Chapter 289 - Day 289: A good diet (III)

Blake understood what Lynn was referring to as, as he looked at the map carefully, he saw more illustrations that represented some tracts of land and places with his name, or that's what he thought they were.

"You see, Blake. Futhark is quite extensive, especially in terms of size, each of the continents covers a part of it, but there are other quite interesting places." Lynn moved her finger again to a new location on the map "Here, for example, is It lies between Laguz and Raidu though a bit far from both, but the power found on Yamato Island is not something to be underestimated."

Blake paid attention, the way the place Lynn mentioned was presented was a piece of land that seemed to be not even as large as half of any of the continents, even the distance between Laguz and Yamato Island was greater in comparison with what it would take to get from Laguz to Raidu. That name was also one that Blake had never heard of, so there was no need to mention that he was pretty curious about it.

"I know the term island is in its name, but its land area is enough to compare it to some countries. In short, Yamato Island is like the holy land for any existing runic of the current era. It is said that this is where the remnant runic clans from the era of disconnection decided to settle and develop, besides that there are many mysteries hidden there. The reason why I tell you not to underestimate that territory is because everyone is aware that there are many experts or monsters hidden in that place…" Lynn's brows furrowed unconsciously, especially since the thought of Yamato Island brought to mind the memory of when she encountered a runic from that place, and could only regard it as a mass of arrogance in human form...

Blake and Marjorie noticed Lynn's expression, but they didn't mention anything about it, Blake also remembered the era of disconnection that Marjorie had mentioned to him, but it seemed to be quite a long topic, so he just wrote it down as a note for the future while listening to Lynn again.

"Although it is also true that the main headquarters of many sects that you can find around the world are located there, that is why Yamato Island is called the holy land for the runics since, in addition to the area in which it is located, it is unbelievably good when it comes to quantity and quality of runic energy, it's also not uncommon for you to get a chance to fill your pockets with runic abilities or get noticed by some master if you're lucky enough, but if that's not the case, you might not even be able to get out in one piece if you go there" Lynn didn't keep her thoughts to herself, everyone knew that if you were a runic foreigner on Yamato Island, unless you had enough power to be respected or connections, your days would be somewhat difficult, but there was no denying the fact that you would get a lot of benefits at the same time. "Well, at least it's good that you know about it, Yamato Island is a neutral territory, and most of the time it avoids any contact with the other territories of the world, of course that doesn't take away the fact that you might find runics belonging to that place hanging around the other continents, but the only time you would see a big movement from the island is during the world representative selection."

Blake was about to make a note of the new term he had just heard, but he wasn't counting on the fact that Marjorie would go ahead and answer it since she knew Blake didn't know anything about it.

"The selection of the representative of the world is a type of competition that brings together all the Futhark territories, in which a competition is held where the younger generation demonstrates their power, each of them representing the place they belong to and where only one can take with it the title of representative of the world... You don't need to think too much about it since, with your current level, you have nothing to do with it." Marjorie's words were quite interesting, Blake was able to deduce a little what it was that kind of event, but as his master had said, it didn't have much to do with him.

Lynn was silent until she knew that Marjorie said everything that was on her mind, she also had a lot to say about the competition, but it seemed that this topic had already been put aside.

"Then let's continue. I guess you already noticed that the continents are far from each other, and what divides all this is precisely the vast middle ocean, it could even be said that the ocean is the largest territory of Futhark, not only because all the continents are surrounded by it and because it occupies most of the map, but because the middle ocean has always been home to one of the Futhark races." Lynn paused a bit, this to check if Blake knew the answer to her words, and she was not disappointed.

"You speak of the Mer?" Blake didn't have to think too hard when he remembered his pink-haired good friend.

"That's right, it's well known that if there's enough water, some Mer might be living nearby. Of course, not so literally, but with that you can understand that the middle ocean is the safest and most comfortable place for the Mer to inhabit, both because of their morphology and their customs, but specifically in the depths of the ocean, there is what we could call the land of the Mer, the lake of the beginning." Lynn could see the curiosity that Blake overflowed, she still had a lot of information that for her was simply general knowledge, but noticing the slight Blake's excitement at her knowledge, she was thinking carefully and remembering as best she could for him to understand what she really wanted to express, and at the same time making a curious thought appear in her mind. 'Hehe, maybe I should become a teacher in the future.'
