Chapter 8 History
In this vast continent, it is divided into three major plates: the Sush Shelf, the Bastinian Ocean and the Vincy Desert, of which the most inhabitable land is divided between the five major empires, namely the Lindote Kingdom, the Luan Federation, the Luna Principality, the Arr Empire and the Parman Kingdom.
Du Yuhan's Lindote country is the largest human empire, originating in the area of the Gangluo River, and has been an agricultural people for generations. According to the existing books, it has a history of 8,300 years and has gone through 131 dynasties. It is home to many historic cities with a glorious history and splendid culture.
Due to the occupation of the Sush continental shelf, which is the richest in ecological resources among the three major plates, despite the change of dynasties, the centralized rule did not allow the empire to fall into fragmentation due to war, and the long-term stability allowed the society to concentrate on economic development, and the trade economy developed very well, and the alchemy industry and inscription industry were particularly developed, making it the largest trading country among the five empires.
Bordering it is the Luan Federation, which is mainly made up of the sea beasts of the ocean.
Due to the country's mostly icy climate, the people are fierce, and the forging and smelting industries are very famous, and its military power is also the most powerful among the five empires. However, due to the scarcity of environmental resources, a long-term cooperative relationship was formed with Lindot, with one side providing military support and the other being responsible for living assistance.
The biggest difference between the Luna Empire and other countries in the Bastinian Ocean Islands is that it is a country controlled by elves.
The elves believe in the goddess of the moon, who are close to nature by nature, and are mostly handsome in appearance and have an extremely long lifespan. Their long service to the moon gods has given them a better understanding of magic and spells than in other empires, and many of the best magicians come from here.
But because of this, he is very arrogant, thinking that the elves are the best race on this continent, and he often disdains the beasts and humans.
Two thousand three hundred years ago, the Luna Empire waged a war of aggression against the bordering Arr Empire and the Paman Empire, and enslaved them for nearly three hundred years. However, although the elves lived an extremely long life, the rebirth rate was extremely low, and then the race gradually declined, and was no longer able to control the two major territories, and finally could only recognize its independence with hatred.
The first to break away from the Luna Empire was the Arr Empire, which was composed of dwarves and humans.
Due to the long-term rule of the Luna Empire, it has prospered economically and culturally. Moreover, most of the descendants are descendants of the elven race, and they have made great achievements in understanding the "rules" of modeling, combined with the unique mechanical talent of the dwarf race, which has trained many excellent modelers.
Although it is not as good as the Lindot Kingdom economically, the Luan Federation militarily, and the Yueshen Principality in terms of political operations, because of the arrogant strength of the modelers, relying on the continuous expansion of territory and the annexation of small principalities on the border, it is among the five major empires.
The country of Paman, on the other hand, is located in the Vincy Desert, which is an isolated continent, and although it is the most extensive country, the climatic conditions are relatively harsh.
Since the main race is the beast race, the habits of the beast group are difficult to integrate in a short period of time, so it has been in a state of separation of princes for a long time, and the major city lords have their own policies according to the race, and they rarely unite together.
However, due to the special geographical environment, except for being enslaved by the Moon God Empire for hundreds of years, it has never been conquered by other empires as a whole. Although there was friction with the troops of the Luna Empire who were still stationed in the same place in the border area, it was generally peaceful.
********
Since there are classes during the day and swordsmanship at night, the two parties agreed to use the time after dinner to make up for their knowledge. Through the one-on-one intensive review in the past few days, Du Yuhan has some basic understanding of this continent.
"Hmm...... So our area is relatively peaceful? Du Yuhan asked while listening to Kevin's explanation.
The same can be said. In ancient times, there were only humans and elves, so the Kingdom of Lindote and the Luna Empire have been in a relatively opposite state since ancient times. After speaking, Kevin said sarcastically: "It's just that the cost of the war is too high now, and the elves can't afford this price, so they put their ideas on the agents." β
"Agent?"
"For the sake of political stability, each empire will foster some small principalities in the borders of its own territory." His slender fingers tapped the borders of the Luna Empire on the map. "And then give the money to let these small principalities harass the borders of other empires for a long time."
"Oh, that's to train a bunch of little brothers to disgust the neighbors from time to time."
Kevin smiled slightly in agreement, "The other party also uses the same method of operation, so there are few positive conflicts between empires and empires, most of them are sporadic conflicts between small principalities, which is generally called proxy wars." β
It can not only provoke contradictions, but also watch the fire from the other side, and wait until both sides lose the battle, and you can also sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Du Yuhan frowned, no one is right or wrong in this kind of geopolitical politics, but it is a pity that the ordinary people in the frontier are suffering...... He suddenly found that his previous life away from famine and war was quite happy.
"Our small town is not considered a border, so there is generally no danger of war." Seeing that Du Yuhan was a little depressed, Kevin smiled. "War is a continuation of politics. Many of Lindot's policy positions are relatively neutral, unlike the Luna Empire, which rarely provokes disputes. β
Hearing this, Du Yuhan snorted coldly.
"Hmph, I must be unwilling to let my former little brother Salted Fish turn over and be able to sit on an equal footing with himself, that's why I made so many small moves-ah......"
suddenly remembered that Kevin was also a member of the elf clan, and although the sentence just now was unintentional, it could be regarded as slandering his motherland.
"Uh, I'm sorry, I meanβ"
"You're right." Kevin didn't have any anger at all, and when he mentioned the Luna Empire, he still had a strong sense of disgust. "It's just not reconciled."
This sentence made Du Yuhan sound a little strange.
For Du Yuhan, the motherland is where he grew up, even if it is not good, he can only scold himself. If others dare to say that it is not, then he will definitely beat the other party all over the ground to find teeth.
But Kevin's reaction was a bit unexpected, and he suddenly became curious about Kevin's experience.
"Kevin, how long have you been living here?"
Kevin thought for a moment, "It's been about four years. β
"It's quite far from your hometown...... Du Yuhan visually measured the distance on the map.
"It's okay, it's about half a month by boat."
"Why did you come here to go to school?"
"......" Kevin's expression darkened, his long eyelashes trembled a few times, and he didn't speak.
"Well, it's okay if you don't want to say it! Ha ha! Du Yuhan saw that this reaction was wrong, and immediately smiled awkwardly.
"Eh, you, don't cry!"
Amused by Du Yuhan's hurried reaction, Kevin laughed. "How could I cry."
Then why didn't you suddenly speak! I'm scared, okay?! Pouting, Du Yuhan only dared to complain in his heart.
Looking at Du Yuhan's flushed face, wanting to complain but not daring to complain, Kevin suddenly felt that this handsome man was very special, different from those who took the initiative to approach him before, maybe ...... Maybe I can trust him a little more......
"Because, I was exiled by my family."
ββ¦β¦ Hey? β
In fact, it is also a very bloody story of a wealthy family.
The Christian family is an ancient big family in the Moon God Empire, serving the goddess of the moon for generations, and the current patriarch is even the chief attendant of the moon god, which is the supreme position in the theocratic state, it can be said that in addition to the king of a country, he is next.
It's a pity that there is a clansman who fell in love with a girl of the human race, and the great nobles attach great importance to the purity of blood, and it is simply unimaginable to accept such a woman of unknown origin. However, despite the opposition of his family, he insisted on marrying the girl, and finally gave birth to Kevin. Although the bloodline is not pure, it is a descendant of blood connection, and the family finally has no choice but to accept it.
Due to various reasons, Kevin's father died within a few years, his mother is missing, and he is ostracized by his clan everywhere because of his impure blood. It wasn't until ten years ago that the famous travelogue historian Neuss Clark arrived in Lindotte.
Noyce stumbles upon a yellow-skinned Kevin at a dinner party, and he can't bear it, so he mentions to Christian's patriarch that he needs an assistant to follow him on his travels.
The patriarch agreed almost without hesitation, and that night, he immediately sent Kevin to the bottom of Enos. Since then, Kevin has traveled all over the world with Enos.
"I stayed with my uncle until four years ago, when Uncle Enos came to Rob City and began to study the human history here." Kevin gently rubbed the smooth parchment pages, "He wanted me to meet more of my peers and learn more, so he left me here." β
"That's it......" Afraid that he would say the other party's sadness again, Du Yuhan hurriedly changed the topic, "Then what did your uncle come here to study?" β
"He was interested in the history of the model. He had heard that Master Hill, the greatest model of all time, had lived in the vicinity of Rob City as a child. β
"Modeler?"
Grasping the familiar point, Du Yuhan's first thought was the pile of white molds placed in the small secret room of the original body, as well as the hundreds of jars of strange material liquids.
"What does a modeler do?"
"Modellers can make all kinds of objects according to 'rules.'"
"Rules?" Du Yuhan blinked, "What does 'rule' mean?" β
"Hmm...... I don't know much about the specifics, but it is said that only modelers can see it. β
"Are modelers rare?"
"It's relatively scarce. In fact, there are some modelers in the town, but most of them are beginner-level modelers, and the middle-level and above are generally for the city lord. β
"Is there a hierarchy here?" Du Yuhan was surprised. "Is it true that if the model is built more similarly, the series is higher?"
"I don't know much about the criteria for this level, the modelers are more mysterious and have a high status."
"Wow-" Du Yuhan couldn't help but start to be obscene. I used to be a professional modeler, so how can I say that I can be considered an intermediate or high-level model here?
As soon as he saw Du Yuhan's expression, Kevin knew what he was thinking, "Are you interested in the model?" β
"Hey, it's okay." Think about yourself as a model before, so it's a peer, right? "Can anyone become a modeler?"
