Where is central canada
At night, they would come ashore and sleep in a house made of ice. Andre also built the house, so there was no need to worry about the house disappearing while they were sleeping. After a little over a month, they were able to move with Alaska on their left hand.
“Do you know where central Canada is?”
“I don’t know. Canada has three monarchies, essentially.”
There is a queen who was installed by the British Empire when Canada became independent. For the next 200 years, a princess has always succeeded to the throne and become queen. Although she is the weakest in power, she has the highest status because she can draw support from the British Empire.
The Northern White Bear Dynasty, which occupied the most land, was founded about a hundred years ago. Although he was a great prince, he could not overcome the stubbornness of the traditional nobles who wanted to continue the queen’s tradition, so he left for the north. He has continued to govern well for generations, and many people hope to migrate to the north.
The most powerful dynasty is the Southern Horned Deer Dynasty. They are located in a region where monsters are rampant. They have one noble as a puppet king and their mercenaries control the country. They have the smallest population and occupy the least amount of land, but they are the most powerful in battle.
“Most of the nobles who are on good terms with me are nobles of the Maple Dynasty. Geographically, it may be in the central part, but it is located between the Southern and Northern Dynasties, so it could be called the central part of Canada.”
The British Empire only trades with the Maple Dynasty. The Northern Dynasty’s wild animal skins and fine wood must go through the Maple Dynasty, and the Southern Dynasty’s magic stones and high-grade monster byproducts must go through the Maple Dynasty. Since it is the most rumored, I decided to visit the Maple Dynasty first.
As we got closer to Canada, a whale appeared. It was so big that at first glance you might mistake it for a monster, and it had a blue body color.
“It’s a blue whale. It’s the guardian of the sea.”
Andre stood up, clasped his hands together, and bowed reverently to the whale. The whales that follow the set paths in the sea are the guardians of the sea route. If you follow the blue whale, you will not encounter monsters. Most of the sea routes now have been discovered thanks to the blue whale.
The polar bear guarding the iceberg, the blue whale guarding the sea route, and the parrot that conveys messages over short distances are mysterious creatures. The parrot, which exists only in South America, is wild but lives close to humans.
Parrots listen to human speech and ‘pass on’ words they deem important to other parrots. The parrot that receives the message repeats the message out loud. The other parrot that receives the message also repeats it, and in less than a day, the message spreads throughout the entire South American continent.
Most monsters are not noticeable, but seeing a blue whale made me feel much better. And I felt good about witnessing a mysterious being. However, that feeling only lasted until I landed in Canada. Upon arriving in Canada, Shingi encountered the lives of ordinary people who were skin and bones.
‘It’s the same in Russia. In places where there are no fights with monsters, people aren’t treated like people.’
The Korean Empire is also the same in that the nobles look down on the commoners. However, since they need a lot of people to win the fight against the monsters, they put a lot of effort into feeding the commoners. However, in both Russia and Canada, the lives of the commoners seemed very difficult.
“In Canada, like the Korean Empire, nobility is determined by bloodline. There is not enough land for farming, so they survive by relying on trade with the British Empire. However, as the dynasty split into three, competition secretly arose, making life increasingly difficult for the people.”
The White Bear Dynasty strictly controls the population. If the population exceeds the appropriate number, those deemed useless are expelled. Therefore, the White Bear Dynasty is the best place to live.
The Maple Dynasty is indifferent to the people. It is a place where only nobles and soldiers can live, and the lives of the people are extremely miserable. Among those who have difficulty making a living, the capable ones head to the domain of the White Bear Dynasty, and the incompetent ones head to the Horned Deer Dynasty.
The Horned Deer Dynasty is a place where people die every day because of fighting monsters. Although it claims to be a king and a country, it is left to its own devices without anyone to run the country. This is because it is a country created by mercenaries who do not want to pay taxes to the Maple Dynasty and put up puppet nobles. Since it is a country that exempts all taxes, the national treasury is completely empty.
Many people die from monsters, but there are also many who fall victim to crime. The Horned Deer Dynasty is a hotbed of criminals. However, thanks to them blocking monsters, the queen and nobles of the Maple Dynasty, who live more comfortably, officially recognized the Horned Deer Dynasty.
“This is a country that is of no help to humanity.”
Russia is planning to reclaim the land of the monster by building a cooling system for a large engine. Canada, by comparison, has no intention of reclaiming the land in the south. The royal family and the nobility are only preoccupied with living a life of luxury.
“The royalty and nobles are mostly fallen nobles who came over from Europe. However, the people are mostly indigenous people who originally lived here. If we recover the land in the south, the indigenous people will claim their rights, so the royalty and nobles are not proactive at all.”
Most of the people are brown-skinned indigenous people. They were pushed by monsters to the land of Canada. Originally, there were not many people living in the land of Canada. Since the land was not theirs, the indigenous people were subordinate to the royalty and nobles who claimed to be the owners of this land.
But if they expand south, the natives will return to their lands, and they will claim that they are the owners of those lands. It is much better for the Canadian royals and aristocrats to stay the way they are now.
“Why don’t the natives just go south together?”
“They have no king. They worship nature as their god and believe that all people are equal.”
The natives believe that all people are equal. They do not have leaders such as chiefs or shamans, but they are merely representatives of the tribe, leaders, and wise men. They have no right to impose their will on others.
“The reason they serve the king and the nobles is because they recognize them as the owners of this land. They accept the obligations they have been given out of a sense of debt, thinking that they are living off someone else’s land.”
If the land in the south is reclaimed, 70% of the soldiers will desert the country. That is why the Horned Deer Dynasty, which maintains the country through the byproducts of magic stones and monsters, does not even think about advancing south. This is because the land of the Horned Deer Dynasty has the highest percentage of indigenous people.
The god was twisted. He was a precious prince who had not yet become an adult, but was running around trying to save the world. He had been sailing the sea for nearly two months on a ship made of ice. He was alone with a man wearing a leopard-print bikini.
“What undignified people you are.”
Shingi, who had long since forgotten his tadpole days, harshly criticized the royal family and nobility of Canada. At that moment, people in uniforms ran toward the two. Judging by the maple-shaped patterns drawn on their chests, they seemed to be a unit directly under the royal family, not ordinary soldiers.
“Please identify yourself.”
“This is Count Andre, a high-ranking wizard of the British Empire. He is also the prince and great wizard of the Republic of Korea.”
Shingi introduced himself directly to the soldier who kept looking at him despite Andre’s words.
“He is the third prince of the Republic of Korea, the lord of Gyeonggi Province, and a great wizard with the title of count.”
One of the soldiers whose clothes were a little more flashy than the others immediately saluted.
“I am the leader of the 39th Squad of the Royal Guard. It is an honor to serve you, distinguished guests.”
The two headed to the post station under the guidance of the squad leader. The post station was equipped with not only an engine carriage but also a telephone for long-distance calls.
“Oh, Marquis Berkham. I am honored that you still remember André’s voice.”
After finishing the conversation with the Marquis, the squad leader greeted the two with extreme courtesy. He asked for their understanding, saying that the engine carriage could not depart at will because the road was often blocked by snow. Then Shingi opened his mouth.
“If the road is blocked, can’t you just clear the snow? I think it would be okay to just turn the pinwheel a little.”
“That’s right. If the Archmage is here, we don’t have to worry about the road being blocked.”
Due to the stubbornness of the two, the engine carriage had no choice but to set off. When the road was a little blocked, Andre used his transformation magic to clear the way, and when it was greatly blocked, he used his divine magic to clear the way.
“A whirlwind of snowflakes.”
Several pinwheels made of ice began to spin after being buried in the snow blocking the path. As they spun, snowflakes scattered in all directions. After using it a few times and getting the feel of it, the divine spirit quickly removed the snow blocking the path. It was not logical thinking, but the wizard’s intuition that made him realize how to use it.
‘You are truly amazing. You use magic as naturally as breathing.’
It is because of the star-shaped tattoo on the left ear. The wisdom of the gold dragon enhances the ability to control magic. Since the ice affinity is 10, the control of ice magic is 10. With the wisdom of the gold dragon added, it has reached a state where magic can be realized as imagined.
After going to the world of the gods and returning with greatly developed intuition, he has matured through several crises and is now no longer ashamed of being called a great wizard. Thanks to this, he has an excellent imagination when it comes to using magic. His understanding of magic is still at level 6, so he cannot cooperate with other wizards.
The snowy landscape of Canada was different from that of Russia. The landscape was covered in white snow, but Russia felt desolate, while Canada felt vast. After three days of driving by engine carriage, we arrived at the estate of Marquis Bergam.
Marquis Berkam resembles a bandit. He is the same size and face. However, contrary to his appearance, he has a meticulous personality and is said to be the real power in the Maple Dynasty.
“Count André has brought an honored guest. The third prince of the Republic of Korea?”
“Yes. I came to Canada on important business.”
The Marquis of Berkham was suspicious of the standard Nottingham dialect of the gentleman. Only the nobility and the con artists speak the Nottingham dialect accurately. Judging from the gentleman’s attire, there was no reason to suspect him of being a con artist.
“If you came through the British Empire, it would be the other way around. What happened to your attendants?”
“Because of circumstances, only the two of us came over using magic.”
“If it’s not something secret, please tell me. I will do my best to help you.”
The original goal of the Marquis of Berkham was to go to the British Empire. Although he is one of the most powerful men in Canada, he would rather live as an ordinary nobleman in the British Empire. However, it is not bad to have one more path called the Republic of Korea.
“I came to find an earring. The earring for the right ear.”
Marquis Berkam flinched at Shingi’s words. Shingi expressed his gratitude for his intuition. He did not hide it because his intuition told him that it was better to be honest.
“A treasure of the Canadian crown. A pair of silver, round pearl-shaped earrings.”
“I don’t think I’ll give it up easily.”
“Yes, but you are a very lucky man. The royal family is in a difficult situation right now, and they have no choice but to accept your earrings as payment.”
Shingi put down his teacup and looked straight at the Marquis.
“There was a 5th-grade monster near the capital. It was a one-legged, bird-like monster that breathed fire from its mouth. It kept burning trees and starting fires, so we had to ask the British Empire to kill it. However, a 6th-grade monster made its nest in the place where the 5th-grade monster disappeared.”
