The Golden Experience Point [Part 1]

Chapter 199: "Nobles and Commoners"

If possible, I wanted to strengthen Yoroizaka-san as well, but the balance is uncertain as I had the experience points absorbed by the Adamandux. Depending on the situation, Yoroizaka-san might also need a significant amount of experience points for reincarnation. It seems like I'll need to wait a bit longer.

There's nothing to do now in terms of events or investments.

In that case, it wouldn't hurt to indulge in hobbies for the future.

"If I'm thinking of creating a Holy King... Maybe it's a good idea to stir things up in the Wells Kingdom. After all, there are practically no human nations left other than there. I remember that Hakuma went in that direction. It feels like it's been quite a while, but maybe I'll go take a look."

The Wells Kingdom is a country located north of Hiers. Due to the presence of monsters in the border areas like the Abon Mercat Highlands, separating it from Hiers, there hasn't been much interaction between the two nations. That was the case.

The main industries are forestry and agriculture. Agriculture is practiced to some extent in almost every country on the continent due to limited inter-country exchanges. However, Wells seems to particularly emphasize livestock farming.

Livestock is exported to the neighboring country Pearl, and through Pearl, timber is further exported to Shape.

In this world with many monsters and challenging trade, the livestock, which seems to be some kind of domesticated magical creature, is used to pull timber. This way, the entire caravan is sold to the Pearl Kingdom, and afterward, Pearl merchants sell the timber to Shape.

However, this trade has not been very active recently.

"It seems like Lyra is buying up the timber lately. If selling timber to Aural is more profitable than selling livestock to Pearl, there might be farmers shifting from livestock farming to forestry. If that happens, it could eventually lead to trade friction involving Pearl's food situation. Lyra really doesn't do anything good."

Originally, the end-user Shape, where the timber flowed, currently receives no timber at all. This is not directly related to Lyra. Due to disputes between cities surrounding the devastated Neuschloss, the mutual national sentiments in the border zone between Pearl and Shape have worsened. Since Wells's timber is exported to Shape through Pearl, if the relationship between Pearl and Shape deteriorates, circulation of Wells-produced timber would also cease.

Similar to magical creatures like Newts and Lizardmen, the growth cycle of trees in this world is quick. While they don't grow in a matter of weeks, it doesn't take decades either.

Perhaps this is a design choice to ensure that resources do not deplete regardless of how much NPCs or players consume. In that case, there is a possibility that the underground resources of the Liebe Great Forest will eventually revive. It might be a good idea to fill in the once-dug tunnels, wait for some time, and then dig again.

If that's the case, shifting from livestock farming to forestry wouldn't be such an unreasonable thing to do.

Wells's nobility, like others, lives a life separate from commoners, as mentioned on social media.

The players who made these posts did not seem to have positive feelings towards the nobility. However, having a privileged class like Noble Humans to maintain strength and privileges for the next generation is considered a natural societal system.

Even if individuals of different races marry, it seems children can only be born in the pre-reincarnation race. In other words, the Noble Human race consists only of purebloods, and to pass on power and privileges to the next generation, nobles must marry each other.
