Zeltoble

Zeltoble (ゼルトブル), Zeltbur or Zeltbull, is the country of mercenaries. Just as its name implies, this country is populated largely by mercenary organizations.

History
This country has a dark history involving constant warfare. Like most countries, they also have a Dragon Hourglass, but they don't give class ups. It was established by Merchants to attract profits which later formed as a country. It's a country in which an unbelievable amount of money circulates. Whether it be the shopping district or the slums, the people here seem to move with more energy than those in Melromarc.

Summary
Every holy hero considered that Zeltoble has the best and powerful weapons. But, unknown to merchants, all the heroes used weapon copy on all their preferred weapons. Most of the shooting star series weapons of the heroes have their origin from Zeltoble, which was made from the meteorite. Even Naofumi's shooting star shield given by Erhard was bought from Zeltoble in his time as an adventurer. Most heroes went to Zeltoble to check out the weapons during their first month after summoning. But, Naofumi visited about several months later due to various reasons.

Government
The government of Zeltoble is not an absolute monarchy, but is instead an oligarchy power structure with powerful merchants and nobles bidding to keep in the favor with the Merchant Council for Power and influence. Here people make money by selling their strength to others. The adventurer's guild has deep ties to this country. This makes industries such as Weapon Shops and Medicine Shops prosper as well. It doesn't seem that this country keeps good public order. Neither there is a law for commoners. But anything is a code of conduct between the merchants and Council of merchants.

Shopping
The weapons from Zeltoble are quite potent.

Slavery
The Slave Merchant's clan has set up a base here, headed by his uncle the slave merchant. It is just a coliseum on the surface. In the basement, they deal with slaves behind the scenes. In this country, most coliseums are like this. Depending on the Union, the traded goods differ. While leaving the staircase to a stone corridor, numerous cages become visible.

Coliseum
The most famous attractions of the Zeltoble is its Coliseums, it's this country's trademark. Brawlers fight against one another, and people place bets. Here, anyone can enter the games, so it's not odd for a hero to participate. The atmosphere is like that of a baseball stadium. There are also team games. Participants can register under any name they wish.

Another Coliseum the slave dealer's clan manages has special events for monsters. Some days they hold free matches. Where anyone can enter if they want money. The spectators bet on who will win, and many will lose all of their money.

Military
They don't have a standing army but has a group of assassins.

Geography
Zeltoble is on the Main World Continent surrounded by some of the Most Powerful Kingdom's on the Continent: Rock Valley, Melromarc and the Siltvelt Kingdom, etc.

International Relations
They are just merchants and don't have any favorites or any diplomatic relation with any nation. They sell anything for a profit and doesn't have any friends or bad blood with any nation.

The only time they took sides was under the surface in favor of Melromarc against Tact-led Faubley. They lend their hands happily, for Tact killed their Vassal weapon hero. Not only hurting their pride but also to favor the original heroes. The dark guild also sold Faubley's military uniform to Itsuki to infiltrate Faubley's army. This action gained their confidence from both the coalition army and Melromarc.
