Chapter 17: First battle in this world
But before leaving, he had to go through a whole process where they registered his identity card and other things on the walls outside the city. It took 30 minutes.
He needed a unique registration card like this one for this type of thing. And even though it was fake, it was very difficult to tell in this day and age. They didn’t have an authentic registration system, and illegal operations could easily forge their only one.
That’s why there’s a famous saying in this world: His identity tells you who he is, but his true identity proves it.
It refers to the fact that anyone can be fake, based on what you see, and it’s only in difficult or special situations that they reveal who they really are.
It’s clear that many people use fake identities from time to time.
The City of Velharthe, capital of the southern part of the empire, has roads connecting practically the entire empire. It is the most important city in the empire’s economy, surpassing even the capital city itself.
It is surrounded by mountains in the background, which are shaped like large skeletons of ancient animals, enormous in size and with an amazing bone structure. These mountains serve as a natural source of protection against powerful beasts and strong winds that occasionally arrive. They also serve as a habitat for all kinds of beasts.
While the front and sides are dotted with small hills, villages, and extensive forests, natural dungeons and even beast villages gather to attack the great city occasionally.
Among these is a Swamp Forest to the northwest of the city called the Swamp Forest of Dry Bones. It is a relatively powerful and large natural dungeon connected to several other nearby dungeons. Entering it is dangerous, but hunting in the Small and Middle Wing is sufficient for people below level 50.
