"I can't believe they're going to waste good tea." Unlike Blake and Lynn who had left their cups on the table, Marjorie had finished her tea only to see the complicated expressions of the young men in front of her.
"I'm sorry, Major, but the emotional blow was too much to simply ignore." Lynn was still immersed in that feeling since the memory of the empire auction had come to her mind, and there a stone flower had been sold for a million of runic crystals, which was comparable to one hundred million coins…
For his part, Blake was not as affected as Lynn, but he still understood how valuable what he had just drank was. Although he considered himself someone with many secrets, he knew that everyone would keep some of their own, especially Marjorie.
This same situation lasted for a few minutes, and Marjorie simply shrugged her shoulders and then poured herself another cup of tea.
"Sigh… I think it's best if I imagine this never happened." Lynn had taken a long sigh and then took the cup in front of her again and took a small sip "I guess it's something I could brag about in the future… Although surely some people would want to hit me because of that."
Lynn also didn't want to imagine her mother's reaction if she found out about it, but knowing her, she too would resign herself to it and simply enjoy an afternoon of tea with Marjorie.
"Where are we staying, Blake?" Lynn had to ask since she was still affected by what had just happened and she didn't remember where in the explanation she had left off.
"About Gebu's divisions, I don't know if there is anything more missing about it."
"Thank you… We can consider that part as finished actually, I also think that there is not much more to mention about Gebu besides some representative sites, but I will also leave that as a task for you to investigate on your own" Lynn felt that the end of this whole situation of reporting to Blake wouldn't last much longer, but that didn't make her determined attitude lessened. "Now, that leaves us with one last location to go to, the Raidu Continent."
And repeating the same action that she had been doing lately, Lynn traced the map with her index finger crossing the mid-ocean area that separates Gebu from Raidu. Blake was able to see the divisions that Lynn talked about represented on the map in a simple way, and to his surprise, the Raidu continent had many of these.
"It seems like you already realized Raidu's quirk." Lynn caught a glimpse of Blake's expression and she knew what was on his mind.
"Yes, does that mean there are many kingdoms and empires all over Raidu?" Considering what had been described before, Blake's question didn't seem too out of place.
From one end to the other of the continent, you could see how it was separated into several regions each of them having their divisions respectively, and from everything Blake had heard up to this moment, it was the only idea that had come to his mind.
"Hahaha! I figured you'd come to that resolution on your own, but let me tell you, the reality is quite different, Blake." Lynn had found the situation a bit funny, but she didn't want it to bother Blake, so she thought it was best to satisfy his lack of knowledge. "First of all, I would like to know if you realized anything since we mentioned most of the powers found in Futhark."
Lynn's words caught Blake a little off guard, and although he felt the need to respond, he didn't know what Lynn wanted as an answer, fortunately, she realized Blake's confusion and he didn't let that little annoyance continue to torment him.
"You see, leaving aside the elf kingdom, the lake of the beginning and Yamato Island, what race rules the most territories in Futhark?" And with that simple question, Blake was able to formulate the correct answer.
"That… It would be humans." Blake only needed to think about the kingdoms and empires that had been mentioned so far, and since Lynn didn't specify anything, she assumed that all the rulers of those territories were humans.
"Again you are right, maybe just hearing that is enough to make us feel proud, but at the same time, humans also have the reputation of being the main cause of confrontations with other races or even among themselves… But let's stop That aside once again." Lynn had once again focused on the negative parts during her story, so she wanted to ignore it for the moment. "What I want to say is that what you say is true, and what I'm trying to get at is that, unlike this case, Raidu is a continent where the main government falls in the hands of the dwarves."
Blake raised one of his eyebrows in expectation, he already knew that the dwarves seemed to have quite a presence in Raidu, but hearing that had surprised him and he wanted to know more.
"You could consider Raidu to be quite similar to Laguz, this focusing on the aspect of the entire continent being united. Everything was achieved by the dwarves and their intention to get along with all the races of Futhark, the way in which they are made up is quite peculiar, since, although Raidu is the continent itself, its internal structure makes up what They call the Republic of Eucraft." That definition came from the result of the formation of all the Raidu territories as one, which is why the Republic of Eucraft was considered the only country in futhark. "At the same time, Eucraft is divided into what they call "states", each one bearing its own name and being governed by a clan of dwarves, of course that is not always the case, since for each state there is a ruler and it is not always a dwarf belonging to some clan, It could be a human, elf, or even a mer, but above all, the one who is in charge of ruling over everyone, although not as a king or emperor would do, is the president of the Eucraft republic, who is always replaced through a vote of the entire nation every few years."
