God Is A Game Designer - 111 C110 Caged Insanity

The hall grew silent as the nearby people stopped to look towards the man who requested the meeting with the Seer. The people were listening to the man with concern and interest as few people could afford to and fewer wanted to visit.

“Well. Today is an exciting day. You are my first customer to visit the Seer since the last gentleman who came.”

Looking at the man as he continued speaking. Azo finally let out a sigh to cut him off.

“I’m the last gentleman I guess. Azo is my name.”

The audience around them seemed to pick up in popularity as more eyes became drawn to the name. It appeared that Azo had quite the following in the underground section. Few people who looked at him with devious intention stopped quickly before turning back to previous topics of conversation.

“My apologies sir. I will lead you right away. I ask for forgiveness.”

Leading him past all the eyes as they began to ascend up to the second floor, another set of guards flanking the stairs as the second floor several magnitudes more extensive than the first floor.

Standing row by row, section by section as the cages of many different creatures resided. Every type of animal locked up in the cages as simple hunting beasts all the way too sentient humans, elves and dwarfs lined the cages.

“Buy a hunting bird. Excellent price and reliable.”

One man shouted trying to get the people’s attention.

“Two desert trolls for the price of one. Guaranteed to cause carnage. No refunds!”

Another person bellowed even louder as the trolls behind him tried to reach forward, attempting to grab anything that got to close. It was clear the slaver had starved them on purpose for this reason alone.

Moving forward past the cages as the many different people continued trying to push the slaves onto him. This reason alone was why he disliked this floor. To get anywhere in the black market one had to pass through all the other stalls which forced products down peoples throats.

It was about to get worse as he passed the Intelligent Slaves section. All the races with any intelligence could easily get bought here in this section. Everyone in this section a slave who had gotten sold from slavers, debt or something worse.

“Ahh! Azo it’s so good for you to come back to us. It was a shame when I heard the church had exiled you. Those bastards am I right?”

The shiver descended his spine as Azo turned to look at a small chubby human with dark red hair and three chins under each other as they fought for space with each other. His eyes were full of the sparkle that was similar to the glint of a golden coin.

“Hello, Mathiu. How can I help you today?”

The man approaching Azo began to rub his sweat encrusted hands together as his tongue pressed his upper lips.

“Well, I know you are not a fan of slaves even though I have a few magical capable slaves.”

The man quickly turned the conversation around to the point as he watched Azo’s mood darken to a bitter end.

“I’ve got one today that inevitably you will be interested in due to the bloodline.”

Stopping for the briefest of seconds as Azo turned to the man. His eyes were looking at him as he bit into his lip.

“What Bloodline?”

With just those words Mathiu knew he had stuck gold, turning as he began to march down his own section to the private area, knowing the magical man was following behind.

After arriving at the back, the small round man opened a door with some difficulty as the keys slipped through his fingers before eventually entering the room with Azo coming in and leaving the guide outside.

“This is my best find yet. She is so rare that I bet even you won’t say no!”

The small man was moving over to the only cage in the centre as his hands grabbed the cloth covering the cage as he began to pull away from the mass, his eager eyes filled with greed showing that this was indeed the best thing he had ever caught.

The cloth tumbling to the floor as a single being sat inside the cage with the light slowly filtering in to show the room what the man had found. Azo’s eyes were going wide in fear and shock as the man laughed in victory.

“The rarest creature is known to humankind as the V’Quota!”

Inside the cage sitting with chains attached to each body part. Magical runes active to stop any magic casting at all with many reinforced bars and parts to make sure security was maintaned.

The woman sitting inside seemed to calm as two deep blue eyes stared back at him. She stood roughly at 5’11 with no hair at all. The creature’s body made entirely out of purple, blue and green crystals. While it looked similar to a human, it was clear this was nothing close to flesh and blood.

The being itself seemed to shift slightly as the crystal structure moved again, both eyes staring directly at Azo as they were the only part that looked human. A voice was echoing out into the room, and thier minds as fear spread through him.

“I can sense you the child of dragon.”

Taking a few steps back as the dealer seemed confused at the creature talking for once. Not expecting such a reaction from such a docile creature before as it merely willed itself to be captured.

“You are insane!”

Azo turned his head to the dealer as his words became filled with venom. Knowing the truth insanity with the race locked inside the cage.

“If you wish not to purchase you may leave. I do not want to entertain such rude remarks. I’ll sell it to another buyer.”

Turning around quickly and exiting, Azo rushed out of the area as he needed to speak to the Seer and get his information soon before continuing. A voice was creeping into the back of his mind as the woman talked to him one last time.

“They are coming for me. Then they will come for you. Dragon Child.”
