At the beginning of the end of the Dark Ages, the number of ordinary people in the entire human world was about one billion, of which there were almost 100,000 on the mysterious side.

This was followed by the prosperity of the Empire, the first population explosion, which increased the number of ordinary people to 10 billion, and the population of the mysterious side also expanded to 1 million.

Three hundred years ago, after the emergence and rapid popularization of steam technology, the second population explosion began, and now the entire world is almost 100 billion, and the population of the mysterious side is also close to 10 million.

The human world is incomparably wide, the sky is round, and in the middle of the boundless sea of nothingness, the square continent is divided into two by the Hengduan Mountain Range, and is divided into the south and the north.

The southern territory is vast and rich, suitable for human habitation, even today's 100 billion population, but still only developed the entire southern territory of the tenth of the twelfth, with the continuous innovation and progress of steam technology, I believe there will be a better tomorrow waiting for mankind.

However, the environment in the north is harsh, the climate is extreme, it may be thousands of miles of red land yesterday, it will be full of floods today, and it will be snowy tomorrow, only a few human tribes that can be called fighting races still live in the north, and the deeper part of the north is now the place where many transcendent races defeated and driven away by the human race survive.

With the continent as the center, the Sea of Nothingness is divided into four parts, the East Sea, the South China Sea, the West Sea, the North Sea, and the islands on the sea are numerous, and some fishermen and transcendent races live, and the sea is the paradise of the water tribes.

It's just that the once prosperous Four Seas, now the West Sea has been eroded by the abyss and reduced to a demon domain, and the Terrans have set up a border Great Wall on the coastline of the West Sea, of which the southern half of the city wall is guarded by the Church Legion and the Imperial Legion as the main force, and the northern half of the city wall is jointly garrisoned by the northern tribes and the transcendent race.

Even though all races often fight to the death, the abyss is the enemy of everyone.

The entire human realm has always been balanced in this way, and it has developed for thousands of years, until sixteen years ago, when the empire collapsed, and the empire, one of the main pillars that supported the balance of the world, was gone, and the whole situation was also unbalanced.

The eyes of the nomadic tribes, fed up with the extreme environment of the North, and the transcendent races who had recovered from the previous wars began to turn to the rich South, and the eyes of many forces in the South turned to the Iron Throne, which symbolized the supreme power of the South.

Because of the collapse of the Empire, the Imperial Legion, which was originally one of the main forces of the border guards, also began to fall into power entanglements, and a large number of people were transferred out one after another, and the Templar Church had to take over this mess, and almost all the main forces of the Church were put into the front line to suppress the abyssal forces that could counterattack at any time.

As a result, the church forces that were once responsible for mediating the contradictions between the various forces of the Terrans and avoiding internal friction among the Terrans were short-staffed for a while, and the power in their hands almost existed in name only.

The world is about to be in turmoil, and it is even possible that the millennium of development will return to the dark ages.

For the current situation, the powerful people in the ordinary world may be clear, but they don't care.

In this era when education has not yet been fully popularized, ordinary people do not have such a high strategic vision, they just think that they are going to fight again, although they are afraid, but they are helpless, after all, life still has to live.

The elite intellectuals have either begun to transfer assets and are ready to arrange a way back; Or start to run around, form a wide range of like-minded people, and seek the flower of hope that can save the world under the curtain that is about to open.

In this wave, the mysterious side is undoubtedly the strongest response, after all, the mysterious side is composed of the tens of millions of middle- and upper-class elites who account for a small minority of the hundreds of billions of people of the human race.

Don't look at the secret ban divides this world into the mysterious side and the ordinary world, it seems to be distinct, as if it is really people from two worlds, but everyone is human and lives on the same land, how can this really be as if they are two parallel worlds and are not related.

The mysterious side personnel who have mastered the extraordinary power generally have a superficial identity in the ordinary world, and this identity is not too bad, after all, the popularity of the mysterious side education alone has already opened the gap between them and ordinary people, not to mention the addition of extraordinary abilities, it may not be easy to be rich and rich, but it is definitely not difficult to have food and clothing, and financial freedom.

Therefore, most of the members of the mysterious side in the ordinary world are nobles, squires, emerging factory owners, big artists, and so on, and no matter how bad they are, they are all the best of the middle class.

Therefore, you can even simply equate the mysterious side with the person in power of the human race, after all, the unlucky Halder family like Diana has not finally produced a child with a talent for witchcraft until today, and there are really not many dignitaries who have obtained tickets to enter the mysterious side.

Draw cards for hundreds of years.,It's all garbage N cards without qualifications.,Hold it until today and finally have an SSR.,This can really only be said to be a word of fate.,Anyway, other big families can always draw a guaranteed R card or something at most three or four generations.,Although this garbage qualification is not worth mentioning.,But at least the family enters the mystery side of the ticket.,The follow-up can always raise SR or even SSR cards by spending money on the family.。

In short, perhaps because of the problem of magic pattern qualifications, some of the top elites in the ordinary world are not necessarily people on the mysterious side, but the people on the mysterious side are almost all middle and upper-class people in the ordinary world, and they actually control the development of the entire human race.

In the face of the coming troubled times, the mysterious side of the people has also been quarrelling, and the current mainstream is divided into two factions.

One group is more radical, believing that this is both a challenge and an opportunity, and they should be more involved.

The other group is more Buddhist, they choose to escape from the world, and they feel that it is none of their business.

Among them, there were many people from the escapist sect, so they began to move into the three main cities, preparing to find peace and escape from the imminent war in the three main cities that were separated from the world.

This has directly led to the soaring housing prices in the three major cities, which are hard to find, and the expansion speed is far from keeping up with the demand.

For example, this mysterious side of the capital, shuttling through Gaia's train city - Estate.

When the god of steam created this mobile city that walked through the spiritual veins more than 300 years ago, Estade had only 15 carriages, and it was not until 16 years ago that the number of carriages expanded to 50 after 300 years of development.

Since the collapse of the empire sixteen years ago, the number of carriages in Estata has reached 99, and the 100th carriage city has only been half built, but the land on the 100th carriage city has been sold out, and even the 101 carriage and the 102 carriage that have not yet begun construction have already begun to be booked.

However, in any case, the most prosperous area of the entire Astade is still the city of carriages 1 to 7, because these carriage cities are the head of the entire train city, the source of power, and naturally have a special status.

It's a pity that the land of these seven carriage cities is not something that can be bought with money, and it also needs a certain status and power, as the base camp of the wizarding association, these seven carriage cities belong to the seven sages, and often only the members of the sage's faction can live in these seven carriage cities.

Above the Sky Passage, a magnificent heavenly carriage was rampant.

Inside the car, Merlin lay on the couch, watching with interest the scene outside the car that appeared on the magic screen in front of him.

Each carriage city in Estetta has its own characteristics, and this feature is often related to the preferences of the owner of the carriage city, but the preferences of wizards are often related to their own magic patterns, so the buildings in each carriage city are quite unique.

The first carriage of the castle is solemn and solemn, and the building is like a palace, which is very majestic.

The second carriage is full of volcanoes, hills, and deserts, and the architecture is so simple that the tinkling of iron can be heard even in the sky.

The third carriage city is like a safari park, with green grass and exotic animals everywhere.

The fourth carriage city is a farm, full of all kinds of flowers and plants, and the houses and buildings are like mushrooms, which is very fairytale-like.

The Fifth Carriage City is an ocean with floating markets on the surface and buildings looming in the water.

The Sixth Carriage City is eerie and terrifying, and even the houses are built like a cemetery.

Finally, there is the Seventh Carriage City, a whole primeval forest with a green forest and various tree houses built on the treetops like birds' nests.

The destination of the carriage is the city of the seventh carriage, which is Cynthia's territory, which can be seen at a glance from the rich elven-style treehouse.

Pegasus' leg strength is extraordinary, especially since this one is still a Holy Rank Pegasus, and the six huge carriages are far apart, but in about ten minutes, the carriage has already reached its destination, landing in a small square in the middle of the woods.

"Brother, how about it, have you thought about it, whether to play a lap and go home and continue to stay at home, or take over the witch's house and establish our own faction."

Cynthia stood up from the couch and reached out to Merlin, her green eyes looking at him, waiting for his answer.

"Alas....."

Merlin sighed, and finally reached out to hold Cynthia's hand, a little resigned.

"Okay, okay, count me unlucky, for the days when there is an Internet in the future, I did it."
