Chapter 13: The Four Alliances

The full name of Eugene's black shop is Eugene's Blackbeard Magic Store, and business has been good before, but a storm not long ago blew off a few words in it, and it became Eugene's black shop - because he was asked for 5 silver coins for maintenance fees, Eugene felt it was too high (the money in the black shop also dared to be black?) I haven't repaired it, business...... It will definitely be affected. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info heard Sophia's weak complaint, and Li Zhan's heart was like a knife. For Sophia, he carried up the ladder early the next morning and "tinkled" until noon, and then the signboard was patched. After the signboard was repaired, business immediately picked up, and Eugene was in a very good mood, so he took out a book nearly one meter thick in the room and threw it to Li Zhan: "I see that you can't even tell the difference between gold coins, stay in the store and take a good look at this "O'Leo Encyclopedia" these days." Li Zhan expressed his gratitude, now he didn't dare to take even a step out of the store door, and he needed a pastime - he was already a celebrity in Locke Town, and everyone was rumoring that the owner of the Eugene store had kidnapped an idiot adventurer who would take copper coins as gold coins! Sophia receives several groups of people from various villages who come to "visit" Li Zhan every day, and even a circus of curiosity has come to Eugene to buy Li Zhan!! Li Zhan was very suspicious that if the boss was willing to pay a high price, he would have been sold by Eugene now, and then put in a cage to travel around the continent...... After Li Zhan carried the "Encyclopedia of O'Leo" to his room, he began to get a preliminary understanding of the second home of Atlantis.

It is said that this O'Leo is a sword god who was coaxed by a bull more than 400 years ago, and he also has the status of a university scholar and an explorer. In the first half of his life, he traveled all over the continent with a sword, and in the second half of his life, he focused on organizing and compiling, and finally when he was 150 years old, he wrote this shocking "O'Leo's Encyclopedia", which has been copied countless times over the centuries, and there are countless luxurious special editions, and many family heirlooms are a "O'Leo's Encyclopedia". The contents of the books range from astronomy to geography, from mountains to oceans, from life to biology...... There are no surprises and all-encompassing, and the table of contents alone is more than 100 pages!! The book is estimated to have been read a lot, and although it has been carefully maintained by Eugene, the rhinoceros leather cover has shown noticeable wear; The book paper is Lisa paper, which has many benefits, such as toughness, insect resistance, moisture resistance, and durability...... There is only one disadvantage: it is expensive, and it costs 20 copper coins for one piece. This nearly meter-thick book requires at least tens of thousands of pieces of Lisa paper, which alone cost more than 200 gold coins, plus eternal ink for writing and snow-capped silver silk binding...... It can be said that the book is worth far more than the same volume of gold. "Although Eugene is picky about life, he is still willing to knowledge," Li Zhan said. Carefully opening the book, Li Zhan was quickly attracted by the contents......

Atlantis is a standard sci-fi continent with a variety of intelligent races: Humans, Orcs, Elves, Dragons, Seas..... Strange monsters: Beamon, Divine Dragon, Gold-Eater, Berserk Bear...... All races generally rule in their own territories, and of course there are constant disputes on weekdays. Among them, the records of the Terrans are particularly detailed:

The Terran territory is estimated to occupy about one-fifth of the continent of Atlantis, and is currently ruled by four major alliances:

Holy Alliance: The oldest Terran alliance organization. Founded by the old Ten Families and headquartered in Bratislava, the Ten Families are powerful and compete for dominance once every ten years. At present, it has 10 megacities, 31 large cities, 85 medium-sized cities, and 208 small cities, with a total population of about 300 million. The main opponents are the tough orcs.

Alliance of Creators: The most united alliance. Founded by the Church of Creation God, headquartered in Hasselt, with the Creation God Pope as the main body and the cardinals of various places under it as the auxiliary, the structure is clear, and the knights under it are powerful. At present, it controls 8 megacities, 26 large cities, 81 medium-sized cities, and 173 small cities, with a total population of about 230 million.

Mercenary King Alliance: Founded by Hercules, the king of mercenaries, the strongest man in the continent 800 years ago, it is the youngest alliance among the three major alliances, and the current ruler is the mercenary union controlled by the most powerful 16 mercenary groups. Based in Aalborg, it is said that there are currently more than 10,000 mercenary groups in the entire alliance. At present, it controls 6 megacities, 18 large cities, 55 medium-sized cities, and 149 small cities, with a total population of about 160 million, and the main opponents are elves, dwarves, and underground dark races.

10,000 Islands Alliance: A powerful alliance outside the mainland, it is said that there are more than 10,000 islands, headquartered in St. George's Island, including 5 extra-large islands, 12 large islands, 30 medium-sized islands, 98 small islands, with a total population of about 90 million, and the main opponents are various sea monsters, sea tribes, pirates, etc., although they will also fight each other.

Land of Chaos: Located at the intersection of the Three Alliances and the Two Great Mountains, it is a place on the continent where filth and dirt are hidden, and it is a paradise for all wanted criminals, thugs, and cultists. The center of domination is the city of hell. It was once surrounded and suppressed by the three major alliances, but it was stubbornly resisted by the criminals. Now it is divided into ten territories, and the rulers often change with each other, and the population is unknown. There are no eternal friends here, only eternal enemies.

Because of the barrier of the two major mountain ranges on the continent and the strong external pressure, the four major alliances are more cooperative than competitive with each other, so 1000 years ago, under the cooperation of the Holy Alliance and the Creation God Alliance, a set of "Basic Behavioral Laws of the Human Race" was formulated and promoted, and the Holy Alliance even provided a large city to facilitate the gathering and improvement of the laws by the major forces - the City of Laws, the only megacity independent of the four major alliances. Now the "Basic Laws of Behavior of the Terrans" has become a consensus of cooperation among the Terrans, and it is precisely with the constraints of this set of laws that the Terrans have been able to gain a firm foothold in the past five hundred years.

The physique of the ordinary human race can be said to be relatively weak, and it can survive and occupy one-fifth of the land, in addition to all kinds of high-end professionals and Lin Luo's powerful martial arts, rune construction and alchemy construction are indispensable......
