Chapter 683 Chapter 683: Purchasing Neccessities
The streets of the Capital were full, but going to the Bazaar it was a totally different sense of full.
Everyone passing through needed to push the rest so they could walk, and there were those crashing on each other on every corner of the Bazaar streets.
Still the chaos and ruckuss seemed to stop once Eric and his people walked through and continued once again once they had passed.
It wasn't due to Eric though, it was due to the Palace Guard they had accompanying and leading the way for him.
The reputation and status of the Palace Guards was similar to that of a high official, as they even had the special permissions to kill everyone they deemed dangerous to the Sultan or Sultanat.
They could kill first and answer after, they didn't need for permission to kill, they only needed to have a good reason after they did it.
For that reason no one dared to even cross their way, and even if they did most of the people would lower their heads, whether it was in sign of respect or fear.
Of course there were quite a few people who started rumouring about Eric and his possible identities, yet no one knew who he was, or what his background was.
Eric didn't care about what they thought, or what ideas they had though. While he would have liked to not receive such attention, it was still his advantage.
Not to mention that being accompanied by one of the Palace Guards it also gave him a kind of protection towards price increase.
Who would dare to inflate the price, or play tricks in front of a Palace Guard!? Only if they had some sudden death wish, but even then there would be much simpler and easier ways to die.
Eric purchased quite a few trinklets on the way, some beautiful jewelleries, some rare ingredients that weren't that easy to find, and some traditional clothes as well.
The Guards did the same as well, they seemed to be using this chance to the outmost as they were buying from almost every stand on the way.
When they were finally done purchasing these small things, Eric looked at the Palace Guard and said in a straightforward manner,
"We are done having fun around, its time we get to some real business, can you take me to a good place to purchase some neccessities!"
The neccessities that Eric was talking about were men, women, and children of any age. They were the neccessities of these days.
Those neccessities were among the best merchandise and were even more pricier than good pills that could help people save lives or help them advance, and evolve.
Of course, the neccessities that were Eric and the Palace Guard were about to go and have a look were all leftovers as the cream of crops had already been removed.
The moment that this kind of merchandise was found, they were filtered from the capturers as the best were offered to the officials or the Palace directly, while the rest was sold like this.
There were quite a few reasons why people would buy this kind of merchandise, form having them as bait when hunting and searching, to using them for stress relief, or even just to release their anger.
In fact, there was even a hidden establishment that bought weak and defensless merchandise to use in rooms where people could go beat, ra*pe, destroy, and even mutilate them just to relive their stress.
It was inhumane that was for sure, but humanity had completely evaporated since long ago.
The Palace Guard was a bit startled by the request, but he didn't say anything as he lead Eric and his guards towards the destination.
The Neccessities Market was at the very end of the Bazaar, and while walking towards it the populace got sparer.
Not many people had the wealth to purchase neccessities, and few people would go there for fun.
While humanity had evaporated long ago, they didn't want to be reminded of where they were going to end up should they stop fighting to survive.
Upon seeing the Palace Guard, Eric, and finally Eric's guards all the clerks working at the front of their stores couldn't help but walk forward respectively and invite the Palace Guard and Eric inside.
In their eyes Eric was a big fish and they couldn't allow others to take him away from them, what they didn't expect though was the next lines from Eric,
"Everyone no need to worry, I intend of getting to each and any of your shops one by one, and I will surely make purchases as long as the merchandise is good!"
His words shocked the clerks but also the Palace Guard as well, because one had to understand just how pricey everything was.
Even the weakest and useless among the neccesities would still go for prices as high as 1 Gould, which was the Gold Coin of the Sultanat.
In prespective every Gold Coin was enough for a normal adventurer to waste one week away by boozing, hotels, and all the fun with women of good quality, and he could still buy a good weapon.
As for good products the price went from 5 to 10 Goulds which would make even the richest man in the Sultanat think that it wasn't worth it.
Of course, the biggest reason why everyone wanted to purchase neccessities from this regulated market was because they would all come with a 'collar'.
Which meant that an evolver with a 'enslavement' insigna would put a 'collar' on them, and they would be completely controlled.
While the Palace Guard knew the latest news regarding Eric as he had been given the three princesses and also set as Royal Guest, he didn't knew much about his personal wealth.
For certain the Sultan wouldn't be paying for all this, right!? If that was truly the case then his head was bound to fly off.
Still, he couldn't be straightforward and ask, while he said,
"Master Eric you need to be careful with your expenditure, sometimes the neccessities arent worth as much as they say they are!"
"Hehehehehe~!
You don't have to worry brother Ekim, I am not someone who can be fooled easily! As for money, that is something that I have never lacked of!"
Eric wanted to relax the guy since he wanted to be accompanied through all the stores, as for paying for everything he wasn't worried, as he wasn't going to pay for them.
With those thoughts, and with a much more comfortable Ekim, Eric made his way towards the first establishment.
The clerk was overjoyed when he heard Eric walk towards his working area and immediately guided them towards the best waiting room.
Meanwhile a tablet containing all the information regarding their products was provided to Eric, were it was stated almost everything.
Whether it was the products measurments, their Realm, their true strength, and even how many times they had been beaten, eaten food, or had intimate relationships with other people.
The information was too detailed, but there were people who would like to know all that stuff. In fact there was also a section where all their birthmarks or signs were written as well.
Eric only took 5 minutes to have a look through all the information before he managed to select 23 of them and then immediately said to the clerk.
"Prepare these 23 for me, and it will be a bit troublesome if I run through all the shops in here, so can you call for a representative from each of them, and their files?
I will just make the selection and they can prepare everything, I will be waiting in here for them!
You can arrange some entertainment for us in the meanwhile!"
The clerk couldn't believe his ears, this was the first time he was making such a big deal. Every file that Eric had selected was one of the best.
Well, there was just one or two who didn't seem to make the cut, but each of them had a price tage of at least 5 Goulds, and the priciest one was at 13 Goulds.
The total sale went up to 127 Goulds, with the 15% bonus that he received from his work, he was basically getting a good 7.62 Goulds.
This would be the highest comission he had ever received since working for this place, with that much money he could buy himself a neccesity of his own.
Furthermore Eric seemed like a wealthy Young Master, perhaps he would give him a good tip as well. He couldn't help but dream at this point.
Doing immediately as he was told, he reported the sales to his Manager before he went and informed the rest of the clerks waiting outside as well.
It immediately became a big news within the Neccesities Market, as each establishment sent a manager and their files with them.
The establishment that Eric was at the moment send someone as well, and surprisingly or unsurprisingly, all the sent managers were women.
Eric had no intention of refusing the good intentions of these good establishments, as he started looking through the files and these beauties bodies.
But he found noone who could catch his attention, for that reason all these beauties were handed over to his guards and Ekim. They could decide on the distribution themselves.
What surprised him the most was that he was provided with new files that werent part of the previous ones.
It seemed like everyone would be hiding some of the stash and would only make it available for certain customers.
Still, he didn't really care right now, as he was only concerned on the purchase bag…
