Chapter 146 Praise of the Sea
Teacher Mohsen’s political bias is very obvious.
Compared with his admiration for the Holy Empire, his attitude towards the Plantagenet Dynasty is obviously negative.
But this is also the view of most people.
After all, the facts are before us.
Snap!
Teacher Mawson snapped his fingers, and the bright area representing the territory of the Plantagenet Dynasty also dimmed.
The next moment, what lit up on the three-dimensional map of Nolan Continent turned out to be a "remote place" located in the southeastern corner, near the sea.
“This is the location of Linhai City, the third largest power in Nolan Continent besides the Holy Empire and Plantagenet Dynasty.”
Linhai City?
Will a city be more powerful than all countries except the Holy Empire and the Plantagenet Dynasty?
After hearing this, Gothe's pupils shrank.
In his opinion, this is an incredible thing.
The power of the country is like a huge machine. Once it starts running, all "warlords" and "local snakes" will be bulldozed like toys.
Here, while Gothe was shocked and puzzled, Moson had already introduced it very methodically:
"Linhai City was built on the sea, hence its name."
"This is an extremely prosperous commercial city and magic city. They have become independent port cities because of free trade."
"In Linhai City, there is the most prosperous business atmosphere and the freest academic atmosphere in the entire mage plane."
"The Nolan Magic Academy established in Linhai City is even the Imperial Magic Academy that overwhelms the Holy Empire. The Glorious Magic Academy of the Plantagenet Dynasty is regarded as the first magic academy in Nolan Continent. "
"The reason why Linhai City is so powerful stems from their unique geographical advantages and the concept that light is greater than theirs. and vision.”
"This is the Nooroku Strait, controlled by Linhai City." As Moson finished speaking, on the three-dimensional map formed by magic, a small area of sea adjacent to Linhai City was highlighted by a bright red light.
“The Strait of Nollaka is the most important maritime traffic throat in the entire mage plane. It is located between the Terra Continent and the Nolan Continent. It is a sea channel and shipping hub that must be passed through for trade between the two continents. It is also adjacent to Jade. Sea, opposite the Emerald Sea is the Atrium Continent. "
"Trade is the lifeblood of Linhai City. It controls the main trade channels of the two continents, Terra Continent and Nolan Continent, making them make a lot of money. "Bo is full."
"An endless stream of ships and airships shuttle through Linhai City's huge 'Sun Gate' sea lock, bringing goods from all over the world and also bringing immeasurable goods to Linhai City. Wealth."
"I said before when I introduced the Plantagenet Dynasty that they have the second largest port in Nolan Continent."
"The largest port in Nolan Continent does not belong to the Holy Empire, but to Linhai City."
"Ships and airships sent from all over the world dock at Linhai City's "Sun Never Sets Port". Or set off.”
“In the port where the sun never sets, even at night, the lights are as bright as daytime.”
“No one who has never seen it with his own eyes will be able to see that bustling scene. It’s imaginable.”
In fact, as a mentor, Mo Sen has never seen the prosperity of Linhai City with his own eyes.
So what he said was a bit like talking on paper.
"Linhai City, which has such huge wealth, does not belong to any country or force. They are completely independent."
"The four major chamber of commerce families control Linhai City, namely Yigo The Er family, the Iron family, the Oakenley family and the Rune family"
"The four major chamber of commerce families each master the four core technologies of magic airship, Orric crystal, alchemical weapons, and rune construction. And relying on these four core technologies, they sell their products all over the world. "
"At the same time, after gaining huge wealth through Linhai City, these four major chambers of commerce families also invested huge amounts of money to fund various companies. A spell item.”
"This has resulted in countless workshops in Linhai City." "The unprecedentedly developed workshops and the latest inventions of magic items being created every moment fully prove what sufficient financial sponsorship means to mages."
“Linhai City has therefore become the city with the most developed magic technology in the world. It is the holy land in the hearts of countless mages, the city of freedom.”
“It is said that, "Mosen said in an exaggerated tone: "It is said that the streets of Linhai City are paved with gold!"
In Mosen's explanation, an image similar to "Magic City" was established in Gothe. in mind.
Of course, in terms of comparison, this coastal city is far more prosperous than the "Magic City".
“Ahem.” Moson coughed heavily, paused, and continued: “Perhaps you may be wondering why such an attractive piece of fat is constantly expanding and its territory borders Linhai City. Will the empire be indifferent?"
"The reason is simple."
"It's not that it's indifferent."
"Even if it's as powerful as the Holy Empire, it can't bite it. Linhai City is a piece of fat.”
"In fact, the reason why the Holy Empire was able to expand its territory in the Terra Continent was inseparable from the prosperity of Linhai City."
"Linhai City's port and magic airship made their army and military supplies Supplies can be transported to the continent of Terra relatively easily, and the alchemy weapons of Linhai City make it easier for the Holy Empire to expand its territory on the continent of Terra."
"With the blessing of money and technology. Next, the strength of the four major chambers of commerce and families is also unfathomable, and they must not be judged by ordinary chambers of commerce or families."
"The most important thing is that Linhai City is the only one in the world that has one. A set of eighth-level runes."
"Praise of the Sea"
"This set of eighth-level runes is to Linhai City just like the forbidden magic stone is to the Plantagenet Dynasty. As long as it exists for one day, it can keep Linhai City standing for one day."
Mo Sen's words stopped. Here, he paused for a moment, as if to let the students digest what he said.
Then he continued.
The light representing Linhai City disappeared, and the center of Nolan Continent was highlighted on the three-dimensional map.
“This area is the middle ground between the Holy Empire and the Plantagenet Dynasty. There are more than 50% of the land lines of Nolan Continent, large tracts of undeveloped areas, and dozens of large and small trees. A principality.”
"And our Principality of Sean is at this location." Instructor Mohsen pointed to a small area close to the Plantagenet Dynasty and marked it with another color.
Towards the end of this "geography lesson", the Principality of Xi'en was finally mentioned.
Seeing the size of the Principality of Xien on the map, Gothe finally understood how big the entire Nolan Continent was.
In terms of area, the Principality of Xi'en is equivalent to half of China, but the size shown on the map is only a small piece like a puzzle piece.
“Strictly speaking, this area is actually the buffer zone between the Holy Empire and the Plantagenet Dynasty, separating the two countries.”
"Both parties are not yet ready to engage in combat, so they will allow this buffer zone to exist to ensure that their territories are not directly adjacent, thereby avoiding possible escalation of friction."
"Otherwise, as long as the sacred If the empire is willing, all the principalities in this hinterland will either be conquered or destroyed within one year," Mawson said bluntly without shying away from Sean's weakness.
He even made a rebellious statement, "At that time, it may be a good thing for the people of Xi'an. After all, joining the Holy Empire can achieve greater development."
"Okay, that's it for today's class, get out of class is over!" Instructor Moson waved his hand and announced that get out of class was over.
The three-dimensional map model presented on the whiteboard disappeared without a trace in an instant as Mawson left.
