Garleok City

Garleok City is a city part of the Garleon Union. It's also call it 『Jewel of the West』.(16-25)

The huge Central Garleon Temple can be seen in the middle of the city far away, has a sturdy atmosphere to it.

Garleok City is enclosed by a river and sea on all sides.

There are waterways with gondolas inside the city, making it look similar to Venice somewhat.

There are monster warding stone monuments engraved with Garleon holy symbol surrounding the city, and there's a lot of shellfish and fish farms in the area of ocean inside the monument encirclement.

The temperature itself is mild.

The port where the market was.

The neighboring Holy State Parion waged a war with this country.

It's by representatives of each cities.

Garleon Union is an alliance of nine cities, and this Garleok City that we are at acts as the leader. Three of the cities including Garleok are managed by a confederation of merchants, while the other six form a kingdom (Gaboz Kingdom). Thus, saying that there's no king is not exactly right.

Every city is prospering through marine product trades, many of the people are wealthy.

Perhaps it's because of the narrow land, lots of three-story housing complexes here, their verandas facing the main street are adorned with colorful beautiful flowers.

Houses decorated with flowers on the sides of the road, alleys filled with people who play music and enjoy themselves.

This city has a lot of slaves compared to other countries.

Residents living in the lawless area at the city outskirts made of connected rafts are living an extremely poor life.

After more walking, we came to a fountain in the center of the marketplace.

The top of the fountain is decorated with a bronze statue of a good looking man wearing admiral-like outfit.

According to the plate at the bottom of the statue, he seems to be a hero from 800 years ago who drove away a pirate called Skeleton King who rampaged around the sea back then, he united poor countries that were fighting against each other and laid the foundation for the present day Garleon Union. That Hero, Kite, led an invincible army that won against pirates and foreign invasions.

Lot of pirates lately, cause of that Skeleton Archduke, he is the 『Skeleton King』's successor, whom the hero from 800 year ago drove away, they've brought together the other pirates in the area under their wings.

Industry

Food
They probably used salted fish sauce on it, it goes really well with squids.
 * Famous Garleon's sea grapes (green grapes). the grapes looks like big common grapes, like muscats. It tastes like muscat. The fruit is seedless, unusual in this parallel world, its fruit juice is rich on top of having thin skin, it seems to be a type that can be eaten whole with its skin like shine muscats. It's slightly sour unlike the real shine muscats, but still less sour than other grapes, it's easy to eat. A bunch cost from two big copper coins to one silver coin.
 * Roast squid. slight fish-like flavor spread out.
 * Fried boiled octopus on skewers. The oil on the fried skewers is a bit much, but the octopus seems to have been seasoned, it's really meaty and tasty.
