"Sorry, I'm not free now."
Lu Ming became vigilant because he suspected that the man in front of him was related to the group of treasure hunters from before.
"I can wait."
The middle-aged man said earnestly.
"Hilith, bring Dale back to her room first. I'll talk to this person.”
Lu Ming ordered.
"Yes."
Hilith nodded in agreement. At the same time, she noticed Lu Ming's finger, which was sending her a secret signal.
"Be careful, there might be enemies."
Lu Ming came to the table where the middle-aged man had sat before and asked bluntly,
"If there's anything, you can say it now.”
"Alright then, I'll be blunt.”
"I saw you bring many young women here this morning. They must be your slaves, right?”
"What do you mean?"
Lu Ming asked unhappily.
"Sir, please calm down. I just want to ask, are you willing to sell a portion of them?”
"Are you a slave trader?"
"No, no, I'm just a merchant passing by here. Buying and selling slaves is just a passing thing."
The middle-aged man said with a smile.
"I'm sorry, it seems like you've found the wrong person. They're my companions, not the slaves you mentioned.”
Lu Ming said and turned to leave.
"I am willing to pay 500 gold coins for the girl who can use ice magic with her bare hands.”
The middle-aged man caught up and said.
"She…is that valuable?"
Lu Ming suddenly stopped in his tracks and pretended to be curious.
"You might not know this, but people who can use ice magic have been very rare since ancient times.”
"Moreover, the user needs to rely on a powerful magic tool to successfully cast an ice-type spell.”
" And the young lady in your hands can condense ice crystals with her bare hands without any magic tools or staffs…"
The middle-aged man kept explaining the benefits of ice magic.
" Looks like I've picked up a treasure this time.'
"Since she's as good as you say, why would I sell her?”
"Could it be that my bid is too low? I can raise the price…I can raise the price!”
"Farewell!"
Lu Ming said and walked towards the bar counter.
" The remaining ten people are basically farm girls from nearby villages. It's meaningless to keep them by my side.'
"Why don't we let them go back?"
" As for Dale, the team does need a member who can use magic.'
" Since her ice magic is so rare, let her stay.'
At the thought of this, Lu Ming had already reached the bar counter.
He ordered a large glass of fruit wine and drank it in one gulp. He finally found the feeling of being alive again.
Then, he gathered everyone and arranged a way out for them.
"Everyone can rest here for a period of time. I will pay for all the expenses.”
" After that, you can return to your homes. As for Dale…"
"I invite you to join our team. Are you willing?”
As soon as Lu Ming said that, Dale nodded without hesitation.
'Is this the power of the so-called Dark Spear? Absolute obedience? Or was it her own idea?
"Dale, are you really willing to join us?”
Lu Ming confirmed again.
"Yes, yes!"
Dale, who was still unable to speak, responded to Lu Ming's question with a firm gaze.
"Alright, from now on, you are a member of our team.”
"What is the most powerful spell you can use?”
Just as Lu Ming asked, he saw Luna beside him very cooperatively bring over a pen and paper.
Dale took the pen and paper and wrote on it with her dry little hand:
'Ice Dragon Roar…'
Lu Ming smiled when he saw it.
Unexpectedly, Dale continued to write:
'But…I'll need a large number of magic tools.'
"Uh…then are there any spells that can possess powerful destructive power without the help of magic tools?”
Lu Ming, who was a little discouraged, continued to ask.
'There's…Frost.'
"Then can you give me this spell?”
Lu Ming asked in a deep voice.
Dale nodded in agreement.
" Even if it involves his core magic, he won't reject it at all?'
"Alright, skill theft!"
Lu Ming gently placed his palm on Dale's forehead and activated Skill Steal.
'Learned Frost Lv.1'
" Consumes a certain amount of magic power to freeze the moisture on the enemy's body into frost. Limit the enemy's mobility and greatly reduce their defense. It is ineffective against Fire, Rock, and Ice enemies.'
With this magic skill, I don't have to rely on Demon Summoning every time.'
"Alright! Everyone, go back to your rooms and rest! Dale, write down all the tools and magic tools you usually need.”
"We'll buy it for you after daybreak.”
Dale nodded, touched. Then, she began to write.
The middle-aged man who wanted to buy Dale had already left the hotel.
He came to the edge of the desert and lit the torch in his hand.
Dozens of figures emerged from the bushes in the distance.
Each of them was fierce and fierce. They were hired thugs by this so-called merchant. If his business deal could not be negotiated, he would choose to rob them openly.
