Chapter 129: Nine Tailed Fox
Jessie and Irena chose to stay in the inn while Bepe led Albert to the brothel. Shella didn't seem to be leaving him either, since she just wanted to protect him.
As soon as they reached the red light district, he realized that this place was more lustful than Xander Town.
He had experienced Borsoli Town's unending lust, so continuously finding a hundred Horny Targets at a time was normal for him. He simply ignored it and headed to the brothel.
Surprisingly, the brothel looked similar to the one in Xander Town. According to Bepe, it was necessary to make others recognize the place easier.
Albert thought no more and entered the brothel.
"Hello." The receptionist greeted them with a sweet smile.
Bepe simply came to the counter and stated with a calm tone. "Hello, may I trouble Miss to inform the manager that Sir Albert has come to Seika Town and would like to meet her? I believe she'll understand this message."
Although the succubus felt a bit hesitant about relaying this message, considering their manager was somewhat respected in this town, better safe than sorry.
She politely accepted the request and came to the manager, asking for her presence. The latter immediately came out to greet Albert as she had been informed by her queen.
To Albert's surprise, he never expected to meet a race other than the succubus to be the brothel's manager.
The woman had long blonde hair and sharp pink eyes. Although her body was covered with a long red robe, it didn't hide her perfect curve underneath it.
Still, the most noticeable thing coming from her was other than pointed fox ears and five golden tails coming from her back.
Name: Steph
Race: Nine-Tailed Fox
Level: 141
Gender: Female
Jail Time: +72 hours
"I'm honored to meet the distinguished guests. My name is Steph, Seika Town's Brothel Manager. Would you be so kind as to follow me to my room?" She extended her hand with a sharp but sweet smile.
Albert paused for a moment as this was the first time he saw someone from a Nine-Tailed Fox Race.
Still, what grabbed his attention was the fluffy tails on her back. It looked so comfortable to be hugged.
Even though he didn't show it on his face, Albert certainly wanted to try hugging one of them.
"Sure." Albert nodded without a change of expression.
They immediately headed to the manager room. Albert took the seat while Bepe and Shella stood behind him.
In front of him was the Nine-Tailed Fox, Steph.
Unexpectedly, she took a look at the left side of Albert for a split second where no one was there as though she somehow felt Shella's existence. After that, she observed Bepe before looking into Albert's eyes.
"Please let me introduce myself again. My name is Steph, Seika Town's Brothel Manager. It's an honor to meet Sir Albert."
"I'm flattered." Albert smiled. "I believe you already know why I'm here."
"Yes. I've confirmed that Sir Albert has come into the town. And according to the information, Sir doesn't like to beat around the bush, so let me cut to the chase. May I know the building you fancy?"
"I'm planning to choose the mansion on the west. I believe the owner was a fallen noble"
"Yes. We possessed it after the property was seized."
"What do you think? Is it possible for me to get that mansion?" Albert asked. "Of course, if the reward for killing a Slime King as well as subduing a wraith is not enough, I can make another deal."
"Her Majesty had told me not to lie to Sir Albert, so I won't hide this. It's actually our wish for Sir Albert to stay in that mansion."
"Oh?" Albert raised his eyebrows, curious about the reason.
"First of all, the mansion is relatively safe and at this size, it's better for someone to stay in it rather than leaving it empty and abandoned. This way, no one would suspect us if we came to the mansion.
"After all, there is still the Magic Potion deal in case you need it. So, this is rather convenient. We would also like everyone to know that you're our distinguished guest." Steph explained her reasoning with a smile.
"I see." Albert thought for a moment. "Yeah. I don't mind that."
"In that case, I'll report it to the queen to request the lift of the seal of this property. I believe Sir can move out in two days."
"Well, I'm going to renovate the place for a bit."
"That's within Sir's authority."
Albert nodded, acknowledging her statement. After that, he fell silent for a moment as though falling into deep thought.
"Sir?"
"Actually, I've been wondering about this. Why do I feel like that the closer I'm to the capital city, the stronger the brothel's manager is?" Albert asked.
Steph widened her eyes as she never expected this kind of question.
"Ah, if it's a military secret, then pretend I never asked."
Bepe was the first to answer, "It's not that, Master. Actually, Her Majesty the Succubus Queen has formed a great wall that surrounds the capital city. It's in the form of brothels. This is the second purpose of the brothel.
"Inside the brothel, there will be a powerful existence This is to make sure that they have enough strength to handle all sorts of problems.
"The closer we're to the capital city, the stronger the existence is. With numerous cities around it, this kind of setup can actually form multiple walls that stop the enemies from advancing to the capital city. In other words, its strongest defense.
"Her Majesty Lilith implemented this ten years ago, so everyone knows about this," Bepe explained.
"Oh, I see." Albert nodded with an innocent face as if he wasn't aware of this knowledge this whole time. "That's a good concept to be honest. Though, it just means the army can't mobilize easily since these kinds of walls need many experts to stay there Well, I guess that's why she held that meeting a few months ago"
Albert still remembered the meeting between the three kingdoms. If it was any other kingdom, they didn't need to talk with others before launching their attack to the opposite side.
"No wonder."
