Chapter 329 - "Let's Meet The Goods"
Jake, who was the nearest to Ainsley, instantly asked the child.
"Godtoddler, are you serious about wanting to buy that elf? He can be dangerous, you know…"
Jake was a bit happy that the task entrusted to him by a certain group of elves could be done this way, but he didn't expect Ainsley to take the hot potato into her own hands…
This blue-skinned elf wasn't only dangerous but also had a complicated background that might involve several enormous forces behind him. If the Sloan Family were involved in this, it wouldn't be worth it.
Ainsley also knew that there must be a conspiracy behind the blue-skinned elf since the guy had both royal demon and royal elf blood but became a criminal instead and was auctioned as a slave.
It was weird since if the seller wanted to get rid of this person and turned him into a slave, they could just sell him at the slave market and not give him such a good auction hall like the Billios.
Also, the guy had so many scars, but he's not dead yet. It's clear that someone was protecting him in the dark, but another force was trying to kill him.
By selling the guy at the auction, maybe the seller hoped that the elf would get a suitable master and hide with his new master, away from the conspiracy.
That's how this elf was shipped so far away from the Elven Continent to the Human Continent, right?
Ainsley also vaguely understood all of this political thingy, but her desire to have her own alchemist was stronger than ever.
It's impossible to recruit an alchemist into the family if that family wasn't the one producing an alchemist.
If a family member didn't become an alchemist, there's no way the alchemist guild would let their precious alchemists go.
And 99% of alchemists preferred to stay with the alchemist guild because the privilege and the status they enjoyed would be much better than when they joined other forces.
Thus, this was Ainsley's only way to get an elf alchemist not tied to the alchemist guild in Godlif country, one that got an all-rounded ability too!
Ainsley nodded at Jake and spoke, "Yes, Zack. I'm sewious. I like that elf...and he can be my mentol, maybe...anyway, I like him." Ainsley lied without batting an eyelid and secretly apologised to Godfather.
Godfather, you're my only mentor, okay? When I said this guy could be my mentor, I'm just spouting nonsense!
Jake could also feel that Ainsley was speaking nonsense. She just liked the elf…
Maybe because that's an elf, and children like Ainsley could easily get allured to mythical beings like the elves.
Jake paused before letting a long sigh.
"Okay, then, you can bid for the elf...but how about letting me buy that elf for you?" Jake finally decided to lessen Ainsley's burden since he couldn't prevent Ainsley from buying the elf.
"I think you won't stay too long in the capital, right? You will probably leave in one or two days...so let me buy this elf for you as a separation gift."
Jake stroked Ainsley's head once more and grinned.
"How is it?"
Ainsley blinked her cute, beady eyes at Jake, still processing what the guy had said.
Uh...this guy is so kind to bid for me?
I'll indeed go home soon, though.
Staying in the capital for too long when I'm still a child can be bad for my health since the capital also has a thin miasma from the monsters, and the air pollution is quite poisonous…
This guy knows I'm leaving soon and purposely want to give me a good-bye gift! Awww, why are you so kind, ah? You're the best, Zack!
Ainsley felt her heart melt under Jake's kindness. She looked up at Jake and nodded.
"Owkay...twank ywou in advance."
That's how the baby got Jake to bid for her sake.
When the others knew about this, they thought that the young man was just trying to please his little sister or something, which was the Godtoddler.
But those in the room looked at Jake with their mouths hanging open.
Are you serious, Jake? We know that you're the one putting that elf to be auctioned today, wishing you can push away the trouble to someone else.
But how come you buy back the elf and then gives it to the Godtoddler?! Are you insane? Don't you know it might be dangerous for that baby??
Alas, the auction ended way too fast because no one else bid for the elf, afraid of the mutant elf and how he could bring troubles to their family.
After the auction ended, Ainsley went backstage with her group. Jake and the guild masters also followed behind for safety issue.
"This way, esteemed guest." One of the casino staff greeted Ainsley and hurriedly brought her to where the caged elf was placed.
The backstage was quite large with various people visiting it to claim their items. However, the caged elf was placed at the very corner and they even got 4 guards guarding the cage itself.
The cage was also covered with the same red clothing as before, blocking everyone's sight.
When the guests backstage saw Ainsley's group had arrived to claim the elf, they peeked at the baby, feeling a bit curious.
What will happen when a mutant elf meets a prodigious baby?
Unfortunately, the guests were denied entry and couldn't proceed further.
The guards created a barrier that could hide anything inside.
Even sounds wouldn't leak out from inside the barrier, creating a perfect cage and camouflage for the people inside the barrier.
Now...let's meet the elf!
