Chapter 630: The outer city of balhae i


    The sun is shining bright on the sky, its sunlight shining down upon the meadows in the distance.


    Arge vast emptynd with green grass could be seen from the distance. There are beautiful hills with a lot of trees and there is sheep and deer''s running around.


    There is also small stream of water from the river nearby where some of the people would use as a ce to get their water.


    Most of the water in thends of the three Kingdoms is clear and clean, it had a certain taste to it that is unlike any water in the Human Continent.


    There is even hill water, water thate from the hills that is said to have great effect to one health


    Thend of the Three Kingdoms, thend which is called by the Thirteen tribes as the Shadonds


    It is and of the cursed. But before the Great Prophet Nasrana came onto thesends, it was and of abundance and blessing.


    The Great Prophet was persecuted, and was treated badly and upon them a curse wasid.


    Darkness shrouded theirnds and while it gave the people of the Three Great tribes with great abilities, it is a sign of mercy and also a chain to hold them down in this ursednd.


    The Darkness did not mean that it is dark as night. Everyday looks like a cloudy day in the Shadonds.


    To other outside of the Shadonds, they would see an area ofnd that is covered by dark mist and dark clouds.


    The people of the Thirteen Tribe called it the Shadonds because some people said that when you enter the Shadonds, if you are unlucky you would meet terrifying mystical creature that would rob you of your shadow.


    And when they rob you of your shadow, they have a hold on you.


    The only people that would not have their shadow taken is the people who were already in the Shadonds since the beginning.


    The descendent of those people of the past.


    No matter whether they sail out from the New World and went to other continents, they would be haunted by dreams, calling them home.


    Of course, some of the stories that the Thirteen Tribe had said about the Shadonds most of them are not the truth.


    But out of the many exaggerations of the things that lurks in the darkness of the Shadonds, there is some that is the truth.


    One of the misconception of people who have never been inside the Shadonds is that the entire people living in the Shadonds lives in a darkness


    If that is true, then the people of the Shadonds probably would have blinded themselves when the sunlight broke through the Darkness.


    There is a Sun that shines upon theirnd. But unlike the bright Sun that illuminates all, where people of the world could bathe in its shine, the sunlight inside the Shadonds, is like a sunlight that is dimmed.


    As such, their crops are not as bountiful as the people living outside of the Shadonds. It is for this reason that the Three Great Tribes had always traded food with the Ten Tribes outside of the Shadonds.


    They exchange the cores of Darkspawn, meats of rare beast and all kinds of other exotic things that exist in the Shadonds with grains and other food stuff.


    That has been the way of life for the Thirteen tribe in the New World, and the tribes in the Shadonds.


    Thousands of years had passed, and some people forget the stories of the Pancadongeng, the tales of the elders of the good old days.


    When the Battle between Good and Evil, of the prophecy of Asrana Mahava and Maharai Vasir nears, the Darkness of thend is stripped away and this ursednd once again revert to its appearance thousands of years ago, full of life, energy and blessings.


    And so many people now believe the stories. Thend that is once called the cursednd of the New World is now one of blessing.


    All of the Thirteen Tribes that resides on the fertile ins of the New World now all migrate toward thend that is once shrouded with Darkness.


    A tall wall that appears suddenly, a sound of a horn that echoes in the sky, Darkness that covers the world and Darkspawn that appears in the night, all of it seems to prove the divine words of the Great Prophet.


    One could see such beautiful hills and clean rivers not only outside the outer city walls, but also in the outer city.


    Arial marveled at the fertilends that he had seen. It only has just been around a week or so and yet, he could see such drastic changes to the environment.


    He has been in his castle for the past couple of days. And he had not ride outside of the castle


    But today, as he rides out toward the outer city, he could see that the changes are astounding.


    The Empire had Eden as the breadbasket of the Empire.


    But if he had the Shadonds, it could probably feed all the people of the Empire and have a lot more excess than they could ever have


    There is magic in thisnd. That is the only way to exin why the nt and trees here grow so quickly.


    He once read an ancient text that spoke of the world when magic is still prevalent and mages is everywhere.


    At that time, it is said that evenmon people prosper.


    Trees back then is taller than today.


    And it is not only taller it is also bigger than it is today.


    Some trees are even said to reach the clouds and some of the fruit could only be plucked by mages that could control the wind.


    The trees sprout suchrge and juicy fruit that it could feed a small vige. Then there are the rivers in those magic era.


    It is said that the rivers are clear and one could see to the bottom.


    Most of themon people back then live around these rivers and they catch the fishes that inhabited the fish


    The sea is bountiful with all kinds of sea resources.


    When one breathes the air, one could feel energy rousing through one body.


    Anyone that breathes the air during that era could feel their mind clearing up and because of the air in the past is quite different from the air of today, even themon people had strong body and rarely fell sick.


    When one bathed in rivers, all fatigue and dirt is washed off.


    Some schrs even think that the description of the world when magic was prevalent is too exaggerated.


    But Arial seeing how the ce he used to pass turns into such a fertilend suitable for farming, he could not help but thought maybe the ancient text did not lie.


    When he marched here with his army passing that forest in front of the Wall, while thend itself is full of green grass it was certainly not as like it is today.


    And he is not the only one that is surprised.


    The soldiers that ising with him, people of his Empire that follows the ship of the Two Great Generals, also look at thisnd with amazement.


    Arial smiles.


    Even he who had seen many things in this world is shocked. how could his soldiers who some had never even step out of the Human Continent not get shocked?


    Arial had known that during the Days of Trial as it is called in some ancient text of the Thirteen Tribe magic would once again reign in the Novus Gaia.


    But he had never thought that the effect of magic is like this.
