Sword God in a World of Magic

"Sir, the person you've asked for has arrived."

"Thanks," Shang answered the town planner before flying over to a new person that had just entered his town.

"Welcome to my town," Shang spoke politely to the person floating in front of him.

The woman floating in front of Shang chuckled politely. "Thank you, Town Lord," she said. "I've heard that you are interested in buying several Isolation Chambers?"

The person in front of Shang was a woman with long and beautiful grey hair wearing expensive golden robes. She was an Early Ancestral Mage.

"Correct," Shang answered. "I've had some less-than-savory people skulking around my town, and since I am a follower of the mindfree doctrine, I can't just read their minds. That's why I want a couple of Isolation Chambers."

Reading one's mind was the most intrusive act one could possibly be, and there were several laws for exactly this act.

Depending on the Empire that ruled the land, the laws were a bit different.

In the Lightning Manor's territory, reading someone's mind was prohibited. Of course, the Areas were different since they were isolated.

The mind was something sacred, and if one wanted to read someone else's mind, one would need to get permission from the Lightning Manor, which wasn't easy.

Shang lived in the Twilight Dusk Family's territory, and their rules were a bit different.

The Twilight Dusk Family was more open to reading minds, but they also weren't completely open.

Reading someone's mind was essentially the same as killing someone in the Twilight Dusk Family's territory.

If you had a very good reason and justification for reading someone's mind, it was fine, but just randomly doing it when hiring someone, for example, was a no-go.

Of course, as a Town Lord, Shang couldn't just do whatever he wanted. His town was part of the Twilight Dusk Family, and he had to follow the general laws of the Empire.

If he wanted to kill someone or read someone's mind, he had to have an actual reason.

He couldn't just do it because he wanted to.
