Chapter 235: The Manor of Sin
readx;? Viscount Kapwa, perhaps no one has heard of this ~щww~~lā In fact, his reputation as a nobleman, or even as the lord of a city, is very low, and even the people in his realm may not be able to accurately call his full name. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but this is also helpless, who let his territory is called the "adventurer's fortress" [Visbelia].
Far from the imperial capital, this eastern town is also famous within the Empire, after all, it is the home base of the Adventurers' Guild. It is a place where the adventurers' guild help each other, make rules, and develop completely freely out of the control of the empire and the nobility.
If we look at this question of 'autonomy' from the perspective of imperial law, it is undoubtedly an act of rebellion against the rule of the royal power, but the nobles of the royal power acquiesce in the governance of the Adventurers' Guild.
The reason is also very simple, because the 'advantages' outweigh the 'disadvantages'.
First of all, although the Adventurers' Guild has a combat power that should not be underestimated, they are not an army, at best they are an organization similar to civilian bodyguards. Unlike mercenaries, they do not actively engage in wars between people, nor do they have any interest in political power, and even if they are left alone, they are unlikely to threaten the rule of the royal power.
Secondly, adventurers are of great significance to the security management within the empire. In recent years, the proliferation and frequent occurrence of Warcraft have made the once safe wild streets dangerous, and the existence of adventurers has largely curbed the harm caused by Warcraft.
Thirdly, the Adventurers' Guild and the Empire's major chambers of commerce and mage's guilds are inextricably linked. The Chamber of Commerce buys valuable materials from the Adventurers' Guild, the Mage obtains the Magic Core, and both parties actively provide the adventurers with the necessary personnel, equipment, and weapons. Even the fees and bounties for the commissions and bounties of the guild are sponsored by the chamber of commerce. If they attack the Adventurers' Guild for no reason, the Monarchy will open both the Chamber of Commerce and the Wizards' Guild, which no one wants to see.
In the end, the city of Visbelia, before it became a fortress for adventurers, was nothing more than a poor wasteland. It's no wonder that whoever let there be one of the continent's demon realms nearby, the [Kariru Basin]. For the pampered aristocracy of the imperial capital, no one wants to govern this barren land, so it is not a pity to give autonomy to adventurers.
However, even if it is a deserted city, it is still within the territory of the empire, and of course it is nominally under the rule of the king, so it is natural for the nobles of the empire to assume the position of lord. But who would want to come to such a place?
Viscount Kapwa is twenty-two years old this year, and he is the heir of a powerful nobleman in the imperial capital, but because of his many brothers, his inheritance is almost hopeless, and he has no learning skills, so he has naturally become a drag oil bottle in the eyes of the clan. No one treats him, no one needs him, he lives in a family of superior nobles, receives the education of the so-called noble class, and only has a senseless self-esteem that is constantly expanding, but he has to endure the ridicule of grievances among his fellow clansmen.
And his end is to be moved to this deserted city to become a lord.
At first, Kapuwa was very excited, for him, even if it was a small piece of land, he finally had his own territory. All he was thinking about was how to do evil in this city, as the so-called Emperor Tiangao was far away, and as the lord of a city, he certainly enjoyed all the authority in the city.
These include the right to tax, the right to eat, the right to pleasure, and even the right to the first night of the city girl. Especially the last one, for Kapwa, who has never had any female popularity in the aristocratic circle, and was afraid to set foot in nightclubs even when he was in the imperial capital, this was enough to make him so excited that he couldn't sleep.
However, after the actual arrival, the beautiful illusions were easily shattered. Not to mention the first night power, even if he wanted to play the lord's majesty and eat an overlord meal in the tavern, he was immediately beaten up by the adventurer guests who were also present. If it was in the imperial capital, if the commoners beat the nobles, it would undoubtedly be a felony to be hanged. But this place, it doesn't work. The family members and guards brought by Viscount Capwa from the imperial capital were no match for these battle-hardened adventurers.
Of course, the city is not a lawless zone where the fists speak, and the Adventurers' Guild has its own strict system of regulations, ostensibly based on imperial law, but not too protective of the nobility. For adventurers who beat people, there will naturally be a relevant amount of compensation, but before that, the lord will be questioned for eating the overlord's meal. Compared to the aristocracy, it is like 'eating people' in the head of the commoners.
The content of the banquet was naturally known only to a few important families of the royal power, and it could be regarded as a unique entertainment belonging to their faction. Therefore, the management and feeding of the use of 'livestock' is a nerve-wracking place for everyone.
And it was from his own family that Viscount Capwa took over this task. For other people's troubles, but for him, this is simply a chance to ask for. This meant that he had access to a large bunch of untrained orc slaves, all of whom were toys to play with until they were sent to the table.
In fact, in the past two years, he has been tirelessly finding new tricks every day to constantly abuse and play with these meat animals, even if they are dead or maimed, he can always find an excuse to excuse them, such as infectious diseases or something. You know, if in the agricultural and livestock world, once livestock are infected with infectious diseases, large-scale humane treatment and incineration is the right thing to do.
After a lot of attempts, until recently, the frenzied young man came up with a new trick - predatory show.
Use the captured monsters to watch them hunt for meat. See how the orc children struggled, screamed, tried to escape, and finally turned to shreds in despair. The venue for such a brutal performance is a crude manor house located on the border of the [Kariru Basin].
It was guarded by hired mercenaries in shifts throughout the day, making it difficult for even adventurers to approach.
