The Vastness of Magical Destiny

```

After sending Woodleigh and Montrey away, Komer began to ponder how to utilize this extremely favorable situation.

The Barbarians of the Cordillera Wilderness had always been a formidable barrier between Caucasus and Flanders. Apart from the vast territory, a more significant reason was the unruly Barbarians living in this region. In fact, the terrain of the entire Cordillera Wilderness was not too complicated; besides the Baden Gold Mountain Range stretching sinuously not far from the North Mediterranean coast, the main terrain features of the whole Cordillera Wilderness were high plateaus and some gently rolling hill areas.

Although Komer had long controlled the Flanders Region, he had not considered linking his two territories thousands of miles apart by land until he took control of the Sanjia Tribe. After all, to any sane person, the Cordillera Wilderness seemed to be an insurmountable natural moat, and the Barbarians would never allow anyone the audacity of connecting the Wilderness they regarded as their hinterland. Even when the Sanjia Tribe was completely prostrate at Komer’s feet, he did not entertain this idea.

However, the visits from Woodleigh and Montrey seemed to spark some interest in him.

The abundant resources of the Cordillera Wilderness had always been the main attraction for mortals—Magic Metal ore, Magic Crystal mines, and precious Magical Beasts. These were extremely rare in the controlled areas of mortals on the Blue Continent, but no one was willing to risk their lives for a venture into the Wilderness; even if you found what you were looking for, you could not take it with you because first, you would not be able to get past the Barbarians.

But now, all of this seemed possible.

The northern area controlled by the Sanjia Tribe was firmly in Komer’s hands, but he hoped to enter the North Cordillera Wilderness in a gentler manner, avoiding irritating the older, more conservative Barbarians as much as possible. He did not want to rush and ruin the wonderful situation he had meticulously cultivated. The central Cordillera Wilderness had always been the activity area of minor tribes, but as the northern attractions became increasingly significant, many small tribes had already left the Central Region to join the trend northward in search of a better life. In fact, the central Wilderness was in a semi-vacuum state.
