I Am A Legendary BOSS

Chapter 30: Can’t Really Act Cool Anymore

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Blackleaf Elves had different surnames.

Only the Royals had the Blackleaf surname, named after the Blackleaf Forest.

Also, the surname only changed after the Blackleaf Elves moved into the forest.

Back then, when the continents had yet to break apart, this branch of the Elfin Royalty had a surname of ‘Dawn’, which was the same as the first word of the battle energy William was training.

Why the Elfin king chose to change his surname, there were many rumors...

Some said that it was related to some secrets in the Blackleaf Forest. Some even said that the Blackleaf forest possessed the sapling of the world tree...

However, the Blackleaf Elves put out information personally that the Elfin king wanted his descendants to remember the humiliation of moving away from the continent and remember that they could only live in the forest now, to remember the humiliation for not being able to appear on the continent.

As for whether they had the thoughts to rule the continent again, different people had different opinions.

Anyways, humans still didn’t dare to attack the forest that was inhabited by the Elves. Apart from fighting for territory amongst themselves, the Orcs and Devils had brought some trouble to them too.

On the other hand, under the rule of the Royals, the Blackleaf Elves rarely appeared in front of humans now. The Elfin Royal surname was just a legend to many normal people because too few people knew about them.

As for the fact that Elves stayed in rural areas, it had already become a legend.

There were three Elfin kingdoms on the Legendary continent.

At the southern Blackleaf Forest of the continent, there were Blackleaf Elves.

At the center island of the continent, the Moonlight Elves stayed in the Moonlight Forest.

At the northern Ice Forest of the continent, there were the Snow Elves.

There were three kingdoms, three Elfin Royal families and each kingdom had millions of Elves.

These pure-blooded Elves were the only Elves left on the Legendary continent. Compared to the human kingdoms and empires with a combined population of hundreds of thousands, it was nothing. That was also one of the reasons the Elves had remained hidden.

For Curry to know the surname of the Blackleaf Elfin Royalty, it meant that he had come into contact with Elves before and knew some of their secrets.

At this thought.

William smiled casually, letting Curry walk beside him before he said straightforwardly, “The things you said are nothing. I only want to know if you have the ability to buy slaves. Do you?”

“Slaves?” Curry widened his eyes, unable to stop himself from glancing at William a few times. After all, he never knew that pure-blooded Elves were interested in buying slaves as well.

That was because the Elves loved freedom the most. They also rarely restricted the freedom of the other race and had never bought slaves before.

William shrugged his shoulders at this, his tone laced with sadness. “I’m buying slaves only because I want to make them peasants again. I want to develop my territory, so I need the manpower.

“If you help me buy slaves, I’ll make them peasants straight away. I only wish for them to help me build my territory. After which, I wouldn’t care if they want to leave or stay.”

Curry immediately understood the situation and he nodded hurriedly. “Your honor is so kind. May the Gods always bless you.”

At the same time, he said confidently, “Of course, what type of slaves does your honor want?”

He gave the impression that he could buy any type of slaves William wanted.

To this, William had to believe that the merchant teams that roamed the Legendary continent had some capability. Amongst which, someone in the team might be a nobility.

After all, this was a type of training. Many nobilities didn’t want to send their children to become mercenaries or risk their lives by joining adventure teams, so they would throw their children into merchant teams. Those who were able to stay alive and return to their families years later were all capable people...

Of course, those who were thrown out were usually not the core family members or were those that the family despised.

Facing Curry, who could be nobility and knew of his identity, William didn’t mind puffing himself up to scare him, “Professionals!”

“...” Curry thought for two seconds before he replied, “Sure. How many do you want?”

William also thought for two seconds. “What level are they?”

It was very obvious.

William still wanted to continue acting.

“It depends on the age, race, gender, and occupation. However, most of them are young professionals that have just entered the beginner level...

“Of course, there aren’t any Elves or half-blooded Elves. For a race so elegant and strong like Elves, they definitely won’t be slaves. They’re meant to be nobilities.”

Curry was very experienced with this since he had done human trafficking many times. As for his explanation after, William was too lazy to listen carefully.

Did Curry really not have any Elfin slaves?

He really didn’t...

After all, he was from a small nation. The traffickers in the nation weren’t that daring to go to catch pure-blooded Elves. If not, once the Blackleaf Elves found out, it wouldn’t be as simple as revenge anymore.

They would wipe out the nation straight away!

Because the pure-blooded Elves had stayed hidden in the forest for a very long time, the humans thought that the Elves had weakened, so they all wanted to bully them.

That was why many pure-blooded Elves disappeared suddenly, having been caught by human traffickers and sold to nobilities. Amongst which, female Elfin teenagers were the poorest thing...

It was not that the Blackleaf Forest Royalty wouldn’t take revenge. Whenever something like this happened, they would definitely choose to revenge, and often, those nobilities would die terribly.

However, this sort of warning was nothing to the nobilities. There will always be nobilities who secretly order people to do such an inhuman transaction again.

Therefore tens of thousands of Elves had been tortured ruthlessly and the Blackleaf Forest Elves finally exploded.

Thirteen Legendary leveled Elves wiped out seven human nations, three human kingdoms and a human empire within three days.

That day, the casualty count went up to millions.

It was also from that day that rarely anyone dared to find trouble at the Blackleaf Forest again...

Did the humans get even then?

Very few people knew...

Six of those Legendary Elves passed away one after another. They were buried under the black tree in the Dark Night City. Their graves were covered in flowers, their heroic actions sung and praised by the Elves as their achievement... lived as long as the world would.

These sorts of things were neither righteous nor kind. This was a war between races.

To the Blackleaf Elves, the action of those thirteen Elves was heroic.

But for the humans that died innocently, they were devils.

William seemed to be recalling something and Curry kept swallowing his saliva, not daring to say another word. He really wanted to slap himself right now, as if angry at himself for saying stupid things.

Because he knew about that crazy and violent black history.

As for half-blooded Elfin slaves?

There would definitely be unlucky half-blooded Elves that were caught to be slaves.

William sighed heavily. “I want 500 warriors under the age of 25 years old.

“Manufacturing professionals, 100 blacksmiths, tailors, jewelers, engineers and architects each.

“I want both male and female non-professional slaves aged between 15 years old to 20 years old, 3000 of them!”

“The 500 warriors were originally 50 gold coins each, but since your honor is so generous, they’ll be 30 gold coins instead.

“For 500 manufacturing professionals, each of them is priced differently, but I’m alright with 20 gold coins for each of them.

“As for the 3000 normal slaves, because they’re so young, the lowest price can only be 5 gold coins each.

“The total is 40000 gold coins. If your honor really wants them, you can give me just 38000 gold coins. This is the lowest price I can promise!”

Curry was rather experienced with the slave trade. The moment William finished speaking, he had finished calculating all of the prices. He was so good at it that William’s heart couldn’t help but ache for those slaves...

The Lord raised an eyebrow. Curry didn’t explain much, but this really was the lowest price. If he pushed the price even lower, Curry would be at a loss...

As for mages?

Both of them were tactful enough to not mention any mages. If they did, it wouldn’t be buying slaves anymore, they would be buying their ‘parents'[1.The parents here refer to the mages, as mages were very important and powerful just like a parent.].

However, William didn’t say much, merely patting his shoulder. “If you bring those slaves over in seven days, you can take boxes of gold coins back.”

Although Curry didn’t receive the deposit he wanted, he glanced at William’s eyes and bowed before he said, “Pleasure working with you, your Highness.”

Hearing the address, William didn’t explain much, merely smiling before he turned and left.

Curry noted all of this.

The large stone in his heart finally fell back in place. He let out a sigh of relief. He had gambled right. This guy in front of him was definitely an Elfin prince!

Then, the issue with money...

Was it still a problem?

“Money... is a large issue.” William crossed his arms, his eyes turning dazed.
