Chapter 75: Upper and Lower, Two Worlds
Three days later, Albert's House was rebuilt again. Mo Cheng found a high place to release his perception to make sure that no one would suddenly come and chop down the newly built building.
"Sister Loni, maybe we need to think about how to help more people."
Mo Cheng did not run into the house to visit like the children. He stood in the open space and began to discuss his ideas with Sister Loni, "There should be people in other places, in the slums who need help, right?"
"There are indeed many people who need help, but..." Sister Loni seemed a little hesitant, "Even for us, there are places where the light cannot reach."
Mo Cheng knew what Sister Loni was referring to. If the civilian area was a place where one could survive as long as they found a way, then there would always be some way out.
Then the sinking areas, or slums, really do not even have the power to choose. Men and women are the same. They are either recruited into gangs or become reserve members of brothels. The only difference is probably the difference between voluntary and forced.
The sinking area is the gang’s private territory, and even the law enforcement team is reluctant to go to that place, which is considered the dirtiest place in Fairhaven.
According to Mo Cheng's own information, it should be said that he learned from his limited memory of the Principality of Andair that the situation in the sinking area was closely related to the nobles of the Principality of Andair.
At present, the role of the sinking area for Fairhaven is to accommodate low-quality population and become a place for the [black market] to avoid the eyes and ears of official forces such as the Law Enforcement Corps and the Knights.
Yes, the black market, which claims that nothing can be traced and the origins of things will not be questioned, and where anything can be bought, is in the sinking area.
In addition to this, the sinking area also involves something that the mages condone – human trafficking.
There is no shortage of mages' experiments that require human bodies to be performed. Although there are mages who are dissatisfied with human experiments, there are also mages who give up their humanity in pursuit of endless knowledge.
In the sinking area, a thin man with intact limbs and facial features only needs five golden griffins. Whether he is strong, whether he is a child, and whether he can accurately express his feelings in words are all extra items.
But as we all know, mages are always generous with the materials they need for their experiments.
Not only men, but also women's prices are determined by whether they are beautiful, whether they have scars on their bodies, etc. They can be sold to brothels, sold to wealthy businessmen with special hobbies, or even more cruel and disgusting things...
People in the sinking area have become a kind of object, an object that can be bought with money.
The only way for people in the sinking areas to avoid becoming materials is to join gangs and be exploited by gangs. They voluntarily sign certificates for human experiments and body donations, and the money from selling themselves will never reach their families.
For the residents of the sinking area, their life is like hell, like a pool of stagnant water. Other areas, even the nearest civilian areas, are like heaven to them.
The existence of the sinking area is the cancer of Fairhaven, and the existence of this cancer is the result of the common needs of three different forces and social classes: nobles, mages, and gangs, which artificially created a hell on earth.
Queen Aundair had tried several times to clear the sinking area, but faced with the collective opposition of the nobles and mages, the queen's ideas were just ideas.
"Tsk, you don't allow me to do this, and you oppose that . No wonder the queen wants to centralize power. Anyone with a strong desire for power cannot tolerate a situation where even their desire to clean up the capital is opposed."
Mo Cheng muttered something inaudible to anyone, nodded, and did not continue to force the sinking area. "I understand. I will not do anything beyond my ability. Please be careful. After all, you are the hope of these children."
In Albert's House, if Mo Cheng is the factory owner who has the final say and everyone must obey his orders, then Loni is the pillar of hope in this small home. Before Mo Cheng came, it was this weak-spoken nun who had always been the strong supporter of this [home].
She is the hope of those children and the elderly.
Mo Cheng left Albert's House. The sinking area was related to the nobles. He also suspected that the fugitives might be hiding in the sinking area, so it was necessary to investigate.
However, it is not appropriate for me to come forward to investigate the sinking area. If I let Sister Lonnie go, it would not be called an investigation, it would be a live recording of the Nun's Fall.
It is not suitable for strangers to enter the sinking area to investigate, but there are people who can.
Coincidentally, these people would never refuse Mo Cheng's request.
At the agreed secret meeting place, Guraid and his companions had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Mo Cheng and his companions, they performed an awkward etiquette, "Master, the Fang of the Sand Lizard has disappeared. We have suffered three casualties."
"From now on, you don't have to salute, and you don't have to call me master. Call me priest." Boring etiquette is useless. Maybe in the [Foreign Land] there will be hardcore enthusiasts who specialize in practicing various etiquette, but for Mo Cheng, who is a SKIP combat-oriented person, making those things is a waste of time.
These people did not need to use etiquette to express their respect, because when they gave their lives to Mo Cheng, they had already shown the greatest respect.
Even though they were a little reluctant at the time.
"Three members?" Mo Cheng was not surprised that there were casualties in the attack on Sand Lizard Fang, nor did he feel any pity, but he still had to do what he had to do. "We will take good care of the families of those three members, and the pension will be paid in three installments. I will take care of the elderly and raise the children until they reach adulthood and send them to school."
Even slaves need benefits to stimulate their subjective initiative.
"Which two performed best in this battle?"
Seeing two people coming forward, Mo Cheng shot out a fire element mixed with holy light. These people were weak and could not withstand such drastic strengthening.
Ignoring the two people who were like red-hot shrimps, Mo Cheng asked Gurad, "I want to investigate the sinking area. Do you have any solution?"
Gulard immediately realized that the so-called "investigation" would definitely not let Mo Cheng, a stranger, investigate on his own, but let him go to the sinking area.
"We are not qualified to go. If gang members want to enter the sinking area, they need a qualified leader or become the boss of a certain area."
"Who is the boss of the surrounding area?"
"In the Brinton district, Mad Dog - Steel Jaw, owns a brothel and has many subordinates. He is also very strong and has mastered the use of the Heart Light Body."
Seeing Mo Cheng looking at him, Gurad quickly added, "We can't beat him, no matter in terms of strength or power."
"Then you are really trash."
