Chapter 144 Northern Territory
"Norland Continent Geography and War Geography" is a branch course under the compulsory course "Basic Culture Course".
This course is offered for a total of four periods in one academic year.
What Gaode reported was the first course taught by instructor Mohsen.
The class time is on the afternoon of the second day of the three months of Frost Gold Moon, Foggy Frost Moon and Ice Moon.
This course is taught in a very large classroom.
First, because this course has always been one of the famous "water courses" in the college, there are a large number of students in each session, so more seats are needed.
The course content of "Noland Continent Geography and War Geography" is relatively simple, and the assessment is easy to pass, but you can get up to two points of credits.
Almost all students take this course in a given year.
Even some students who have difficulty obtaining credits will regard this course as their "insurance":
If you don't have enough credits in a year, you should quickly take this course and use these two precious credits to get through the year.
The second is as a "geography class". Although it is an indoor class, in order to make the teaching more intuitive, it needs to be equipped with a sand table for simulating terrain.
Each student is equipped with a sand table as standard. Each sand table covers an area of several square meters, so the required classroom area is naturally larger.
Gaode entered the classroom half a quarter of an hour before class started.
At this time, there were already many students in the classroom.
The class time alone can distinguish students with different personalities.
Some people like to get to class early, some like to be a little early, some like to be late, and a very small number of people like to be late.
Gaode belongs to the type of college that likes to arrive at the classroom early.
It is unnecessary to arrive too early, it is a waste of time, and it is not safe to arrive too early, and you will be late accidentally.
Being late is a bad behavior in Gaode's opinion.
Sure enough, after Gaode, more than a dozen students came one after another.
Of course, without exception, they are all veteran students.
Gaode is the only "first grade" student here.
——Other freshmen are still mining under the coolie cliff.
At the right time, a thin old man with curly brown hair and wearing a robe marked with the college emblem walked in from the front door holding a roll of parchment.
The thin old man is their instructor, Instructor Mohsen.
As soon as Teacher Moson entered the classroom, the slight whispers that existed in the classroom suddenly disappeared and became quiet.
Without introducing himself, Teacher Moson went straight to the point as soon as he entered the classroom.
At the front of the classroom is a very large whiteboard.
But the strange thing is that the whiteboard is not hung, but laid flat, with a platform underneath to support it.
At least when Gothe saw this whiteboard for the first time, he couldn't imagine what it was used for.
However, his doubts have now been answered.
Instructor Mohsen stood in front of the whiteboard, raised one hand and danced his fingers gently.
A subtle magical fluctuation immediately filled the air.
Under the guidance of his gestures, a light gradually emerged on the huge white board.
A three-dimensional map model began to condense in the light.
"Nolan Continent is the name of the continent where the land beneath our feet is located." As soon as the map took shape, Teacher Moson began to talk on his own.
“If viewed from the sky, Nolan Continent is an irregular pentagon, similar to a bird spreading its wings to fly, long but narrow at the bottom, short but wide at the top.”
"As a digression, this world is not limited to the Nolan continent. There is also a continent below and to the right of the Nolan continent, namely the Terra continent and the Atrium continent."
" The three continents together form the territory of our world. "Of course, Nolan Continent ranks first among the three continents in terms of area and comprehensive strength."
“Okay, let’s get back to the topic now.”
Instructor Mohsen only talked about the other two continents. After all, the name of this course is: Geography of Nolan Continent and Geography of War. .
Then he made a spinning gesture.
In the three-dimensional map model condensed by light, the white area at the top began to highlight and became extremely conspicuous.
What an "advanced" teaching method.
Looking at this type of 3D projected three-dimensional map, Gaode secretly sighed.
Spells sometimes do even better than technology.
“This area is the northernmost area of Nolan Continent, we call it the North.”
“The North is the land of ice and snow storms. The environment is extremely harsh, with severe cold all year round, ice and snow. The storm never stops.”
"The land in the north is called the permafrost tundra, which is almost impossible to grow food."
"So the humans living in this land are nomadic people who make a living by hunting."
Instructor Mohsen snapped his fingers and marked the edge of the northern region with a bright red light.
“The edge of the northern border is the Ervinraya Mountains, which is the highest mountain range in Norland, with an average altitude of more than 8,000 meters.”
“It is this mountain range , isolating the ice and snow storms in the north, causing the two sides to have completely different landforms and climates with the Ivanlaya Mountains as the boundary. ”
"It is also due to the existence of the natural chasm of the Ervinlaya Mountains that although the northern area and the southern area where we are located belong to the Norland continent, there is almost no communication between the two sides, just like an independent continent."
"Of course, if you want to enter the North, you don't have to cross the Irwinlaya Mountains." Moson drew a blank line with his finger in the air, and soon two blue lines appeared on the outside of Nolan Continent on the map. .
“It is a more reasonable choice to enter the northern border by sea route.”
“However, due to early internal disputes and the fact that the northern tribes are located on the border, they do not like to interact with They are very hostile to foreigners.”
“In addition, due to the characteristics of the nomadic people, they need to move with the changes of seasons and the migration of prey, and live a mobile life without a fixed settlement. , so there are no large ports in the north.”
"Restricted by these conditions, there has always been very little communication between the outside world and the Northern Territory. Only occasionally some mages will form teams and enter the Northern Territory by boat." There are many high-level magic plants and earth-line biological resources that are difficult to see in the outside world. It can be said to be a treasure land that has never been developed."
Teacher Moson explained: "These mages ventured in just for this reason. "In the north."
"In addition, the Vikings in the north will also use their own wolf ships to plunder and plunder resources when the ports thaw in the summer."
"However, this is a matter that only countries on the coastline have to worry about, and has nothing to do with us, the Principality of Xi'en." Instructor Moson spread his hands and simply ended his introduction to the North.
The light in the northern region on the three-dimensional map also dimmed.
What then lights up is the eastern area of the map.
This time, the area lit up is so large that it occupies almost half of the remaining territory of the Nolan continent except for the northern border.
Instructor Moson paused at this time, waiting for the students to write down all the areas. After having a rough impression, he asked: "Do you know what this area is?"
Could it be "Eastern Wasteland"? This slightly naughty thought subconsciously came to Gao De's mind.
According to the classic settings in previous online novels, the Northern Territory should correspond to the "Eastern Wasteland", "Western Desert", and "South China Sea".
Some of the students have raised their hands.
He is a student from a noble family.
For them, they already know this knowledge and do not need to obtain it from class. Naturally, they can answer Tutor Mohsen's questions at this moment.
Under the instruction of Instructor Moson, the student who raised his hand revealed the answer: "This is the territory of the Holy Empire."
