Inheriting a Lost Bloodline, My First Task is to have heirs?!
Chapter 159 - 159 - Events at the Red Light District 1

Back in Hoffen City, the reason why I entered the entertainment district was purely out of curiousity. Since I was the home buddy type when I was still living on earth. Even if I was way over the legal age to drink and enter such places, I have never visited one of these shady or lewd establishments. I was actually intrigued on the difference between the "entertainment" district and the "pleasure" district of this world. Don't say I'm lying, okay?

To clear things up, I haven't visited it during the night when it was bustling with activity. My first visit here was when I accompanied Lark to the pubs since he's looking for available jobs or performance slots so he could sing. All the establishments were closed at that time. This place looks very similar to the entertainment district in Hoffen City in the morning, a colorful ghost town.

As for the things that I remembered from my conversations with Lia and Nische, it was about them scolding me about looking for men or in their heartless terms "possible vessels" in the wrong places. They said that I can simply take seeds from males that I find attractive from any race and simply incubate it in the room of beginnings any time that I wanted to since that is the main purpose of that place. The room of beginnings will also automatically correct any health issues from the seeds so that only the best quality children will be born. As for looking for the "vessels", those two said that the trick would be to look for unpure men like those in the pleasure districts, poverty stricken areas and areas affected by war or other natural calamities where people are more desperate and will do anything in exchange for money. They even said that I can also look for widows, divorcees, men that are several years past the marriageable age, men that sell their services and even men that are dying due to sickness or accidents if I want to. In this way, I don't need to take responsibility for them afterwards.

It was quite heartless but through all the time I spent here in this world, I realized it was a necessary step for my tasks and to avoid complications. The deal was simple. I simply hired people then they will give their bodies to me on their own volition and we part ways after I pay for their services. It was an equal exchange with no strings attached. As for the others, I don't have to sleep with them per se but I can still pay for their services (taking their seeds) and I can just say that it will be used for magical research. It would make my baby-making tasks much smoother in the long run. As for the seeds, I can keep them indefinitely in pristine condition in the room of beginnings. If I do not mix in my own essence and mana on to the seeds, they will not form into babies. It was somewhat like creating my personal sperm bank in earth terms. This is not something new to me since I also keep seeds and essences from my husbands for future use.

There is a huge problem with this plan though. It is not that they'll come find me but once I take their seeds, they will turn into vessels. Maybe you are thinking what was the problem with them being vessels? It is a problem since vessels can only get pregnant with my children in their lifetimes. Men can also feel if a child is born from them even if I don't let them know about it. I may not need to take responsibility but they sure will look for me no matter where I go. Even if they knock on my door, it is not like they can find the children since I will keep them in Eieneos. The woman has the custody if children are born between men and women that do not have an official relationship anyways so I am still safe. It would result in a lot of unnecessary drama though.

If there were any choices left, I won't resort to this but what can I do? Waiting for my other two husbands to deify will take some time. It is also not in my plans to get them pregnant every single year for the rest of their lives. I don't think they will like that idea at all so the only way is to find other vessels instead. Eventually, I'll have to awaken those four sleeping men and I have to nurse Nische back to health.

Since I have decided to go through with this, should I target evil men that hurt others or play with women's hearts? Don't get me wrong, no matter which place, time, universe or dimension, scumbags can come in any gender. Most men who were born to rich households or powerful families tend to become like this. They are treated as princes until they were spoiled rotten. I suddenly remember that novel I read before which was very interesting. Was it "Cheating Men Must Die" where the FL's job was to punish those scumbags and make sure they regret everything in the most painful way?

Don't worry, I am not going to kill them to get rid of the evidence and I don't intend to punish them until they are miserable. If you think about it though, having a child that you can never see in your lifetime is indeed a heavy punishment for the men in this world. At first, it was just a comparison to my possible circumstances in the future but the more I think about it, the more feasible and interesting this plan looks to me. Though I may get in trouble with those rich and powerful households, I am not scared, not even a bit. They can fight me all they want but they can't take the children from me anyways.

Once I am done contemplating the pros and cons of this plan, I started walking towards the red light district. I looked around curiously and even went in some of the pubs. I looked at the other establishments that offer different kinds of services like sensual massages, striptease dances, live intimate shows, as well as all types of sexual services one can think of. They also provide more wholesome ones like for those people that only need companionship, a drinking buddy or just someone to talk to about anything. It was not too different to the modern day brothels in my previous world, I guess. The pricing was neither cheap nor expensive in my standards. The more popular escorts or gigolos, whatever they may call them, were of course, more expensive than most of the men working here. I believe their standard is that the more expensive one man is, the higher their quality or maybe they have better skills in you know what. Perhaps these men were younger or "fresher" than others or maybe they have not yet served too many customers. For whatever reason, they seem to be out of reach for most visitors due the price but it makes them even more desirable to everybody.

At the end of the bustling street, I noticed one establishment that seemed to be bigger and grander than most of the buildings here. Out of curiousity, I peeked inside and an attendant immediately approached me and asked, "How may I help you madam?" I smiled and asked back, "What does this establishment offer?" He took a piece of paper from his clothes' chest pocket and gave it to me. He then explained that they were an auction house that sells debt slaves and war slaves. He also said that I should look through their goods which is usually refreshed every Wednesday. This is the first time I encountered an auction house where their sole product for selling are people. This should be quite interesting. Should I use my other identity when going around these parts?

After getting all the information I can from the auction house attendant, I walked back to the other smaller establishments in the area. I asked the people around the area on their opinions as to which house or establishment they think is the most popular one and which escort they believe is the most beautiful or talented. I got a lot of different answers but it seems that most of the crowd favorites come from one of three establishments: Elysia, Bliss or Kama. I should visit these places then so as to not waste time or resources. I think I have to visit all of them tonight if I can. I don't need that much sleep anyways so it is fine if I come home quite late.

Being the lazy me, I simply decided which I will visit first by using the alphabetical order rules and went for "Bliss" as my first option. I will then visit Elysia next and then Kama last. I asked for directions from the regulars and immediately went to the first place on my list.
