magic by nature…

Truly an enviable race!

Snapping his thoughts back, Lynch casually instructed the elf girl, “Find a place to rest, and after the auction’s conclusion, return with me.”

With that, he resumed his seat on the couch.

Understanding his intent, the elf girl immediately sat on his lap, pressing her soft body against him.

Confused, Lynch turned his head, “Is there nowhere else to sit here?”

The elf girl responded quickly, “The tutor… taught… us that our existence’s value is as the master’s plaything… to always be in the master’s… accessible position.”

Elves traded in the market undergo intensive training to erase their personality, becoming obedient toys.

Lynch was unaware of the methods slave traders used for training, but they seemed effective.

He pointed at the empty couch, “No need for that, you can sit there.”

The elf girl was momentarily stunned.

She appeared confused but obediently moved to the couch, like a tamed kitten.

“Yes.”

The meeting continued.

After auctioning another dozen items, the auction concluded, wrapping up transactions at the Wizard Level. Next, it was for those of the Mystical Level like them.

At this level, items didn’t need to be auctioned, as there were few buyers. As for the trade specifics…

There are specialized channels for that…
