"I thought Shiarlan was just a legend? So how are you familiar with the fruit? Have you tasted one?" I inquired.
An arrogant personality like this guy makes me believe that he is saying the truth. This type of person surely will not lie because of their prideful nature.
"Master, I happen to have eaten a Shiarlan in the past. It was given to me as a form of sacrifice by the flame undine's."
"How come you're able to meet with the flame undine's."
"Well, I have instructed Bathor to bring me to his travels together with the first emperor. Those two lads are very adventurous. So, as I tagged along with them, we can have met the flame undines.
Your ancestor was very knowledgeable about different languages spoken by other species. I think your family got his gifts. You, you, you, and master."
He then pointed at Uncle Allaster, Aleksio, Skylur, and me.
He's right.
I know for sure that the three of them are very gifted in foreign languages and as for me, I may have noticed that I am a fast learner regarding learning new languages.
As of now, I have studied four languages. These are Roxin spoken by the kingdom of Hastroela, Olian by the kingdom of Pascus, Srukish by the kingdom of Etrar, and lastly Inean which is the language used by the Empire of Daskionia.
I chose these four countries because they are one of Kraevia's allies, plus I read in the book that these places have the top level when you want to find beauty.
Hahaha!
But also when I can already travel, I would visit these countries. And what's the purpose of my travel?
Adventure and scouting.
Hahahaha!
Geography time! Please bear with me as I explain these countries' locations and their specialties. As an official foodie, one of the things I research before traveling is food. That is very essential.
This world is composed of five continents. Edrith which Kraevia Empire and the Kingdom of Etrar is located is the largest of the five, followed by Meinefor, which is the territory of the Empire of Daskionia.
The third continent is Krohura, where the Kingdom of Pascus and the Kingdom of Hastroela are located. While the last remaining two are Oban and Reclira.
The last two continents are uninhibited by the humans because it is full of different kinds of monster and no humans can survive this place if you are not powerful enough to defend yourself.
But other powerful species build their territory on these two continents.
The Bird folks, Cat people, Dark Elves, Dragonkins, Giants, Vampires, and Werewolves were known to have a territory in these two continents.
The Kingdom of Hastroela lies in the heart of Krohura. Hastroela can be divided into three distinct geographical regions. The Decaying Peaks cover roughly 48% of the country, the Middlenan Fields around 21%, and the capital of Hastroela 31%.
It has 38 thousand mountain peaks that are 4,000 meters or higher. The Decaying Peaks cover most of the country, but only 10% of the population live there. Around 50% of Hastroela's land is used for agriculture, while roughly 10% is covered by forest and woodland.
Hastroela's known for exporting the Klammond fruit, which is the main ingredient for creating mana potions. This type of tree only grows in the land of Decaying Peaks.
Many people have tried to cultivate this fruit, but it was a failure since it will not grow in normal soil.
Uncle Allaster has an experiment regarding this.
According to his findings, the soil in the Decaying Peaks has very rich nutrients that were not found in other countries. Maybe this is the reason why it only grows there.
While the Kingdom of Pascus is situated on the island beside the Hastroela. It is a small kingdom composed of 40% land and the remaining 60% are different kinds of bodies of water.
Pascus is known for exporting the highest kinds of fish and other sea creatures which can be eaten. Even though their kingdom is small, they are blessed by Gelotl, God of the Sea.
Gelotl blessed this country by being the most experience in terms of hunting sea creatures.
That's why even this country is small, others may think twice before invading them. Because I can say that the sea creatures that they can hunt are not weak.
The Empire of Daskionia can be considered as Kraevia's relative. Because their first empress was the first emperor's granddaughter.
The continent of Meinefor is mostly composed of deserts. But Daskionia is the most powerful country on this continent.
Plus, they are super-wealthy. In terms of wealth, maybe the Kraevia Empire is slightly higher than Daskionia. But you cannot underestimate their wealth.
The people that came from Daskionia are exceptional merchants. They are very skillful in terms of doing business.
Daskionia is known for exporting high-quality items use in blacksmithing. They are also known for producing top-quality minerals used for making pieces of jewelry.
I remembered on my birthday that my mother's cousin, the current emperor, sent a very high-quality ruby bracelet. The bracelet was enchanted by a very powerful protective spell.
One of my favorite subjects in school was geography. I hope that you can picture the continents according to my descriptions.
Have fun reading.
