Chapter 79: [A Special Customer!]

[Adam's POV]

"Those fucking slave traders! I will kill them all!!" The wolf guy, Finar Regalia, ran away in a rage as he heard me explain about the situation of his sister and mother.

Watching him run away, I sighed as I turned around and began walking towards the inn where I was staying.

"It's the 7th this month," I counted the number of times that someone attacked me and I had to manipulate them out using information. Last month it was 27 attempts, so I guess it's better?

I guess I am now used to these attempts. Even my ability to manipulate people with words has increased by quite a margin.

I reached her about 2 and a half months ago, and began setting up a small shop here. Since I was somewhat of an expert in Array, I set up a Minor Array Shop.

The arrays were made for daily chores, such as minor stamina relief or temporarily storing food. And even has spells for washing clothes, etc. As for creating arrays for combat purposes, I didn't make any for now.

'Something like that is for the players whom I find potential in,' getting two players through arrays was one of the ways I was going to get in touch with them.

While I did come here for Players, there were a couple more things to that.

One was to check how much authority I have over the players. Am I allowed to give them a quest? And what kind of quests that I can issue? Limitations and numbers? Rewards and penalties? Everything along those lines.

Two was to see how much my own [Player] system affects them and what are the similarities between them and me. Not only that, but I wanted to confirm if everything was the same as before or were there any changes to what I know from before.

Players are going to be one of the strongest forces on this planet in about 5 years or so. It would be better to rope as many of them with me as possible.

Though that is not all I came for here.

What I came for here was also the ownership of this town. Even though I planned to do it slowly and slowly over the years, it was something that was very important to me.

As for why, then there were three reasons in essence.

It connected 7 Major Cities. 4 on the side of the Aurelian Empire and 3 on the side of the Nirvana Empire. And if I happen to play my cards right, I would be able to control all 7 of them.

Second reason was the nearby forest. If my memory serves correctly, there is a witch town hidden not too far from here in the forest. And it wasn't just any town, but one of the central hubs connecting to the underworld where the Queen Witches lived.

'Though I didn't find any clues related to that place even till now,' I thought as I kept walking towards the inn.

The third thing was the players again. Being the beginner town, it will soon become a place for more and more newbies to come, each update bringing more players than the previous one.

'While it is a small town, if I were to expand it to a megacity, every turn I can get more and more players at once. Reminds me of fishing.' I smiled like an idiot fantasizing about the future that didn't even happen yet.

By the time I was done arranging my thoughts, I entered the inn.

"I heard that you are searching for me?" I asked as I held the hat in my hand, making her pause for a moment as she observed her from top to bottom.

"Blue eyes, black hair. Charming but suspicious looking human with a creepy smile," she muttered, her thoughts making me stop smiling for a moment.

"Umu. The description matched," she spoke in a low voice. Her voice was quite calm, and from her slow manner of speech and using fewer verbs, it seemed like she didn't speak much.

Though I forgave her words because she was a child. Even though I wanted to hit her head a little.

"Need Help. Can you make array?" She asked, as her eyes turned a bit sadder. She seemed like she would cry any moment, so I decided it would be better if I were to handle this more carefully.

Turning around, I saw a few eyes were already on us.

"I will listen to your words. But it would be better if I do it at my shop," I asked her, making her turn at me before looking at the people around us. Then she nodded as she stood up before speaking,

"Let's go."

I turned to Rita as I spoke in a language that the beastman use for private communications," 3 silvers. I need all the information on her by the end of the day."

"10 silver," she said.

"5 Silver." I increased a little.

"8. I won't go below that," she spoke again, and I used my [Haggling] skills on her.

[Haggling(Uncommon)!]

[Effects: Allows the user to reduce the price of items by 10%!]

"7 Coins," I spoke, and she glared at me a little before signing as she nodded.

"What are you talking about?" that witch girl looked at me with a cautious face, while I pondered before smirking at her and answering,

"I am just paying her to find information about you. I don't want to get into unnecessary trouble."

"Don't lie. Not stupid," she spoke as she looked at Rita before looking at me and I chuckled before raising both of my hands in defeat.

"Well. It is important, but don't worry, it is not related to you," I assured her. Ain't I such a nice person?

She was skeptical of me for a few moments before she lowered her staff and spoke," you better not trick me," and then began walking outside.

"Yes mam," I spoke as I followed behind her.
