Star Maple King City, the slums here have been emptied, replaced by a brand new urban area, called the Forge District.

It's always in full swing and clanging.

The most common place here is the blacksmith's workshop, which can cast all kinds of weapon accessories, armor, refine iron ore, forge fine iron, and produce all kinds of pots, railings, hoes, sickles, and other things that require iron.

There is no rest in this place, many craftsmen and apprentices work day and night, so they emit a lot of smoke, and there is not even a need for lights around, because the darkness is illuminated by the furnace, and the products cast are not of a very good level, and very few people say that their products are well-made, but they are all strong and durable, and they are very apparitioned by the middle and lower classes of the whole city, because these people need something that can be used for a long time and does not need to be repaired or replaced, not elaborate works of art, which are the preserve of the nobility.

Because of this foundry, this section is full of smoke, waste water, and the foul-smelling industrial exhaust fumes make people's throats dry and their eyes watery and tearful.

The neighborhood around the foundry seems to be a chaotic web woven by all kinds of echoes and working-class taverns, and the alleys are interspersed everywhere, and next to the neat and orderly neighborhood of Star Maple King City is a secret chaotic foundry district! The streets are twisted and twisted, and the hidden dwellings are innumerable, and because there is no municipal plan, there is a complex network of passages, secret rooms, rooms and even streets.

But when it comes to chaos, this place is actually orderly and not chaotic at all, because an imperial knight named Livia, she leads an organization called the Federation, and manages the entire area in a very orderly manner.

Such an order was necessary, especially among artisans in the fiercely contested trades, and if the management was chaotic, there would undoubtedly be bloodshed.

For example, a swordsmith only needs to cast a sword, and a hoe craftsman only needs to make a hoe, but if a swordsmith suddenly wants to cast a hoe one day, it may steal the business of the original hoe maker. This will become the fuse of strife, so that the hoe craftsman has to face the end of less income, unable to live, so bloodshed will break out.

Therefore, it is necessary to work out what kind of work each craftsman should be responsible for and to what extent it should be responsible through a certain organization, so as to reduce disputes and confusion.

Awlmakers, sickles, nailers, farriers, bellsmiths, chainmen, metalworkers, file blacksmiths, etc., are distinct and cannot be overstepped in the slightest.

This is called order.

At least to the people at the town hall in Star Maple King City.

"Oh, Lord Livia, I'm relieved to see that this is still so peaceful, because of you, the price of iron in the entire royal city has dropped a lot! The great men were satisfied, and by the way, even in this kind of place, the angels of God were still willing to patronize the glory here, and soon two priests and a knight would come here to build a church, and the adults would ask for help in making a good piece of land out of it. An official in a formal suit, holding a cane, followed by four or five small servants stood at the door of the forging area, touching his mustache, Shi Shiran said to Livia.

Livia stood up straight, with an awe-inspiring temperament, dressed in men's clothes, her hair neatly combed, and a little puzzled: "Will a Templar come?" It's a little strange, I'm in a hurry and need a knight here? ”

The priest and the Templars are two of the most iconic images of the Church, and according to the Church, they are both singers of God, but the priest praises God in the quiet Church, while the Knights praise God in a battlefield of blood splattered and roaring.

As with the scenes represented by these two figures, a priest is needed for a peaceful territory, and a knight is needed for a dangerous territory.

Livia didn't think she needed a knight here, which would be inconvenient in all respects.

The business of Star Maple King City is already an important financial pillar of the workshop, after all, it is the capital of Star Maple Kingdom, and Livia needs to develop the Federation under the nose of a level 9 warrior in Star Spinning's pillar of the town, just a priest, if there are knights...... It's not easy.

"No way...... After all, my lord, you made too much trouble last time, and the church is not too relieved. The official said helplessly.

Just over a month ago, a big event happened in Star Maple King City.

said that it was a big thing, but in fact, the cause was that the official looked ordinary, and it was the little things at the bottom, which were originally because of an old bustard, the owner of a brothel.

As an old bustard, it is very normal and common to lend usury to the "staff" below, and there is always a time when the prostitutes can't turn over, even if they don't, the bustards will definitely deduct money, and then fine, or lure them to smoke hemp powder, hallucinogenic drugs and the like, anyway, it is to force them to lack money, at this time, they need to borrow money, borrow money, and the interest is rolling, it must not be finished, it is not finished, don't think about leaving in this life.

There are so many such things that even the sheriff doesn't bother to take care of them, anyway, the bustards have their own dividends for them, and what kind of storm can the prostitutes set off?

This time, too, this kind of thing that usually seems ordinary, as usual, a prostitute has flower willow disease, covered with sores, and her lower body is ulcerated, begging the bustard to let her take a few days off, but the bustard refuses, she closes the door, and the guests roll or ignore when they come, just don't do business.

So the boss thought of a way, and said to her, as long as you burn the scar with a soldering iron, you can cure the willow, the prostitute believed it and endured the pain to do it, and all of a sudden, the meat stinks, the pus and blood burn dry, the skin bursts open, and the whole person faints directly to the ground, and after waking up, he can't afford to be sick, and he can no longer pick up customers.

At this point, the bustard was able to justifiably drive her away and let her room live in a new prostitute, and she was torn belly by the bustard with a knife, saying that she wanted to "be buried in peace." In fact, he was buried alive before he could breathe.

Usually this kind of thing is nothing, this kind of thing happens every day, everyone is used to it, after all, if you want to be a brothel owner, there must be at least two ways.

Under one pass, you have to be familiar with the ninth-rate hooligans, traffickers and bandits, and you can get the goods, and there are new people joining the industry every time.

One way, that is, there must be a backstage boss, who can level the magistrate, and even directly contact the nobles, most of the income of the brothel owners is provided to them, and the money is given, and when this kind of thing happens on the spot, all you need to say hello is.

When the brothel owner went to greet him as usual, the knight named Livia was next to her, and she learned about it.

Thereupon...... Overnight, the entire red-light district, all the brothel owners, not a single one was left, and all of them died violently.

Now the Star Spinning King City has turned upside down, the nobles have lost a way to make money, and many people have died, so they are furious, and want to make this new imperial nobleman give an explanation and compensate for the loss.

Everyone understands that this knight named Livia is familiar with Sidwald, the daughter of the Duke of the Empire, and Sid was with each other when he was here, and the entire newly built workshop area over there is the territory of the other party, and he is worth a lot of money.

Although this time it is a bad financial road, but in the final analysis, it is not a big loss, blackmail her, and then find someone to rebuild it, it is not much trouble, the nobles believe that Livia must also understand this, just because she is a woman, she can't accept this kind of thing, and she is angry for a while.

But who knows, Livia doesn't pay attention to it at all, and she doesn't care about any compensation, she has no fear.

Moreover, this is only the first wave, after she came into contact with the things here, she went to the red light district again, and met a human girl named Lisi, her father was a tenant farmer, and her mother washed clothes for others, but there was not enough food to eat, and she couldn't pay the rent on the field, and the landlord came to collect the debt, and she couldn't pay it back, so she sold her to the landlord, and the poor farmer used a real doll to exchange for five silver coins, but the rich man could sell more than ten dolls with a doll.

The landlord transferred her and a dozen other girls to the royal city and sold them to the brothel owner, and a year later, her belly was bigger, and she was beaten by the old bustard, and then continued to pick up customers, but she had just had a fetus, and her body was weak, how could she have a way to receive customers?

So the bustard forced her and the others to smoke sesame powder, refresh and relieve the pain, and then continue to do it.

The other sisters all smoked hemp powder and couldn't get rid of it, only she was bold and stubborn, she didn't suck it alive or dead, and was punished for kneeling and breaking glass.

The old bustard left angrily, and let her kneel until she was willing, because she was still young, healthy, and not sick, and she had at least two or three years to live, where could she be easily killed?

When the bustard was gone, she got up and ran away with her bloody knees, of course, but her loud shouts attracted Sid, who killed all the brothel guards before he learned that there was a new bustard.

Livia was furious at the time, this time, the red light district was full of blood, not only the old bustard died cleanly, but also this kind of trafficker kidnappers, hooligans, hundreds of people, corpses all over the field.

This is her character, she is much more violent than Lu En, and she did not hesitate to stab the usurper to death in the first place.

The nobles were also furious, and they all took out their guards, wanting to make Livia pay something.

But after being punched by Livia, all of them were killed, and in the end, he directly exploded the protective array of the royal city, showing the horror of being a level 8 combat professional, and the matter was completely made bigger.

In the end, the pillar of the Star Maple Kingdom, a level 9, stepped forward to stop the dispute, but Livia took out her seal as an imperial officer and forced the other party back.

No one dared to offend an Imperial officer of no lower rank, unless Xing Feng wanted to be destroyed.

For the time being, the entire red light district was outlawed, and those prostitutes were also co-opted by Livia, of course, this can't be forever, they will definitely move their positions after a while, but that's after that.

In the first month of incorporation, many of these prostitutes died, most of them were incurable, some were already addicted to hemp powder, muddy, and some were terminally ill and the medicine was ineffective.

In fact, it used to be the same, after all, prostitution is a profession that changes quickly, and it is very difficult to keep all young women, but no one cares if they die before, and only after Livia took over, did she find out how terrible the mortality rate of such a group of women is, and in less than a month, nearly a third died.

The deceased is basically ...... No, not basic, all of them were contagious, and Livia had to burn them and all their clothes and bury the ashes.

Say it's all the clothes, but it's actually ...... Some people have no clothes at all, after all, the lowest prostitute may not be able to get out of that little black room for a month, despite the musty smell and the smell of shoddy powder.

They're consumables.

The rest are those who have just entered the industry, are still training, or ...... Noisy.

It's very noisy, this batch only accounts for about 5% of the total number of people, and there are only a dozen or twenty people in total, but they are pampered......

That's right, they're Oiran.

The clothing and cosmetics used by these people are extremely high-end, and they usually travel with a special car to pick them up, and the celebrities are all dumped, which can be regarded as a majestic style, generally trained from a young age, and there is no resistance to selling oneself, after two years of training, generally only one dignitary will be served at the same time, and if you want to become a guest of the curtain, the guests also need a complete set of bids, competition, and finally after success, the etiquette when entering the curtain is like marrying a bride.

To tell the truth, "oppression" is not the characteristic of these oirans, compared to the lower class of prostitutes, who are almost consumables, they are characterized by "parasitism", they are accustomed to live an almost unearned life, like a noble lady, who has been fooling and degrading for a long time, if you say anything to them about liberation, not only can they not sympathize, but even be ridiculed by them, they think that their present life is very free, and they do not feel any oppression.

So when they took these oirans together, they cried and shouted, and hanged themselves, and ugliness abounded, and even some of them stripped naked, and rolled all over the ground in front of Livia, very stubborn, and noisy, and then they gathered them together, and there were those who set up ladders to climb over the wall, and those who dug holes in the ground to get out of the wall, and even more so those who sought death and life, and they not only looked down on the low-class prostitutes who ate and lived together, but also were not accustomed to eating coarse tea and light meals, and even asked Livia to provide them with hemp powder to "hi".

In the end, Livia didn't get tired of it, she really wanted to kill them all to scum, once and for all, and save only those who were willing to be saved.

But she thinks about it...... My father said that this kind of talent is the most pitiful, they are in the mud and don't know it, but they are comfortable when they enter death, so as long as they can be saved, they still have to pull a hand, which suppresses the killing intent.

Thinking of this, Livia rubbed her eyes tiredly: "I understand, I will not object to the entry of the church knights, and I will arrange the place." ”

"Thank you for your cooperation." The bureaucrat bowed slightly and left.
