Chapter 274 - 115. The Sound of Horseshoes in Klein Mountain (6000)
The carriage soon left the Saint Nali District and began to head in the northeast direction outside of Saint Nali City.
The overall terrain of Saint Nali is higher in the north and lower in the south, with nine rivers flowing out from the northern mountain range across the entire Saint Nali District. Seven of these rivers run from northwest to south, with only the Klein River and Balem River flowing from the northeast.
The northeastern peaks are significantly lower in altitude than the northwestern mountain range. North of the Klein River and beyond the Klein Mountain lies the enormous lake named after the Nali Kingdom, Nali Lake.
As previously mentioned, a bit further away from the outskirts of Saint Nali University is the Imperial Mausoleum of the Gedelin Royal Family, located near Nali Lake.
As private property of the Royal Family, not only does the area around Nali Lake host the mausoleums of successive kings, but it also has the National Treasury Museum, which stores the treasures of the Gedelin Royal Family, and the Royal Library, which houses their books.
In ancient times, that place was the treasury of Nali. Since the Council reforms, when the power of the Golden Palace was greatly diminished, it has become a symbolic memorial museum that rarely opens to the public, only during New Year celebrations or the Gedelin Festival.
This year was particularly unusual since Gedelin IX’s life was nearing its end, and the Golden Palace lacked the energy to hold such events.
Fisher’s carriage was now traveling towards Klein Mountain, having passed by Saint Nali University. Moli, seated inside the carriage, gazed longingly at the university growing more distant, only turning her attention away when she saw the deserted "South Continent demi-human Protection Association." She quietly moved to the front of the carriage and opened a slit to peek at Fisher, who was driving.
