[1-200] THE EVOLUTION OF A GOBLIN TO THE PEAK

Chapter 163 - Fersch Dukedom

Souta followed Lumilia's suggestion so before they reach the Fersch Dukedom they split up with old man Jared.

Old man Jared went inside the dukedom with caravan while Souta and co went to the inside from the other gate of the dukedom.

"We're here," Souta said to his comrades as he looked up at the fifteen-meter tall gate of the dukedom.

The people that were going in and out of the dukedom could be counted in two hands. It wasn't a famous place so this sight was natural for this dukedom.

Souta and co. went forward before the guards stopped them on their track.

"Who are you? And where's your identification ID?" The guards asked them. They looked at their face and found that they were not from here.

Souta looked at his comrades and said, "Show them your adventurer's ID." He then took out his ID and showed it to the guard. Lumilia, Bryan, and Brando followed his instruction and showed their ID to the guards.

The guards took a look at their ID. They found that Souta and co were just adventurers.

"I'm a C-rank adventurer from the Hebrei Kingdom and this is my party," Souta said to guards as he introduced himself and his party members.

"C-rank?" The guards were surprised when they found that Souta was a C-rank adventurer. There were only a few C-rank adventurers in their dukedom so it was surprising to see a C-rank adventurer coming in their land.

"Sorry to bother you, Sir. And welcome to Fersch Dukedom. I hope you enjoy your time here." The guards bowed their heads and said politely. They gave back the IDs in their hands to Souta and co.

The guards finished checking their identity so it's not a problem for them let to them inside the dukedom.

"Okay, thanks," Souta said and thanked them before he started to walk. He stepped inside the dukedom along with his comrades.

Brando turned his head and glanced at the guards. He then looked at Souta and asked, "Why are they polite to us? Their attitude towards us turned completely one hundred eighty degrees."

"It's not that surprising. I'm a C-rank adventurer and we're from the Hebrei Kingdom. The power level in a land like this is actually low as most of the people that reach the level of C-rank went to the huge countries like Hebrei Kingdom." Souta paused for a moment before he added, "Small territory like this one is very weak. They were all afraid of the power of the large countries and the people there. C-rank in Hebrei Kingdom isn't a very big deal but here in this place, they became someone powerful."

"There are countless C-rank in Hebrei Kingdom and even the elite guards of the noble households have the power of a C-rank," Lumilia added. The C-rank was just the minimum power to become an elite guard in noble households. She knew this because she was the daughter of a noble head.

"I see..." Brando nodded his head in understanding.

"That's also one of the reasons why a place like this wouldn't grow into the level of Hebrei Kingdom. The C-rank wouldn't be able to contain themselves and head to the large countries for more benefits." Souta said to them.

"Those large countries are silently pressuring every small country near them. Silently taking every valuable treasure in front of them. That's why no countries right now rose to the level of large countries. No, there's one country..." Lumilia didn't even manage to finish her sentence as Souta said the answer before her.

"The Mechanic Country. Twenty years ago since the Mechanic Country was founded and in that time they managed to reach the level of the large countries. And right now it is one of the most prominent countries in the entire Giza Continent." Souta said.
