The old swordsman could even discern, from his demeanor and expression, his "disdain" for the Nesserite Empire and the Kael Elf Kingdom.
That's right, "disdain"!
A blatant expression of scorn!
Before the old swordsman could carefully ponder the content of Arnold's words, he heard him continue his smug introduction:
"In other places, people worry about simply having enough to eat, generation after generation becoming slaves to land, houses, and gold coins."
"Here in the Bay Territory, as long as you work hard, everyone can achieve advancement in strength and technology."
"Everyone is working for both their own development and the shared prosperity of the Territory."
"The better an individual develops, the faster the Territory will grow."
"The more the Territory prospers, the greater the benefits everyone will receive."
"If people cannot enjoy the fruits of this development, it would mean that the precious outcomes have been 'stolen' by others."
