Fairy Tale: With Sin Of Pride

Rod shook his head, eyeing the two adventurers as he pondered for a moment.

With a casual flick of his divine axe, he swept it in a circle. Flames surged forth, burning away every last shred of clothing on the two adventurers.

"I'll be taking your clothes," Rod said with a smirk, indulging in a small bout of mischief.

Satisfied with his handiwork, he strolled toward the market.

The marketplace was lined with various independent stalls.

"High-quality weapons! Come take a look! Only a few silver coins!"

"Special wound-healing herbs—only three portions left! First come, first served!"

"Slaves! Newly captured, top-tier slaves! Guaranteed untouched! Only 50 gold coins each!"

The loud shout immediately drew attention from the crowd.

Slaves weren't exactly rare, but in a small place like Mushroom Town, they weren't a common sight.

"Boss, isn't that price a bit too high?"

"Yeah, 50 gold coins for one slave? That's outrageous!"

"At that price, you could buy four or five slaves elsewhere."

The murmurs of bystanders rose as they debated the steep cost.

"Well, it depends on the quality of the slaves!" the slave trader shot back, saliva spraying as he passionately defended his wares. "The ones I'm selling? You can't compare them to those misshapen rejects! Look at their faces, their bodies! They could easily be sold to noble estates!"

He pointed to the slaves inside the cages, eagerly showcasing them.

"Slaves, huh?"

Rod's curiosity was piqued as he watched the crowd gather. He'd never seen a slave auction before, so he decided to take a closer look.

The onlookers standing at the back suddenly felt as if a blazing sun had approached from behind them.

"Why is it so hot all of a sudden?"

"Yeah, it's getting unbearably warm!"

Instinctively, the crowd parted, forming a clear path. With his divine axe slung over his back, Rod made his way effortlessly to the front.

There, five slaves were locked inside large iron cages loaded onto a wagon: two women and three men.

One of the female slaves was a mature woman, voluptuous and exuding an air of grace. Despite looking disheveled from days without grooming, her beauty was undeniable. The younger girl next to her appeared to be no older than fourteen or fifteen, a delicate, undeveloped figure.

As for the three male slaves, they were all handsome and strong, their well-built physiques clearly visible.

Rod had to admit, the slave trader had quite an eye for quality.

However, his gaze lingered on the older woman, his brows furrowing in thought. She appeared to be in her early thirties, with a curvy, sensual figure and long, wavy chestnut hair. There was something soft and maternal about her presence.

But what truly caught Rod's attention was how much she resembled that bastard hero who had kicked him out of the party. The more he looked, the more undeniable the similarity became.
