In truth, Ryan wasn't interested in geography, but for revenge, he had to learn everything about that prince and his country, and calculate all the dangers he and his family might face.
If his family is going to be in danger, he must find a way to take revenge without arousing suspicion.
Then Anna began to talk about why crossing the desert had become relatively easy.
"That desert between us and Kavalon is the land of the ork , if you have heard of them."
"ork?"
Their group was passing several farmers who were looking at the soldiers with eyes full of enthusiasm and confidence. After one of the farmers heard Ryan say the word "ork," Ryan saw that he began to tremble.
Anna saw it, but she paid no attention to the farmer.
"Yes, Ork are huge monsters with tribes. I don't know much about them because I've only heard about them."
"Because of them, crossing the desert was difficult for the two kingdoms, but after the peace treaty concluded four years earlier between the two kingdoms, the two kingdoms began to cooperate in fighting the ork. In the end, a treaty was concluded with the ork."
Ryan was shocked to hear that they had made a treaty with monsters.
"A treaty? With monsters?"
"Yes, there are humans who can understand the ork language, so the two kingdoms were able to communicate with the ork tribes and make a treaty with them."
"After the treaty, trade between the two kingdoms increased, and many merchants began traveling between the two kingdoms."
Ryan then asked,
"And what did Ork gain from making that treaty?"
"I don't know; in fact, no one knows except the royal families of the two kingdoms and the people who negotiated with Ork."
Ryan was curious about the price the two kingdoms had paid.
But he was curious about something else; at the beginning of Anna's speech, she said that the continent they were on was called Arthalia, something he had also read in a book before.
So he wondered if there were other continents in this world, a question he would have asked now.
"You mentioned earlier that our kingdom is located on the continent of Arthalia, so I was wondering if there are other continents as well."
Anna yawned, although Ryan couldn't see her but he heard her yawn, then she said
"Yes, there is another continent, as mentioned, which was called Novaria."
"Was there no communication between our continent and that continent?"
"It was there, but it stopped after the treaty made 200 years ago, which prohibits communication and also prohibits trade between the kingdoms of this continent and the other continent."
"Also, two years ago, some adventurers discovered a new continent, but some of them never returned."
"Why?"
"According to my information, not all adventurers were able to enter that continent, but those who entered never returned. However, I heard rumors that someone close to the royal family entered last year and returned."
'Three continents'
So far, three continents have been discovered in this world.
'This is dangerous.'
The existence of continents was a good thing when kingdoms exchanged knowledge, but as things stand in this world, people here are obsessed with power and control.
'I need to become strong quickly'
His goal was to become strong enough to protect his family from danger, so he had to learn many things, even small ones, as they might help him someday.
Therefore, he decided to learn swordsmanship from Anna on his way to the academy.
Ryan raised his head to look at Anna, who was now looking at the map.
"We are close to Terak."
Anna paused briefly, then called to one of the knights and gave him orders.
The knight began shouting so everyone would hear Anna's orders:
"We are going to Terak."
Then everyone changed direction and began heading towards the city called Terak.
Ryan repeated the name:
"Terak."
