The Cheat Plant Mage Hides to Live a Slow Life!! ～ I’ve Been Banished from the Court and Want to Raise a World Tree but my Territory is too Strong～ - Chapter 61

In this world, monsters exist.

Dragons, goblins, horned rabbits, and other classic guys can be normally found and they are all ferocious.

The upper continent, where the Romancia Empire is located, was in a state of war a hundred years ago when monsters suddenly appeared and poured out of the underground dungeons.

On the lower continent, the president, who was in charge of all the guilds at that time, built a high wall on the land connecting the upper and lower continents.

Protected by high walls, a city was built in a steep valley. That was the predecessor of Gartland, the center of the Guild Autonomous Region.

After the monster outbreak, the land that bridged the upper and lower continents was sealed off and traffic was severely restricted.

In other words.

In theory, there are almost no monsters in the lower continent.

「Why is there a monster here?」

「It is a well-established theory on the upper continent that there are no monsters on the lower continent desu. Navi’s support system is only tuned to the activities on the upper continent and the underground dungeon desu.」

「…..so?」

「Is it really strange to find monsters on the lower continent?」

Hmmm, right.

I certainly know a little about the situation on the lower continent. If you’re someone from the empire, it’s normal to not know much about the Guild Autonomous Region.

However, does that mean that there are few monsters on the lower continent?

「Ah, right. That might be the reason why there’s so much undeveloped land here.」

And that the price was too low for the size of the land.

The Land Management Bureau should have at least given a warning.

「….is that the reason why the flowerkin colony has not flourished?」

「There might be other reasons.」

「How many?」

「Only one. However, it’s either intermediate or greater.」

Lesser, intermediate, greater.

Monsters are ranked according to their danger level.

Lesser class monsters can be dealt with by ordinary soldiers.

Intermediate class requires a mage.

If it’s a greater class, you will have to face it with a certain number of troops including a platoon of mages.

「Are we going to withdraw?」

「We can’t.」

I can only shrug my shoulders.

「That reason is not enough for us to abandon Togen Village.」

As a reincarnator, a brave, and an apprentice of an oni-like master.
