Chapter 948
It would be difficult to deal with matters immediately
“If only there was something that could be done about the slums…”
“I understand that you can only hire so many people at once… But surely there are other things that could be done?”
“There are forceful methods, I suppose. But there would be objections. I think it would be difficult to do in Ractos.”
“People come and go all of the time… Many pass through on their way to the royal capital. So even if everyone was removed from the slums now, it would just fill up again over time…”
“The fenrir forest to the south is very big, and connects to other territories. It is the same with the forest around the northern mountain. People go around them and through Ractos from other territories.”
“I see…”
We continued to talk while heading towards the west gate. According to Sebastian, most of the people living in the slums were from other towns and villages. Though, a few were also criminals who were on the run.
Also, there were orphans like Liza. As many could not afford to take care of their children.
The orphanage could only take in so many of them, and they were full at the moment.
