The Capital

Glassera and Beatrix expected highly of the capital of the Wu region, but they were disappointed to see that the dream place was somewhat of an industrializing city. Smoke was everywhere from different kinds of factories that needed heat to work.

The buildings were already in bad condition. Workers were people who had been deprived of their right to work without pay; in a nutshell, they were slaves. The ground, as mentioned, was dark from different wastes spilling from the movements of the slaves that were carrying the materials they needed. The smell of the city was so nauseous that no one would be able to endure it the first time they set foot inside the city.

"We are here to earn money, not just as mercenaries. Right? We've already seen other cities where White Lead members were, right? We could work hard and be dispatched to those places. We still don't know the system of White Lead, so let's keep our morals to ourselves and just overlook this matter."
