It's a country that was once occupied by Xianxia, which was later occupied by the Empire, before the war in which Brother Nar and Sas were known as heroes liberated it.
A rather large country with many swamps and lakes. Like any other country, they're mostly human in the city, but the swamp area are place for the lizardmen, dragonewt, fish beastman. Yes, instead of mermaid who usually live on the sea, this is Fish beastman otherwise referred as Fishman.
From what I heard from others, their economic trade is mostly relaying on their export of oils as well as their special rice which can live in swampy area. Since they have more rural areas which are mostly covered by lake and swamp, their main strength is agriculture.
It's also one of the five countries we will pass through to connect Amleth to the Elven Kingdom. I've only been here once, when I was with Grandma Farhah. Although we did stop there, it was only for a short time because Sister Khamisah had to answer as a Saga back then, and as such, I don't think I left much of an impression there.
"All right, since you will have a total of four days of vacation, this is your homework. Make sure you do not slack off. Yes, resting is important, but that doesn't mean you should neglect everything" [Tiara]
"So many! You guys! Please help me! We should study together and finish the homework right away" [Diana]
"So that you can go to Philip's country, am I right? I also wanted to concentrate on my singing with Miss Vita tomorrow, so let's do it together" [Neloufa].
"Neloufa! My best friend forever and ever!" [Diana]
"You really want to leave early tomorrow, don't you?" [Auger]
"I heard that the Coffin Turtles are on the rampage there. Better be careful" [Stacy]
"That's why I'm going there with Dana. To subdue them!" [Diana]
"Scary, but I heard that some coffins from the coffin turtle fetch a really high price" [Tio].
Taking a spot in the library, we see a familiar group. I guess Sister Dana also asked the other for their help so that she can finish her homework as fast as she could
"This multiple objective question is difficult... I think the answer is..." [Dana]
"The answer is A! I remember Nar teaching me in the library!" [Diana]
"You're right! My little sister really is a genius!" [Dana]
"Do you mind if we sit together?" [Kara]
"Please do" [Saintess Rumia]
"The more the merrier" [Princess Siti]
"This is a library though, so we still have to keep our voices down" [Veronica].
While our homework was mostly given by Teacher Tiara, Dana's homework was mostly given by Master Merlin. Every single subject got at least two pages of homework... So much writing! My hand... My beautiful handwriting is now becoming like the doctor's! I can't help but erase the answer and write it back, or else Teacher Tiara will definitely punish me for my bad handwriting.
As we slowly but surely finish our homework
"Have you heard? The casualties for the coffin turtle are really high!"
"Ever since Miss Saga stepped down as the SS Rank Adventure, more and more quests are piling up"
"I really wonder who will replace her"
"Can't the adventure guild decide this already? That's why guilds run mostly by commoners are inefficient!"
While they praise Sister Khamisah, Sister Dana and I can't help but feel annoyed when they belittle the Adventure Guild, but as a mature lady of the Vars family, I wouldn't fight back with words. We should behave ourselves and just let them talk.
"Hiccup... Hiccup..."
"What the... Hiccup! Why did we... Hiccup"
"Is Teacher... Merlin... Hiccup... Here!?"
And all my friends look at me. Of course, I wouldn't say anything nasty to them, but that doesn't mean I'd just leave them alone. Like Alaric once said, if no one knows you did something, it's like you never did anything.
"Did Master Merlin really teach you two curses like that, too?" [Liya]
"No. I know how to through observation" [Diana].
"I don't think Master Merlin is going to teach us how to cast curses, though. We know how though, as Diana said, mostly through observing her" [Princess Siti]
And between the three of us, Teacher Tiara is without a doubt the best when it comes to curses. I mean, THE THING is still around her, and yet she keeps it under control and uses it to her advantage.
"And done... Finally..." [Adnan]
"It's getting late. I wonder if the cafeteria is still open" [Marianne].
"My hand... My soft hand..." [Diana]
"I understand you... Even my hand hurts like no other" [Mara].
It's late and my hand doesn't feel like it's there anymore. On the bright side, at least we finished all our homework.
