"..." Azmond wore a perplexed look on his face.
'What is this old dude talking about? I asked for the precise location of the Nightmare Council, not so weird relationship advice.'
He was truly beginning to think that the Old City Lord had already gone senile.
"Whatever, old guy. Can you just tell in what approximate direction this Nightmare Council is located? You only gave extrely vague directions a few days ago," Azmond ntioned with a neutral look on his face.
Dealing with the Old City Lord required one to be completely unresponsive if they wished to get through to him. He had learned that the hard way after interacting with him.
"Don't worry, lad, I will never ntion this to anyone else as well; you have my word! And if you are truly adamant on going to find the trouble yourself, then you can take this map I had made when I went to the Nightmare Council a few months ago."
The City Lord followed up his words by throwing a rough paper map in the direction of Azmond.
*Pat*
Azmond caught the map and took a look at the details inside. And the first thing he couldn't help but notice was that the Great Wildlands Forest was depicted as a giant eastern-styled sword!
However, that made no sense to him.
Why would there be another sword-shaped forest on top of the one he found when he picked up Emu? Wouldn't that be too much of a coincidence? Or was he simply overthinking things again?
The City Lord, upon noticing the youngster's confusion, decided to bring 'it' up:
"You need not worry, young man; there are plenty of won you can find scattered throughout the lands. In fact, here are a few good places I would recomnd to you," he said while pointing out a few brothels in the nearby kingdoms.
"..." Azmond was once again left speechless at the pervertedness of the Old City Lord.
Wasn't he supposed to be a family man who would give up anything for his wife?? Why did he know all the 'sensual' places in the surrounding few dozen kingdoms then?
And speaking of the surrounding kingdoms and topography, the map the Old City Lord gave him accurately drew out all the kingdoms and major locations on the mapa map that had large italic letters on the top that read 'Divine Sun Province'.
A province that made up one of the 12 ten million mile-plus-wide provinces in the Continent of Azure Blank.
According to this map, the Divine Sun Province' was approximately 50 million miles in diater and extended out over around 1/9 of the Azure Blank Continent. Which would make it one of the larger provinces of the Azure Blank Continent.
And inside this 'Divine Sun Province', there were dozens of different kingdoms, with the highest ranked ones being the AquaRing, EarthHaven, and SubBurn Kingdomsall of which were kingdoms that ranked atop the highest levels of the 'hierarchy' in the Divine Sun Province.
All three of these kingdoms were Tier 8 Kingdomsextrely powerful kingdoms that numbered less than a few dozen in all of Asterion. Which would give the Divine Sun Province a relatively high ranking if all the Provinces were lined up one after the other.
Now, why the Great Wildlands Forestwhich served as the heart of the Divine Sun Provincewas in the shape of a sword eerily similar to the one that Emu 'originated' fromwas still unknown to Azmond, and he figured that the City Lord would likely know nothing more than he did on the matter.
Which ultimately led to yet another thing that Azmond had to figure out the mystery of as he got stronger and stronger and explored more and more of the world!
After all, he had been limited to less than a thousandth of all of Asterion, if even that much.
There were still so many places Azmond wanted to explore and conquer on his journey to the peak of power in Asterion. And he wouldn't allow anything else but full marks when it ca to his exploration of Asterion.
You could call him a gaming completionist in a way!
.....
"If you wish to find a larger map that expands to the entirety of the Azure Blank Continent and even the rest of Asterion, then you will need to go out and find maps like that yourself.
After all, information is also power in this world, and information at such a high level doesn't co free," The City Lord said with an aged expression.
It looked like he had gone through quite the effort to get this map of the Divine Sun Provincean effort that likely cost him billions of gold coins, or the equivalent in spiritual stone's.
Nonetheless, Eldric didn't dwell on such a depressing topic for long as he looked back at Azmond and resud his explanation of the general marked locations in the Divine Sun Province.
He didn't have to do such a thing, but it appeared like the young lad had essentially zero knowledge of the world background of Asterion. So the City Lord figured he would give him everything he needed in return for 'helping' him with his Ariana problem.
It was a 'helping' that Azmond had yet to even learn that he agreed to...
Eldric inford Azmond of the details regarding the limited degree of the map of the Divine Sun Province, as he told him about the rest of the kingdoms and sects such as the 'SilverWood Kingdom', 'Crimson Valley', 'Jade Kingdom', 'Divine Tiger Sect', 'Whisperwind Sect', and a few more.
All of such kingdoms and sects ranked anywhere from Tier 1 to Tier 7 and took up varying degrees of land.
A Tier 1 sect or kingdom would usually only get a few dozen miles to a few hundred miles of land, considering they only had Foundation Establishnt Realm Cultivators at the very pinnacle of their hierarchies. Which could even be considered quite strong in most low-level areas.
After all, cultivation wasn't as easy as Azmond, and even Crystalline made it out to be. It was a process that required one to first have talent, and then it needed one to utilize that talent in a way that would allow them to progress through the Realms faster than their Lifespans burned away.
