Chapter 304
“The Blaster Sea, you say? The one touching the edge of the Great Desert?”
“Yes. There are rumors of pirates appearing lately, causing logistics to be completely blocked. Since it’s the only route to cross to the East, well. Thanks to that, there’s been a slight increase in merchants entering the Gaia continent across the desert.”
“Ah, I see. Since Ruswena borders Hawan, you’d naturally get news faster. Clifford has never officially ventured up to the desert.”
“The same goes for Burgos. We have Clifford to our right, and above us is the civil war region. Haha.”
“Is having Clifford there some kind of problem? Hahaha. You’d have had trouble getting there even without us. Who can claim to control the desert?”
“Oh my, that’s not what I meant, but Burgos’s climate does somewhat resemble the desert. For people living in a place that produces such delicious wine, the desert must be quite challenging!”
The delegations from Ruswena, Clifford, and Burgos were mingling together, sharing information about their respective countries.
Though sharp retorts occasionally crossed between them, everyone could brush them aside without taking offense. Partly due to being slightly drunk, and partly because they were all talented individuals selected to accompany their kings to foreign countries, they valued the exchange of information highly.
Moreover, with an alliance between the three nations becoming increasingly certain, even with Bariel’s officials present, they couldn’t suppress the atmosphere of subtle solidarity among themselves.
