The legendary warrior

"Ricky, you're a casting master in the inferior Mortal Level! Are you seriously asking me what the Casting Guild is?" Bertha said, surprised.

Even one who was not a casting master would know that there was a Casting Guild!

"Bertha, you know that I've never been invested in this kind of stuff at all," Ricky explained awkwardly.

"Well... alright..." Bertha said, not knowing what else she could say.

"Ricky, do you know of the division between Realm and Land of the Misty South?" Elder Samuel asked Ricky, leaning forward to gaze at him seriously.

"No, Elder. I must admit that I am not quite familiar with it."

"The Misty South is incredibly vast, and it is connected by the Realms, part by part. I do not know the exact number of Realms, seeing as how I am just a demi-immortal warrior. It is only those who reach the level of innate spiritual king that are qualified to roam around the Misty South.

Every Realm is divided into several Lands, so to speak.

The Realm which we reside in now is called the Realm of Wilderness, and Snow Land is one of its four Lands."

"I see. Do you mean to say that there are two more Lands except the Snow Land and the West Desolate Land?" Ricky asked.

"Yes, Ricky. The Heaven Wood Land and Earth Fire Land," Elder Samuel replied.

"So the Casting Guild is..." Ricky murmured.

"The Casting Guild is co-founded by the top casting masters in the entirety of the Misty South. It exists in every Realm," Elder Samuel clarified.

"Casting masters earn an identification tag from the Casting Guild as long as they pass the assessment!"

"And what is this tag used for, Elder?" Ricky asked, thinking in utilitarian terms. He was unwilling to waste his time on the assessment unless it would become useful.

"The use? It comes in handy," Bertha interjected.
