The soldier walked out of the inn and watched Agor and Eloline's receding backs with a very vigilant look.

He had just been interrogated and was full of hostility towards these two guys who were obviously here to "cause trouble."

Zuo Si shook his head indifferently: "Don't worry, they are holy warriors, they will not do anything before finding solid evidence. Besides, we will leave Calim Port in a few days, and everything that happens here will have nothing to do with us. By the way, did the drow elf try to escape today?"

"No! She has behaved much better today since she tried to escape twice last night and was caught by the big cat. Oh, by the way, Bernard came here about ten minutes ago and forced an orc slave warrior and a control ring on me."

As he spoke, the soldier pulled out a pale yellow ring that looked like it was made of pure copper from his pocket, and pointed to the figure sitting in the corner of the first floor of the inn, who was eating and drinking with the little werewolves.

"Half-orc slave warrior?" Zuo Si was stunned for a moment.

Because he really didn't understand what the merchant meant by sending him a "high-level slave".

In other words, in his opinion, forcibly keeping a guy who has powerful military force and may be full of resentment towards his "master" by his side as a slave is simply a suicidal act.

If one day, the negative emotions accumulated by this slave suddenly burst out and he planned to die together with his owner, there is a high probability that he would kill the slave owner on the spot.

Even those so-called "control collars" don't help.

The soldier lowered his voice and explained, "According to Bernard himself, this slave warrior was a free gift from the Longding Chamber of Commerce. However, he himself is not sure whether this is a spy planted inside the caravan, so he intends to leave it to you to deal with."

"I see."

A thoughtful expression appeared on Zuo Si's face.

Although he didn't know much about the Langding Chamber of Commerce, the largest merchant alliance in Port Kalin, he had heard a lot of rumors about it.

For example, a certain unlucky guy refused the invitation of the Langding Chamber of Commerce without knowing what was good for him, and as a result, the caravan disappeared while crossing the desert and never came back.

For example, the owner of a merchant ship offended a powerful person in charge of the Langding Chamber of Commerce, and then was besieged by pirates when crossing the Racing Channel. Not only were the ship and cargo robbed, but the people were also thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

Since the country of Calimshan is not like Amn in the north, which has established perfect laws and order, business competition is always full of chaos, killing and blood.

After a brief thought, Zuo Si immediately ordered: "Bring him to my room after dinner. In addition, tomorrow is the night of the full moon. Take Fangus and her people out of the city before dark, and take the iron cages in the basement with you."

"clear!"

The soldier agreed without hesitation.

Although he behaves like a normal person most of the time.

But when it comes to obedience, no matter what orders the master gives, there has never been even the slightest hesitation.

Furthermore, up to now, the soldiers have not shown any personal desires or preferences, as if they were magical creations that existed only to serve their masters.

However, Zuo Si did not dwell on these things. Instead, he went straight back to his room and took out the "magic storage ring" that he had found in the upper area of ​​the floating city's tower but had not yet been completed.

Then he took out a very high-quality black diamond (worth at least 5,000 gold coins) and two blue pearls made into [Mana Regeneration Pearls]. One of them was looted from the human pirates under Hallet.

It was obvious that he was planning to complete this magic storage ring himself.

Since the most important part of infusing magic has been completed, the remaining steps are some detailed and tedious steps for the mage.

But for Zuo Si, who already has the LV9 creator level, these are not a problem at all.

He also planned to use a high-quality diamond and two pearls to forcibly increase the enchantment level of the magic storage ring, so that it would have more and more powerful additional abilities.

In this way, Zuo Si quickly entered a state of concentration and completed the creation of the magic storage ring in less than twenty minutes. He then began to carefully use the [Transformation] ability to add more attributes.

When all the densely packed runes on the inside of the ring were carved, a smile of relief finally appeared on his face.

[Sharp Law Storage Ring]

The ring can store spells of no more than six levels in total, and grants the wearer an additional first-, second-, third-, and fourth-level spell slot.

"That's right! Judging from the excellent magical properties of the main material, Asta must want to make a top-level magic storage ring that can store ten levels of spells.

As a result, before he could even finish it, he was already impatient to carry out the lich transformation ceremony.

This ring has the potential for further upgrades.

Unfortunately, this is all I can do for now."

Zuo Si commented meaningfully.

At the same time, he put the newly made ring on his finger.

Since the [Ring of Continuous Fireballs] was previously given to the shadow assassin Yelinia to use, he happened to be missing a magic ring, and now he finally got it.

Just as Zuo Si was considering what kind of spell to store in the ring, the tightly closed door suddenly creaked open, and soldiers came in from the outside passage with orc slave warriors.

"Are you my new master?"

Rhett looked up and down at the boy in front of him, who looked only about ten years old, his eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.

Because he simply couldn't understand how such a "human cub" could maintain the loyalty and respect of the powerful human warrior beside him.

But just a few seconds later, the orc warrior found the answer.

Zuo Si didn't say a word, and immediately released the second-level magic [Detect Thoughts] through spells and gestures, and then said: "Whether I am your master depends on whether you can give me a satisfactory answer next. First of all, tell me whether the Langding Chamber of Commerce sent you here for any ulterior motive?"

"An ulterior motive?"

Rhett blinked in confusion.

Just as he was about to say something, Zuo Si had already "listened" to his subconscious thoughts and immediately interrupted him, "Well, it seems that you are not a spy or a spy.

The second question is, do you feel resentful about being a slave, or even have the urge to kill your master and run away? If I am willing to give you freedom, will you continue to stay and accept my employment? "

When he heard the word "freedom", Rhett's originally indifferent attitude finally showed a drastic emotional fluctuation.

But perhaps because he had been a slave for too long, he was not sure whether this was a test from the new master or a sincere one.

So for a moment I didn’t know how to answer.

However, Zuo Si, who was able to read other people's thoughts with the help of magic, directly activated the magic on the metal ring.

Snap!

Bang!

As the "control collar" automatically opened and fell to the ground, the Orc warrior was surprised to find that he had actually gotten rid of the thing that symbolized his slavery and had been worn around his neck since he was fourteen years old.
