By the end of the auction, ten slaves had been sold on the stage.

No matter how pitiful they are, I can't be impulsive. With my current financial resources, I am able to buy them, but how to support them and where to raise them in the future are the most troublesome things, which may even exceed my current capabilities.

The little slaves on the stage were auctioned off to the end and then escorted to the backstage one after another.

The last slave to appear was a normal human boy with red inner and white outer hair, but under the dazzling light, his hair turned into a transparent, bright silver-red.

His face looked depressed, his eyes were ashen, and he was covered in yellow dust, which stained his black tailcoat.

Isabella used her power of insight to discover that he had awakened four magic attributes: fire, lightning, earth, and light.

"...The last item in today's auction," Robert introduced, "He is from the Third Empire of Corey Roman and has the talent of an excellent mercenary... He was born in a magic cave on the border of the Oberic Empire. His parents were both adventurers who died in battle a few years ago..."

Robert on the stage continued to introduce the product in an elegant tone without any emotion. He acted as if this kind of thing was nothing, as if he was introducing an ordinary product.

Isabella's eyes met the boy's in silence for a few seconds.

Under the mask, Isabella felt that this was the time to take action. His magical talent was excellent. How could such a being fall into the hands of others, become an unknown mercenary, and finally spend his life in mediocrity?

But what is the purpose of buying a person without thinking clearly about the future plan? Just to give him a chance to break free from the cage?

The boy in the cage breathed slowly and narrowed his eyes, waiting to fall into the hands of his employer. He looked silent and lowered, as if he had already succumbed to his tragic fate.

Robert continued to introduce the boy in the cage and what combat skills he had. As for his specific origins, he did not make it clear. He might have been picked up or captured. In any case, it was impossible for him to come here voluntarily.

"Warm reminder... The shortcoming of this boy is that he has killed five employers. If any of you are capable, buy him!"

"…The starting price for this boy is twenty silver coins."

"twenty five……"

People started to raise their hands to participate in the bidding.

"thirty……"

"Thirty-five!"

Time passed little by little, and Isabella was still struggling.

……

"Fifty silver coins!"

A middle-aged man continued to raise the price. It was the fifth time in a row that he raised the price.

Isabella said in a deep voice: "Fifty-five silver coins!"

Several rounds of bidding followed, and the only sounds heard were cold numbers.

The boy in the cage was unmoved, it would be the same no matter who he was sold to.

After a few minutes, the price reached two hundred silver coins. The two bidders were relatively stable, but their attitudes were equally fierce.

At this time, the middle-aged man who was bidding said, "Little sister, why are you buying him? Are you also going to buy a sex slave with a good body and comfortable sex?"

As soon as these words came out, all the competitors burst into laughter...

These words were like a basin of dirty water being splashed upon me for no apparent reason.

Yeah, it's really strange behavior for a little girl to bid for a teenager.

Isabella had no point to refute and continued to raise the price.

Finally, the middle-aged man gave up because the price had reached three hundred silver coins. Three hundred silver coins were enough to hire a junior level three professional mercenary for a year. It was really not worth it to buy a kid who had barely grown any hair.

"...Three hundred silver coins once, twice...deal!"

Finally, Isabella decided to buy the young man on the stage. At least he might be a promising talent or become her bodyguard in the future.

When the show was over, there were various criticisms...

"That's weird. Spending three hundred silver coins on a boy?"

"He's just a boy! Twenty silver coins is enough!"

"Could it be that she's attracted to him? Hahaha! Is she really willing to spend money to buy love? A child-raising husband?"

Backstage, Isabella was the last one to arrive. There were only a few people from the Flower of Sin organization discussing what to eat and what fun activities would be available tomorrow.

Isabella had no extra silver coins, so she paid the equivalent of three gold coins.

Robert guessed at a glance that it was the little girl who came to the coffee shop two days ago. She was very similar in height and voice.

"Little sister, do you know him?"

Robert asked, his face calm and his tone calm, without any intention of mocking Isabella.

"I do not know him."

Isabella looked at the boy who was half asleep in the cage and approached quietly.

“He’s a man of extraordinary talent.”

After saying this, the boy was still in a daze and sleepy state. He took a deep breath and looked up to see Isabella outside the cage, but she was wearing a mask, which scared the boy.

He was frightened and leaned back against the cage.

"Little sister, I learned from the merchant that he is very dangerous. If you buy him, aren't you afraid that he will kill you?"

Robert asked doubtfully.

Isabella did not respond, but squatted in front of the boy, face to face, with the iron cage between them.

"What's your name? How old are you?"

Isabella asked with a slightly cold tone.

The boy rolled his eyes, didn't reply, twisted his body and turned sideways.

It seemed as if he was responding in anger to Isabella's sudden move that frightened him.

"Forget it, let him out. It's getting late and I'm sleepy."

Isabella gave an order, and one of the Flower of Sin members with the key opened the cage.

Isabella noticed that the boy had a red slave collar around his neck.

Robert handed over a red control rope with runes written all over it and said, "I don't care what you buy it for. I'm just hosting the auction part-time."

Isabella took the control rope and took a look.

"Young man, come with me. I won't treat you unfairly."

The boy climbed out of the cage and stood up. He was only a head taller than Isabella. The muscles on his body made him look very thin, as if he had not eaten for almost three days.

"...Thank you." The boy felt that his employer was not a bad person after all, so he spoke, "What should I call you from now on?"

Isabella hadn't thought about this question, but it was inconvenient to talk about it now, so she just walked out of the house...

The two walked onto the streets of the North City.

The boy found that the young employer in front of him didn't say anything, so he didn't dare to ask more questions. With his stomach growling with hunger, he kept following her.

Isabella finally found a late-night tavern and ordered pasta and grilled meat.

"I won't eat, you can eat."

Isabella sat opposite the young man, her tone flat, blaming herself for acting on impulse. If she bought this person today, she might have to spend more money in the future.

The boy started to get a little wary, and seeing Isabella's relaxed look, he ate the meat and noodles carefully.

It had been an unknown amount of time since he had a normal meal. As he ate, the boy silently shed a few tears.

Isabella crossed her legs, crossed her arms on her knees, lowered her head, squinted her eyes, and shook her body. She felt very sleepy and was about to fall asleep while sitting.

A few minutes later, the boy finished eating and the smacking of his lips stopped.

Isabella asked again: "What's your name? How old are you?"

"Erwin Keller, twelve years old."

"My life story, what the auctioneer said was right. I'm not a bad person. Those employers bullied others and also bullied me, so I killed them."

"Oh?"

Isabella said in a flat tone.

"It's all over. You can be yourself. It's too late. After I settle you down..."

Isabella yawned and walked towards a nearby bed and breakfast.

After opening the door, Isabella said, "Boss, stay at the hotel..."

The boss, who was smoking a pipe, took a look and saw that it was a child. He didn't say much and continued reading the book. He bit the pipe and replied, "You... five copper coins a night."

Isabella listened to the boss's answer. Why did she feel so strange?

Then he pointed at the boy beside him and said, "Open a B&B for him and let him stay for a month. How much is it?"

The boss took a closer look and blinked.

What kind of plot is this? A poor boy meets a rich girl?

The boss stammered, "...two silver coins a month."

Isabella and Erwin went up to the third floor, where they found a large room with a bathroom and a window overlooking the street.

"You will live here alone for the time being. I may have time tomorrow night and will take you to increase your magic power source." Isabella took out five silver coins and said, "Here, this is your pocket money for this month."

Before Isabella left...

"Oh! Now I remember..."

Isabella narrowed her eyes, took out one of her primary magic swords from the void, and placed the blade at the door.

"Make do with it for now, don't run around, don't do bad things..."

Isabella opened the space gap, returned to her room, and fell asleep on the bed.

It was the first time that Alvin saw space magic, and also the first time he knew that space magic could allow for instant travel.

She gave herself food, shelter, weapons, and a truly new life.

"So... there really is a saint in this world?"

Erwin picked up the primary magic sword. It was brand new and showed no signs of having been used before...

The next day, Alvin took the money and went for a walk in the city. The feeling of freedom was indescribable. He spent some money to buy food and water, and bought some new clothes.

Then I returned to the B&B, took a shower, and waited for nightfall, waiting for the guidance of the "Saint" in my mind...
