Chapter 297 - Day 297: A cup of tea (III)

The life expectancy aspect was mentioned again, and Blake was now more aware of it. It wasn't like he was completely interested, but he wasn't going to deny that it was a good reward at the end of the day if he increased his level in the runic path and magic, although he was still grateful to know that information since he had no idea about it.

'Hmm... So, Daria is capable of living much longer than an ordinary human... But... In that case, what is my life expectancy since I'm a half-monster?' Blake took a thoughtful pose again since, despite Everything he had heard from Lynn, the mention of people like him had never been present, perhaps the closest thing was the mers, and although he had not yet lost hope, he felt that his suspicions were going to come true.

Lynn waited for Blake to finish what was tormenting her mind, surely the questions he had would come in the future, so when he saw that her sight was focused on her again, she continued where she had left off.

"From what I told you, you may think of the univir as a solitary race, and perhaps that definition is not far from the truth, but aside from the small groups they form among themselves, not many dares to cause them trouble since they have a very interesting ability." Lynn was about to blurt out this information and see Blake's surprised expression again, but like the small occasions that have been presented, Blake came forward with the answer.

"They have the ability to communicate with monsters, don't they?" Blake still remembered the information Nana had told him about the univir, so he knew a little more about them compared to other races.

"So, you already knew that. Yes, that is a very important reason as no one would like to provoke a univir and discover that the next morning their home has been ravaged by monsters, although it is also because of that ability that many even consider the univir as monsters instead of another of the Futhark races." Lynn had directed her gaze towards Marjorie for a moment, but seeing her as calm as always, she returned her attention to Blake. "And besides that, the most characteristic thing about the univir is also the horn that comes out of their foreheads, so it is easy to identify them. I know that I told you that they do not interact much with the other races, but that does not mean that they reject them completely, there are even some univir that try to be part of some towns or, on the contrary, some individuals gain the trust of the univir camps and they stay to live there."

That was a bit more of a detailed explanation, and Blake didn't know some of those aspects, he didn't think it was that strange to encounter a univir, but now that he thought about it, it was the only race he hadn't had contact with yet... Or at least that's what he thought.

"I guess that's enough for us to finish our tour of Uruz, and following the counterclockwise order, I think the next place we have to visit would be Gebu." Lynn had returned her attention to the map as she moved through it using his finger until he reached another of the drawings that represented each of the continents.

Blake had followed that movement while he thought of the continent protected by the guardian of the wind.

"Well, as we have been doing so far, let's start by talking a little generally about the continent. I also forgot to tell you, but while the beauty of Laguz lies in the expanses of water throughout the territory, and in Uruz it is the imposing mountain ranges and mountains that rise above the clouds, the natural beauty of Gebu is present in the abundant nature as well as the perfect control of the climate, so if someone mentioned that Gebu could never see a storm that could wipe out towns or floods that would cause problems in the main cities, no one could say otherwise." That description was a little strange, but since Lynn liked to wait before clarifying those characteristics, Blake simply took his notebook and began to write down the possible questions he could get from it. "In itself, Gebu also has its own division of powers, The strongest of them is the kingdom of Roland, not to go into too much detail, it is very similar to the kingdom of Norad, only that Roland, in addition to giving importance to magical development, also implements elemental arrays, instruments created by the dwarves and technology of Sechs in their daily life, so you could say that it is a territory with quite a bit of diversity. Right now, the kingdom of Roland is ruled by the Selphius royal family as it has been for generations, and although the current king is not a runic emperor or Six-rune wizard, that does not cause any type of discontent since the kingdom has a very good relationship with the elven kingdom and its military strength it is not something you can just ignore."

"Does that mean it's not very rare to see elves in Gebu?" Blake couldn't help but ask since he had remembered that Daria's sister lived in Gebu, although he also remembered that one of the elder dragons resided in Gebu.

"Exactly, although they are more common to see in the territory that Roland designated for them, that is an aspect that makes all of Futhark respect that kingdom since it demonstrated the good intention of all races towards the elves by giving up a considerable part of their territory to give it to them to give them a chance to integrate with the world." Blake was a little surprised by this and automatically some respect also grew in him despite not knowing how the situation completely went. "So, in addition to the kingdom of Roland, Gebu also has a territory where a large part of the elves coexists with the other races, it does not have a name as such, so it is not strange that it is still considered a part of Roland even though it hasn't real power there."

For Lynn, it was a little difficult to think about the determination it took for the King of Roland to make that decision, but seeing how everything had turned out and the changes it had brought to the world, she felt the same way as Blake, and that was the same feeling of many people around Futhark.
