After Igneel landed, Lin Fan walked a bit before reaching a town.
The guards of this town didn't even bother stopping him from entering since this was a small town in the middle of nowhere.
Or rather, this was a town that was on the edge of a small kingdom known as the Yao Kingdom known as Winding Stream Town.
It was just a small kingdom that only existed because it was in contested lands. This was a place that didn't have enough natural resources even for its people, so there was no need for the other countries to invade this Yao Kingdom.
They even kept it and left it alone because it made the perfect buffer zone for them.
The other countries used the Yao Kingdom as neutral land to not only create a zone for trade, but also a zone so that no one would be able to invade each other without notice. If there was a country that tried anything, they would have to go through the Yao Kingdom first and would be found immediately.
