Chapter 537: Look, the effect is so good
Altoria shot Reiger a glare.
"There’s nothing going on!" Altoria said, annoyed, "Forget about that. Since you’re awake now, let’s get ready to leave!"
After saying this, Altoria grabbed the Staff of Selection that had been leaning against the wall since last night and, with a slightly irritable stride, headed toward the outside.
"What a restless Child of Prophecy."
Reiger watched the scene with a suppressed laugh and silently unlocked the tower’s barrier, allowing the double doors at the entrance of the hall to slowly swing open.
The Fortress Tower, created by the Magic "Create Fortress," was impenetrable by anyone other than the caster of the spell.
Therefore, unless Reiger, the caster who had activated the Magic, agreed, the doors of Fortress Tower would not open.
"Hmph! ╭(╯^╰)╮"
Having reached the door, Altoria seemed to notice this; seeing the double doors open, she snorted coldly at Reiger before stepping out.
"[Cleanse]."
Reiger then used a domestic spell to wash away the dirt on his body, skipping the steps of washing his face and brushing his teeth.
"You walk slower."
Having done that, Reiger called out, following Altoria closely behind.
"Hurry up!"
Altoria still appeared huffy, somewhat childishly so.
The two of them walked one after the other out of the tower and onto the grassland outside.
"Rumble rumble...!"
The tower behind them slowly sank into the ground as if it had fulfilled its purpose.
In a while, the Fortress Tower that had stood on the grassland all night long vanished completely into the underground.
And the spot where the tower had stood showed no hole or damage; it was as if the Fortress Tower that had been there up until just now had never existed.
This phenomenon indeed amazed Altoria once again.
"Can Magic really do something like this?"
This thought cropped up once more in Altoria’s mind.
Reiger, paying no mind to Altoria, said after canceling the maintenance of "Create Fortress,"
"We say we’re setting out, but in which direction should we start walking to encounter the nearest city?"
Reiger’s question finally brought a sense of calm back to Altoria.
The fairy girl forced herself to stop thinking about that embarrassing matter that made her feel too ashamed to face anyone, and after pondering seriously for a moment, she addressed Reiger.
"If you’re sure Tintagel is in that direction, then our current location is likely not too far from the central part."
Saying this, the fairy girl began to introduce to Reiger the general situation of Fairy Country Britannia.
Fairy Country Britannia is an island, a fairy island floating on the sea.
The capital of the island is Camelot, which is also the city where the current queen of the Fairy Country resides. In the eyes of some villagers in Tintagel Village, that city has been likened to a fortress of evil.
With Camelot as its center, Fairy Country Britannia is divided into the North and the South.
Most of the fairies in the Fairy Country live in the South, while fewer fairies reside in the North.
Tintagel is neither in the South nor in the North, but on the western coast of the island. If one travels east along the main road, they will enter the central region centered around Camelot.
Upon entering the central region, if one heads north, they would first reach a city called Gloucester and then Camelot.
If one heads south, they would reach the city with a grand cathedral – Salisbury.
"If we are indeed in the central region now, then the nearest cities to us should be either Salisbury or Gloucester."
Altoria continued to explain to Reiger.
"Gloucester is known as the city of fashion, with many luxurious shops. Most of the trendy items in the Fairy Country can be found there."
"Salisbury is the largest city in the South and the most free-spirited place in Fairy Country Britannia. It has a population of around two hundred thousand primarily made up of fairies from the Earth, Wind, and Fang clans, as well as humans who have gained independence."
"These two cities are owned by the clan leaders of the Clan of Wings and the Clan of Wind respectively, who are the lords of these cities."
"It’s up to you to choose which one to go to."
After listening to Altoria’s explanation, Reiger fell into deep thought.
According to the description in the original texts, Reiger was quite clear about the power structure of Fairy Country Britannia.
The Queen is undoubtedly the supreme ruler of Britannia.
Below the Queen are the fairy clan leaders of the six major clans and the lords of the various cities.
The clan leaders of the six major clans each lead a fairy clan and possess their own territories, making them the most powerful nobles just below the Queen.
The Elf Knights who are directly under the Queen’s command also receive noble status and territories. Though they do not always get along well with the clan leaders of the six major clans, in terms of status alone, the Elf Knights who have received noble status and territories are not much inferior to the clan leaders of the six major clans.
Of the clan leaders of the six major clans, not considering the two in the North, the other four govern their territories in the South.
These four clan leaders each rule over one city.
The grand cathedral city of Salisbury is governed by the clan leader of Wind.
