Vampire Summoner's Rebirth: Summoning The Vampire Queen At The Start
Chapter 292 The Truth About The World-----
"Papa got so angry he threatened the priest of forcefully expulsing him out of the church through his authority." Said Elizabeth. Ellergest was often referred as "papa" by her.
"Hm, that old man's been doing god's work then." I said with a nod. "An actual competent holy man, that's a weird thing."
"Well, you don't have to worry about it, Blake, everything's alright." Said Erdrich. "My siblings came to visit me a few days ago, I had fun with them."
"At the very least your siblings seem to not have forgotten you." I added.
"Yeah, they're good kids…" Erdrich seemed to smile each time he remembered his family.
"Well, anyways, have you guys heard the news lately? There's a big Red Wyvern roaming the Grassy Plains lately! Some said it came from the faraway Snow Mountains where the dragon is sleeping." Chris said while trying to change the topic into something less sensitive.
"Ah yes, I had gone out with Eleanora and we went there. We met the creature firsthand. It was vastly stronger than what a Wyvern should had been, it easily ate one of my Familiars." I sighed.
"Indeed, it was a mighty beast. You children should not go there by any means." Eleanor added. She had been mostly inside my Spirit Orb meditating, but came out to eat and ended joining us. She's like just another member of the party and considered as much as a friend as I am.
"Not like we'll go, that's all-just Blake's insanity for wanting to fight giant monsters." Said Chris. "I'll just stay here until we go to the academy."
"Likewise…" Said Eric.
"You guys are no fun." I sighed.

"C-Calm down, Chris…" Eric tried to calm down Chris, who was prone to scream his opinions.
"I heard about the wyvern as well. The priests seemed worried, but they already put an extermination request in the Adventurer Guild." Said Erdrich. "Although no current Adventurer is even capable of fighting a normal Wyvern, even less that stronger one."
"I've also heard from the priest that strange things are happening to the far north of the continent…" Said Elizabeth.
"Eh? What's happening?" Asked Chris fearfully.
"Well, you guys know about the Demon Towers spread around the world, right? And about the continents of the world of Spiritias?" Asked Erdrich.
"W-Well…" Muttered Chris.
"I only know that there's another continent where the World Tree might be…" Said Eric. "But not really any specification."
"Well, you guys are serfs so I guess it's fair you don't know a thing." Sighed Erdrich. "I am still a noble, so I was taught a lot about our world. Perhaps there should be a school here to teach children… Ah, even then, serfs might not be allowed inside."
"Just tell us already!" Erika said, exasperated.
"Okay, I get it, don't scream at me, Erika!" Erdrich angrily replied. "Anyways, the current continent where we are living is simple named the "Central Continent", although I've heard some people calling it Embla. But my father always said that just Central Continent was the better term that everyone would understand. We are currently in the Fiefdom of Goldsand located in the Large Kingdom of Goldriver. Our Kingdom was named after "gold" and its fiefdoms and duchies as well due to the large resources in gold we had in the past, which were mostly all exhausted from the mountains that were available, and not occupied by dragons or monsters…"
"Oh, interesting. So this continent is named Embla?" I wondered.
Not even my parents or my grandmother knew about this continent's name. They also didn't knew how to read, so it has been quite hard to learn about this world as much as I would had wanted. Especially because I am a serf, noble teachers won't simply teach me things just because I ask them nicely, and I am not willing to waste my money on them.
"Yeah… Anyways, you know about the Silvertide Kingdom, right? The nearby kingdom to ours, which is in the middle of a war against an army of Demons led by a Demon Lord… Well, this is not just happening in our neighboring Kingdom, there's another big war against demons breaking out to the north, especially because the north faces directly with the "Lost Continent"… In there, there's a big army of demons pouring constantly from, and moving directly towards this continent and the other two neighboring continents." Erdrich explained.
"Yeah, the rumors are about that, the Demons are getting more vicious, and they said our nearby Demon Tower, which is far away from here, had been reacting strangely lately. Some think that a Demon King might had been born in the Lost Continent… So this might be a reason behind the demons growing restless and the invasion we had a month ago." Elizabeth said worriedly.
"Lost Continent? Demon King?" I asked. "What's this all about? Erdrich tell me more."
"Erm, well, the Lost Continent once had a name, it was named the Umbra Continent, but it was completely conquered by the Demons around a hundred years ago. It was said that the Demon Towers there constantly poured demons until the ten allied Kingdoms in that continent fell to their demise. Since then, people referred to the Continent as the "Lost Continent."… Back then, a Demonic Deity had been born, and had decided to conquer our continent, but was defeated by Seven Anonymous Heroes that embarked in a journey there… the threat of the demons was halted only for about a hundred and eight years though, just eight years ago, the demons suddenly began to multiply everywhere."
"Eight… years ago?"
Wait, isn't that the time I was born in this world?
"Not only that, but some Demon Towers also began to actively pour miasma into the environment, monsters began to grow stronger by two or three ranks in certain areas! Thankfully in here and the Grassy Plains such contamination hasn't reached, but that strong wyvern might be a signal that the miasma that makes monsters stronger has already reached the mountain range." Erdrich said.
