Chapter 11: The Tin Knight and The City of Pleasure (5)
The city of pleasure, Albert, living up to its name, was famous for being a hub of entertainment.
To the east were various accommodations and restaurants selling delicious food.
To the west was a red-light district that tempted travelers and led them into indulgence and pleasure.
To the south were various shops and the slave market that stimulated the desire for purchase.
To the north were gambling halls where people bet money or something other than money for a big score.
However, this couldn’t be called the “core” of Albert.
While all of these were important facilities that made up the backbone of the city, the most important and irreplaceable facility laid elsewhere.
It was the castle located in the center of the city where the lord of this city resided.
Considering that Albert City itself was surrounded by towering walls, the additional castle at its heart could be seen as an odd structure.
No, it was not just odd but even threatening.
Surrounding the caste were various military facilities, including barracks for the guards.
