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 our eyes.
bang!
Tutor Mawson snapped his fingers, and the bright area representing the territory of the Plantagenet Dynasty also dimmed.
The next moment, what lights up on the three-dimensional map of Nolan Continent is a "remote place" located in the southeastern corner, near the sea.
"This is the location of Linhai City, the third largest power in the Nolan Continent besides the Holy Empire and the Plantagenet Dynasty."
Linhai City?
· Can a city be more powerful than all countries except the Holy Empire and the Plantagenet Dynasty?
After hearing this, Gaode's pupils shrank.
This is an incredible thing in his mind.
The power of the country is like a huge machine. Once it starts running, all "warlords" and "local vigilantes" will be bulldozed like toys.
Here, while Gothe was shocked and puzzled, Mawson had already introduced it very methodically:
"Linhai City was built on the sea, so it got 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, even surpassing the Imperial Magic Academy of the Holy Empire and the Glorious Magic Academy of the Plantagenet Dynasty, is regarded as the first magic academy in the Nolan continent."
"The reason why Linhai City is so powerful stems from their unique geographical advantage, which is greater than their ideas and vision."
"This is the Strait of Norocco, 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 with red light.
“The Strait of Nollaka is the most important maritime traffic chokepoint in the entire mage plane. It is located between the Terra Continent and the Norland 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 the Emerald Sea and opposite the Emerald Sea. It is the Atrium Continent. "
"Trade is the lifeblood of Linhai City. It controls the main trade routes of the two continents, Terra Continent and Norland Continent, making them make a lot of money."
< br/> "An endless stream of ships and airships pass through the huge "Gate of the Sun" sea gate in Linhai City, bringing goods from all over the world, and also bringing immeasurable wealth to Linhai City."
"Previously when introducing the Plantagenet Dynasty, we said that they have the second largest port in the Norland Continent."
"And the largest port in the Norland Continent does not belong to the Holy Empire, but to Linhai City."
“Ships and airships sent from all over the world dock or depart from Linhai City’s “Sun Never Sets Port”. "
"In the port where the sun never sets, even at night, the lights are as bright as day."
"That kind of prosperous scene is absolutely unimaginable to those who have not seen it with their own eyes."
In fact, as a mentor, Mosen has never seen the prosperity of Linhai City with his own eyes.
So what he said was a bit like talking on paper.
hence "Linhai City, which has such huge wealth, does not belong to any country or force. They are completely independent."
hance "Four major merchant families control Linhai City, namely the Igor family, the Iron family, the Oakenley family and the Luen family."
"The four major chambers of commerce families each master the four core technologies of magic airships, Orric crystals, alchemical weapons, and rune construction, and rely on these four core technologies to sell their products all over the world."
"At the same time, after obtaining huge wealth through Linhai City, these four major chambers of commerce families have also invested huge amounts of money to fund various magic projects."
"This has led to 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."
"It is said," Moson said in an exaggerated tone: "It is said that the streets of Linhai City are paved with gold!"
In Moson's explanation, an image similar to "Magic City" was established in Gothe's 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 the Holy Empire, which is constantly expanding and whose territory borders Linhai City, is indifferent to such an attractive piece of fat?"
"The reason is very simple."
"It is not indifferent, but unable to move."
"Even if it is as powerful as the Holy Empire, it cannot bite off the fat of Linhai City."
"Even the reason why the Holy Empire was able to expand its territory on the Terra Continent was inseparable from the prosperity of Linhai City."
"Linhai City's port and magic airship made it relatively easy for their troops and military supplies to be transported to the Terra Continent, and Linhai City's alchemical weapons made it easier for the Holy Empire to expand its territory on the Terra Continent."
"With the blessing of money and technology, the strength of the four major chambers of commerce 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 has a set of eighth-level rune structures that are the only one in the world."
"Praise to 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."
Moson stopped here and 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 finally highlighted on the three-dimensional map.
"This area is the middle ground between the Holy Empire and the Plantagenet Dynasty. It contains more than 50% of the land lines of the Norland Continent, large tracts of undeveloped areas, and dozens of principalities of various sizes."
“And our Principality of Sean is at this location.” Instructor Mawson pointed to a small area close to the Plantagenet Dynasty and marked it with another color.
As this "Geography Lesson" comes to an end, the Principality of Xi'an is finally mentioned.
Seeing the size of the Principality of Sean on the map, Gothe finally understood how big the entire Norland 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 a buffer zone between the Holy Empire and the Plantagenet Dynasty, separating the two countries."
"Both parties are not yet ready to engage in military conflict, so they 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 Holy Empire is willing, all the principalities in this hinterland will either be conquered or destroyed within one year." Mawson did not avoid Sean's weakness at all, and said bluntly.
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 the end of 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.
