Chapter 1 Part5 (1/1)

Even though I say we're at around the sa the winter and suot the chance to look at a e was situated in a valley Because of that, I figured that the te our continent's overall climate

The Lockhart family's territory was siroup of free states called the City-State Federation, the country of dom The City-State Federation and Fortis came into existence when the Kaelum Empire had too much unsettled land in their frontiers After all, these ed to the Kaelum Empire only on paper There was a reason why these lands had remained unsettled by the Kaelum Empire Due to the widespread presence ofthe citizens safe was not worth the inal increase in tax revenue

However, it's worththat the Kaelu the villages it established to reclai to say that these lands near the border were autonoed to the Kaeluiven as rewards to nobles and knights My grandfather, Govan Lockhart, was one of them

Due to his distinguished services in a war eighteen years ago, randfather rose from the within the ranks of the coht However, just three years later, he ended up co to his own territory, Rushmore, due to some kind of problem He's lived here ever since

I've never heard my father and mother talk about the incident in detail Even when I asked those who have served our fa time, like Walt, they merely tried to avoid the question and refused to tellHowever, it was clear that what they knew about the incident was not so that should be told to a three year old child After that, I stopped inquiring any further about it

So, as a way of wrapping everything up: Rushe was located in near the northeastern border of the Kaeluree of autonododom their home North of Rushmore was Periclitar, the city of adventurers and a member of the City-State Federation And finally, west of Rushmore was Fortis, the country of mercenaries

It's also worth noting that Rushe was about five kilometers away from the main road, the Alsu road Due to the presence of thieves in these ”five kiloe was completely cut off from any trade routes nobody on the Alsu road ever bothered visiting our village, instead, they either traveled directly north or south

However, if our disadvantageous location was ignored, there were still various benefits that could be found

One of these benefits was the existence guilds Major guilds included the Merchants, Mercenaries, Adventurers, Mages and Blacksmiths Guild These were commonly known as ”The Five Guilds”

My books didn't contain too anizations that relied on e cities In order to becouild see their examinations also seeate too deeply into that because I was ato do with me

Of course, the guild I was interested in was the Adventurers Guild

Although I wasn't sure about all the differences between adventurers and mercenaries, it seemed like the main point was that adventurerson escort missions Of course, e-scale subjugations of monsters Mercenaries also acted as soldiers when they accepted long-term contracts from various countries

I couldn't gather es Guild due to their self-enclosed nature However, based on public inforuild's main branch was located in Doctus It was known as the Academy City and was a es was also located in Doctus and entering the acadeive you the qualifications needed to enter the Mages Guild

In order to ic abilities, I wanted to learn es Guild However, Rushes, only three healers who could use healing ic

Although lean so various myths about the Gods of this world

The world was created by a creation God named the Creator After that, there were the three main Gods: Kaelum the God of the Heavens, Monsu the God of the Earth, and Vita the God of Humans Apart from these three ht attributes: Ignus the God of Fire, Rukydous the God of Light, Ventus the God of Wind, Arbor the God of the Forest, Phonsu the God of Water, Noctus the God of Darkness, Rimsu the God of Soil, and finally, Ferruht attributes had a strong influence on ic and seemed to be more widely worshi+ped than the three main Gods

I have a feeling that there were also twelve Gods in my dream but as for who I spoke with, I have no idea

Incidentally, Rushmore didn't worshi+p any specific God Instead, the village only had a single shrine dedicated to all twelve Gods At first glance, the priest of our teht appear to be dedicated to Rimsu the God of Soil This is because our temple is located fairly closely to the Kauwood, a town located on the border of the Kaumu Empire, and didn't stay permanently in Rushmore Since our shrine was basically afestivals in order to perform rituals

The standard for weights and measures utilized units that were essentially identical to those in our world Their units were also based on the MKS system of units and used the decimal system There were only subtle differences in the way they were read For the standard units of weight, grarans For the standard units of length, ed to kied cemers Their symbols and quantities were the sa them was hardly a problem
