3 Raffel

In the blue bubble that was still floating in the air, a chest appeared and it began to open. Suddenly a silver mask showed up, it was in the figure of the lower part of the human face but it seemed to have fangs that protrude from its mouth. Underneath it had the words 'Silver Half Oni Mask'

Felix had never seen a mask like it, if he wore it he was sure that people would think that he was some kind of demon.

Something else appeared and it had the shadow of man but it was fuzzy underneath it had the words 'Free Unit Unlock Ticket'.

He couldn't help but smile since he had an idea of what that meant. Then something else came up and it seemed to be a gold coin underneath it had the number 5000.

He quickly wanted to see what else would pop out but nothing else came out and he let out a depressed sigh and thought 'Well I can't be too greedy, wish it gave me some sort of weapon but with my size, I doubt that it could have been of any use since I'm back to being a kid.'

{{Would you like to proceed on unlocking a unit?}}

'Yes'

A box with a small opening on top appeared in the blue bubble and after a few seconds, a slip of paper came out from it and began unfolding. The box disappeared and the paper was zoomed in, there was a spinning figure of a man that had a spear and shield. The helmet seemed nice with the little small horn sticking out.

Underneath the moving figure, there was some writing.

----------

Name: Unsullied

Number: 100

Weapons: Spear, Short Sword, and Shield

Background: Eunuch slave soldiers that have been trained since the early age of 5. They have been taught to be extremely obedient and unafraid of death.

Felix couldn't help but smiled as he thought 'This is great with these men I can get myself out of this whole slavery problem that I'm in at the moment. Wait eunuchs like as them having their manhood taken away? I've heard about such a process of the emperor's slaves but why would anyone do that? "

{{Would you want to unlock more troops?}}

'Hmm not at the moment if we place different units at once then we will lessen their efficiency. I doubt that the slave dealer brought more than 10 men. Of course this depends on how many more carts there are which brings me to the next matter on hand.'

He turned around and looked at the slaves that were silently looking at him throughout his mental conversation with Sis.

Felix sighed and began to think 'Now how exactly do I ask these people for information?' Suddenly he touched a part of his head and felt pain 'Wait, didn't that woman said that I got my head hit? There have been some cases where a person hit their head during battle and forget everything about themselves. I can work with this so that they answer my question without being freaked out.'

He smiled and tried to stand up "Umm sorry for my earlier tone. I don't remember anything before I woke up just now, can you tell me who you are, where are we, or who I am?"

The slaves looked at him with curiosity and then the two women shook their heads. The one that hugged him earlier sighed and pointed at the floor of the carriage "We are people who were sold to the slaver after not paying taxes or committing a crime. All we know about you is that you were found in the middle of the road. You also kept calling for your father until one of the adventurers got angry and hit you. Since he hit your head that might be why you have forgotten."

Felix nodded and began thinking about how to guide the conversation "What's an adventurer?"

This time the one who answered was one of the men, "An adventure is someone who completes missions that they call quests. Sometimes they look for medical herbs, hunt monsters, and act as guards like the ones from outside. There are also some who have the power to use magic."

Felix couldn't help but shiver as he thought 'They hunt monsters, to make things worse some are also sorcerers they truly sound like a formidable foe.'

"Are there a lot of them outside?"

The slave men looked at the kid and sighed "Kid don't even think about running out, all that will get you is more punishment. There might only be 5 of them but adventures are not in any way easy to beat, they constantly face danger."

Felix nodded and began thinking of other things "Do you know where we are going?"

"Yeah, we are going to a town of the Radiant Kingdom where he will sell the ones that are left. Meanwhile, he collects people on the way just like he did with you. Since there are nobles who waste their money pretty easily the trader is able to earn a good amount of money."

"Do any of you know how close we are from the town?"

One of the slaves seemed to be in deep thought and nodded "We should be about 3 weeks away, I heard them say that we are going to arrive at a Village tomorrow. That's where he will get another batch of slaves from the prison house."

Felix gave the man a short nod and closed his eyes as he began to get things sorted out, 'So I'm in the body of a young kid who was collected out on the road and is now on his way to be sold. I at least know that I have a father somewhere but who knows where the hell he is or if he is even alive. I'm three weeks away from being sold and at the moment I'm surrounded by 5 men who are used to fighting monsters, oh and for all I know there might even be some sorcerers in the mix, that's just great. Well, I have 100 men so I can overpower them with numbers but I've never faced someone with sorcery.'

He then opened his eyes and looked at the slaves "Could you tell me what these monsters look like or how common it is for someone to encounter them?"

The men laughed and shook their heads "Well kid it's kinda hard to answer that question, you see there are many different species of beasts and it's hard to give you a good description. As for your later questions, it's actually quite common in this trip we have heard the adventurers have to face one or two attacks per day. The ones that attack most of the time are probably the chain wolves or other species that travel in packs."

A smile spread across his face as he began thinking, 'That's great then I will attack them when they are busy defending against an attack. Since we are not that far from a village then I better take the first chance that I get to get out of here and find a place to stay. I'm not stupid enough to sleep in the woods if it's infested with monsters.'

'Hey Sis how long does it take to bring the men to my location?'

{{They will appear the second that you let me know.}}

'Do you think that you could put them outside of the carriage and around the men. Also, could you have them immediately kill the men?'

{{Since you let me know ahead of time I let them know your orders of attacking anyone that isn't in the carriage when you summon them. After it is all over, come outside and introduce your self to them.}}

'That sounds great, then I'll be here relaxing until the time comes.'

Felix closed his eyes again and focused on the noises coming from outside, the horses' hooves hitting the ground, the squeaking from the wooden wheels, and lastly the chatter from the guards.
