Melgor, the moocher

The culture of tattooing was not prevalent in the Kingdom of Sorcerers. Ren Xiaosu had only seen them on porters near the relay station as he traveled here from the south. At that time, Melgor explained to him that tattoos were used to identify those who were formerly criminals.

Therefore, tattoos were actually a mark of shame for the normal citizens in the Kingdom of Sorcerers.

But it was different in the underground world. They used tattoos as a symbol of their resistance, while the most loyal guardians tattooed their faces to show their determination to stand up to the magus order.

Meanwhile, bounty hunters like Chen Jingshu could disguise themselves as normal citizens and return to the surface at any time by blending in with the crowd.

But the same could not be said for the guardians. Once they returned to the surface, they would be out of place with everyone else.
