《A Demon’s Journey》A Demon's Journey
Advertisement
Nearly a week or so later, Sargan and Yrellea reached the Vlashire City.
This was a city that focused on trade with other kingdoms. Their main trading partner was a company from the Lamhilhan Theocracy.
The rumors about Vlashire City made it seem as if an organized city. One where people were quite wealthy and focused on trade and other respectable occupations.
Sargan and Yrellea entered the city as they used some Spiritual Coins to pass the guards' inspection.
It wasn't uncommon for people with suspicious origin to seek asylum inside. This appeared to be one such case as well.
Once they entered the city, the two looked around and noticed just how organized the city was.
The city appeared to have a perfectly square shape, with each side nearly 40 miles long. The roads were cleanly cut, and the city was divided into different sectors.
In total, there were 11 sectors. Each sector had its own market with many buildings and houses except for one sector.
That was Sector 7. This sector could be considered a Pure Market Sector as there were all kinds of shops in this sector.
The market of the other sectors could never be compared to Sector 7.
However, there was another reason why Sector 7 was so famous. It had one of the largest and most famous Red Light areas within the Kingdom.
After entering Sector 7, the two split up. The two had completely different jobs.
Sargan's job was to meet people and slowly build an international network, while Yrellea had to create Misty Flower Pavillion.
Thus, Sargan went around and talked to some people who were here in the market to buy things for themselves.
He asked them various questions under the pretext that he was new to this city and planned to live his life ahead here.
Once the people heard his reasons, they entertained his questions for quite some time.

These people were somewhat proud of their city since they believed it was the best city within the Glerian Kingdom. People like Sargan, who came from afar to come and live in this city, just enhanced that fact.
Sargan then found out that the wealthy people had their residence in Sectors 1-4. The middle-class people lived in Sectors 5, 6, 8, 9.
And the poor people lived in Sectors 10, 11, and 12.
Sectors 10,11, and 12, were on the western side of Vlashire City. Most of the people who had their houses within these sectors were servants of the wealthy and middle-class people.
These two sectors were completely opposite and were near the edge of the city.
Once Sargan had gathered enough information, he walked around Sector 7 for some more time. He was looking for a blacksmith's shop.
Naturally, Sargan didn't need to look for too long since there were many blacksmith shops in this sector.
He entered each Blacksmith Shop and observed the products displayed. The weapons and the armors mainly.
Sargan made sure to remember the names of these shops and gauged their level. From what he had seen, none of them put any weapon stronger than a 3 Star Rank.
They probably only crafted weapons stronger than the 3 Star Rank for the prestigious customers.
However, this wasn't much trouble for Sargan. He could still gauge their level by observing the weapons manufactured by them.
The elegance, the power, the material, and the shape of the weapon gave a huge amount of information to Sargan.
In total, there were 27 Blacksmith Shops within Sector 7. However, only 8 of them appeared to be of Sargan's notice.
Once he noted down the shops, he went to the Sector 6 to buy a house for himself.
He met a real-estate agent and bought a house for himself in Sector 6 by spending nearly 300 Spiritual Coins.

Azaroth had given nearly 10000 Spiritual Coins to Sargan and Yrellea. This meant each one had almost 5000 Spiritual Coins.
For Sargan, a house that wouldn't grab a lot of attention was a necessity. Thus, he opted for a house in the sector where middle-class people lived.
Soon, Sargan went to take a walk in Sector 10, Sector 11, and Sector 12.
Observing the location and its people was the most important.
He asked a few questions from some people by giving them a few gold coins. These people happily answered the questions once they saw the reward.
After the end of the day, Sargan concluded 'The middle-aged people and the old people have somewhat gotten used to their current lifestyle. Only their children, who have yet to become adults, are somewhat indignant and possess a bit of ambition in them. Well, it seems I already know whom I should choose.'
However, Sargan wasn't in a hurry. He had learned from Azaroth that for every task, there was a fitting place and suitable timing. He couldn't rush with his tasks.
Thus, Sargan decided to wait for a perfect opportunity.
While Sargan was focusing on his own tasks, Yrellea had visited Sector 7's Red Light Area.
She was wearing loose clothes and a mask to conceal her beauty, or else who knows how many men would stare at her.
To build this Misty Flower Pavillion from scratch, she had to know what her competitors were doing.
And from what she observed, the brothels were for hiring prostitutes for sex. A brothel didn't make her feel threatened at all.
Instead, Yrellea focused on the other occupation that was quite famous within this red-light area. The nightclub business!
The nightclubs were to provide alcohol to everyone while the women displayed their skills on the stage. These skills ranged from singing, dancing, musical instrumental skills, and poetry skills.
This was the nightclub's work at a glance. On a deeper level, the managers and the other people would choose talented and beautiful women from the fine arts colleges and allow them to perform in their nightclubs.
Scions of wealthy individuals frequently visited a nightclub, and they would often force themselves on these beautiful women.
After forcing themselves on these beautiful women, the overseers of the nightclubs would then begin to negotiate with these women and offer them a price to serve in their nightclubs or even the brothels they owned.
Most of the women accepted the offer because they had little to no other choice.
If they declined, the overseers would spread the word about how they had spent a night at a nightclub with some men.
This wouldn't affect the life of those rich scions, but it would completely destroy the social life of these women.
Moreover, there was also a possibility that the woman would be killed to permanently silence her.
Thus, most of the women would accept the offer. Even if they knew that they would become glorified whores in the future.
This was the information Yrellea deduced after asking a few questions from the people in this red-light area.
Yrellea was somewhat confused about what she should do. Soon, she had a plan. But for that, she required Sargan's assistance as well.
But she could ask for his help later. Yrellea went to Sector 1 and met a real estate agent to buy a house. She had to buy a house in this sector to show off her wealth.
The house she bought cost her nearly 2000 Spiritual Coins.

Welcome to the world of Fantasiaia, a world full of magic, epic monsters, heroic battles and more! It's the new, cutting edge VRMMORPG world what everyone has dreamed about! And now welcome Markus Fickus, your average young man in our average and boring world! He was just an ordinary man, until one day, something changed his whole life. As he ate his breakfast on that fateful morning, little did he know that he would choke on his coffee and die—just to be reincarnated in the world of Fantasiaia! "Wait, what?" Mark said, looking up from his bowl of cereal. He didn't follow the script properly, and forgot to prepare his coffee. "I thought Fantasiaia was a VRMMO," Mark muttered as he made his way to his coffee machine. "How can someone reincarnate into a game?" Of course, what Mark didn't know was that logic and reason didn't matter. It was magic! Besides, everyone loves virtual reality stories and reincarnation novels. So why not have both? Mark shook his head sadly, but prepared his coffee in silence. When he finished, he looked up at the sky—and saw only the dull white ceiling of his apartment. He felt utterly cheated that the last thing he would see in this world was the peeling paint on the wall. "They are not paying me enough for this," Mark grumbled, then drank up his coffee. And then he died. PS: I found the cover picture on THE INTERNET. By no means will I tell you the artist's name or give any credit to them, but I let you know that the image is not mine.
