After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World - Chapter 1507

Chapter 1507: In Between Terran Villages (Part 2)

Meanwhile, life in Diana Village was going on as usual—difficult, especially for the slaves.

Diana Village was defeated very early on by a territory called Lopi Village, which was also a subsidiary of Voumi Town.

A village taken over and treated as a mining resource was just as one would expect: It was dire, sad, and pitiful.

Not that Lopi Village cared at all, of course.

That said, the Lord of Lopi Village, Lupus, was visiting to check the products. They got word from the master territory that they needed more slaves, and he was wondering how many to sell.

It was only because a village needed some life to sustain it that they hadn’t just gone out and sold everyone. It was also unwise to spread out too fast and sell everything.

While there was a risk of the price lowering due to their number, the steward believed it’d still be a better decision than to rush disposal at this point—especially when there was Voumi Town which was a sure client.

Voumi Town bought a lot of their products for cheap at the start, and did not tell them they were elementalists! At first, he thought Voumi was just lacking people or wanted people from the alien race for novelty.

Now, he knew what he had missed. It was only during the third sale that the Lord of Lopi town wondered what was with these people and decided to check the panels.

They were elementalists!!

Hence, he knew that while Voumi’s mass buying was tempting, it was still better to watch the market grow! He was hoping to get bigger clients for maximum profit.

Just how big did he lose during the first two transactions? Just the thought of it made his stomach turn acidic in regret. And he was determined to sell for a good price this time.

Lopus looked at the thousands still in the territory. Now, they had just won another war against another Terran territory and received thousands of new ones again.

This Lord was determined to make the most out of his money!

Maybe even sell to a City!

Sadly, that was something impossible for a villager. They struggled even going to a Town. Every time he went there, he’d lose a few people.

Hopefully, he’d get the ticket to join in the next auction. No villages were invited there, especially not the ‘sources’ of the products, but he believed he’d find a way!

For now, he’d have to sell a few to Voumi, and if they were satisfactory, he would open up his entry to the auction.

“Move it!” Lopus yelled, yelling at the slaves to line up faster. “How many do we have?” he asked his right-hand man, who answered quite quickly.

“2803, Milord.”

“These could be sold for at least 50 gold each in a Town! How much is that?”

“A lot, Milord.”

“It is indeed a lot!” Lopi smirked, greedily rubbing his palms together. “To think Voumi bought them for a few gold back then! Regrets!”

“Imagine if we had sold them to a City, instead.”

They’d have made 3 to 4 times more!

“Assuming we all arrived there, Milord,” his right-hand man said, as helpful as always.

“Tsk.”

Still, just thinking of how much they could sell these made him so irksome!

“We’re Voumi’s subsidiary, if we sell them there, they’d definitely still buy them for cheap and we can’t do anything about it!” Lopus gritted his teeth. “How can we find another rich territory?”

“We can buy them, then,” a sudden voice appeared behind to see a robed person.

He came out of nowhere and made no sound that it surprised everyone. “AHHH!”

“What are you—”

Many guards immediately took their weapons to block him, while others stepped back in fear.

The robed men didn’t seem intimidated, though. They just stood still in the middle of another territory.

Then he felt the leader release his aura, and their bodies felt heavy.

Such a powerful aura! What level is this?

“We were just passing by,” the robed man said. He sounded a bit friendly, but it also felt threatening at the same time. “We noticed the products you have and we’d like to buy them.”

Lopus flinched and he immediately pushed down his fear. He was seeing money all of a sudden. “A-Ah yes, they are for sale! We’re selling them for…100 gold each!”

Immediately, the aura around the buyer intensified, and Lopus and his guards kneeled down in terror, unable to speak.

“That is for healthy elementalists Levels 10-15, as bought by a Town,” the robed man said. “Are you trying to scam me?”

“NO! I’m not!”

“Then can I name my price?”

“Y-Yes…”

“I heard that you sold for a good amount since you entered this area. I’ll will give… 5 Gold per slave.”

“WHAT?! That’s too much!” Lopus yelled in his panic. It made the robed man chuckle.

“Okay I won’t be polite. 3 gold each, then.”

“THAT IS NOT WHAT I MEANT—”

“Oh? What did you mean, then?” he asked, voice lowering another timbre, making everyone shiver in fear. “I don’t have much on me but at the same time I don’t want to leave without them. What to do?”

This was a threat. A definite threat!

In the end, they managed to buy each slave for 7 gold each, pretty much draining Obi’s, Rowan’s, Silvie’s, and the soldiers’ wallets (since Otto’s had been drained back in Voumi already). It was worth it though.

“Oh…before I forget. I recommend not looking at the panel before I leave,” Otto added, making sure they didn’t get their names. “Otherwise—”

“I w-won’t, I w-wont!!” Lopus screamed, practically kowtowing for him to be forgiven.

Anyway, he could only go through the process of selling slaves with a blank mind. His hands were so frozen that he wasn’t able to click anything, even if he wanted to be sly.

He could only watch as the oaths were completed, and they watched the robed men disappear with thousands of his money-makers.

Like him, everyone else was in a dazed, still feeling blank as if they had just survived death itself.

“I wonder where they are from? Should we follow them?”

“That must be at least a level 40, right? You think you’d be able to do that without getting caught?”
