Chapter 41: Requitas, the Lawless Zone (1)
Requitas, the Lawless Zone.
A city now more famous by its nickname, “the Lawless Zone,” than its original name.
In the slums of Requitas, rumors spread that you could kill someone for a mere handful of bread.
In the alleys reeking of musty smells, corpses lay around like stones, and people regarded them with indifference.
To them, a corpse was no different from the trash scattered on the streets. In fact, they didn’t see themselves as any different either.
More than half of the city was an evil den of crime.
Criminals who couldn’t live in ordinary places. Mercenaries who broke contracts, deserters who feared the battlefield, and the like flowed into this societal sewage dump.
Even the Emperor, who fancied himself the father of the Empire, had lost interest in this land, leaving it steeped in the stench of alcohol.
