The vast Tunguska River flows quietly over the vast expanse of the field, and the surging river moves slowly and slowly, rippling in circles from time to time.

It is like a sleeping serpent, silent and powerful, full of awe, and it travels through the entire Northland Plateau.

Waves crashed against the otherwise calm water, blowing a series of pearl-white foam.

In the midst of the mist, a three-masted merchant ship spread its sails, sucked in enough of the light wind blowing, cut through the waves fluttering in the wind like a long knife, and drove quickly forward.

It was the most common morning on the Tunguska River, and as the sun gradually broke away from the horizon, the faint morning fog thinned out and soon dissipated like a shy little girl.

It didn't take long for the rare warm sunlight to fall down, and the brilliant scene of the river full of gold was reflected on the surface of the river.

And on the three-masted merchant ship, which was still moving fast, more than two dozen sailors dressed in rough linen clothes were also busy, wiping the deck and mast with the rudimentary tools in their hands, and it seemed that it was in full swing.

A man dressed as a first mate walked on the deck, shouting from time to time to urge a certain sailor to do his job well.

And in the cabin.

The muse reached out and plunged into the water that had just been lifted from the Tunguska River in the barrel in front of him, and it was unexpectedly cold, as if it had reached into the freshly dissolved snow.

Holding up a handful of water and slapping it on the face, the cold feeling suddenly lifted people's spirits, and the remaining tiredness after a long night of meditation was all driven away.

"Whew-"

After wiping the water stains on his face and taking a long breath, Muse gently patted Lu, who was leaning against the head of the bed, looking like he hadn't woken up.

"Wake up, you little sleeping cat. ”

As the muse spoke, there was a slight knock on the door.

And when the door was opened, it was Ludon who was holding some food in a basket outside.

"My lord, it's breakfast today. ”

After handing the muse a basket of bread, cheese, and a jug of water, Ludon continued,

"My lord, we are close to the border of the Ferreton Golden Lane Empire. ”

"Then pass through a small principality, and then enter the Mage Federation. ”

"It is expected that we will be able to reach Vitas City, the riverbank city of the Mage Federation, in the afternoon. ”

After seeing the muse's nod, Luden saluted slightly, and then walked into the cabin next to him.

Closing the door, Muse casually placed the basket containing breakfast on the table, then picked up the towel soaked in the wooden bucket filled with cold river water and wrung it out, and immediately covered Lu's face, grabbing her startled and washing her face amid Lu's screams.

"Hehe, don't try to escape......"

The movements in his hands kept stopping, but the muse turned his head to look out of the porthole, looking at the large and small sailing boats on the river, but his thoughts gradually drifted away......

In five days, Sam had already sailed upriver from a tributary of the Tunguska River, and from the mouth of the river into the main stream of the Tunguska River.

Sell the goods of Blue Mountain City in the estuary city of Grey Mist, and then load new goods down the river, and now it is close to the edge of the border of the Ferreton Golden Lane Empire, and further down is to enter the buffer area between the Ferreton Golden Lane Empire and another powerful empire.

In this long and narrow strip of buffer territory on the map, there are a number of kingdoms and principalities, which are generally small and inextricably linked to a certain powerful empire, and can be regarded as surviving in the cracks.

But among them, the Mage Federation, which has only nine cities, is an extremely unique existence.

The Mage Federation, a small, permanently neutral state with most of its population concentrated in the capital city of Mages, Einro, but no one would consider it a small country.

"A superpower without walls" is its loudest reputation, but it is also a fact recognized by all the countries on the continent of Norlanda.

It's all because the Mage Federation represents the pinnacle of spells in the entire Noranda continent!

One percent of the country's population is a spellcaster, and even if ninety percent are at the apprentice level, compared to other countries, it is already more than a hundred times the mage employment rate, which is extremely terrifying.

The country is not without nobility, but the nobility does not have any additional privileges, and the real power is in the hands of the spellcaster.

The eighteen most powerful mage organizations are the real power institutions in the country, and their respective leaders form a parliamentary organization called the "Council of Truth".

Even children in Aynro know that the members of the "Council of Truth" [Masters of Truth] are the real rulers of this country.

And spells are synonymous with power.

Even if you don't mention the clouds hanging high above the mage city of Einro, the floating city that is hidden in the clouds most of the time - "Cloud City", just the many mage towers in the "Forest of Thousand Towers" in the middle tower area of Ainro, can easily build powerful defenses and attacks!

Not to mention those terrifying spell creations and powerful magic circles!

Therefore, the Mage Federation has become a paradise for spellcasters, not only are there many common mages and warlocks on the mainland, but there are also many spellcasters such as mystics and tricksters, even those forbidden necromancers and blood mages on the continent have corresponding organizations here.

As long as they don't go too far, the country's government agencies will turn a blind eye.

The academic atmosphere here is very strong, countless spellcasters learn and grow here, there are countless mage organizations of all kinds, and only the wisest and most powerful spellcasters are allowed to have their own laboratories in the floating city, "Cloud City".

Every year, a large number of mages from the entire Noranda continent go to the Mage Federation to study and further their studies!

Because in Ainro, there are the most cutting-edge spell research materials, the most complete mage training system, and the most sophisticated spell experiment facilities!

It is also home to the headquarters of the Mage's Guild.

There is a teleportation array that connects all the mage guilds in the Noranda continent, and as long as you have enough wealth, you can theoretically teleport to any part of the Noranda continent.

Of course, that price is not ordinary - the starting price is ten gems per person, and this is only teleportation within the Mage Federation, in other regions, as the teleportation distance increases, the teleportation price increases geometrically, and there is no upper limit.

And due to the in-depth study of space spells by the mages, the business district of Aynro is world-famous, and you can not only see the specialties of various countries and places, but also the treasures and beasts of the different planes.

Most of the spell materials needed for spell research, no matter how rare and precious, can be found in it.

Needless to say, all this is needed.

All in all, the Mage Federation is the sacred place in the hearts of all mages!
