Chapter 74 - 74-Fort Castle
Persia entered the New Region of the Great Forest without any problems. The New Region or the Korr Region was quite strange in Geography and Biography. It was different from the Occidental Region of the Great Forest, which made sense as the Korr Region was a Rare Region within the Realm of Piksyon. The only thing Persia could describe the Korr Region was the word Enchanting. The Difference was clear, and the Difference made Persia curious about the remaining parts of the Realm.
After walking for a while within the Forest of the Korr Region, Persia found a Dirt Road leading somewhere within the Region. Persia had no guide of the Region, so she followed the Dirt Road in hopes of meeting civilization for the first time. Although she heard the existence of nations from Ego and saw it with her World Eye, She never saw it personally, which made her excited about the New Region as it was one of the places where she didn\'t set her World Eye.
Though, Persia didn\'t know the existence of the Regions. She considered them as different places instead of one whole place divided into Regions. It was expected for Persia as she didn\'t have any information about the World. She observed it from afar and assumed for herself. Meeting the inhabitants of the World or other Daemon Monsters that were civilized would be a good experience.
As Persia walked through the Dirt Road with a Neutral and Emotionless Expression plastered on her face, She noticed a Tower in the Distance. It was a Giant Tower that protruded from a Heavily Fortified Castle. She furrowed her eyebrow after seeing it. She didn\'t feel fear, but she felt curiosity in its instead. Persia looked as if she was furrowing her eyebrow since it was a habit of Persia when something unexpected or expected appeared in front of her.
\'I should meet them... After all, This may be their territory, and I\'m trespassing without any permission.\' Persia thought to herself and nodded as she continued walking towards the Heavily Fortified Castle. She understood that it was a Border Castle meant for guarding the Borders and the International Roads to other nations. It also stopped unwanted guests from migrating to their lands.
After a while of walking through the Dirt Road, Persia arrived at the Heavily Fortified Castle. The Giant Tower stood 500 Meters in height which was a Magnificent Feat for a Border Castle. Persia looked towards the Iron Gates that were also Gigantic. It made Persia wonder if Giants or Gigantuan Species were living in the Realm of Piksyon. After all, Nothing was impossible within a World where Flying Islands exist.
"My Size is already bigger than most creatures, so I doubt that Giants or Gigantuan Species don\'t exist," Persia mumbled to herself as she walked towards the Iron Gate. Arriving in front of it, she saw Armored Figures standing in front of the Iron Gate. They stood like Mechanical Robots. Unmoving and Emotionless. Persia shook her head and threw such thoughts at the back of her mind. She walked towards the Armored Figures at a calm pace, and finally, the Armored Figures saw her.
"ɖօռ\'ȶ ʍօʋɛ!!!" Hearing the words of the Armored Figures, Persia couldn\'t understand what they were saying towards her. She shook her head as she forgot to activate the Dominion Authority Translator. As she used the Dominion Authority Translator, Persia could finally understand the words of the Armored Figures or Guards. "Don\'t move!!!" "Stay in your Position!!!"
Persia nodded after hearing the Armored Guards and raised her hand onto the Air. She didn\'t want to mess with the First Nation she visited. Alarms began ringing all over the Heavily Fortified Castle. Persia sighed as she never thought that it would cause a Huge Commotion. She expected them to be at least not hostile. There must be a good reason for it.
A while later, The Iron Gate of the Heavily Fortified Castle opened. A Big Stone Golem left the Iron Gate and walked towards Persia. The Stone Golem stood 20 meters in height which was probably 2 meters larger than the Iron Gate. Persia looked at the Stone Golem without any sign of fear. The Stone Golem gazes at Persia with its Red Crimson Eyes that glowed within its Rocky Head.
"Is there a reason for an Outsider to intrude the Korr Region? Especially an Outsider who passed through the Occidental Region?" The Stone Golem spoke with a Rough Voice and questioned Persia\'s reasons for entering the Korr Region. Persia, hearing the Stone Golem, titled her head and answered honestly with her soothing voice. "I\'m here to train myself..."
"Eh..." The Stone Golem didn\'t know what to reply as it sensed Persia\'s honesty from her eyes. The Occidental Region Border Castle was one of the Weakest and Poorest Castle. But it was to be expected as the Occidental Region wasn\'t dangerous as the other Regions as there was a pact in place, which stopped Daemon Monsters from entering it.
A Daemon Monster passing through the Border Castle was one of the most dangerous times as it meant that someone broke the Ancient Pact. The Stone Golem already called his Superiors about the Problem in the Border Castle of the Occidental Region. The Visitor was peaceful, but the Stone Golem knew that something scary was hiding within the Girl.
Within the Yard of the Border Castle were Thousands of Spirits preparing for Battle. They were waiting for the signal to charge against the enemy.
"Did something happened?" One of them asked. "Yeah, A Daemon Monster visited." A Spirit answered while holding an Energy Spear. "Ah, Shit..." A Spirit cursed after hearing everything. A Daemon Monster passing through them meant that something was rising within the Occidental Region or something passed through the Occidental Region.
Meanwhile, In front of the Iron Gates were Persia and the Stone Golem staring at each other. A Tense Atmosphere surrounded the two of them as Persia spoke with a soothing voice. "I come at peace..." The Way Persia talks and acts would make a Normal Creature underestimate her, but the Stone Golem was a Veteran. Though not that much, The Stone Golem could sense intense bloodlust hiding within the Body of the Girl. It was like a Serpent waiting to strike its fangs.
\'Like I\'ll believe you...\' The Stone Golem thought to himself while his Expression remained the same. Persia then spoke once again. "Are we gonna continue staring at each other?" Her soothing and calm voice echoed. The Stone Golem took a look at Persia and saw a Cold Expression plastered on her face. Although her Voice was Calm and Soothing, The Expression on her face was not the same.
"It is unexpected to meet a visitor in this Area of the Korr Region. Please be patient as my Superior will arrive sooner or later. Would you like to stay in the Castle before meeting my Superior?" The Stone Golem didn\'t know what it was doing, but it knew that it couldn\'t piss off the Young Girl in front of it. Despite its rough voice, The Stone Golem sounds like a Gentleman.
Persia sighed after hearing the Stone Golem and nodded. It seems that no Daemon Monsters has passed this Border Castle. She was the first creature to pass it, which meant that her existence was shocking for the people within it. The Stone Golen sighed in relief as he walked back into the Heavily Fortified Castle. As he entered through it, He saw his subordinates holding a weapon. He signaled the Subordinate to stop the Army.
The Subordinate nodded and accepted the orders of the Stone Golem. He ran to the Yard of the Heavily Fortified Castle, where the Army stood idly. The Spirits Guards got surprised on hearing the New Orders. The Spirit Guards began dropping their weapons and hid them back in their barracks. They didn\'t know what was happening, but from the orders, It seemed that someone important entered the Border Castle.
Persia entered the Heavily Fortified Castle through the Iron Gate and got surprised by the Beauty within it. The Green Garden and Peaceful White Marble Fountain. It was something that only the rich could get. Despite being the poorest and the weakest, The Spirits were good at designing sceneries. They were also strong on a single element, and they didn\'t need to use Magic.
She walked towards the Building within the Fortress Castle. It seemed to be a building where all offices got placed. Persia followed the Stone Golem and sensed numerous beings all over the Border Castle. They were the Spirits that were guarding the Border Castle. She had many questions about the Realm of Piksyon. She could invade their mind, but she wanted to have a good relationship with the so-called Spirits.
"There is no need to fight an unneeded and worthless battle," Persia mumbled to herself as she continued following the Stone Golem. While following the Stone Golem, Persia noticed that the Stone Golem\'s Size got smaller. It was approximately 2 meters in height which were still taller than Persia but a lot smaller than its former size.
The Two of them arrived in front of the Officer and entered. It was a Beautiful Office that was Simple. It wasn\'t grand or noble with rich furniture. It somehow resembled the Office Persia created within the cabin. Speaking of the Cabin, Persia was a bit homesick of the Inquisition Settlement.
Persia walked towards the Couch of the Office. She sat on the Couch and calmly look at the Stone Golem with her Golden Amber Eyes. The Stone Golem sat on his chair, and the two of them began their staring contest. Persia sighed and decided to ask two questions to the Stone Golem. "Why are you surprised that a Daemon Monster visited this place? And why am I the first Daemon Monster outside the Region to visit this place?"
"It seems that you have no information about the Great Forest. I doubt you have a General Overview." The Stone Golem spoke with its rough voice. Persia didn\'t reply as the Stone Golem was correct. Although she had an Origin Skill that could help her get all the Information of the World, She decided not to as it would only make everything boring to Persia. She would only peak at the Information and leave it alone and meet it personally.
"I\'ll explain... The Great Forest got divided into 5 Regions. The Korr Region, Oriental Region, Infra Region, Northern Mountain Ranges, and Occidental Region. Each Region has Specific Races living within it. The Korr Region is under the Spirits Jurisdiction, Oriental for the Beastfolk, Infra for the Elves, and the Northern Mountains for the Dwarves. The Occidental Region, on the other hand, lacked Daemon Monsters ruling it. That is the place where you possibly came. The Races in other regions already had their problems, so an Ancient Pact got created."
"The Ancient Pact banned Daemon Monsters from Outside or Inside from stepping on the Occidental Region. The Daemon Beasts within the Occidental Region must evolve to be a Daemon Monster. Though It has been thousands of years since that pact, and no signs of Daemon Monsters coming from it since then. The Security around the region became lax, so you might have passed through it without being warned." The Stone Golem explained.
"Hmm... I see, But I did evolve into a Daemon Monster in the Occidental Region." Persia said with her soothing voice as the Stone Golem had a frozen expression plastered on his rocky face. What he heard was shocking, and he couldn\'t instantly believe it. There were no signs of evolution, but the Stone Golem noticed that no one was looking at the Occidental Region during the past century.
Before Persia and the Stone Golem could continue their talks, The Door of the Officer opened, and a Young Lady entered through it. The Young Lady had skin that resembled an Oak Brown, and her Crimson Orange Eyes shone after seeing Persia, who peacefully sat on the Couch. The Young Lady was a beauty, and her Body Figure only had one word, which was Thicc.. She was one of the Spirit Nobles, and her name was Mayon.
