Jessica had no words to describe what she was seeing. Each piece was at most different or interesting.
Taken a part, there was nothing crazy or outside what she might have had in expectations. The problem was as a whole everything was far outside her expectations.
"Amazing..." Cassie's voice came to her ears. Jessica had to agree with that sediment.
Expanding as far as the eye could see was the Blue Wolf Tribe. Like the wolves fur, everything was blue, white, and gray in color.
Individually, there were almost no buildings in sight. Though that wasn't being very genuine.
Buildings were just structures. However, to humans, buildings were different. In a human sense, Jessica couldn't find any. Maybe one or two possibly in the distance.
Instead, most structures were tents. Yet not like tents she had ever come across. There were no dungeon materials that were used as replacements.
Nowadays, the products of many creatures and dungeons were used in a lot of material replacements. Therefore, seeing animal hides and leathers used was uncommon.
"Are those?..." As they got closer, Cassie appeared to see this. Her eyes that lacked mana were able to tell these weren't normal materials.
"Yeah." Jessica answered curtly.
These animal hides and leathers were giving off mana. It was clear the creatures used for these materials were almost exclusively graded beings.
Drawing back to the sheer size, this place was the size of a city. The majority of the buildings were tent like structures.
At first glance, this might make an idiot look down on them for being uncivilized. By this extent, maybe it was somewhat true.
Not all cultures were the same. Most that built their own society would see this place as being very primitive.
Issue with that was, unless these animals had been slayed, barely being put up within a week. Just finishing processing and being a new material.
This was a showcase of extraordinary technology. Because there was not enough land to procure this vast amount of materials.
Sheer number of tents, every single one giving off the mana of a high-grade material. What this meant was that they were not high-grade items.
This was a way to perfectly preserve them, turning an item that started high quality before degrading over time. Allowing the items to remain high quality. Having lived in a house for decades.
Jessica understood how often things broke. Worse, thinking back to when Leo basically obliterated a majority of it. They used simple materials that were easy to replace.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
That was the way normal society worked. So, while looking primitive, the materials used for the most basic structures. It was an astonishing displace of how advanced this society was.
Giving an idea to how much such materials would cost. These were worth more than most collections nobles showed off to gain the admiration and jealous of others.
The Blue Wolf Tribe was the definition of a high-level society cut off from the rest of the world.
They went into other societies while stopping others from coming into their own. Allowing them to obtain things they needed. While keeping all the good stuff for themselves.
Just the practice of being able to retain the mana in the hides and leathers would set off a wild storm in other societies.
As they drew closer, they were stopped at a fence. Combined with the tents, and other non-ordinary housing and buildings. It appeared almost everything was made in a way that it could be moved at any given time.
While it would obviously take months to actually move, unlike with a house, or other normal buildings. Everything in this tribe appeared to be mobile. All of this just screamed nomad, at a very high level. Not like any nomad society Jessica had ever seen before.
Saleh was talking to some of the guards. They were currently being watched by a number of wolves and people. A few of them weren’t completely human. One had a pronounced, or otherwise, longer section where his mouth and noise were.
A lot of them had perky ears sticking out from the top of their heads. A few of them had very hairy features. The most obvious being fur on their hands and cheeks.
One underlining characteristic was the waves of mana. The lower the grade, the more non-human features they seemed to have. This only held true for those with non-human features. There were some that looked completely human, those were both the strong or weak.
Nodding at Saleh, a man in charge with dark blue hair and eyes came up to the two. Taking a glance at the snow wolf with a spark of interest, he turned towards them, “Identification please.”
Jessica could only hand over a crystal with her Adventurer’s Guild status on it. This could work for proof of identification. She had others that were fake, however, those were low level and likely would be seen through.
Cassie, had one of those. Only her identification wasn’t fake. It was also a high level identification. Jessica only had a crystal that needed to be read to see the information on it.
Her small hand brought forth a smooth crystal. It was the size of a small plank, around eight inches in width and six in height. Light to the touch, it was less than an inch thick.
After receiving it, reacting to his touch, it lit up. Being black in color for a major portion, the top was a hue of clear but cloudy white. On the black portion, a series of symbols appeared.
Having come prepared, Jessica was given an animal tribe, specifically Blue Wolf Tribe language crystal. As if being able to sense the holder, symbols morphed a bit before the Blue Wolf Tribe language was displayed on it.
Giving her name, a small picture, and a series of information to prove it was her, and proof of her identity. Confirming everything was good, he handed the crystal back to Cassie.
Jessica’s identification was far lower quality, however she wasn’t barred from entry. After going back behind the gate, there was a crystal reader. It took a bit to confirm her identify.
After he was done, the man returned the crystal to Jessica.
Looking at them, he lowered his voice for the two to hear, “Normally, we wouldn’t allow outsiders to bring such a creature inside the tribe. Saleh has vouched for you, therefore, I ask that you move cautiously. If your snow wolf causes any issues, Saleh will be taking the brunt of the trouble.”
Rather this was true, or if it was Cassie’s identity. Jessica thought both played a part, but Saleh likely was key here.
Receiving a nod from the two, he spoke once more, “Please enjoy your stay.” Moving away for them to continue into the tribe.
