Chapter Twenty-Six: The Legend of Middle-earth

The reason why Middle-earth is called Middle-earth is because it has the best soil and plains in the other world, and it can be said that it is the most perfect continent in the entire other world, and as for how the people of Middle-earth know the most perfect, this has to ask those ancient scrolls thousands of years ago in the Imperial Capital Library.

In ancient texts, Middle-earth got his name, the land of Middle-earth.

And Lelouch sketched a clear geography in his mind through Richard's description:

According to Lelouche's calculations, it should be at least four drifting plates, and their junction, for various reasons, has formed a huge continuous mountain range, which is in the center of the entire continent, and the towering mountains are isolated from the outside world, leaving only a vast huge basin in the middle, and this basin is called the land of heaven, the birthplace of the human race!

The land of heaven is surrounded by a circle of mountains, it can be said that most of the enemies in the outside world are blocked, and there are only two exits to the outside world, one is the help of the dwarves in the heyday of the human race, using a million manpower to spend nearly a hundred years to open the royal road, the royal road leads directly to other human cities outside the heaven-sent land, and the royal road is like a giant sword that has split a gap in the mountains.

And at the end of the gap is the epic fortress that mankind is proud of, the Horn Fortress, a huge castle capable of stationing 200,000 troops to resist a ten-year siege, its walls are said to be 300 meters high, and there are countless huge buildings and defenses towering into the sky, it can be said that this is a fortress that cannot be fell.

Only now, the fortress is under the control of Mordor.

And in addition to the royal road of mankind, there is also a huge river that Lelouch can't figure out, the name of the river is called "Dragon River", the formation of this river is completely contrary to geographical knowledge in Leluxiu's opinion, but he just appeared here, and runs through almost the entire heaven-sent land, it can be said that it is this river that makes the name of the heaven-given land worthy of its name, because it is this river that brings the fertile fields of the heaven-sent land.

In addition to these two passages, there is no outward passage in the heaven-given land, correspondingly, there is no third path that can be entered from the outside world, after learning about this situation, Leluxiu suddenly burst into joy, such terrain and geography are simply the favorite of the farming party.

In addition to the developed agriculture, the industry also has this extremely strong foundation, and the squeezing of the four continental plates has created the Shelter Mountains (surrounded by mountains), and under high pressure, the Shelter Mountains have bred countless rich minerals, which means that as long as people with a little advanced common sense rely on these raw materials, they can carry out a vigorous industrial revolution.

Lelouch couldn't help but think of what a rich kingdom he would create in such a geographical environment, and then the Terrans would once again have the opportunity to challenge Mordor, even without the help of elves and dwarves.

Lelouch then listened:

And outside the heaven-sent land, the royal road is facing the endless steppe, which is inhabited by the close relatives of the human race in the heaven-sent land, the steppe people, the grassland and then over, the north is the birthplace of the dwarves, the sacred mountains, the west is the Gobi Desert, it is said that in the depths, there are other human beings, and have established their own civilization and empire, but these are only recorded in the scroll, compared to the desert that cannot go to the west, the east is the gray swamp, the gray swamp is a rainforest area, here is a heavy rainstorm almost every day, and the vast land, and a large number of saline-alkali land, it can be said that in addition to the forest, it is a swamp, the harsh environment makes every force around it reluctant to get involved.

And this, but also created the gray swamp, because many parties are unwilling to manage, here has become a paradise for minority races, although the life is bad, but there is no need to worry about the persecution of the big race, after the latest statistics, the gray swamp is only the registered race, there are no less than a hundred, this is not counting the other small races that are hiding, after all, the big fish eat the small fish, no matter how the place changes, the truth is the same.

From the gray shroud to the past, is Mordor's sphere of influence, and his name is very simple and easy to remember: Black Earth!

The endless black earth, this is not black suddenly, but the volcanic ash that always exudes the smell of sulfur, the black earth belongs to the hilly area, but there are a large number of volcanoes distributed in it, it can be said that there will be another volcanic eruption every week, and the scope of this black land is extremely vast, and it is precisely because of the vastness that this barren black land has given birth to a powerful race that makes the entire Middle-earth fearful, half-orcs!

The origin of the orcs is said to be a man-made race created by the more internal orc shaman, but this kind of talk has been denied by the orcs, in the mouth of the orcs, the orcs are not only not the attachment or close relatives of the orcs, but the enemies of the sky, and this is indeed reflected in the tragic war between the orcs and the orcs five hundred years ago, if it were not for the peerless hero of the orcs, the rise of Mordor, the strong unification of the two races, they may continue to fight.

But it is precisely because of the unification that they have time to take a look at the outside world for the first time, and for the first time they have discovered the human territory and dwarven mountains that are far more fertile than the black land, and even the more distant elven land has also developed a strong interest, almost without the mobilization of Mordor, only after twenty years of cultivation and recuperation, Mordor brazenly attacked the dwarven branch next to it, the Iron Mountain Dwarves, the result of the battle was very simple, less than a month, the powerful Iron Mountain Dwarves were declared defeated, and next, it was the beginning of the First World War in Middle-earth。

Richard did not go too deep into these historical events, and after mentioning them slightly, he began to introduce geography again:

The scope of the black land is very large, even if it is an orc, it has never been passed, the black land seems to be boundless, and below the black land, is the inland sea, a huge inland water, because it is very large, so it is called the inland sea, the inland sea has many rivers, these rivers extend in all directions, through the inland sea, people can reach almost any piece of land known at present, and the lord of Mordor back then, it was also through the help of the pirates of the inland sea and the free state of the inland sea forces, bypassing the danger of the heaven-given land, the elves of the side attack, without the barrier of the heaven-given land, the elves faced the lord of Mordor, and also persisted for less than two years。

And beyond the elves, there is an endless sea, and it is said that the depths are inhabited by legendary creatures, dragons!

This is the world known to the Terrans at present, but the more you know, the more you don't know:

What was the world of the Dwarven Hallowed Mountains like in the past?

What awaits those at the end of the black earth?

Is there really another human civilization in the endless desert to the west?

Are there other continents on the other side of the sea, and are the legends of the dragons on them true?

There are too many unsolved these, and the human race has no strength to explore, and Richard only mentioned it casually, but he didn't know that these doubts were deeply rooted in Lelouch's heart, if the biggest advantage of earth humans and Middle-earth humans was, in addition to technology, that was the endless desire for knowledge

Richard also seemed to be tired of talking, and after throwing the two scrolls about the new city to Lelouch, he took a sip of wine and prepared to take a lunch break, but Lelouch, who was shocked by this huge worldview, could not calm down the turmoil in his heart, compared to the world, what was he pursuing now?

The seed in Lelouxiu's heart finally sprouted, he looked up at the sky above his head, and secretly vowed to see this other world clearly, and all this started with the revival of the human race!
