"This place...."
Looking at the scene within the small town, Adam was somewhat lost in thought.
The sight of the town before him was something he had never imagined in the past.
He himself was born into an aristocratic family, his father being the lord of a territory, and he had been to many places, thanks to his later experience studying at Hodge Academy.
However, none of the places he had been to had anything as special as this small town before him.
Even if we talk purely about prosperity, many cities within the Kingdom of Hodge far surpass this small town in terms of both population and business.
But in this small town before him, Adam felt a strong sense of vitality.
It was an atmosphere brought about by the flourishing growth of everything just starting to develop, creating a unique ambience.
In this land, although many people's lives were still difficult, they were filled with smiles and hope for a better life.
