How An Ordinary Company Slave Became The Prince Of Darkness 8 Chapter 8 ~ Buying A Residence

After a while, s.h.i.+ro and Carla had finally arrived at the residence.

And now, standing in front of them was a large house - or rather, a large mansion with white walls and red-painted roofs. The mansion has a large base in the middle that extends two floors above the ground, and on both sides of it stood the left, and the right-wing that was at least 1/3 taller than the base in the middle.

s.h.i.+ro had already somehow expected that the residence that Carla had recommended would be at least look like the one in front of him right now; Carla wouldn't recommend him to buy slaves if the residence she was planning to sell him can be managed by only one or two people.

( So this is it, huh...? For 175 gold coins... That almost worth nothing in the game yet in this world... )

As s.h.i.+ro looked at the mansion in front of him, he felt a weird emotion swell up inside him.

( If I can buy something like this so easily... Imagine what things I can do with all the currency I have inside my inventory... )

If s.h.i.+ro were to take out all kinds of currency stored inside his inventory, even the large mansion in front of him would not be able to fit all of it inside it. So s.h.i.+ro thought that there might not be a single thing right now in this world that he might not be able to buy with money.

And so he realized that: in this world, he was not only superior in power, he was also superior in money.

( That might be a little too exaggerated but... It might be true. )

[ s.h.i.+ro-san, what do you think? ]

In the middle of his thoughts, Carla had interrupted him.

[ Yea... It does look good outside. ] he turned a look at Carla and answered.

But the truth was, what the mansion looks outside doesn't matter to s.h.i.+ro. He was already used in living in his old dirty apartment room that a normal house with a single roof will already be enough for him.

But there were many benefits a private building like this will be able to provide him, so he took the time to consider and accept Carla's recommendation to him of considering buying a residence for himself.

( With something like this... I will be able to do some private research and experiments... I still don't know how my current self and this world works, so I might as well study it for a little. )

The "Research and experiments" s.h.i.+ro was talking about were first, for himself; he still does not exactly know how his current body works. For example, that time when he saw the blood of the girl that was getting beaten up in the streets earlier, his mind went black at that moment; that time, he l.u.s.ted for blood. s.h.i.+ro thought that this might be one of Vlad's racial ability: Blood Thirst.

Bloodthirst - In the game "SOUL ADVENTURES!!!", this ability only works when there were Wounded or Bleeding enemies near the player. It heightens up a few of the player's stats, specifically, his speed, strength, and regeneration speed; additionally, with this ability on, the player can suck out the blood of his enemies while making them immobile for a few seconds. This ability was one of the abilities s.h.i.+ro always uses in a 1 v 1 PVP as it was not only perfect for immobilizing a single enemy, but it was also perfect for damaging his enemy while he recovers his own health.

s.h.i.+ro thought that this Racial ability might be the reason for that occurrence. For all he knows, all his abilities and Racial abilities had worked so far; from his Night Vision, to his debuff - Burning Light. And other than those abilities, s.h.i.+ro still has many others that might require a large amount of s.p.a.ce and privacy.

[ So, Vlad-san... We're not only here to stare at it, right? How about we go inside? ]

[ Ahh... Yes... ] s.h.i.+ro answered with a small pause.

Hearing s.h.i.+ro answered in a positive way, Carla took the lead and started to walk towards the large structure in front of them. s.h.i.+ro then followed her from the back.

( I was lost in thought at the sight of this mansion but now that I take a proper look at it... Carlo do have the body of a woman... ) s.h.i.+ro thought as he stared at Carla's figure from the back.

Although Carla does not have a voluptuous body of a woman, she still has a pale and white dotless skin that almost reflects the light of the sun and a fierce but womanly face. With Carla's appearance, one would not think of her as a girl from their first sight of her, but if everyone would take a proper and serious look, they would be able to figure out the truth; that Carla was a not a very handsome man, but a very beautiful woman.

( But still... If she's this beautiful why is she trying to hide it? Well, there must be some kind of reason for it... In any case, it's none of my business. )

Continuing to follow Carla, they're now in front of the mansion, looking straight at its doors.

Carla then continued to move forward and knocked on the door in front of her.

[ Baron Baldo! It's me, Carlo Alexandria. ] Carla stated her name.

...

...

Waiting for a short moment, the door opened and a fat guy wearing luxurious clothes came out.

[ CCarlo-sama... What brings you to my humble place? ] the fat guy, Baldo, asked, with his face worried and his hands holding each other, shaking.

[ I found someone who might be interested in buying your residence. Could he perhaps take a little of your time to investigate your place? ]

[ Oh! Is that so? I will gladly do so! Please take all the time you need. ] saying that with enthusiasm on his face, he turned his eyes on s.h.i.+ro.

Seeing the luxurious figure of s.h.i.+ro, greed swelled up inside Baldo.

[ Is he perhaps th-the buyer!? CCarlo-sama, how much did he offer!? ]

[ Oh, please don't get too excited Baldo-san, he was not the person who decides the price, I am... ] with an angry expression on her face, Carla whispered those words to Baldo.

[ Your mansion does not worth anything more than 175 pieces of gold coins, please don't expect to get a price any higher than that... ]

Almost immediately, Baldo's enthusiasm died, turning his head downward after.

While s.h.i.+ro was able to hear those words too with his heightens hearing, he just decided to ignore it.

[ Anyway, Baldo-san, can you please welcome us inside? ]

[ O-Of course! ]

***

The mansion consists of many rooms - a large bathroom and a large number of toilets, long hallways, a library, a huge kitchen, two guest rooms, a beautiful living room, and of course, an elegant and luxurious Master's Bedroom.

Touring the mansion inside, s.h.i.+ro was perplexed to the idea that he will live in such a place if he buys it now.

( I've never dreamed of living in such a place but... It has so many benefits... ) s.h.i.+ro muttered in his head as he sips the tea on a gla.s.s cup he's holding with his hand.

[ So-So? What do you think n.o.ble-sama? Does my humble home suits your taste? ] Baldo said while caressing his hands with each other.

[ Un, I think it's great. ] s.h.i.+ro answered with a smile on his face.

( The yard and backyard were big too... Maybe I could try experimenting with my summons in those... )

Summons - One of s.h.i.+ro's greatest fighting power. While his race was a Vampire Prince, he has three job cla.s.s that focuses on summoning monsters. Of course, he won't be able to summon his monsters in a closed s.p.a.ce, so he can only either summon them outside the city or in a private place where no one would be able to see. s.h.i.+ro's Summons mostly consist of large monsters that he can fight with. If he summons them outside where someone would see, he does not know how the people of this world might react to them. While there was no reason for him to summon his monsters yet, s.h.i.+ro wanted to at least test them out just in case he might meet with someone who would be able to hurt him.

( Well, in any case, all I need is a place where I can stay at. )

[ Un, it might be a good idea for me to buy it... No, I will buy it. ]

[ I-is that so!? ]

[ You would definitely not regret that decision s.h.i.+ro-san. ] Carla, who's sitting at the other side of the table said while holding another gla.s.s cup on his hand.

[ For the slaves, how about tomorrow? ]

[ Let me think about that matter first Carlsan. ]

[ As I said earlier, Vlad-san, slaves here are normal, or do you think you will be able to manage this mansion by yourself? ]

[ No, it's not about that. I would like to test something first. ]

[ Oh~? What would that be? ]

( Summoning Vampire Brides... If I would be able to summon them, I would like to test their capabilities first. If they're incompetent... Then I will consider buying slaves. ) he muttered only in his head.

[ Well, It's a secret. ]

[ ... ]

Hearing those words from s.h.i.+ro, Carla was left with a weird expression on her face.

[ Anyway, Baron Baldo had now sold his Residence to Vlad Alucard. Both of you, Please sign here. ]

s.h.i.+ro signed the paper with a calm expression, while Baldo signed his with a worried face.

With that, the negotiation was finished at a quick pace.

***

[ Well, anyway, thank you for helping me Carlo-san. ]

Outside the mansion, Carlo and s.h.i.+ro are now saying their goodbyes, while Baldo had already went away with the sack of gold coins.

[ Don't worry about it. Anyway, if you ever have any problems regarding anything, you can ask me for help. ]

[ Is that so? Then I will do so. ]

[ In return, if you still have more of the coins you traded with me or any other stuff you have, please let me be the person you trade them with. If you want, I will even increase my offer for them. ]

[ Hmm... I will if I ever need money again. ]

[ Is that so... Then, let's end it here. ] saying those words, Carla raised a hand in front of s.h.i.+ro. Carla was asking for a handshake.

Of course, s.h.i.+ro immediately took and shook it.

[ Just make sure that what you said earlier that you can protect your self was true. It's a regret if I lose a potential big-time client. ]

[ Eh~? Is that so? Please don't worry about it. I a.s.sure you that I can protect myself. ]

Back at her home...

[ How was it, Carlsama? ]

...

...

[ He was definitely - ]
