Chapter 92: Dark Forest's Power distribution

92- Dark Forest's Power distribution

Armelia first started with the Geography of the Dark Forest.

According to my knowledge and every humans knowledge outside the Dark Forest, what we know is Dark Forest is divided into 3 areas, they are Outer area, Inner area and the Core area. And in Outer area, there few places where any human in Mortal realm can trespass but also there are some places where even a human in the Transformation realm will be injured. And if one enters the inner area, then even a human in the Royality realm will have to tread carefully. As for the core area, no human who has entered it, has survived to tell the tales to others.

But according to Armelia, Dark Forest is divided into 5 areas, they are Outer area, Inner area, Border area, the Core area and the central forbidden grounds.

And currently, the location I am at is Border area.

Which means, the information known to me and the other humans is incomplete.

Of course, the only this information which is incomplete is related to area distribution. While the difficulty of each area is almost the same.

I asked Armelia,

Hey, since Inner area is so dangerous, then how come we did not meet any dangerous monster on our way?

Well, to be honest we did not enter the Inner area. We were at the border of Inner area and Outer area. And sometimes there is a chance that we might encounter strong monsters but we were lucky and We mostly treaded in safe places and the same goes for when we entered the Outer area and we were in one of safe zones. Unfortunately, we met that bald bastard.

After cursing the bald guy and his people for few seconds, Armelia continued with her explanation.

So, after Armelias explanation, I started understanding few things.

First of all, there are 5 major monster royal families in the Dark forest. They are:

The Thunder Lion royal family.

The Gale Eagle royal family.

The Komodo Dragon royal family.

The Urag Snake royal family.

The Fierce Bull royal family.

These 5 monster royal families control the entire Dark Forest. They have many monster tribes or species that are affiliated or associated with them, serving them or under their protection, or acting as subsidiaries.

It's like, these 5 monster royal families each have divided the Dark forest into 5 parts and they are the kings for their own territories. And the affiliated / subsidiary tribes are made to settle in the inner area and the border area. And they keep guard over their area and pay taxes like rare herbs, medicines, ores, etc, every few months to the royal family to which they are affiliated.

And the Lamia tribe is affiliated to the Urag Snake royal family and Bertha is from the Urag Snake royal family. But, Armelia is not aware about her proper status in royal family.

Affiliated, under their protection, Subsidiaries have different meaning to them.

A monster tribe can only be affiliated to a royal family, if the monster tribe is related to their bloodline or are a part of branch family bloodline. Just like how Lamia and Urag Snake royal family come under Serpent Family. Usually, the treatment of affiliated monster tribes is much better when compared to other because they belong to the same bloodline or at least have certain traces of similar bloodline running through them.

Coincidentally, there is a White Fang Wolf monster tribe that is also affiliated to the Urag Snake royal family.

Now, monsters tibe which are subsidiaries to Royal families, are those tribes which are not related to the Royal families in any way, but they possess certain strength and pay taxes in the form of materials.

As for the monster tribes which are labelled as under the protection of royal. But they are nothing but servant tribes of the royal family.

From what Armelia told me, there are also cases where certain tribes are not eligible to get in contact with the royal family, so they act as subsidiaries or under the protection type monster tribes to the affiliated tribes. And it can be said they are exploited.

The White fang wolf tribe has a servant tribe called the iron wolf tribe and many other tribes.

So, basically the power distribution in the Dark Forest is like:

Royal Family > Affiliated Tribe > Subsidiary tribe > Servant tribe > & other monsters that have yet to develop intelligence.

And normally, Royal families are situated in the core area of Dark forest, it's like core area is their own exclusive area. And on the border area, Affiliated tribes and few Subsidiary tribes are allowed to stay. While, the servant tribes are situated in the Inner area.

After this, Armelia told me that a normal monster will start developing intelligence after entering the Transformation stage realm. And they will be able to transform into human forms, only after they reach the Royality realm. And this follows only for the low class monsters.

The monsters which have powerful bloodlines do not follow this process. It's like with every generation, they evolve. For example, if a monster at 1 st generation gains 10 Intelligence. Then its next generation will start with an intelligence around 10. And it will increase with the 3 rd generation.

A low class monster has an instinctive choice to abandon his monster form and transform to human form. But if they do, they will not be able to revert back and they lose certain percentage of their strength. But of course, they will be stronger than an average human at the same level.

And if a monster with a good lineage, bloodline and which had gone through many evolutions, will not have this problem. As soon as they are born, they have the same intelligence of a new born human child and when they grow up, their intelligence is similar to an adult human. And after reaching certain realm they can freely transform from monster to human and revert back.

This type of ability is available within Royal family and affiliated tribes.

While other have to follow the basic practice. So, basically Lamia tribe is close enough to that ability.

As they are born with half human body and half snake body, it takes them little extra time to transform into human. Sheela is able to freely transform into human because she is already in the Royality realm, while Armelia still needs to get stronger, then she can also transform into Human without needing to using some herb.

And no tribe is free to enter the Core area without permission and even the affiliated tribes need to get permission; well except for the tribe leader, as the leader has the royal family issued seal and they can use it to enter the core area.

But unfortunately, it seems that Armelia does not have knowledge regarding the Central forbidden grounds.
