Each time Daren advance a level, he gains one summon slot. But what surprised him was, that after advancing to S Rank he gained 2 slots instead of one.
He has the money now so these extra slots would be a lot more help to him. He currently have 3 free spots, but he doesn't feel the need to buy any more men or items, for now atleast.
After checking on everyone's progress, Daren walked back to the meeting hall. Boaz should be waiting for him there.
He was thinking about little Nhi. What bothered him was, that he didn't know any method or have any knowledge about the process of how the beasts level up. Also he was afraid of people dying, thus didn't let Nhi spar with others. Her poison was too potent.
Cahya was also no help regarding this matter. Daren reached the room where he and Boaz were set to meet. And thus Daren decided to push the topic related to Nhi at the back of his mind, to be entertained some other time in the future.
Daren entered the room and was greeted by Boaz. Daren nodded at his gesture. Boaz then took out a roll out from his bag.
Boaz slowly spread the sheet open at the table top. Daren noticed that it was a grey colored thick sheet, with neat and sharp edges. Though the sheet looked fragile, it was quiet durable and flexible.
On the inner side of the sheet, with the use of colors certain images were drawn. Daren at once knew it was the map of this world.
Daren started studying the map carefully. The people of this world called this planet, a continent.
And they named it GENESIA.
The continent of Genesia was divided into 2 huge land masses. Few islands also exists between the 2 land. Surrounding these land masses was the sea.
The map was made on a scale of 1cm =500 km. So the area the world covered was about 50,000 km.
The map can be divided in 2 half with a vertical line in the center. On the right from the center is one of the land mass. It was solely under the control of Kingdom of Raven.
The land was in a shape of a Raven, descending from the sky. Wings spread wide, tail pointed downwards.
At the place where the eye of the raven should be, 'The Blood River sect ' has made their home. Near the top right corner of this land mass was the location of' The Dragon Blood sect'.
At the bottom of the center of the map, an island, in the shape of a spilled egg existed. The vertical line that divide the map in two passes through its center. This place was home to 'The heaven path Sect'.
On the left side was the other land mass. It was shaped like 'shorts'. (yes like a short apparently) But it was rotated at 90° degree angle. That means the waist side faced the west. And the legs side faced the east.
This land was occupied by The Kingdom of Astina, The Holy kingdom of Light and the Forbidden forest.
The land was divided in 3 parts by an "X" shaped mountain range which extend from the middle east of land to the the central parts of this land mass. To be precise, the shape of the mountain was somewhere between the letter "X" and "K" [ try imagining something like this " )< " ].
(I'll be adding image of the map soon so that you guys get proper understanding of the planet.)
The western part of this land mass, divided by the mountains range was occupied by the Kingdom of Astina.
The eastern top part of this land mass (or one leg of the shorts) was occupied by The Holy Kingdom of Light.
The bottom east part of this land mass (or the other leg of the shorts) was the Forbidden forest.
Each of these 3 regions had the mountains as their border.
The only place where The Kingdom of Astina and Kingdom of Light shared the border was top central part of the land mass. Somehow the mountains range ends before reaching the sea, leaving an plain area, that connects both the kingdom.
The same type of connection existed with the forbidden forest. On the bottom of the central part of the land mass, the mountain range stops before reaching the sea, thus leaving a path connecting the Kingdom of Astina with the forbidden forest.
Between the Holy Kingdom of Light and Forbidden forest (or between both legs) was the sea. And in that part of the sea, 2 semicircular shaped islands existed. They both faced each other. It was as if a circle was cut in two with a blade. One semicircular island was occupied by 'The Plum Blossom sect'. The other semicircular island was occupied by 'The Iron Fist sect'.
The Iron Fist sect occupying the southern island and the Plum Blossom sect occupying the Northern Island.
The middle of the mountain range that borders the sea facing side of the Holy Kingdom of Light, was home to the Snow mountain sect.
A part on west side of the Kingdom of Astina, was home to ' the 1000 sword sect'. The eastern borders of the 1000 sword sect was shared by the capital of Astina. To The north of the sect was an area where the noble families resides.
To The north of the capital and to the east of the area occupied by nobles, was an area designated for trade. Both trading withing the country and with other kingdoms took place in this Area.
East of this trade zone was the area occupied by the army. This area was marked as a danger zone, as it shares border with the Holy Kingdom of light. As the only area with an access to other kingdom, this place was highly guarded.
To the south of the 1000 sword sect was the place where the common people live. The southern part of this area has most of the farms and the northern part is occupied by civilians.
The left side of the "X" shaped mountain range, was the land known as the wastelands. The area covered by wastelands starts from the point where the mountain range ends in the north. That is, the point where the the border between the Kingdom of Astina and Kingdom of Light starts.
The wastelands starts from that point and extends vertically all the way to the southern end of the land mass. The wastelands extends almost parallelly to the mountain range.
And parallelly to the wastelands, runs the woods. The woods starts, a few hundred kilometer south from the point where the wastelands starts. And run all the way to the south reaching the sea.
What piqued Daren's curiosity, was the fact that the area around the mountain range in all 3 regions was barren. As if life has been sucked dry from that part of the land.
