One week later.
On this day, the regular audience and the attendants of n.o.ble scions all visited the Arena one by one only for it to be closed.
There is no sign of people and not even the gate guards are present. It has been like this for the past two days.
The fights for the Arena are over on that day and Rana stopped the fights and events further. The Arena will be closed, permanently.
Even though they could operate the Arena further and the income is pretty decent, at the end of the day the Arena is still the Golden Blaze family"s property and it would be quite problematic for them to take over the control and make it independent.
So, it would be better to discard it completely and get away with it.
On this day, Rana visited the other n.o.ble scions discreetly and gave them an invitation.
This is the invitation-only for the scions of their generation and no other people are allowed.
Today is the auction day.
Sam"s plan worked perfectly, with the slight relief of the poison due to the consumption of the meat, the fighters are convinced, but most of them wanted to be auctioned off. Only a few of them are staying with them
So, today that auction is happening.
Yodha, who stayed out of the city for the past week is also coming back to the city. He went outside of the city because he wanted to find the land and make arrangements.
Yodha has special privileges which made it easy for him to acquire land. But the land is not inside the city. It is completely outside the city premises.
As for safety? Sam learned that apart from the hunting grounds there are no beasts around in this area and the place Sam arrived when he came to this realm are also hunting grounds. The city gate he saw was also a rear city gate, not the main one.
Even his hunt was done in a small part of these hunting grounds.
This is something unexpected. Apparently, the hunting grounds are far larger than the city.
Anyway, the safety of their factory will be guaranteed as Yodha is going to be a partner, he is also in charge of safety and he does have some personal guards apart from the military guards that he could a.s.sign.
As for Sam, he is in charge of providing the blueprints of the grenades and the machines required for production.
Even this doesn"t have much improvement in the machinery and production, they also prioritize the individual artisans that could make some great weapons for individual prowess.
The most they have are some pressing machines used for making basic armors for the lowest-ranked soldiers that are given for free when they joined the army.
Except for that, there are no other machines.
Sam started making the hand press, and other things for the production lines. Since, he has the production unit in his divine dimension, making and a.s.sembling these machines is faster than ever. Apart from that, he also needed some inscription masters that can make the inscriptions that are needed and the workers to carve out the s.p.a.ce jade.
He found out that s.p.a.ce Jade is actually quite easy to acquire in this nation.
As for the methane and the decaying has, there is no way he would set a plant here, this early. For now, he has these gas plants in his divine dimension and he would only supply the gas.
Only after making sure that he can trust the other two would be, he set up the methane gas plant and the decaying flame gas plant here.
There is only one place with these gas plants and that is the factory zone of Sam"s city.
In this past week, Rana made rounds all over the city, to hire an architect for the construction of the factory. Sam gave the blueprints for this.
In fact, Sam"s plans are the core of the whole business, so he has to invest the least amount of money into it. Meanwhile, Yodha and Rana had to invest a lot more than him and they still had to take care of security and the management respectively.
Rana"s job of finding an architect would prove to be difficult if it was normal time, but it has become easy when the architect read the letter that Yodha wrote.
Due to Yodha"s special ident.i.ty, his authority and name have the same effect as that of an imperial prince. Even some of the imperial offspring don"t have the same level as him. Except for the crown prince, the rest of the princes and princesses doesn"t have that much sway than him. Perks of having a powerful father.
After handling the job to the architect, their next step should be recruiting the people for the production workers.
But that can wait. The factory would take at least a month to be built completely.
There is a consummate realm Architect doing the bidding, but that doesn"t mean it would be finished that easily.
That evening the n.o.ble scions are all arrived at the Arena as discreetly as possible.
They didn"t even bring too many guards. Rana is waiting on the stage for them.
After exchanging some greetings, they started the auction. The Casual fighters are all auctioned in groups of five. The ranked fighters are ranked separately.
When it was Sam"s turn, the fight is somewhat intense. Everyone wanted him and there is another lock in this, that is Arman and Sam are auctioned off as a duo and they have to buy two of them.
For some reason, they didn"t seem to mind and kept on increasing the price as if they don"t have anything but money.
From the looks of it, they seemed to have gained the approval of their family members to buy him off, but what they don"t know is that the auction is rigged.
n.o.body knows that Sam is not just enslaved fighter, rather he is the business partner of the two n.o.ble scions. Anyway, since Yodha is also their partner, he would be buying him off without a single penny but just mere words and take him away to the army.
This is planned to put on a show to the rest of the city and even the n.o.ble families. No one should know that Sam is a business partner with two n.o.ble Nagas.
It wouldn"t be good for any one of them.
After the auction was over, Sam and Arman are taken away by Yodha while the rest of the fighters are also taken away by the other scions. Before leaving, Vasuki made her way to Yodha and asked.
"Yodha, how about you lend this guy to me for a few days? I promise I will send him back intact."
Yodha looked at her and then at Sam. He is not against it, as long as there is no marriage or relationship and impregnation is involved s.e.x is an extremely normal thing for all the Naga race.
Their l.u.s.t is just taken as a simple emotion like pain and happiness, they would show it like it was nothing.
Yodha looked at Sam if he was interested, he even whispered something in his ear, which made Sam stunned.
Vasuki seemed to have understood what Yodha said and she closed her eyes and started circulating her spiritual energy, she turned into a human woman with a pink flash. Sam was stunned.
What Yodha said, is that she can turn into a human form and there would be no different from having s.e.x with a human.
This is something he didn"t expect. He does know that other races have ways to turn themselves into human forms after certain cultivation is reached, but he didn"t expect that the Naga race can do it this early.
It is even when they are in the nascent stage.
There is also something else Yodha said in his ears that made his mind go blank. The greatest pleasure of Nagas" s.e.xual intercourse is apparently not when they are in their original forms or humanoid form, rather it is in their human form.
He didn"t expect this at all, but that doesn"t mean he would accept it, he directly rejected her proposal.
He is not that easy to obtain even if it was just physical.
Yodha shrugged his shoulders at her and the three of them left, Vasuki pouted as if she was a little girl being wronged, Sam shuddered at this display.
After they started walking, he couldn"t help but wonder about these Nagas" special shapeshifting abilities.
These people have three forms which they can transform at will. One is their true Naga form that has no legs, they would only have a serpent tail and their stature would be big and bulky, the second form is the humanoid form, which is the form they would spend most of the time.
This wouldn"t take too much of their energy and there are many things they can do comfortably in this form, the last one is the human form.
They wouldn"t have any scales or any other traces of them being nagas, they could easily be pa.s.sed off as humans, if not for their unique aura.
