A Top Assassin Reincarnates as a Noble - Chapter 25

Chapter 25: Emergency, Early School

“Eh?! Are you really going to buy me?”

Elena’s eyes widened.

“If you’re not willing to be bought by me, I won’t force you.”

“No, no, no, that’s not what I meant! Sir, what I wanted to say was that the price of buying me is enough for you to choose eight maids with a certain special competency. Why would you…”

Elena hurriedly waved her hand and explained.

“I’ll consider it an investment. I believe you are worth 15 gold coins, and far more.”

“Thank you for your trust, Sir.”

“Picking nine literate, hardworking, reliable maidservants is the first task to prove your worth, Elena.”

“I understand.”

“Go on.”

I turned and walked out of the curtain.

I left the selection of maidservants to Elena.

I doubted that

the circus owner’s act of telling me that Elena was also available before leaving was done on purpose.

However, Riston Inn was indeed lacking a person who was skilled in management and proficient in all aspects currently.

I could accept such a talent even if she’s more expensive.

10 minutes later.

Elena walked out from behind the curtain, followed by nine beautiful young girls. One of them stood out with her fox ears and fluffy tail.

“Sir, I am done. Everyone here is literate, and worth exactly two gold coins each.”

“Alright, let’s go out.”

“I’ll show you the way.”

Elena took the initiative to walk to the front.

I was quite satisfied with the price of two gold coins per person.

I only needed one manager like Elena. Whether she had done so out of personal reasons or to save money for me, it didn’t matter to me.

“Yo! The customer is out. One, two… nine. All with the cheapest price. Elena, you’re really making my heart ache. The customer hasn’t paid yet, but you’re already starting to save money for your new owner.”

The circus owner looked at the candidates who followed Elena and me out. Although he said that his heart ached, the smile on his face was from the bottom of his heart.

“Where do I settle the paperwork?”

I stepped forward and asked.

“Haha, Sir, sign your name here and let each of them write their own name and the change of slave owner will be completed. You only need to pay another 13 gold coins.”

The circus owner took out the contracts that he had already prepared and handed them over, telling me where to sign.

I picked up the contracts and signed my name one by one. I handed them to Elena and the others, took out thirteen gold coins, and handed them to the boss.

“Great! Sir, the carriage outside has been prepared for you. There’s no need to pay for this. If you need anything else in the future, you’re welcome to come again.”

The boss warmly led us out of the other exit of the circus. Sure enough, there were two horse-drawn carriages waiting outside.

I had to admit that the circus owner’s foresight and perseverance were admirable. He kept a stunner like Elena by his side yet was still able to keep her chaste for a higher price. The transaction process was also refreshing.

What a pleasant deal.

Elena and I drove the carriages back to the Riston Inn, where Uncle Herbert and Aunt Lola were already waiting for us.

“Young Master Will, you’re back. The workers who are renovating the inn won’t arrive until tomorrow. Have you bought the maidservants”

Uncle Herbert came forward and greeted me, his gaze constantly darting into the carriage, a slightly sleazy smile on his lips. “Aunt Lola, take Elena and the others to the third floor to freshen up before telling them what to do from now on.”

“Yes, Young Master Will.”

Aunt Lola led Elena and the others into the inn.

Uncle Herbert immediately moved closer and sat in the carriage. He gave me a thumbs-up.

“As expected of Young Master Will, you bought high-end goods right from the start. You even bought Boss Zucker’s personal maidservant.”

“Uncle Herbert, since you know everything, what’s the point of asking me to go to the black market? I haven’t seen anything except slaves in the circus.”

I felt helpless.

Initially, I thought that there was a special purpose for me to go to the black market. Now, it seemed that it was really just getting to me buy the maidservants.

Of the 50 kingdom gold coins that my mother had prepared for me, there were 17 left.

“Young master Will, since you picked 10 slaves, you should know the background of these 10 slaves, right?”

Uncle Herbert stopped smiling and looked at me with some seriousness.

The background of these slaves?!

Could it be that they still had many secrets?

I froze.

These were meant to be introduced to me by Elena, but I omitted them because I was determined to buy her.

“It seems that Young Master Will has yet to listen to Elena introduce their backgrounds. But it doesn’t matter. You’ve bought her anyway. There will be plenty of time later.”

Uncle Herbert saw through my thoughts and comforted me. He suddenly thought of something and continued, “Young Master Will, I have something to tell you. Olgus Academy has started school early.”

“The academy started school early?! When did this happen?”

I looked at Uncle Herbert in surprise.

“Just now, I heard that the three major academies in the kingdom have all started school early. I reckon the news will be announced to the entire country soon. Olgus Academy has already issued a notice. Students who are unable to arrive early but have obtained the academy’s test qualifications can take the test in any of the three major academies.

“The reason announced to the public is climate change. This year’s winter will come earlier than usual, so school will start early. As for the specific reason, I’m afraid only you will know when you go to the academy to ask your grandfather.”

“Okay, how many days before school starts?”

“Three days. School will start 25 days earlier than usual. Young Master Will, you have to get ready and head to the academy for the test. You don’t have to worry about the inn for the time being. We’ll just follow the set schedule.”

Uncle Herbert smiled and jumped out of the carriage.

“Got it.”

I moved the carriage to the backyard, went upstairs, and knocked on Elena’s door.

“Master?!”

Elena, who was combing her hair, was in pajamas. She opened the door while holding a wooden comb. The clothes at her chest was open, revealing a patch of fair skin. It was obvious that she had just washed up.

“Elena, don’t call me Master in the future. Tell the others as well, just call me Young Master.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

“Tomorrow, I’ll be going to Olgus Academy to study. I might not be able to come back within the short period. I’ve already informed Uncle Herbert about the inn’s plans. You can discuss them with him at any time. You can also change any aspect where you think is inappropriate. Here are 10 gold coins, spare money at your disposal. In short, when I return, I want to see a different Riston Inn.”

I took out ten gold coins and handed them to Elena. It was time to test her true abilities.

“Thank you for your trust, Young Master. Elena will definitely do her best. Young Master, won’t you come in and sit for a while?”

“No, have a good rest.”

I closed Elena’s door and left quickly.

This body was currently lacking in strength. Even if it had enough strength, I was not in the mood to consider this matter.

The three major magic academies in the kingdom started school early at the same time. Something big must have happened. I had to make preparations as soon as possible and go to the academy to find out the truth.
