Weapon seller in the world of magic-Chapter 591: Alina arrives at Genesis City

After her core was extracted, her physical body was possessed two times. The First time, the Necromancy King performed a forbidden ritual on her and made him his undead general, and the second time, it was the old witch who used witchcraft and used her as her battle puppet.

The after-effects of those rituals probably brought some undead abilities in Alina which were boosted further by repair of her body parts and insertion of her old core.

Since Mark didn't exactly know what happened with her in the past and neither did Alina remember anything as her memories exist in the core itself, he could only assume that it was for the best and put those unnecessary thoughts for the future away. Mark tested her abilities for a while before taking back her with him.

The citizens of Genesis City have never seen Alina before. They couldn't help but wonder whether their Lord brought another beauty home. Naturally, they were happy anyway. Their Lord deserves a hundred women, in their eyes.

Sylvandria was the first to meet them, quite coincidentally on the street though. She was helping out healing a sickly elderly woman in their home and when coming out, she had her eyes locked on Mark and Alina who were not far away.

She went toward them and Mark greeted her casually with a wave of his hand. Alina didn't do anything but silently stood behind him.

Sylvandria looked at her in a bit of surprise, "A puppet? Like Allen?"

Mark introduced her, "Meet Alina. You know that robotic three-headed hound you met once?"

"That's me. This is my old body, which my dear big bro found and brought back to me," replied Alina, affectionately grabbing Mark all of a sudden.

Sylvandria was slightly taken aback by her words and her actions, which didn't seem anything like a puppet. She remembered Allen and knew that she would act human-like, but for some reason, she felt like there was a hint of jealousy and attachment in Alina's tone and expression.

Or maybe, she was just overthinking these days. In the end, Sylvandria concluded it like this and maintained a smile, "Hello, Alina. I'm Sylvandria."

Alina nodded firmly, "I'm aware of it, Miss Sylvandria. I'm connected to big bro's mind. I know what happened between you two and also being aware that you are a 'good friend' of my big bro."

"Ahh… I forgot about that. You can see my memories," Mark quickly warned the android, "Alina, you cannot ever tell Song Yue about us."

"Of course, that goes without saying, big bro," Alina let out a smile as she nodded. After a brief pause, she however added, "That time, you aren't exactly yourself. Not to mention, you don't have any feelings for Miss Sylvandria anyway. So, rest assured. Sister Yue will never hear of the things you were uncomfortable telling her through your own mouth. Let's go. I'm dying to meet her, after so long."

"Ah, okay. Syl, are you coming with us to the palace?"

"No, I have to visit another house to treat someone's illness."

"Okay. Come home. Today, we will have a grand banquet, as I have something to announce."

"Big Bro, let's go…"

As Alina dragged Mark away, Sylvandria stared at their back in a bit of sadness. She then put her hand on her stomach and mumbled, "When the time comes, I really hope both of you won't cause chaos in the family."

Mark and Alina returned to the palace, which is more like a large estate that includes his mansion-sized residential home and various other buildings.

Within the palace grounds, there is a butchery house where the corpses of high-quality spirit beasts hunted by Eol/Fu Sheng's army will be brought back here for the meat and other body parts.

Then, there is a breeding farm where the captured spirit beasts are brought back here to breed them in either increasing their population or conduct experiments to create new spirit beasts. There are two types of beasts here. One type is used for purely meat purposes. The second type is used for taming purposes.

There is also an Entertainment house, which is more or less a brothel but without any sexual services. The nobles, the royals, or the officials can visit here, they drink to their fill, are entertained by courtesans with their music or dance, magic shows or live paintings, and return to their homes.

With over a million residents at the moment, Mark could find people in every kind of job.

In Genesis City, the term Noble courtesan strictly refers to the ladies who work at the royal entertainment house, displaying their talent and nothing else. These are all highly educated and skilled, and revered by the citizens. Anyone who lays a hand on them without their consent is bound to face strict punishment or even the death penalty, or so, if one quotes the royal palace's announcement.

Unfortunately, the commoners who aren't working as officials in the royal palace cannot access this place.

For them, there is a common brothel in the city that includes both entertainment and sexual services just like every other brothel in other empires and kingdoms. However, what's different here from anywhere else is the strict law.

The rank-4 robotic dogs and rank-5 robots are considered the foot soldiers who always patrol with at least one rank-6 robot 24 hours all over the city. They were quite merciless against those who committed the crimes.

When the population was only ten thousand, the city was relatively at peace.

But, when it increased to one million after the recent third phase, which was supposed to be at a later date but had to pre-pone it due to certain situations, it was hard for even Mark to keep track of crimes. The merciless robots put too many people in jails for even little crimes that could be ignored for the first time.

To face this challenge, Mark had to recruit some skilled people to accompany the robots, giving them the authority to punish or show mercy to first-time wrongdoers.

Anyway, the strict law and constant patrolling almost ensured zero crime rate in the city and made the women safe, especially the working ones.

Since Mark doesn't look down on any kind of profession, within the past couple of weeks, the people also saw changes even in their own thoughts. But then again, social status is something that not even Mark could eradicate, not that he wanted to. Hence, he modified it in a way to suit his ruling before he could bring democracy to the land.

Like for example, the royal courtesans working in the royal entertainment house naturally get more respect than the courtesans working at ordinary brothels.

The officials of the royal palace will have higher respect than the ones who work to fend off themselves by setting up their own shops and such. The ten thousand prime citizens will have greater respect in the city than even a 100,000 gold net-worth wealthy individual who moved in the third phase.

Back to the palace, other than those three buildings, buildings for each ministry, judicial hall, etc… were all built on the premises of the palace, everything except for a temple. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Alina knew everything from her master's memories, but seeing through her own eyes was a different experience for her. She couldn't help but become proud of her master who managed to build a well-functioning city in such a short time.

Together, as they returned to Mark's residence which is guarded by several rank-8 and three rank-9 robots, they saw Song Yue was busy playing tag with her five-month-old son who already started running a bit.

Little Lu Shan was trying his best to catch her mother but to no avail. His cheeks were puffed and he looked so frustrated that he might cry at any time. Clearly, Song Yue was enjoying that, for some reason.

"Waaaa…"

Lu Shan bent his head forward to charge into his mom. She was about to dodge at the last second once again but then upon sensing the presence of her husband, Song Yue looked to the right and saw both of them together.

"Alina?" She was taken aback in surprise. Lu Shan caught his mom finally but he too shifted his attention toward the source where his mom was looking at.

"Ba Ba…" Lu Shan excitedly charged at his dad, but then just a few steps later, he lost his footing and was about to fall down.

Alina disappeared and reappeared by Lu Shan's side and caught him quickly, earning a surprise from both mom and son.

As Lu Shan looked at her, Alina raised him to her eye level and smiled, "Hello there, young master. We meet again."

"Huh?" Lu Shan cutely tilted his head with his index finger in his mouth.
