Chapter 265: How a Knight Deals with Beasts (1)
Merchants, mercenaries, scholars, and adventurers from other continents who entered the South were often most shocked by one thing—the climate and environment.
More precisely, by how different the weather and terrain were from one region to another.
For example, a southern territory they had visited just the day before might have had bright sunshine and refreshing breezes, yet another region could be perpetually covered in clouds, experiencing nearly three hundred days of rainfall a year.
Some villages nestled in the mountains felt as warm as spring all year round, while others—despite lacking any coastline or even a single river—were oppressively hot and humid.
It was an environment possible only in the South, blessed by Mysticism. First-time visitors often found themselves struggling to adapt and sometimes even collapsed due to the drastic differences.
Some scholars theorized that these erratic conditions were what made southern knights significantly stronger than their counterparts from other continents, though no definitive explanation had ever been found.
The South followed the natural cycle of four seasons, yet the conditions within each region were anything but predictable. No one could say what Mysticism had passed through a place and left its mark.
With that in mind—
Hooouuuk...!
It was not particularly strange for a domain to be covered in mist all year round.
Squelch, squelch.
Shrouded in perpetual fog, this land remained in a state of twilight even in the middle of the day.
