Kapitel 697: Volume 20: Wolves Lurking in the Mediterranean, Chapter 5: Whose Responsibility

"Mr. Kamado," Komer began with a slight smile, "the scenery of the Akmon River is indeed as famous as they say, with clear waters like a ribbon and fertile banks on both sides. No wonder I heard even in the North that Sparta might replace Corinth as the leader of the City-state Alliance. Patrae has developed rapidly, I recall four years ago when I last visited Patrae it was nothing like it is now. I wonder what has caused Patrae to become so lively all of a sudden?"

Upon hearing Komer ask this question, Kamado was momentarily taken aback. He hadn't expected a merchant from the North to be interested in these matters, but as a Spartan, he naturally felt proud of his country's development. "Mr. Karadin, have you visited Sparta before?"

"Oh, I only passed by Patrae by boat and spent just one night there. The lime wine from the 'Old Sailor' Tavern by the dock in Patrae let me sleep soundly." Reno laughed, his face lighting up with genuine recollection.
