Bode
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There was a curious border city named Bode that sat twelve thousand kilometers away from Crookes on the Eastern Continent.
"So, the rumors were real… there actually is a Vertical City in this world!" A youth with a large backpack gasped in awe at the sight before him. "How do I get up there?
The bulk of Bode was a straight stone pillar with craggy precipices poking out, each of which had compact houses built over it. With only the residence of Bode's mayor was built upon the top of the stone pillar and having no obvious stairs built over it, there was no telling how one would get into the city.
"First time here at Bode, kid?" A middle-aged merchant having some tobacco from a pipe eyed the youth as if he was small fry. "The people of Bode are called Bodians, and they are nonhumans who look like birds. If you are interested in trading, you just have to set up shop over at Bode's Hand, although you would have to pay for overhead."
