Looking at Aileen, Rocky blinked his large eyes, a look of confusion on his face because he truly did not know what The Forsaken People was all about.
Seeing that he was actually unaware of this matter, Monte, who was beside him, spoke up:
“My lord, The Forsaken People is the term we use to refer to those who still live on the land.”

“What?”
Upon hearing Monte’s words, Rocky was so surprised that his mouth hung open in amazement.
...
Of course, one couldn’t blame him, for he was, after all, a traveler from another world. Although he was very familiar with this world, his understanding was limited only to what he could come in contact with. As for some matters he had never encountered since his arrival, Rocky knew very little, and The Forsaken People was one such issue.
Over a hundred years ago, people built Sky City and fled to the sky to escape the Demons, a fact known to all. But the situation back then was far from simple.
In reality, when humans had constructed the first Sky City and were ready for a large-scale migration to the skies, a significant portion opposed the idea. This opposition is mentioned in Wensel’s will, and at the same time, the capacity of Sky City to hold people was very limited.
This led to many people either voluntarily or involarily staying on the land during the initial stages of the move to the sky.
Later on, as more Sky Cities were constructed, people truly began migrating in earnest. Yet even then, there was still a significant number of individuals who chose to stay on the land to continue the fight against the Demons.
And it was these people who decided to stay on the land that became known as The Forsaken People.
The Forsaken People called those who fled to the sky traitors, seeing their actions as a cowardly escape, as a surrender of the land that had nurtured them. Therefore, The Forsaken People would rather stay and battle the Demons on the land than flee to the sky.
This divergence of opinions caused the two groups to split into two major camps at the beginning of the Sky Era, leading to endless disputes. One side accused the other of stubbornness, while the other called them cowards. Eventually, things escalated to the point of complete hostility, cutting off all relations between them.
This state of affairs continued for decades until the last few years, especially after the First Counter Offensive War began, that the relationship between the two sides started to ease up.
Today, interactions between the two groups have grown increasingly frequent. Take, for instance, the last task that Rocky had found—the person who posted the task came from the land!
“I really had no idea that such things were going on…”
After listening to Monte’s explanation, Rocky slowly nodded in a daze and couldn’t help but think back to the Magic Energy Image Wensel left in the Lost Re
“My lord, you don’t need me to elaborate on the immense value a mine can generate, do you?”
Aileen’s explanation led to an epiphany for Rocky, as it was true just as she said—the people on the land sat upon countless resources, and by selling these resources to Sky City, it would mean a continuous flow of wealth!
And since the conversation had come full circle back to the task at hand, Rocky then asked, “Given this, what do you think—should we take on this task or not?”
